[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azalex86:
I have both an HD2 and a Nexus One. The HD2 has a 4.3" TFT display and looks gorgeous. It doesn't have a very defined pixel grid look that you can see if you stare at your Nexus One up close, so it looks more blended.

On the flip side, the Nexus One's vibrancy is hands down better. While watching movies on the HD2, I loved the size of the image, but to be honest, I prefer the color of the Nexus One's screen.

Outside in the sunlight, the HD2 wins. It still gets horrible glare, but no where near as bad as the Nexus One.

With all of that being said, I prefer the Nexus One's screen. Not going to talk about the size differences and their pros and cons, because that's a separate subject altogether. I'm mostly indoors for my job, and being a graphics designer, I enjoy the contrast that the OLED screen can deliver. It's not exactly color accurate, but since this is a phone and not being used as a design device, it doesn't matter...it looks gorgeous. So long as people don't appear as orange aliens, I enjoy the contrast. (Go stare at some of the TVs on display in major retail stores...they jack the contrast up to ridiculous levels to try to wow the viewer, but make things look downright stupid)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topdnbass:
I see, that's pretty much like I expected.

The OLED displays will have a more pixel grid display because each pixel is actually a tiny LED. For me that's fine, as long as its not blatant.

So then the best choice would probably be AMOLED that's good in sunlight aka super amoled.

Have you tried playing with the brightness in the sunlight?

I haven't actually experienced an amoled screen yet, but i would think that if you turned the brightness up to max it would like quite okay in the sun.

At least that's how my G1 (TFT LCD) was.

Thanks for the input btw!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Settembrini:
From the start I could not understand the positive voices for the AMOLED display. I had a Galaxy and I hated it. Now I have the Nexus and I hate the UNNATURAL colours. They are ghastly! If I had the choice between a Nexus with TFT or AMOLED screen I would certainly pick a TFT.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobdude5:
isnt the supersonics screen a little brighter and more vibrant than the hd2? it sure seemed soo in the pictures and videos i saw
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] big_adventure:
I have the two available high-end android devices - the Milestone (GSM version of the Droid, though with non-unlockable bootloader :-( ) and the Nexus One.

The 'stone has a 854x480 TFT, and the N1 has an 800x480 AMOLED.

Inside, the N1 screen wins - it is incredibly bright, less battery hungry, and has notably better contrast. The Milestone is good, but the N1 is better.

Another N1 advantage is that, even though both screens are 3.7 inches, the milestone is taller and narrower in portrait mode, making the portrait-mode keyboard harder to use for those of us with freakishly-large hands.

Outside, however, it just isn't even close. The Milestone is the best color screen I've ever seen on a large screen phone under bright light. It is absolutely usable in bright sunlight - you can take photos, check out a youtube video, read your RSS feeds, tweets, maps, whatever with absolutely no problem at all. The N1 is almost unusable in direct sunlight - there is just too much glare from the substrate and touch layers. And if you are also wearing sunglasses, forget it, you can't see a thing. Even an iPhone 3GS or iPod Touch (3rd gen) are mush less readable in bright conditions than the Milestone.

Samsung's new S-AMOLED is meant to bond the touch layer into the AMOLED surface directly, taking out a glare / difraction / etc. layer, and making the screen good in bright light. I have my doubts that it will be as good as a strong TFT in those conditions, but we'll see. It will certainly be thinner, better indoors and less power hungry
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vegetaleb:
I don't have yet a N1 but I had the samsung Jet back in fall ,it had an amoled screen. It was quite good under sunlight,colors are washed out but you can clearly read SMS text or use the menu.

Now playing games in summer at the beach at 12am...forget about it and try take spy pics of string gurls with your 5mp ;)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azalex86:
Yeah, even with the Nexus One set to 100%, the readability is around the HD2 with 50-60% brightness outside. Thankfully it is only a problem in direct sunlight.

I believe they are the same screen in both devices, but could be wrong. We'll have to wait until they can do a proper side by side with the exact same lightness settings.

A 4.3" Super AMOLED screen would be nice. I would never buy a phone with a bigger display than that, because it would become uncomfortable to use, and at that point, you might as well just buy a tablet.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GlenH:
I would suggest you have a screen that is defective if it has really noticeable colour deviations.

Obviously it's not a properly colour calibrated display, but everything looks perfectly natural on mine (skin tones etc), with no significant over saturation or hue shifts.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockky:
yeah, I'm a big outdoor guy and not looking forward to dealing with this screen outdoors....sucks.

Whatever happened to transflective technology...loved that on my old tilt.

Guys, aren't there screen cover/protectors that deflect or whatever and that make the screen readable in sunlight?

thanks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azalex86:
There are anti-glare protectors that help eliminate some of the glare by dispursing it better, but even then it's still pretty bad. The main issue is due to having no backlight like a TFT.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Settembrini:
No, there is nothing wrong with the colour calibration. Girlfriend has also got a Nexus and I have seen others and even on photos here on the internet you can see the unnatural colours of the screen.

