[Q] which kind of display does my incredible have?

i bought my Droid incredible just less then a month ago (early september), and i am wondering if my phone is using the AMOLED display or the new SLCD display. does any one know how to find out?

I believe if you turn off the phone and boot into recovery by holding down the Volume Down button while pressing Power, it will tell you in the stats at the top of the screen.
EDIT: Nvm, that just tells you the "Touch Panel" version/model. Not sure if you can identify it off of that.

They only recently started the switch to S-LCD. If you bought it a month ago, then you 99% have an AMOLED display.

You have an AMOLED screen,
They just started rolling the SLCD's out.
The SLCD SKU code is: (ADR6300VW3)

i was just looking through some on the settings on my device and i was at setting>about phone>phone identity and where it said my model number it said ADR6300, i just found this here so does this mean i am an SLCD screen?

The model number for all Incredibles are ADR6300. That's not indicative of whether you have an S-LCD of AMOLED screen.

ok so i found the box to my phone and the SKU number on mine is ADR6300VW2, so i guess that means it is an AMOLED screen and not slcd.
also does any one know what kind of screen is on the Droid 1? i thought the screen on the droid 1 looked much better than the screen on my incredible but it also drained the battery faster then the incredibles, which made me start to believe my incredible actually had the SLCD screens. but i guess i was wrong. i thought amoleds are supposed to look better than this? so far i am not impressed with the display on my new Droid incredible....

Hello I was just doing my usual XDA browsing and checked out your thread. I have had the AMOLED Inc for about a month now (bought it used for $100 after buying a Droid X for 300 so $400 for both). Anyways over this last month it has by far become my day to day device as it seems much quicker than my X or Droid 2 and the UI is much better than that buggy Moto skin. I ended up sending back my Droid 2 and ordered me a brand new Inc since I liked it so much. I really loved the screen on the Droid 2 (same as D1) and it was really clear. I have been using a Nexus One since March and a Samsung Captivate since launch before dumping ATT for Verizon (just got a great job at Verizon and get 50% off bill). Anyways the new Inc is SLCD and I have spent the last two days comparing the two. I have always been a huge fan of AMOLED and thought I would never use anything else. I thought for sure I would miss my AMOLED screen, but I have to say that the SLCD is better in my opinion. They both have their selling points, but the text is so much clearer as the SLCD doesn't use Pentile Matrix Pixel Arrangement (check out this link it tells all bout it http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/news...exus-ones-screen-science-color-and-hacks.ars/). The screen is not quite as bright but it is very hard to tell a difference in fact the only difference I can tell is in the blacks as they are true on AMOLEDs and make the screen really pop. Another thing I like about the SLCD is the fact that the whites are very bright and in AMOLED they seem to be a Gray color (do a search on the N1 XDA forums you will see that a dev has made great adjustments to that screen). The battery also seems to be quite a bit better on the SLCD and I even tried my old battery today to see if that is true.
I hope this all helps hit me up if you need anymore help or pics or something as I have been thinking of making a youtube vid comparing the two before I sell the AMOLED Inc.

Nokia's First WM7 Device

Looks like Nokia's first Windows Phone has been leaked by the CEO no less. It looks a lot like the recently announced N9, but no word on what the internal specs are. It will have to blow the current generation of phones out of the water for me to give up the Super AMOLED screen on my Focus.

i didn't see any windows buttons. In the video he didn't actually turn it on.
Who knows

yeah the lack of front 3 buttons was what I was wondering about as well.

Hmm can't get the full video to load, but it's about time we get a peak of a Nokia WP7 phone. Can't wait!

Here you go, enjoy

So does anyone know if this would work on Sprint if it had the same quadband CDMA radios as the meego version? Because I would buy this immediately, if that were the case.
PS - In the long version he turns it on, and another guy comes out and demoes it.

Thanks for the links.
Looking at this unreleased phone, and looking at the already released HTC sensation 4g. All I can say is, Microsoft is in deep ****.
Deep, deep, deep ****. SMFH.

Microsoft is in a very poor situation with regard to WP7, trying to push a new OS to a market which isn't exactly dying for one, needing hundreds of phones and friendly distribution, but the video doesn't make it any worse.

nokia nb66

Why were they still recording when he asked everyone to switch off their camera?

