[XPERIA X8 General] skyboyextreme:
hi guys i just noticed something strange on my x8 , there is some strange form of pixelation on my phone screen it appearsin some cases and it's most clear on this screen shot taken from dungeon hunter !

see :

screen shot from my device with strange dots (take a closer look) :

you see this dot like pixelation on the screen shot !

screen shot from the internet showing the same place you can notice that image is more clear and ain't got these strange dots :

wat is wrong ? is it normal ? maybe a similar screen shot from the same area could make me sure please some one do it and take a screen shot from the same area in dungeon hunter please i use an app called shootme from the market it's free ! thanks
[XPERIA X8 General] wujekandrzej:
to be honest i don't see any problem right there :P
[XPERIA X8 General] skyboyextreme:
take a closer look lol :D
[XPERIA X8 General] rafcamora91:
what is here strange??
[XPERIA X8 General] Boshe:
It will be good to mark that pixels.
[XPERIA X8 General] CaptainZap:
That's an HD game, maybe that's why your screen gets pixelated...
[XPERIA X8 General] bogdan_mihai554:
Yeah...that was my first thought X8 wasn't meant for hd :)
[XPERIA X8 General] skyboyextreme:
no i don't think so because i notice this in other places too not just in hd games...

anyways if you look closely you will see strange lookinf dots all over the screen can't be marked cause they are all over the pic but just needs a closer look
[XPERIA X8 General] Kurinkita:
Are you using the Stock ROM or a custom one? If you are using a CM6 or CM7 based ROM, go in the cyanogenmod settings -> Performance settings and enable surface dithering. After a reboot, the quality of the display should increase.
[XPERIA X8 General] skyboyextreme:
i'm using cm6 1.0.0

tried this and still the same , could this be a faulty screen ? but if it was a faulty screen i guess it won't show up in the screen shots !
[XPERIA X8 General] skyboyextreme:
could u post a screen shot taken from the same game and same place so i can make sure if this normal or not ?!
[XPERIA X8 General] Kurtido:
I'm also suffering of this when i installed Gingerfroyo rom on my x8. Could be a rendering mode for this rom, or something like that. It's kind of annoying, but i noticed it only does when rendering 3D graphics (live wallpapers, games). Anyone know how to get rid of this?
[XPERIA X8 General] skyboyextreme:
maybe our phone is normal like this
[XPERIA X8 General] mmlogin:
yes, it is.

i was switching 3 roms (stock, flyoy & minicm) because of same problem in fruitninja just to find out that game dithered background on all of them...
[XPERIA X8 General] DarkThanos:
...I see it too on my HD dolphin browser

But my phone never show the .jpg files write. Colors are mess up and the quality sims horible.
[XPERIA X8 General] mhyke13ph:
Same here, i never noticed this in stock 2.1 SE ROM, i think ill try again in 2.1

In that Screenshot I am using FroyoBread v012, is this a problem to all custom ROM? it is visible even in Gallery.

i Hope theres a Fix for this :)

Hi, i am currently confusing to pick a Navigation Apps for my Leo's brother.

I am staying at United States right now, but i am going to visit my homecountry soon, where Bing doesn't support.

Well, Bing is not that bad, i do believe. It saved my life couple times. And i still found it usefull, (and people still call it as a "dumb app" ) ...

But the problem is, Bing doesn't support my country - Vietnam. So , i am going to buy a Google Map -Based map i think.

There are several maps on Marketplace and on xda here. TA Maps, Bingle, Map Pro,GMap... Some of them are free, some are paid. So, do you have any suggestion, which navigation apps are you using?

Thanks...

PS: I have created a lot of thread since the end of April because i have too many thing going on here... :D

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheToiletSpaula:
A while back I opened my phone to fix a few other things which was actually successful (power button, touch digitizer, in ear speaker volume).

But when I reassembled my phone, I powered it on and I noticed that the colors were dull on my lcd, with noticable banding in gradients that were black grey white. This occurs in everything that appears on my screen including videos; even pictures that I take on the phones camera after they are tranferred onto my mac - still have banding!

