Blue tint vs Yellow tint

This is what I am experiencing. I have three Samsung Fascinates. It looks like two are ok and one has a yellow tint. Is this correct or do two of them have a blue tint? I'll be taking them to a Verizon store today to test against some other ones.

Will post picture below. Can't post in this cuz its my first post.

[Vibrant General] Jodiuh:
Looks like blue, yellow, light blue.
[Vibrant General] STi489:
I have 2 Vibrants..1 has blue tint and the other is a warm nuetral color..The warm colered one is brighter.
[Vibrant General] Exador:
All the Galaxy phones I've seen so far have a blue tint to the display. Place a Galaxy phone side by side with any other phone and it's very noticable. It's a shame really, such a good phone ruined by a defective display. I'm surprised Samsung hasn't caught much flak over this issue. If it was an Iphone it would of been a big deal.
[Vibrant General] Jodiuh:
Well then you haven't seen mine. It has a very light blue which makes it cooler and easier on the eyes than my DROID 1/2. I've seen some Fascinate's w/ almost identical color temps as the D 1/2 as well.

Although, quite a few of the Vibrants I've seen have CRAZY BLUE screens. :eek::eek:
[Vibrant General] Exador:
If I was sure I could get one with a screen like yours then I'd definately own one. It really is a bad-ass phone, I just don't think I could live with it if the display was badly tinted.
[Vibrant General] VICosPhi:
I've two vibrant phones one with blue tint other one light yellow.The one which is light yellow is a replacement for one that was dark yellow

Somehow sent from my Vibrant
[Vibrant General] Jodiuh:
I went through the same thing w/ the Incredible and eventually wound up returning it. Red screen of death! Which, IMO, is FAR, FAR worse than blue.

Blue ~ annoying and irritating

Red ~ PAINFUL!!!

I've really only seen 1 or 2 Fascinates out of 10 w/ a nasty blue screen.
[Vibrant General] buddha99:
CyanogenMod 7 does not have a blue tint

I think it is a colour management scheme setting somewhere.

When I had CyanogenMod7 (CM7) on my phone (captivate), it seemed like it did not have the blue tint "problem". When I switched to other ROMS the blue tint came back.

Wondering if any one else has observed this on CM7.
[Vibrant General] krackers:
Voodoo color "corrects this"

This is normal though, a natural byproduct of the "Organic LED". Since it is organic, each one is slightly different. My is slightly red on lowest brightness, but doesn't bother me much. After flashing a kernel with voodoo color, it is corrected.
[Vibrant General] kunal21:
Problem resolved

The blue tint problem on white background was resolved after I changed the screen brightness to Auto
[Vibrant General] iunlock:
Just thinking outside the box here, would appreciate some input.

Most of the cases that I've seen have magnets to keep the flap closed.

Is the magnet on the case strong enough to affect the phone at all? Particularly the miniSD card, both the internal and/or external.

Last time I've checked, magnets and storage cards don't mix well....am I missing something here?
[Vibrant General] kizer:
I can't say much as for the cards, but I do recall magnetic flaps did cause havick on the G1's internal campus.
[Vibrant General] oakie:
It shouldn't, but it will affect the device's magnetic compass, requiring u to reset it by waving it around before using a compass app. It obviously won't work within proximity of the case, either.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
I have my old TP2 case which has a metal+magnetic closing flap, and it hasn't caused me any problems.
[Vibrant General] Flak_Munky:
I bought a case with the magnetic flap when I bought my Vibrant. So far, no issues because of it.
[Vibrant General] SSJ_Gomike:
Hmm.....well I have a case with a magnetic flap too and after about a week no issues have come up...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheNexxuvas:
So, decided since employees can't buy EVO's I'd go ahead and root my Hero to get a bit more longevity out of it, plus I don't currently have any PC builds on my docket to take up my spare time, so tinkering with my phone gives me something new to do that I haven't really messed with in almost a year back when I was flashing windows 6.1 ROMS on TP.

Tried some pretty cool ones so far, no complaints there, tried DarchDroid, and a couple of others, trying out Fresh 2.3.3 now.

Something I noticed is now quite irksome. I have checked it with each new ROM I try but all week I've been stuck on Rev 0, I somehow lost the ability to pick up Rev A on any ROM since moving off of stock 2.1.

Now I'm no newbie to ROMS, RF engineering, general tower info etc (been working for wireless companies 15 years, so I have almost 2 decades of knowledge in the field at least), but it's weird that this just starting happening when I broke down into root.

Is it possible I did something wrong when I ran the root instructions?

No amount of reprovisioning nor switching airplane mode/mobile network on/off has me re-picking it up. At first I thought maybe it was a graphical glitch, but no, I clearly tested it in two ways...

#1. Side by side with our store demo...mine states 0, store's states A, while indoors with a repeater antenna for iDen, CDMA, and EVDO.

