Can anyone see a matrix of dots on the screen when it's turned off? It may be more visible under direct light.
Thats normal for many cellphone screens, don't sweat it.
Yes, I just think that's the way the screen is

Thanks guys. It's just because I could hardly see them on my previous Desire, while they are a bit more pronounced on the DHD.
Only on 4.3 screrns from htc hd2. Dhd. Evo all have them

Its a regular LCD screen, rather than AMOLED/SLCD etc, which are less prone to matrices being seen in certain lighting conditions.
the dots are visible on my girlfriend's legend.
they not visible on my magic.
next time i see her father's desire i'll have to look at it a bit closer to see if it has them.
In the right light/angle you can see it on many phones, my Galaxy S is the only one where I have yet to see it at all.

Ok, I just recived my second Incredible replacement after the first on had a light red to the white balance verses my original. This second has the same. I notice the contrst is a touch less then the original and the black doesnt seem quire as dark at time when compairing. Also one positive is that it seems a little brighter also thatn the original that I know us amoled. How can I tell if they switched to the Sony super tft display? Its not a huge deal just disapointing after getting used to the amoled. I personaly like that displays color balance better. Just want to knoe why these screens are different.

Im not positive how to tell if its changed or not but I do know that they did get rid of the AMOLED because of the shortages.
From what was announced only the nexus one and desire ee changed to slcd not the incredible.
My gf got a new replacement and hers has a purpleish tint to it when the brightness is low. A lot more noticeable then my phone. Looks like AMOLED though. The blacks are black.

HTC has publicly stated quite the opposite. The N1 and Desire switched to SLCD, but they have no immediate plans to switch the Incredible due to the change in the aforementioned two handsets alleviating the shortage.
htc was originally gonna switch incredible to SLCD, they never stated they WERENT gonna switch it due to affirmed Nexus and Desire switch though.

HTC's statement, sent as a reply to htcsource.com...
"Because AMOLED supply is being relieved on other models, we currently feel we can meet demand of Droid Incredible with AMOLED screens. Of course we may need to change our minds and add sLCD screen models should demand continue to remain high.”

Really in the end it doesnt matter because they need to drop the amoled screens and just go with the samoled screens
There is definetly a difference between my original and these 2 replacments. I still have the original incredible in hand to compair with the second replacment.

Look closely at the pixels for the pentile arrangement, if the edges of straight lines look like dotted lines, its still AMOLED. A good place to see it is to pull down the notification shade, and look at the edge of the O where it says Ongoing, with the pentile matrix on the AMOLED screen you can tell the O is jagged and not smooth.
Was wondering this too, my little brother just got an incredible and it looks fine in sunlight like my evo when they are both at full brightness. I also noticed that like the evo, on HTC.com the type of screen is not listed, just says touch sensitive display. Just last week it said amoled. He just got the phone this past Wednesday, the hardware version is 002.
After many phonecalls and internet research I found out they did change the screen to slcd. The sku with vw2 notes this. The amoled defintly has a better color balance but if you did know this you might not notice. Shame I think I am sticking with my original even thought the switch can be flakey at times.

002 is the normal amoled. BTW, VZW got a froyo build that listed "LCD support" in the change logs, so they are at least preparing for the switch in case it ever does come.

I'm on 3rd (hope last) inc due to warranty issues. Second was brand new, but had to wait due to backorder in June.
This latest one was a refurb, but looks and acts like a new one. I had some initial concerns, though. Just like the earlier poster, this has a purplish tint on the grays when using a setting dimmer than about 50%. I may not have noticed it if I hadn't had the other ones first. It's noticeable, but something I can live with. In any case, the display is crisp and clear, and the effect goes away as the brightness is turned up.
Awesome phone; even better thanks to XDA forums.

Too bad Samsung is holding those internally for up to a year in their own phones. By the time they release SAMOLED screens to other companies they've probably got something better already.
I don't worry about AMOLED vs sLCD because I got one of the engineering prototypes with AMOP technology (Active-Matrix Organic Plasma). Makes the production-run screens look like etch-a-sketch by comparison!
I'll be skruud if I ever brick it tho
Hi there,
I was looking at my phone the other day. Whenever the LCD displays black, i can see around 12-13 little colour spots on my screen. I was thinking LCD burn in or something but my screen hasn't been on for long periods of time displaying the same thing. The spots are VERY faint, It's hard getting a picture of them. Any threat? Could it grow and spread to other parts of the screen possibly?
Cheers
Dial *#*#3424#*#* and check the display test. It could be dead (sub)pixels of a certain colour.

Cheers mate. I'll try that now.

