My auto white balance was really bad. I returned my 3vo and got replacement. That one had the green camera as did the next. This one has the auto white balance problem (purple people and red skin tones when outside) AND a tilted screen, AND specs under the screen, AND reboots! Obviously I'm returning it tomorrow, but my question goes like this. If I get another one with green screen or white balance issues, can it be fixed by a software update/developer? Or is it hardware?

Software. That is if you are talking about the camera white balance.
Appreciate my help? Thank me

Shouldn't have returned the phone because of a software issue in the first place.
If your phone is randomly rebooting and you haven't installed any unusual apps , return it at once, it is likely a hardware defect.
The poor camera white balance issue is a software problem and can likely be fixed with improved software.
Should we be writing emails to HTC and sprint about this? This is the only gripe I have about my phone. Maybe if brought to their attention, multiple times, they will fix it.

I think we should, but I know they probably will do nothing about it. I expect HTC will fix it all at some point but I think the community released ROMs will fix the problems even before HTC does.
I don't understand why HTC is so bad about properly optimizing their software (Sense), providing a GPU accelerated UI, proper camera software, etc. Aside from the pretty looking effects of sense, it is pretty much unoptimized overweight garbage software.
I'm really glad we will be getting custom roms on this phone, it will show the true power of the underlying hardware, something which HTC failed to do IMO.

Dear sir or madam,
I've recently purchased one of your products (the HTC EVO 3d), and can honestly say that it is by far the best phone I have used yet. However, the camera (2d or 3d) is by far one of the worst I've seen on any device, including my previous phone, the EVO 4g. I have experienced a green and purple tint in low light situations and purple flesh tones in actual sunlight. These situations are consistant with every photo. I at first thought, "this phone must be defective", so I exchanged it for a new replacement. Long story short, I'm now on my fourth replacement phone and going in for my fifth tomorrow. Every one of these phones has had the same issue. Purple and green everywhere. As one of the main features of this phone are the dual 5mp cameras, needless to say, I'm extremely disappointed in the sub par quality. I was told by a very trusted source that the issue of the painfully low quality of the camera could be resolved by a software revision/update. If this is so , please do not hesitate to look into and fix this issue. If it is a hardware issue, I don't understand why you would put such terrible hardware in this phone. I've seen the quality of the camera on other handsets (such as the mytouch 4g and the thunderbolt), and was very, very impressed. As I am not the only one with this issue, I would think that this could do nothing but hurt your reputation as the top android handset distributor. if you cannot fix this issue on existing handsets, could you please let Me/the public know so we can better compare the 3d to other handsets before purchasing?
I would rather not permanently return my phone for a competitors handset, but like many others I've spoken with, I will if need be. Hope to hear a definitive answer from you soon.
I Thank you and await

I understand you are experiencing green and purple tinted pictures when using the camera on your device. I understand how important this is, as I do like the colors green and purple but I do not want my pictures to look like this either.
We are aware of this issue and we are working as fast as we can to get this resolved as soon as possible. This issue should be resolved via software update but we do not have any information about when this will be available. We do not have an ETA, but please keep an eye on HTC.com and our other official social media outlets (our official Facebook and Twitter pages) for updates and announcements about your device. We thank you for your patience in this matter and I assure you we are working as fast as we can to get this issue resolved.

So, as I said, I LOVE this phone and think it rocks! I've been having all sorts of fun with it and the ROMS that are available.
However, I wanted to ask if anyone had any views or personal knowledge of the Google Nexus One?
Now that I have been truly spoiled by Android and this community, I started keeping an eye on ebay, CL, the usual places for any stellar deals. I'm seeing some Nexus One phones at reasonable prices but am unsure if I would be doing the right thing moving to an older model than the Aria.
It does appear to have a better screen and faster processor but I tohught I'd tap the community for your views.
Please, I'm not looking for any haters, flamers or getting into a pissing match about why the Aria is better that phone x,y, & z. I'm purely asking from a users perspective whether it's worth me having to invest (because I'll lose money on the Aria) to "upgrade" to a Nexus One?
Also bear in mind I'm NOT looking for any phones tied in with a contract, hence why I am somewhat limited in my scope.
Many thanks everyone.
Personally I'm favoring the inspire, but it might be awhile before it gets down to a reasonable price (and a while before someone figures out how to root the new hboot).

