[Nokia Lumia 900] emjlr3:
the benefits of an amoled are color saturation, deep rich blacks, and energy consumption on non-white backgrounds

SLCD create more "accurate" colors, that some see as washed out - generally are a bit brighter (lumens) and more white whites

the amoled produce off whites - if you compare the two, but you should not really notice it on an amoled unless you compare it to a true white

also, off angles can produce a slight blue hue to the whites

to each his own - I prefer the amoleds blacks (with the WP7 metro themes), to the washed out colors of an SLCD - but that does not mean you or someone else will too
[Nokia Lumia 900] adiliyo:
could it be that your screen might be dirty?

i know on mine if i have some water or oil on the screen it will create a prism effect, which will rainbow the colors, especially with a white screen.

personally i haven't seen whites get a rainbow effect, but they are a little dim, which could be partly due to the screen tech (amoled) and could also be the hardware dimming them intentionally to save on battery (white is a battery killer on amoled screens)

but the inky blacks and pop of color from amoled makes me not really care, as the screen looks brilliant.

and the clearblack display on the nokia is great in the sun.
[Nokia Lumia 900] stratax:
rainbow colors are only suppose appear on pentile displays. this phone has a true rgb screen so i dont see why
[Nokia Lumia 900] drleospaceman:
AMOLED does not inherently have dim whites. Samsung just programs a dimming condition into the firmware on some its AMOLED panels that make it dim the brightness based on the % of white pixels on the screen (as a sneaky way to improve battery). The Focus S has an extra setting that lets you disable this, but the L900 does not have that setting.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Nissan350:
I see. Bummer :(
[Nokia Lumia 900] foxbat121:
A dim AMOLED screen also helps prolong the panel life span a lot. AMOLED screens are extremely prone to burn in. Avoid extreme brightness and avoid leave screen on for extended period.

Just remember this: it is very easy to bump up a screen's brightness (brighter back light on LCD) but it is extremely difficult to produce true blackness on a screen. The strength of AMOLE is the true black because it has no back light. Each pixels emit light. Darker black = higher contrast. No LCD can ever match the black level of an AMOLED screen.
[Nokia Lumia 900] stratax:
i wouldnt keep saying that lol, htcs IPS SLD 2 can almost match against the blacks of a super amoled and has better colors all around without having to be pentile. unless you were to compare side to side you would be completely happy with the blacks on the one x. :)

edit: http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/05/htc-one-x-vs-one-s/ compare the blacks, barely a difference unless you were looking hard

i would go with the ips slcd 2 anyday considering no burn, great viewing angles, great battery life especially whites and cloes to as good battery life on blacks, visable outdoors, realistic looking colors/not over saturated, etc. its a balance between good blacks, and good whites. still wouldnt touch the one x though
[Nokia Lumia 900] slpin:
^^^ above poster have never used an amoled display
[Nokia Lumia 900] stratax:
I most definitely have. from samsungs first amoled screens the behold 2. and both gens of galaxy s.

and i take it you have used the one x? no? since its the only phone with the IPS SLCD "2". not talking about regular SLCD, i have the amaze and the blacks look like crap.

almost every reviewer that has had their hands on nearly every android handset has stated its the

best

screen they have seen. just my 2 cents.

LCD is growing, OLED is still failing with screen burn. :p

also, im no htc fanboy (anymore). i really want the lumia 900 actually
[Nokia Lumia 900] foxbat121:
Any reviewer says SLCD2 is better or equal to AMOLED has no clue what they are talking about. For the most part, they equal high brightness to better display. Read those reviews carefully. They are probably the same idiots who prefer LCD TVs to Plasma TVs. They made no scientific measurements of the contrast ratio of the screens. So, basically they are simply talking out of their a**.

