Does anyone know if the Pink/Purple camera issue affected all M7's or was this sorted out with later production runs?
Thanks.

No. Only first models had that issue. Model produced after september 2013 should not have that issue. If phone's serial number starts with HT34 (or SH) or similar it is most likely to have purple camera. Serial numbers like HT39 or later are produced after september and should not have any camera issues.
Thanks for that.
I really like my M7 but it's having issues and a broken screen.
As i can buy a new one for $150.00 I thought I'd just replace it.
Would love the new HTC 10 but no FM radio is a deal breaker for me.

Your is made in August. Too bad that you are having camera issues. Mine is HT37 but looks like the previous owner repaired the phone, so I got lucky as my camera works perfect.

As we all know first batch of HTC Ones had few issues but i decided to buy now my couisin which lives in uk just bought 2 HTC Ones for me he is old and not good with technology.
would this phones be 5th or 6th batch has anyoneone bought recently how are they now
he bought it from phones4u in London
anyone bought recently from phones4u?
I'm not sure what supply is like in the UK but, if it is like the rest of the world, I would imagine not very good. If that is the case, recently bought phones should be pretty new.
I bought my phone from Hong Kong on the 18th and it was 2 weeks old. Hong Kong was hit hard by shortages, so maybe they'd be a bit older in the UK. I'd guess you're likely to get a mid-April phone. Odds are highly in your favour it will be fine.

Hi i bought phones 3 days ago they were from may 13 manufactured bot have sharp panel both have gaps and bad digitiser
Wow, really? I am surprised by that. I thought HTC had sorted things out. That's not very good on their part to still have QC issues this late in production.
So maybe I'm lucky with my phone?:what:

From my HTC need standing it's all based on the batch and store get random phones from a variety of batches. You need to locate a thread that has been gathering all the serial numbers and fond what serial number types have the least or no flaws. Anyway that's just my input. Hope it helps.

So, I have this white line of light under the two light sensors in the top left. It's only visible at a extrem angle, tilting the phone so it almost stands on its head. Is this normal or should I get it replaced?
Here's a picture of it.

Should I have the box and stuff with me as well?

I took mine directly back to ATT, which was where I bought it. They exchanged it on the spot. I just showed them what i was talking about. They had no other questions for me. Mine was even rooted and unlocked lol.

Hey guys. I have the VZW HTC One and was curious if any of you have seen the purple hazing camera issue fixed with this update. HTC said the update would remedy the problem. Can anyone verify the fix?
I can verify that the problem persists. HOWEVER, it has been slightly reduced. I can take pictures now on the dark and it is possible to take better pictures. It changes ISO quickly to reduce the purple tint.
The main update wasn't included with the ota yet
Sent from my HTCONE using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Still appears to be a hardware issue (even though it has been reduced, it still is there for some), I would return to your carrier and ask for a new one.

What?
I can confirm that problem is still present with the update although it's been reduced as others are saying.
Also, what's this about the main update wasn't included with the OTA?
It seems to be a firmware issue. I did not have any purple problems until I updated the firmware. Now I have them. I've heard that downgrading to an older firmware fixes it for people like myself who didn't have it before but now have it. My boss had the issue(GSM version), updated his firmware, and no longer has it. Seems the fix for it causes it for some people.

I doubt it as it's there on devices that didn't have it prior to the update now.
Running flex 2.03 and my camera seems to be fine, no purple haze..

I have to agree with you. I'm one who never had the purple problem untill the 4.3 update. Also Flash set to auto doesn't seem to flash when it should be.
Might try the firmware downgrade next weekend.

definately a hardware issue, although i'd like to know what caused it.
never had the problem until a few weeks ago, then all i got is purple tint in my photos in low light.
this phone used to take the best photos in low light compared to other phones on the market, now its just crap.
latest 4.3 roms dont fix it either.

Looks like it's getting too hot which somehow shows up in the pictures. Bad units for sure.
Purple haze came with 4.3
My HTC One has never had a purple haze up until I updated last week to 4.3. It doesn't seem possible that this is a hardware issue when mine was perfect until the software update. That doesn't make any sense.

I don't think it's a hardware issue directly. It's a post-processing issue. That points to firmware more than anything to me. If I had to guess, I'd say that they sourced the camera hardware to multiple vendors. As a result, the different vendors have slightly different sensitivities. So the post-processing that works fine from Vendor A-G may cause the purple issue on Vendor H and I. The firmware update that fixes it for Vendor I breaks it for Vendor E. It's a balance of slightly different hardware using the same firmware.

Agreed, mine is not fixed but when I updated to 4.3 without firmware it was terrible, now with the newest firmware almost perfect, though still a slight amount of purple tint. Good enough for me to keep it.

Likewise. On every firmware/kernel I've tried, Ive never once experienced this nor heard of it either...
Maybe it addresses an issue the HTC One has. I thought he was more of an HTC leaks guy.

Yeah same here. I'm subbed to the defects thread, picture thread and I followed the rma thread for a few weeks. I never saw any mention of a tint. People did mention a purple tint on the HTC one when comparing the HTC one to our phones.

With a couple of entirely non-educated, unprofessional clicks ( I swear the net has given any old attention-whore (clickbait,etc.) a podium) I was able to determine this is the battery drain bug fix mentioned a few weeks back:

Seriously..relying on Twitter for breaking news is JUST LIKE relying on the town crazy flailing his arms when he stumbles down the street, but even less accurate, because at least he knows what's goin on in his own reality.
This article seems to be more accurate in the proposed direction of the coming update.

I'm going to be mighty disappointed if the only bug fix is for the camera.
what about..
the 0 bytes/restart services bug?
the microphone bug in calls?
the microphone bug in videos?
the non received message and calls bug?
the intermittent slow WiFi bug when data is switched on?
.. come on Google!!!!!!

No it's completely normal it is just the camera switching its lens on in order to take a picture.

The purple camera thing is due to the phone being hot.. the Older HTC one's had improper heat shielding that wasn't sufficient enough to cool the camera. Send your device to HTC they'll fix it for free. atleast they did for me
