RE: Screen
Dont believe it HD2 only a month old and screen is already pixelated white random pixels on screen any ideas on cause it o2 HD2
Post picture.
Sounds like lit pixels to me although it's unusual for a load to appear at once if that's what you're saying. As said above, a photo would help.

I do not know how this happened, if it was due to TOMTOM5 what, but the screen resoluton has become completely blurred and even a hard reset won't bring it back? attached is a photo that shows the problem. This is not a camera issue as the same distortion is visible everywhere including cnn.com? any ideas?
Explain....
So, your display is blurred or the camera? If it's the screen at fault, posting apicture from the camera doen't help us as it isn't displayed on your screen.
the screen is at fault
it is the screen, not the camera that is gone. that is why I mentioned that this happens on cnn.com too. I don't know how to do a screen shot, so I had to use a photo.
This but is similar to what one might see on an overly mpeged photo, or if I take the colors on my PC screen down to 64 or 128 from128000 etc. so I think is a setting issue, maybe tomtom reset the scree somehow? who knows, but the fix lies somewhere in the registry, I hope
Again, it won't matter if you do a screen shot as the grab is handled internally.
Get a camera and take a picture of the screen when it's displaying the problems.
a bit of confusion here...
I don't have a pc here, so I could only see the photo through this screen, not realizing the camera and hence data/ photo uploaded were absolutely fine.
Lacking a means of showing the problem, all I can do is describe it, so here goes.
The photo and images look very square, some large areas that, for example used to a clear blue, with detailed tones and variations in brightness/ contrast, becomes solid blue. this happens everywhere, all contrast and detail flatening out and becoming solid/opaq.
It may be a screen resolution or color setting that has been altered and that cannot be changed back after a hard reset. Thanks for offering to help here,

Hi,
I wonder if anyone else has noticed this in the blackstone; I can see a grid of dots all over the screen when it's turned on. Ok, you have to look closely, but it's a bit annoying. I can see the dots better when I have a white or green background. For example, going to Start -> Programs I see the dots in the space between the icons.
I know the dots are from the 'resistive' layer, the dots are the sensors of the touchscreen... but they become visible and appear as small green dots perfectly aligned. I don't see them all the time, only when I have a white background or looking with a certain angle.
Should I be concerned? Could it be a problem with my screen?
Thanks!
Sounds a bit strange to me, the only time I can see the dots/grid is in bright sunlight. Then they look like small pin points in plastic.
i've never noticed that on mine...
That is normal, those are touch sensors for the screen. They allow the screen to recognise a touch.

Agree, but I had other PDAs before and never seen the dots when the screen is turned on. I don't care about the dots being visible when I'm under a bright light; my point is that I can see the dots when the screen is turned on, no matter under what kind of light. When I have a white backround, it looks like there's dust on the screen. If I look closely, I can see the dots in green colour, as a result of the reflectied light from the screen. I know they are the touch sensors, but it seems no one else can see them--
Any idea?
Thanks!
it is indeed normal especially under bright sunlight. However if you insist that you can see them when you switvh your device on, no matter the external light conditions, there might be something wrong with the screen. Have you seen other HD phones recently? Do you see the same dots there when they're switched on?