#2. Testing speeds never clear over 300kpbs on mine, while the store demo on Rev A clears 1.2, 1.3, and even an occasional 1.5 spike steady with ookla speed tester app.

#3: All 16 tests across 3 channels of RF pass in a standardized RF Tester with Isolation box. The Transmitter in the phone is doing it's proper thing.

So I ask, is there someway beside going back to stock .5/.6 ROM to get my Rev A back.

Am willing to flash radio's but I got to tell ya, I've had the current radio for as long as the 2.1 flash and before when we only got small updates from Service and Repair when checked against those that are posted out there to Download.

I doubt rolling back to an older radio would do it, but that's my last option untried so far. I get great dBm (mostly between 50-60 indoors with the repeater) so am unsure how I got stuck in Rev 0.

Thanks for reading, and feel free to throw any hair brained schemes out there, no fear hear considering what I do for my store, if the phone bricks, it bricks, I can easily get it exchanged or even reflashed back to normalcy.

Thanks in advance

I'm working on a project, and I need an Android phone that's compatible with AT&T 3G, and running Froyo. The obvious choice is the Nexus One for AT&T, but the project's not really worth spending $500+ on. Are there any other phones out there that are compatible with AT&T 3G, unlockable and capable of running Froyo?
[General Questions and Answers] envoykrawkwarrior7:

[HD2 General] WhiteSites:
I have searched the forums and have not found any conclusive answer to this question. I could really care less about looking pretty or the sense UI. All I want is my phone is be extremely fast and responsive. Seems like simple things like deleteing a text message is slow. What does everyone recommend? I am not looking for a guide on how to install a ROM, I will figure that out on my own, Just need the name of a ROM that is fast and bare bones.

[HD2 General] joe_coolish:
ROMs are like cars. You have your ferraris (NRGZ), your lambos (elegancia), and your Aston Martins (kumar). It's all a matter of preference really. Some people say that ferrari makes the best/fastest/hottest cars, while others say XXXX does. Just take a weekend, grab 2 or 3 ROMs, give each ROM a couple of hours and see which you like :)

Any way you slice it, almost every ROM will be faster than stock. If you're not happy, send it back for a full refund of the purchase price! (Minus shipping and handling)

[myTouch 3G Slide General] k0droid:
I have a MyTouch 3G that got some water on it.

I let it dry out and I've been trying for two days to get it to work.

It will turn on but only goes to the startup image and stops there.

I tried going to the bootloader then using recovery there but it does the same thing--stops after showing the "MyTouch 3G Slide" logo.

It still connects to the PC, I see Android Phone: Android ADB Interface in Device Manager.

I tried using the command terminal and commands like adb shell but it keeps telling me "error: device offline."

Any ideas?

I can't do that. If I have to get another phone I will but I can't return this one.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] migueltherocker:
Why? If you have the extended warranty they'll exchange it for you.

[myTouch 3G Slide General] slinky1914:
Have you tried rooting it. After you hit the recovery with the red triangle, hold vol up and press the sleep/wake button it will take you into android recovery. I am assuming you haven't did this yet. I would root flash the eng build and see if it boots then.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] jasonftfw:
I just had the same thing.

You need to do a long battery pull before launching recovery.

I left my battery out while at work, roughly 6 hrs (it may be shorter than that)

then you can boot into recovery. This should hopefully get you to the red triangle. If so, pull the battery (short pull) then launch the bootloader again and then go to fastboot and then reboot. that all worked for me.

My advice..

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731542

follow this to take your phone completely apart..

now get a tooth brush.. perfered moving.. sonicare or cheapo crest and some Rubbing Alcohol take phone apart find the circuts with corodoing..

take your tooth brush dip it in alcohol shake off excess and get the corosion off.. make sure you get all of it.. including battery if there is a white or silver/yellow corrosion..

re-assemble and launch

a corroded circut can stop data flow from internal flash hd
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Otherkid:
This may be a little late to say but I've always heard that if you do not use PURE alcohol not 70 or 80 percent but the green **** at cvs that's 100 percent alcohol. If you do not use that then it will bring more water or liquid chemicals other than alcohol onto the board.

Then again another solution I have personally used and worked was to take a big bowl of dry rice and take the cover and battery off the phone place it inside underneath the rice in a bowl and let it sit for a day rotating and moving the rice around every once in a while. Rice will pull the moisture out of the air anywhere and soak it up.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] k0droid:
That might have been the issue, some circuit being corroded or something.

I just couldn't get anything to work so I sent it in for a repair.

HTC reps claimed they couldn't fix the phone until now, I had called like 3 weeks ago for a repair and every week since and they couldn't help me until yesterday.

