Different Screen panels - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My EVO is down, my replacement is in transit. I was wondering how to determine which screen panel the new one has when I get it. I read that the new panels look washed out and have a line of dead pixels. Which panel is the new and which is the old so I can research the differences between the two.

Better late than never I hope?
I just answered part of this question in another thread, here's what I said:
Anyhow, I did search, and after a few search terms turned up nothing (and 20 seconds in between each one can be a pain) I went out of the forums and found this post on ppcgeeks.com:

You've got to ADB in, download the evoinfo.txt file with this command:
adb shell dmesg > evoinfo.txt
It'll list the screen type in there somewhere.
Hope this helps!

easier way, put the power manager widget on your screen and hit the brightness button. If it fades between levels, it's NOVATEK. If it just changes then it's EPSON.

How do you know if you have Epson or Novatec?

I'm seeing all this work done to help lift the FPS cap, and I keep seeing mention of Epson and Novatec panels, and that some fixes work for one and other fixes work for another. How do you find out which kind your phone has?
Hi,
There are multiple threads with the info you are looking for. No need to repost. Checkout the evo dev forum.

So if it's an Epson it will just flash to the level? Mine kind of moves up/down like a dimmer switch on a light, so I assume I've got a Novatek.

[Q] Screen Takes A Few Seconds To Wake Up

I have an Epic 4G Touch, hence this question being in the Epic 4G Touch forum.
When I press the power button to turn on the display, it takes the phone anywhere between 1-3 seconds for the screen to turn on. The same thing happens when I'm on a phone call and the screen is off because of the proximity sensor. When I move the phone away from my head (say to use the dial pad), it again takes the screen 1-3 seconds before it turns on.
This seems like it's a bit longer than what it should be. What can I do to improve the situation?
I don't use any task killer apps (because they're bad for your OS), and I don't really have much running in the background. I use Minimalistic Text widgets and Llama, but I think that's all I've downloaded that runs in the background.
Thanks in advance for your replies

do a search on here its been discussed a few times already
it's because of the SD Card. It's a known issue. Some people don't mind, some people do. I'm the latter, it's annoyingly laggy.

Tried searching. I saw the topic for some other phones, but I figured this might be phone specific. If you're aware of a relevant thread maybe you could point me to it?

So you're saying without the SD card that doesn't happen? Got any sources or further reading? Sounds like a huge bummer if this is the case...

Try GoSms with GoLocker I put both of them on my phone after I formatted my sdcard and moved my lockscreen background pic to my internal sd and it cut down on the lag

I use a pattern lock screen. Does GoLocker work with that?
Also, I read through those other threads you mentioned and people claimed that a class 10 micro SD card helped a lot with the lag, so I ordered a PNY class 10 off of Amazon.
I'll post results here when I get it.

LG Touch LED Notifications (Updated to Support Nitro!!)

Hello all,
I am creating this thread since we all at one point had a discussion regarding having some kind of notification alert on our phones the moment we achieve Unlock.
Well guess what, Xigzil aka MARTIN BÖRJESSON has an app on the market called LG 2X/Black/3D Notifications. I've installed this on the phone, and unfortunately, it does fully support the phone yet to work properly. I've reached to Xigzil and he will try to help and update his app so it will work with our phone but he will be needing our help. Since he does not have the phone, he will need things from us, so let's do our best to help Xigzil in achieving this.
For now, this will just be placeholder until he has decided to visit us here. Hopefully it won't be long
App has been UPDATED!! Nitro is now supported, download it here: LG Touch LED Notifications
What unlock?
/me confused.

Bootloader sir....we had a long discussion over here about notification LED remember, n there was some consensus that it would be the first thing to do once we achieve an unlock bootloader

UPDATE!!
So Xigzil has just updated his app!! It is now called LG Touch LED Notifications since it supports much much more LG phones, including our dear LG Nitro HD (P930)! I have not tried it just yet, just noticed that the update kicked in and that one of the supported phones is the Nitro. So go download it and give it a try and let us know how it is!
You can download it here: LG Touch LED Notifications
To Admin/Chris: Please move this thread to either General or Themes/Apps as it no longer pertains to a development effort. Thank you.
Hmm. Not sure whether I like it or not. I though maybe it'll be a fade in and out kind of effect but it just blinks. And all three buttons blink. Going to keel it for a while and see if its really useful.

I thought the same thing too. I guess it's kind of useful if I just have my phone on the table and I'm staring at something else, until it starts blinking and gains my attention. I do think however fade options would be fantastic, and if only one button would light up.
Maybe something like Gmail - Menu button
SMS - Home button
Other - Back button
Moved to general as asked. Don't forget, if you need me just send me a pm.

Is the ability to control each of those buttons individually built into the software, though? I mean, I thought it was all or nothing when it came to the button LED's.
eh, no K9 and google voice support

Yeah all or nothing for the buttons. Atleast we have some kind of notification now for the Nitro/Optimus LTE !
I like putting my phone face down so the speaker is up. Would it be possible for a notification app to blink the camera's LED flash?

Lol! [email protected], that's exactly the same thing that's on this thread, the same app made by the same guy
Liteon, to answer your question, I use this: Flashlight Notifier
It basically flashes the camera's LED when something triggers it. You can set it however you want, and the pattern on how the LED flashes too. It's very cool, but mind you, they flash really really bright, so in a dark area, expect people to jump out of their skin when this thing goes off lol!
I use both LG touch Notification and the Flashlight Notifier on this phone, so I can see the notification regardless of how you face your phone.

What settings does everyone use for it?
I have root access and have allowed it with superuser.
My phone is running Kernelpanic 0.3, and it is a bell optimus LTE

New post images

There seem to be new icons for posts and I was wondering where they were from and when they were added. I only just noticed them!
This isn't really a question just more of a discussion sort of topic.
New Icons
We added them just for fun--many of them seemed more practical than what was there before. Also, we're preparing for the new theme coming soon.
ne eta's for the new theme?
Haha just seen the new theme However it looks kind of retarded where on my 1366x768 (or whatever) display it has a horizontal scroll wheel.
EDIT: Also, put the link to user cp back lol

Lol, I tried the 2013 beta as well and it didn't work particularly well, although I did like the colour scheme and the general UI of it.
Also, I can't tell whether the icon I'm using for the title of this post is supposed to be a generic smartphone, or is based on the iPhone
I dunno, the buttons at the top do look really too big and it reminds me of your average forum tbh
but hw did u all get to use tht theme?.....i see theres no option in mine

My phone is acting weird and need a relatively easy way to do a full wipe/restore

So yeah, basically I'm having problems with my phone slowing down and lagging quite badly when I change CPU frequencies and I want to do a full restore as if the phone was fresh from the factory so I can start again. How do I do this?
I will link you last thread like this, look at the replies: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/help/how-to-factory-reset-wipe-t3486712

It IS the same method to reset that device though.
With the device off, power and volume down should get you to the menu you're looking for. From there find the factory defaults menu. I can't for the life of me remember what stock recovery looks like.
