Just exchanged the Cyan for the white one and I have purplelish hue keyboard and on any white screen It's only when it's on Auto Brightness or Manual Low. If I set it to medium it looks great! This is my fourth windows phone device and never have I seen this hue before. Seems like it could be fixed with a software update.

I also exchanged my cyan for a white and just started noticing this problem when I got home and in dim light. Its pretty annoying and I was hoping an isolated hardware fault so that I could exchange it. Now I'm not so sure

Kind of sucks but I can live with it. Anyone else notice a little light leak on the lower left and rjght hand corners of the phone when the soft keys illuminate? That is actually starting to bug me.

Sent from my Lumia 900 using Board Express

have the same issue but haven't noticed it until I read the forum. Doesn't bug me at all. The only thing annoys me is the rattle. Gonna exchange it in 3 weeks so hopefully this issues will get fixed by then.

I was helping out a friend today with her new cyan Lumia and it was behaving as expected - then we/I updated the firmware and then the keyboard went to purple.

Like everyone else has mentioned, it only happens on auto it low.

I also have the a Lumia 900 and it does not exhibit the same purple hue.

I tested them side by side. :-/

I also experienced this issue on my cyan lumia and others have also. Its becoming more common it seems with the newer and newer phones. My original cyan lumia didn't have the purple hue. But my replacement and two other replacements did. I suggest we contact Nokia and inform them of the problem. They told me I should return it, after 3 phones and the same issue ill try a different time
