LCD display - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I broke my digitizer and LCD display and bought the replacements via ebay. Both were "OEM" or whatever.
I replaced them, and the digitizer seems to have worse multitouch than before. I understand that it sucks, but my 2 points never used to get confused when they crossed axis, (or so I dont remember them getting confused).
But also, my LCD seems to have a pink hue to it. I definitely know mine did not have this before the break. I read over a lot of posts here and elsewhere about the pink hue problem. This doesn't appear to be a browser problem, but an actual hardware issue.
Should I return the LCD and get a replacement and hope that the other one I get will be regular, or are my odds slim to none. My previous one was NOT pink whatsoever. And this new one I noticed it right off the bat.

N1 screen isnt LCD... did you get an LCD or an AMOLED?

Well it's LCD with LED backlight. I believe the company I got it from off Ebay got the OEM product directly from Samsung.
It is the same as the one I had before. The part number on the display is the same as the one on my original cracked one, 60h00287-00p

So the colours are a lot more bland and the black isn't really black? You would most definitely know if you got an LCD, it would look ugly compared to what you had.

Are you SURE its an LCD? as andrew said, the nexus only has an AMOLED screen which is a completely different technology
if it is indeed an amoled, then you may have gotten an ATT nexus amoled which is known to have a purple/pink hue

Well what I'm saying is the p/n written on both displays are the same, both from samsung. Which means, yes, it is a AMOLED display.
I don't think it's a case of an "at&t" display being sent to me. My nexus one was for at&t, and I didn't have such pink issue. But this new display does.

well china sells a lot of fakes and they can match up stuff like that.....
and not all nexus display this kind of saturation. Do you have a picture so we can see the extent of the hue?

it doesn't show up much in pics.
but I think it's beginning to fade. I've been leaving the display up with a red color. and alternating through white and black.
Here's a pic I took. But again, it doesn't show up much in it.

nah its noticeable on the keyboard and borders. use if for a while and see if the screen conditions itself. that is the same hue i believe that some att users were mentioning

It's worse to the eye than in the photo though.
I'll see if it fixes itself.

hopefully it just needs to be broken in

At 100% brightness, the pink tink is barely noticeable.
Actually, anything above 50% brightness and it seems fine. It's when it gets lower than that, it starts to look pink

HTC Diamond Screen Contrast

Okay today i bought my US version Diamond from ebay, yeah i said it ebay, im just a poor man w, BUT! The first diamond i had was a UK version which i bought from Expansys 600 $ .
Now i seen many people have this problem the "yellow contrast tint" on the US Diamond, so i am writing this post to ask should i even bother contacting HTC, about the Yellow Tint? and would they fix it (Swap LCD screen out to a normal one), under warranty or even for money?
Or am i better off changing it myself with a replacement lcd screen from ebay or from any where else i can get my hands on one?
Also the reason this is a problem for me, seeing how some people can deal with it, its that the dullness of the screen actually hurts my eyes, seeing how i wear glasses.
Thank you in advance for any advice you may have for me.

Also my display has contrast yellow tint. (Italian Diamond)
The other, however, seems to have the contrast blue tint...
were you able to fix it? My screen has the same problem
hi
no fix htc wont help either and charges 163 to rep the screen so best bet is to buy a diam100 screen and rep it yourself
I supply HTC Touch Diamonds for my clients and set them up with software that we make here and I can safely say all new Diamonds have the yellow screen. We've tried to source them from several different locations, every one of the new ones has a yellow screen. The ones we get are mostly DIAM100's as well, so the model number doesn't dictate the screen tint. I've still got one of the original diamonds with the proper white screen and I'm glad I do as I can't stand the yellow ones.
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE just MAKE A CONTRAST PROGRAM FOR THIS PHONE!!! ITS SUCH A SHAME!!
I've got a US Diamond with a white screen, thankfully.

