I am not sure whether the system setting affects the screen quality.
Mine is 2.2.1 and with good screen. Perhaps there's something can be done on system settings to fix that?
Here are the details on my good display box.:
HTC MYTOUCH 4G BLACK KIT
IMEI:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
S/N: SH0BDRM02582 (not clear if these are zeros or "o's")
P/N: 99HLR001-00
SIM Serial: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
RS 170-5900
KIT SKU: 610214623829
KIT SKU: 000000610214623829
UPC CODE: 1021462382
TGT 170-5910
Made in China
Came with 2.2.1
Also inside the battery cover to the side of the P/N I have a A
I think the MFG date is encoded in the serial number. But you have to have there code to know what it is. I know when I worked for Compaq the main boards serial number had the location date rev and serial number. We used letters to represent the different months etc.
Maybe some others with a bad display BLACK can compare to my details.
I also wonder if the camera button could be a indicator? Some have reported the camera button being a slight bit different in height and texture. I can't compare at the moment but I will and get back. It seems to me when I got the last one with a bad display I really noticed the camera button was sticking out more and the texture on top of the button felt more coarse than the one I have now.
We could also take a look at the SYSTEM INFO in the Hboot (vol down + power). I have the "bad" screen with:
LCD-SH-C2
TOUCH PANEL-ATMELC12_20aaT
I wonder if anything definitive there that would indicate the presence of either of the screens.
I went and got in on the BOGO. I got the red and girlfriend got the plum. Mine was from a second batch that came with 2.2.1 already. Hers was first batch with 2.2 and bad screen. Went back the next day to exchange it and the guy says they just got a new shipment. He pulled two out and we looked at them. Both had 2.2.1 and good screens. I think it may be more of just the first batch.??
I have a good screen: Made in China.
Here is what's in my System info.
LCD-SO-C2
TOUCH PANEL-ATMELC12_20aaT
Maybe some others with good and bad can share their dat to see if there is any correlation. Still no way to tell from the outside of a box though.
I can't find LCD version, but the system date is Sep 27.
Had my buddy swap my Plum (good screen) one, for a Black. All the Taiwan ones had bad screens. He had 1 China build in the whole store and low and behold it was a good screen. Shipped with 2.2.1
My last one (Plum) was Taiwan, had 2.2 originally and had good screen.

Power off, then hold the power button and volume down button until screen comes up, then you will see it. System info I think.

If its washed out then you have a bad one there are two different types of screens shipping out a washed out one and a rich and colorful one

I just got mine Friday and the screen quality looks about the same as an Evos friends have. I am coming from a Vibrant so I just thought the screen looked a little faded from that. It is made in Tawain shipped with 2.2 updated to 2.2.1 so how would I know if it is a bad screen? should it be brighter then an Evos screen?
I currently have both made-in Taiwan & made-in China myTouch 4G.
The one made in China definitely has better screen compared to the one made-in Taiwan.
I'm going to go to the store and get it exchanged today.
Some info on the ones I have:
Made in China:
- color: black
- rooted: yes
- shipped version: 2.2.1
- LCD version: LCD-SO-C2
- FCC off center: yes
Made in Taiwan:
- color: plum
- rooted: no
- shipped version 2.2 (now is 2.2.1 after OTA update)
- LCD version: cannot check (I think it only shows if your phone is rooted)
- camera off center: yes
Other than that, other things look and feel the same to me on both phones including the buttons.

Yes I think you are correct I could not get the system info from my wifes phone either as she will not give it to me long enough to root it.
Mine has the same as your with my good screen.
FYI, I just came to a T-Mobile store and showed them my washed out screen. They exchanged me another phone without any problem. This time I specifically asked for one that was made in China. I tested the screen at the store and came home happy

Great glad this is helping people get what we should have got in the first place.
Sorry to be an echo in here, but it looks like it's definitely a matter of LCD-SH-C2 vs. LCD-SO-C2. I already posted my details here on XDA, but here are my comparisons...
Bad display...

Good display...
LCD-SH-C2 on the left side of the pic, LCD-SO-C2 on the right...
@shlongwoodian you are correct I think the evidence of this is now more than sufficient. So If you want to know if your device has the bad screen for sure, root it and check the system info in hboot.
It's a shame there is no way to tell from the box.
I think the reason it you're able to see it in hboot is the result of the specific engineering hboot (.85) that is flashed during the root process. You may not see it if you reflash the stock hboot (.86) once rooted.

