Hi guys,
Just bought this wonderfull device but i'm having some question about it. it seems that the right side of the display is less brighter then the left side. I tried a few images but it looks like the lights are just not brighter. I adjust the contrast and on the highest setting the screen seems to be ok .
I have included some pictures, in the last picture it's very noticable. As you can see the left Agenda and the right Contacten, Agenda is really bright Contacten not. What is your idea about it? Do you guys have the same?
See the difference?
The device is brand new 1 day old, can i return it or ask for a new? Thnx for your support...
Many thanks for your feedback!

Is your backlight on full? If not try it and see if you still have this 'issue'
Try to Change the backround.
looks like a pattern of the backround.

If you just got it today does that mean you applied the screen protector today? Sometimes it takes a bit of use to sit flat on the screen and so could give such an effect.

No didn't applied it yet. Thought I wait so I'm able to return it. I will try a few new patterns. But you don't have this problem?

Whenn having it full it seems to be less. When having it on less you really see the difference.

No, just checked mine. I can't say it's obvious from your pics and unfortunately your last pic seems unavailable. If it is darker over the "Contacten" word then I can't see that this is a wallpaper issue, since that is a toolbar.

Hi
I thought this for a small while.
Try turning your screen to landscape, has the slight difference down one side changed with rotation?
If so it is probably just the shading applied to some screens by Microsoft, for example the contacts list and email lists have a colour graduation, white on the left and then a slight blue tint towards the right.
Open up pocket Word, this is a completely white screen, no graduation, do you see the problem now?

Does anyone have a solution for phantom taps on your NC?
I'm on my 3rd Nook Color when I pick up the replacement unit this afternoon.
My general issues are phantom taps - or the NC doing things I don't want it to. So far a very poor experience when typing, turning a page in a book, or even just navigating the ui. The whole issue may be me, it happens regardless if I am plugged in or not. I keep a very clean screen so there is very to little gunk.
I do have sweaty palms on occasion but not out of the ordinary. I have other touch devices that have never given me this issue. If anything I think the screen is overly sensitive - hardware or software issue?
Nope it's not just you. Mine has a multitude of issues with the touchscreen...
Essentially I cannot use the touchscreen when the device is plugged into stock charger/cable as wherever I put my finger, a random touch appears somewhere on the x-axis near my finger.
It seems that the device does not like changes in temperature or humidity either when it is unplugged. Using my tablet while cold was impossible, and likewise while it had been warm.
I'm on my second tablet from Best Buy-- the first one had dead pixels galore (enough to make the best buy rep say "dang!"), and now this one has a bad touchscreen and hard to press power button.
However: I purchased one of these for my mother a few days before mine at Barnes and Noble, and it has no issues whatsoever... at least not yet.
I've come to the conclusion that this hardware is quite beta, but I'm willing to give them a chance since it is the best bang for the buck, even if I have to go through a couple of returns... it's honestly almost worth the time for me since a tablet is so valuable for schoolwork.
Fortunately mine does not do this. I think maybe for those that are having this issue it may be able to be fixed in a firmware update.
My EVO had extremely similar problems when it first came out with the touchscreen and not being able to use the dropdown menu while the device wasn't grounded. After a firmware update the phone was great with touch sensitivity.
my first one did this also. so far the second is doing fine, but the first didn't have any problems till the 13th day of owning it.
i'm hoping it's just an issue that can be fixed via software - maybe someone put an incorrect voltage input somewhere.
I was having the same issues. I bought a screen protector and that seemed to solve it. So far, it's been working fine.
I noticed the screen protector stabilized the touchscreen a lot. Before I seem to have a problem finding the sweet spot for a touch. Now it seems better.
However, my phantom pinky is always touching something while I am trying to navigate. As long I only get one finger near the screen, it's fine.
Mine came from B&N.
The only other issue I have is the magnetic clasp in the cover seems to throw the internal compass/magnetometer off a lot.

Then how is it managing to correctly position the screen with Google Sky? Is it just spooky smart?
Mine only has problem when screen gets dirty. Try a screen protector or use gloves.
is there really a compass in this thing? I just assumed there wasn't. if there is I'm buying another tomorrow!
Screen protector helps to solve my problem.
Are you seeing more issues right after cleaning the screen? I see issues then and I think it is because I an using some moisture on the cloth. If I just dust it lightly with a dry cloth and live with a few finger prints there seem to be less of an issue.

Oh well, it could be worse although I don't see how Google data can tell which direction I am facing.

Nor can your Nook Colour.. Using something like TetherGPS would have some heading information, but the NC itself without help would not.
It might show 0, dunno there. Maps for me just shows a dot, if yours is showing different, that'd be... interesting.
For S&G I tried "Compass", it of course FC's immediately like almost all apps that try to use the GPS. Enabled TetherGPS (with no server, just the client) and it ran, but of course no data, no heading, etc.
Is this occuring when the nook is plugged in? sometimes the charger can cause phatom touches with the touchscreen. Cleaning the screen and being on a stable ROM usually gets rid of that problem.
If only I weren't so stupid ...

LOL! Ok, I sat down with it and played for a bit. It appears some tilt sensor is handling the up and down tilt. If you raise the screen over your head, it shows those stars and if you tilt it down, I see what is below the horizon. That is pretty consistent. But it's also "simulating" a compass inadvertently.
By that I mean that if I happen to turn it on facing north, it appears to track as you turn in a circle but it's really just me tilting it and it's rotating he view. If you do it enough it has no clue the direction it's facing.
I'm just glad I figured this out before I got lost in the Amazon.
Just got mine plugged it in and unplugged and within stew minutes phantom touches couldn't even reboot it im on cyanogen mod 7

Wow, it seems to have improved the accuracy! I need to play with it more to be sure.
Hey guys,
This thread is not about the camera taking photos with banding lines, instead about the actual display.
Does anyone have vertical banding lines most notorious when displaying a full grey screen in low brightness.
I've read the verge review and seems to have some banding as well, anyone as well? Thinking about replacing it for a third time.