You need to go visit the HTC Inspire forum. The Inspire can be rooted despite the HBOOT loader that was shipped on the phone. IMO $399 non-commit for a phone like the Inspire is pretty reasonable, too.
Nice! I will go check it out. Thanks!

Thanks for the pointers guys. I'd still really like to hear more pros / cons directly about the N1 as compared to the Aria.

There are some multitouch problems on the N1. It goes crazy when your cross the axis. Same problem came with the Desire with Amoled screen. I think there is also another problem that makes the grey color look pink-ish

Could you clarify that a bit for me? I'm not even sure what that means - crossing the axis?
To be fair, I don't really use many gestures other than pinch-zoom, does it affect that?

Even though it is a little older, the N1 will still be faster than the Aria. And the development community is just huge.
I'm thinking about getting the Nexus S. They will be available in Canada soon, on bands that are AT&T compatible.
Anyway, I don't see how anyone on XDA would be disappointed with the N1. There's just so much you can do with it.

No it doesn't affect pinch-to-zoom but there are games or apps where you need to cross your fingers and it is affected by this issue. Here's a video that kind of shows what I'm talking about. Same problem came with the Desire with Amoled screen.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsSUqkh8pcI
Ahh, I see. THANKS for the video post, that really clearly illustrates the issue. Is this a problem on the super LCD screen or just the AMOLED and was was it addressed at all via firmware updates?
Bottom line, I'm really on the fence about getting a Nexus One as I am happy with my Aria. The main points in favor for me I think is coming down to Nexus having bigger screen and being able to use the trackball as my notifier - the LED on the Aria SUCKS!!
as from what i seen on the multi-touch test in dev tools our aria suffers the similar problems

Download dev tools from the market or any multi touch test and you'll see what he's talking about. It's because the aria has a capacitive touch screen like the nexus one. Capacitive screens can only register two touch points. And really only good enough to recognize a "pinching" gesture.
I believe most of that info is correct.
Thanks, you know what, I already tried it and it's true! It causes some very weird behaviors....who knew??!!
To be honest it really doens't affect much in terms of real world usage and I'm still pondering the idea of getting a N1 as I'm actually pretty happy with my Aria. We'll see.
so a rep from the HTC escalation dept or whatever called me and asked me about the email i wrote them complaining about the Amazes flaws, he said he was going to collect information and get it to the higher ups so a patch can be made to address the problems and shortcomings.
since he asked i told him how are phones bleed light from the touch buttons and the screen isnt sharp like the sensation and the kernel is like dumbed down or something it wont play 1080p or even 720p smoothly, I told him teh sensation with a kernel from XDA played 1080p smooth as butter and had good battery life and since this is the same SOC with a higher clock...its should play hd youtube and streamsing video, and i continued on with "and when can we expect some ICS?" so he said we will get it early this year...doesnt mean much though.
he said he will forward all the info (complaints) to the higher ups and hopefully get some of these issues addressed in a patch!

Man, this is great new! THIS is why i like HTC and will continue to buy their devices, not Samsung. They dont treat their consumers like HTC does, or even Sony. Looking forward to ICS though. hopefully it fixes all the issues, abd maybe they will include something to let is turn off the capacitive buttons with a push of a button maybe im hopeing for too much though lol
Hmm.. I just wish they would release the full source and unlock s-off for at least the developers though.
Maybe if they really do care, they will eventually help us all out.
Wow glad I had HTC over samsung...
They called me yesterday too. A month or so ago I had called htc to ask about unlocking the telus bootloader. I was emailed a satisfaction survey and gave them very low marks. They called me yesterday to ask why I was dissatisfied.
I explained about my bootloader woes (now fixed) and complained about their failure to release full source codes (wifi etc) and about the lack of S-OFF. I pointed out that development on the SGII was miles ahead and doubted that I would buy another htc.
I told him about these same complaints on XDA and he said he was familiar with the site. He thanked me for my input but obviously made no commitments of any kind.
Still....it was nice to get a human to follow up on a dissatisfied customer.

With the way the Amaze forum is i really hope HTC has something up their sleeve. they usually do things in the shade kind of like Sony.

I know there have been emails, speculation and all of that jazz.
Here it is however, officially official for anyone/everyone to see.
I'm sure if you call a few customer service reps, you can find one or two that will reignite the speculation. It's too quite in here.
yeah that's it. Does kind of suck. my phone was one of the first to receive an ics update from htc and it is absolutely amazing even with its heavily skinned sense ui. But the downside is its built on 4.03 and before 4.04, ics is so buggy you'd think it was in beta, and battery life has gone to complete hell too, and for the htc vivid, it's probably its first and last update from htc.
Hopefully someone delivers a good ics rom for us.

