I've got a Mogul and unfortunately it seems HTC went on the cheap with Kaiser's LCD as well. The only (somewhat adequate) solution I found is to:

a) Install a Boxwave anti-glare screen protector;

b) Install a dark theme, ideally pitch black (dark colors absorb light);

c) Set backlight to maximum.

I wasn't too thrilled about an anti-glare screen protector but found a dark theme compensates for the lack of clarity.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] freecall:
Kaiser is full sunlight (tested on a market yesterday in Paris) is not useable in the Cameramode .. you will just see shapes of the picture . no details.

I even installed a brando contrast increasing screen protector .. but I find it very hard to see. Worst than my old MDA II.

In car with a bit shadow it is okay. But video and camera in the sun is a no go ...

Changes in specifications

If you check the Kaiser User manual docs from FCC site, the display is transflective: https://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/oet/forms/blobs/retrieve.cgi?attachment_id=791339&native_or_pdf=pdf

In the User manual from HTC site, the word "transflective" disappeared: http://www.htc.com/support/pdf/htctytnII/Kaiser_HTC_English_Manual_web.pdf

Strange!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Menneisyys:
Well, actually, ALL current screns are transflective, NOT plain transmissive. If you doubt this, just compare the transmissive screen of a color Casio PPC (E-115, E-125, E-200, E-750 etc.) or a JJornada 680 / 720 screen to any other screen out there in outdoor light and you'll see the difference.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Menneisyys:
Believe me, I've seen thousands of PPC's in my life, the Kaiser IS transflective.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] abubasim:
A bit of a gadget geek, eh? All personally owned devices? :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Menneisyys:
Not all :) Just a gadget freak. for example, I have some 3-4 Casio Pocket PC's because they have the best gaming controls. Those PDA's were transmissive - outdoors, FAR worse than any transflective screen I've ever seen. The same stands for the HP Jornada's I've listed - the Kaiser is WAY better.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] PhilipL:
Hi

I've seen loads as well and the Kaiser isn't transreflective. Have you compared it side by side with a transreflective device in daylight or direct sunlight?

There are a couple of reasons why there may be some confusion:

1) There are mixture of display types, perhaps some batches got transreflective displays, certainly it's not in the spec to be transreflective so this is a bonus if this is the case.

2) People don't really understand what it means to have a transreflective display.

kaiser's LCD is Transmissive

Here is a spec comparison page from HTC:

http://www.htc.com/product/03-product_compare_tytnII&p4350.htm
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] borealcool:
Forgetting about how ridiculous it is to use a transmissive display on a device equipped with GPS, HTC knew this was THE major complaint with Titan/Mogul. They still went ahead with that cheap display on Kaiser, it's infuriating and an insult to consumers :mad:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] abubasim:
Do you get a lot of sunlight up there in Canada? (I'd expect sunlight during Winter to be very bright, just like in my native Finland.) Have you tried the device outdoors in good weather?

I have owned three devices with touchscreens: Hermes, SE P990i and now the Kaiser (unlocked TyTN II). To list them according to view-ability in direct sunlight then the order (best first) would be: Kaiser, Hermes, P990i. The P990i's display turns almost completely black in sunlight. Not good when someone like me lives in a place where we get 355+ days of sunlight every year. The Kaiser's display is almost as good as the one on the Nokia E61i (non-touchscreen) I owned briefly two weeks ago.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RemE:
I can't believe that this thread is still going. If you want to verify if a display is trans-reflective, simply turn off the backlight. Or Indoors, use a bright flashlight, transreflective will be very clear and readable with the light full on it, transmissive will be washed away.

Now with Kaiser, they won't let you turn it off, but at minimum, in full sunlight, it's blank. It's not transreflective. With a good transreflective, the brighter the sun, the better the display readability.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] PhilipL:
Hi

Looks like HTC are shipping Kaisers with whatever LCD type they can get hold off which would explain why some say no transreflective, others say it certainly has.

Actually, i saw this today with my boss's phone, he just bought it, and it seemed "yellow-greenish" compared to mine, but i didn't pay much attention. They probably use transflective for the new ones.

I'm not yet sure if i'm happy mine is not transflective or not...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Entropy512:
Definately not transflective.

About the only thing I miss about my Treo 650 is daylight performance.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] borealcool:
Exactly. The only downside to transflective is when you're in a situation where light is neither bright or scarse, at dawn for example. With

today's

transflective technology, there is no excuse to equip top of the line devices with transmissive displays. Especially not GPS enabled devices. Even the iPhone has a transflective display and is completely readable in direct sunlight, at 399$.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] abubasim:
A correction to my post: yes, definitely the Kaiser is not transflective. If you angle it so that sunlight is reflected off the back of the display, then the display becomes completely blank. Having said that, I still find the Kaiser to be as readable outside in daylight as the Hermes was, at least when the backlight has been cranked up a bit and as long as the sun doesn't hit the display directly.

For a commercial company, there is

the best reason in the world

: increasing profit margin. At the expense of customer satisfaction, of course!

Different LCD screens on Kaiser.

Hello,

Being the owner of two (HTC branded) Kaisers with different screens (http://www.modaco.com/content/HTC-Kaiser-Kaiser-MoDaCo-com/261008/TyTN-II-with-different-screens-/) I had a closer look at the two devices (after having read all the interesting stories about different screentypes of course).

