Anyone else noticing a pink circle in the center of their photos and video? I took a picture of my wall.
I found a thread in the Desire HD forum that someone else was experiencing the same. hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11425704#post11425704
Seems like the HD2 and HD7 also had similar issues with their camera. The HD2s issue was resolved with a software update. Not sure about the HD7.
Here's the only shot I have taken with mine so far. I don't see a pinkish circle. But then again, I am not exactly a color fiend.
It's only really noticeable on white backgrounds. But now that I know it's there, I can see it in every picture that I've taken.

Just tested it on my white wall and did notice it, but its nothing too major to complain about you dont notice it any pictures with color in it
Yeah, I'm starting to think its not that big of a deal.

It is, it is behind the Ft. Worth PD parking garage that I park in, facing the Trinity River. I've not waled down there yet to see what is going on with it. I think it may be an old jail, based on the construction.
I don't have the pink... but I have to admit the pictures don't come out very well at all. They seem really yellowy. I am taking pictures side-by-side with the wife's iphone 4 indoors at night and the pictures are very yellow. Horrible really. Anyone else seeing issues with this camera? One would think it would be better.
If you have questions about the AT&T version post here and I'll try to answer.
First few observations:
Lightning fast, there is no hesitation doing any action. It's a bit surreal coming from a Captivate.
Camera is awesome.
Thin, light, but solid build, looks good and doesn't feel cheap.
You can't turn off LTE. If you go into Settings -> Mobile Network, there is no option for "Preffered Network Mode" like on the Galaxy Nexus or Rogers HTC One X. Really hoping to get this fixed via OTA or custom ROM as there is no LTE anywhere near me.
Stock browser doesn't have a dedicated "tabs" button. You have to press menu to get to your tabs. Kind of annoying, not sure if that is just an HTC thing or if this is the first phone like that. I'm just going to start using Chrome since it has a tabs button.
Sense 4.0 is nice, it's not obtrusive and actually improves on the stock ICS experience instead of replacing it altogether. I love the WebOS style recent apps list. It really looks nice.
I read some people saying they were seeing some yellow wash out on some screens, and I think mine is OK, but certain apps, particularly games do have a yellow tint to them, but stuff like the homescreen and google maps look great. Temple Run has a pretty clear yellow tint to it when compared with a Galaxy Nexus running Temple Run. Not sure what to make of this. Maybe something else that can be fixed in an OTA.

They only had one in the box and I got it. It is a freestanding ATT store in a relatively small town outside Atlanta. The salespeople there are commission based, so he had motivation to sell it to me. First thing I even said to him was "You can't sell it to me today though, can you?" He said he could, so I had him ring it up. I just kept waiting for the bomb to drop that his system wouldn't let him or something.

It was probably what he was supposed to use as a display...lucky dawg! I have already called around to the stores around me and only one said that they had a few but cant sell them until the 6th. The sales guy told me to order it online and that some folks might get them early...the 4th.

Find a commission based salesperson at a po-dunk ATT store that doesn't really pay attention to the ATT corporate materials.

What town in Atlanta? I will cancel my pre-order and drive over there imminently lol.
Although they probably wouldn't sell it to me since I'm buying for full retail and they probably wouldn't really make any money off me that way.
lucky bastard lol jk
i was using the stock browser on my GNex but have since started to love Chrome Beta. it's awesome and what i'll use from now on.
thanks for the first impressions!
Upon further inspection and comparing my One X with my Captivate, I believe that I do have one of the screens that has the yellow tint to it. Google maps looks fine when viewed on it's own, but when you hold it side by side with another phone you can tell that the colors are a little off. They are nice and bright, but just not the same hue as my captivate. Pulling up the same web pages the difference is pretty clear anywhere there is green or yellow. Blues don't seem to be affected very much if at all.

I could be wrong, but not sure comparing to the Captivate would be the best way to tell if your whites are tinted. Do the whites on the Captivate's Amoled screen have a blue tint? Been a while since I had one, but I recently had purchased a Note (returned and waiting for the One X) and the whites had a very noticeable blue tint to them.

My Captivate always ran cool, so it had a blueish tint to it.
You can always do the screen test app and see just how white your whites are, or if they're yellow.

Which screen test app?
How would I know how white the whites are? Is there some standard to compare it to?
No problems on mine, all my colors looked true testing with screen test app.
So I called into about a million AT&T stores to see whether any of them had the HOX in stock, and I was able to get one employee to reveal that they did! The problem now though is that he's not willing at all to sell it to me...
Is anybody here an ex-AT&T employee or knows the ins and outs of the company policies and would be able to help me procure my HOX early?