Yes, LCD has more accurate colors. But it can never have better or equal blacks. There is no way to make LCD panel to block backlight completely.
[Nokia Lumia 900] stratax:
I guess almost every reviewer that has reviewed this phone talks out of their ass, technobuffalo, engadget, phonedog, telegraph? lol, nearly every review that i have read said that. people who love the galaxy s 2, and both aaron from phonedog and john from technobuffalo used the note as their daily and preferred the one x screen.

just because the blacks are one notch off doesnt mean it's not superior. considering it will have better battery life, much more accurate colors, sharper images (when compared to pentile especially), no screen burn (plasma tvs have that horribly, so id stick with my lcd tv). blacks arent the most important color on a phone lol, and i never said they are better or as good. they are pretty damn close though. especially for being a LCD. after seeing screen burn on plasma tvs and oled screen its hard to say id rather have one. people who want a little bit more black screens are okay with screen burn?

and horrible whites?

also, people who dont stay in a cave all day. the ones who go out side, ips is far superior lol considering you have grea viewing angles and its completely viewable outside.

compared to the galaxy nexus the blacks almost looks exactly the same.

i would rather have amoled screen on wp7, but on android i would probably rather have the sld2

http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/13/lg-renames-optimus-lte-to-optimus-true-hd-lte-disses-samsungs/

look at this photo: http://i43.tinypic.com/2wn7jfd.jpg

you can barely tell a difference between the menu dots and the bezel. opposed to other lcds. it could be comparable to amoled defintely.

outside photo with low brightness: http://i44.tinypic.com/ipqgzs.jpg

still compeltely visible

overal its all about personal preference, but im sure saying that the new screen is comparable and would even be hard to choose from even over super amoled. i was about to ditch LCD honestly (my amaze has horrible blacks) before seeing this screen. too bad its not in other phones.
[Nokia Lumia 900] foxbat121:
Screen quality better be left to those know how to compare, e.g. those who review hdtv for a living. lmao the stuff you quoted above.

Remember, contrast ratio = brigest / darkest. The slight difference in black level significantly changes the contrast ratio. Not so much on brightness.

Yes, there are magic coatings on LCD screens that make them appear dark then actually is. The problem is such coating could cause black crush or false contour. Of course those phone reviewer didn't test those important aspect of PQ of a panel, did they?
[Nokia Lumia 900] stratax:
Not really something to even think about. OLED hasnt been seen on a mobile devices over WVGA resolution WITHOUT pentile, we all know pentile sucks. colors, sharpness, etc. we have HD screens with IPS completely sharp, great colors, etc. just my 2 cents

http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/articles/48137-image/100-Crop-Red.jpg <- pentile

you dont need to review tvs to know if a mobile screen is good or not. these people have had their hands on nearly every android/wp7/blackberry/wm6 handset. pretty sure they have some say, especially for engadget always hating on every company besides apple then says the one x has the best screen they have seen lol.

both AMOLED/SAMOLED, and IPS SLCD have 16m colors. except the IPS has better viewing angles, no screen bleed, able to see the screen outside, whites to look blue, etc. you dont need to be a reviewer to know which is better.

unless your like everything on your phone to be black, and nothing but black then i dont see the point of saying oled is better just because the blacks are a notch better..

on different OS i would prefer different types of screens. LCD would be crap on wp7 i think unless you used whites a lot. we have yet to see IPS SLCD on wp7 i dont ever think we will. on android though i and other people like having high resolution, good looking colors, etc. cant have that with amoled unless you like pentile. wvga doesnt cut it with android anymore

take a look at the nokia 701, has lcd with clearblack and the blacks look great one it.
[Nokia Lumia 900] foxbat121:
FYI, iPhone 4/4s has IPS screen and yet it looks hazey and has the lowest contrast ratio among almost all smartphone screens. IPS maybe better than other LCD screens. But it is still LCD screen. It is physically not possible to completely block the backlite. Otherwise, we don't need local dimming technology on high end LCD TVs anymore.
[Nokia Lumia 900] stratax:
The iphone 4s has a LED backlit IPS TFT display. nothing close to similar what im talking about. the screen on the one x is the only phone with the screen so you cant really compare any of the other phones with a IPS display. the "2" in IPS SLCD "2" matters. HTC did something great to make the blacks look close to amoled blacks.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Laquox:
Basically reading through all this I have realized LCD produces actual colors via pixels but AMOLED screens produce pixels and are basically like a light bright. Lighting up pixels as necessary which is EXACTLY what's causing the "rainbow effect" as it's firing up pixels necessary to "reproduce" white and not actually a white pixel.

