Hey didn't really read anything abouth this, but the os part of the phone from samsung is really getting to annoy me. It's pretty ugly and doesn't look good...
I am wondering if I am the only one with this. Is it the screen or is it just not well made? Because it also looks like some banding.
I will give some examples but you can see it everywhere...
Like the battery icon when your phone is off and you are charging, wtf is that? It's banded like wth...
Also these two next examples are bad. Can you check if yours is the same?
It seems with a screenshot it's pretty normal on my laptop screen. On my phone it's not like that. How are these examples with your phones??
In this first pick, look at the grey from every different alarm. On my phone it is very banded!! Not smooth at all like this picture, some pink lines in between and stuff...
Here you should lok at the grey of the keyboard. And the green telephone button. Doesn't look smooth in my phone.
I also have a question abouth, some burn in? When i pull down the pull down menu/notification bar, and I watch the bar where your thumb is up, it chancges slightly in color i noticed. When i look closer, i could see that what is behind the bar is visible for abouth 10-15 sec and than it fades. So i could read the word contacts pretty good, when i pulled it all the way down, so it's kind of a burn in for sometime? Is this normal and can ohter people check this on their phone? Thanks
Yes I agree it's pretty ugly, use go launcher, go contacts and go sms pro, much better looking...

Yeah ok, the look is something else, everybody has it own taste.
But i was talking abouth the banding on the grey of the numeric keyboard, and the alarm for example...
At these screenshot they look pretty normal, but on my phone they don't look like that...
So is it the screen that make them look like that???
Do these things look the same on your phone screen as on your pc screen? Or do you also have banding on these things?
PC screen is not the phone screen stupid to compare them .
For what is worth I see no banding on Dialpad on phone likewise ringer volume .

There is a topic about the banding, I think it's a software issue it probably doesnt use 24bit color depth, just use go contacts/dialer

Yeah i know it's stupid. But you should think it is optimised for the phone.
On the dialpad I see banding on every number's grey "button".
And it is not the ringer volume, that was an accident when i made the print screen, I accidently pushed the ringel volume at the same time.
It's the grey from every alarm, very banding on my phone...
So if you don't have it, my screen is defect?

Factory reset first to clear any problems .

I am sure the screen response will loosen up over time. I noticed too initially but it's all okay now.
I remember first two weeks of my tv was almost painful to watch while the pixels caught up with the action. Maybe oled isn't much different to lcd in that respect

First of all, has anyone had this happen?
When your on your phone, all the colors on the screen have inverted. I dont know really how to explain this unless u already know what the effect looks like. You can accually do this in photoshop. I make a so called"negative" of the pic. black become whites, and all the other colors have there own opposite on the color spectrum. Anyways, when this happens it will stay like that whether im on the home screen, goin to texting, email, internet, games, anything it stays. once the phones screen turns off and u turn back on, its back to normal. anyone know what im talkin about?
my next question is, is there a way to set ur phone to look this way all the time, either with a program or a registry edit? i think it looks so kool when it happens, and id like to keep it on there haha
please someone help
When I chose calendar, i got a black pixel on the calendar bar (gray bar, just under the black start bar)...and when I choose Excel or contact, it's gone...but they are same gray background...
Doesnt make sense...my display passed all colors on PocketLCD ???!!!
and my two "stucked pixel" at Contacts are exatcly the same spot as the ones in the GSMARENA screenshot review...this is weird !!!
Anyone care to explain ? Do u have the same behaviour too?

I can at least confirm this. Same pixels occur on my device. No explanation to this here.
Eriol
Same here on the contacts screen.
I've got the same, and looking at screenshots on the web, it seems specific to the HD.
ie this diamond shot seems OK:
http://i.gsmarena.com/vv/reviewsimg/htc-diamond-vs-samsung-omnia/sshot/gsmarena_s049.jpg
but HD not:
http://i.gsmarena.com/vv/reviewsimg/htc-touch-hd/sshots/extra/gsmarena_004.jpg
Yep, got this on my HD too, weird. Perhaps a quirk of the HTC customisations?
i have a dead pixel too when i start my camera. it's strange because the same dead pixel does not appear when doing something else.
i can also confirme the 2 stuck pixels in contacts manager.
strage ....
I'm not going to look for it - if I see it once, it will annoy me every time I look up a contact.
Sounds a curious little feature though.
Yup had this problem once when i installed GSEN had to delete it because it cause my screen to display a dead pixel when their was none. so try uninstalling programs which might be causing it.
Regarding GSen, that is their way of showing the GSen app is running, small white pixel top dead center of the screen. If you soft reset you'll notice its gone until you re-launch GSen again.