Yes, I rarely get this issue. I captured a screen shot one day just in case, not sure how well it shows up, but look in the middle lower portion of the screen. Almost like a clock hand pointing at 6 o'clock.

Nevermind, it does not really show up in that pic. Sorry. But yes, I experiencing this issue. Mainly when I am in the settings menu, I think it based on the colors in there. I do not ever see it on my home screen or apps...at least my eye cannot perceive it.

You can't take a screenshot to see the problem. Its a hardware issue therefore you can only use an externeal photo of the screen. Check on grey full color screen. I think I will not replace it, I may risk on another issue..

Yeah, I had not planned on replacing mine either. I so infrequently see it, and even when I do, it really does not impact anything. I was not aware it was a hardware issue, seems there could be a bug fix for problem then.

Thanks for the link.
Its funny cause the band shows up in the screen shot on my phone, but probably because the conditions are right, not cause its actually in the pic.
Vertical lines are something you should replace your phone for. Horizontal lines like in the screenshot is just the banding of the colors and happens on every single stock android phone because it's apart of the software

Could u check through a full grey background whether ur greyd are fully consistente? I mean there no faint lines whatsoever. Perhaps ur phone is the same as mine and u have not realized it given that it seems to be fairly normal with amoled displays
I was just about to post about this very issue. I created a quick image to show everyone what the issue is. The lines are not as drastic as I made them look, but it should give you the idea of what it looks like on the screen.

No. That is not the issue we are speaking about. The issue we are referring to is VERTICAL and only appears on greyish/black screens, like the settings screen. The horizontal lines are normal for this phone.

Precisely. You can't really use self screenshots to see this problem I'm talking about. Its about the amoled itself having these vertical banding lines(canvas-like strokes). Open Facebook and tap the search button and tap on the search bar without actually writing any name. Tap down the keyboard. For me the deep blue background has the most prominent banding lines for me. I have one week to think whether I should replace it. If everybody actually have these lines and NOT a solid color on full greys or deep blue I won't replace it.
PS. TheVerge moto x review says that it also have some banding lines on grays. I'd be great if you guys could check ur screens like I just explained. Hope I explain it well
Damn amoled!
Someone with the problem should post a sample pic/screen shot so others can download it and attempt to see the problem.
Just download a color test app that makes ur whole screen of a determined color. Put it on grey and check whether ur whole Grey screen doesn't have any vertical line banding. In case it doesn't have any of these lines, please let me know.
If it does have banding, take a screenshot and see it on ur computer monitor and see how the Grey should be displayed(full solid grey without lines)
I don't care enough to install an app, checking out a screen shot is quick and easy.
Took a photo with my tablet. These are the lines im talking about.
Also use the screenshot so u can check whether u have the same problem.
With the screen shot downloaded and displayed on my Moto X I can detect no banding of any kind. I tried it in dim and bright light. Screen brightness is set to auto so it did adjust with ambient light. Maybe I would see it if I manually cranked brightness to max.

Thank you, so my case is a defect, a third replacement will happen I guess. Great phone nevertheless.
It is possible it is something that was fixed going from 4.2.2 to 4.4.x, seems unlikely though. I notice you are on 4.2.2. I am on 4.4.2.
Impossible, my issue is definetively not software related but hardware related. When I see this screen shot on an LCD based device like my PC monitor, no banding is present. After all the pointless investigation this issue is sometimes present on amoled devices like the galaxy nexus.
I just got my Mate 20 Lite through amazon, but I noticed something weird with the notification LED.. it looks a bit out of place to the right, is this normal?
Should I ask for a refund?
Here are some pictures of the issue.

Wow, this makes no sense, the phone was perfect but that just ruined it.. can't even see it in the dark.. I always use my phone on silent and really needed that feature..
Lol my led is on the left in the speaker grill
The LED should be on the right of the speaker grill - it's meant to be that way, but is very dim. However, a recent firmware update increased the LED's brightness (not by much).
Btw, the LED is actually RGB (controller and diode) but Huawei disabled that function, for some reason. You can get RBG functionality back by using third-party apps.

That is the correct place. Huawei always have put the LED in stranges places...
Anyway, just be glad that Mate 20 even have a LED. Many phones doesn't come with that...

Not sure if they disabled to make it more visible
Yup, it's supposed to be like that. A stupid move if you ask me. Going from an Honor 8 (has the LED in its speaker grill too but it's very bright) to this was a shock. In daylight you can't even see it.

You can test every color, you can specify your own ones, but you can only test it, with screen turned off.
I noticed when I am browsing using a white background screen (chrome), I noticed that there is a shadowy horizontal bar that is hardly noticeable. regardless wether you are on portrait or landscape view of your screen. It remains on the same spot and doesnt move at all. Its quite annoying as once you notice it, you cannot unsee it again hehe.. just wondering if this is a faulty hardware or not. anyone experience the same issue?

yes its a bit difficult to show on the video, i just pointed its location and can only see it in person. well if you happen to have the s21 ultra and don't get to see this, then you are lucky ... but really.. its like a white strip of line across the screen horizontally..
