Have anyone had trouble with clouding on the 2014 edition? just got one realy cheap but i can realy see clouding when the screen is black. MIGHT be a reason its was cheap though.
There is some clouding, especially along the bottom, and there in the edges. Normally not noticeable, except in the tips of the edges, where u can see it even with a white background. Anything worse than that may come from bending or pressing the Note.

Hello!
I was just wondering if the owners of the white version of the Motorola Defy
could tell me if they have had any problems with the white part being prone to dirt?
Or is it still looking as new? Is there any easy way to clean it?
I picked up my old white sony PSP today and noticed that the back part (which is not glossy) had some slight yellowish color to it even though I havent used it very often. I figured a white defy might get "dirty" alot easier since I'd pick it up alot more often than a PSP.
Also, is the white part made of some kind of rubber material or is it all hard plastic like the psp?
In short, is this something to worry about? Did anyone here take this into consideration when choosing between a black vs a white one?
I would think that at least some of you chose this one since you perform some kind of "dirty work" (you know, like construction of something)?
Kind of a funny color choice by Motorola then, for a "rugged" device I mean...
I didn't notice any yellowish color on my 6 months old Defy, I think this phone is too new for that kind of dirt. Cleaning is no problem: just take it into the bath. Keep in mind, that the side border around the screen is kind of rubbered on the white model, meanwhile the black ones have some shiny coating, which isn't so resistant. I prefer the white one, looks way better.

totally agree. White is simple cool I mean there is not a single mark of dirt on after 4 months of serious rough use., and it doesnt have any shiny part excep the display. So the grip in hand is quite good. and i have to admit i am a man of black and white(not only for desy, i love that color combination on anything)!
Hey all,
Just curious how many of you received your Note 3's (or older phones) and noticed any OLED display defects? Specifically, if you see any "stuck" red/green/blue pixels? My last two OLED phones (SGS1, and SGS3) were perfect ('cept for SGS1 burn-in), but I just noticed that my Note3 has tiny red pixel splotches all over.
When I first got my Note3 about a month ago, the first thing I did before I even turned it on the first time was slap on a cheap (Spigen) screen protector. I was wearing a red long-sleeve shirt at the time, so when I powered on the phone I was pissed to see what I thought were pieces of red lint from my shirt under the protector. I didn't care that much because I was planning on replacing the plastic protector with tempered glass anyway, annnndddd, I finally got around to doing that tonight, which is when I discovered that the red lint were actually display defects.
On a 100% white background image I can see one somewhat noticeable 0.5mm red splotch in the lower right corner, and then 8 other much smaller red dots spread out elsewhere. On most other backgrounds, it's barely noticeable, unless you know what to look for or have OCD.
I'm not anal enough to do a warranty return over this (though I know many of you out there are); I was just curious how common this minor problem might be? I know that the original Note had a problem with "crushed blacks", which was thankfully fixed, and that the Note 2 wasn't that bright compared to the Note 3, yada yada. Chasing perfection.
(On a good note, though, I did manage to apply my iloom tempered glass screen protector almost perfectly straight, and without any lint this time, thanks to the steamy shower room. LOVE the glass; never going back to tackier-feeling and greasier-looking plastic protectors, even though they're much cheaper)
Mine suffer from mura effect. It only show in compete dark room though.

