[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] waylo:
Just in case anyone else is in the same boat.

I received my repaired RMA's GN a full 2 months+ after submitting it. Apparently Google bought up all the OMAP processors for the Nexus Q, so there were NONE available for use in repairs. Annoying, but that's how it goes.

I restored an old nandroid from before the phone completely died which had the wallet app on it. I ran it.

Somehow, the app detected that things were not exactly in the same state, and gave me the option to reset the wallet app. Which I gladly did. There was no lockout error at all, thank goodness. I then tried to re-login to wallet. It worked, sort of. I could see my history, but I couldn't attach the google prepaid card from before, which had maybe $5 left on it (it timed out the few times I tired). I didn't pursue it that aggressively, so, maybe with more attempts it would have worked.

In retrospect, I discovered that my IMEI for that bootup was a generic one (this has to do with restoring the data/radio portion of a nandroid onto a new phone, though theoretically this phone should have the same IMEI as before). Not sure if the wallet app was using that to compare and thus thought the wallet app data was not completely aligned.

Anyway, I'm guessing the secure element in this phone is at least still functional.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dnlsmy:
You do know that Nandroid backups do not backup the EFS partition, which houses your IMEI right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] waylo:
Yes I do. But there's an important point I discovered earlier while replacing my GNex, which is not immediately obvious:

Nandroids back up the data directory. Which on Samsungs, include data/radio.

Within this directory is nv_data.bin and nv_data.bin.md5. With every boot, the data from these files is checked with the hardware.

If you take another phone's nandroid and restore it on your phone, the nv_data.bin and md5 will not match the IMEI. The checksum that occurs at boot will result in an error, which results in a generic IMEI being displayed.

So obviously you won't "clone" the first phone's IMEI. But you won't have a normal IMEI yourself.

To fix this, you simply copy the same files from /factory (or the EFS partition or whatever you want to call it) and put those into data/radio.

The odd thing here was this is supposedly the same exactly phone from before, just the processor replaced. The IMEI should be the same. The nandroid was made on this phone. So it wasn't clear why the checksum here didn't match up.

Hey

For some reason a friend of mines WhatsApp doesn't make a notificatin sound when a meesage incomes. The options are selected and when selecting a tone and previewing it, it sounds.

What could be wrong?

Thanks

Whatsapp has it's quirks in all platforms. Try to uninstall the app, clear your caches and delete off the Whatsapp folder in your SDcard , some buggy settings might be left behind so best to clean everything up. Reinstall and see if it works.

There is no specific thread on this forum about the subject, but I believe you can refer to this one on the 10.1 tab forum : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1336659&highlight=t-mobile+unlock

Just make sure you back up your entire /efs folder (save it on your computer and your tablet) before making any change. I had succesfully unlocked my classic Galaxy Tab 7 inch editing the nv_data.bin file, but that's another story.

[HTC One X] Super-Veloce:
So I got my One X since thursday and noticed my screen has a "Yellow tint". I compared it with my Desire HD, which is more white..

Went to some shops to compare it.. one had about the same, and the other I compared with, had a noticeble difference, like on these pictures

Started a search at Google and found this post:

Can someone confirm this quote? Is the "Yellow Tint" better?

Because I'm doubting about going to exchange my phone in the store
[HTC One X] hamdir:
here is my feedback on this I spent time with both, both have their virtues, keep in mind out of box both will be extra yellower than usual due to lamination glue, needs few days to reach full brightness n colors
[HTC One X] Super-Veloce:
you can adjust your screen with this app; Screen Adjuster

Add for example, +12 to blue

But it makes your phone a little less smooth..
[HTC One X] Meltus:
Well the HTC One X has a "Super IPS LCD2" screen whereas the iPhone 4 has a "LED-backlit IPS TFT", so while the yellow-tinted screen may be better on the iPhone, it might not necessarily be the same for the One X.
[HTC One X] Super-Veloce:
True, but I think it's similar to the One X, despite the screen difference.

What do you think is better? The "Yellow tint" or the "Blue tint" screen?
[HTC One X] r_a_c:
Does one of the phones run a custom rom on the pic of the two X's.

Or why is one bar green and the other blue on the brightness bar?
[HTC One X] Meltus:
Yeah, I'm not saying your OP (or the guy you quoted) is wrong or anything, just some things to think about :)

We need to get the 2 screens side by side really to fully test them out.
[HTC One X] Super-Veloce:
Both stock.. you can change your HTC theme, when you use the HTC aluminium skin, you'll get blue instead of green
[HTC One X] Super-Veloce:
on the picture it shows 2 next to each other, both stock

also, I went to the city yesterday, to check with some demo models

1 got the "yellow tint" and the other one got the "blue tint, more white"
[HTC One X] jonstatt:
Comparing the output of the "yellow" screen with my calibrated monitor, I don't think it is over-saturated. It looks pretty "bang-on" in that aspect and one of the best phone screens I have seen in that regard. So if the "white" screen is less saturated, it is probably that one that is more wrong in that regard.