Starting to have second thoughts on this phone. Terrible color (outside of black which is meaningless since every theme is super bright), certain calls just not answering, the data glitch that while fixed still leaves much to be desired. Not really what I expected from the "FLAGSHIP" WP phone.. Buyers remorse kicking in...
[Nokia Lumia 900] stratax:
yeah.. i hope nokia fixes all this stuff

Batteries aren't under the warranty so if they are "faulty", they won't replace them.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] babexdragon:
I got my first replacement claiming the 100% battery problem, but I was also within my 14 days.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArcticWolf91:
Are they still doing warranty replacements? I have tried getting my phone replaced twice already because of dust in the camera and both times they shot me down. Maybe warranty is over? Either way I'm going to try again tomorrow saying that my power button is not working or something.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tonyizhurr:
It's not the batterys fault tho.. It's software or hardware related..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Muff Burner:
Don't make **** up, just tell them the truth. "My screen is getting more and more plagued with these awful lines and discolorations."

Whoever said batteries aren't covered is full of it also. I have had my battery replaced by tmobile for every phone I have ever had, including this one. All "accessories" are covered for 90 days, the device itself (no back door, no battery, no headphones, or charger) is covered for one full year. Let's get the facts straight people. :D
[Windows 8 General] CreatioSoft:
Intel is working with 10 undisclosed Chinese and global vendors to design Windows 8 tablets using the company's chips, a senior company executive said Wednesday.

"You'll probably see many Intel-based tablets by the end of this year," Intel China chairman Sean Maloney said while speaking at the Intel Developer Forum in Beijing.

Maloney made his comments as Intel has been working to expand its chip business into smartphones and tablets. The company's newest Atom processor, the Z2460 and also code-named "Medfield", is built for smartphones and tablets, and promises to give high computing performance while also offering long battery life.

The Medfield chip will be used in Chinese PC maker Lenovo's K800 handset, the first smartphone to use an Intel processor. The K800 will go on sale in China at the end of May, according to Lenovo vice president Wayne Chen.

Lenovo share of China's smartphone market last year was less than 5%, according to research firm Canalys. The K800 smartphone is positioned at the "high end", Maloney said.

Intel is also developing another mobile chip, code-named Clover Trail, which is designed for tablets and is scheduled to arrive this year. The chip features a 1.8 GHz processor, according to a slide shown during Maloney's speech.

Although Intel is best known as a PC chip producer, the company has big ambitions for the tablet and smartphone market, especially in China. "Our strategy in China now is to win with smartphones and tablets. We are making progress on it!" Maloney said during an online chat with Internet users earlier this week.

Chinese handset manufacturer ZTE also plans to launch a smartphone using Intel chips during the second half of this year, according to Maloney.

Intel is also developing two other Atom chips for smartphones. The Intel Atom Z2580 will offer twice the performance of the Medfield chip. The Atom Z2000 has a 1.0 GHz processor and is positioned for the lower end of the market.

[LG Optimus 2x] Micronuub:
Hello members out there.!

I have one simple but still hard question,

At the moment i've tried a lot of ROMS for my Optimus 2x

But not all that stable and atm im looking for a stable ROM, not a phone that keeps

Getting random shutdowns or low battery perfomance.

So please share your experience here with your ROMS and tell me which one is the most stable

Greetings,

Micronuub.
[LG Optimus 2x] tomsi91:
this question is here many times.

you have basically 2 choices - stock or cyanogenmiod.

i think the most stable is stock 20q ROM with some better kernel. it only has some problems - few RAM, it becomes laggy after about 120hours of use, but it still works and you can reboot it manually. i dont like when i oversleep in the morning because CM7 ROM randomly, once in month, drains all battery over night and alarm doesnt work in the morning.

if you dont need 100% reliability from stock rom. i recommend 99% reliability of cm7(temasek build) with ram hack kernel.

i tried new one ROM, but it not all that stable for my 2X.

Now i use ROM Nova HD RC17-30.
[LG Optimus 2x] my_dnl:
What version?
[LG Optimus 2x] Magiya1988:
Use Temasek KANG builds until Tegra binaries are popped out for cm9 work
[LG Optimus 2x] andresilva:
Hello,

Try the v20q by flix123 plus the v20q pack. I think it's taking the stock roms to another level of stability and performance. You can put the spica1234's sr3r2 on top plus the pp10r and you have smooth, long lasting stock experience!

The gueste kernel is also very. very good.