So I thought that it must be something to do with the phones lcd screen? And its not able to transition from gradient to gradient in objects, which is causing the banding.

Anyone ever heard of this being a problem? Any solutions? Even ideas that can help me figure out how this whole thing works.

Appreciate it.

The first two pics, you can see how they have a blue tone to them, and that's the same thing I see on my homescreen/videos.

The second pic is a normal gradient. If this were to be viewed on my phone, in the white/lighter areas of the gradient there would be pink/blue banding. Only the black to white gradient shows the banding, but other colors are still quite vivid such as reds, oranges, yellows, even green. But I do know that it has something to do with light and shading with respect to lcd coloring.

By the way, screenshots of my home screen or any other screen using ShootMe are normal without banding.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheToiletSpaula:
bump...ahhhhhh
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spastic909:
Guess taking it apart didn't work as well as you thought
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhilberg:
I get banding in wallpapers with gradients on my G2, regardless of color. Although it's much easier to see on black/white/gray type gradients. I figure it's just a limitation of the LCD to accurately reproduce said gradients because if I view the same images on my PC monitor the banding isn't present.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheToiletSpaula:
Hmm yeah, I get it in everything. Themes, videos, pictures, etc. It seems like there is a color limitation, its annoying.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhilberg:
Did a bunch of Googling, came up with this:

http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/com...rs/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

Long story short, use the Wallpaper Set and Save app from the Market to apply your wallpapers. For some reason it fixes the banding. Tried it myself, it works. Doesn't solve the problems with your video, etc. though.

So obviously the LCD is perfectly capable of displaying images without the gradient banding. My guess is when the gallery is used to set wallpapers the images go through some sort of compression process.

EDIT: Looks like the gallery (Gallery 3D in my case) is the cause of the problem. I tried QuickPic too but it displays banding as well.

EDIT 2: Actually I was mistaken. QuickPic doesn't display banding.

What seems to happen is that when you select an image to set as a wallpaper with Gallery 3D, it saves a copy of it and sets that copy as the actual wallpaper. The copy is compressed, which is what causes the banding. Both QuickPic and Wallpaper Set and Save do not create a copy of the wallpaper, hence why there's no banding. Looks like it's bye bye Gallery 3D.

Thanks for bringing this up, something that's bothered me for a while but never bothered to deal with it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheToiletSpaula:
Yeah im going to continue to try and figure this out. If the Wallpaper Set and Save app can fix the wallpapers that means there must be some sort of calibration that can be done to draw out normal colors from your lcd.

The thing is...the black and white gradients that are affected are part of most images especially videos since gradients are transitioning all the time as the image moves.

There has to be sometihng that can fix this gradient transitioning problem for the black and white shades.

Thats where im at. :S.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheToiletSpaula:
Update:

I applied the above black to white gradient pic as my background using Wallpaper Set and Save to use as a test to whether it would get rid of the banding and...

IT DID NOT WORK.

My LCD still displays pink/blue banding along the transition from black to white. It must be some sort of damage that my phone sustained possibly though the 1. LCD screen connections to PCB, 2. The PCB circuits (under the shields), 3. Or the Flex Cable.

****, I need some ideas on how I can fix this...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhilberg:
Indeed, you might have some damage.

I downloaded your black to white gradient image and set it as my wallpaper with both Wallpaper Set and Save and QuickPic. Both times no gradients or color banding was present.
[LG Optimus 2x] akyp:
I have had 3 occasions where my 2X unlocked itself while it's in my pocket. First time it played music, another time it called my mother, then this morning it sent a garbage SMS.

Ok so it may be hilarious to read. :D But annoying for me. Anyone else had the same experience? I think the stock LG lockscreen is to be blamed and now I've set a lock pattern.
[LG Optimus 2x] bonnseba:
I experienced the same think while running. In my mind, it is due to the design of the LG lock screen. It is pretty simple to push from down to up while being in the pocket. The lock pattern is a good solution, or use an alternative lock screen.
[LG Optimus 2x] Kickasskev:
U got a hole in your pocket and it's rubbing on ya leg lol
[LG Optimus 2x] ravn1:
"help help im trapped in this guys pants.. Imma text and call his mother"..

