Just thought I'd throw this out there...(Epson / Nova)

Just a PM response, but I figured I'd just post it to the public...ive been thinking about this for a while now...
colors on NOVATEK are horribly wrong... I think they might be the AMOLED screens that HTC had originally announced the phone with... Then they noticed the color issue with the new AMOLED technologies and reverted to the EPSONs.

Maybe it's just me, but I have a NOVA and my brother has an Epson and the difference is negligible if any compared side by side. I guess we are just color blind and don't know it.

Neither Novatek or Epson make AMOLED panels (only Samsung and LG) and if it was an AMOLED screen it would be noticeably better

lol then you have eye problems... i held my NOVA0002 next to my EPS0003 and i tell you, nova is this color --><<--- where its supposed to be black... put the default sense black background on... youll see
and it was about my exchaning my phone due to the screen grounding issue...
also thanks for the Samsung LG comment... I dont think its impossible that what I said could be true

Tilde, you're cool. End of story.
This thread is pointless. Close please!

The new phones have nova panels last I checked so they didn't switch anything to epson. If anything they ran both as tests and picked nova for whatever reason.

Mine is Novatek and black levels are amazing. Color quality is good as well. I have seen Evos with the purple tint though. I just don't think it matters what screen type it is.

very interesting... i thought all novateks would have the hue discoloration... perhaps its something that will soon be hacked out... either way, im happy with my epson

I have a related question.
I actually have a 0003, with the Nova screen. Is there a difference between the 0002 and 0003 models with the Nova screen?

Tilde do you have a 002 nova?
My 003 nova looks quite good
Swyped from my Evo 4G

I like the vibrancy of the Novateks over the Epsons anytime. Whether there is a pinkish hue or not is only distinguishable when setting it side-by-side with another device as your eyes are constantly adjusting the white balance to the brightness color you see. Therefore, the hue goes unnoticed most of the time anyways.
BTW, both screens are definitely not AMOLED. I wish Novas were 'cause then I'd be using the red tone tweak and would be saving 42% of battery life as it's been tested with the Nexus Ones.

I have a google io 0002 novatec and have compared it to a 0003 novatec and mine is noticeably brighter and more vibrant than the other one at full brightness. i do detect a cooler color temperature but it's only noticeable in contrast with a screen with a warmer temp. who is to say either one is incorrect? they both appear color accurate individually

My cousin darrell told my other cousin darrell that my first cousin darrell that his face kinda red. Figured it was from being in the sun a little longer then he aught to have been in it. But to be honest wit cha i reckon i wouldn't have noticed if darrell hadn't said nuffin. Its a little red but ain't too red i reckon.
Its like that little ding in your car door. It's small until someone points it out to you. Then all of a sudden WOW it got bigger magically.
The Nova panels are fine. Flash some ROMs or read a book.

i was going to say the same thing.. now the samsung moment, the colors on that screen are all jacked up.. but thats for another section in the forums!

love my 0002 NOVA. the screen is stunning and no matter how much I try to find flaws in it , I can't

I have a Nova and an Epson on hand right now and i prefer the Nova to be honest. The colors seem richer and not washed out.

I'm just in awe with this screen. Now with EVO comparison pics!

I can't believe how fantastic it looks compared to LCD. I'm a huge fan of saturated colors (I crank up digital vibrance on my computer), and now my EVO's LCD just looks washed out. Anyone else who switched from LCD to this?

I wouldn't say 'switched' so much, as my Droid is still my main phone, but yes; the screen is so much more beautiful and vibrant than my Droid's LCD. When my Verizon contract is up, SAMOLED will definitely be a requirement for my new phone.

^ When there's black on the screen, it's hard to tell where the screen stops and the casing begins! And when the phone is turned off, it just looks like one sexy slab of obsidian.
I ended up taking back my MT4G because I couldn't stand the washed out colors on the screen. The G2's SLCD was fantastic, but the SAMOLED on this absolutely blow it out of the water.

IT'S TOOOO DAMN BRIGHT!
Screen is great, but it's too bright! Was at TRON Legacy midnight showing last night, after the movie, the lights were still down, I turn on my phone and blinded myself! Even manually set to 0% it's way too bright. Makes it hard to use the phone at night when you're laying in bed reading the news.