I did try the battery pull btw. I tried it for a few hours and I literally tried it several times leaving the phone without a battery for a days at a time but nothing worked.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Virus1x:
Three things

#1. 70-90 percent alchohol drys the same as 100 you don't need 100 infact you risk damaging the board

#2. The rice idea works for recently dropped phones e.g. I drop it in the pool run inside throw it in rice however I have taken apart many phones from people have used this method and you will find rice dust everywhere!!!! My suggestion don't bother

#3. We have all the resources here on our lovely forum if you'd like me to make a guide I can merge the disassembly and my how to repair guide together to make a perfect guide for it but no reason to pay 100 to fix your phone until you've tried yourself unless you have a warranty then use, it

i take my HTC Polaris abroad and use the sim card purchasing from the local operator, the problem is the SMS i sent to another local cell phone is unreadable in case of simple Chinese character in it, the the same SMS,only digit and engilish can be recognized.

In this cell phone, 'using unicode when necessary' had been selected,and i already check the regist table as following : _current_user->microsoft->inbox->SMSUnicode=1;

I'd changed wm6.1 and wm6.5(simple Chinese version) and tried send SMS to myselft,it still has the same problem.

it seems that unicode does not work when i send SMS with Chinese character,who can help me to solve it,many thanks.

Hello EVOites! I have a question to any hardwired rooter, or just simple user that is one step ahead of me. I used Astro to examine why I cant SEE the "quietly brilliant" along side of HTC. wHEN i WENT INTO THE SYS dir, I found wherein sprint inserted thier splash which said NO HTC.I cant delete the file or zip file, nor the Sprint now 4 g splash. I wont root my evo, and tried but the OTA prevents that. I am simply asking is there any APK that would overide, the ugly sprint splash that starts when I boot? Is there a way not to root the phone and to change the boot screens? I know rooted can, and tried all methods to delete, but no access permission because its signed by the OTA.

Help a NOOB be less blue please, anyone? Please PM, or email me. I AM SICK OF SPRINTS 4 G SCREEN ON BOOT

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] SD14:
Why is it that Tmobile HD2 phones can use the 10 dollar internet in both winmo (custom rom) and android but us mytouch 3g users cannot even with a custom android rom? They were both branded by Tmobile and they know both of there imei numbers so why cant we use the 10 dollar interent after we flash a custom rom? They are also both HTC phones aswell. I have tried just about everything short of changing my imei and i know that every time you try and use cell data it sends your imei and stuff to make sure that you have the correct plan. So why is that an HD2 can use the 10 dollar internet but we cant?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jdwrrzmm:
I am also curious about this.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] eugenile:
the simple answer is, because no one cares about WinMo phones.

look at their market now in the US.

tmo could care less really. EVEN ON ATT, all the smartphones with winmo can use their cheaper $15 data unlimited.

oh and for the record the ONLY TMOBILE BRANDED ANDROID phone that works with web2go and/or cheaper data plans from tmobile is the SAMSUNG BEHOLD 2.

no other will work, and you cant consider the nexus one a branded tmo pone.

and yes the imei is why they block it no matter if you flash the rom.

Sorry for hijack ;) but My lock screen is too sensitive and my phone is always unlocking in my pocket and then making calls, sending texts and changing things around, its starting to pi** me off a bit.

I need a proper lockscreen that needs a password or something to enable phone.

I bought app protector from the market but that just messes with the whole phone big time, disabled.

So in my search I was looking to disable it manually. Interestingly enough when I removed the phone.apk it removed the lock as well. I couldn't use the phone but at least no lockscreen :p. Anyways i think modifying the phone.apk is what needs to happen unfortunately i don't have the knowledge to do this yet...

Lock 2.0 from market Works for x10 and is great, a bit Luke s2u2. Full version Allied you to change settings to your likings.

i use adw launcher, dont change your settings in adw after installing lock2 otherwise the default lockscreen Comes back for some reason and you end up with a Double lockscreen. Further it is the best lock screen on the market for our phone. Hope this will help.

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] wingz85:
No real solution im afraid, you can try changing your task killer to only kill apps every couple of hours and ignore the GOTO application, or uninstall it completely, this helps.

I now use Lockbot pro which i think looks better than GOTO + its got 100's of themes, but i sometimes see the SE lock screen, hardly ever, but still seen it, whereas with GOTO i never saw it.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] wingz85:
Unfortunatly GOTO is a paid app so its against forum rules to post the .apk.

Google is your friend, or pay for it.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] trojjanhorse:
The only way to change the default lock screen is by tampering with the /system files. Don't think anyone has been successful in revamping it. The only progress I've seen was the arrow being changed to a different image.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] qwer23:
I think you have set Advanced Task Killer to "kill when screen off". This setting turns on the screen when you use goto, it's some kind of bug. Just use a setting like "kill every 30 min" or something like that and goto will work fine.

btw. you should read the topics about how pointless Task Killers are on Android. They're often even making things like battery life and smoothness of the device worse. Here's one of the many topics about it on the forum ;)

Make sure USB debugging is off, and your SD card is mounted so the phone can read it.
