Colored username?

So today I noticed that my username turned blue, and i couldnt find anything using the search term "colored username" nor "blue username". First I thought it was because of RT, but I then compared to some other RTs (which was grey), so that wasnt the case.
I'm confused, sorry for this silly question!
edit: so i noticed some are blue and some not

RC's got Green today too.

The usernames for Admins, Mods, RC/RT have all changed, all thanks to PG101 for asking svetius a few times to change them.

Maybe it's going to take the database a while to update, at a guess.

Yes...all RTs are now blue, RCs are green. Those that are still gray should be changed once the database updates.

Firstly thanks for changing the colours, and thanks for the heads up about the database.
I have also heard that if you Delete cache and cookies in your browser, this might fix it for some.

It's actually memcache but I'll give you a pass

No one ever stated that? To me it seems just like a fun thing, kinda neutral on this one (except that I'm not very in fond of the italic part xD)

Time to Swap Again?

Dead pixel? Stuck pixel? Something else? Time to return? *sadface* The other stuff are bubbles from my crappy screen protector. Also it doesn't stick one color. Can't see it on black, but on green it's greenish, blue it's bluish red etc.

Did they replace that part or the entire phone? The digitizer has no light producing parts. I think that was a hot spot in your back light to be honest.

Brand new phone at the store. I thought it was a hot spot/pixel but screen was fully black when off. Usually hot pixel still shows. Either way not sure what happened to it exactly.

Hmm guess that article was wrong hah. I've delt with dead/stuck pixels before guess that's the first hot spot. Either way I only had the device for 3-4 days before it happened.

verizon replacement for pink/purple hue

i will check to see what kind of replacement they send me.
my current version has hboot that is still not unlocked and pink and purple hue. i might as well take the risk.
i am hoping for the lower hboot and no camera issue, wish me luck.
this post is just to show you guys what happens from using verizon.

Good luck! Last Blue one I got from VZW still had 4.2.2 and exploitable bootloader. But a nice dead pixel on the screen and jagged edges and huge ass gaps.

How in the world did you manage to get a blue one from verizon? And what do you mean by jagged edges? You mean on the body?
Huge gaps from where?

I have the blue BB version so they have replacements for them as well. The lower right hand corner has a big ass gap and you can feel the jagged edge when you run your finger along it. Also the screen and bottom grill has a big ass gap you can stand a playing card up in it trololol.

The build date for the device was back in sep 13. I don't remember when the lawsuit went through for the infringement.

All the best :good:

Use this http://219.80.249.25/IMEIQuery/IMEIQuery.aspx?ct=zh-CN and you can see your build date. The Blue HTC One's I got from Verizon were built on 9/25/13. Month later than the one I got from Best Buy. Seems the blue ones are phones set aside by the manufacturer for warranty exchanges I think.
Left one is from Verizon right is Best Buy. Bit yellowish on the screen from Verizon but people are saying that will go away as it can be attributed to the adhesive. There seems to be no difference in games and videos for coloration.

Metalic points back of the case

Hi,
Does somebody know what are the two metalic points in the back of the case ? Never found anything about that.

No, I wont ! but it would have been a good idea for some docking station or additional battery connection, don't you think ?
Well, it doesn't seems to be ! How does that work with the cover ? Magnetic ?

The samsung cover clips to those back buttons in the back. Theres a megnet inside of the tab s too i think. I dont know why they had to do that but it has to do something with the design

I have the original Samsung case, its not magnetic, it clicks like a button (needs some pretty force). The back can be folded halfway, so the tab stays attached to half of the case. The beauty (i think) is that the tab is not IN the case, but lies on it.

There is a magnetic switch in the 10.5. I have a Logitech keyboard case and when you close it, leaving the tab on, it will turn off the screen.
I think the switch is somewhere around the lower right corner (facing the screen) but it's on the back side about 1/2 inch from the right and about 1 inch from the bottom. Wave a weak magnet in that area and you'll find it. Like the tip of a magnetized screw driver.

Screen issues

SO only after having my T705Y for only a couple days, not even a week that there are 2 black spots on the screen. No idea where these came from. My tablet has always had a case and screen protector on it so could this be factory defective? Should I return it and get a refund?

Have you tried a simple reset to factory settings, have you flashed or rooted your tablet.
John.

I think your screen is defective. The black parts are the normal parts. There is a thread somewhere on the forum regarding the problem.

My tablet is running a version of CyanogenMod 12.1 and i'm trying to download the stock firmware to set it back to factory so maybe I can return it.

So the black parts are normal and the other parts of the screen are defective? Do you have a link to the thread? Thank you.

So here's a clearer photo

So I've read that this is known as the Mura effect and every OLED type panel has it. SO should I return it in the hope that the one they exchange it for has a better screen?

So 2 of my friends have the same tablet and they have the same problem. I also went to the store to exchange it and they let me look at the screen before I choose one and they also have the same problem. So this is something related to alot of the tab s 8.4.

I'm just gonna stick with it. Until it becomes obsolete. Its only noticeable on greyish screens.

Seems like there's a lot that can go wrong with this screen. Now i'm worried of Burn in on my screen but My brightness is always at 50%