Now in action. Guess the photo above was real or the closest guess possible. Hardware Is REAL.

Im stoked................
GSMARENA
Update: A new batch of rumored specs have surfaced over on GSM Arena, and these seem to be more in line with what we'd expect of a new Nexus. According to an anonymous Google employee, that 4.65-inch Super AMOLED HD display mentioned above is just about the only spec to make the final cut. The processor, however, is more likely to be a dual-core 1.5GHz Exynos (that's right) with an accompanying dual-core PowerVR SGX543MP2 graphics chip. That rear facing camera? Try 8 megapixels with a newly beefed up sensor. The handset should also ship with a girthy 2,050mAh battery fully capable of juicing this apparent LTE / CDMA / GSM Android monster.
Ugh...too bad it's verizon only.
I just hope that ICS comes with Chrome as the default browser instead of the one they use now.
I'm really concerned of amoled burn out. With ICS since the buttons will be virtual on screen buttons won't the constant black bar at the bottom of the screen burn out the amoled pixels?
I have burn out on the notification bar on my galaxy s.

Most believe that the pic in the link here is a legit "teaser" of the real Nexus Prime. It was posted the same day as Apple's big *cough* event the other day. The pic in the link clearly shows a phone with much softer edges around the bottom corner of the device.
Nice try tho! LOL

I will leave my AT&T contract early for this phone.
no need to leave...i still think this device will be on all carriers
it will launch first on verizon
with it filtering to the other carriers shortly thereafter

nice find
its interesting there is alot of conflicting information on this device....some sources still reporting a 1.2 dual core TI cpu rather than the 1.5 exynos and some reporting that despite other recent leaked specs that it may actually come with a 8mp camera not that....that is as big a deal for most users other than perception.
All these discrepancies in specs are crazy.
Maybe the Verizon version (Droid Prime) has different specs than the phone that's hitting the other carriers (Galaxy Nexus).
Not that I'd even notice the difference, but I'm kind of hoping the AT&T variant gets the Exynos processor. I hear they scream.
And I really freaking hope this phone isn't exclusive with Verizon for a long period of time. I hate it when they do that.
If I have to wait more than a couple weeks after the Verizon launch, I'm going to call Samsung, keep asking to talk to the next manager up the chain, and when I've gotten the highest person they'll let me talk to, I'll unleash a string of expletives that would make my mom pass out followed by the plea "I'm stuck with AT&T...DON'T YOU WANT MY MONEY??????" Then I'll call Google and do the same thing.

I have had my captivate for over a year and I get about 4 hours of screen on time daily and I have no burn in on the top when I flip the screen it all looks perfect maybe its inlt certain phones
Currently Pinnacle 1.2 and have never been happier
Just a matter of time and there will be a gsm version. 90 % of the world's phones are gsm, they will be wanting a piece of that pie.

Looks like I know what I'll be spending my upgrade on in May 2012
i recently got the samsung galaxy note 10.1 and after seeing how BAD the screen actually is i realized i cannot stand a bad black level i plan on selling this and buying a asus padfone 2
now my question is how good is the black level on a padfone 2 is it perfect black or is it as terribly bad as the note 10.1? as i am not sure if i want to go through that again
i have read that lcd technology can't show good black only SUPER AMO LED + does but amoled is also extremely over saturated i remember when i saw a galaxy note for the first time the colors were terrible
from my understanding it uses a technology called Super IPS + 2 or something
i figured the one x would use the same technology so i googled it and checked if it had good black according to reviews it has bad black
so back to my question is the padfone 2 able to show perfect black with no bleeding from either light or colors? (i have seen a iphone 4s and that has bad backlight bleeding)
as the black the note 10.1 shows is unacceptable it makes live wallpapers with a hint of black impossible ot enjoy the colors seem to melt in with the black and then theres that low resolution
side question what color is the padfone 2? i have seen it in so many different colors
one picture shows it very perfect black (perfect color in my opinion)
one picture shows it dark grey
another picture shows it glittery light grey (the grey that made me pass on the padfone 1)
The black its a nicely black and when I turn off the display its a real black.