Should be more coming as well.

but the here's my question....will it have a FF camera? that's the only thing I want in my next windows phone and well mango too

That's.... kinda ugly at first glance.
I don't particularly enjoy the Nx designs. Sad to see them sticking with it for wp7.
ALTHOUGH I do like the boxiness aspect. I think rounded edges are old school, boxiness is a good thing design-wise.

sure haven't said:

Or, you could say that rounded phones are a case of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". Pulling a square-edged, boxy phone out of my pocket can be a real pain, but a phone that has nice rounded corners is not a problem at all.
And personally, boxy = ugly to me.

Hmm never thought of it that way. Would never have thought of that as I've never owned one without rounded edges.

I like it. I like the N9 and think this model would make a good WP7 device.

Yeah, the Sensation is aptly named. I would love to have one. But I can't see anything wrong with this WP7 Nokia device. Imagine it in some other colors.

Those on screen buttons are nasty looking, I can see myself now always accidentally hitting them trying to play a game or something. plz bring something else Nokia, because that is not what I want at all

Since they are on-screen buttons, they can be minimized or disappear altogether during a game or open app. This would completely eliminate the accidental press of these buttons.

[Q] Defect or not?

Hey everyone, I already used the search funtion, however I wasnt able to find a thread matching my problem.
I've got my 3rd HOX now, the first 2 were HT23.. - phones, both had that screen-flickering-problem. My 3rd one, a HT24 - version, doesn't have that problem at all, however there is some serious light bleeding on the bottom, you can see the the backlight - LEDs.. I've got some Photos for you:

As you can see, this is just quite annoying..
Does anyone of you has the same problem, is this normal, or should I get a replacement?
Thanks in advantage
EDIT: It may not look that annoying in the pictures, however, in reality, you can see these spots very, very well..

Does noone have this problem too?

Mine has none of that problem, mine is an ht23 as well, been faultless.
i would ask for a replacement.

My friend has had this issue. Get it replaced mate. I have a weird issue with a small yellow smear on the screen that seems to be fading. Phone is perfect apart from this. You can only see it if you are on a white screen. Its weird.

Get this for bad, before my One X I replaced 3 Sony Xperia S phones and in the end they gave me a HTC One X that has a gsensor failure. This new one seems ok apart from the small yellow smear that seems to be fading. So I am happy now.
Smart phones really need better testing before release to be honest.

You're so right!
So I'll replace mine, however, I'm going to do it with some more intelligent timing.
I got my 3rd Unit from Amazon on April 27th. Due to Amazon's 30-Day replacement-rule, I can ask for a replacement till May 27th.
So if I get my replacement on May 25th or somewhat, chances of getting a May-Device, which should be "perfect" after 2 months of production with mistakes, are good..

I think you are making a very wise decision there, also with luck you may even have a newer firmware on it too.

M9 Phones have more than one type/brand of screen?

Hello everyone,
I've just jumped to M9 from my old, but still as hard as stone Sennie not even two weeks ago. And today I got another M9 for my gf. My phone is a Taiwan M9U model, and hers, which I got today is M9 shipped to Germany. And here the story began, I turned on the new phone -note that mine was new too- and realized that colors on the displays look different. There cannot such big difference of course as they have the same screen technology with same resolution and size. However, still, on the German one, whites are whiter, on the Taiwan model whites are a bit yellowish -not as much as amoleds- but still yellowish compared to the new one.. Overally, German M9 screen looks better than the Taiwan M9U.
Note: Both phones are stock, not touched, updated to the latest version, display temperature vs. everything default.
Here are some possible reasons for that problem:
1. I remember Sensation screens were produced by two different manufacturers, and they had slight color balance differences of course. So this is one of the possible reasons for this difference (could not check the Panel id, getting permission denied when I put dmesg command. Dont know if this way I can get the screen brand on these phones, this was how we did to get Sensation display model/brand).
2. Taiwan phone was manufactured within one of the first sets of M9 models, so it is one of the earliest M9 phones, while the German one is 5 months old HTC live support agent says. So the changes in the display colors may be due to changing materials or whatever in time.
3. Probably the worst one here: Screen gets yellowish in time as the phone gets a bit hot, though it has been only 12 days since I started using my M9.
I will try to provide photos later, as I need another camera to show that clearly.
I am sorry if this is mentioned in the forum before.

