not much a problem for me either, i only notice it when typing text in landscape, but if it is this much of a problem now, how bad will it be in a year.
If it gets as bad as my old tv was with the pause button from sky+ contantly burned in the corner im gonna be p*ssed.
has anyone had this problem with any previous phones, how bad did it get?
edit: will post a picture later (if i can get it to sgow on my camera)
what do you mean by "burned" ?!
So is it your black(?) Status bar shows slightly when you boot up the phone w/ the white HTC screen?

With me it was the white status bar, the black one decent seem to do it, it might be why HTC made it black because the white one gives the burn in effect

Ahh, so when is it you see the burn effect? Is it the things on the status bar you see? And white does use more power with amoled screens, so thats most likely the cause.

I thought it was the black status bar that did it. But it can't be. Our screens don't do anything when displaying black. Must be white that did it.

are you being sarcastic? i cant tell...
If you thought the phone was so bad when you bought why didn't you just take it back?
no im not and we live in a country where you cant do that, bring it back. Once you take it out of the shop there is no go back.
I hate it so much that i hope it will break when I root it. I also hate android and google. We cant buy market apps here either.
That way I will have at last a reason to tell to my lady why i got an iphone. lol
lol, I'm afraid to ask, but what is it that makes you hate it so much? Did the Desire hurt your feelings?
Anyway, one of the negatives of Amoled is that there can be some burn in effects.
As wikipedia states:
Screen burn-in: Unlike displays with a common light source, the brightness of each OLED pixel fades depending on the content displayed. The varied lifespan of the organic dyes can cause a discrepancy between red, green, and blue intensity. This leads to image persistence, also known as burn-in.

So! Anti-burn-in tip:
Don't go full brightness, and don't leave the screen on for too long. And make sure everything on the screen changes every now and then (not really possible with status bar obviously).
Strange! Never heard of anyone go fro. Android to iPhone, plenty leaving the iPhone to join android!

You could sell it lose it on ebay at the pub and have to buy a new phone.

i got another good tip for you. Dont turn the screen on at all, actually dont use the phone at all. that way your pixel will remain young till your childrens children grow a beard.

I received mine in the mail yesterday and wanted to give my mini review.
I currently have or had:
G1
G2
G2x
Sensation
Hercules
The reason I mention this is because this phone is not much nicer then the G2, G2x or the sensation but this phone is still solid.
I paid the outright price and coming from these phones I just cant see the difference for me to spend $560. This is just based on the feature and feel of the phone vs what I already own. If you were coming from a old phone by all means this is slightly better then the rest I mentioned but not $560 better.
Pros:
No pentile
No screen door effect (spaced pixels)
No Yellow Tint
No over colored greens and oranges
Fast web browser alive, I mean WOW! Flash sites run very well
NFC
Decent processor
Fastest download speed from Tmobile device yet
Very light
Nice feel in hand
Cons:
Defective screen (I had the pixelated, washed out /brushed steel stripes) the artifacts stay in the same place and is noticeable when I pull down the notification bar.
DPI is way to HIGH for such a resolution - Not bad but should be a option
Stutters 10% of the time
Car audio does not have the Voodoo punch from stock, not sure about later development or if a compatible chip is in there.
This phone did not blow me away but will offer it to my girlfriend over the sensation for the only reason being the GPS is terrible int he sensation and we use the navigation a lot and wanted to smash the sensation many times.
This phone is very close to being sent back but even if keeping this is being exchanged for a different screen.
Does any that bought from Tmobile have a perfect/good screen? If so please post pics.

This seems to be a pretty common, but then again we typically only hear from people who have this issue. I'm planning on heading back to the T-mobile store and compare my unit to their display models. Hopefully there will be a difference and convince an exchange.

This is my first Super AMOLED device so I'm not sure what to expect. I came from MyTouch4G before this and an SE x10i before that, and both fo them had LCD's iirc.
My friend has a Sprint GS2 and I got to compare them side by side. I noticed it's much less apparent on the Sprint one (Had to get up really close and carefully stare at it) so you almost cant tell, and when the brightness is up to about 30% it's just gone completely.
I tried to show him the lines I was talking about but he couldn't see them at all, and ended up calling me insane. So it's also the eye of the beholder.. so to speak. I don't have much evidence to go on other than what I'm seeing, and am fairly convinced it's hardware issue. I remember the MT4G had 2 different batch of screens where the viewing angles and vibrance was substantially different. This might be the same case, though I would expect more from "Super AMOLED Plus".

