There's an app for that.
Search the market for "Magic 8 Ball"

That, or you could use the search function. This has been answered several times. I have done so at least twice.

my friend wants me to root her phone for her... she bought her phone int he beginning of october... i have searched and searched the DINC forums but i cannot find a clear way to tell if she has the Amoled or SLCD screen... i turned the phone on in the dark and there was no light until the white HTC screen came on... im assuming she has Amoled but i want to be 100% sure. she does not have the box that the phone came in... is there any other ways to tell?

What hardware version is the best.

Well I am taking back my white evo for the 2nd time now for the screen lifting and the back cover not really fitting right. They are going to let me go through all of them and find a solid one... think I will be getting the black one cuz all the white one have been built ****ty... my question is what hardware version should I get... they have a 0001 but I don't know if that is the old ****ty display? What version is easier to root...0001 0002 0003 0004? What is the deference between the 4...
Thanks

ive never even heard of a 0001, might be a pre release developer version
0004 will probably come with a 2.02 hboot which may cause some problems and you cant use some custom rom cameras
i have a 0003 evo and ive never had a single problem with it, 0002's are also pretty stable
Well I guess I'm not 100% its a 0001. I was told and read somewhere that on the box there was a 001,002,003,or a 004. But now after looking at my box it has a 003 but phone says hardware version 0004.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
i would say best overall would be 003, 0002 aint bad either, 0004 bad for rooting, 0001 if it exists, idk, anyway i have a novatek i believe

No offense, i think you have to research a little more lol, first with the 0001 and then the novatek 30 fps, the 30 fps was built into the stock kernal from htc, this is now fixed with the latest updates...both screens have 60 fps, well almost...

No more FPS cap, HTC removed it awhile ago.

Evo 4g screen discolored

Odd thing happened today. Twice today I woke my phone, the display turned on in a washed out/smeared green color. Cycling the power button fixed the display. I'm concerned that this telltale sign of hardware failure. Anyone seen this before?

funny you should mention this, today I turned on my screen and it was all red, turning it off and back on again fixed it. It kinda reminded me of the render function in CM 7

Droid Razr:Same screen, same issues!!

I was just looking through the Droid Razr forum just checking things out, and came across a few complaints about screen blotches and lines when displaying black/dark images, in low lit conditions... what is going on with these Super AMOLED Plus displays? And why just the t989 and Razr??

I wouldn't be surprised if the blotches and lines are on HTC phones. You'll probably won't see it. Samsung might have set auto brightness too ridiculously low. twenty percent is about the lowest HTC phones can go. I think someone said in a review galaxy nexus suffers from the same problem. Also we seem to get the best end of the stick. Because the Droid razor has the problem the worst.

Either I don't have this issue, or my eyesight is getting really bad. I tried the low light test, and did not see red lines or blotchiness. Think this is just affecting a portion of the panels?

no offense, but its probably the latter, cause i haven't seen any other devices that DONT have the issue, I've been through 3 myself, and have played with/inspected dozens..... If you dont have the issues, you've got the holy grail bro, hang onto it and be careful not to drop it on the screen, cause if they replace it, it will 99.9% be the blotchy one we all have. Although, i must say, my newest device also has the latest box date and the problem is the least noticeable ive had/seen yet.

Pics please! I'm not requesting this on hopes of proving those wrong who says they have the "perfect" display. Proof of this will help with narrowing down whether this is just "normal" within the way the manufacturer process these displays or it'll prove that there is an inconsistency with these display with certain sgs2 units, which basically will lead to be a defect.
I'm just sayin!
If there's actual proof showing that some Tmobile units do not suffer with these lines and blotches, this will be definite grounds on requesting samsung to fix this issue!
I'm just sayin!

Its in apx mode, full on brick. Needs a new motherboard or repaired by Acer.
The person who I got it from advised it has already had its motherboards replaced by acer... I don't believe they tried to root or flash anything... It belong to a middle-aged wife... Is there anything that could have caused this

Read through the brick thread, its exactly what happened to yours. In short, Acer uses a faulty memory module and it dies at random. Some say even out of warranty it may be possible to get Acer to repair it, the case needs elevated, but as you didn't originally purchase it, that wouldn't be particularly ethical, but worth a try if you want.