As far as I know, the underlying technology in the screen doesn't support it, so it'll be a tad pointless.
from what i was led to beleve from orange sum diamonds are made in china (the good ones) while some are made in taiwan for a portion of the price, these cheaply made ones are the ones with the screen tint issue!! i had to return my diamond a few times b4 i finally got a decent one lol

this is really a deal killer for me. i was about to buy a us version than read that us versions are prone to yellow screens but if this is true, even the euro versions are now all yellow!
I am glad to see this issue has been brought up. I've got 2 Diamonds from both regions as well, and can confirm this 100%. It was actually the first thing I noticed when powering on the American Diamond for the first time.
My only guess is that the American version is using a cheaper LCD, as the blacks looks more like washed out grays. The whites, are this off-white cream color, its just not healthy to look at. The backs of both my Diamonds are 'Made in Taiwan'.
So I'm sticking to the European Diamond as it looks a lot better, and I can easily live without 3G.
On the Left, European Diamond
On the Right, American Diamond
Brightness 100% on both:

I have a Vodafon UK version and days before a friend of mine got a diamond that the white was like you say "white cream"....
so you wrong saying that the european version have a cheap lcd. mine is colorfull and bright.
The same problem on my Diamond from Orange Romania.
Same probleme with my Diamond dressed in white ^^, but its not that bad as show on the photo, its only a little bit yellow.
i`m from romania and i buy a htc diamond from france , paris , and the screen its not yellow .... its white/blue .......

Which one is normal? The whiter one is from Sam's Club and the yellow one from Google. Google has always given the nexus devices a yellowish hue so I'm not sure..
My gnex is more yellow than both lol
Well I have to say, it sucks that you have a yellowy screen from google, but this is just the range of screens you will find in manufacturing. Would you have found it yellowy had you not had something to compare it to? Probably but it all comes from the same place... Asus. Google did not tune screens from Play store to be more yellow than that brick and mortar stores. I don't like that there are inferior screens out there, or defects in general. In a perfect world there would be NO defective units, but we don't live in a perfect world. Even the retina equipped iPad has yellow screens for some, etc. If you don't like it (I wouldn't!) please get an exchange! I would not accept that knowing that there are nice white screens out there. In fact, I went through 7 nexus S's and 2 galaxy nexus phones to get one with a screen that I could accept.
It's just a warmer white. Some will get a cooler white which is blueish. Just how displays end up. I know my rezound has a warmer white compared to my friends but I wouldn't call it a defect
Sent from my Rezound
I'm going crazy, each nexus 7 I've got have a defect:
Blinking screen, bleeding edge, colour defect :S
Check this, Franko Kernel r13 left, right stock 2min uptime. Both are C80 8gb from google.
I hate this, Too many replacements, what to do, replace again?
the one on the left is correct, the one on the right has washed out colors
It's yellow tint, screen works perfect, if yo compare both tablets you realized how bad the screen is :S
All my previous 2 replacement units have the yellow tint. My original one has normal white color.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Another one affected by yellow tint, in my case in a C80.
This is my second replace, first one was by a very minimal screen lift in the left side.
I'm surprised by the argument about "this is not a defect". We are talking about screens. In a TV/monitor it's unthinkable to ignore these artefacts, why we should do it in a touchscreen device??
Each one have a tolerance, but the fact is the fact. The screen works bad, maybe is related to calibration or maybe with a bad ensamble, but no one guarantee you that it doesn't going to worst.
If you want to have a device that is not optimal "out of the box", you accept a unnecesary risk.
both C80.
Latest 8gb 3 of them with yellow tint.
And here is me thinking the 'warmer' colours were normal on a N7.
Just realized how yellowish all the whites are on mine... and I thought everything is fine with this one.
It's amazing how fast and good can be a cheap 7inch tablet. But when so many have problems
Yellowish whites on IPS
Blueish whites on SAMOLED.
Poor quality controls made by asus

I think they use different screens - the one on the right is the 3G model. I bought one last week and returned it because of the screen tint. The replacement has the same problem. The device on the right is the 32GB WiFi version I bought three weeks ago. I'm going to return it again and confront customer support with this issue.

Lines in display a normal thing?

I got a moto X a week or so ago and have notice faint lines running mostly vertically but also horizontally in the display, mostly visible in solid grays and white. I did my research and know that this is an issue with the manufacturing process of this generation of AMOLED, but I'm wondering if this will be prevalent in every single moto x or if it's just that some are worse than others (worth an exchange?)? Coming from an HTC M8 on another carrier, the fact that these solid colors look so weird with the line running through them is very disappointing (otherwise I actually like the phone better). I'll post a picture when I get a chance.

I just filled my screen with white looking for these lines and couldn't find anything. Probably a defect. Contact Motorola.
Easiest ways see it is to download the LCD test app and display full screen gray. If you don't see it, then I definitely have an issue because it looks like a textured background rather than solid color.

Alright, thanks. Guess I'll be asking for a replacement.
Here are a few pics of my display for reference (hard to see on camera, but you can see cross-hatching in the lower area of the zoomed out pic and vertical lines in the close-up).

