Hey guys , i think my htc one x screens white is not as white as it should be. my brother has a internation htc one x and his whites are way more superior. maybe color temp on at&t is bit warmer? is there any way to fix it? it getts a lot better at highest brightness.
if you guys can post your settings screen( since it will show good amount of white) snapshot at full brightness and lowest brightness with your room light off ,using some camera , it will be greatly appreciated. this will help me compare my screen.
would have posted mine but i dont have good camera in hand. Will try to get hold of one soon
thanks
Edit....

I'm the one off. Two one x's and never had yellowing
Sent from my HTC One X
When I was looking at the one X before I bought mine, the at&t store had 2 on display. One white model and one Grey. The screens on them were TOTALLY different!! The white phone had yellow whites and the Grey phone had perfect beautiful whites. Needless to say I bought a Grey phone because at the store that phone just looked better to me. Lol. Luckily the phone I got has the perfect whites.
People posting pics isn't going to work. They would need to take a picture with the same brand & model camera as you (and same settings), or the white balance will be different. You best bet is to go to the store and compare versus display models, or ask them to unbox one.

Ok, so I am on my second One X now and both have had more than 1 dead/stuck pixel. You probably have some too and just haven't noticed it yet. The easiest way to check is to set the brightness to max then set the background to full black (you can get dead pixel testers from the market). You will see small bright spots. Look closely and maybe you might have to tilt the phone to slight angles to catch the sub pixels.
One phone I have has 13 bad pixels and the other has 3. Terrible QC.
My second replacement device had a handful of buggy pixels. They would flash on certain backgrounds. Got my third replacement, and it is perfect. I have no intention of painstakingly examining for ones I can't see. If I can't see them I don't want to know about them.
Rabble rabble rabble.
If i have to do all that to notice them then I am not worried about it.

The thing is you will eventually notice them and then by then it might be too late to exchange it. It's not like setting the screen to max brightness and a solid black background is something that will never happen on your device...
I have only one. I can only see it if i look for it hard though at an angle. Not enough for me to go out and replace risking a worse one. But kinda discouraging... Still in my 30 to decide if to keep in general

I must have got lucky because my One X doesn't seem to have any dead or stuck pixels. I remember my PSP having multiple stuck pixels and that drove me crazy each time I used it because a couple were in the middle of the screen.
my first one had one dead pixel and back light bleed on the bottom, replaced it and my replacement is perfect.

No dead pixels here. Like davis, I had a stuck pixel on my PSP and it drove me nuts (replacement screen i got for 40$ from hong kong so nbd) Theres a tiny scratch in the glass of my Captivate which holds skin oil and refracts different colors like a CRT screen would do. That is by far much more annoying to me.
I got my phone yesterday and didnt notice it then, but now I see a dead pixel right smack in the center of the screen. It only shows on much lighter backgrounds, but my eyes keep gravitating to it. I might have to get it replaced. I hate that because I have my phone completely how I want it set up right now.

exactly what i was thinking
I found one that I can see ONLY when I use a screen test app on black background in the top right corner...going to exchange it. It's free to do so...so why the hell not?
Wow. This thread had me worried, as I've not closely examined my display yet.
I used a dead pixel tester from the market. Set brightness to 100%. The app cycled through several colors, including black and white.
I have 0 dead\stuck pixels. What a relief
No dead pixels for me either!

Dude, I remember buying the original psp on launch from my local bestbuy, bought the extended warranty they offered for up to 2 years and took my psp back to them after a 1.5 years and switched for a brand new one. My problem was 2 dead pixels on the bottom of the screen.
I've got one dead pixel. Either that or it's a piece of dust. Prolly dust since it's grey and doesn't really light up. Luckily it's in the top left corner and I have a grey widget there. You can't really see it.
*looks for it*
Actually... I can't find it today. It was there before, I swear.
Maybe it was actually dust....
Sent from my HTC One X
Checked the first day. Found none. Not going to be obsessively looking for one at this point. Had a little light bleed at the bottom, but i turned off the backlight on the capacitive buttons. I prefer it that way. Better reading/watching experience in dim environments.
Found one in the upper right corner. Impossible to notice unless I have a dark background present. Added with the fact that the screen is super high res its so small that I could care less.
I'm not going to risk receiving a phone with more problems for 1 dead pixel which I barely notice.

