Not all screens are the same!

Just have noticed that new units have much better screen in them! Look at the pictures. New screen doesn't change color while viewing under different angles and it dimms instead of turning off! Looks like screen on new Artemis units! Red is red on new units, doesn't have this pink hue.

Seems that HTC has replaced the buggy screens on new devices
Can you post the first 3 digits of the Serial Number from both devices in the pictures?

631 - left
636 - right

now I'm pissed

There is no way for me to tell by just the picture but I think I have the better screen.
I have serial 628 so you would think that it would have the bad screen, then again I am basing it off a picture.
On the other hand, maybe HTC was using the good screens then got a better deal on these other ones, and now is switching back? Because I have not had the alignment issues everyone else speaks of (THANK GOD, I feel for you guys I really do. You see the flip out touch screen in my car acts up and it drives me INSANE!)
So chalk up another inconclusive and basically useless post for me!
Later, Lew

I have a 628 and from the picture I would have to say I am with you lew. My reds look red and I also have not had the alignment issue. My keyboard just sucks!

come to think of it my red looks red too and I haven't had the screen alignment problem.... yet
dude are you using a screen protector on any of those tytn's or both ? same type ?
mine is 628 too

Mines a 632... have screen alignment probs but have disappeared for almost a month. But if their giving out better screens il get it sent for repair

I have a 628 too.
And my red looks red (just like the one on the right).
Never had the aligment issue. I've bought mine as soon as it got in stores.

Nick
What do you mean your keyboard sucks?
I have not had any issues with it yet (knocks on wood, REALLY)
but I think you got yours first. What problems do you have?

When closed the left side of my TyTN is very loose, that is a US quarter. Also it the keyboard is really loose when locking into place either closed or open.

I've got the same issue too!

I have a 635, and my screen looks exactly the same as the 636 and dims aswell.
Cept for the I have issues with several keys not working properly. If you press it in a specific angle, the button doesn't respond.
This is mainly on my 'A' button...

Both units have the same screen protectors applied - Brando Ultraclear

LCD problem?

Hello,
I've just got my replacement phone (the previous one had mechanical problems) and the display seems a bit strange with this new device.
There are visible banding effects in color gradients, (web pages, pictures) I know the Lcd has only 65K colors, but I don't remember those bands being so strong on my previous device.
Could you fellow G1 owners check this on your device please? I am in Hungary, Europe and I don't know any other G1 owners here (you know it's not available here, actually mine is an ADP1).
It's easy to check, the effect is very visible on http://www.google.com/news (Google international news mobile site) in the Android browser. It's slightly visible in the dark blue title bar, more in the light blue bar below and very strongly in the "Sections" bar far below.
Please check it and tell me what you have found...
Thanks,
Peter

I see the same issues with google/news. I think it has to do with google's site and/or the g1's browser. Here's a few high quality jpeg gradients Black-White, RainBow and Blue-Red. Unfortunately google compresses them and they look like junk online. So, here's a .zip of the three gradients your can download right to your phone and view with Astro, or extract to pc etc. They should look fairly smooth on the g1, better on pc tho..
use there gradients for w/e you choose.

Hello sonikamd,
Thanks for your help! Interestingly your test pictures look better (smoother) in the standard picture viewer app than in Astro's viewer. Can you confirm that?
Also how old is your device? It looks like that mine (the replacement device) is very old, it's serial number is lower than what I have sent back (purchased in december).
Thanks,
Peter

Just one last quick question: on the incoming call screen there are strange lines appear, do anyone see those on the G1 or it is just me?
Click on the picture to see what I mean.

No, I am not crazy - I am a graphics artist and really sensitive to things like that.
Thanks,

nope... [filling characters]

Hi lilithpro,
Thanks for the image, however you won't see the effect on a screencapture (like you attached). I made the pic in Photoshop (from a captured emulator screen) to show the effect - I exaggerated the effect in the pic a little.
You should check your device's lcd during an incoming call to see it. I think it is something to do with the lcd panel. Today I managed to check an other G1 and it showed that effect, too.
So it seems it is not my ADP1's problem.