No.
No LCD display of any sort will be as good as SuperAMOLED when it comes to reproducing blacks; the technology is entirely different.
If you want perfect black, go SuperAMOLED. If you want perfect colour, go LCD.

well i don't know then i guess i should cancel my order and i guess i am so picky that i will never find a phone i actually like
yesterday i saw a youtube video and i thought it looked off with the bottom bezel being so much bigger then the top which then resulted in me not wanting the phone at all
so i told myself if it won't get deliverd on promised date being january 2nd i would cancel it
i guess phones are simply not for me
then again a remake of the sony ericsson p910i with android and with the same de attachable keyboard would probably be my ideal phone

what stopped me from buying the padfone 1
i thought the back looked like nail pollish so it completely put me off
i wonder if i will ever find a phone i would be happy with
so the black level is not good i would be able to see light in the black including bleeding of colors?
oh well i guess phones aren't for me
the black level on the note 10.1 was un acceptable and terrible if thats the kind of black level i would get on the padfone 2 then i would stay away

So basically you think that LCDs are unacceptable? If i was you i would just stop being weird, or just stay away from everything LCD based like IPS/TFT. Can you watch TV or you just find it terrible too?

I want to buy HTC One SV, in my country (Germany) it is only offered in blue and white.
But as many other people here, i prefer the black back cover.

Picture is from: rounded.com
I found some websites which offer the black battery cover or the black housing, but everywhere its "Not in stock", other colour or sold out.
So, where can i buy the black battery cover or black housing?
Every suggestion is welcome.
Solved! Read here
I purchased the Black One SV on the web but it is the Asian version with different LTE frequencies so am about to return it for a refund. I too would like the black housing battery cover as here in the UK like Germany the only ones available are in white or blue. HTC have confirmed to me they don't supply the black one in Europe.
Could you please post the links of the suppliers that you found (even if out of stock)?
All i can tell you about the black cover is inside on the top left there looks like it might be a part number, maybe this will help.
VH-P130218
(See attached image)
Hello and greetings to UK So i'm not alone with this problem.
One link i have, is the one in the first post at rounded.com. This is only the back cover but out of stock. Seems to be located in the netherlands.
Another link i had is dead in the meanwhile.
And then there is the whole housing from here: https://www.gounlock.com/details.php?itemId=9035
This one is located in San Francisco and not really cheap (and i did not figure out how much shipping would really be).
I also have searched extensively and found nothing, anywhere. (apart from the ones you found) It would be easier to buy moon rocks it seems !!
lol
The housing at gounlock could be the one for me but with the shipping cost it will be very expencive. And i don't know if working nfc (located in back cover) is inside.
Where are the cheap "Hong Kong" backcovers which usually appear at ebay
Have you found it allready? Also searching for a black one!

At gounlock is 1 black housing available.
Another german guy found china mobile (?!) battery covers in black and he want to sell them in germany.
They have a "China Mobile" text on it. I don't know where he found them.
There seems to be a lot of blue and white ones available, but I haven't been abeln to find red or black one...
Yes, blue and white are the colours for European versions.
Did not forget this Thread, but for One SV i find nothing new.
But another idea is to buy a black cover for HTC One ST. It has the absolutely same size as One SV and looks very similar . Its only released in asia/china, as far as i know. I think it has the same Hardware.
But i don't know, if One ST has nfc inside.
For those who are brave:
Black Battery back housing cover For HTC One ST - www.ebay.de/itm/181101832048?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
The cover i told in post #7 is here. Its from One ST and it has no NFC antenna but it fits perfectly.
Here some pics from the guy who ordered them from china (not the same as the one from ebay):

I have thought about the nfc antenna too,but if it is the genuine black cover then it should have the antenna.
Anyway whatever it is going to be as soon as it arrives I will take pictures of it and s

Do any of you have the slight yellow hue at the bottom 1/3 of your screen? It's especially noticeable on the settings menu. This happened with my HTC 10, and it took 3 phones to finally get a good screen. UGH! Time to return and try again...
I have a very slight yellow tint at the bottom of the screen also, but nothing which would justify a return.
Think it could come from the screen circular polarized filter, as from the screen viewing angle, this yellow tint varies on my phone
"Kind of" same effect seen on Google Pixel 2 XL, with a blue tint on the third top of its screen:

5 Things We Learned from the Pixel 2 XL POLED Debacle (second point of linked article)
In display settings you can adjust the colour temp. Set it to a little cooler and I think it's gonna be fine . My unit is fine, no tint, no backlight bleed, everything as expected.
My new replacement from Amazon will be here tomorrow! It's kind of like the Pixel 2 pic up above, but imagine the blue at the bottom as yellow, and it's when you're looking directly at it... not at an angle. Hopefully, the second one is good.
P.S. I had no issues with the buttons!
make sure sRGB is turned off or tune it to a better color profile

So what about your replacement unit? Mine has this light yellow tint as well and I ordered it from the HTC Club/Digital River.
Just sent them a mail today from HTC.com, but I guess I'll have a reply during week days.
I'll have a chat conversation on the website too at this time to ask about a replacement.
If they can't make me a replacement, I'll ask a refund and wait a bit before making a new order with it.
Otherwise, coming from a Galaxy S7 edge, this HTC U12 is really great! Too bad I have to send it back but at this price, I guess I'd like to have a "perfect" unit
P.S.: the picture doesn't show it really well but the yellow tint is quite noticeable in real life (I was waiting for a screen protection before removing the base covers too ;p).

