no, many of the older / refurbished models have a defective camera in them
some show purple / or other colors in low light.

for warranty, you have to check with retailer himself, & your problem is hardware related, so maybe rooting might not matter, but it is advised to unroot it before taking it back to Service Center....

good for you, mine is from UK itself, Glamour Red edition,but doesn't have any international warranty, so they won't repair mine..
Do they repair them or do they swap them for reconditioned ones?

The only way I know of to properly screw your phone is to flash an incompatible radio, but even then I'm not sure that HTC will replace it. First time I've come across someone who actually wants to bork their phone!
Downgrade to froyo. That will completely **** it.
Edit: HTC will probably replace the motherboard, almost as good as a new phone.
For what I known (at least in my country) phones are replaced with a new one if it has less than 7 or 14 days, after that they will repair your phone...
A myth through the web say that you could screw you phone by putting it in the micro-wave for a few seconds (obviously without battery); some people tell that it's detectable, others not, others say only if you cook for long time...
Thank you guys but I want more and exact suggestions by which HTC can replace my cell not only motherboard...I m from india.
Does anyone have an exact idea and yeah one more thing how to flash a radio.

I would be carefull because if you mess up your phone htc could say that it was caused by you when you got the marks on the case as they say you dropped it even if you didn't.

I don't think its worth the trouble, of you deliberately brick it, they will either not fix it, or maybe replace the motherboard.
Maybe you can take it somewhere to get the casing replaced? You can buy that sort of stuff in eBay

No point really if there's nothing actually wrong with the phone besides cosmetic. Post a pic of the damage?
Idk how Urs in India, but Herr in Austria they just repair if phone never fell hard on the Ground or Water. My little Brother bricked his Samsung Galaxy Ace s Motherboard by flashing another Recovery. And Samsung has given us a new phone, it was rooted.

Yeah, this is what happened to my IncS. It was little less than a month old when my wife dropped it on hard ground. The ambient light sensor went berserk, and the phone would restart every few minutes. Took it to a HTC center here in B'lore, and they gave me a new IncS In fact, I was given the choice to take any HTC phone for the same price.
Good luck if you decide on doing the same
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
HTC IncS, now on MIUI. Was on Cyanogenmod, VirtuousQuattro RC3/4, and something else before that
so they didn't ask why the light sensor went bad ? i mean does HTC replace a handset if it is damaged due to human error or natural causes?

I never told them I dropped it But of course, unlike in your case, my phone did not have too many scratches on it. Very few, actually. The only apparent problem with it was the light sensor.

my HTC one have purple and red tint when in low light
anyone have any idea?u guys can try cover your lens while in camera mode
see have any red or purple tint like me just wish there a solution on it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317507
Already solved here as best it can be IMO...
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
This is a hardware problem, the only way to properly fix it is to get a new phone. When the lens is completely covered, you're supposed to see just black.
I have the same problem only after 4.2 update as i look back to my other night scene photos before the update, everything is fine even at ISO 1250 still no purple tintng. After the update it appear all over the place even in ISO 400. I hope HTC can come up with an update to solve the camera issue. This is bad for HTC.
get your piece replaced within 14 days of purchase. or else you'll have to send your phone to service center.
I had the exact same problem with my HTC ONE. i tolerated it for 2 months then cud'nt take it anymore. Took it to service center and told them that i want my camera sensor replaced. Got my phone 7 days later with perfectly functioning camera!!

May I know how's your device now? Does the purple tint show again after a period of time?
Got a replacement, however, using for a while, the same problem happens again! It's like an endless recycle.

More specifically, the 4.3 update attempts to fix it, does change it a bit, but does not completely fix the problem. I updated, it now goes black if I put it on a table but there is still noise in low light shots. I hear htc may be working on another OTA but this one may work better for some than others depending on how bad the issue was.
It is definitely a hardware issue, but it should be more addressable than this by software because it's just a matter of "ignoring" the noise. I have a camera at work that does exactly that when it has the same red noise issue.

They've said that on and off since the phone's release.
It is definitely a hardware issue. Specifically, the camera sensor itself.
No software can fix a hardware issue.
I actually have this issue myself, but I have a proper camera and don't really care about the camera on this phone too much. I knew it wasn't gonna be a good camera when I bought it.

Thats BS. I had the same issue. They replaced the camera lens. That solved the issue. It is entirely a hardware issue.
Why htc giving false information? purple tint issue happened after some sw update? what if we replace the lens by htc , it can come in future if we update again right?
Has anyone found a fix or the root cause of the purple image tint on the camera? I bought a new camera and it is worse then the original? Does the problem actually have to do with the camera or is something else?
Thanks

Before your camera quality went down hill did you do any upgrades ???
I didn't do any upgrades. I noticed that over time the pictures starting getting out of focus then the purple tint started.

This has been covered many many times.
Software changes can help to mask the problem.
But the real problem is a faulty sensor, which is why HTC covers this under warranty and have openly admitted to the issue.
They have to replace the sensor for a better one, to truly fix the issue.
Heat is what makes it show up the most, but its truly a hardware flaw and the only "real" solution is to have it repaired.
Im surprised to see anyone still asking this...as its been covered all over this site and the web.
I figured that was the case from what I read. HTC will not fix my phone for free because I have taken the phone apart and unlocked the bootloader. Is there any place for me to buy the upgraded camera at? I got 2 cameras off ebay and they were both worse thank the one that was in my phone.

As no one is paying attention to the old thread I am seeking for a fix/solution to the white noise/static coming out of the speakers while the battery is below 40-45%
It's quite noticeable when watching youtube videos and having the volume around 10-20%. I've read that installing vipermod fixes the issues but not for me. I really don't want to RMA the phone as everything else is fine and i've also read that someone exchanged their phones 4-5 times and still has the problem. Does custom rom fix the problem? Is there any solution to the problem? Is it hardware or software related?

I have noticed it with notification sounds only. I don't use the phone speakers often because I cast everything. Never bothered me enough to RMA though. I've had mine since November release.
Maybe i'll have to admit myself defeated by Google and Motorola then :crying:

Motorola uses the same repair center the retailer use...living in Europe sucks. Motorla does not handle repairs, they let a third party handles repairs in Europe (at least for Sweden)
I know now that the issue is 99% a software issue. The problem does not occur when using the earpiece and taking a call. Even if the battery is 5%. But if I use the speakerphone I can hear a slight static noise but not as much when watching YouTube
I would really appreciate if someone with the same problem found a solution or workaround until Google sort their **** together