Heh, you should rip an Avatar DVD and watch it on the SAMOLED. T-Mobile knew what it was doing when it packaged the movie with the Vibrant, because it's an absolutely jaw-dropping combo. My iPhone 4-owning friends are just blown away when I show them movies on my Vibrant.

I lick my super amoled when I am in the bathroom and no one can see me.

Coming from MT4G ( and the inferior screen too ) It's really a big difference.

Display has a pink tint!!

Please help! I just bought the Bell galaxy s 2 today and realised that in low brightness settings screen has a pink tint.
Does anyone have this issue? Its more visible in grey colors. When i compare with my galaxy s, galaxy s' whites are true white and galaxy s 2's white are pinkish tint on it. When the brihhtness is at %100 its not that visible but once u set it %0 it becomes pinkish.
Is it what it suppose to be or its defective?
Note: yes i played with background effect but it didnt help. I am running KG2.
Edit: I compared with galaxy s again and if I make the brightness %100 on galaxy s 2 both screens almost identical (although SGS2 still has little warm whites) but at %0 brightness when I pull down the notification screen sgs2 has literally pink hue

Why not anyone comment on this? 100 something views and no comments?
U guys all have sgs2. pls at least share your phone's display colors so I can know if something is wrong with mine.

Yep got it to and also pink on camera also mine going back to Amazon tomorrow had two in a week with same problem Ive got one ordered from another retailer ... but I think its a inherent fault

Are you saying your whole screen looks rather pinkish ? I've seen couple of devices that were pretty much reddish when showing white, but i think that's not normal. You should replace it.

Yes whole screen has a reddish tint. Especially grey colors. Instead of grey it displays reddish. If i compare Gmail app with Sgs side by side, my screen has ridiculously pink color.
I wonder if its a software issue or hardware? Cuz I remember in sgs hardcore's kernel he made an.option to change the colors.
This is my second sgs2. First one had a dead pixel. So I didnt wanna go right away and change it. I wanted to ask yours.
More input will appreciated.
I uploaded a pic SGS and SGS2 side by side displaying Grey Graident Colors. what do you think?

If your phone looks like the one on the right, get it replaced. No rom/firmware will make it look good.

I'd take the lack or response to mean that it's not a problem experienced by many people. If your read the threads talking about the display, you'll see there's wide variations in color temperature. Cool/blue seems to be normal while there are reports of phones leaning toward warm/yellow. Pink hasn't been reported a lot so I'd exchange the phone.

I am also from India and I dont have any such problem with my sgs2...

My girlfriend and I have the same german sgs2 (dbt) and mine has a bit of a greenish tint whereas hers had a but if a reddish tint. You can't notice it when using the phones alone but when you put them side by side you can notice it a little bit, but really not that much. Seems to be an AMOLED thing. Maybe I'll manage to take a photo for you.

Thanks a lot for that image. I have been wondering what people were talking about when they mentioned pinkish screen...
Luckily I don't seem to have that problem. It seems like there are a few defective screens out there.

perhaps supercurio will have a voodoo colour fix with the sgs2 whenever he releases it. It fixed the tinge on the original sgs. Look it up if u are unfamiliar with it

I changed the phone today and got a new one. Its better now and significany less pink color.
Also I discovered something that the pink tint is only visible when u look at the screen 90 degrees. If u tilt the phone a little (5-10 degrees) to left-right or up-down and view like that the color turns normal (like my year old sgs).
It made me realise that this is a screen coating issue (maybe coating causes polarisation). So do u think this will go away with the time of use?
When I turn off the screen and check it under light by tilting I can see a little purple glare.
What do u think?

screen border/banding that affects the atrix?

noticed today that on dark colors a thin gray border will appear all around the screen. it is quite annoying....and affects anything displayed on the atrix...well mine at least...and at least a few others too im sure...
i first noticed it with the menu buttons on opera mobile...thought it wad a design element but rather it is a display limitation.
attached is a darkish background downloaded from google images. view and zoom the picture to fill the entire screen. on my atrix the gray border is as clear as day...how bout for you guys?
edit: this isnt backlight bleed nor qhd compatibility issues...it is an actual thin gray line that appears on the screen.

