I have two Diamonds - one for myself and one for my girlfriend (not one for the finger though!)
I got mine from Expansys and it is a HK grey import.
Hers is from DeviceWire and is a pukka UK device.
Both now run the latest 137.x ROM
On the Expansys device the default Home screen looks fine. The clock and background graphics are sharp and the screen looks 'rich'.
On the new UK device from DevideWire the clock is washed out - The numbers are not all black but are graded slightly white so they look like things are too bright or the contrast is out. Also any grey is washed a very white grey indeed and it doesn't look quite right. I am not sure whether a screenshot is that helpful for people to view but I will put some up in the next 48 hours.
Can anyone else do a comparison?
Is there some way of controlling the contrast on the devices?
All the best,
Sam.
Picture for comparison
All,
I have attached an image of 2 Diamonds.
The one on the left of the picture is the DeviceWire UK PDA and the one of the left is an Expansys HK import.
Has anyone else seen the difference in the display?
Regards,
Sam.
You can only adjust the backlight. (deselect the autmatic backlight adjustment) Maybe this helps?
Oh my word, thats a massive difference, I can see why you're concerned. Just make sure the girlfriend gets the good one or there'll be trouble
Rory
shucks... that is a massive difference... are you sure your backlight settings are the same?? auto backlight on or off??
Maybe HTC used different LCD suppliers for different batches of the product?
thanks for people taking an interest.
The difference has nothing to with backlight settings. it's more a contrast issue.
Everything is far more washed than it shouuld be...as an example in comms manager it is nearly impossible to read greyed out text.
can anyone post a screenshot of a genuine uk device , say from devicewire, for me to compare with?
thanks,
Sam
i saw a gamma correction key into the registry. search it and
try to modify it. dont forget to softreset after changing values.
i hope it works
For PianoSam
Hello,
Try this one :
Flash it with the proper rom and after if its the same result.
Send it for repair its probleme with LCD.
@+++
Again thank you for your interest.
I spent the morning walking through the registry and trying to identify a way of improving the display. I couldn't find one.
I looked at the Gamma setting and reduced it from 1500 to 700 but this made no noticeable difference.
Both devices are running the same ROM the UK devices are running their default 1.37 10th June ROM and the HK devices have been upgraded to the same.
Logically, it must be a screen problem.
I will be calling DeviceWire and asking them to take a look at this asap. Can someone with a UK ROM perhaps post a picture of their home screen so I can compare it with my own?
Thanks,
Sam.
Hello guys,
I don't post many threads with problems, but for this one i can't find any answer and this one seems really weird, cause it occurs ONLY on any version of 6.1.
So I have really bizzare screen alignment problem.
Sometimes when i tap screen with finger or stylus - it will tap not in the point where i want but about 4-7mm under the point. It never goes above the point - always under it. Sometimes it occurs time to time, but sometimes without stop. I don't know what's wrong.
I've tried different SPL's and Radios. I've done really really really many configurations with ROM+SPL+RADIO and nothing seems to resolve that problem.
This only occurs on 6.1 for me(every one). NEVER HAPPENED ON 6.0 ROM. Any.
Anyone have any suggestions? Is this a hardware problem? If so why i don't occurs in 6.0? If its software related, how to get rid of this?
Thanks,
Chris

I've done it already. I've played with every setting known by me.
Still doesnt work. I just flashed to 6.0. And again - there is no such issue.
Thanks for suggestion!
woot I'm no longer the only one with this! i set my sensitivity settings to Normal on kaiser tweak it's the best at reducing the frequency i can get it so far haven't found a 'fix' kinda given up only hope if t-mobile uk release their damn 6.1 rom so i can try and see if i can get the phone fixed or replaced via warranty. also it seems the problem is with the device not the roms im currently on the t-mobile 6.0 its has the same problem more noticeable when i set sensitivity > normal in kaiser tweak.
EDIT: something I've noticed is that maybe the sensitive part has moved away from the screen right now when at an angle i can see a 'large effect zone' like holding it towards the PC screen the tapping with a stylus and seeing the distortion of the reflection i would estimate it to be about 2 cm in radius from the point i touch the screen (maybe this is normal, people who don't have this problem see it you can see this) but I've seen it worse especially after taking it out of my pocket at the end of the day so i think heat my have damaged touch part causing it to expand and detach that would be body heat or heat from when the devices sometimes overheats when plugged in, anyway thats the only theory i can come up with

