Agree with the PenTile display! For some reason so few people realize just how ****ty it is. I remember commenting on Engadget saying how ****ty it looks compared to my Touch Pro 2 and people just called me a troll even though I owned both devices.

My honest first opinion of my Nexus One after turning it on is "Wow, this screen sucks!" But I kept it despite its ****ty screen and lack of keyboard because I love my 1GHz processor.
[Nexus One General] player911:
Yea I'm curious how this will affect existing users. Sounds like they are trying to use cheaper screens to deepen their pockets, but I'm all for it if the quality is better or on par of our existing screens.... especially if it fixes the multitouch bugs.
[Nexus One General] at10ti0n:
if someone got a replacement Nexus One with Super LCD, then could you please test multi touch with MultiTouch Vis Test? thanks :)
[Nexus One General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
Yeah, sadly there are many people which don't see this problem and therefore it seems like this cheap approach is paying off for the manufacturers. Even the Touch Diamond 2 had a far better WVGA Display (LCD).

I also had an motorola milestone (droid) testdevice and the screen on the milestone just kills the n1 screen. I can literally read the text on fully zoomed out webpages on the milestone, while on the n1 i can't see the text clearly at all.

The problem is: People who never witnessed a better WVGA screen will be happy as the AMOLED Pentile screens are at least better then old HVGA screens. But anybody who got to experience WVGA on an LCD without Pentile Matrix garbage will know that the difference ist huge.
[Nexus One General] msavic6:
So would HTC potentially replace existing n1's displays with the SLCD if they are under warranty.
[Nexus One General] diversificationied:
Lcd and digitizer are separate pieces of hardware, you won't be seeing it upgraded.
[Nexus One General] techlogik:
What is wrong with your guys that everything turns into a flame fest over something like a display???

Can't you read? The "marketing/promotional" release stated it is better. Therefore, it must be true ;)
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
i would like to know how SLCD is more efficient battery power. did they mean more efficient over traditional LCD, or more efficient over AMOLED? i'm assuming over LCD.

i know the pentile problems and all, but i honestly still dont mind it. i've seen the EVO and droid and how crisp they look, but it just isnt a huge difference for me. i like the over saturate colors of amoled!
[Nexus One General] dogiedogie:
Its not I assure you, if you look at the comparion [I assume of engaged] its barely any more usable [ie not usable].
[Nexus One General] fl13dl1c3:
I bought my N1 in June, and I've heard rumors about HTC using SLCD instead of AMOLED in the last few batches of N1s. Is there a way to find out if I have the SLCD or AMOLED on my phone? Thanks!
[Nexus One General] stuff:
Turn your phone backlight 100%. You should see bleeding through the sides on a LCD, and no bleeding on an LED. Also, I think the black on an LCD actually emits light, wheras on an LED the black is actually no light.
[Nexus One General] DarkDvr:
Couldn't resist =)

Pentile display isn't bad at all, and at an average consumer level (regular people I show my screen to), love the colors on my N1. Stop crying :p

The only thing I'd cry about are the sensors. I can reproduce the touch-sensor on the screen going haywire 100% of the time, by letting the phone sit on the dashboard on the sun for a while. After that all my touches are registered inches away from the true location.

But the image quality-wise, imo, it's very good. Not that there can't be an improvement, of course.
[Nexus One General] johng75:
umm???

http://htcpedia.com/news/HTC-Ships-Final-Order-of-Nexus-One.html

back on the 18th it was reported that the last shipment of N1's was already done and sent.... how are they now using a new screen?

did i miss something? is HTC going to continue making the N1? and just not come directly from google? i thought that was the desire?:confused:
[Nexus One General] paulshields:
That link seems to be referring to the shipment of N1's directly to Google. As the N1 is still available via a number of other providers, maybe HTC are still shipping phones to them? I get the impression that a number of blogs have linked Google's decision not to directly sell the N1 with mobile providers who are right now selling the N1 on their networks.

There's still life in the not so old dog yet :D.
[Nexus One General] :
The nexus isn't being sold directly through the google website as retail.

The nexus, however, is still for sale in other parts of the world, through third party retailers in the US, and also as the current developer phone for Android through google's developer site.
[Nexus One General] johng75:
OOOHHH!!!

"I see", said the blind man to his deaf wife, who immediately turned to him and said, "HUH?"

:D
[Nexus One General] blablum:
I'm glad mine has amoled. Amoled uses no energy when a pixel is black. LCD does. I doubt LCD will really use less battery on average. HTC is just saying that to imply they did not cheapen the phone, but in reality they are doing this because of lack of amoled, not because LCD is better.