So what about your replacement unit? Mine has this light yellow tint as well and I ordered it from the HTC Club/Digital River.
Just sent them a mail today from HTC.com, but I guess I'll have a reply during week days.
I'll have a chat conversation on the website too at this time to ask about a replacement.
If they can't make me a replacement, I'll ask a refund and wait a bit before making a new order with it.
Otherwise, coming from a Galaxy S7 edge, this HTC U12 is really great! Too bad I have to send it back but at this price, I guess I'd like to have a "perfect" unit

I just returned my replacement! I agree... If I'm spending this much money, I'm going to wait for the perfect unit. I have an HTC 10 that has an amazing screen, so if my u12 doesn't compare, I'll just send it back. Since you ordered thru HTC and it's within 30 days, I'd suggest getting a refund and ordering another. If you ask for a replacement thru warranty, you're not guaranteed a new unit (probably unlikely), but it's much easier to return with no questions asked and buy another.

So does that means your replacement unit was also affected? Oooh... better to wait before getting this U12
When I bought my Levono X1 Carbon (from Lenovo official website and it was using the Digital River platform too), the first unit had a dead pixel and I asked for a replacement. I had no problem exchanging it so I hope this will be the same for HTC.
Technically, in France, we have a return policy of 15 days from the reception day, not 30. I'm using this choice for now and will see when their desks will open on Monday. Otherwise, like I said above and on what you suggest, I'll ask a refund and order a new one. But I don't know if I'll place the order right behind the refund - I'd like to be sure if current units are affected with this yellow tint.
No one else is affected like us?

I'm not really sure? Maybe others aren't as OCD as us. Yours is definitely worse than mine, but I still couldn't deal with it. What color was your phone? Mine were both ceramic black, so maybe I'll try blue next. I'll wait a little bit to buy again too.
Have you received your replacement unit or have you already send it back?
Maybe we're the only ones affected by this yellow tint, maybe we are too OCD I'll be sure when I'll (eventually) get the new unit x)
I ordered the translucent blue one so not sure by switching colors, you'll solve any screen problem ^^
Sadly I have to deal with HTC for now as I ordered the phone in the HTC Club for the cheaper price. Otherwise, I would try with Amazon. The phones aren't supposed to be dispatched from the same depots but it might be a faulty production, so yes, better to wait before ordering one.
Yup, I returned the replacement today. I may order 2 next time, and then hopefully return only one. Ha. Stupid yellow tint.
Some news from my problem: HTC accepted to take back the defective phone and only offered me the refund option. So I'll wait a bit before making a new order Will stick with my S7 edge a bit longer =]
Great! I'm waiting for my refund to be processed before buying again. Oh, I will get one without yellow tint! ?

Placed my order for 2 x blue 64gb. Let's hope 1 doesn't have yellow tint!
Nice! Feel free to keep us to date when you receive them
Actually, in France especially, HTC mentions on their website they will ship new units at late July/early August. Maybe you'll get the last units of a « first wave ».
Hopefully during August or during September, it will be a new wave letting avoiding this yellowish tint.
I THINK WE HAVE A WINNER! It only took 4 phones to get there... Haha.

