Whats my phone version? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Title ^^^^^^&^^

my version is I9023XXKF1 is good or bad?

It's terrible.
Actually, it's just a Nexus S? It has a S-LCD screen. SAMOLED is touted to be better in terms of contrast, color and viewing angle and is only on the i9020 versions. However it has a grid pattern not exhibited on the S-LCD version.

Congrats! You have a Nexus S

Shalom javer, the only difference is the Screen, its LCD instead of the i9020's SAMOLED, that has better dark color.
To know what yours is go to settings ---> "About the phone", there you can find it.
Kol tuv, lehitraot!

oh, and your radio version is XXKF1.
@polobunny what grid pattern? i dont see a grid pattern on my 9020

Use a neutral grey background and put your brightness to lowest. Look carefully.
If you still don't notice it, good for you, because once you notice it you cannot unsee it.
Should look like this

Edit: Helps to see if you're in a dark room. Lock yourself in the cupboard, simms.

youre right. i see it now. in that tone of color they are very visable(in the dark). i keep my screen at the lowest settings at all times, but i also almost always use pitch black wallpaper so i dont see it. i guess out of sight, out of mind with me. thanks for showing me though, i wouldnt have believed it otherwise

In settings.apk I see my phone model is I9023 and in the menu of recovery I see I9020
What's my phone model? x.x

BUMP^^^^^^^^^

The hardware model of your phone is printed under the battery. Pull your battery and look at the label on the phone, it will say MODEL: GT-I902X.

Display burn-in?

This G Tablet is just out of the box, but appears to have some type of "burn in" that shows up one certain colored backgrounds. I noticed it first in the background of the application Tweetdeck, but the attached image is with the plain background using the free application called "Dead Pixel Test". It was a little tricky to capture with the camera, but there is an outline about 1/2 an inch all the way around the screen with rounded corners and on the left side it it juts out to a point sort of like a "speech bubble" from a comic. This is the third display color of Dead Pixel Test, "light grey". I didn't see it with any other colors in that program, but depending on what colors are in the background in other applications, this outline may appear.
Could anyone else confirm if their display has this issue? This unit is new, so I'm not sure how it would have any burn in like this, so maybe all displays have this, or maybe it's just a display defect on my unit.

I ran the dead pixel test and it didn't have any issues like your pic. If you bought in a store bring it back and show them the test and have them run the same test on an in store display model.

Definitley bring it back. Better to have peace of mind than to worry about it.

Thanks for the confirmation. It didn't look right and now it does sound like it's just a problem with this particular unit I have. I am going to take it into the store as you suggested.
LCD panels can experience retained images, but it's far less likely to be permanent than the phosphor damage seen on CRT tubes and plasma displays. The new OLED panels will probably be bad for this as well. Set a pure white background for a few hours at low brightness to keep the temperature down (with no icons) then see if your pixel test shows any difference. If the image is really permanently retained out of the box my guess would be that it was probably a test result screen from the factory.
Good reminder for the rest of us that screen savers/timeouts are important!

[Q] Strange ring on the gray background

I find a strange ring on the gray background, such as the background of the notification interface.
The ring can only be seen in dark circumstance and it won't appear on the backgound in any other color. I've run some screen test software to ensure this strange problem.
Is there anyone else found this problem? How does it comes?
You can see the ring in the pic. I turned the light off when took the pic

Is it possibly burn in? Many amoled screen owners have burn in, including me and hundreds of other nexus one owners. Is there something circular that stays in that location on your screen all the time?
It could be the wallpaper?
Yes if your wall paper has a circle in that location, that guaranteed that's it. These amoled screens do not like static images in one location, burn in is very common.

I'm sure that it is not cause by burn in, becasue I only use the nexus default live wall paper and none of my apps have a circle in that place.
Like I said, the most strange thing is I can't see this circle in any other background except the gray one.

I have the very same ring here, also only visible in dark environments. Looks like they are using vacuum cups to handle the display glass ...

ja, I also guess that is caused by the way of handle the screen.
BTW, your Nexus S is i9020 or i9023? It seems that the Nexus S sold in Germany is i9023.
If your device is i9023, than it will prove that the problem can be found in both Super Clear LED and Super AMOLED (my device is Super AMOLED).
I have that to.
But I only see it in the notification bar. I think its suppose to be there....

It's a i9020 imported from UK.
Did you ever figure this out? I have the exact same problem, my ring is the same size, but a different location
so how do we get rid of it???

[RESOLVED] Can the brightness go any lower?

I know this has been asked before on specific kernels and bugs of sort but I am wondering if it's possible to go any lower on the brightness that we have. I have tried all the roms for the NS4G, rooted and stock. In the dark it's still too bright. I guess there could be worse things to have happen or complain about.

Your sig shows you on cm. Did you check the cm settings*display*automatic backlight*light levels*use custom*edit other levels . You can edit all levels of the backlight.
Also if using the miui rom in settings* display* advanced. Same options at cm7.
I have my lowest level at 14

Ok that is awesome thank you. I lowered it to 5. Now is this a filter or is the light really at 5%. I bet I can save some juice as I don't used it to surf at work and I read in the dark. Thanks again and thanks button hit.
Edit: Oh man, there can be up to 3000 levels set! Holy crap. Nice

Colors seem washed out, unsaturated

Anybody else have the colors look a little washed out? I tried vivid and standard colors, but barely see a difference between the two. Maybe my S5 has just spoiled me.
Sent from OnePlus One
The OPO does not use a Super AMOLED device so colors seem different, blacks are more grays. You can adjust it accordingly by using the custom presetting
Try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54321008&postcount=6
Adjust the settings around till you get it the way you want it.
The S5 is oversaturated, that's probably why this display seems washed out to you, it's a more natural colour balance.
Transmitted via Bacon
I had the worst problem coming from a note 2 to a nexus 5. I put the nexus and the opo next to each other tonight and the displays look the same. Is just how a IPS display is.

Try these settings. Looks pretty close to my GS5.

When I have my brightness maxed out and the option to increase brightness in sunlight turned on I see this as well.
It's because most displays these days exceed the sRGB color space, and Android doesn't use color spaces, so colors are generally mapped to the full gamut of the phones' displays instead of trying to match sRGB. The OPO's color is actually VERY accurate compared to most phones out there (a major reason why I got it vs the Sony Z3). Just needs to warm up the white balance a bit.

There is 2 kind of green screen from what i was found

hi guys
i want to share my experience bug. there is 2 kind of green display, one of is someone already post on xda seems display defect. but what i got is bug i think.
you can see from my picture green bar on the top will appear in some condition only and it will disappear in home screen only when you using another Launcher. but in another Launcher it will only show up in recently app menu (different location). so far i can say if you meet same with me do not panic and make conclusion, try another method first like what i did.
my conclusion is there is bug around home things because its not appear when you playing game or watching movie

Not sure if it's really not visible or I'm blind, but I can't see the green bar.
The fact you've posted a screenshot that shows no issue, whilst you see an issue on your device, would heavily indicate that the issue is hardware based
