Call back and talk to a different rep.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] XfooYen:
FYI. If you're rooted with an eng bootloader and can't get the dmesg command to work, you can get similar info from hboot. If I remember correctly, you boot into bootloader, select fastboot and there should be a system info (or like worded) menu. Select that. If your display type starts with SO, you got a good screen. If it starts with SA, you got a bad one.

Tell them the buttons are squeaking and it's driving you crazy. Say whatever you need because the better screen is DEFINITELY worth the effort. I broke my good phone and they sent me a refurb with a bad screen. I was like WTF! They sent me another refurb with a good screen and it's worlds better.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Is it possible to have a good display while still having your LCD panel identified as "type 1"? I've compared mine to several friend's MT4Gs and their displays all have the noticeable characteristics of the bad display mentioned in this thread. By comparison, mine looks awesome, and doesn't have the viewing angle problem or the washed out colors. Yet when I type "demsg" into terminal, it says I have the type 1 panel.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] cronuslsd:
Im with you. While I haven't compared mine to many I too do not see any issues with viewing angle, or it appearing overly washed out...my blacks are black or at least black enough to these 31 yr old eyes lol, and im reported as having the type one panel.

Im really happy with the phone with the exception of battery life but i guess i shouldn't complain seeing as though i run 1.4ghz consistently.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
You are sort of correct. Root doesn't really matter, but S-OFF does. If you are S-OFF in hboot there is a SYSTEM INFO option. The strings to look for are:

LCD-SH-C2 - bad

LCD-SO-C2 - good

SH is for Sharp screen and SO is for Sony screen, or at least that's what we commonly believe. I don't know if there is any proof that SO means Sony and SH means Sharp, but that's what we believe so far.

As for good type 1 panels, I also started with an SH panel and thought my screen looked pretty darn good... until I compared it in person to a known type 2 panel. After going through the exchange process and finally getting a good screen that I can use daily, I can tell a big difference!

Find a known good screen to compare to in real life before you make your decision.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
My new phones on the way!!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] XfooYen:
I was recalling from memory as I only saw this once. I knew I was "sort of" correct. Thanks for clarifying.

I compared two phones using both methods and the results concur. SO seems to be the type 2 screen, and SH comes up as type 1 in terminal.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
So you've seen them side by side? Big difference, right?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] skyungjae:
Damn it... well... now I know. When's the next HTC Android phone coming out for tmo?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] phaino00:
My wife has the SH screen and the difference is drastic, IMHO?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Oh yeah for sure. Using the navi at night where I'm looking at it from the side is what really clinched it for me.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] XfooYen:
Yes. My wife has one with a good screen and I compared it to the first refurb I was sent. Big difference. The good screen has a better viewing angle, stronger color saturation, and better contrast.

Swyped on my rooted MyTouch4G
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
Tmobile is ontop of their game right now.

I called in yesterday about the screen and with no hassle what so ever i got a replacement sent. They even shipped it out instantly and it arrived at my door step via free ups ground in less then 24 hours from placing the call.

I just booted it up and checked that it is china made and type 2 and the screen is amazing. Night and day differnce. Also the FCC is now centered which my last one wasnt.

Im one happy camper right now, just gotta go ahead and root it.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] bitbybit:
The reason dmesg was used without grep in the other thread is due to the fact that grep requires root on the stock rom, which we were trying to avoid in order to make checking display types as accessible as possible (no root, s-off, eng bootloader, etc).

Grep certainly makes it much easier but "rooting" your phone is intimidating to many people and might technically void the warranty on the phone.

Just fyi'n in case it want clear :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Ahhhh, that makes a lot more sense. Will update OP. Thanks!

display for mt4g

from other models HTC the display works on mt4g? if so, from which models htc? thanks :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
You mean does this method work on other htc models? Probably all phones but I'm not sure which panel type you'd be looking for.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] whoamanwtf:
Sweet numba 2!!! I kinda figured this already though as one of the very first things I said about this phone is damn the screen looks good.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] NexusOneOwner:
I am rooted, I did a hot reboot just before starting and I cannot find the "<7>0000000 tag panel parsing panel type =" anywhere. I have skimmed the whole thing twice, looking at all the <7>'s and cannot locate it.