N1 is still under production, all that happened is that google store closed. N1 is still for sale in several countries and will be back in the US in a few weeks through 3rd party sellers and also to developers.
[Nexus One General] xiuhan83:
anyone knows how it compares to the super amoled in samsung galaxy s?
[Nexus One General] wrench115:
Well damn. I got my n1 around the first week july. Just noticed a couple dead led's. Should I send it in or hold off?
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
I'm guessing most everyone, if they're anything like me, knew about this already. We all frequent Android and tech blogs.
[Nexus One General] Mokurex:
I didn't post it because I think nobody knows about it. It's to discuss and hear opinions on the issue. Cheers.
[Nexus One General] cbaltzer:
I sent my N1 in for a screen replacement a week ago (the glass was messed up). I'm wondering if I'll get an SLCD display back. Is there a way to tell, with nothing to compare it to?
[Nexus One General] Hojou:
How to compare LED and LCD has already been mentioned in this thread (the backlight bleeding through) - also and perhaps even more interresting is if the new SLCD also uses the (imho) crappy pentiles or not :)
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
haha no the only reason the amoled used pentile is because it was a current limitation of the manufacturing process for amoled screens at 3.7 inches. the smaller 3.2 inch amoled screen (in the hero i think?) was full 3 sub pixels, no pentile.

super lcd should not have this limitation because lcd has been progressing for years now.

eventually amoled will be able to get rid of "the pentiles" and will be the best of both worlds!

but it has more of the G B's.
[Nexus One General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
The HTC Hero doesn't have an AMOLED screen. It's a LCD screen.

But i hope you are correct and we will see this stupid pentile matrx dissappear from AMOLED screens too soon.
[Nexus One General] xManMythLegend:
Black levels > Pentiles.

Its hard to look at the grayed out washed out LCD screens most phones have after an OLED.

My problem with the Nexus screen is the atrocious picture related software. Theres simply noway to have your picture look as good as it should with the default Google apps.
[Nexus One General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
This depends on your device usage. Most of the time i'm not looking at pictures or games, therefore having crystal clear text (without pentiles) is MUCH more worth to me than having deeper blacks. I don't really care if some background is real black or greyish.

Also it's much more worth to get a good outdoor performance, than having better contrast in dark surroundings IMHO.

I want to have nice deep black colors when i watch movies on my plasma tv, but when working on my n1 i need good text rendering.

Now this may be different for you, but you can't just generally assume that everybody cares about black levels on their device. I really think that the average user has more benefits with good text rendering (without pentiles) than having good black levels.
[Nexus One General] seeksol:
HD2

does anyone know if the HD2 screen replacements will also be SLCD???

my screen is cracked and i've put off getting it replaced, because it still works!

But i'm curious as to whether the replacement screens will also be upgraded to SLCD?

Darren
[Nexus One General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
why would they us slcds? The HD 2 doesn't use AMOLED screens, so they will just use the same regular LCD screen as before for your replacement. Since there is no LCD shortage there is no need for HTC to upgrade your screen to a SLCD one.
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
maybe it was the legend then? whatever HTC phone that had a 3.2 inch amoled screen, that's the one without the pentiles.
[Nexus One General] cbaltzer:
I noticed before I sent my phone away there was a diamond pattern visible on the screen, only under bright sunlight. Some sort of circuitry, I guess. I don't know much about display technology. However, I'm assuming this is characteristic of an AMOLED display, since my iPhone does not have that pattern (and uses an LCD). Can anyone confirm that?

If true, then my replacement also has AMOLED. I can't decide/tell if that's better or not though.
[Nexus One General] lostinbeta:
That's generally a characteristic of the digitizer used on the device. I personally don't see the digitizer on my nexus, even in bright light. But a lot of people seem to be able to... its rather normal for touch screen phones.
[Nexus One General] xoltrix2000:
I don't know about you guys but after reading the article I couldn't help but realize that they're going to still be making nexus ones and a whole lot dispite it's web store closure.

I was under the impression that there would be no N1 sales at all. WTG Google, I'm so happy to know that our phones are still the main standard and optimized Android device.
[Nexus One General] flarbear:
Google closed their web store down which was the only way to get it in the US. But they are still available in other countries through the partners that Google worked with to distribute them there.

There will also be an announcement soon of a distributor that will sell them to developers.
[Nexus One General] Nelsaidi:
http://dailymobile.se/2010/07/27/sony-super-lcd-vs-super-amoled-video-comparison/

I'm happy with my AMOLED Desire, is it really worth spending an extra £100/$150 or so to get the exact same phone with a very similar screen?
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
i too am very happy with the amoled screen cause i think it gives better battery life, with the pentiles and all. that's why i'm very curious to see results on this new SLCD battery saving screen. how did they do that when we know it has more pixels, and its an LCD screen? waiting to see some real world results...
[Nexus One General] senortighto:
i just cracked the screen on my phone the other day, and initiated a swap with htc, and to also get some other stuff fixed too along the way. but i wonder if my swap will have the original amoled or have the new lcd?
[Legend General] magedhk:

[General Questions and Answers] S_Badger:
Hi does anyone have a way that I can download and store the sms messages from my HTC touch Pro?..