Based on the pictures someone posted, I find it unnerving that it's only one the right side of the screen.
It's almost as though it's hardware related in the sense that it has something to do with whatever is right beneath that part of the screen. Could it be heat related? The CPU being there? etc.
I don't remember seeing this on European GS2 when I played with it.
This is why even if the prime wasn't coming, I'd be hesitant to pick up the GS2 as the screen itself is a new line of manufacturing....and I'd rather let the first adopters deal with the imperfections while they work the kinks out in their manufacturing process.
I'm on my second SGS2 in two days. The first one was bad. Very bad. Defective screen: grey stripes, washed out colors. Extreme stuttering. Ok. Recieved my second one 3 hours ago. Great screen. Practically no stuttering.... until the first hard reboot. Bam! As bad as the first one except the screen. Laggy, choppy. Impossible to enjoy. Wtf????
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
I've noticed stuttering with the screen animations on. Once I turned them off, no problems. I've got the grey stripes, as well. If I keep my brightness around 50%, more or less, I don't really notice them. Debating on whether an exchange is in order.

just to be fair
Launcher Pro hasn't been performing well since Nexus S came out, and all the newer devices that came after it, like the original SGS2.
many other launchers are working way better/faster than Launcher Pro now
in other words Launcher Pro is kinda old school now, it needs to adapt to the new devices
Go Launcher EX. Same thing. Jumpy/choppy/laggy.

I posted this in the other vertical lines thread, but I'll post it here as well:
dksxmks said:
I just came back from the T-mobile store and I'm happy to say that the exchanged device is much better in terms of the vertical lines. I'm fairly convinced that it's the nature of these AMOLED displays, only some seem to be worse than others. My old device was at ~40% brightness and it's still pretty clearly visible. Now with this new one, I can go down to ~20% without even noticing it unless I reeeeaaaally stare into it.
Make sure you test it beforehand though. I checked 2 of their display models and they both had that problem. I lucked out with the new one they handed me at random.

ok thanks. I see it now and I will have to look at my phone closer to see if I have the problem. I hope not.
ive had no probs but no phone is 100% perfect
here is the desc to a video i put up .. any s2 owner (infact pda) owner should pay attention. .
the issues with the phone and How sprint is Recalling some of these will come in my next video Yes they are Recalling Units For Special Testing>>
Sprint Samsung Galaxy S2 Epic 4g Touch LCD LED Differences etc..
First off the reason i changed out phones.
the phone wouldn't call 911 or anyone else when it doesn’t feel like it.
When you dial 911 it should put the phone in E mode thus full Control and full power and high priority on network.
(ill post a video about that resolution)
In short it just dials hangs up and you do it again till it connects.
IE the transmitter is CRAP
This call failure issue has been going on since this phone came out. (When i got it) but just got worse and worse.
sprint corp sent me this phone not from telesales etc.. (watch the other video that is coming soon about the whys etc of the replacement phones. and you will find that funny as much as interesting.
This Video shows a few things.
there is a HUGE difference in Tolerances for LED and LCD Color Binning Thus the quality of display and photos are not similar from one e4gt to another.
also shows there is something funky about the Automatic Backlight. The Unit Going back dims the LCD to much and is slow to respond to light changes in the room. (this issue was on the China Made S2s not the Korea Made S2s i had 2 of the Koreas and not an issue i had 3 Chinas and there was the isssu.
Also shows the phone going back rebooted by itself (I have seen that before)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoQaj-AM9XY&hd=1
Are you using the phone in stock form? The 911 issue was fixed long ago.
Sent from my Galaxy S II, AOKP style.
wed all like to think/hope that 911 Fix wored.
yes stock rom all current updates applied.
My new phone (left)came from Sprint Corp Inside (like VIP fullfillment) as its ESN is one of the first (Even lower than the one i bought when this first came out)
IE this is stock at the corp office from initial shipment.
(confirmed it was shipped from VIP fullfillment at sprint corp)
right fone is from local store
corp wants my phones for testing and i wasnt going into store to swap so they just pushed a fone from corp LOL>>
the phone has a known issue of not wanting to initilize a outbound call thus you have to redial to get it to go threw
your phone would act like making call then fail out right at 0.01 0.0 seconds
The galaxy s2 has an amoled screen. So it doesn't have a backlight or an LCD a screen.
What are you trying to say here?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
ya when i was doing the video i was basically going over the color binning in lcd, amoled, plasma oled etc...
IE keeping it general. Yes i know these dont have LED backlight However they do still have color bining and so other phone users could understand the binning concept.
my goal here is to let others see that there is color bining and you can get way different screens and LEDs (on the back) that are not the same and can affect color rendering... on the display and recording (if led is to white or yellow )
more of a FYI than any thing else.