Also, I looked, but where would I find the "|" in the quoted text in the OP? I have looked in the alternate/symbols pages 1 & 2, but cannot locate it.

----------------------------

Updated:

I hard rebooted the phone, tried again, this time I found a line containing: "<7>tag_panel_parsing: panel type = 2", I'm thinking this is what I might be looking for, but it didn't have the 0000000 next to the <7> so I'm not 100% positive.

Thank you

[myTouch 4G Android Development] mjr18793:
Hey, i just realized my phone was type 1 yesterday so i decided to call T-Mobile immediately and see what they could do. Well after being transfered to HTC and then to T-Mobile and after telling them numerous times my phone was defective they still wouldnt offer me an exchange, until i told them my power button wasnt functioning properly and my face buttons were becoming loose. When i came home today my exchange was already at my house, all the way from Texas to Florida, this must be why T-Mobile is number one in customer care lol.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jmerlos:
Worked for me. I told them my buttons were sticking and they sent me a replacement. The screen makes a huge difference.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mjr18793:
Hey I'm glad I could help in anyway lol. I guess the key is to say the buttons on the phone are loose instead of a faulty screen.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] UncleEk:
Mine is SH, type 1. Too bad :( I'm living in Thailand and the exchange solution won't do for me.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] rojovilla:
Wasn't too worried about my unit being inferior one, but it finally starting eating away at me. Called T-Mo, complained about defective hardware issues (because it's the truth!), and they issued an exchange under warranty.

New unit showed up a hour ago and hell, I don't even have to check the panel type. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! No wash, colors are crisper, and the blacks are deeper...WOW!

FFC is straight and the screen looks awesome! Time to root this baby!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Ohsaka:
Called TMobile on Sunday night to upgrade my G1 to a MT4G. Phone was just delivered an hour ago. Haven't rooted yet, but did the 'dmesg' trick and I have a type 2. Haven't seen a type 1 to compare against, but wow this screen is insane compared to the G1!!!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] MTSDAN:
Just got mine over the weekend, and checked the display..it came up as a 2!nice..thanks
[myTouch 4G Android Development] philliman:
Type 2. Good looking out!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] 2Noob4U:

On the phone now with Tmo customer service. Mine is rooted :( Unrooting I guess and sending in. That sucks.

Is there an offline Calendar for the DHD? I'm getting significant lag when loading calendars, its not always instant, and inserting events etc using the Pure Calendar app is also laggy and doesnt always find my Google Calendar.

I came from the SGS and it had both google calendars and local offline calendars (much quicker).

Anyone else experiencing issues with the calendar?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l.lai:
What about a stock android calendar?

Theres no actual app or way to access an offline calendar? Is this for real? Or am i missing something..?

Help please?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A-Dingo:
Try to delete the calendar memory database. Or a hard reset, after that my problems were gone!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l.lai:
Thanks how do I delete the memory database?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jorjino2000:
You can try this:

Settings-Applications-Manage applications - (on top you will see tab "Running"-open it)-find Calendar and tab on it- then tab onto Clear data.

After this make a synchronization with your Google account.

Hope this helps.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geokilla:
So almost two months of owning my Captivate that I got from Rogers (BNIB from Kijiji) and I noticed that at a certain area in my school, I have 3/5 bars of signal yet I can't seem to text/call and use the network. Is this a network problem or phone problem? Or can it also be my SIM? My SIM card is pretty old. However everything was fine when I use my Sony Ericsson W715 in the same area.

I should add that my friends on the same network beside me, they can text/call fine, which leads me to believe that this is a phone problem. A poster over at Howard Forums suggested network congestion, but it seems impossible because everyone else can use their phone fine.