Have a look at the first post where you can find the question, if it were true that the colours are unnatural referring to Engadget. And yes, the colours are unnatural. I like the Nexus, do not get me wrong, but I do not like the colours of AMOLED screens. They are awful.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topdnbass:
There are definitely protectors that do that, but I don't like the feel of anything but glass on a touch screen.. That's just me though.

Hey I noticed in your sig that you have an iphone and nexus, how would you compare the two? The screen and everything else (you should make another thread for that though).

Damn that's pretty bad, cause with the TFT on my G1 I always had to turn it up to max to get a decent display.

So assuming the HD2 is similar (same technology), then AMOLED must be pretty bad in sunlight.

Lol, spy pics.

I know the AMOLED's are pretty great indoors, but when you say incredibly bright... If viewing late at night in bed for example, is it too bright even on the lowest setting?

I'd like a phone that can be very dim or very bright.

Have you compared side-by-side? I can't believe that they're THAT bad.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Settembrini:
@topdnbass

Have you compared side-by-side? I can't believe that they're THAT bad.

Yes, I have. I do it all the time, as I have still a G1 to compare the Nexus with. If it is "THAT bad" I can't say only that I do not like it and that I would certainly prefer a TFT if had the choice.

Why do you think did the guys from Engadget think the colours to be "unnatural"?

In the end it might not matter that much as it doesn't reduce the functions of the gadget. Other people might even like it, I do not.

S.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobdude5:
i personally love it..the colors pop out they look gorgeous
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vegetaleb:
Compared to TFT capacitive screens Amoled are less good under sunlight but they are still usable and certainly much more than HTC WM phones like Diamond and Touch HD
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] big_adventure:
You seem to put a lot of faith in what Engadget says. I'm not saying that everything is perfectly flat, but I have a few hundred perfectly-exposed photos from my Nikon D90, all taken with pro glass, on my Nexus, and the colors are not bad at all. They are, well, let's call them "well saturated", but nothing remotely unpleasant - to be honest, given the tiny screen (I take photos be be blown up BIG), the saturation is probably an advantage. And they look notably, even considerably better on the N1 than on an iPhone / iPod touch third-gen.

All of that is my opinion - and I like saturated colors. But I also like skin that still looks like skin, and the N1 delivers that to my eyes.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Settembrini:
Gee, didn't I say that it is my opinion and that others might think differently? What you call saturated colours I call unnatural and for me and maybe only for me the colours are an eyesore, but I like the Nexus nevertheless.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topdnbass:
big_adventure, you gave me a thought.

I think the best way to really compare these technologies is to have the same image of something, like a HQ picture of your skin.

On both of the phones.

Then compare the output to eachother and to the real life color of your skin.

I said to compare to eachother because a cameras snapshot can change the color, flash, settings, and what not.

Sounds stupid, but maybe what some people define as unnatural on a display, is actually quite natural.

Don't compare how the android OS looks, compare an image within the OS.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flarbear:
Well, if you are going to be wandering around a beach at midnight you probably won't run into too many girls to take pictures of. And they'd probably notice the flash going off so it wouldn't be much of a "spy shot".

;)

(Edit: To be fair, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12-hour_clock#Confusion_at_noon_and_midnight mentions that am/pm by definition don't make any sense for noon and midnight and are thus often confused. But, the sources it quotes that do assign meaning to 12am and 12pm all seem to call 12am midnight and 12pm noon. It's probably why most of the parking signs in SF are now starting to use "12:01am" when they want to talk about late night street cleaning restrictions...that, and the fact that 12am is also ambiguous as to whether it refers to the start of a day or the end of a day...)

Hello,

After a crash screen accident, I gave the broken phone to a repair shop to replace the screen and gave them my black housing in order to replace the white one.

They gave me back the phone. everything works, except gps: no detection. The shop told me it was due to my 'fake' housing but I suspect an antenna problem? how can I test that? someone could tell me where is that antenna?

another symptom: if in put the gps on, and try 'gps test', the gps icon appears and flashing (suggesting that gps is working), but no detection. The device becomes hot quickly and battery empties out quickly too....

thanks for your help
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hparra:
GPS antenna may be made out of ceramic, so depending on how bad your accident was it could be broken. My phone was run over, and even though I replaced the screen and digitizer myself the GPS is weak and the accelerometer is dead.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] dubmehard:
it's exactely what has happened to me.

there's another similar discussion on thread n. 6178625 (can't post link as a noob member)

and here's what I wrote:

after I replaced the housing, the gps died.

no way to fix the signal: the gps is on but it dosen't find any sat.

this is the service manual:

I was wondering: where the gps antenna is located? is it the same for the gsm/umts one (i.e. the plastic part in the bottom of the back)?

please keep this up, we must find a solution

I have a Tmo US HD2 and I had bought a Vikuiti screen protector to have it ready for when I got got my HD2 before I realized there was a size difference. It doesn't fit perfectly edge to edge, but it's not as bad as I was worried it would be. I actually haven't installed it yet, but I will in the next day or 2 and i'll post pictures if you want. I don't think the size difference will be too noticeable.

The Vikuiti screen protector covers the entire glass area, including around the keys and over the sensors... not just the screen. It's the best protector out there according to the research I've done. Made by 3M.
