To those who had an AMOLED screen (hardware version 002) and issued a replacement from Verizon:
Did they give you an AMOLED phone?
If so, how recent was this?
Also, did it have any issues?
Was it refurbished, or certified like-new?
I may have to look at getting my Inc replaced, but I sure as hell won't do it if I get an SLCD.
I just got my replace like 8 days ago.. I got a certified like new one... the only problem that I have is that I have no clue how to find out if I have a sLcd or a Amoled.. I know it should have a 002 number under the battery but honestly I dont see that in mine...
hope my info helps...
Note: I just check and I got a Amoled 002...

When I got my replacement last month they gave me another amoled. To be honest though, the colors sucked, white had a yellowish tint. Nothing a little calibration couldn't fix however.
I've had four of them replaced, all for blown speakers. The last two I asked them for an amoled. If you ask, they will send you which ever one you want.

I don't mean to hijack, but how do you calibrate the color of the screen? The last two replacements I got have had a yellow screen and it seems to have gotten better, but I think I just got used to it.
EDIT: to add useful info, I have had 3 replacements since last April, the most recent one being last week and all were amoled screens. My wife had one replaced too and it was also an amoled.
I had mine replaced a few weeks ago, and it's an AMOLED. I haven't had the color tint issues, but my power button is a little sketchy. :/
I also can't sign into Peep on this phone when running Skyraider, but my old phone didn't have problems with it. It doesn't seem like it'd be a hardware problem, but it's the only difference I can think of.
Alright, seems safe to get a refurb now. Thanks guys.
And I assume they're all refurbished units by now instead of certified like-new, whatever the difference would be.

There's not a difference. It's either that or you send yours back to HTC to have them repair/refurbish YOUR phone and wait for whatever their turnover period is to get it back to you. There might not even be any history on the replacement you got at all so stop worrying about whether it's refurbished or not.
Second point, if you originally purchased an AMOLED unit, and you need a replacement you will receive another AMOLED. If you purchased an SLCD version you'll get an SLCD replacement. We have different SKU's for both that are automatically populated in the order system.

Here is the thread I found it in:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745248
I can only vouch for ASOP however, I don't use a Sense rom so haven't tested it. Just download and flash calibrated-signed-42-Universal.zip. Then boot up and install Calibrator-5.1-Universal.apk. When you run that, you should be able to change each color calibration. It's pretty amazing, I was thrilled when I finally found it.
Got my replacement today.
Works perfectly. Also, it is AMOLED. Screen isn't "washed out" or anything either.
*edit*
Well, ****. It has ONE dead/permanently blue/cyan pixel in the middle of the bottom half of the screen.

I got my Evo about a month ago and thought it was strange that the vibrate was kinda weak, then later noticed the not so black purplish haze screen look. I talked to sprint about the nova and epson screen and they said go to your local store to see if you can trade it in...now i have rooted mine and did all this work to it and want to know if i should go trade it in or is this normal stuff? I dont want a new one with 2.2 already on it

I swapped mine out because I had the power button crack and dust under the screen, I also had a novatec screen that showed the verticle yellow lines REAL BAD.
My new one is the same HW version and screen type and has no power button crack or verticle yellow lines but has dust under the screen now just as bad as the last one.
IMO I would get as much mileage as you can out of that one, do some torture tests, whatever, and shell out $100 in 6 months for a new one. Thats my plan

HardWare Version
they are up to HW Version 003 now. At least I haven't seen any reports of 004 yet.
i dont really see the problems here. its known that the nova and epson screens have different color profiles and therefore different ideas on what "black" and "white" are. the accepted situation is that epson screens have a truer black but are washed out, whereas novas are more saturated and "black" shows up as "purple haze". its a personal preference which you prefer, i didnt notice the purple till it was pointed out.
the vibration on the phone is pretty pathetic. i dont notice it often when its in my pocket.
it all comes down to personal preference, if you've already put the work into having a phone the way you want, keep it. you might trade it in and be very unhappy with the epson screen.
the grass is always greener on the other side. if youre grass aint green, water it.
I just received a replacement phone in the mail and when I booted it up the white HTC Incredible logo screen seems to be pink compared to my other Dinc (slcd).
Maybe they sent an AMOLED, or is the screen just screwed up? When comparing an SLCD to an AMOLED model, is the screen of the AMOLED more of a pinkish hue??
If not, I have to call Asurion and let them know that this phone is junked. Has anyone compared the 2?