New Nexus S owner - quality issues

Hi everyone,
I'm a former N1 owner and just bought a new NS i9020a from Negri Electronics and I'm finding a few funky things that I'd like to run by you guys. I'm suspecting that the phone might be defective, especially 1 and 2 below. Anyone else have these issues, or perhaps they are really non-issues?
1) My screen has pretty bad horizontal banding. It's most obvious in the notification pulldown, but is also noticeable with certain wallpapers, dead pixel test apps, etc. Please see screenshots below. Has anyone else had this, and do they fade away over time?
2) The galaxy live wallpaper has a layer of static "stars" or something above the actual spiraling galaxy. This layer kinda looks like stars, but some are splotchy/smeary. The galaxy itself also has a pink border/box around it too. I've factory reset twice and the same thing happens. Maybe my wallpaper is defective? See screenshots.
3) The screen in general has pretty yellow whites, especially in low brightness settings. I am not wowed as I thought I would have been with the SAMOLED screen.
4) When in the camera app, the picture doesnt actually take up the entire window. There are a few columns/rows of black pixels surrounding the picture. It's not centered either. See screenshot.
5) my volume rocker has a middle click, so there's up, middle, and down.
Banding:

Camera app:

i'm on an ns4g, and i have the exact same problems. its not big enough to bug me though. btw, the samoled is more known for their deep blacks than their whites.

I would get that exchanged asap but since you bought it from Negri you will hard time.

i have a i9023 and got exactly same black line in camera app, it just doesn't take up the entire windowi believe it's a "feature"
i think "middle" button in volume rocker is normal, cause every android device i owned it was present, sometimes when you press it, your system gets lagged for a while, like 5 secs, i believe it's something related to debug setting, also you can use it to disable power button in cw recovery (don't know why)
the rest of your problem i can't actually help, since my screen is not the same!
edit: when you change from photo to video in camera app, don't these lines/rows change at all?!

Camera looks normal, just like mine.
Banding looks bad though. Possibly defective display. If you have warranty, you should exchange.

[Q] LG G2 D802 - different tints

Could you check your phones and tell me if you have different tints in left bottom corner and right bottom corner? You can see that on white background or transparent black background. Tint in the left bottom corner is more blue and in the right more yellow. Maybe it is connected with little backlight bleeding in right bottom corner? I hope you understand me.

I have found the exact same issue on mine (noticed it the second I received it in the mail and powered it on). Most noticeable when your on screen buttons are white or you have a gray keyboard, the left half being blue tinted. I'm going to try a replacement this week and see if it's any better, but it looked like a store model had the same issue. Attached is a pic in which you can make out the subtle blue tint in the upper left corner of the photo creeping its way along the edge of the phone.

I'll report back when I have a replacement. Otherwise, this screen has much better calibration than the display units and is less blue overall.

Replace with warranty.

Have a black replacement on the way. I tried to get a white one as Verizon released it after the black version in hopes of getting a newer display batch, but the guy wouldn't do it. I'll post an update on Friday or Monday when I receive it.

And?
I have the same, but for me it's more a yellow tint on the top that blue on the bottom
It's visible when you have your keyboard on, while in vertical mode. The left of the keyboard is yellowish. I had the same thing with Z1, so maybe it's a "thing" with LCDs ? ;p

The replacement exhibited the same behavior to a lesser extent. However, it also has a huge spot of dead pixels, so I'm waiting for another replacement . I think the blue at the bottom is a panel design flaw but the gradient at the bottom from left to right varies from unit to unit.

White spot on LG G2 screen?

Not too sure if this is on the screen protector its self but I just noticed that my screen has a white "ghost" looking spot on the screen. It doesn't show on the screen unless I tilt the phone a certain way and it will only show up unless I'm holding in a certain way and when the screen is all black, for example on the LG logo.
Has this happened before to anyone before or do you think it's just my screen protector? (I'm scared to take it off because it's in the middle of the screen and if I do mess up the screen protector it would have been a huge waste of $ because the SP is expensive [special protector from japan])
(It seems like the white ghost only shows up in a black screen, other colors are fine and the spot does not show?)

Wow I didn't know anyone else had this. I noticed I have this spot on my screen and it's seems like it's a bugged pixel or smthing. It's not from the screen protector.

The weird thing on mine when I use a dead pixel fixing app from the market and I change the colour to like red or green or any colour that isn't black the white spot doesn't show at all. But when I switch to a black colour I can see the spot.
Does this happen to you?

İ have same problem as this description. İ can see the ghost spot brigt black colour.. Anyone knows what is it

I have it too, however I don't see it during normal operation so it doesn't bug me that much. With how big it is though, I don't believe it to be a pixel. Possible defect in the screens maybe?

I replace my screen and digitizer about 4w ago and now i have spotted those dots on the screen. Like those are higlighting where they thouch. Anyone finding fix or do i have to replace my screen again?

Did either of you find a fix, or did it get any worse? Just noticed this in last week. Not too annoying but not great, especially when out of warranty!