I found another forum describing it accurately as a linen-like appearance to the display rather than clear rendering. Very strange. In contact with Motorola now.

That's annoying. I may try to get one replacement to confirm this as I can't seem to find any display models locally anymore. I didn't like the display on my GS3 when I owned that and my latest foray back into amoled has been disappointing again.

screen comparison between 128gb and 64gb, not the same?

I recently got my 128gb, and returning the 64gb tomorrow, did some comparison on the screen, 128 on the left side.

Light bleeding on the camera at low light condition
Brighter on the 128gb(letft). Stripes are from the camera(glare)
Different display modes?
Takes a few hundred hours for the pixels to settle. In a month they both would probably look similar.

This. Make sure your display mode is set to the same setting on both devices.
Light bleed does suck though. I had that on pretty much every HTC device I've owned.

While this may sound crazy! This is normal (that there not exactly the same). While you might be able to keep comparing different S6 until you find a pair that "matches", or have the same screen brightness any random pick won't be the same...there are many factors and as simple as different build dates etc...
On the S6 now and have had every galaxy since the first one and several HTC's before. I always by in pairs (keep the wife upgraded) and have noticed this every single time and not just with the Samsung's. Just how it is.
Sent from my SM-G920T
Alright, thanks
This is 'normal'. I am on my 3rd S6 because the first two had that ugly pink tint to it. My 3rd phone not only has no pink tint, but also a really crisp white display. Compared to the previous phones, they were much more yellow.

I'm on my 3rd as well, no pink but it does have some green at the bottom sadly. It's not too noticeable, and I don't think I want to go through the hassle of getting a 4th replacement. There's a whole thread on it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/getting-replacement-s6-due-to-screen-t3074865
All the AMOLED displays for the S6 are going to have slightly different factory calibration on all profiles. So no two S6 displays are going to be the exact same.
There is no such thing as light bleed on AMOLED screens.

Exactly. Basic knowledge
AMOLED does not have a backlight, it lights up each individual pixel which is why you can have inky blacks, because it simply turns off those pixels, unlike LED screens that use a black image with a light behind it giving off a grayish background.

light sensor is different in the camera (more sensitive or uneven)
I noticed a change in my screen after installing a tmobile update. Originally there was a completely black screen on the lockscreen, but after the update it almost appeared that there was a sort of gradient almost representing a light bleed.

Uneven brightness/washout on display

I'm not really sure what to call this, because I've never seen it on an OLED screen before.
I have the T813 WiFi model.
Recently, I've noticed, when using sites or apps with a dark background (like XDA Labs), that my display's brightness is noticeably uneven. Holding it in landscape mode, with the home button on the right, the screen looks something like this:
Bottom left corner: normal, full dark colors
Top left and bottom right: coloring is alright, but not as good as the bottom left
Middle (vertically): noticeably brighter, sort of a strip of washed out color
Top right corner: the worst area, looks like the pixels were burned
Excluding the strip in the middle, this is a pretty even radial gradient from the bottom left.
I can't really take a picture of this, because it just won't show up. I just have to do my best to describe it. It's almost like the backlight is messed up, except that OLED doesn't use a backlight. The pixels toward the top right are just a lot brighter than the ones on the bottom left, so they look whiter or washed out. It's somewhat strange. I've seen a few burn tests of SAMOLED screens (so Samsung) and noticed they turn white when heated and tend not to restore. I do put this in a computer bag, but I don't know what could be in here that would cause enough heat near one corner to do this (the CPU is top left, which is alright in color).
Has anyone seen this before? Should I get a warranty replacement? Do I need to describe it better?
if it bother you that much, just do warranty replacement.
my friend did it for his T715, the new unit look slightly better
but of course still no 100% uniformity.
Here's how mine somewhat looks (intentionally raised brightness to better show the effect. My power button also seems to stick a bit sometimes.

Yeah. After further testing there's definitely something I don't like.
Using the Display Tester app in the Play Store, I set the 4-gradient test to use the same dark grey color across the screen (1A 18 1A). Results weren't pretty......

Hmm. I'm kind of glad to see it's probably not a defect, but also kind of annoyed that it's normal. It'd be great if someone else could say if they have the problem too.
I have something like this to. Its annoying but only really visible with greys. Its relatively common with AMOLED screens, my S6 edge+ has it as well, but only very faintly.