I'm on my 3rd (and final) One X but all three I've had haven't had any dead pixels.
Btw can someone post a picture of what the light bleed looks like? I'd like to know if mine has it but I don't know what to look for. Everything seems ok.
I'm having an interesting issue.
When looking at really dark images I can see sploches and streaks in the screen which don't move if I pan around the image.
To replicate open up an all black photo in gallery, let your eyes adjust for a second. Do you see extra dark regions that look like spatter and streaks?
I'm not sure if I can get a camera to capture it....
Do a screenshot, hold down power and then hit home button
Sent from my HTC One S
Taking a screen shot didn't capture anything. You can tell it's a hardware issue because when start to slide in the next photo the sploches stay there as the images move. Might go get another handset if this isn't happening to anyone else.
Maybe you can post the dark pic your looking at so we can see if we can see the same effect. I tryed looking at a black pic on my phone and I dident see anything unusual.

I had this same issue with my first One S, the unfortunate thing is once i saw them i knew where they were and couldn't unsee them, took it back to where i bought it and they swapped it. I also had light leak at the top and bottom edges of the glass on that same device, its just a build defect.
My new One S has no splotches or lines
This was a major issue on the Tmobile GS2, I have a pretty keen eye for it now. It shows on darker gray colors more then straight black and the One S I have now has this issue. It's a problem with Amoled displays.
So what's the verdict, do I return it or deal with it?

Hello,
So I got the HTC One X last week and the first one had a dead pixel so I swapped that one out. Depending on the day I go to the store, you see sometimes a nice lady is there or a mean lady is there. The store is Target Mobile. The mean lady I don't think has a blink of an idea of what cell phones are. She doesn't even know what a dead pixel is...
Anyways, so my new replacement phone seemed to be perfect, however starting from the bottom of the screen it has a visible blue tint and as you look at the screen from bottom to top, it seems to disappear. By this I mean the screen looks like a grayscale graph but instead it starts with a moderate blue tint and to an accurate white. It's actually really annoying when I'm typing in landscape mode beause the color differentations of the halves of the screen. Also, it seems like a piece inside the camera is loose because when I shake the phone there seems to be something inside moving. Also when I focus in the camera, it makes a physical click whenever I focus. So are these reasons enough to convince the sales rep to swap out my phone?
When I was changing my dead piexeled phone, she said " How do you know that it is defective. That may be the way the manufactuer makes it...
Anyways do you guys have any other counterpunchlines to use when she says stupid things like this?
Thank and sorry for this WOT.
I gave up looking for a phone without dead pixels. I tried to exchange my 2nd and two AT&T employees claimed that they couldn't see them. I almost wanted to tell them to get their eyes checked because I can see them at full arm length extension.
But screw it. I'm sick of wasting my time trying to find the perfect screen. I feel like the dead pixel epidemic is getting even worse with these super high res, high DPI screens.
From what you explained, I would exchange it. Is it obvious? If so it will be an easy exchange. Inspect the new phone carefully before agreeing to accept it.
I can see what appears to be a small fingerprint size bluish smudge in the upper right quarter of my screen. I actually only notice it on gray screens.
I keep telling myself it's not there in order to make myself believe it is truly the best phone ever.
So in an act of complete contrition, I'm going to rescind what I just said about the bluish smudge...
My screen is perfect... Hahahaha

Mine has exactly this in the middle of the screen. I can only see it in dark rooms when on a dark screen. It looks exactly like a finger smudge. I almost took it back at the 30 day mark, but was scared of getting one with dead pixels. so like you I convinced myself it wasn't there. It was, but now it isn't
I havent seen any blue tint or dead pixels on my One X

I currently got the HTC Desire HD and kinda love it. But it starts to get too slow, battery gets worse and so I thought about getting a new phone.
The HTC One S looks nice, perfect size, good performance, good camera and due to the AMOLED it looks like the battery last long enough as well.
But how does the AMOLED display quality look like compared to e.g. my Desire HD ? How abour reading from the display at sunny days?
Thanks