Lol yeah I don't see a petition doing much good at this point. HTC has decided the cost of giving us an update is more than the cost of loosing our business so they'll just ignore a petition.
Really I don't seen how it could cost them that much though. These is a company that doesn't differentiate from hardware too much and there are several phones that either have ics or are getting it with very similar if not identical hardware. Its not like they have to develop from scratch, really just taking something like the one v rom, optimize it for a tablet, and adding drivers for the front camera is all they'd have to do. 90% of all htc device's if not more have some version of the snapdragon with an adreno gpu so getting us a working ICS update shouldn't take more than a day with the resources they have.

Disappointed in HTC - would have to think long and VERY hard before buying another product from this manufacturer.
yeah it is a nice tablet still. I don't get the marketing and design though. they set it up to fail from day one by releasing it at a high price point that you could get a 10 inch honeycomb tablet for. most people just passed it up and went to the xoom sitting next to it. or just bought an ipad. HTC seems to do this alot, just throw some product out there with some innovative features, but overall make it unappealing to the market (in this case the pen, but remember the Facebook phone?). They really took a knife to a gun fight with the flyer and now they wanna pretend it never existed.

Long term, the phone and tablet market will be a 2 horse race. The SGS and Galaxy tab outsell any HTC phones/tablets and the Apple Iphone/Ipad will continue to dominate (....am I allowed to say that here ?)
Nokia are making massive losses.
RIM in steep decline.
Sony have lost their mojo.
HTC struggled last year but the One range may do them some good - if they don't alienate too many flyer/view owners
Samsung are a bit plasticky.
yeah I'm a former samsung owner, build quality could be worse but they do use too much plastic no doubt

Wouldn't mind so much if HC didn't suck so much on the flyer - performance just seems awful. Ah well think I'm just gonna stick Dexter's ICS/Sense 4 rom on my flyer and live without the pen. At least I'll have the goodness of chrome and it runs much smoother than the official HC release ever did.
I'll have to think carefully about ever buying another HTC device - if I wasn't so happy with my one X I think I'd have turned my back on them by now. Not that they'd care of course.
Well HTC sucks, but not as much as Motorola ( i have the dorid x2) who locks their bootloaders, never unlocks them, never releases the source code and drops support even for currently selling phones only 4 months old. But wait, ain't Motorola part of that funny sounding company ,,,?? starts with a G........ oh, yes, Google. Hummmmmmmm
Oh and BTW, FYI, UBETCHA, I'm reverting to FROYO, which was so less laggy, leggy, jerky, jittery, clucky, clicky, smelly, bed bug ridden ,stinky, crappy, gassy, slimy, limey, and sticky/rickety than GB, HC, ICS, JB and any future or past or other version of Andorid, IOS, WP, SENSE, BB, ET, or NBC.
And speaking of petitions, I'm gonna start a petition to have Apple and Samsung bury HTC in patient infringement litigation to the point for HTC cannot sell a single device , hhahhaahhahooohooohhhoehehehehehee LOL LMAO.

as many of you know, i've been in contact with customer support since launch day of the rezound, reporting any bugs we had, the pink light issue and mainly the bad audio during video recording. iv'e spoken to them over the phone countless times to tell them whats up, and voiced all of our concerns.
a year later, of course there's a few issues with teh DNA, so i dug back up an old ticket and was able to chat with support again, and i was able to get the same guy i spoke with last year. we've been messaging back and forth almost daily about issues and i've got a thread ongoing here where people submit any bugs or suggestions, and i know for a fact HTC is looking at them.
the other day, he asked me for my address along with inviting me to join HTC Elevate. today i got this in the mail. on top of it, i'm sure you all remember how i recently was able to get an HTC rep to my store for the first time since we've opened just by contacting them..the day after i wrote to them, a rep was at my store to show me all the new HTC stuff, and provided free display models and brochures...and a day after that, HTC sent a huge box of stuff to give customers (stands, bracelets, sim card openers, ice scrapers, little things)
so yeah. this is why i deal with HTC. i know they'll listen to me, and i know how much they appreciate our consumer feedback. i've never had a company treat me so well as a customer and with such a level of personal contact.

