Ry Guy, please let me know ? | jonathan3579 | 2/24/11 6:32 PM | For me, the icons are larger thus looking more pixelated as well as off screen colors. On the bright side, no data or reboot issues.

| Re: I just updated Nexus S to Android 2.3.3 and, now I the colors looks muted and washed out. Ry Guy, please let me know ? | jasondclinton | 2/24/11 7:15 PM | One more thing: I noticed that the "auto" brightness now skews closer to dim than it did before which is a huge help because "auto" never got dim enough to keep the NS from blinding me in the dark. So, I think perhaps you guys are complaining about a |

Ry Guy, please let me know ? | Anthony44 | 2/24/11 7:19 PM | @jason I didn't update yet but I must agree with you. I thought the auto dim was still too bright.

Ry Guy, please let me know ? | jalyn2002 | 2/24/11 7:36 PM | It's not about auto dim/mod, it's not looking good bright or dim.

The 2.3.3 update has messed up the color saturation and contrast on everyone's Nexus S screens, don't you test these updates before you send them out? Your lack of attention to detail is sad. This issue need to be fixed immediately! |

Ry Guy, please let me know ? | Steven RM | 2/24/11 8:23 PM | I'm glad I found this thread before I manually updated to 2.3.3 (which is possible, for the impatient).

| Re: I just updated Nexus S to Android 2.3.3 and, now I the colors looks muted and washed out. Ry Guy, please let me know ? | jalyn2002 | 2/25/11 3:22 PM | Maybe the reboot issue is because of the UI? because I don't see any other reason to change the colors of the display. |

Ry Guy, please let me know ? | Packetknife | 2/25/11 5:29 PM | I'm finding this change quite unpleasant. Were there different batches of screen?

Ry Guy, please let me know ? | jalyn2002 | 3/6/11 2:33 AM | @Paladin_Andrei, I do think that Google's working on a better color for the Nexus S, but if only they would let us know if they are, because of people like you, and many of other people who are holding out on this update because of this color issue. |

I hope it was pulled so it can be fixed. The problem we have is communication a basic skill all companies should master.

Ry Guy, please let me know ? | maxib | 3/6/11 11:24 AM | @Anthony44, I have to say I had no issues before the OTA. Never had a dropped call, reboot or data/connection issues.

Ry Guy, please let me know ? | Colourfielding | 3/6/11 2:24 PM | With the lack of response from Google maybe it's time to take this to other platforms as well.

Ry Guy, please let me know ? | Jeff Petersen | 3/15/11 1:41 PM | I think the color looks much better after the update, it was way too hyped originally.

Ry Guy, please let me know ? | BPM1974 | 5/19/11 8:08 AM | I've decided against the nexus s for this problem alone. No matter what google says, that screen looks horrible. Pretty disappointing too because I would have loved this phone otherwise. I'm with fido so I don't have many options. iPhone it is I gues |
| Re: I just updated Nexus S to Android 2.3.3 and, now I the colors looks muted and washed out. Ry Guy, please let me know ? | maxib | 5/19/11 11:02 AM | Regarding that security issue, what about the 2.3.2 users? Will they be forced to update to 2.3.4 to get that update and inherit the shitty colours? |
| Re: I just updated Nexus S to Android 2.3.3 and, now I the colors looks muted and washed out. Ry Guy, please let me know ? | mola2010 | 5/19/11 7:01 PM | I bought 2 new Nexus S phones that came with 2.3.3. One received OTA update upon start up, the other has yet to get it. I took some pictures showing the color differences and posted them below. Although these photos really don't really show the di |
| Re: I just updated Nexus S to Android 2.3.3 and, now I the colors looks muted and washed out. Ry Guy, please let me know ? | whereisthecare | 5/21/11 12:52 AM | I'm afraid to upgrade to 2.3.4 now. Why not complain to Samsung or best buy? Google doesn't seem to care. |
| Re: I just updated Nexus S to Android 2.3.3 and, now I the colors looks muted and washed out. Ry Guy, please let me know ? | jalyn2002 | 5/21/11 9:43 PM | I needed a tablet device for on the go, and I was just in best buy. I looked at the Ipad 2 and looked at the Motorola Xoom so, I have to say that the Xoom was a bigger bang for the bucks and the Ipad 2 had less hardware for the price. So I went wit |
| Re: I just updated Nexus S to Android 2.3.3 and, now I the colors looks muted and washed out. Ry Guy, please let me know ? | KKTK12 | 5/23/11 9:53 AM | I think we are past the point of doing much about it on these forums. Its been Google's stance that their eyes are better than most of ours. Colors are better now according to them. It sucks---now we wait for a new phone to purchase and sell this on |
| Re: I just updated Nexus S to Android 2.3.3 and, now I the colors looks muted and washed out. Ry Guy, please let me know ? | Anthony44 | 5/23/11 9:57 AM | To add to that stay away from super smiled because what's stopping them from doing this again. |

| Re: I just updated Nexus S to Android 2.3.3 and, now I the colors looks muted and washed out. Ry Guy, please let me know ? | converter42 | 5/23/11 10:57 AM | Since AT&T is buying T-Mo I'll probably just wait for the opportunity to replace all my Android phones with iPhones. I'm done fighting with Google to get a phone with a display that doesn't look like a Treo 600. |
| Re: I just updated Nexus S to Android 2.3.3 and, now I the colors looks muted and washed out. Ry Guy, please let me know ? | Twincam1998 | 5/25/11 12:41 PM | updated to 2.3.3..no issues at all. |
| Re: I just updated Nexus S to Android 2.3.3 and, now I the colors looks muted and washed out. Ry Guy, please let me know ? | maxib | 5/26/11 10:44 AM | Yeah, not letting this fall off the front page. Google buyers beware!! |

