[Fascinate General] GoogleAndroid:
Now that I really look at it, whites are very blue tinted, while other colors are yellow tinted or over-saturated(which is on every one of these. The D1, D2, DX, and iPhone 4 are the only phones I've ever seen calibrated correctly out of the box.) Is this a defect? I am just happy these whites aren't like my friend Incredible's. His whites get black streaks down one line of pixels(it's hard to explain, but looks awful.) To return or not to return? If I return they better apply a new Invisible Shield for free.
[Fascinate General] ivorycruncher:
Wow, you guys are really picky. I'm not about to say that my Fascinate's screen is perfect, but then again, no screen is. They ALL have flaws, one way or another. I for one have noticed that whites have a bluish tint, which strangely changes to a yellowish tint when I press on the screen. Does this make me want to complain and return the phone? Of course not. It really is not worth the hassle of going through that. Honestly though, I've never seen a screen that looks more awesome than this super AMOLED screen, despite the minor flaws. Guess there's just no pleasing some people. ;-)
[Fascinate General] Dhampyr:
The screen on my new one seems pretty perfect to me. No tints, and certainly doesn't change color when i touch it. Guess some people prefer to accept defects and substandard quality control.

Squeaky wheel gets the oil.
[Fascinate General] mirrinigma:
Went into the Verizon store today - the associate who I spoke with immediately recognized the problem, but I did pull out my brother's fascinate without color issues so we wouldn't have to go and check a floor model.

At first she said "Here, it's probably fixed" when she turned the backlight up, but when I showed her the difference between the two phones with the backlight dimmed to lowest. I mentioned the battery drain with it higher would not really be acceptable to me, she was more than glad to accept it as an exchange for a new Fascinate.

I also had my contract switched over to 1 year because I forgot to do that when I was in there and getting my old fascinate... sort of happens when you're sitting around for two hours. Picked up the extended battery too - not nearly as bad as people say unless you're shirt-pocketing it.

Took all of 45 minutes, I guess I was lucky - the longest part was the line.
[Fascinate General] SamsungVibrant:
Tints vary from handset to handset.

Hey just wanted to chime in.

I've compared Epic, Fascinate, Vibrant, and Captivate side by side. Here is what I found, almost no two screens have the same hue/tint/.

These are the following tints I've noticed.

Pink

Yellow (the best in my opinion)

Brown

blue/green

blue

blue/gray

When testing the phones, I set them side by side, and set the same brightness levels to test.

Why these tints vary so much, from individual to individual handset is a good question. I saw two Epic's in a sprint store side by side, one was blue tinted one was brown. Same exact settings. So strange.
[Fascinate General] Daugvolf:
Yeah, it looks like calibration on Super-AMOLED screens is a little wonky. Almost makes me miss my vanilla AMOLED Incredible. Here's hoping either Voodoo or the Froyo update does something to equalize the randomness. My money is on Voodoo.

Interestingly I've got a brownish / yellow tint on low brightness when looking strait on at the display. However if I angle the phone maybe 5 degrees I get a bluish / grey tint. It actually kind of reminds me of what a generic LCD screen does with the backlight on low, so I guess I'm used to it and can live with it for now.
[Fascinate General] GoogleAndroid:
I find that the AMOLEDs, like on an Inc, are even worse... and it goes back to Samsung's poor calibrating skills.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shival:
By custom ROM I mean like Cognition or CyanogenMod.

Are there any advantages to these over the stock ROM on my Rooted Device?

Such as more features or whatever else?

Am I just better off waiting for FroYo to be released?

I kinda miss flashing ROMs from the good ol'days of WinMo =]
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ManiacalShen:
Sometimes, it's the little things that make a world of difference. Cognition, for example, makes my battery indicator give me a number, the percentage of power left. Much better than having to make a fuzzy guess based on a tiny blue/yellow/red battery graphic. It also comes packaged with a nice lagfix as well as app sideloading - things I can and did do for myself, but are nice to not have to redo with a new ROM.

And in general, my phone is just smoother with the new kernel and everything else. So I don't regret flashing a custom ROM at all; it was worth it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shival:
Do I need a Lag-fix?

This is my first android device so I have no idea what slow is haha.