Saying that, I don't really care how accurate a phone screen is as long as it looks pleasing to the eye. In that regard, I would probably prefer the whiter one.

Often the reason for colour temperature choices of backlight is to do with the saturation.

One of my 6 HTC One Xs had the whiter screen and it was immediately apparent that it was different. It also had different viewing angles to the yellowy one. However, it was also clear that while it was brighter, that black level was not as good either.

Neither screen is perfect....and trying to find the whiter one is like a lottery because there are clearly less of those in circulation so far.

After quite a number of years we are still scrapping around to get screens with good backlights, good colour temperature, good uniformity, no bleed, no stuck/dead pixels. Technology has not moved as fast as I would have hoped.
[HTC One X] myself11:
I think the biggest issue is not which screen is the best, but that the consumer doesn't know what he's going to get. That's really bad and unacceptable. The difference is too big to be a normal situation.
[HTC One X] Super-Veloce:
Ok, than I just keep the one I got now :D
[HTC One X] hamdir:
i know the warm one might look less appealing to the eye, since colder tint is always more eye pleasing but the warm one has a lot going on for it

better blacks and hence better contrast, flawless in banding test and most importantly no visible pixel grid (the scan-line like grid on the white version)

both are amazing, much better contrasts than the iPhone4 Retina display and iPad3

and i really think we are starting to get spoiled if we exchange for this reason
[HTC One X] Meltus:
Gah, sorry, the pictures didn't show up for me when I posted ><

The "blue tint" looks a lot better in my opinion, I realise the "yellow tint" one may technically be better, but the "blue tint" is much easier on the eye. :)
[HTC One X] kholk:
I've got a blue tint display on my One X and I've had some yellow tint display devices (not One X, but some "old" Motos with LCD and some other HTCs with LCD).

I've always hated the yellow tint and I find the blue one is better.

Also, I've tried to get a blue tint using screen adjuster softwares on my yellow tint displays, without any particular success....while on blue tint displays I've been able to get yellow tint just fine.

Personally, I think blueish ones are better.
[HTC One X] schiphol:
Have any of you complaining (op not intended) actually compared the two screens on THIS phone. I did a little test in the store and can confirm what has been said here about warmer tinted ips screens. The yellow one, on this phone, is amazing the contrast is deep, colors jump from the screen and I found that even the viewing angle was far superior to the colder tinted screen. I specifically bought the warmer tinted screen as, apart from displaying an entirely white screen, I and the store employees all found it to be much much better, very close to amoled.
[HTC One X] expertzero1:
Most people arn't returning their phones because yellow screen is not a issue for them. Interesting
[HTC One X] hamdir:
I can confirm this except the view angles which get darker on the yellow screen

depth and contrast for sure like amoled, also it has a significant advantage if you look close the screen doesn't not show any pattern, while the whiter acer screen has a horizontal lines grid

people who updated to 1.29 are saying it cures the extra yellow if that is the case on the yellow screen, it becomes the winner in my eye

I really hate the grid on the acer screen it reduces pixel density, it's very faint but its there

I would definitely change back to the yellow/sharp if I get the change, its more impressive overall and calibration can always be fixed either by an HTC update or dev efforts
[HTC One X] sebsal:
Never noticed a yellow tint on my phones original screen. When I got it back from repair it now has a yellow tint. Definately noticable to acceptable to me
[HTC One X] Colincompagny:
If you have this issue, just call HTC and tell them about your situation, they will normally replace it with a new one.

And how do we know that it's the cold one?
[HTC One X] farnsbarns:
I have A/B'd the two and I prefer the warmer display. I have the warmer display and I am getting a replacement today. I hope its the warmer display again. Actually, it just arrived!
[HTC One X] hamdir:
just like i cant stand the amoled pentile matrix, i dont like an LCD pixel grid or scan lines its a sort of fact pixel density both, all HTC Acer screens had this issue

in fact i like it cleanest, of course at this high density the pixel grid on the ACER display is hard to see it but definitely if i get the choice again i choose the yellow one
[HTC One X] ArtXT:
how to know what brand your screen was?
[HTC One X] hamdir:
The American One X has a display made by Sony, how did he pull it the name of the vendor?