I've tried different modems too, but it doesn't help. It's like my Captivate doesn't want to work at certain areas of my school.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geokilla:
A couple of people are getting the same problem as well where the phone reports good signal, but they can't use the network at certain locations. We're starting to think that this is a phone problem...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FireRaider:
I noticed this same issue in fringe areas. I have ATT and in southern Utah they are quite weak. I wonder if the bars/signal are actually from another provider like T-Mobile or some off brand like alltel or something. Utah has a bunch of small providers in rural areas.

Specifically in my case I go up in the mountains at Brianhead Ski resort and i get 2 or 3 bars yet I cannot send texts or call. Verizon has coverage there and I heard rumor T-mobile had a microcell or something on one of the lodges.

Could the signal be from another provider that ATT doesnt have an agreement with? Or in the OP's case some provider besides his own?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geokilla:
That's highly unlikely though, the idea of my phone roaming onto another network. It'd show if I'm not on the Rogers network.

Plus, a lot of people use Rogers, such as my friends who are able to make calls and send texts when they are next to me while I can't at school.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geokilla:
Just an update. Switched to a new SIM card, no go. Got a reconditioned Captivate, still got the same problem. As always, everyone else around me could send and receive text messages fine.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FireRaider:
I still think it that in some cases our phones pick up out of network signals and show great signal strenght.

Maybe not in your case since others are working fine around you, unless they are bone stock maybe, and you have obviously improved your phone. :)

I did a bunch of expeirmentation with my phone, flashing different modems and such, trying to get an ATT signal at Brianhead Ski resort in Utah.

I could get the phone to show great signal on the bars and in settings/about phone/status but the service state and network would say unknown or unavailable, somthing like that. (maybe check those when you cant get out?)

I have since given up and reflashed so many times I dont remember which modem worked to give me good signal of networks I couldnt use.

I do know it was frustating as hell to have full bars and be unable to call or send texts.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geokilla:
Thanks for your insight. The other people around me have other phones, such as Blackberry, Samsung Wave, etc. I even tested it with my old Sony Ericsson W715 and my friend's Samsung Wave at pretty much the same location (a feet or two away from me) when I can't use the network, and everything is fine so it most likely is a phone problem.

When it shows I have signal, it also shows the service state, like I'm on the Fido network and such.

Ehh...well at least they issued a statement about the rumors. I'm hoping this "Status Report" comes out soon.
[Fascinate General] Kevin Gossett:
Is it really necessary to post a new thread when there are three that have already been posted?

Edit: My intent was not to be an asshole or a douche, or to be "everything that is wrong with XDA." my apologies to the OP if I came off that way.
[Fascinate General] tripacer99:
I was not aware that there were any threads about samsung's response in this part of the forum; all I see are rumor threads. But if there are, I apologize.
[Fascinate General] tlogank:
Actually no-you're wrong, no one has posted this yet, it's a reply to the other posts. Stop trolling.
[Fascinate General] adrynalyne:
Actually, they did. In your thread that everyone was so quick to dismiss and make fun of ;)
[Fascinate General] Kevin Gossett:
See post 20

Edit: And I think it's funny you think I'm the problem here.
[Fascinate General] tlogank:
Yea, totally different thread. And since my other post was such a joke, I would assume no one is looking at it to see the rebuttal from Samsung, so this thread is perfectly valid.

@Kevin, you said there were 3 of these threads already, but you were obviously wrong, this is the first thread that is dedicated to Samsung's response, so yes-I do consider you the problem because you didn't even know what you were talking about. Samsung just released this update about an hour or so ago yet you act like it's all over the place, when in fact it wasn't at all.

I swear it's like you guys look for chances to be dicks to people on here.

I'd rather some dude post the same article 10 times in a row than to come in and try to belittle people.
[Fascinate General] Jrex:
This is the 1st time I have seen it, then again, I didn't read through every topic and every thread to see it...
[Fascinate General] Kevin Gossett:
There are multiple threads on the exact same topic. So it isn't necessary to constantly create new threads everytime a new piece of news comes out.

