I'm getting my phone replaced and I have a choice of colors. I just want to know what color you picked and why.
Resale, feel, camera?
Help me make a good decision!

I went with red because it was different. That was basically my only reasoning. It does look good though! Took a little getting used to cause I've always stuck with your basic colors.

What do y'all think? Let's have a contest to see who can design the best looking color scheme. It's obviously a lot of personal preference, but I think I'm kind of digging the black/white scheme...
Frame = White
Back = Black
Bottom = Black
Camera = Either White or Ferrari Red
LINK HERE
how do you install that?
edit: nevermind. no way i'm sending in my phone, waiting for them to receive it, waiting another 3 weeks for it back.
Maybe, if they can clean out the dust under my screen.
a little professional spray paint and prep and you can do this for a lot less than sending it in.
I plan on painting mine completely black.

This is amazing. wow.
lmfao at $800 for a brand new one! and good luck dealing with warranty issues through them.
Would love to have an all matte black nexus, but how is someone supposed to last without their phone for 3 weeks. By the way did anyone notice that rush delivery which still takes a week is an additional $500. That is just insane.

I really want to get this done but the 3 weeks would be tough, not to mention the $200. I do still have my sweet sweet ADP1 (G1) to use for those three weeks but going back to the G1 after using the N1 is pretty tough.
That is one of the biggest issues with Colorware IMHO, I could almost get myself to pay their crazy prices as they really do amazing, high quality work but the turnaround time is just out of control.
At this point it seems that they are just catering to the part of the market that has the money to either buy right from them or just buy a second device to send in.
Black and White FTW!
Has any one actually been brave enough to order this yet?
I'd love to hear/read some opinions on this.
A lot of blackberry users have used them and have nothing but good things to say about their work. Basically you pay for the quality and it's worth it...
Oops, let me rephrase that
Has any one with a Nexus One actually been brave enough to order this yet?
I'd love to hear/read some opinions on this.
Since many of us spent the full $500+ on our phones, shipping it off and waiting a few weeks to very it backs, seems a little scary, that's all.
I would say there isn't anything to be afraid of. This is a very reputable company that has been around for quite some time. I think anyone would be safe sending their phone to them...
I think I'm going to send my phone in soon. I can handle playing with my G1 for 3 weeks. I just can't decide what color to get. Maybe just all matte black or all matte white. I'm just worried the all white will look to Apple-y.

I like the all matte black look, but all matte black and a color on the camera looks kind of cool too.
Update us on how long it really takes to get your phone back, when I sent in an ipod a few years ago I am pretty sure it only took about a week and a half from the time they got it to the time they shipped it back.
Wish i could just buy the case ... i would put it on myself . i should have all the tools... i cant believe they dont offer that
Definitely tempting. I almost wish i had some huge scratch or something that would justify me purchasing it.

Is there any way to change the color calibration on the display? I want to raise the blue levels because I'm a bigger fan of a cool color tone and the whites on the g2x are more than an off white. (compared to my mt4g with good lcd where whites are bright white)
I have heard about the color calibration hack for the nexus one but I don't know if it'll work on the leaded gingerbread ROM from paul o'brien
If you don't know what I'm talking about go to the color settings on your computer monitor or tv and change from "cool" to "normal". The g2x is more like the normal setting while i like the cool setting better.
I posted a link already. There is a calibration tool in the Nexus One forums that you can use. I don't think the G2x needs it though. Mine looks natural.

I'm fine with all the colors except for white, I'm a bigger fan of a more bluish white like on the iphone.
I'll give the nexus one thing a try but i think a bunch of people who tried it on the g2x it force closed. Not sure about the leaked gb rom though so I'll try it and report back
the flash aborted because it says amend scripting is no longer supported since android 1.5?
I also tried installing both apk's and they both force close when I try to do anything
pretty sure you have to be on cm7 for it to work
Is it just my specific device or are the whites on this phone not really true white but more like off-white? If u compare it to the mytouch 4g with good lcd there's a big difference. Although this device does have truer blacks.

Every LCD is different. Even if the phones are the same model. Mine has a bit of a red tint when showing white but its only noticeable if I look at it next to my Vibrant.