Mind posting some pics?
It's really hard to capture yellow tint or no yellow tint from a picture.
Keep it trying Just take a pic from the phone parameters and we will notice, or not
So, I received my other unit, from Amazon this time. And let's say that this unit has a worst screen than my first unit: the tint is noticeable at both bottom and top edges...
I guess I'll have to get in touch with Amazon and still hope for a homogeneous screen =o
Howdy folks, it seems the new Moto Edge 5G is exhibiting the same issues as seen on the Moto Edge+ since they share the same screen hardware. These issues are popping up usually within a few days of ownership and are starting to flood the moto support forums. Since we're an amazing group of members here at XDA, I figured I'd try to nail down some common ground and create a thread to discuss.
If your screen is exhibiting one of the following issues, please reply to the thread with the symptoms, the manufacturer birth-date (on bottom of phone's box), and a photo if possible. Please also share how long the phone was used before symptoms appeared, and whether it had been after a prolonged use period like all day gaming, or just poof it happened.
My Moto Edge 5G is exhibiting the purple splotches around the edges of the screen as well as the green tint.
Manufacturer Birthday: 07/09/2020
Appeared after 4th day of ownership, after long day of sporadic use.
I have a green haze right around the edges and I can't tell if that is apart of an edged screen. Will continue to monitor it.
If it's like the Edge plus and they basically share the same screen I doubt it will get better and will likely need a replacement phone. They did push a software update to the Edge plus that supposedly helped some phones if it hadn't started yet or was very early in the process.
As a person who is in the market for a new device due to a failing battery in my HTC 10, what would the general consensus be on buying and Edge right now? If it matters, I'd buy from the big yellow tag place since they have it in stock and are close. And then if the device has to be returned as well...
Wish they made the G Stylus with 5G

At the $500 price point it was a great deal, at its current $700 price point... I'd go elsewhere. Especially with the widespread screen problems, just look at the reviews on the yellow tag store.
Here's a great photo of the green symptoms side by side. Left is the old one, right is the new one. Pretty significant.

Are you trying to talk me back into getting one now?
*sigh* this is a case where you want something to work out so bad, you try to find excuses to ignore facts. and the $700+ price tag.
it just looks gorgeous.

There's no proof the new one won't start it in a few days. if you want to spin the wheel of chance, go for it. But at $700 I think there's better options out there. OnePlus Nord, Pixel 4a 5G.
Haven't experienced any screen problems, I purchased my device unlocked for $349.99, which is amazing for a 5G device
I will add my $0.02 to this and say I believe it is an LED issue. LEDs might not be getting the right voltage at low levels. Try with an all-white photo. lower your brightness. I bet you could not tell. Try with any other color and you will probably not tell. It is most notable with a super dark grey picture. The kind of dark grey that has a hint of green in it already. Turn the brightness all the way down, then up to about 15-20 percent. You should be able to see it then. I think it is an LED voltage control issue. Software update that was mentioned by one of you up above would make sense to me. Maybe I might just be imagining things or mine is just different than every one elses. The way mine started was at the top of the screen showed it lightly, then it got a bit worse. It has stayed since then. I bought this on the 2nd of August, received it on the 4th. Screen started on the 10th. Today the 16th has not had a change since I believe the 13th, if I remember correctly. It is rooted with Magisk and EdXposed. I might make a return/repair request tomorrow.
So I'm at 4 days with my replacement Edge and it's working correctly so far.
#3 unit
Another replacement unit.
Finger crossed
you really scare me with your screen problems. For the moment (5 days) I have no problem with my Edge (purchase in France) but what scares me is that it does not happen immediately and I do not have a purchase invoice (gift) .... I hope I have no problem soon: /
I really hesitate to sell it quickly so as not to have a problem ....
I have a very Little problema when I'm on dark grey screen with 2 or 3 % of brightness in 90hz mode... if I try to use 60hz mode the display is absolutely perfect..
Ok i have green tint...only at low brightness i have it...i'm si dissapointed....
I don't know what the HELL is happening
Moto Edge is not alone

They can fix it by letting us adjust screen hues , like how Samsung has , so we can calibrate it
Yep, just noticed it today. Took awhile (bout 3weeks). I've been in dark mode, and my wallpaper's of blackness, didn't notice. It's severely getting worse, quickly. Did anyone notice, after the September update? Time to contact best buy.
Mine started out pretty minor, but has been getting progressively worse over the last few weeks. Initially seemed heat related as I only noticed it while using Google Maps in navigation mode. IT would start out as slight dark ghosting of the screen image on the right side of the screen and would progressively creep to the left side. Mostly it's a darkening of the correct image by ghost image of higher up, in particular it's seen as a dark circle where the front camera is. If the part of the image being ghosted is a strong color it will be ghosted in green or purple. As the screen is scrolled the ghosted images move as well. It's since gotten to the point normal usages more then 10-15 mins cause the issue. If I use the camera too long in the heat or sun then the lower part of the screen will go white and the touch digitizer stops working. Attached is a photo taken while the screen was 2/3s white with my company iPhone.
The warranty replacement arrives tomorrow. I just ran the most recent update QPD30.114-23-2 installed claiming fixes for screen issues, but still saw the ghosting after the reboot.