Did you install a custom lock screen at some point? Try if you can unlock your phone by pressing the Menu button, thats a common problem when switch to the stock android lockscreen.

I use Widgetlocker with the HTC lock, which you pull down rather than up, and I have not had this problem in the 1½ month I had this phone(Nor the last year with my Desire and Desire HD). But sometimes I can turn on my screen and have a few seconds of playing with the launcher, before my lockscreen comes up. This is some weird bug in the LG software, and perhaps the lockscreen from LG never pops up as it was supposed to?
[LG Optimus 2x] akyp:
:D

No I haven't installed any other lockscreen. Though yes the lockscreen lag may have contributed to the problem.

And now try this for fun: With the phone unlocked, put a piece of thin cloth over it, then touch/swipe. If the cloth is thin enough, like those used to make pockets, you can actually operate the phone as usual. With the stock LG lockscreen the touch area is really large and only needs to be moved up by 3cm or so to unlock, so this is probably what happened: when putting my phone into my pocket with the headphone jack side up, it was unlocked when rubbing against my body and unpredictable things happened.

So there you go, if you like to put your phone in a pocket, use another lockscreen or a lock pattern. ;)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RizSher:
Hi.

I rooted and flashed my DHD with Cyanogen mod initially soon after getting it, and currently have LeeDroid running. Today, flashed to the latest verison of LeeDroid... (and don't think the 2 are linked), my speaker promptly stopped working. Telephone calls uisng the handset are fine, connecting a wired handfree to the 3.5mm port get ssound as well. But, activiting the speakerphone phone during a call, or media playback (videos I had made using the camera) is completely silent.

I've tried the basic, resetting to defaults, flashing back to an earlier version of LeedRoid, which had worked perfectly for weeks on the phone before, but, the speakerphone seems goosed.

The phone is still under warranty, so, thinking of sending it back to 3. GIven the phone is rooted, s-off, different Kernel, Radio etc etc, if I flash to stock HTC firmware, would they be able to tell if I've been tinkering iwth alternate firmware?.. and.. consequenlty, refuse warranty service?.

Is there anyway to completely make the phone factory fresh?

Thanks.

Thanks Parttime...

I seem to recall reading somewhere that S-Off (or possibly something else) cannot be reverted once done, and even flashing with stock firmware doesn't put it back.. is it true?...

Btw, whats the 1.72.405.3 Rom at http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Ace?

I thouhght 1.32.405.6 was the latest one, but it had some battery drain issues, so, 1.32.405.3 is the receommended stock firmware?.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leppie:
Why do you care?

The software is not under warranty (you did read the EULA didn't you?).

The worst they can do is reload the original HTC software.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
This question just goes to prove you haven't read or searched before posting. Forum rule broken, AGAIN.

No, it's not true.

The recommended version is the latest one, 1.8x.xx. There are many threads already to explain this.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RizSher:
You are wrong..

1,8.x.x appear to be carrier specific roms...

flashing even using the stock rom RUU executable DOES NOT turn S-off back to on, its needs to be done before de-rooting the phone...

thats what I've managed to dig up in searches...

I could be wrong... But...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
I put too much of your quote in. I was saying that it is not true that you can't undo S-OFF (Go back to S-On).

To do that you can use the one click tool.

Sent from my Ericsson T39m
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RizSher:
Actually, the question was quite clear. Anyway, as it happens, the S-On needs to be done before flashing the stock firmware as you still need root access for the S-on tool.

Since I had already upgraded to 1.32.405.6 RUU , I needed to get root back, so followed the guide on the Cyanogenmod wiki (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Desire_HD:_Rooting) to get root (adb, push psneuter etc)... got it to the point of temp root... ran s-on tool, the phone status in recovery now states S-On. The next step was to flash 1.32.405.3 as PD98IMG.ZIP. I had planned to do it anyway, just to try see if the speaker MAY come to life again..

Was getting too late, so, went to sleep.. and today... was woken up by the phone rining for a phone call... speakerphine is working, video files play with proper sound.