Our One X panels ids:

The warmer one have panel_id=0x294000f

How do you get the panel id?
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
A while ago I read the international did too but I couldn't re-find the source. They XL has yellow/blue panels too so maybe the cool one is made by Sony.
[HTC One X] johnl199:
Just got the AT&T one x. After owning the international one x for over a month, I can easily see that the AT&T's screen is FAR superior as far as color accuracy, viewing angles, and clarity. For some reason, the AT&T screen looks much clearer too.
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
I compared mine to a XL in the AT&T store yesterday and the XL seemed dingy (it was a cool display) next to it. The AT&T drone thought so too but didn't have another one to compare to. The auto-brightness between them is different too with the XL being the dimmer of the two.
[HTC One X] johnl199:
I don't know what panel I got (how do I check), but my AT&T screen is noticeably warmer. it makes my international one look like a super amoled screen on whites (too much blue). And my AT&T looks sharper, brighter, and has way better color accuracy.
[HTC One X] vinuneuro:
Could someone please post how to check which panel a phone has got?
[HTC One X] Hunt3r.j2:
I believe you pull a dmesg from terminal emulator at bootup, email it to yourself and then use the find function in browser to find the line that says it.

[HTC One X] jonstatt:
My friend just bought an HTC One X from Amazon UK. Amazingly it was still an HT23 phone, but a much later serial number than mine. There appears to be a third type of screen. He doesn't plan to root it, so I can't be sure.

I have the yellowy screen. His is not the white white, but its not yellowy either. Its somewhere inbetween. His colours are slightly more saturated than mine, and black level is even better. When the phone screens are switched off, and held under a light, the actual colour of the LCD panel is slightly lighter grey. They change differently when held at different angles. No visible grid lines on either phone.

So I am fairly convinced there is a third manufacturer here or it could just be a change from the same manufacturer.

Looks like he got a good one by the way. No excessive gaps anywhere, no ripple, no flex/creak. The only thing we noticed is that it already had marks on the inside of the USB charging socket as if it had been plugged in before. But the phone was sealed and showed no evidence of being used before. Perhaps they connect to the USB in the factory.
[HTC One X] antipesto93:
I have two One x's, One has a yellow tint and the other has a blue(well i said pink) tint!

The blueish one is better on the whites but the yellow one is better everywhere else
[HTC One X] mali019:
2 HOX's . The one on the left (the white one) is mine and the one on the right is the new one we received in stock today. The yellow screen one has all the defects listed here. Scratches inside the screen, dust under the screen, flickering screen, extreme yellow tint, flexing screen.... this were the first things I saw when I inspected the phone. Sent it back to the supplier straight away.

I used to think my one had a yellow screen :) When I compare my one to a Galaxy s2 or Galaxy note, the galaxy phones end up looking like there screen is under a blue tinted glass. The blue tint on the galaxy phones became really noticeable when compared to HOX screen.
[HTC One X] vinuneuro:
There is a third manufacturer. One XL's (ATT/Rogers) only seem to have Sony screens, and so far it seems One X's use only Acer or Sharp.

How to check which one you have.

[DISP] PANEL type =

Sharp 0x294000f

Acer 0x4940014

Sony 0x18103 (PANEL_ID_ELITE_SONY_NT)
[HTC One X] hamdir:
this is the disaster i've been experiencing unboxing hoxes in my country, most of them ending like the one you described, i bet it had heavy LCD ripple too! can you explain the dust under the screen?

---------- Post added at 01:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:31 PM ----------

the beloved white screen (acer) which i have, has visible grid lines, i can see them when you using the phone without my glasses and somehow drop the perceived pixel density (but its just me im a pixel freak)

the yellow one (sharp) had no lines whatsoever and combined with the higher contrast it has a clearer sharper image
[HTC One X] mali019:
There were visible dust particles under the screen.The screen had all the defects you can think off. All the ones we sell have a yellower screen. My one is a week old and if Im not imagining things the screen has gotten whiter.
[HTC One X] jonstatt:
i will ask him to check. The phone is not with me now. This is a One X not an XL, but possibly some of the Sony panels are in the Xs as well. This was definitely not the white white panel that has less saturated colours, and clearly it was different to my own one...so I am convinced there are 3 panel types for the X. Funnily enough it does look very much like the Xperia S saturation levels now you mentioned it..so perhaps it is the Sony one.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
you mean the grain dust effect visible at angles? lol its in 99% of HOXes i've unboxed or checked in store!

and yes the yellow does get better with time, my first HOX had the yellow sharp screen which was badly uneven yellow out of box, in a week it became really nice
[HTC One X] antoniotdi:
Excuse me for my english ..:p

My panel 0x294000f after upgrade 1.29.401.7 loses yellow tendency and white for me now is a beautiful white, not too cold, but WHITE.

