Screen fault? Looks like 4 bit 16 colour display

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.

[Q] Can Someone Please Screen Capture Their Staus Bar -for anyone on O2 UK contract

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

Took the screen shot but can't upload it cus its a png file.. Soz

Tips on buying my first LED TV from Craigslist? Please share your knowledge?

Hi Friends,
Not a stranger to CL at all, have scored many-a-deals there, am aware of the necessary pre-cautions that come with CL and testing and buying a phone from there. But, for the first time I am thinking of picking up my first flat-screen TV from CL.
Before everyone throws in the red flags at once ! LOL! The guy, so far, from texts and etc sounds like a well versed professional in healthcare, much like myself. He is moving, and is not taking his TV with him, which he received in September as a birthday present. He's very responsive, organized, in that he set a specific time for meeting at his house to examine the TV. Much like myself, his terms are fair and upfront. He's talked about the minor aesthetic damage on the TV, and wants cash... He's even gone on to say that he prefers selling his items to people who are friendly and upfront on CL. All of these things actually are things that I do/have done while selling on CL myself. So, that's a bit about the seller.
Where I need your help is on... how to MAKE SURE and TEST and LED TV, since I know next to nothing about them, owning them, and etc?
Sample steps phone for a phone might look like this:
1. Turn on wifi, bluetooth, data, and GPS to make sure they work
2. Make a call
3. Turn on the speaker
4. Launch the camera
5. Take a picture, make a video
6. Play it back to hear the audio
7. Check the SD Card
and so on...
What would be the steps I need to follow when buying a used LED TV?
In case you are wondering the TV is: Sony Bravia KDL60EX723
Thank you for your help!

1. Turn on TV
2. Test audio and video
3. Test HDMI
4. Make sure there aren't any dead pixels
5. Test all the ports to make sure they're functional.
6. Ummm... Test the remote?

Check connections like AV and HDMI.
Check if screen has any defects like high or low colour saturation.
Ask for a bill or receipt too

Make sure there is no screen leaks

Before you buy it look at this from the same guy on CL. I think he is pulling something over on you.

[App] DaFox's Wallpaper App For Adroid

This is not your normal everyday wallpaper app for your phone. This is a collection of photographs taken by myself over the years. Each photo is very high resolution, most are 4000x6000 in size. These photos not only can be used for wallpapers on your phone, they can also be saved and printed out for your own use. At this moment, there is 300 images. I will be adding more as time goes by.
Please read this entire OP in full....

The best way to set a photo as your wallpaper is to save it to your device, and then crop it to your liking and applying it with your home screen launcher. After pressing the save icon, you may see "Something went wrong" pop-up, but ignore it. The photograph will still be saved, and can be found within your device's gallery. It is also possible to apply the photo as your wallpaper from within the application itself.
I also use Wallpaper Wizzardii to get the wall set how I like it. It has many option like scroll, no scroll, zoom etc. It also is on the Playstore. http://bit.ly/1xVC2cZ
Unfortunately, every phone or launcher will handle wallpapers differently, some zoom, some don't. It is not a flaw of this app.
Warning: It is recommended to only use this application while connected to WiFi, as it will consume data quickly with all the Hi-Res pictures. Also, if you are tight on storage space on your device, it may be necessary to clear the application's cache after a certain amount of time browsing the wallpapers.
There will not be many updates required for this application, because new photographs can be added instantaneously due to it being a cloud based app. If you have any issues, please feel free to email me, and I will try to help as quickly as possible.

Overall quality of the Note9

Hi all
I'm fairly new to XDA and this is my first post so go easy on me plz So i preordered the note9 and ever since i've had it i've had nothing but issues with the device. First, it was the camera unit buzzing and struggling to focus. I took it in to my nearest Samsung store and well... the overall ordeal was unpleasant. I was in and out of the Samsung store 4-5 times in a month and it took 10 days for them to come to a resolution, but thats not the point. After i had the phone repaired, 2 days later my S-Pen broke. I was taking it out and only the clicker part of the pen came out. Instead of taking it up with Samsung and wanting to avoid having to leave my phone at Samsung again for 'inspection' i decided to fork out the dough and purchase a replacement S-Pen. Now, my phone is exhibiting signs of either burn in or display uniformity. It is extremely visible, when displaying dark images and considering i use 'night mode' indefinitely its really hard to avoid. I even notice it in the Game launcher, notifications tab, settings menu, even in games and apps such as spotify or Youtube.
It really sucks having paid $1500AUD :crying: for a phone that severely lacks quality. I just wanted to know what your experience with the Note9 has been and if you're experiencing the same issues as me. What course of action should i take? I really want to demand a refund.

The only issue I have had so far is in relation to video calling. I'm not sure about the built in video calling, but when using FB Messenger or Google Duo, it is extremely poor quality, and eventually drops the call, disconnects data from the network and refuses to reconnect it for at least 15 minutes. Verizon can send diagnostics to the device and they say it still has a "background" data connection, but that doesn't really help me much. This has been occurring as long as I've had it. Even after flashing multiple OEM's, resetting things, etc. Only thing to do is have it replaced, but since the back has scratches now, it has to be through insurance. Other then that, there have been no problems.