Don't really know what fixed it. When I lost the speakerphone, I was on LeedDroid 3.0.1 (for about a day and a half), I then downgraded to the previous LeedRoid version (which was 2.2.3 and worked wonderfully), no joy with the sound... then flashed right down to stock 1.32.405.6, no joy for 2 days.. during whihc I poked the 3.5 mm jack with the handsfree pin, jiggled the mini usb charger in the port at various angles... still no joy..

After s-On last night, it seems to have fixed itself!!!

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acsi007:
this actually happened to me as well. it hasnt been a problem since i dont need a restore, but i made 2 nandroid backups after i rooted my glacier, since im paranoid. upon inspecting the sd card files in windows explorer, i found that one backup directory was fine, while the other had the filesof the same name, but half were 0 bytes. i deleted that nandroid since i figured it was useless. dont know why it happened either. the only thing i can think of is one i initiated thru rommanager by hitting the backup now or whatever it's called and it rebooted. then the second i did from CWM recovery interface, navigating to nandroid backup. i suspect the latter was the one that was complete, but not sure.

Don't make/restore backups from rom manager. It's always been known to behave strangely with our phones especially when our comes to nandroid functions. I suggest doing all your critical stuff directly from recovery.

So you started doing the Manualnooter 4.5.2 for 1.2

Just continue one with the rest of the steps. Reading further down on the Step-by-step guide you get these instructions.

Market has limited visibility - This is a known tablet issue, not just a NOOKcolor one.

STEPS:

1) Already have your Google Account entered into the table & synced.

Settings=> Accounts & sync => Add your account/Sync your account

2) Run Android Market first by using your desktop icon or the applet grid panel choosing the Market app. When run it should produce a Market with missing apps when you search as is usual.

3) Leave the Android Market program running & tap the Home button to go to the desktop.

Replaces 4-6 = Nook Color Tools => All Settings => Manage Applications

4) Tap the Menu button, then select the Settings option in the bottom bar that pops up.

5) Select the Applications option

6) Select the Manage applications option

7) Select the Running TAB to show all running applications.

8) Scroll down the list until you see Market, then select it.

9) Tap on the Clear cache option button

10) Tap on the Force stop option button. DO NOT tap on the Clear data button here under Market, it will break the process I believe!

11) Tap on the Back button to go back to the entire list of running apps.

12) Scroll the app list up until you see the Google Services Framework app & select it.

13) Tap on the Clear data button here first, then tap on the OK button to confirm the action.

13) Tap on the Force close button now.

14) Now tap on the Back button or use the Home button to go back to the main desktop screen.

15) If you have the Market app on your desktop, then tap on it to run it, or open the dockbar applet panel & run Market from there again.

16) You should get an error box that has "Attention", then states that "An error has occurred. Please try again later."

This is good & what seems should happen if all is going well.

17) Now just hold down the On\Off button & then use the shut down menus to shut down the device normally.

18) Now just turn the device back On normally, let it boot to the desktop ... when you get a working Wifi connection, try Market again ... hopefully if all went as it did for me many times, Market should work fully now & show apps that used to be missing!

[General Questions and Answers] DennisLil:
Hi,

I just installed the latest Artemis (58.0 SVE) to my HD2. I used the LeoAdvancedRUU.exe and have not done any customizations. Note sure of my Radio version.

Everything went fine. But my company enforces the use of Exchange company principle unit cryptation (direct translation from Swedish, not sure of the correct english term), and after a while (30 minutes) of using the phone and having done some settings in the standard HTC settings tab I did a soft reset. Problem is that the phone freezes on the lock up screen. I can push the Speak button to make emergency calls, but when clicking Lock up the phone just freezes.

I had done a soft reset before, which worked.

Could anyone help? (currently I can't even start the phone...)
[General Questions and Answers] DennisLil:
I'm not so sure it has anything to do with the Exchange encryption.

I cleared the phone and got it running with Artemis 58. I synched with Exchange and everything was running fine for some hours, during which i did several soft resets.

However when I did some simple settings on the HTC settings tab (I changed background image and moved around and hid some of the tabs on the start screen), the phone wouldn't restart when soft resetting. It just freezes when I try to unlock it on the security encryption screen.

Ideas anyone?
