problem with my screen? 'colour gradient' on Diamond

Hey guys,
I've got a brand new HTC Touch Diamond. On certain screens in particular the Contacts, Messaging, SMS or the screen to select the Avatar for farvourite People, there seems to be a colour gradient on the screen in that the right portion of my screen is towards the grey shade wherelse the left portion is whiter in colour. Is this part of the theme or a standard feature or is this a defect on my unit?
The thing is I don't get this issue on the 'Align Screen' screen which has a similar white background, nor do I get this gradient on Program and Settings menus.
Could someone please help me confirm?
Thanks.
Cheers.

*bump*
Pls help???
I called HTC regarding this issue and they told me it's just part of the graphics theme but I'm not entirely convinced though...
Thanks.

You could try taking a screenshot and copy that to your computer. If the gradient appears there then its a part of the graphics in the theme.. But if it does not appear on the screenshot on the pc. then you can consider it as a failure.

I checked contacts (touchflo) -> all people (left softkey), and yeah there's a slight gradient from white to a very very light grey. (Going from left to right)

Thanks so much for the great help guys..... I'll take a screenshot later just to confirm the issue....

A simple test is, go to settings > today,...and change theme to Windows Mobile Default / Green. See if the light grey change to fade blue / green?
I can confirm 99.9% is the theme....
it is normal....

Thanks. Yes I've tried that before starting this thread. The gradient does follow the theme colour but I thought it was a backlight issue.. i.e. that portion of the screen not lit properly hence it appears darker regardless of the theme's colour.

then you fire up word mobile, and create a new document.
You should have a full white background......

Yes tried that.. I don't get the gradient on white pages such as the 'Align Screen' page, documents, IE, even the b/g of Programs and Settings looks perfect.
So it's safe to assume I don't have to send my unit back for warranty yeah? I just wanted to be sure before sticking my invisibleSHIELD on
btw, what screen/body protector are you using? I might have a spare invisibleSHIELD if you're interested.

That should be the theme issue....
you can try UITweaker,
go to TdyScheme Changer > change all the 4 list(left 1 & 2 + right 1 & 2) color to white...
cheers,...

I tried taking the a few screenshots and yes the gradient is there when viewed from the PC as well although less apparent. But yeah it's definitely the theme then.
When I was on the phone with HTC the girl also advised me to have my phone sent in to be checked... until I asked her "shouldn't you confirm this isn't normal before we proceed further"? lol

Display banding/striping issue

I can't take a photo of my screen but I clearly see horizontal banding in black-on-white text pages...they're like this:
text-text-text-text-banding-banding-banding
text-text-banding-banding-banding-banding
text-text-text-text-text-text-text-text-banding
and so on...sorry for this weird explaination but couldn't find a way to describe them since english is not my mother language....
those stripes are white, more white than the page background...
i took a screenshot, and viewed it on the pc...no white stripes there, so it's not software related ...
anyone else have/had this issue????
send to htc is the only solution? (obviously it has unlocked bootloader)

yes this has been discussed before. the best example is when viewing google's forums, you can see alternating bands that line up with all the text rows. and in between is pure white, while the text rows show slightly darker.
that's just the way it is for now. no fix has ever been released.

thanks for the answer =)
so is my phone defective or is it like that for every nexus out there?
EDIT: sidenote-to me it's the exact opposite, the stripes where text sits are more white than the rest of the white background that is a little darker

Team Black Hat Boot Logo

This is a well known issue among other forums but I havent seen any answer or fix to it yet.
When you create a boot logo to apply via the TBH app, it flips blues and reds around.
If I wanted a blue logo, this wouldnt be a problem because I could just make it red and have it come out whatever shade of blue.
Red, however, when it gets flipped from a blue that isn't the perfect hue of blue, it comes out in a weird orange color that I definitely don't want.
Has anyone here seen a fix for this somewhere?

That is the way the phone works, has nothing to do with the toolbox or any creation of the logo...invert the colors and all will be ok.

Someone posted somewhere that they tried inverting colors and that didn't work...
I'll try it for myself tomorrow.
On my DroidX I added the boot logo manually and I had to flip the image itself as well as the hex coding for the image. I guess inverting colors would be the Bionic equivalent to that procedure...

Inverting the colors didn't work.
I'm trying to make everything have a red glow.
I tried making it blue to it would change to red, and i got this weird orange color (Do you know the exact code for the blue that inverts to Red?)
I tried making it red, then inverting, and i got a nasty green/yellow color.

[Q] After install ics my n7000 colors are darker

I don´t know why, few seconds after i boot my n7000 the screen gets a little pink.
All the colors get darker. ease to see on white objects.
I would like to know if someone got the same problems as I.
I will send a picture to show

black color goes crazy

Hello, I noticed that on black videos or pics my black not mixing with grey color very well. I add screenshots to explain about my situation.
I just noticed that pics on PC looks fine. I try to take pics with camera.
It could be Screen BUG? Or ROM? But I had this on SlimBean and JellyBam.

it is there on most of the Note Screens. Could be because how the color is rendered.. there has been talks of resolving this issue but nothing as of now

I read that some apps can help, I tried Filter Your Screen. added new filter with custom colors and it dissapiers. Now pictures and videos looks good, but Black color is not so much BLACK like before. and I need to turn it on that app :/ Its annoying.
