So you updated your Nexus S firmware to Android 2.3.3 and noticed your Nexus S screen going discolored or even going yellow in some cases? Well, here is a surprise and not a pleasant one – all of this is happening according to Google’s will and desire.

Nexus S yellowish screen

If you were planning to play with the brightness settings to get rid of the good for nothing yellowish tint, then we advise you to read this statement issued by Ry Guy’s on the Google forums:

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 greys having a reddish tone; with the new color temperature this is no longer the case.

So here you have it, the Android 2.3.3 sporting Nexus S users would have to live with the discolored touch-screen? Sound off in the comments section to let us know what you think about this seemingly unpleasant change.