Well since someone posted on Engadget with picture to verify that they were sold the One X early I doubt you will find anyone willing to sell you it early. Best bet is to pre-order and it will come May 4. AT&T can't be happy about it.
Can you pull the notification bar down from the lockscreen like in stock ICS?
This phone has one of the best cameras on the market, let's show it off!
This picture was taken in near pure darkness, just some light off to the right.

was this picture taking with default settings? aka not manually adjusting settings.
haven't started really messing with RAW editing yet. this was a random shot before I even knew how to use the thing....
Long story short, but this thing calls for some details to make a better description of it.
I took a bike ride today – placed my N10+ in a small, soft fabric bag and put it into my bike's side bag, set my music on, BT with over_the_neck headphones and there I went. Totally unaware of any phone problems, no BT interruptions until I came to a spot where I wanted to try camera and pulled it out.
Turned it on and... a horror, the screen looked totally dark with a deep shade of bloody purple and when looked at different angles it was showing a gold, and green etc glowing shades as if the back of the phone was applied on the front screen. Very dark, I couldn't see much at all, barely recognizing the fonts.
I checked the settings, the screen was still set to adaptable brightness(and it was @ max), accidental touch was on and there was nothing I could do. Was trying to find any RGB settings in Dev. Options – nothing there. And, mind you, the screen dark as hell, squinting my eyes to see any details on the screen. Did reset, twice – still nothing, shut it off and headed home. Factory reset was number one on my mind, but before that, I set my tripod at home to record the screen behavior after turning it on... and..., the reboot was normal, everything looks normal now.
But I'm left with a burning question: WTF was thaaat???
Have you ever heard about OLED/AMOLED screens doing that? Is it a known, fixable problem?
Been using this phone for two days. Now am gonna have to spent hours with their Customer Service that sucks..

Thanks for 'heads up' no, my problem was different, the entire screen opacity went totally dark with very intense colors of purple, burgundy red etc, then in different angles: yellow, silver but very ghostly looking and highly polarized. The display to read from was still there underneath of it, but almost impossible to see, like there was a heavy paint splashed over it. Too bad I couldn't take a pic of that. It will probably happen again, these things usually get worse with time.

:laugh::laugh::laugh:Just got back home and am reading your posts guys and started laughing crazy, yes, these f glasses! And now I can reproduce that "major screen failure" at will - with the glasses. I bought those cheap sunglasses (zzTop) yesterday and just for the bike ridding because they're big to protect my eyes from bug swarms and not for regular use so I had no idea. That was the first time that I saw the display with those glasses. A 'major failure' of my own. I'm still laughing it's funny. Thanks again guys!

I have searched the internet for examples of Astrophotography with the Google Pixel 4/4XL and couldn't find any other than what Google has put out. So, I recently went to the closest International Dark Sky Reserve in my area and captured these photos.
Am I the only person interested in this feature? ?
No, you're not alone I too have been playing with this. I just got my tripod mount and live in the country. I haven't had time to get some shots like yours, very good!
Those are amazing. I might try it now. Have you tried with any human subjects in the photo? Would it even come out at all?

The picture I took was the November full moon.
It certainly a great feature, but it is also pretty niche.
First, you have to have a tripod or other way to hold the phone steady. This isn't that difficult to figure out, but it also means that all the people that simply rush outside to try it the first time are going to get crappy results if they try to hand hold it.
Second, having access to a dark environment away from light pollution is very helpful. Unfortunately, the vast majority of us live where light pollution is a real problem. Even the smallest towns have so many lights that it prevents these dramatic pictures from being taken. The images I have been able to take are "meh" at best. Impressive technologically, but meh photographically......

It's a great feature, but it's simply not viable for most people due to the excessive light pollution from most cities. I had to drive 1.5 hours away from home just to take my shots: https://www.xda-developers.com/google-pixel-4-camera-review/

As does anyone attempting to photograph the stars. On a side note, my city is changing out the lighting here to improve star visibility. It has been working. I took this in my backyard. I used Photoshop Express "Vibrant" filter and this is it. All Astrophotography has post processing.
Can you see Orion? ?

Yes, but that's the problem: Most people won't want to go that far just to take photos of the stars. They might do it during the occasional vacation, though. Since there aren't that many people taking Astro shots, the feature won't get talked about that much.

Have you tried with a regular camera? If so, can you still capture even with the light pollution?
I drove an hour and a half to get these photos. I had to do research to find the location, e.g. Light Pollution Map app, local Dark Sky Reserve, and opportunity to access it.
I want to get the Milky Way. I'll have to buy the Photopills app and plan for that shot months in advance. I already know where I want to get the shot, otherwise I would have to plan that too.
It takes planning to get these shots. ?

It's about on par with the dedicated CCD cameras on tracking tripods about 20 years ago, and they cost 000s and needed dedicated software and hours of processing.

Loving the first one, great image, you have a flair for this and composition.
Is that a lens flare in the third one? And the bright object bottom left a planet? Venus, Saturn and Jupiter set late afternoon, early evening and like you it's dark by 4:30 - 5, so Saturn?
I remember now we had a Saturn+Moon conjunction. Nice one.

I think it was a plane but usually those usually give big light trails. Managed to get a light trail from the space station a few weeks ago so surprising what you can see.
Not sure about the planets as I'm still working out where they all are.
Managed to get Andromeda galaxy tonight (right hand side of photo) but not as much detail as I hoped cause the moon's out again.