The display is great and one thing, which definitely deserves more praise rather than just being slated by a number of people and review sites. Sure the screen isn't as good in terms of sharpness and screen real estate compared to the GS 3, one X, GN and SE phones due to the 720P res. but the colours of it are superb and IMO better than the GN (too dull), GS 2 (too over saturated), SE phones (personally not really keen on their displays when it comes to the colours) and also the GS 3 screen, but the best thing about the one S screen is just how good it performs when in sunlight (as in sun shining right on the screen), I can see stuff (even on black backgrounds) without even having to squint my eyes (and that isn't even with 100% brightness, only like 70% brightness selected) where as with the GS 2 etc. I always have to cover it slightly with my hand in order to make a text or website etc. out. And with my S, there is no yellow/blue tints at all, no matter what brightness I put the mobile to, whites are extremely bright white (better than my dell U2311H), this will vary from unit to unit though.
IMO the desire HD has one of the worst displays ever, colours are extremely washed out, viewing angles are non existent, and it isn't that sharp either.
I do notice the pentile matrix, however, I only notice it when I have my face right up to the screen or am really concentrating on trying to spot the effects of it. The most noticeable areas I notice it are on the notification icons and white/grey text on black backgrounds.
From one of the best sites when it comes to hardware stuff and so knows what they are talking about:
I’ve griped about PenTile RGBG before on this panel and other SAMOLED displays, but I find the One S to be completely enjoyable in spite of having it thanks to two things. First, how well HTC has controlled the panel (no awful hues, weird white points, or dramatic shifts as you change brightness) - this is basically the best I’ve seen this particular panel, and until SGS3, the best I’ve seen AMOLED in general. Second, because HTC doesn’t appear to be applying any processing that applies sharpening (like Samsung’s mDNIe) to text.
How you feel about PenTile really is the final factor: it’s there, but I’ve slowly become accustomed to it after staring at it for so long. If you go back to the Nexus S days, I was one of the most outspoken critics because of how large those subpixels were. With small enough subpixels (below visual acuity), PenTile starts to make sense. In other news, HTC moving back to Samsung AMOLED for phones is an interesting move after supply issues forced HTC to SLCD with some earlier phones, here on the HTC One S however, it looks great.

Although as always, you should check out for yourself first to see what you think.
Imo, I would get the OneS if I were you.
I also came from the DHD, an moved forward after the no update fiasco.
I am on pre-pay and did not want to sign a contract again, actually ever but that's another issue, so I shopped around for the OneS on sell in different places. I could not swing full retail so I looked for NIB phones that are turned over fast.
Well long story short is, I looked and looked for a slightly used phone and never scored one sadly, I would up grabbing a OneX NIB for under 400 and couldn't say no to that price.
However I still like an want a OneS, nice form factor coming from the DHD and really is a sharp looking phone.
Would I suggest one to my friends, in a heartbeat.
Get yourself a OneS an rock on.

Same here. One X is so awesome big Take One S S4 - great phone. But remember using a case when you order the black version, cause after some time the color in the edges turns silver...

[REQ]Any developer that could help me with something? I want to make this app matching system UI with ready filters and put it in Setting so that it will look integrated like the galaxy screen settings, that would help ppl think the screenproblem is just a soft problem and doesn't depend on hardware. Please be kind and PM me
As many have noticed, and even made some ppl crazy is the yellow tint on our screen(HTC One X, Xperia Ion, S etc).
Searching for screen filtering at play store made my day!
Then i found this app: LINK https://play.google.com/store/apps/...e=search_result&rdid=com.netmanslab.sa&rdot=1
I installed it and then made a filter with:
Red 0
Green 0
Blue 8
Brightness: 100%
Contrast: -0
That made me feel like replacing the whole screen!
Second thing you should do is:
Press the MENU-button and go in to Options
Autorun [YES]
Hide status bar icon [YES]
Enjoy your screen!"
Works perfectly! Thanks again to roobeyn
Wow!
People are often choosing blue screen as being more white than real white color is. Please read why choosing white other then 6500k is making your eye not seeing many colours.
http://www.keohi.com/keohihdtv/learnabout/definitions/why6500k.html
Screen in one s is really very good calibrated as in every HTC phone past HTC Desire with amoled (which was first HTC calibrated screen with ota update and that update made reddish screen looks better).
Of course as every amoled it is very oversaturated, but it looks good on phone screen.
Anyway your advise for people which likes blue screen: adding blue to everything makes black not true black. This is looking bad, kills amoled contrast when normally black pixel are totally blank (because they are not lighting) and in that way will shorten battery life as normally on amoled black parts of the screen are not using any power.

What yellow tint, using that filter your screen is "colder", and like every filter you loose processing power and some colour. You are free to use it, but when you bought the phone, you checked the screen... Right?
