So a 0002 means amoled?

I'm pretty sure

It's pretty easy to tell by looking.
If text is slightly fuzzy and has coloured fringing, it's amoled. Also if you open a white screen, like those torch apps, you'd see a thin strip of colour at the very left and right edges of the screen.
If it's a nice cr+sp image, it's lcd.

Hardware version ending in a 2 is AMOLED, 3 is SLCD.
Cool, I got an slcd a week ago, then failed at rooting. So I traded in my slcd and got an amoled back 3 days ago. Amoled is much better then slcd for movement and color

I don't know if its sprint lovers Rom or all of them but I had to swap my phones through insurance. So the new one has a novatek screen and the other one has a Epson. The Epson was rooted and the nova was right out the box stock. The nova was much more vibrant and the Epson looked dull in comparison. Then I rooted the nova and unrooted the Epson to send it back. I put them side by side again and this time the nova was very dull and the Epson had become more vibrant then it was when it was running Sprint lovers. So I'm wondering if its this Rom that is causing the screen to dull down or is it just rooting the phone in general and is there a fix
how do you know if you have a nova or epson screen?

Simple way is to take the power control widget and click the brightness tab of it. If it fades to the next level of brightness then its nova, kind of like slowly dimming the lights with a knob. if it just changes without any fading in or out then its a epson

Have you checked your screen brightness settings? Different roms my have a different default setting to help battery life. This is just a suggestion.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Indeed I have...its definitely a difference in how vibrant the picture is
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
i dont think it has to do with brightness. They are set on default brightness to begin with but the colors seem to have a dulling effect. they dont look as sharp as they would before even if the brightness was all the way up. Like the whites become more bland and not a pure white. the blacks are soft and not as dark as they once were

... the two companys that makes evo screens are audiovox and sharp...
also it's easy to tell, the audiovox has a this cable and sharp a wide cable for the digitizer.
Edit: the LCD not the digitizer.
did u buy those screens off ebay or something? i just know they come from the factory with epson or nova unless there sub brands of those companys.
No, I work for a sprint service and.repair center, and those came directly from the phone manufacturer
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
All evos come stock with Epson screens in hardware 004 previous to this it was Epson or Nova
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Ware are you getting your info... The two screens have always been made by audiovox and sharp... The picture of the parts directly from HTC are right there.

Maybe they switched the LCD screen providers recently, but if you google for novatec vs epson...you'll find many comparisons discussing the screen differences in hw revision 002/003/004 that have these screens. This is a known fact throughout the community dating to last year's EVO release.
On topic of screen dullness, I'm on CM7 and everything looks fine to me. Provide some pics if this is the case. The devs do a great job providing us with custom roms, but if you're more interested in the "clarity"...stick with HTC/Sprint stock rom.
Well the parts for repairs have ALWAYS been sharp and audiovox

So I dropped my dinc on the sidewalk yesterday and cracked the screen really bad. is it really worth getTing the inc 2 got my insurance replacement. How much of an upgrade is it really from a inc because just looking at it from my angle it doesn't really look like much of an upgrade.

Without a doubt! I have an inc 1 which I just forward the number to my work phone (inc 2) and use the inc 1 as a dev phone.
Major upgrade in my opinion - speed, screen size, battery (with a good kernel), global capable, etc.
My dinc is an amoled screen... So the lcd of the dinc2 if actually better?

Yes everything is sharper and more crisp, the amoled screen makes everything look cartoony IMO. The LCD looks more professional, the screen itself is the perfect size, battery life is insane, and overall the Inc two is built way better than the first. The only thing I don't like is that the speaker volume is way lower than the og dinc.

It's a Super LCD screen, has more RAM than the inc 1, more room for the ROM. Faster processor and better GPU, and a bigger screen.
All around I'd say it's a much improved upgrade
Amazing phone, screen is nice, camera is pretty good, the phone is pretty fast, and as long as you tweak some settings your battery life will be awesome too. No root for it yet tho.

Just noticed on my phone earlier when i unlocked it that i hat a red dot near the bottom. Ran a pixel test i found on the market and it shows up on any background and my brightness setting doesn't affect it. Is there any way i can fix this?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Press hard on the screen where the stuck pixel is so the screen distorts in that area and hold for 10 or so seconds. Thats how ive done it for my lcd monitors and its worked.

That wouldn't work anyways cause the screen it under a hard glass cover. Also its not a true lcd screen its an oled screen

Maybe an app could be developed that uses the device gpu/cpu to mimic the effects of Pixel Tuneup?
I can't link because i'm new, but it's pixeltuneup[dot]com.
Just a thought. If this turns out to be a widespread issue, a simple app might be something people would pay a buck or two for. From what I understand, PT just puts out a calibrated video signal that is good at fixing pixel issues.
Ill have to give that a look and maybe contact the developer. Its not that bad of a problem but i always find myself staring at it lol

So does anyone else have a possible idea? I've looked all over Google recently and can't find much about fixing oled screens.

I supposed you've tried the screen calibrators that flash a whole bunch of colors. Thats would really be my only advice. If it doesn't work out a warranty replacement would be my last resort

Yea I've tried a few if those already and left each one run for about an hour. As for a replacement i wouldn't be able to do since i just got this one after my last one broke. Also I've have this phone for a little over one month or so :/

So why can't you get a replacement ? The phone is to be free of defects for a year, even if you already replaced it. Stuck pixels are a manufacturing defect which is covered under the warranty. If you got it in store, go back to the store. If you got it from 611 or online call the 1800 number and tell them.
Ah ok i see what you mean now. My next issue would be to find a stock 2.3.6 Rom

Before returning it tho try morfics trinity kernel and see what u think. Colors are awesome on that definitely changed my mind from returning this thing. And i know u shouldnt have to flash a kernel to get good colors but hey after all u are on a website that modifys android phones

When I got my Galaxy S3 I was suprised how much more white whites were on it than my GS2, you should definitely send it back and get it replaced. Whites should be white on this phone.
Go to settings, display, uncheck auto adjust screen tone.. It makes the screen/whites look much brighter..