Okay, from what it seems in the display test, there is no permanent problem with my screen. On the black slide the screen has no issues. Thanks a lot for the help.
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk
EDIT: Having a closer look it turns out them colour spots are still there. Most likely be a replacement for me. Cheers.
I thought I had a similar issue. After closer inspection it looks like 2 of those 'touch points' (Can I call it that? I'm referring to those dots that make up a matrix that is present on the screen itself, best viewed at certain angles when the screen is black)
Well it looks like 2 of those points are overly glossy, like an over active pixel. Seems most noticeable on a white background. Anyway to sort that out?
Well, I called HTC. They aren't aware of anything like this being 'normal' so I presume its a faulty screen. Mines getting picked up by HTC on the 4th for a repair/replacement. I would rather do without the hassle but I just don't want it to worsen.

First off, amazing phone. So amazingly fast and thin, makes my desire feel like a toy.
I have noticed some banding on the screen, mostly on greys, was just wondering if others have noticed this too. Gets a lot worse if lcd density is changed as well.
A wallpaper cropped exactly to size, and tested on my desire, its banding too.
tapatalk (dot) com/mu/5606c166-3c12-a03a.jpg
Can't post links yet, but since this screenshot taken by pressing home and power shows the banding as well I'm wondering is this a software fault?
Our is this going to be bad graphics on a fair few apps?
Thanks in advance
EDIT: just noticed on my computer the screenshot looks perfectly fine, but on both my desire and gs2 and a friends hd2 it looks banded.

Hello,
I have a DHD and i am happy but after some use I notice that a "dot" appears on my photos. I checked the external lens, everything is clean and i dont have scratches. My DHD only have 6 months of use. What is the best solution, open it or contact the warranty?
The photo 4 have a yellow shadow, can anyone explain this?
The photos are here.
Thanks!
I really wouldn't open it m8. One you probably won't get everything back together and I'm pretty sure this would void your warranty

I don't know about the dot, but I have the same issue with the yellow hue in the middle of my pics. It seems to happen more indoors than out, but it's there.
i get a pink spot in low light conditions...
I contacted the support. The solution proposed by support is send the mobile phone for check the problem.

Same issue, and once you have seen it you will see it on pictures and videos from other people too.
You can see the spot on a gray background. So if you have like gray tiles or piece of paper it is your best bet to see it.
Now I noticed that you can bring down the spot to almost zero by reducing the contrast setting. Mine is always 1 notch down from standard which I already found having to much contrast to be natural.
Maybe you have dead pixels?

For dead pixel it's very strange, because the pixels are perfect dots.
I think it may actually be some sort of software issue...
I flashed a CM7 based rom a while ago and i don't seem to be able to get the pink spot to appear anymore (With LGcamera)... (There used to be a pink spot for me while using the sense camera)
People may say that out super amoled display is getting old and everything, but its only getting old compared to the super + varients and hd amoleds. so far i have not seen a smart phone capable of my vibrants supreme colors and deep blacks. dont forget viewing angles. my cuzzin was all happy cuz she got a htc vivid n thought the screen was better than mine cuz it was bigger lol. then i showed her mine next to hers and she was like wtf? it doesnt look as white or bright lol. gosh, im never getting rid of the vibrant till the hd plus varients come out. forget lcd. its just outdated and a waste of time. nokia and samsung know that
HTC has used amoled before I don't see why they don't continue and Motorola has used it Led Tech is simple better plane an simple

The only thing I never liked was with the stock rom/kernel from when I first got my vibrant is missed calls and texts kept the screen lit, especially overnight, which in turn kind of burnt the notification bar and clock slightly into the screen that I notice on a white screen :facepalm: no fix for that I assume?

Yup, over the holidays my aunt hade a point to mention how ..er.. vibrant my screen was. Her adult sons have smartphones so it's not like she's never seen one before, but mine stood out.
Then again, maybe it was because I was letting my niece watch Spongebob.
Lol. you know idk why people over exagerate saying that our screens are not "sharp" seems pretty sharp to me. its a nice trade of for having everything else superior
Our screen does kinda suck compared to other phones... But i've noticed my screen seems to be the most durable. I've stepped on my phone a couple times, it dropped then i get out of the car and crack.... I even stepped on it one time with a rock on the side and the screen doesn't have a single scratch..
Thats about all I can say I like.

Hell I like the screen on this phone even more than the one on the galaxy s 2. The galaxy s 2's screen just doesn't look as nice and the colors are weird. Maybe its cause of that blueish tint. And the low resolution on that bug of a screen? Eww

Older phones like the HTC HD2 couldn't match our phones AMOLED display, but when your talking about the new Galaxy S2, or even a phone like the HTC Amaze both have fascinating displays.
I've compared them side by side and i personally think our phones have more of a yellowish tint that isn't so great.

You shouldn't be comparing a new phone to an older phone in the first place, chances are the new one will always be better.

This is true, but call me crazy I thought my G2 had a better display. and the HTC Evo was pretty sweet..
It's just something about this offset yellowish tint. The whites never seen pure, although i'll give it the black is definantly more black than an LCD.
don't you guys have voodoo control center to tweck colors?