Nope. Just you.
Sent from the coolest voided warranty phone ever.

thats because the atrix screen is not an led screen, it is a tft screen. the atrix screen illuminates from the edges around the screen while led screens such as amoleds from samsung illuminated from small diodes behind the screen. its brighter around the edges because it is being lit up from the sides.

Try again.

I had the same issue with my Atrix. Went to an AT&T device support center and they swapped it out with a brand new Atrix and the new device does not have this issue. It seems the banding/border issue is affecting a small number of those devices.

I didn't have banding initially, but over time the problem seemed to become more apparent, especially after the gingerbread OTA.

how long did you own the atrix before you swapped it out? just wondering since this atrix is about half a year old now...

I probably need to lock bootloader and unroot if I want to get a new phone right?

i just can see this bandings on ur photo with full brightness!

yes! that's the problem exactly...should spread that pic around so people are aware. look at the ghostly rectangle that is created...can see it clearly even on normal brightness. maybe you can find a non-affected atrix like datumdei did...

I would relate it to the gingerbread update. I didn't have it before in Froyo and I tried everything to replicate it, now I can also see it. They must've tune the colors, saturation and other settings because now I don't see the gradient banding in the calculator app and even the XDA app isn't that obvious anymore.

Hey guys, i just got my Atrix yesterday and only notice this when the screen is grey. At first I thought it was screen burn-in from a static image, but after finding this page I feel better knowing its not just me.
Are there any other web pages that you have found related to this issue?
Also, could the android market update have caused this?
If you want to test to see if your phone is doing this, downlod dead pixel test from the android market and tap the screen until it turns grey.

What to check when you get the new Nexus 4 in hand?

I can finally leave limbo and get it in hand tomorrow.
And I heard so many "issues" about the phone,
so before I unlock bootloader and flash thing.
I wanna check the phone completely before risking the warranty
So what is the common "issues" right now?
What I know is:
1. Phone rattle
2. Yellow tint / Too warm display / Dead pixels
3. Buzzing sound
and what else?
Thanks

Appearantly "issue" number 2 (Yellow Tint) is only experienced if you update (OTA) once you receive your nexus. If you don't update you won't experience the yellow tint "issue".

A static noise when in a call, if the phone is super close to your ear you can hear it.

That doesn't even make sense.. I guess they changed the color calibrations in the OTA? Well whatever I just hope and pray that my nexus 4 doesn't have any of these issues.

Don't worry about the color too much. If it could be changed by an OTA then devs will come up with the perfect colors. Think Galaxy Nexus.
There is a small rattle around the camera area if you shake it. Honestly I don't find that a problem since I'm not shaking it constantly.
The buzzing in the earphone/headphone is a bigger problem but not annoying to me. I can't hear it when in calls or listening to music. It's only very pronounced when there is no sound coming out.

I still hope Google itself can have a better tune in the color temp.
About the yellow tint (dots), is it common or just a rare case?

Most likely a rare case, my phone currently has no issues with yellow spots on the screen

what about bleeding sceen i seen 2 spot on top of the screen when in dark room just reminded me of LG G2X.

This is software, kernels are always able to adjust the color balancing and saturation etc once more custom kernels come out this problem will be addressed/fixed.

You'll get that with any LCD really... if it's really bad you might want to see if they'll exchange it, otherwise there's a chance it will be worse if you get it replaced.

Another thing ( quite obvious ) are admittedly rare [ saw one user in reddit mentioning this] dust under the screen or noticeable dead pixels .

Also check to make sure there are no "bulges" around the sides of the phone where the black backing meets the front bezel. I have a small bulge near the bottom right side of the phone that looks like a little clip failed to engage. I have tried pushing it in to sit flush but it does nothing. I wasn't going to do anything about it since it's not that big of a deal but I called Play support and told the rep the issue. He said he has had a few reports of this problem and recommended an RMA. So I have a new one on the way.