Man i been trying to tell people that some epics have extra warm orangish color.
I returned 2 black epics to amazon and echganged it for white one now my screen temperature is cool-white and not yellowish.
I am sure there is a difference in the brightness and color between the displays, but for the really drastic difference with the browser (more than the rest of the UI), you might want to look at the browser settings. That app has brightness settings independent of the brightness in settings for the rest of the UI.

It is fairly common (whether its Epic, Nexus, ET4G) to see inconsistent screens. There are some lemons here and there. Even if you look in the Nexus forum you will see people complaining about Voodoo color settings not looking good and such.

Nah,im trying to say that there was probably a batch of about 1000-10000 defective black epics on amazon,so i figured i take my chances with white one and glad i did because screen is normal and looks better than black one
I remember i had same issue with iphone 3gs,my screen was yellowish and colors looked washed out.So i trade it in for another one and another one.Then reps at apple store pulled some out and they was yellow too.So they was trying to tell me that they are all like that,so i told them to look at phones they had on display,display iphones where all normal.So sense everything they had in stock was with defective yellow screen and people who was buying them just didnt know any better,they had to give me a refund.

Could someone please describe what the screen flicker means?
I don't have any of the hardware issues but I do have one problem. On very low brightness when I scroll in apps (like when reading an article in pulse) i get a very faint change in the brightness of the screen. It's like it goes a litter dimmer and then gets bright again. Happens everytime I scroll at low brightness. Is this the screen flicker people talk about?
I also get a few jagged lines on the screen, but that happens *VERY* rarely. I don't even know a way of reproducing them.
Would you say I have a faulty set? Or is mine fine and these issues should be fixed by an update. I'm still on 1.26. 1.28 hasn't yet rolled out in India.

our screen flicker is really when the backlight is flashing very fast, mostly in grey areas of the screen. best you see it when viewing the standard picture in the "camera shots" folder, the one with the snowplains and the sun.
my screen flickers like crazy there around the sun.
if you have it, you will notice it there

the only thing wich fails is the screen, wich will flicker after some use. this will somehow get fix'd, doesn't matter if it's software sided or hardware
if it's software sided we will get a fix, else we can all exchange our device for a non flickering one..

Hi,
I know there are number of threads about the problems of HTC One X and sorry for creating another one.
But I want to know about people who has been using it for more than couple of weeks (because this problem comes after using it for a while) and have not had the wifi issue.
So if you have been using it for more than couple of weeks, could you please share your wifi experience and also the phone version number, which is the first five digits of the serial number (HTxx, SHxx), so we can see if this is a problem only found in earlier stock and whether HTC has fixed the problem
Update: I added a poll. If you can vote your choice we can all see how much of the HOX is actually giving problems.
Thank you.
Had my first one for 3 weeks before a yellow spot appeared and I had to return it. Wifi and everything else was fine. HT24.

I meant apart from the screen having a yellow spot everything else was fine. The screen definitely had a lamination problem defect thing.
Oh and my SH24 feels like a much better build. My only problem is that it has one of the white screens

I used to prefer it but since I read your post about yellow screens having better colour gradients I don't know anymore lol
Still, its better than having a yellow blob on my screen right?

both are great, i got used to loving the white now, especially on auto brightness all the time
but yes if i had to choose yellow it is but its not a in anyway a deal breaker
Thank you guys.
Since we are hearing mostly about the defected HTC One X, it would be good to know about people who has not had any problems too.
I'm still on my 1st phone had it since launch

I have the HT23 (since the release), and almost no problems so far.
I only have a rare issue of the phone booting when it's turned off while charging.
had my HOX since launch day. no problems!!
dropped it after two weeks and smashed the screen.
before dropping, the screen flickered a little. after repair, the screen flickered A LOT. to the point where whatever colour, brightness etc you could see it. software 1.29.xxx.11 fixed it - no flicker what so ever!!!
I also have a flawless one, no screen flicker,no yellow spots or anything
Wow.
I didnt expect to hear from so many positive HOX users since I have been consistently hearing about peoples complaints of the HOX.
Thank you for the reply guys. It would be very helpful if you can mention the HW version number too.
First one developed yellow spot after two weeks, this replacement has no problems (other than slightly weak BT compared to my old Xperia).
Also this replacement runs a lot cooler than my old one. I think the yellow spot is partially caused by overheating so I'm hopeful that this new one doesn't develop any.