I don't have a direct link but this topic has already been discussed several times. Boot to download mode and enter the system info menu. The line with TP at the beginning tells you which touch panel is built into your phones. There are M9 with a synaptics touch panel and others with a maxim (or something like that) touch panel.

Thanks for the information. M9 has Synaptics touch controller, dont have any idea about the other brand you have. And synaptics manufactures LCD displays in this case?

Ah, my bad. I was in a hurry when I wrote my last post and mixed two things together. There are two touch panel versions and if I remember correctly the maxim one (or however it is called) had/has problems with some custom roms. Regarding the colours you might want to take a look at the following threads:

Guys, I got my M9 Silver today, and the antenna lines on back are black. Someone knows anything about that? Because the photos shows white antenna lines in the Silver.

The silver / gold and gold have white lines.
The gunmetal had black lines.
There were early testing units with black lines that never reached production.
You may have a fake, where did you purchase it from?

I bought from Aliexpress. The phone is working perfect. Only the problem is these lines. How can I know if is fake?
Here the link:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/HTC-...-core-RAM-3GB-Mobile-Phone-5/32555580492.html
It's a trusted seller. He said some units comes with black lines, that is normal. What do you think? He accept returns if I want.

Who else has backlight bleed?

There have been a few reports on Reddit of backlight bleed in demo units. Personally, one of my Raspberry Rose units has the backlight bleed (between the home and app switcher buttons, aka circle and square) and the other does not. I created a form to get an idea if this issue is widespread (like the G2x) or if maybe it's just an early batch problem or it's really not a problem and just a few flawed units. Please contribute to the form either way, the more data the better.
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1...FaGANnb1DlA_gATnM9EYXKxg/viewform?usp=sf_link

For reference, this is a bad case of the backlight bleed:

I have a slight bleed at bottom that I would never noticed without you pointing it out.

I have it as well right in between the circle and the square button...not cool for a brand new phone to have this problem right from the start...time to have Verizon send me a new one

Sorry! It's not noticeable on certain screens, seems like solid white/light gray is most prone to showing it. My G2x didn't have much bleed, but that had a whole class action lawsuit against it.

Light bleed is a complaint on a lot of devices even tv's.

I as well have the light bleed in that same exact spot. Yours looks a lot worse than mine though. To be honest, I think it's mainly an LG thing to have something slightly wrong with their displays. I've had their v10 and every flagship after that besides the v30 and they always had that slight light bleed issue

Yeah, but at least the V10/20 had a secondary backlight with a weird screen design to blame it on. I'd actually understand it more if the bleed on this one was around the notch, the bottom doesn't make much sense.

I think it does since the bottom is where all the ports are.

There's a tiny amount of backlight bleed on mine. Right at the bottom of the screen, just like in your picture. Just not nearly as bad. In fact, I didn't notice it until I went looking for it. Picked up a gray one from T-Mobile yesterday.

Just exchanged mine at TMobile. Exact location of bleed

Did it fix it?

I had a small mark at the exact same spot as the OP so I will be exchanging mine at Tmobile when they open in 2 hours.
In my experience, bleeding does spread over time. I am on Jump on Demand and will probably only keep this for less than 6 months but still, now that I have noticed the spot, it will drive me nuts.

Yep, new one is flawless

why is that more with the gray one ?

Well, thanks for that. Just realized I have one in the exact same spot, too. I don't think it will drive me nuts, but now I know it's there.

im on HK/SG set. my screen is perfect.. no such issue

I have the light bleed as well, I bought mine off craigslist and now I can't even walk into a store to exchange. So looks like I'm screwed and can't even exchange. And I don't know if LG will do anything if I contact them. They rejected my LG promise registration for 2nd year warranty since I didn't buy directly from an authorized retailer.

you should still have manufacturer warranty. you'll have to sent it into LG, but they'll have to fix it.