Same here, my old SGSII had the same defect (even after several exchanges). I think all Samsung OLED displays have the mura defect except possibly for those few lucky lottery winners. I've learned to live with it, but I cringe every night I use it with the lights off. I hope they fix it at some point, I thought they would've by now.
Specifically, the spot is just left of mid-line and about a 1/3 of the way up from the bottom in portrait mode. If you have the wallpaper of the quill with the scribble (not the ink well), it is just to left of the quill tip. If I press on the corresponding spot on the back or flex the tablet from the sides a bit, a bright spot appears on lighter backgrounds (it doesn't show on dark backgrounds). A white background is back.
Ok, so everyone is going to say don't push or flex the tablet and I agree However, I bought the MoKo rotating case and when I snap it in firmly, this spot appears. I remove the tablet or loosen up the left side of the case, the spot disappears. The case appears to flex the tablet a bit, causing the display issue. I'm going to give another case a try, but MoKo is really the only rotating case, which I really liked.
Since the back of the tablet is "spongy" in this spot and allows it, I was trying to determine if this is a design issue with all of Note 8's or a manufacturing defect with mine. I went to a big box store to test, but they no longer have the Note 8's on display. However, all of the other Samsung tablet models have this issue in one spot or another. It seems Samsung has sacrificed sturdiness for a lower profile. So, I'm wondering if folks can help me determine if I should return this for another unit or deal with it.
I'd try flexing the cover's tabs some to see if I could alleviate the flexing... this is common on all tablets and phones since they are made to be as light as possible these days.
You might be able to heat the case holder with a hair dryer to make flexing/bending it easier.

I've seen this in mine. Definitely pressure flexing back plate pressure on the battery frame. The screws holding the battery will press from the back of the LCD and you'll see a bright dot. Relieve the flex/stress or the dot it permanently bruise.

DizzyDen,
Thanks for the suggestion. I did try flexing it back into shape, but to no avail.

dtvboy,
Thanks for confirming the issue. You are right, the spot does resemble the tip of a screw. I just received the fintie slim case and I no longer have the issue. I miss the rotating stand, but it's better than the distracting dot or damaging my tablet.
Chris
You could also try sanding the flat part of the rotating holder... anything to relieve the pressure it puts on the back of the Note... bending the corners forward on the holder might help as well.
So I went to Best Buy this evening after work to see if they had the Moto 360 in stock. I also wanted it see how it looks in person and whether it would look good on my small wrists (surprisingly it does). After initially thinking I wanted the silver, I compared it the black version for the heck of it. I came to the conclusion that it seems the silver version appears as if it is thicker than the black. The watch face of the black version's round edges are less pronounced due to the dark color and therefore make the watch's face look thinner. Anyone else agree? I think I am going to go with the black version due to this.

Yes that's what it is. Wondering if anyone agrees with me. Obviously the "thinner" version will look better on the wrist.

Ya I think the black appears smaller. That's why I went with that
I also noticed that the black light sensor housing is far less noticeable on the black watch them the steel. It just sort of blends with the rest of the watch body on the black.
Black is slimming, put this on and *poof* no more jellyrolls!
That's why I went with black, even in pics I thought it looked smaller. Plus I like black electronics
My screen seems to be showing a bit of warping right at the bottom of the screen near the back and home buttons, right on the edge of the screen. Not so much that you notice but it warps the light if you use the screen to reflect the world, and only in that spot. Bit disappointed considering its a totally flat piece of glass!
Anyone else got this issue? Might get onto three about it. I'll see if it's widespread first.
I'll try get a picture later, or video if I can.
Warped like raised wavy or warped like wrapped screen that goes downwards into it at the edge? If either of those makes sense..
I saw that when in 120hz mode, but it looked more like an intended effect to me. It wasn't unpleasant in my eyes.
Also seemed to only happen on long scrolling windows. Short scrolling I could not see it.
I would say it's a pinch under the glass, but the glass looks fine, just reflections of the surroundings in the glass so right where the back button is. It's definitely not lifting and looks flat, but the light dances and create an almost m shape. It's far from anything serious, as you need to look for it, but just something to keep an eye on for early adopters.
I don't think the screen refresh affects it, as I can recreate with screen off.
Got pics from the screen, using my **** ipad camera. But you can see the warp. The white shelf is flat, being a shelf, so you can see it shows as straight up the screen then at the bottom forms an m shape.

Huh, i can see what your on about.
Mine doesnt have that, so maybe your device has a defect.