I got my One X on launch day in the UK, and not had a single issue with it.
One thing to remember is that the vast majority of the public will not actively praise something, yet those with issues will criticize it.
I was once told by some PR guru that those who have a negative experience will tell around 15 people about it, those who have a positive one will only tell around 3. With the advent of the internet and social media those numbers have escalated.
I've had my One X for about a week now. No issues whatsoever.
Hey there guys.
I picked my Verizion LG G3 a couple days ago. Overall I really like the phone. Love the camera, the design, screen size, ect.
There is however one thing that is driving me NUTS... The effing screen. The one main selling point of the phone seems to be its main downfall. Yes, the Quad HD resolution looks sharp sometimes. There is very aggressive screen sharpening going on with the display though. It is especially noticible in Black test with "off white" backgrounds. Its easy to notice in the Play Store looking at the text and then pulling down the notification shade slightly. That darkens the background a little and brings out the sharpening a whole lot.
I know this issue has been touched on before in other posts, but I've yet to find some particular information...
I've yet to see if anyone has noticed weather this is something affecting ALL G3 models... Because i have seen posts where people are claiming to not see this effect at all.. and then others that do. I'm curious if there is some correlation between the types of G3's that seem to be affected by this, or if it is just on all G3's and people that cant see it just have bad vision to begin with.
Also, has anyone been able to get any sort of response to LG about this yet? I've emailed them, live chatted, and phoned them with no luck. The live chat rep was the most useful and told me that he would try to get the information as far up the ladder as he could and would reach out to me when he hears back.
This is so frustrating to me. It's like buying a brand new Ferrari and having a big scratch on the door. The phone is so great, but this text sharpening is making me really dislike reading on the device, and just looking at the screen in general. I know others have already returned their devices because of this, but i'm really hoping LG would be able to come out with some sort of software update to be able to turn it off. Thats the shred of hope i'm holding on to at this point.
Does anyone have any further information about this yet?

Insane.

Yes I knew about that already. It gives better contrast and colors but that doesn't really help the problem. It's like spraying perfume on a pile of dog $hit.

Still looks awful. lol
Yeah. It's more of a placebo effect if anything... But hasn't anyone here complained about it to LG yet? They're only gonna do something about it if enough people show dissatisfaction

PREACH! It only happens on some items. Its like things are compressed oddly. Anyone know if its software or a screen thing?
It has to be software. Just has to. But it's most noticible with black text on an "off white" background. The black letters have a white glow to them. Like I said above if you look at text in the play store and then start to pull down the notification shade slowly, you can really notice it then.

My play store looks atrocious!!!
For the more technologically sound people on here, what is it that's enabling the text sharpening? Is it kernel stuff or could it be fixed with an xposed module or just an app? In other words, why has no one addressed this yet? There's G3 Tweaks Box but nothing in there regarding the sharpening.
From the research I've been doing on the issue it appears it's kernel level stuff. I am by no means an expert on it. What pisses me off about this is why more people aren't complaining and getting LG to do something about it. At least respond to their customers about an issue with their product.
But if we can't get LG to acknowledge the problem or address it, then we need to start getting people to make some ROMS and address it in our own way.

Verizon VS985 here and this issue bugs the crap out of me. Some web-pages the entirety of the text is "sharpened" but I do agree, it mostly happens with black text on an off-white background.
Testing using the PlayStore and the Notification shade shows it off but not quite to the degree that I've seen on some pages.

You need recovery and a unlocked boatloader for that and it could be a while....Sprint doesn't even have root yet

@p2im0 yeah I've seen it even worse than that too. That just seemed to be an easy example to use. Ahhh LG. You ruined a great screen.

I just wait for the community support, i think a modded kernel will fix that...
I have this phone for over 2 weeks now and i can barely notice this problem compared to the first time with the phone...
Sent from from my LG-D855
Yeah. I hear ya. Still bothers me and I've had it for about 4 days now. I wish I knew how to do that stuff with kernels and all that. I'd be working on a fix right this second.
