Yes there is text flickering issue. I also find it very annoying while using XDA app on black bacground. I have three sensations on my account and the one that my gf uses has Sharp panel and it also flickers. But not as bad as AOU. Although I should also mention that filickering on white background with dark fonts is more noticiable with Sharp panel. The only thing that concerns me on my AUO is that 3d-colors seems to be very warm and reddish. For instance if I do Quadrant test with both phones side by side I can see that Sharp is a little washed out but AUO is a little too reddish and overly satturated (looks like super AMOLED). The funny thing is that there is very minimal differance on 2d images. I am with you though I hope that text flickering issue will be solved with an update.

AUO panel question

Do you any of you AUO panel owners have this issue or is it just me? Light bleeding/seepage coming from the sides and top of the phone?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1176053

I only have a few days left to return this and it's really bothering me, but I don't want to exchange it if all of the panels are like this.

I have had a few AUO screens and only one of them had the same screen bleed yours does. My new AUO doesn't at all.

Video uploaded

I received my replacement set from Orange after the original set had the text ghosting / flickering issue when scrolling light coloured text on black background.

The second set is worse than the 1st! I've uploaded a video at you tube:

simply add this to the end of .com/ at the youtube website. Becasue i'm a newbie I can't give you the direct link!

watch?v=9e53S8hR1eg

I contacted HTC technical support and they suggested I removed the battery and tried again. This was after I sent a long message in great detail about the problem. I wonder if support centres give 'random' solutions in an attempt the customer will simply give up trying!

Flush your toilet and try calling them back. :D

Sorry, couldn't resist. I hate it when you get an obviously unhelpful and pointless "solution".

I just got a new replacment and I cant find the panel line in terminal... has anyone else had trouble finding it? I found it no problem on 3 previous phones but this one does not seem to have it.
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Did you try emailing it yourself? It's a lot easier that way.
[HTC Sensation] silentsnow31802:
Thats exactly what I did. I cant find the word panel in it anywhere. Even using search.

EDIT: I restored all my apps and all that and tried again and was able to find it. Not sure why I couldnt the first time around... Oh well. Sharp screen this time! I think I may finally have a 100% good phone finally.

The above link talks about battery drain, and there are some very mixed results. I am interested to see is this due to the Acer using more power!

Please help me out here guys on this one.
[HTC Sensation] kevinliu2336:
Just wondering if somebody could post a video of a sharp screen scrolling without the flickering effect, would like to see if the improvement is worth the trouble it is to keep exchanging, also is anybody getting sharp screens from exchanging?
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
There's a flicker effect, but that's in high contrast situations and nothing compared to the flicker effect on the AUO panel.
[HTC Sensation] kevinliu2336:
Would still like to see a video just to compare for myself, also does HTC exchange your phone if you complain about the flickering of the AUO panel?

First panel was AUO, new phone has a Sharp. Both screens are nice and as many have said the AUO panel has better contrast. I do however like everything else about the new sharp panel. The text is sharper, no more light bleed, and the dithering is now gone. This panel is also dust free unlike the AUO panel I had.

Mine is: PANEL_ID_PYD_AUO_NT

Quite honestly and comparing with my friends who has "Sharp" one. I like the smoothness of mine simply because in time sharpness can do damage to the eyes lol
[HTC Sensation] senzenina:
Yeah I spent a lot of time on the phone when I got it and until I got used to the screen I had my eyes so tired they would sting :) It just seemed too bright and sharp.
[HTC Sensation] solrac.dc:
LMAO.....I guess our kids now SHOULD really listen to us when we say "don't sit too close to the tv!"
[HTC Sensation] senzenina:
Ain't gonna happen. At least I sat there with a magnifying glass looking at pixels. Sitting close to the TV is educational.

I love my Sharp. No screen problems whatsoever except rainbow widget lines every now and then, and that's a software fault. Not like that stuck-pixel-rich with a dust particle on second day AUO. Looking back at it I'm glad I replaced it, had most of the problems mentioned here. Had some thoughts I could get something way worse.