In my opinion both Kaiser screens (however different they may be) are not transreflective as they both turn dark in direct sunlight with maximum reduced backlight.

It appears that in the darker (black green) sceen of the two a thin transparent layer of foil is visible.

This foil has tiny dots (holes?) in it, separeted 2mm from eachother.

This layer can only be seen with the help of a strong lightsource and only in a specific angle. It is not visible when the backlight is switched on.

In the brighter (dark green) screen this layer seems not to be present, or it must be present without holes/dots because that is the only way I can identify it.

The fact remains that these screens are totally different from eachother and you cannot tell which one you have until you've seen the one that is different.

I think it's a shame tha HTC sells these (rather pricey) devices with different specs without informing their customers.

Regards,

radekker
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] borealcool:
That sounds precisely like the description of a reflective LCD, which is slightly better than transmissive, but not as efficient as transflective in direct sunlight. At these prices, HTC is pulling a fast one on consumers with these cheap LCDs on Titan/Kaiser.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] goestoeleven:
Can confirm that my Tilt is definitely NOT transflective as well (which is BS!)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] lungothrin:
Could someone post the pictures of the two LCDs?!

I cant understand what kind is mine?!!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] goestoeleven:
It's very simple: if you can view your screen in direct sunlight with the backlight turned off, it's transflective. If you can't, it's not.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] borealcool:
Transmissive vs. Transflective

Pictured above is an unretouched photo of two Stealth model Rugged Notebooks side-by-side taken in direct sunlight. The one on the left is equipped with standard “Transmissive” LCD Technology (maximum backlight), and the one on the right is equipped with “Transflective” LCD Technology. The obvious benefit is not only being able to handle such equipment in harsh conditions, but being able to use it in bright light conditions and full sunlight outdoors.

windows mobile iphone htc kaiser tilt titan mogul lcd transmissive transflective bright light
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] abubasim:
For those of us annoyed that the TyTN II has a transmissive display while the TyTN has a transflective and hence the newer, better(?) PDA has an inferior display, HTC did something clever. Go and look at a recent model of the TyTN and you will see that this also has got a transmissive display now! I bought one a few weeks ago and was disappointed to notice that the display was completely unreadable in direct sunlight, i.e. worse than the TyTN II which is very bright.

My TyTN has the serial HT716.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] 246810:
Is it just me or is the screen on the Touch Dual more firm and harder than the Kaiser?... The Touch Duals screen seems to feel almost glass like, kind of like the iphone's screen
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] NuShrike:
Think it's possible for us to buy a transflective screen and replace our stock Kaiser one, since people are already buying them to replace broken screens?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dantegl36:
Has anyone tried on of those transreflective screen protectors yet?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] scottnj1966:
I have not seen any htc device being transreflective.

I have had four models in my hand and none were.

The tilt has a very bright backlight which compinsates somewhat but it is not good in direct sunlight at all. I have a feeling most people here have not seen a real transreflective screen. I had a sony i300 which was. Best part of that phone besides the speakers
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] abubasim:
But how would that work, since the screen protector sits over the display?

My previous JASJAM (HERM100) definitely had a transflective screen. It was perfectly readable in direct sunlight, by angling it to make the sunlight reflect against the display:

My newer TyTN (HERM200 with a recent serial number) has a transmissive display.

The driver handling the backlight does also behave differently depending on the type of display. With a transmissive display, the backlight switches to a very low level when the backlight timeout occurs but doesn't go off until the phone goes to sleep (power timeout). With a transflective display, the backlight will go off completely upon backlight timeout, but you can still read the display in strong light.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] NuShrike:
I've seen this shiny, rainbow screen on a TyTN (8525) in my local Cingular store before the Kaiser came out. This is why I was shocked when the Kaiser looked nothing like it. Damn you HTC!

SOO, the screens are out there, maybe we can replace our Kaisers with aftermarket screens.

edit: IN fact, here's a transflective-looking screen for the 8525 (rainbow dispersion):

CM isn't building CM12.1 anymore since CM13 made it to the nightlies. Still, many patches continue to go into CM12.1 branch. That's why I've decided to continue building it, first for my own use, so I can also benefit from those latest patches. And anyone else on CM12.1 still can also enjoy them if they want!

I'm not taking any credit in the rom itself, I'm just building it. It's PURE CM12.1, no GApps, no mod added, nothing modified or removed.

I tried out CM13 last week before flashing CM12.1 today

GPS is now lightning quick on CM13. but recent builds (both April 15th) gave me bootloops . and yes I clean flashed...even wiping internal storage in flashing from OTG.. CM12.1 GPS is relatively slow and not as accurate

CM13 has Snap/Snapdragon camera. CM12.1 has Camera2, which sucks. BUT you can install CameraNextMod V10 on CM12.1

I absolutely HATE that plugging the phone to a USB port defaults to CHARGING rather than MTP on CM13.

EDIT: I just came home from work (night shift) and I can say battery is definitely better on CM13. but luckily, that's not an issue for me as I'm always near an outlet. If I was a battery fiend, I'd probably go OmniROM or something.
