UPDATE: Unfortunately the HOTFIX doesn’t “fix” the issue when capturing videos with the device, only the pictures…Come on HTC, you can do better than this!
The problem is only half corrected by HTC. It remains a noticeable pink spot.
Hope HTC is doing better than this.
Yes, hopefully HTC will keep working on this.
I am certain its a hardware issue. HTC did admit at frist it was a hardware issue and then retracted on their words because they knew it will create huge problem from a selling point of view. Such an expensive phone with such a big flaw. Plus if they are only able to make it just a little better (from the pics above) through software update, thats no good.
