Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread Update Leaves Nexus S Screen Discolored

Seems like providing smooth software updates is not that easy as it may look! First, Microsoft faced hitches with it "pre-update"update and now we have Google facing snags with its new Android 2.3.3 updates. Some users of Google Nexus S are complaining that the update has left their display all washed out.

Although, Microsoft claimed that only 10 percent of the handsets faced problem with the update, Google's problem looks to be of bigger intensity. Several threads related to this problem have cropped up and the company has provided an official explanation.

"With your new OTA complete, you may notice a slight difference in the way colors are displayed on your Nexus S. For Nexus S, we have adjusted the color temperature settings to more accurately reflect darker colors at all brightness levels. The Gingerbread UI being darker, we found that the colors were not as accurate when the device was being used at lower brightness levels. For example, some users reported that the initial color temperature was too high leading to some darker grays having a reddish tone; with the new color temperature this is no longer the case."

Looks like, Google won't be providing any update for restoring the color palette.