Display now is splendid, perfect for me.

I made a video: panel 0x294000f fw 1.29.401.7

look at 720p :)

same for me, had a kinda yellow tint screen, compared to my Desire HD with HTC One V port rom..

but after using it a week, updating twice (to 1.28 and 1.29), it became whiter :)

got a perfect One X, no problems at all, fast and good battery life! :)
[HTC One X] smoke2:
I have screen from Sharp - no yellow spots, very good, rich colors, minimum flickering, no bright or dead pixel.
[HTC One X] jonstatt:
This all gets very confusing.

My friends HTC One X is the

Acer 0x4940014

However it is NOT as white as one HOX I saw. It is whiter than mine. According to other reports the Acer has LESS saturated colours. On this one, the colours are MORE saturated! According to others the Acer has a worse black level. On this one, the black level is BETTER than mine.

Very confused now...oh and no visible grid either.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
lol yea crazy :eek:
[HTC One X] Super-Veloce:
ah well, the one screen got this, the other got that... I'm satisfied with mine, at first, it was to yellow, but after 2 weeks, it's better, I'm satisfied :)

if you're not satisfied, than try to switch your phone at the store ;)

or send it to HTC with a note, which screen you want ;)
[HTC One X] hamdir:
lol i want the yellow one, the cleaner the pixel grid the better
[HTC One X] Super-Veloce:
found out I got a Sharp screen
[HTC One X] hoangtu2410:
yellow-ish again ? What do you think ?
[HTC One X] mrt159:
I have a yellow tinted screen as well. Didn't notice it at all before I held my HOX beside my old DS. DS had very bright whites and HOX screen seemed so dull in comparison but definitely has better blacks.

The yellow is not that noticeable when using the device alone and I'm not disturbed by it at all. But I liked my DS screen and it's bright whites a little bit more.
[HTC One X] jonstatt:
I thought the 1.29.x.x update made the yellow screens look more white?
[HTC One X] hamdir:
been trying to find a pixel grid microscope photo for the acer screen but no luck

I think all the One X images found on the web are from the sharp screen
[HTC One X] vegetaleb:
My only complaint about the whiter screen is that

some

yellows turn to green, reds to yellows.

Of course blue and green channels are great

I think none of the 2 screens have perfect colors calibrations,it remembers me of super amoled screens...
[HTC One X] hamdir:
you think this one is amoled? :D

you didn't see the sharp yet! the other one is very saturated and "deep" really similar to amoleds

you are the first to complain about the white calibration if you want my opinion the levels between whites and black are not good, you get slightly washed out whites

you know me, i guess i won't rest until i get the yellow screen back lol

i don't know i'm just not enjoying the Acer screen as much as i enjoyed the first one
[HTC One X] hoangtu2410:
I think HTC can make a patch to re-calibrate the screen for anyone to make their yellow more white, i don't think it's the hardware problem
[HTC One X] Super-Veloce:
if it's not the hardware, the lcd-panel... than why do we have a difference? because the software is the same.. all sharps have a yellow tint screen, all acer's are more white..

so, it's the panel/hardware

but maybe, with some software, we can get better white values at the sharp screens
[HTC One X] farnsbarns:
I'm not sure but my screen was not only warn but had a green tinge on dark greys, since 1.29.401.11 this seems to have improved a little. My screen was well within normal tolerances and not a problem but I do feel it improved slightly.
[HTC One X] danton11:
Has anyone experienced having a white screen then it turns yellow and then back to white again?

Edit

when I go outside its yellow. Inside its white. On auto brightness.

Edit 2

Same when not on auto brightness.
[HTC One X] hoangtu2410:
i hope the screen's manufacturer calibrated it before send it to HTC. Because i see Dell Ultrasharp's display user always use a hardware and software tool to re-calibrate their display before use.It call Spyder Express or something like that. I just hope, really love my HOX, no flicker, no any issue with the screen except the panel so yellow
[HTC One X] Super-Veloce:
Same for me, perfect One-X, except the yellow tint

Got my One-X for about a month, after a month of use and all updates, it's less yellow, almost good white now @ full brightness, but still not the white I had on the Desire HD.

Oke 2 different LCD, but the One X uses SLCD2, so it should be better
[HTC One X] vegetaleb:
Geez!

Today I tried a wallpaper with yellow grass (autumn), they turned red on my HOX :eek:

I had to decrease the pic's saturation to have good colors,there is defnitively a problem with yellows on HOX,but it was the same on all my SLCD HTC phones (DHD and Sensation)

If only HTC releases a full display control with HUE and saturation like on TVs it will be great :D