Normally easy enough but it has a broken touchscreen (as of this weekend) and I dont seem to be able to run a backup program just by using keyboard shortcuts. Active synch is still working fine so I can access the system files from my PC but don't know which files I'd need to backup in order to restore at a later date.

All suggestions gratefully recieved
[General Questions and Answers] liber:
You can run a program using the expansion card startup folder. Create a folder named 2577 and copy inside a link to the file manager (you can do this on another device). Pop in and out the card to have the file manager launched... then run a backup program that you can control with keyboard.

Or install a program that let you control your mobile from PC.

The Unicorn is included

:D
[HD2 General] SiL3nTKiLL:

[HD2 General] ahgao:
I don't think the Unicorn is free... I emailed HTC and Merlin replied me saying that the Unicorn only comes free IF you buy the HTC3 and a data plan which gives you 12GB of free spells..... So for those who think the Unicorn is free, sorry... Go find out where you can get the data plan + 12GB of spells first....
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
How dare you sir!!

I was given that information by the swiss leprachaun who is head of htc's marketing dept. You have tarnished my reputation with your accusations of muck spreading and I demand an apology!

If you want the deluxe unicorn with the charging cradle and stereo speakers then you will have to pay a premium however the standard one comes for free.....

I hope this clears up any confusion......
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
sigh......

that is the premium unicorn accsory pack.....

please people get your facts straight before posting.......
[HD2 General] spamtrash:
Don't make false statements, please. Unicorn is STANDARD pack.

Premium one includes one unicorn and two virgins :D
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
only tmous users get two virgins, regular users get one virgin and a fat old maid.
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
maid sounds good, someones gotta clean up all that unicorn crap.......
[HD2 General] ahgao:
I'll give you guys a hint.. Most Telcos don't have the 12GB of free spells... But Merlin mobile has.. =) So you know where you can get your HD3 now!! And I heard it was JUST launched... It suddenly just APPEARED in a wiff of smoke!! And so did all the Merlin Mobile shops!!! Better get your HD3 before their all sold out, and quickly grab your Merlin Glasses!!! Here is Merlin's last email,

"Dear valued wizard,

The HTC HD3 has just been launched. I have used up almost all of my powers to

make Merlin Mobile and the HTC HD3 appear. Please inform all your fellow wizards

to get them fast and to make this happen! I have also made the "Merlin Glasses" (so

that Merlin Mobile becomes visable) appear at the local Walmart retailing for only

$19.90. They are made of eco-friendly material, and the lenses are high impact,

polarized lenses. Apart from helping you see the Merlin Mobile shops, they can

also be used as everyday lenses for driving, commuting, and even fishing. So,

do help support Merlin Mobile, and let the magic begin!

Yours magically,

Merlin The Wizard

From the Spell Room of HTC Wizardry,

HTC Simply Magic

Go get it!

oh 4 sure u wont believe:o:o u dont need to charge it, it takes juice from solar energy. . . .

Really worth the money :D:D:D:D
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Pleas hepl boot loop

i flaashd HSPell and now my unicorn just boots me over and over. what can i do???? help me NOW I'm goin multicoloured and screaming
[HD2 General] ahgao:
Gosh... So fast... Merlin replied and said that all has been sold out... =( That's bad news...

anyway, malias4, please don't plug the HD3 to charge it... You are DIS-charging it... You wouldn't want a flat battery on such a rare and magical device... You're supposed to keep the unicorn inside your wizard hat and wear it... The Unicorn does all the charging... And yes, magically... IT'S LIKE ALCHEMY!!! GOSH!!

Samsamuel, have you downloaded the Merlin Editor?? It's like a regeditor but only for the HD3... If you haven't, please do... Wear your Merlin Glasses and point your web browser to (you will know where to go after you wear it, sad to say, I didn't manage to get my HD3, but Merlin still emails me) and download the spell. file...

Use your Unicorn and say the magic words, and it will install...

Then go to HKLM\Local_Unicorn\SYS\Colour and add a new dword= nomorebonkers

Soft reset and you're good to go!! Hope that helps...

If you like the cab. file that I created on Merlin's website, please donate and buy me a beer...

ROFLMAO!!!!
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
sam you should have flashed HSPelloelloelloalikelybloodystory.

you could try traveling back in time and breaking 3 owls eggs on the back of your unicorn, remember to task666 and wipe down the horn with a 3gauge ionised penguins flipper.

TMOUS USERS DO NOT USE FREE RANGE OWL EGGS THIS WILL BRICK YOUR UNICORN

hope that helps