I don't mind however getting my hands on one of them "new AUOs" and do a comparison, and maybe, just maybe, do a little swap :)
[HTC Sensation] Shaquiel Harris:
Already tested a newer auo and its still the same thing so i kept my sharp. Even taking pictures my dad who doesn't use my sensation noticed the auo screen was more pink since my brother unfortunately has a auo. But i never went as far as to use a magnifying glass to look at pixels. That's too much honestly.
[HTC Sensation] jettrue:
I have moved to using the auo screen lately. I am liking it fine. Doesn't bother me much,and my auo happens to have better build quality. Straighter power button, bottom right corner doesn't squeak when pressed, and I love the T-Mobile wifi calling.
[HTC Sensation] batanguyen:
Thank i see that

And i have a question about Panel Type of Sensation 4G of T-Mobile vs World made from HK
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Off topic - but thanks for the link to the wallpapers in your signature. They are really nice.

It's all random. I don't think where the phone is from matters.
[HTC Sensation] senzenina:
I meant TV pixels when I was a kid, I'm not going to do it on the phone any time soon. Also I'm not running dead pixel tests on this unit unless one jumps and hits me in the eye. As long as I don't see or know about them I can enjoy my phone. And I'm doing that every day.

I have the Acer one, and have dust under my screen. I am expecting my replacement tomorrow. However, if the display on the replacement isn't as nice as mine, I may just keep my current one, dust and all, or send it to HTC for repair.
[HTC Sensation] NYCguy2020:
I'm starting to notice that the newer AUO phone with build dates of late June/early July are much better than the earlier AUO ones.From my own experience(had a Sharp display before) i think the newer Chinese AUO are even better than the Sharp ones with deep rich colors and good viewing angles...not to mention the build quality,which is far better on the Chinese units as opposed to those made in Taiwan.
[HTC Sensation] stops:
How abaout the flickering when scrolling in menus with grey font on black background? This and the pinkish tint is what annoys me the most.

By the way:

AUO Panel, Made in Taiwan, No manufacturing date on German boxes I gues.

Returning my phone today, after I compared the menu-scrolling to a Desire S. No flickering there...

You ARE lucky! Where did you purchase this one? Just out of curiosity?

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] NYCguy2020:
T-mobile telesales.It was shipped from Louiville,KY if that makes any difference.
[HTC Sensation] allyn274:
You really are lucky then. Sorry - can't remember - was this a warranty replacement or just an outright purchase? The AUOs I've seen really sucked. Loving my Sharp more & more as I recognize that sometimes what I thought was the screen color being different is really based solely on the light in the room.
[HTC Sensation] NYCguy2020:
It was an outright purchase.This was actually my second device from T-mo,as the first one had a terrible pinkish tint and text flickering.It was an AUO with 6/15/2011 build date.Since i was still in the 14 day period i called and asked for an exchange and they overnight it with no additonal cost (which was great).The moment i turned on the phone i was in love lol...i mean i was like WOW,and i couldn't believe it was an AUO aswell.

The difference between the 2 screens was night and day,even the build quality was much better on the second device.The date on the box is 7/4/2011 and on the back cover is 6/27/2011 which led me to believe that the latest AUO batch is probably superior to both the Sharp and the old AUOs.

[HTC Sensation] henrik.dk:
awful service from telenor Denmark.

I bought the phone at the beginning of July and still could not have the phone at hand due to bad service there.

The latest story I was told in the shop that I could go to the headquarter to get the phone fixed within an hour.

I drove there and it turned out the headquarter only fix non-htc phone. Then I was told that I could let them send the phone to another service center

and deliver the phone to a shop close to my home address when fixed. Today I

was told that I need to pick up only at the headquarter.

The funny reason they provided is that is for security. They won't trust the post system. They are utmost responsible for the customer.

This actually made me understand why iPhone is a good choice. The defect rate

of non-iphone could be much high.
[HTC Sensation] spoogedemon:
please let me know, how exactly does that works.

about my sensation.

it´s made in china, and has an AUO panel.

what can i say?

it´s awesome, but what i really dislike are the visible lines. :(

about the colors. it isn´t comparable with a eizo, which have to hardware calibrated every month. it is ONLY a smartphone, so sit back, relax and enjoy.

no phone produces 100% in color accuracy, and if there will be one one day, it will lose this advantage after some weeks of usage.

Sharp here. That was a you-know-what to look through but I finally found it. I kinda wish it was an Acer screen, primarily because I have an issue with my Sensation (blue light peeping out to the left of the homescreen button) and might try to get a replacement soon. I prefer Sharp products to Acer, so I'm afraid swapping for a new Sensation might take care of the light problem but leave me with an Acer screen (not that there's anything wrong with it, I just like Sharp better).