Ry Guy, please let me know ? | maxib | 5/29/11 3:33 PM | Wow, well congratulations Google - looks like your plan to ignore your customers has worked. Two days and no activity on this thread. Just what you wanted eh? Ignore until people just get worn down. Well, you may have won on that one, we can't keep w |
| Re: I just updated Nexus S to Android 2.3.3 and, now I the colors looks muted and washed out. Ry Guy, please let me know ? | jalyn2002 | 5/30/11 2:33 AM | I love my Ipad 2. Iphone 5 here I come. People I tell you this, Google Android will let you all down but Apple will help you up! |
| Re: I just updated Nexus S to Android 2.3.3 and, now I the colors looks muted and washed out. Ry Guy, please let me know ? | jalyn2002 | 5/30/11 2:41 AM | Wow!...LMAO...The Motorola Xoom has 40 apps, and the Ipad 2 has over 65,000 apps. That just gotta hurt huh Google? well Google you need us people; or should I say lab rats? why would Google send poor little Rye Guy to lie to us...Lol And I'm not p |

| Re: I just updated Nexus S to Android 2.3.3 and, now I the colors looks muted and washed out. Ry Guy, please let me know ? | JPH3 | 5/30/11 10:00 AM | Set up my sister's Thunderbolt yesterday. After playing with that monster for a few hours, going back to my NS was depressing. Flimsy toy plastic, and the ever present washed out, yellow-green, blurry screen. Even more pronounced after using a norma |
| Re: I just updated Nexus S to Android 2.3.3 and, now I the colors looks muted and washed out. Ry Guy, please let me know ? | maxib | 5/30/11 4:02 PM | It's sad, today I compared my phone with my cousin's iphone4 again. Oh dear. Put my wife's 2.3.2 next to it and even my iphone loving cousin's jaw dropped - immediately obvious that the nexus was far more vibrant and sharp. Google, we don't even want |

| Re: I just updated Nexus S to Android 2.3.3 and, now I the colors looks muted and washed out. Ry Guy, please let me know ? | JPH3 | 6/7/11 6:53 AM | I talked my buddy out of a Nexus S by mentioning a few serious bugs and of course the recent color change fiasco by pointing him here so he could read for himself the way Google handled the situation. We met today for lunch and we compared his G2X t |
| Re: I just updated Nexus S to Android 2.3.3 and, now I the colors looks muted and washed out. Ry Guy, please let me know ? | WORMSS | 6/7/11 11:43 AM | I dont care what reason you have for changing the Colour temp to "display more accurately"... I dont want accurate colours if it looks that crap.. I want Inaccurate and nice looking. like 2.3.2 |
| Re: I just updated Nexus S to Android 2.3.3 and, now I the colors looks muted and washed out. Ry Guy, please let me know ? | JPH3 | 6/13/11 10:52 AM | Bump. Unresolved. |
| Re: I just updated Nexus S to Android 2.3.3 and, now I the colors looks muted and washed out. Ry Guy, please let me know ? | DaveDodd | 6/13/11 11:39 AM | Double Bump! The ignore them and hope they go away approach isn't what we expect from a company like Google...you need to step up! |
| Re: I just updated Nexus S to Android 2.3.3 and, now I the colors looks muted and washed out. Ry Guy, please let me know ? | maxib | 6/13/11 1:58 PM | And triple bump. The ignore them and hope (know) they'll go away is precisely Google's gameplan. Talk will move away from nexus s now and move over to the newer phones, NS2 etc. So much for enjoying the benefits of owning the flagship - six months of |

Ry Guy, please let me know ? | Hopeformanana | 6/15/11 4:42 PM | Everyone...there is only one way out of this screen color mess: ROOT your phone. Takes 15 mins.

Ry Guy, please let me know ? | leovinci | 6/16/11 12:26 AM | @hopeformanana: the problem is that there are many people that are afraid of doing this and not as tech-epxerienced as others. is there anygood blog or forum that explains the rooting step by step without getting too much into technical details or |
| Re: I just updated Nexus S to Android 2.3.3 and, now I the colors looks muted and washed out. Ry Guy, please let me know ? | hoopdoop | 6/16/11 6:40 AM | It's simple: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Nexus_S:_Full_Update_Guide http://cyanogenmod.com Also you don't need the voodoo kernel if you are installing cyanogenmod I'm pretty sure, as the colors aren't screwed in it. Also the voodoo kernel col |
| Re: I just updated Nexus S to Android 2.3.3 and, now I the colors looks muted and washed out. Ry Guy, please let me know ? | maxib | 6/16/11 9:39 AM | @Hoopdoop - Thanks for those links, will look into them. I heard, though, that the voodoo kernel thing which unleashes the amazing sound and allows the colour temperature to be changed also knocks out Bluetooth. I'd really need bluetooth for the car. |
| Re: I just updated Nexus S to Android 2.3.3 and, now I the colors looks muted and washed out. Ry Guy, please let me know ? | hoopdoop | 6/16/11 9:49 AM | @maxib: I don't believe there's any reason to use the voodoo kernel with cyanogenmod. cyanogenmod has a graphic equalizer for sound and also already converts the root filesystem to ext3 I think. I'd imagine that bluetooth works perfectly fine also |
| Re: I just updated Nexus S to Android 2.3.3 and, now I the colors looks muted and washed out. Ry Guy, please let me know ? | maxib | 6/16/11 10:32 AM | OK and the colours are back to 2.3.2 colours without having to do anything else? |
