959 - Motorola Droid 3

Anyway to go back to the 959? I'm on 890. I've noticed some differences in another d3 in the house running the 959. Id like to see if its the software version.

The main one I noticed is my screen has a really bad blue tint in comparison to the other.

Took the pic of mine with the 959 one so the camera blue tint may b making it look worse than it is. So I did it differently. U can see the difference. Mine is on the right. And sorry about that blank post..fudged the buttons haha

This.
My replacement Droid 3 has a much brighter screen on it then my old one did.

Silly question, have you checked brightness settings?

Yup. I actually sent my replacement back, and kept my original which has a very tight slider. The replacements screen was blurry, and dull. Moto needs more quality control on the screens. I cant believe the varying differences.

Yeah both on auto brightness. But the difference is huge no matter what. The other looks much better in all conditions..oh well.

The screens are very different. I've noticed 2 drastically different types. One is blue tinted, and you can't see the grid pattern, but it ghosts badly. There's a more accurate screen with yellow-ish whites and it ghosts far less, but you can see an odd grid pattern and lines on the screen. My first 3 had the blue tinted screen. My 4th one right now has a very nice screen-it ghosts far less and colors are more accurate. But, everything has a noticeable grid pattern over it.

Interesting thank you

This is true, I have one with a more noticeable grid but better coloration.

My screen is all BLUE!

Well sort of. My phone has a really really blue tint to it. I'm not sure what it is but no reds nor yellow colors can't be seen. The yellow looks really green. As for the red it looks really dark red somewhat blackish. Tried replacing the amoled 3 times. Still same.

Try settings-> cyanogenmod-> interface-> render effect, and play about with the settings there.
I did that already. Lol its on no effect and its blue! I put it on night mode which is red. The screen turns super dark. Almost a black color.

I don't know anything else to do then, sorry
I know I ordered my 4th amoled display hopefully it works!
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
You ordered a 4th screen? It's obviously not the screen. But the controller or something else wrong with the hardware or just the connection to the screen itself.
The chances of the first replacement having the exact same problem is pretty low, but 3 screens all acting the exact same means the screen is working perfectly. Replacing it again will not fix it.
My original amoled display ribbon ripped so I ordered another from China. That's when it was blue. maybe its not original although it states it is

I ordered from different people. Of course I gotta refund when it didn't work. $50+ for display. No effing way!!

Light bleeding

Does anyone else have light bleeding on the edge of the bezel? Its only when the softkeys light up and its on the lower left hand side. Was just curious to see if im the only one. Its really noticeable at night.

I haven't personally noticed anything on mine.....I'll look again tonight though...

I noticed that early on a lot of folks confused the poorly-conceived background on the rosie for light leakage but I haven't heard a lot about it since then and I don't have what you're describing either.

Its definitely light shinning through the edge of the bezel. Cause if the lights for the softkeys turn off its not there anymore.

My bezel lighting does that to.

Are you going to exchange yours?

Well i am now because my screen when it slides up is tearing up the black/silver finish next to the keyboard

They all have light leakage from the bottom where the glass meets the bezel. The light is coming from the soft-keys. I have seen several D3's and they all have this issue to varying degrees.
have it here too. nothing too noticeable, but i did see it. really though, other than that (and the questionable battery cover), this thing is built just as solid as the D2, if not better.
Here too
I have a very minute amount of light leakage too, on my D3, at the bottom edge of the screen. I had the same issue, actually a lot more noticeable, on my Thunderbolt. This is a common issue with all phones that use capacitive menu buttons at the bottom. It varies in degrees, but is there on almost every piece I have seen at the local Verizon store.
Mine definitely does it; but to be completely honest, I think it looks kinda neat, so I've got no complaints.

How visible is your digitizer in the sun?

Mine is really noticeable, but I'm not sure what's normal. Took it to sprint and they claimed it was normal. Mine is pretty visible unless you are viewing dead on. It's almost distracting to the point I think I can see it indoors on white backgrounds. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Haven't used it outside much, but when I do it's better than ANY phone I have ever used outside!

Should I exchange my phone?

I got my one from best buy, last night I noticed that when the screen is on, on the lower left side part of the screen is a little brighter, it's about half inch in diameter, it seems like the screen is being pressed, bc if I press the screen myself a little lower, it goes away and the same thing happens where im currently pressing. The is also a small bright dot right in the middle of the screen, which also is only noticesable with s black background.
And last thing, I don't know if this is normal, but the touch screen is not accurate at all

All of that is normal. They actually made it like this as a selling point.
Jk. Not normal. Take it back. I have none of those issues.

Lol, I'm just wondering if they will exchange it since it's barely noticible if it's bright outside, and only with a black background, like when a YouTube video is loading or the app drawer

Be prepared to demonstrate the defect and be firm that you want an exchange...

It's screen bleed! It is a defect and if your within your 14 days they can't say no. Just say you'll return it if they dont

Different display temps?

Looks like not all N3 have the same display temps. I compared 2 different ones and one has a whiter white than the other. Is this the case or just me?

Not sure how to check that. Is there a setting or just a visual comparison?

Yes, it's possible. Also, if one is more yellow, it could also be the glue between the display and glass hasn't cured yet.

I guess just a visual but I prefer a whiter white than a off white display. I was hoping there's a setting but didn't see one.