I also suggest is to reboot the phone after each flash because with me it reboots when i enter the market if i put in there more than one flashing at once.

cheers

hey guys,

Rom, maybe an AOKP or CM9 kang.

i think i speak on almost everyones behalf when i say work on these will be highly appreciated and donated to :):):)
[HTC One X] dr9722:
If you want AOSP then get a Galaxy Nexus. The best thing about this phone is Sense 4.0
[HTC One X] HTC-Gunge:
In your (and my) opinion but not in everyone's... some people love the iconic design but would like to see it house ICS as google intended it. I hope we see a pure ASOP rom.

abhijit1289 I would say its almost guaranteed that some one will release an ASOP / CM9 rom for this device it will just take longer than Sense rom's due to drivers etc
[HTC One X] Spl4tt:
NOT!

i hoped for sense to be better now, but i still don't like it.

i hope there will be cm9 soon, or i die

and no, i don't like the galaxy nexus. i want this phone. this phone on a AOSP ROM! x)

That isn't correct. I would also like a AOSP rom but I wouldn't buy the Galaxy Nexus because of it's already outdated.

[Android General] CreatioSoft:
Steve Jobs HATED Android. Right?

In recent weeks, Larry Page has come forward claiming that Steve Jobs' personal hatred towards Android was just a show. It wasn't personal, claimed Page, but was instead meant to prove to shareholder that the two companies were serious rivals. Page claims he maintained a cordial relationship with Jobs up until his death.

However, according to Jobs biographer Walter Isaacson, the late CEO of Apple really did hate Android's guts on a deep and personal level...no ifs, ands, or buts about it.

Speaking last night at the Royal Institution in the UK, Isaacson provided context for Steve Jobs's Android-rage. He said that Jobs had been upset ever since Bill Gates adopted Apple's graphical user interface for Windows, then liscencing the OS to Dell, IBM and other manufacturers. And he felt like the rise of Android was a repeat of this unfair cycle of companies copying Apple's design and passing it off as if it were their own.

Jobs thought Apple devices were "almost copied verbatim by Android," Isaacson explained to the crowd. "And then they licence it around promiscuously. And then Android starts surpassing Apple in market share, and this totally infuriated him," the author added. "It wasn't a matter of money. [Jobs] said: 'You can't pay me off, I'm here to destroy you.'"

Of course, we all know where all of this hatred ended up: endless patent litigations between Apple and various Android manufacturers. Who knows if Page truly had a "cordial" relationship with Jobs, but I'm guessing not. Jobs really believed that Android had ripped him off, and seems to have completely ignored Android OS's major differences AND the fact that Apple later copied many of Android's best features.
[Android General] transvin:
Apple and Google have always been rivals to each other.
[Android General] I Am Marino:
I respected Jobs but he's a nut, he thinks he created everything worth while technologically speaking.
[Android General] Guru Zeb:
i never even respected him much .......... if you'd been privy to some of the internal industry scuttle butt about his manner and behaviour with employees and 3rd party partners you'd maybe feel the same way.

It was an efficient corporate manager ....... much like ebola is an efficient infection.

But mos of that efficiency was completely based on being beyond ruthless and having no regard at all for the effects his actions had on other individuals, as long as it furthered his goals.

Thats exactly why Apple gave him the boot back in the old days ..... its all documented.
[Android General] Naria9:
Interesting little read, thank you.

I've always been intrigued about market spin on these so-called rivals, and the behind the scenes truth.
[Android General] spunker88:
I just wonder where the anti-trust lawsuits are when Apple goes around trying to sue competitors out of existence while already having a pretty high market share in the smartphone sector.

Luckily there is an anti-trust suit going on right now about Apple fixing prices on e-books. Apparently the 50+ % markup on the iPad wasn't enough for them. I don't see how in this day and age Apple users still think Apple is morally better than Microsoft when they are really just as bad.
[Android General] votinh:
In technical and marketing fields, Steve was a genius.

In life, he wasn't so much lovable man.
[Android General] Guru Zeb:
No not even remotely ....... your buying into the commonly purported 'one man tech company' myth ....... anyone with a clue, who knows how a tech company actually works, knows that's utter garbage.

But is a very useful marketing/PR hook to hang the hat of a so called charismatic CEO on.

He was an efficient manager ....... with a good sense for grandiose phrasing.