I think I already enabled sideloading, I did something with a command prompt window and my computer, thats kinda sad that I don't remember what lol.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ManiacalShen:
If you edited a database file in something like SQLite Manager, you enabled sideloading.

And I totally recommend a lagfix. There are several wonderfully technical reasons as to why one's good to have, but practically speaking, I like it because the phone is noticeably more responsive. Although, watch which one you get... I had one that utilized a program called SL4A, and removing that lagfix broke my phone for the day. -_- I had to do an Odin3 flash to make it usable again.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shival:
I have noticed that lag when I try to resume the phone from stand-by. The lag-fix doesn't have any negative side affects to the phone like over-clocking does?
[Nexus One General] Hollow.Droid:
So I was pretty careless and dropped my N1 in work, landing perfectly on it's screen :( It still functions perfectly and the AMOLED screen hasn't been damaged, simply the digitizer. I've already ordered a new one with all the tools necessary to replace it, but I'm yet to find any definitive guide on replacing the N1 digitizer.

I came across thread #751923 (Can't post links as I'm new) which seems really helpful but a guide with pictures/video would be awesome. There's a 45 step youtube vid on how to replace it as well but the quality/clarity isn't great. I'm sure I can use both of these to replace it just fine, It just seems a little daunting.

Basically I'm looking for consolation along the lines of 'It's damn easy to fix' :p Any love for a fellow N1-er?
[Nexus One General] _Dennis_:
It is easy to fix. Two tips: don't use metal spatulas to pry the plastic under the battery off and gently wiggle and push the motherboard out only after disconnecting all the little connectors on it.
[Nexus One General] CaliLove310:
Im also waiting on my digitizer. I'm going to folllow these 2 guides.

http://cnn.cn/shop/google-nexus-digitizer-p-8252.html
[Nexus One General] Dameon45:
Have done it and you actually found better tear-downs and tutorials. Use youtube as well. The videos help because they show the techniques as well. Hardest part i would have to say is sliding the motherboard out the bottom under the metal separator. I think it was great and taught me a lot about my phone. The thing you have to watch out for is dust and fingerprints under the screen. Once it's on...it's on, anything underneath is stuck lol. make sure it's all clean and you won't have any annoyances like dust particles like i have.
[Nexus One General] altma001:
I did it, mostly successful. I damaged the cable to the trackball, so be careful at that step, otherwise nothing difficult, just takes an hour or so.
[Nexus One General] Hollow.Droid:
Cheers for the info and advice guys, should hopefully get my replacement digitizer tomorrow so I'll keep this thread updated with the outcome :)
[Nexus One General] Gonz7711:
I have replaced my digitizer. It cost me $45.00. It was challenging but not impossible. The hardest thing is not tearing any of the ribbons when dissasembling. It was a successful replacement. The only gripe I had was the digitizer I bought did not come with the adhesive to glue the digitizer to the frame. Make sure you have a way to attach the screen to the frame before you begin the process. Other than that it should be easy as long as you take your time.
[Nexus One General] brettcp:
I replaced mine.. it took a solid hour or so, just be very careful not to tear any of the ribbon cables.. everything is super small and delicate.

I now get lots of dust in the corners of my screen because i didn't seal the new digitizer properly, but its not a huge deal to me.
[Nexus One General] nexusonemeover:
replacing the digitizer is easy... its taking apart, and putting the rest back together that sucks. just make sure you know what length screw goes in what hole... very important. take notes as you disassemble.
[Nexus One General] massari90:
haha reminds me of when I took my laptop apart to re apply thermalpaste. I ended up with 7 extra screws >.< But the thing was together and has been running fine for the last 6 months so O.O
[Nexus One General] wakeborder556:
I did it, not too bad if you go slow and deliberately. I also have dust under my screen now. I sort of wish I would have just sent it to HTC but the money saved is worth a little dust.
[Nexus One General] rob61280:
A useful tip for disassembling is to cut out a paper template the same shape as your N1 and push the screws through it in positions corresponding to the screw holes in your N1. Its much easier to figure out where they all go when you come to reassembling it, just dont knock your template and screws on the floor :-).
[Nexus One General] kilalot:
That's a great idea, rob. I always think whenever I take apart a phone that I should have a video camera handy to record what I'm doing so I can play it in reverse when I'm putting it back together :p
[Nexus One General] omgdwong:
For $115 you can send your phone back to HTC and have a QUALIFIED technician replace your screen.