Pink? Like if you look at a white screen (even bootup) it's noticeably pink? I've had both the AMOLED and the SLCD. The difference between the 2 that I've found is that with the SLCD you can see the individual pixels and the colors don't seem as vivid. With the AMOLED colors are bright and you can't see the individual pixels. I can't say I noticed any differences in hue between the 2 screens.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it IS the SLCD, just a effed up one. That's TWO DUDS in a row that I've got from Asurion. The first one wouldn't connect to GPS and now this one obviously has a defective screen. I miss my original AMOLED Dinc....

You can check if its SLCD or AMOLED by checking the hardware version; settings -> about phone -> hardware information. If its 0002 its AMOLED, if its 0003 its SLCD.
Sent from my Droid Incredible running Myn's Warm Two Point Two RLS5.3.
thanks for that information... damn, the first phone they sent me was an AMOLED. I hope the next phone is too. But seriously, Asurion is sending out defective devices.

I just read that some of the AMOLED screens have a pink hue. Some more than others and some not at all. I guess it's up to you if you want to send it back though. I would.

Hi, I have my Defy for about a month and just now noticed 2 tiny stuck pixels of green/blue colour. They are actually visible only on black screen and in normal usage you can only find them if you know where they are, otherwise it only looks like a tiny particle of dust.
Since I only noticed it now it's too late for me to send it back
Have tried different software solutions and ran them over some nights, but nothing helped. So it seems they are permanent. I'm still on stock firwmare and havent flashed it yet.
It's sort of psychological thing... personally, I find it frustrating and it pisses me off because I know the problem is there and I have paid the full price for the phone to be perfect.
I was wondering how many of you experienced this and is there any chance that motorola would cover this problem under warrianty (in EU)?
My first Defy got a stuck pixel within the first week of me owning it. I phoned T-Mo and they sent me a replacement the next day. Before I did that though, I asked a T-Mo employee in one of their shops about it. He told me that if I couldn't get it sorted over the phone, to come back into the shop and they would help me get it replaced under warranty.
I don't really know how it all works but that was just my situation - hopefully it's of some use.
My defy that I just sold had two dead white pixels. One in the middle of the screen and one about the height of the volume rocker. Only visible on black screen though.

i have seen a bluish tint on my screen :/ i dont have insurance on my phone so i read that there is a way to get rid of it with a custom kernel i want to see if there's people with this problem fixed and how they fixed it?
I wouldn't think a kernel could solve this, it's a hardware related problem, not software. I've never heard of a blue tint per se, most commonly it's a yellow tint, but chances are it's a side effect of having an amoled panel. The technology in itself still is improving so this like this do happen to some phones. I believe it's a good trade off to have, admitted as amoled panels look so nice next to lcd led. If you've had your phone less than a year you can take it in for a replacement as it's under warranty

Lol i just said it's not a software issue, it's a hardware problem. If you've had your phone less than a year than I would take it in and get a replacement if the tint is really that bad

heh. I had a blue tint on my screen... after I dropped it sends broke the led screen...
of course I know me, so I have best buy insurance.
if it hasn't been dropped, unless you got you're phone on launch day you should bee able to take it back.
the problem trying to fix it with software, problems like that will just keep getting worse. take it back before your year does run out.
This is my first post to this website so forgive me if I am doing something wrong...
I looked at the M9 at a T-Mobile store Friday with every intention of leaving with one. The problem was the screen had a greenish tint. The sales person was trying to tell me that he didn't see it, but the store manager agreed with me. They wouldn't/couldn't open up another handset to check it.
I went to a second T-Mobile store and while it was a bit less obvious, that display phone also had the greenish tint. While it was most annoying when there was a white background (putting in the Messages page, for example), it as enough of an issue for me that I came home without a new phone.
For those who have already bought and received this phone, have you found this to be the case?
thank you

I haven't personally all seems fine at least to my eyes.
I have read from another user here, that it was present on his device but it settled down.
That's what I experienced also. The screen is much nicer after a "break-in" period.

I was hoping mine would be too, but after two weeks I can still see the green tint. This is really only thing still bugging me about the phone.

What happens in the phone by using it to make the greenish tint disappear?
It's probably the glue for the screen
