I noticed a dramatic drop in the display quality on my n1 the other day. Ive been searching for similar issue but found nothing like this problem.
It looks to me like when a pc has a default display driver & can only produce 16 colours. I took a few pics with a digi cam but they don't represent how bad it really looks in person. Skin tones appear to be the worst looking.
Ive tried to find a setting where I can force 16/24bit colours but no luck.
It was fine up until sometime this week, not sure what the deal is. I'm suspecting a display fault but hoping for a software fix.
I've uploaded some snapshots in the hope someone here has some insight & can offer any clues.
Cheers.
Looks like I cant post link to pics, Will ask moderators to fix this up asap.
Pictures please

wow thats weird are you running stock?
No, not stock.
Currently on FRF50. I loaded froyo on within a day or so of it being posted, so was fine for a few weeks up until this week.
I tried yesterday flashing back to a cyanogen rom I was using before this but still the same effect.
do you have to Froyo radio?
radio is 4.06.00.12_7
I would be surprised if its rom or radio related as it was fine for a few weeks as is until it went dodgy a few days ago.

then it must be your display, it might be damaged.
Yeah, not the answer I want to hear.
Will have call up support & see how painful the warranty process is from australia.
This might be a stupid question but is it only pictures you've taken with the nexus camera or system wide everywhere? Like if you have a wallpaper and scroll through your screens do the color blocks move with the screens our stay stagnant?

It is system wide. I can see it in wallpapers, backgrounds, icons, widgets etc. It moves with the screen when I move scroll.
Not much luck with local HTC support. They've told me I have to call HTC USA.
Missed their office hours by 40 mins this afternoon. Will try to get onto them again tomorrow.
Looking like it's going to be a costly warranty claim with freight Australia to US then Back to Australia.

Hi,
Very new to the forum, got my td2 from mobilephonesdirect, and have noticed a problem on the screen. when touch flow is running. Most noticibly on the web browser tab, the top half on the p in push page is missing. If i move the screen around i can get the whole white lines that split the sections on the page to disappear. I have ran the lcd test program and cannot see any problems.
Has any one got any ideas, is it a faulty screen or software problem.
Mine does the same, guess its a software problem

My one has similar situation. First row of 'Add a new Push Page' is slightly strange.
The first line of text is disappeared.

If you recall how crappy the original diamonds were when they first came out (Slow and almost unuseable) then it's almost to be expected from HTC. Firmware will hopefully come soon (month or so).
I would phone HTC immediately so they can get their development team on board with rectifying this.
The faster you get on the phone the sooner it will be fixed. There is a good chance that they don't even know about it....
thanks for the speedy replies, i thought i had bought a faulty one. The last htc phone i had was a tytn, this is much better, it runs extremeley fast and touch flo is superb.
I will contact htc and let them know.
Seems you guys did/might have bought faulty ones with either dead or stuck pixels :S Either way, bad news. That's why you always get the third batch that comes out Because third time's the charm

I know I am not helping with this post, but could you put up an image. please.

Rule #1. Don't ever give your phone to a pissed off person... exhibit A attached.
Instead of replacing it with a new Captivate I went with the HTC Aria.. maybe not the best choice, but I think it will do the trick. I like the size, and GPS actually works out of the box. I plan on frequenting the XDA Aria section.
I'll prob try to sell my busted up Captivate on eBay, for anyone that might have bricked their own phone. Other than the screen the phone seems to work without issue.

Damn that's quite a busted screen :-/

hope you had insurance.......
poor , poor cappy...
What's the problem? That'll buff right out!
Wow that pic made me almost cry!
It's like watching a snuff film D:
Edit for helpful-ish answer: Hope you were paying for the insurance =/ I don't know where you'd go about getting replacement glass, and standard manufacturer's warranty won't cover physical abuse like that
I have not yet rooted my Samsung Galaxy S sadly so I cannot do this myself. My PC is also broken so I cannot do much of anything at the moment.
I am basically after a simple screen capture of the standard status bar, including most importantly the UK English O2 network in it.
Basically like this (but perfect capture quality, not poor camera shot like mine ), the O2 instead of my T-Mobile network. So I can fool people into thinking I am on O2 basically when I show my phone, they wont know its a picture.

Hopefully it is a simple thing to do and it would really help me out I would usually just look about and find one such screen and edit it in photoshop to O2, but as my PC is playing up its a bit hard at the moment.
Thanks for looking and keep up the frankly amazing work, I love reading this place, but have yet to dip my toes into the actual forum. Guess this is as good a time as any to start.
J.P.
Is there something I have missed in this request?
Ahhh it is for priority cue jumping at O2 music events. I have an old never use anymore O2 Nokia phone and my new T-Mobile Galaxy S, so I have to take 2 phones to do the cue jumping at the moment.
If I just port over this screen to my Galaxy S, then I only have to show my Galaxy S screen.
Strange request I know, but it should save me a lot of time, and more importantly not needing to carry around two phones

OK, it makes sense. Not a bad idea.
I did hope there was an App out there that could change the Network to a new name, could not find one sadly. Mind you I may get more response if I asked that question as I think I worded this one a little oddly

Thanks, that is so kind of you.
I have messaged you with an email link if you would kindly send it to me.
I went into my local CPW yesterday to ask about the availability of the N4 this week, the girl I spoke to looked it up (big screen flashing up warning NOT to give customers any info and to keep stock in the back etc)
I asked if she could look up the price for SIM fee and she tried another approach, searching on the system for lg nexus 4, a simple screen popped up with the price for 2 nexus 4's.... now, unless my eyes deceived me, I saw one for "nexus 4" and one for "nexus 4 White" (both said £389.99 or similar)
Obviously as I wasn't looking for that info it didn't really sink in until a moment or two later so by that time the screen had been closed etc.... just wondering if anyone had seen anything similar? I don't want to cause any undue excitement, pant wetting etc but surely it's not beyond the realms of possibility? I had a quick search but couldn't see any mention of it...
Anybody? Maybe the o2 exclusivity thing has the white one as part of it?
I hate white phones so not interested, but one of you lot might be into it!
We will find out tomorrow I suppose, but you heard it here first eh!
(....probably been old news for a while or complete rubbish so slinks off to cry....)

Yeah there was a picture on Twitter a while back showing a CPW display that had both black and white options on it.

Ah, it's right enough then... I thought for a second I'd imagined it. I read that article too, must have been before the update with the white option.
Sorry for the pointless post then!

Hi, I have an ROG Phone II on Android 10 version 17.0240.2108.103, and a lot of my apps have blurry icons when I'm inside the apps for no apparent reason, almost like it's loading the wrong DPI for the icons. Snapchat, YouTube, Google maps, Facebook, Messenger, TikTok, and my Asus router app are all effected in some capacity. I attached screenshots of the apps I've noticed the issue in so far.. any ideas would be helpful. Deleting the apps and reinstalling them doesn't help

That's what my plan was, but I still don't have any OTA notification over a month after release.
I haven't looked much into updating manually, but it seems more complex than I'd like.
I'll be going for any other brand the next time I need a phone. This poor software support really sucks. I sent an inquiry about the headphone jack not functioning on the fan accessory when using the gamepad attachment, and never got anything useful back out of it.
My first Android phone was an Essential PH-1 and getting updates the same time as Pixel devices really spoiled me. Security updates were always current, as well. Much better experience overall, on a much more limited device.

Update: I dropped the . ZIP OTA file into root, and it fixed all the issues I was having.
It also removed a gesture I liked having to get to the app tray. "innovation" they call it.
Thanks for the suggestion though, I appreciate it! At least the icons look better now