I know different phones have different color tones but I just wanted to know if it was just my device where whites weren't true white because some people have been talking about a yellow or orange tint. I'm expecting a replacement phone to arrive next week so I guess I'll do a comparison when it arrives.
Looks fine to me, but really I'm all about resolution. Colors can vary and sounds can be medium quality and I probably won't notice a difference.

Meaning if you took a number of G2x and put them side by side none of them would be completely identical. So its not just you that has a slightly off screen.

Well thats why I want to change the color settings because the high levels of red in the whites are really bothering me.

It's all personal preference. I don't like bright, flashy phones so I always opt for black. I think they just look cooler and more techy.
White. It looks like it wouldn't be nice. But in person. It'd the best damn white phone I've ever owned
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
I love my red one, it IS a bright red tho, especially when its in the sunlight. Black and red are my colors and this phone is a sexy blend of them i think lol. I've already got a lot of compliments on it. They're probably going to be a lot harder to get though I would imagine. Whites are in stock almost all the time, blacks sometimes out of stock, red is very new so hardly in stock at all still. I really lucked out when i got mine.

Well there's your answer OP. "What color is best?" is always subjective. Internally they are the same. Pick the one that suits you.
Hello everyone,
I''m new here but have been reading up at this site for quite a while.
From tomorrow onwards both these devices will be available for exactly same price in India.
Reasons I'm inclining towards U11 are :-
1. Had a below average experience with G6.
2. Never ever used a HTC device.
3. Really dont care for on the screen navigation keys. ( So dont really wanna wait for U11+ or any other 18:9 design. )
NOW my question to you is if some one could just tell me that U11 has a decent to good battery life. That would make me confident in my decision.
Please set aside your love/hatred for HTC/LG and help a newbie out.
Thanks

Regardless of what I say, it really sounds like you made up your mind before coming here. Regardless, check out the Battery Life Thread that is running in the discussions section. You may be surprised.
Long explanation short...we are all happy with our devices. The biggest gripe would be from those who are still waiting on Oreo. That's about it.
Edit: Battery Life Thread link below. I felt generous.

I'm gonna order a U11 for myself tonight after office.
Just one more help...
Out of Blue, Silver and Red, which one looks best out in real life. As pics on screen don't do justice.
Thanks.
Black one is out of stock.

But fear it might look a little girly after my initial ' love phase with new phone ' wears off...
???
I also hesitated between solar red and amazing silver and in the end picked up amazing silver. Solar red is cool but i worried that after some time it might bored me as it is very catchy. Amazing silver looks really cool and keeps "neutrality" in the same time.
Hope that you get what i mean
there is no solar red for the u11+ in fact the phone has a sort of "fake" release as its virtually impossible to buy it in many places even main EMEA markets in which it was announced

Hi...
I heard that the red version has a gap along the edges at the back... Where the back glass does not merge properly with the metal and dust settles there...
Is that common in all solar red ones or some defective units.
What about your phone?
Thanks

One final question ( it's taken this long as all three colors other than red had been out of stock for my PIN code, now they're available)...
How are the security updates by HTC?
Do they leave you waiting all the time.
Heard they've given just one security update since June.
Thanks
There were 3 since June.
Hurrahhh.... Ordered it right now for Rs 45000 on Flipkart sale.
Saphire Blue color.
Any good tempered glass screen protector for it in India?
Cheers
Hello guys,
I am seeing a yellowish tint on the bottom left on my screen, but only on some grey background. I'm still on the 15 days returning window so I am thinking of sending my phone back.
Anyone with the same issue? Should I ask for a refund and purchase back a new phone or ask for an exchange?
Thanks.

Like any oled screen. It's a lottery what the colour shift, evenness. If you notice it you should exchange it. It will annoy you to no end
Yea it happens, u could exchange it but whos to say itll be worse or better? Maybe the device will have another defect thats major. Who knows of its really annoying u go for the exchange and pray.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A6003 using Tapatalk
My color shifts a little when grey (I guess like yours) but I feel like it will look like this no matter how many times I exchange it. Still looks good IMO. Just suck a large screen so different angles may shift.
Cause the screen is so tall your always looking at parts of the screen at different angles