Yes, it's a little more but you don't have to worry about messing anything else up and you're getting back your phone without any installation flaws.
[Nexus One General] Hollow.Droid:
Well I eventually got my digitizer this morning. It took until I had everything taken apart to realise they had sent me a compatible but ill fitting digitizer. It doesn't even have the appropriate buttons (it did in the selling image) at the bottom. At this point everything works fine but it doesn't look perfect. I guess it'll have to do, thanks for the advice guys :-)
[Nexus One General] teihoata:
Wow thats cheap, I just got quoted for around $300US to fix my phones screen.. not including labor.. argh

Does anyone know if HTC in america repair phones from the other side of the world even though they were purchased from google's store?
[Nexus One General] darock159:
I just sent my phone into HTC to be repaired for a cracked screen expecting it to be $115 and was pleasantly surprised to find that it would only be $55 including shipping! HTC was also extremely quick to get back with me for the quote. I sent the phone out Tuesday at 4pm and they have looked at it and quoted me the repair cost by Wednesday at 2 pm. :p
[Nexus One General] fam0us:
I recently cracked my digitalizer as well.

I called HTC 2 times without giving any information about myself before calling a 3rd time to do the actual swap.

I was quoted at $115 for me to send in my N1, wait a week without a phone, and have them replace the digitalizer, before shipping it back.

I then further inquired and found out they have a Swap program where they mail you a new(refurbished, but perfect) phone, and a FedEx label, which they still quoted me $115 to fix the screen, and a possible $275 if they needed to replace the logicboard, but they would get a quote back to me with all the things they would need to replace. It would require a $529 charge to my card, incase i didnt send the phone back at all.

I mentioned that my camera was broken, as well as my trackball was loose, and he said the quote would include this as well.

I called back a 3rd time, requested a swap phone, and had one 2 days later.

i mailed my phone into HTC, and two days later i had my quote.

I paid $55 after it was said and done, and have a new (refurbished) phone

I was rooted,unlocked, and running Kang-O-Rama 1.0 when i shipped the phone in. I didnt bother to fix that.

[HTC Aria General] klyon:
For the first time I'm experiencing some lag with the Aria. It isn't horrible, but it wasn't there before and I'm curious.

Of course, I don't know if it's due to R012 (and rooting) or some change in Google Voice, or something else.

I have 104megs of available phone memory and over 3 gigs of sdcard.

Anyone else seeing this? Any ideas?
[HTC Aria General] pcruz:
Google voice has always been a little slow for me on the aria, when i press the icon it takes a few seconds to load but after that I have no more issues.
[HTC Aria General] shirleeey:
I have definitely been having this problem with the recent versions of GV. I think it all began when they tossed in the widgets, although I'm not using them. As of right now it can take my Liberated Aria up to 30 secs to pull up a text message. Absolutely insane.

Does anyone happen to have an older .apk of GV that didn't include the widgets?
[HTC Aria General] zeyoner:
I too have been experiencing the same issue. The lag is awful! Only started with the latest update.

Yea, I've noticed the keyboard is very laggy sometimes. Using swype got rid of that for me.

Don't know exactly what I did. But it's not lagging anymore. Jackjackpa you mentioned switching keyboards. I did install a modded version of the HTC keyboard I wonder if that did the trick for me as well.

Hey Guys, That's my issue...

Randomly, the "My Documents" Folder disappears from my storage card.

It is still visible on my PC when I active Sync, but the file on the PC appears almost transparent. It doesn't appear at all on my phone.

Anyone know what's going on?

This happened last night, I thought maybe a program I installed caused this, so I did a hard reset after backing up everything, reinstalled 4GB of music, and most of my programs. Then it magically happened again.

I have a Scandisk 8GB card.

Thanks ahead of time for any help.

Edited because I was steaming drunk and it didn't make sense.

So I went out and had a few to many drinks last night. Walking back I stumbled into a wall while texting which resulted in me dropping my phone on the floor and chipping and scratching the phone casing down to what appears to be silver.

Fortunately the phone is ok, but as I'm a bit of a perfectionist I won't be able to rest until It's fixed.

Any help would be appreciated.