Then, we need a new ROM to fix this issue... I wont be bother since it's a SW issue not HW one...
I have the same dots in contacts, doesn't look like dead pixels, otherwise it would have shown on the snowpicture on fullscreen.
its just some lame graphics issues when they made it.. dont worry
I've got the same thing, but it doesn't look like a pixel problem. I hadn't noticed it before, now I can't ignore it anymore
Pixel
Hi,
i just recognized a blue pixel on the screen when i start the cam .
So i downloaded a tool called "smartUDPixel" to check the screen for dead pixels BUT everything looks fine.
What`s going on? Why`s the blue pixel only shown by using the cam? Any reason for that?
Thx for your feedback.
Stefan
I have one white pixel that shows up in while in camera mode and shooting a dark scene. Strange however as its not visible in any other programs.
Same here too addition to one black pixel dead appears when the screen on blue color :S
If you can capture it, it won't be dead pixel on LCD.
Hi
The pixels as per the original poster is something to do with the WVGA resolution I think as I see the same thing on the Topaz, but not on other devices.
Regards
Phil
WOW............are you all talking about those tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiny teeeeeeeeeeeeeeny little dots that can barely be seen?
Man my eyes must be **** lol I have them but I had to put my glasses on (there for reading and even then I could barely see them)
Whats the big deal? Flash a new ROM with a different contact UI
And I thought I had OCD lol
There are a lot of focuscolours already for the diamond, but i would prefer to have no focus at all, or if that is not possible, just a clear transparent one.
Or since many of us still have black or white background, a black or white focus!!
thx devs.
No one?
Do you guys actually like the focus in colour whenever a button is pressed?
I dont, it doesnt look good and I always have to click ones more to get rid of it, but anyway....
I've been looking for this too, i always switch from 1 touchflo 'page' to another and back, to get rid of it. I stopped looking for this some time ago though... seems like something this simple is impossible i guess
transparent selection
try this and let me know.....i found this somewhere on the forum.

Yep, that is almost good, the problem is that it makes my topbar completely black, dont know why.
The focus is transparent
Just wondering if anyone else is seeing this same problem. When on a white screen like a Google search or aldiko, where the text is displayed portrait mode to the left and right of where text is displayed there are like faint bleed lines where the text is displayed. I tried with brightness all the way up and for the most part they go away but around 50% brightness if you look closely I can see it. Do any of you see the same thing. Just wondering if the amoled screens are like that the Samsung behold II is like that. But godly enoguh in landscape I don't see it. Just portrait. Just hoping nothing is wrong with my cool new phone.
Here are 2 pix of what I see
http://tauruspc.net/pix/1.jpg
http://tauruspc.net/pix/2.jpg
And a better one. Just look to the left and right
http://tauruspc.net/pix/3.jpg
I *JUST* answered your question on google support lol
I have the same thing but mine is definatly not that easy to see.
I just checked and i cant see what youre talkin about so i guess my answer is no
Talk about ironic timing. Weird will look then. And the weird thing is on xda page I don't see in Google support I do. LOL.
Also, I am using Dolphin Browser not default so that may be in play I'm not sure, try downloading it and see if you have the same problem maybe.
Yeh I will do that mainly seems with just black on white portrait mode like Google support. Not xda though.
Wonder if it has to do with power consumption. It takes more power to display white pixels. With the black on the same line maybe those lines with text are consuming less power on the line making the rest of the LEDs on that line of the matrix receive more power, making them brighter?
I tried for about 10 minutes to make that as unconfusing as possible lol
Makes sense. Weird only on portrait not landscape. but just spoke with HTC and they say that haven't heard of any problems like that and can send this in get a problems like that and can send this in get a temp one while they fix it and then switch around again
haven't seen much improvement setting manual brightness either.
I get the same thing, I think it is simply a scaling artifact. When you double tap to zoom the lines are no longer visible.
You can see this effect in the boot loader, but only adjacent (the right of) to where there is text at the left. if you look down where there is no text, and just white space, the ghosting lines across the white are not present.
either way, doesn't really bother me, you really have to look for them to see them.
Yeh double checking I see it there too. So yeh just not me then. Probably just amoled tech. the kind of blinky static lines is what bugs me. Don't happen that often and still kind of have to look to see those but since I have been using heavily since I got it about every 4- 5 hours I see where it gets like static lines horizontally about one pixel think blinky faintly in random spots all over the screen but kindof like static or noise from chip shielding or bad power frequency.
This is kind of hard to explain but whenever I use my phone, no matter what app is open, or when I'm on the homescreen, some apps kind of show transparently on my display like it almost looks like the current app being used is translucent that I can see the other app? I can't really explain this properly. Screenshots don't show what I'm talking about.
It shows up at the very sides and top portion of the screen. It also shows when I bring down my notification shade. The grey part at the top which is supposed to be completely grey, still shows the battery icon, time, notification icons, signals, Wi-Fi indicator, etc. but very translucent. As if the grey quick toggles thing is translucent.
Again, screenshots dont capture the thingy. So I'm sure it's an issue and not intentional by Motorola.
It's screen burn issue. It has been discussed numerous times check through the forum for more help.

Install this, set on 5% black and after a while the burn images are gone. (keep the app on all the time, the one that I linked to is the one with less battery usage, from the 4 I tested)

As mentioned above by @Gero71 , use the app or visit the service center and ask them for a display replacement. That would be a permanent fix hopefully. :good:

I've seen some people complaining about the same issue after they've replaced their screens. It will still occur no matter what.
And, the app you're making me install, is just a screen filter. I use it all the time. Lowering the brightness doesn't fix the screen burn. It just makes it less prominent. But it is still there.