I haven't had the chance to see another HD; I've looked at a Diamond and Cruise, the dots are NOT there. I've tried to take a picture, but seems impossible to see the points in a picture (at least for the N95's camera).
I found an old tread talking about old PDAs that had the same issue, maybe they explain the issue better: http://forum.brighthand.com/showthread.php?t=207321
I'm not sure if I should send the HD to the service. Anyone knows how the 'worlwide warranty' works? I sent an email using htc.com site, but they don't respond.
Thanks!
Any advice on this matter...?
I don't know about colored dots, but every pocket pc I've ever owned had the dot grid visible in sunlight, it is normal, they should be clear dots though.
Hello
I purchased G1 with broken display on eBay from other user, hoping I could fix it.
G1 works good, its rooted and running cyanogen rom. Digitizer works, display is readable but colors are upside down. For example in settings screen text is yellow, background is blue arrows are somewhat gold. App menu background is black text, blue, attached pictures should tell more, one is home screen and other one is flashlight app with half intensity.
I dissembled the phone, searching for any signs of damage or anything, everything seemed ok. I am not sure if I should buy new LCD screen or Flex Cable. Did anyone encountered similar problem?
Hi
not sure if anyone else has noticed this but it seems that the call end button, the button to view the dial pad and the button to view speaker options are burned into my screen!!! viewing in most apps it is not noticable but if you open internet explorer and go to a new page without loading a website the images of the buttons and very visiable in a brownish color I have had my focus since it was released in the US, I have also checked my wifes focus and it also has this burned into her screen.. Has anyone else noticed this?
Yes, I have the call tile, message tile, and the little circle/arrow burned into my screen. As you said, it's only visible on light colored screens, but it is visible. Unfortunately, unlike the temporary burn-in on new plasma tvs, this burn-in will not go away.
If you want to see something really bad, go up to the at&t store and check out the Focus that's on display. The Focus at my local at&t store looks horrible. I can't imagine anyone wanting to buy that phone if they saw that display model...
edit: by the way I love your weather app, I have had a few problems with it over the time i've used it, and you have always been fantastic with your support. Thanks!
Are you using blue tiles? I heard Blue OLEDs burn out faster than other colors and changed my tiles to green.
I have been using the brown almost exclusively; occasionally I'll go with blue, green, or lime, but the brown just looks the best to me.

thanks for the comment. on to your screen you have the actuall tiles burned into your screen? wow i only have the call end and function buttons burned i think its related to having my display on bright i took it off the automatic.
It's actually not the tile, it's the icon inside the tile that is burned in, but it's only visible on white screens. It's still quite annoying. As soon as the hd7s is out I'm going to compare screens, if the slcd is close to the samoled then i'm jumping ship I think...
and yeah my screen is on bright (not automatic) also. I think my problem is that I have the time out set to 5 minutes, and I never locked it myself

Based on HTC's latest track record with the Desire HD and Inspire 4G, make sure you analyze the viewing angle of the HD7-S. HTC has said it will have a Super LCD but, according to an answer they gave to a customer complaining it wasn't true S-LCD tech, the display will likely be what HTC is calling "Super" LCD...meaning it is their name for the super-sized display...and having nothing to do with true S-LCD tech.
If the viewing angle isn't as good as the iPhone 4 or Focus...or other SAMOLED/AMOLED equipped devices...then it isn't the higher-tech display but just an ordinary non-TFT LCD.
Super AMOLED is a great screen. But the pixel life span is still way short. The Blue pixels are the shortest. The old stats are 2000 to 4000 hours. New information point it around 10000 to 14000 hours. But Samsung didn't release any spec on this.
You should always keep the screen dim and keep it on as short as possible. Reportedly use a red theme will not only preserve blue pixels but also prolong battery life.
No burn in here. I have the phone set to turn off screen within 30 seconds, and have always used Lime colour tiles since it matches the Xbox Live tile.
Just a follow up on this issue, and possible a "what not to do" post. The burn in on my screen is getting worse. On a white screen, I can now see the phone icon, message icon, small circle/arrow, the word calender, and my google mail icon. I have the screen set to time out after 30 seconds, and I have the brightness set to high (not auto).
Hello all,
After my phone got repaired 2 times for the same reason i want to know if other people experience this issue too?? It is most noticeable on black/blue screens.. Turns red/yellowish.. Now i have to send my phone for a third repair... Would it also be possible to just receive my money back?
Seems like the screen of this device is really really bad..
What turns red/yellowish? I am having my phone repaired right now cause I do see a reddish blurry dot on the screen when viewing video or black backgrounds.
Screen is on multiple spots discoloured on darker colours like black or blue. On those spots the colour is yellow/red where it should be the right colour.
I got that too, today, it weirded me out. The screen went full yellow tinted, and turning the screen off and on didn't do anything. So I restarted, but everything is fine now. But what about later ? Will it appear again ?