Can you point to the battery threads you are talking about? I'm getting max 4 hours screen on time, and usually 3.5.
only way to get more would be to turn off data, location, and most other stuff. Kernel is killing the battery on my first unit, and a replacement unit is doing the same.
Thanks.
My One has a modest gap along most of the top, and you can feel the screen jutting out a bit when you swipe down the notification drawer. But I wouldn't have even noticed these issues if it wasn't for the nitpicky bastards on this forum pointing out every tiny imperfection.
I don't have any dead pixels or other problems, so I'm going to ignore the tiny physical defects and keep my phone instead of returning it 50 times only to get one with different or worse issues.
Who's with me? :thumbup:
I'm very satisfied with my phone, but I still might check back into ATT on day 10 or so to see if new stock is improved.
I have small gaps on top and bottom and screen overhang on my top left corner. It's still the most finely crafted phone I have ever owned.
I think the gap issue is way over blown by the OCD nerds on XDA. I'm sure my phone has flaws but I keep it in its case and I don't spend time just staring at it.

I have the common very slight gap on the top, but I'm keeping my One. There's no use exchanging the phone and maybe getting a worse unit in return. I don't even notice it if I'm not specifically looking for it. My One is in a case, anyway. I've been an iPhone owner for years and I get tired of this "OCD" crap and "I've exchanged my phone fourteen times" every time a phone is released.
Definitely will be returning due to gap gate and the top of the screen sticking out. Will probably wait until the end of the period to see if new stock arrives with fixes to these issues.

That's insulting to someone who really (painfully) suffers from OCD.. Hint.
I have two very small gaps, the screen is recessed at the bottom, and is raised at the top. All very minor. No dead pixels. But I do have a very small piece of some sort of fiber behind the screen. Can't see it during normal use because it is located where the battery indicator / time is located. However, it is clearly noticeable when I turn the screen sideways.
I wish there was some sort of way to move it out. Probably going to exchange it.

Of all the hundreds of posts and reviews I'd read and many HTC's viewed pre-release, this issue was rarely mentioned. It's a mature piece and very well done..actually top of the bunch IMO.

I put that guy on my block list a while back.. The only reason I see what he wrote was because you quoted him..
He has issues!
Report his offensive post, block him and enjoy the phone!
"Gap Gate" isn't a big enough issue to warrant taking my phone back, I think. Certainly not the metal, anyway. The screen overhang is annoying to me (when I notice it - which is almost never in typical usage), but I think I can handle it.
The only thing making me consider returning my phone during the 14-day window is the option to get the developer edition instead. Knowing damn well that AT&T will screw us with updates leaves a very bitter taste in my mouth. I haven't done it yet in the event that the latest software update for the International ROM is for stuff that's already included in the AT&T version, but I'm quite tempted. The fact that international ROMs will work on the AT&T model is the other thing that's holding me back. I just don't want to get into the business of flashing such and such an update all the time if I don't have to. I'm almost certainly going to be staying on a stock ROM of some sort, if only to keep camera functionality (my One XL is using a stock-based ROM right now for just this reason -- the camera is important to me).
Just received my phone today from att.com, it's perfect.

I checked my ONE out after seeing pictures about this issue. I have zero issues with my HTC ONE build. My device looks and is working how its supposed to. I will be keeping mine.

This thread doesn't do anything but rile people up. It's no different than a "see ya suckers, I'm leaving!" thread.

The purpose is to create a thread where people say they ARE staying and that all the talk of gap gate is limited to a few perfectionists who can't deal with even the slightest "defect."

Except that it's yet another thread with "gap gate" in the title. It's not a conspiracy! Do you really think HTC is doing it on purpose? Need to let that term die.
Hey, how come Andrew gets to get up? If he gets up, we'll all get up, it'll be anarchy!
I keep going back and forth on this. I have a small gap on the top and virtually no gap on the bottom. I also have a small nick in the aluminum between the bottom speaker and the screen, right on the corner. I have an overhang on the top and the bottom too. I'm worried if I go exchange it, I'm going to end up with something worse, or with dead pixels or something.
Part of me wants to exchange it and get a developer edition as I think the build quality is overall better on those. Part of me wants to just forget the very minor defects I have and keep it. I only have 2 more days to make my decision though as my 14 days will be up. It's such a great phone overall though.