Thanks Infuruno for your suggestion. I think you have a good point in that disortion but there is one big difference in our problem, and I don't know why.
Its the WM version. Now I'm runnig 6.0 without any problem. Even if I want to do this - it never occurs. And I mean never!. I don't know what's wrong here
Anyway I'll soon try to buy the touch screen for Kaiser and change it.
Cheers,
Chris
6.0 seemed to have sensitivity set on normal by default while the 6.1 by default the sensitivity is set of high (> normal) at least looking at the official t-mobile 6.0 and every other 6.1 rom i've tested, and the touch screen thing is just a theory i came up while well literally as i posted that message just started putting things i've seen together maybe if someone who didn't have the problem could see if they got distortion before you buy a new touch screen.
I just got my Tilt (I came from the Sprint Touch) and I've noticed the same thing. I never used a 6.0 ROM, the guy I bought it from already had a 6.1 ROM on it and I flashed it to HyperDragon's PRO III ROM when I got it.
I was used to my Sprint Touch and it had a 6.1 ROM on it as well and didn't have a problem. It is very annoying if I try to use an onscreen keyboard for those times that I don't want to pull out the other one.
Done more tests.
Today I've installed new HyperDragon III Pro (great ROM ) and I still got that issue. After that - flashed Dutty's V4 RTM (6.0) - and you know what? It works just perfect.
I don't know wtf is wrong with that.
What happens when you set the screen sensitivity to normal using kaiser tweak on a 6.1 rom?

Hmm, nothing at all.
I've tried that every time. That doesn't work on that
Thanks!
This just sucks ass.... I really don't know what to do. I just flashed HD III Pro, Its great ROM, and I cannot use it cause of this ****ing screen thing.
Flashed back to random 6.0 --- no problems. Damnit!
Same problem for me, very hard to make a call
Changing the sensitivity seems to have helped it some for me. I still notice it but its not as bad as it was before.
In KaiserTweak I have Sensitivity and Finger Pressure both set to Normal.

I've done really many tries with various options and various configurations before I posted the thread. Nothing - absolutely nothing seems to help.

I wonder then where is the problem? Maybe its a problem with some models of Kaiser?
I'm surprised there's not more people with this problem. Are you guys using an AT&T branded Tilt or HTC-branded, or other?
There's gotta be something in common with all of us.
What Hard-SPL version are you guys using that have the problem?
i have same problem
someday i flashed a new rom and i cant manage how to resolve this. i have that even on wm 6.0 roms. im setting up the sensitivity and it helps just locally, not fully at all. tried high sensitive on my friends kaiser and there is nothing worng with that.
i have tried many spls, but none of them seems to work
can anyone help with that?
i dont want to change my screen
ive tried many systems and spsl before, but never noticed this action.
please, somebody help with that.
I have an old Palm Tugsten T3 that started doing that, the way I fixed it was I went to the screen alignment page and clicked near the top of the bulls eye insted of the center of it, fixed it right up. try that and let me know how that works.
i now have the touch hd for 3 weeks and i noticed a slight flickering in the touch flow interface. there is a grey area on the top of the screen (where it says mail and wheather etc) and when you look at it i see a slight flickering (only when you look closer (20-30 cm or closer). i tried turning of the auto adjust for the screen light but this doesn't work. also in a store i looked at another touch HD and noticed the same.
the strange thing is dat when i look at a full screen photo or just about any other aplication, then i don't see the flickering. so is this a defect or a software issue or something else??
anyone with the same experience and knows a solution. HTC won't respond to my e-mails
Screen Flicker
Hi,
Not sure if this is the correct section of the forum but seeing as someone has already started a thread regarding this. I have the same screen flickering issue! It's bugging me!!
i just did some research of my own, held 4 touch HD phones in my hands today, all with the exact same problem. so it is not a single defective phone if it is a defect, it might be a production error or a software problem.
(i know this problem doesn't belong here, i am new here and accidentally placed this topic here. sorry. don't know how to place it in the right place. maybe a forum moderator??)
just made a call with HTC Netherlands. the person on the phone also had an touch HD and spotted the same problem. he told me this was a new problem and he could only send it to HTC hoping that more people will report on the same problem and that they will start working on it.
he thought it had to do with the refress rate of the screen. i don't whink it is, as it only has this problem with certain teints of grey. (like in the touch flow interface)
Could you guys move your posts to an existing thread instead?

Hello i am sitting here rigjt next to a friend of mine and hiwt galaxy as a colder display. Like blue tinted. Mines is red tinted a lot which kinda bugs me.. I am using jm5 and he is on stock o2 rom. My device was bougth on amazon. His was bought on o2 germany...
HTML:
Any notoced the same thing? I know blue tint everyone has. But red??
have you check the display settings? Somewere in settings I remember there was a setting for the display "normal" "cold" "warm" if you set cold the screen went bluer and warm it was red. I just looked in my phone and i cant remember/find were i seen that setting
It could been when I put the phone is "service mode" by the way.....
It's in the video player app, supposably it keeps the setting for the whole phone though lol.
We tried it both on normal his screen ich much more blue than mine. Mine has a warm tint like rred. And exiting the app does not save the changes
the last resource alternative is to use factory reset all settings and data
then you can compare to see if it's a hardware thing, or a software thing.
Me and my best friend bought the Active 3 weeks ago and I'm noticing while I'm viewing with a white background a visible black box inside the screen when I'm outside in the sunlight.
I just looked at his today and I see the same thing. Does anyone else see this?
I've read reports of this before. I think it's just the structure of the screen. Since you can't see it unless you actively look for it, I wouldn't worry about it. AoN