And did you even look at the link I posted? Samsung's response. An hour before this thread was created.
[Fascinate General] Kevin Gossett:
But I digress. I'm done here.
[Fascinate General] tlogank:
Yea, I saw your link to the post. Your words were that it had been posted in 3 different threads...which it hadn't actually in any at all. It was posted in an entirely separate thread that may have been about the same subject, but this was an actual response from Samsung-something that almost NEVER happens-worth warranting a new thread IMO and others I am sure. So what do you expect...are we supposed to go to every thread and read every post to see if someone has said something before? It's one thing to check for duplicate threads, but to actually go and read every post in every thread? You were trying to be a **** by calling out the OP, but your response to him was 100% false. You failed.
[Fascinate General] Kevin Gossett:
So by saying there were already threads in existence, even one which quotes Samsung's response... That is false?
[Fascinate General] ecooce:
it would help if you guys would just ignore the BS being said by members that just want to start ****... EA11 is ready for the Epic,but I cant say why it hasnt been rolled out...
[Fascinate General] tlogank:
You tried to come off like the exact same Samsung reply had been posted already 3x's, so yes-that is false. Explain to me why someone would go to the other threads about the rumor, see everyone mocking it and blowing it off as stupid, and then decide to check the thread again later, just for kicks you think? If 934 people had already seen the other thread, why would they have any reason to go back to it again?...right, because they wouldn't. That's why this one needed to be separate and on it's own so those 934 people could see there was an update and response from Samsung.
[Fascinate General] Kevin Gossett:
I'm pretty sure people are revisiting this thread to see all the bickering going on...

But like I said before, I'm done here.

Good day.
[Fascinate General] tlogank:
Lol, seriously man? You believe people are revisiting that post just to see people bickering about how dumb the rumor was? I guess if that helps you feel justified in your initial response to the OP, then by all means, keep thinking as such.
[Fascinate General] adrynalyne:
tlogank,

Sandy vag much?
[Fascinate General] tlogank:
Good one bro.
[Fascinate General] RacerXFD:
I would like to point out that calling someone names doesn't help the situation or your point. If you wanted to get your point across well, you should have used a little tact.
[Fascinate General] tlogank:
Point taken, was just frustrated at the time.
[Fascinate General] GoogleAndroid:
Now Samsung needs to explain why every other Galaxy S has Froyo and us Fascinate users are left in the cold. The Vibrant, Captivate, and Epic are as well, but they aren't crippled as bad as the Fascinate. The most we have gotten was one update that broke USB mounting. The phone is still bloated with Bing out of the box. It's unacceptable.
[Fascinate General] boostedjti:
Ta-da!

In all seriousness, why post this stuff on a development forum? (Before you give a slick response, yes this is a GENERAL section but this forum is dedicated to DEVELOPMENT)

In case you hadn't noticed, we have 2 froyo roms in the works.
[Fascinate General] Krustys_:
Off Topic

A little off topic, the discussion is how many times this has been linked or not ;)
[Fascinate General] soba49:
Just my perspective. The OP's argument for posting a new thread about a highly related topic is that his original thread turned into a joke. Wanting this thread to be taken seriously, he posted a news link here rather than add it to his poisoned one. Ok, fine and whatever up to that point.

Then another hornets gets kicked up by filling it with useless bickering by calling someone a douche. Why even bother!? How is this thread _any_ better than the first two now?

If you digress into name calling the moment someone disagrees or objects to your opinion, you are no longer contributing to a discussion.

Please don't bother tagging me with a he said she said argument either. The whole point is it doesn't matter.

Swyped w/ XDA App. When in doubt, mumble.
[Fascinate General] adrynalyne:
Nevermind, I am stupid.
[Fascinate General] calebm:
Sooo, not to get back on topic or anything...

What Samsung is basically saying here is: "We aren't evil, just incompetent. We promise!"
[Fascinate General] tlogank:
Actually you're wrong, I wasn't the OP, I was just defending his post to the guy who immediately tried to shoot him down. But you're right, the argument got out of hand, I apologize.
[Fascinate General] SeatownGST:
that sounds like a plausible response. the issue is the galaxy S is already end of life.
