Slight color shift when tapping screen?

I noticed when browsing the XDA forum via web browser, that when I tap the screen and hold, there is ever a slight shift in color tones. When I let go the color returns to normal. (I'm sure its on other sites as well that aren't on a white background). Has anyone else noticed this?
You can test by browsing XDA, going into a post, zooming in, and tap and hold around someone's avatar. Usually the icons around the avatar will become more pronounced when tapping, and look at the color of the background.
This might be a normal thing, but would love for someone else to test it and report back on it via their Sensation.
Last thing I want to do is bring this one back and swap.

I noticed it when I was choosing apps from my home screen.

Do you notice it browsing XDA? But not via the XDA app. Tapping and letting go?

i noticed it on the browser too on xda site, not tired any other site. but i think it could be software, maybe hardware but most likely software, anyone else got anything on this?

I just noticed also on the stock News app. White background, but when scrolling background turns just slightly pink. When done scrolling background goes back to white. Could be the app, but would appreciate if anyone could try that as well!

Yeah I noticed it on the xda app

I would upload a pic,but shootme won't work for obvious reasons. Is there any other app I could use that doesn't require root?

Okay I just downloaded XDA premium and XDA free on both devices and checked many other apps and the browser on both mine and my wifes sensation and here is what I found,I was able to replicate the issue on both phones only in the XDA premium app
And I did NOT find this to be an issue and could NOT replicate it in any app nor the browser and also not in the XDA free app.Cheers

You could use the android sdk but I don't know how to use it.

Unfortunately the answer is no. Unless you have ADW or LAUNCHERPRO.

Ya don't quite understand this..
Anyways just so you know on the new 3.5 roms (if you are at that stage yet) have the ability to reduce home screens.
But for now you kinda have to try and fill 7 screens... Good luck lol, I have a hard time with that

Homescreen issues

This happens often. When i use a app and hit home button or arrow to return to homescreen it loads for like 30 sec before i can get back to homescreen . Any suggestions. I'm thinking its the clock widget.

Found solution its from a clear theme someone made. I deleted now back to normal.

Lock rotation in sideways position?

I have this setup where I use a magnifying
glass to make a projector for my screen. I turn the phone on its side to make videos full screen.the projected image is upside down so I flip the phone over to compromise.but when I do that, the screen flips it self so its right side up and the projected image is upside down again.is there a way to lock it on a sideways position

Turn your phone sideways and pay attention to the middle of the screen. There will be a button that pops up that says lock orientation
Or you can deselect auto rotation and manually change orientation to sideways
Either one of those options would work for you

The button I was speaking about was is on web browsing sorry boss. I don't kno any way to Do that on video player. I know seconday players like "my player" have features to lock the screen while playing. You might want to surf tghe market for something like that. You never know what you might find.
Seems like its just something so simple but just got over looked.
Ps. Some videos will not turn right side up... Hmmmm interesting.

you would have to modify the framework.jar file

Would you take back a phone for this reason

I just got my replacement sensation 4g and it is like 2 little dots of light that like idk seep through the screen. Its really not on the screen thqt you touch its on the bottom left corner next to the home button. It is kind of annoying when I take my case off and see them but maybe I will get used to it idk. Would you take yours back for this? I also am having my htc sense keep crashing and my phone randomly reboot itself. On T-Mobile chat they say it is an app causing this and not the phone because they fixed that problem with the last update and want me to delete some apps off my phone to see which app is causing it. Anybody else having those issues?

Bottom line, if you aren't happy and able to exchange it, then yes I would.

Its not on the touch part of the screen. Its on the outer black rim to the edge next to the home button.

Try this: in a (very) well lit room, place the phone in front of a mirror and take a pic with the front cam...

I tried and I couldn't see it. I think you can only see it in the dark when its light I couldn't even see it (this is the first day I used my phone without a case with the case on I couldn't see it). But its still kind of annoying. Maybe I'm just being anal.
