Am I the only one that doesn't have the affect?

People with the sharp screens don't have it some people say they don't have it on the Acer screens this is **** I hope this can be fixed by software but I doubt it...

I may be totally losing my mind but I think rebooting the phones a few times has fixed the problem a lot just throwing it out there

This debate (which I just replied to in the General forum) reminds me of exactly what my Nexus S display looked like after the Gingerbread update from 2.3.2 to 2.3.3.. Lighter, less rich colors. However, after the update to 2.3.4, the colors were SPOT ON and solid.
Also it was not all nexus with the problem. I see them doing an update to fix the color temperatures like they did on the Nexus S

I have an AUO (Acer) panel and I don't have the lines as far as I can tell. The only problem I have is the flickering/ghosting effect when there's white text on black backgrounds.

I have the Acer screen and mine is so grainy that my text looks like the text from the original Nintendo games.. seriously this is horrible!

Have an AUO panel and I haven't noticed any of the grainy lines...so far.

AUO screen, haven't had a reboot in over a week of owning it. Should be getting a sharp as a replacement because this AUO has a smudge underneath the gorilla glass. Will do some comparisons and post them. In the meantime to make this thread more meaningful, the people who have this issue should post their box date and the date in the inside of the back cover.
Having an AUO I did notice some lines on the status bar as well as the icons. As I said I will have a Sharp tomorrow and will post some indepth comparisons.

Ok after using the phones for a few hours today:
My eyes either got used to this screen or in my attempt to see if I had s off I somehow got into a safemode a few times rebooted about five times as a result the grainyness has dimished in my eyes very wierd good luck

This can't be a qhd screen my g2x screen pops this seems washed now here's a better one I have my old attix right here also as I type this witch is qhd and I can see better darker colors hmm I'm just wondering why this is also just let me know if you want pics of all 3 of my devices for the trolls and nay Sayers because I'm sure there will be a ass hole comment that reads B.S this guy doesn't even own a sensation Troll Smh........so I will upload pics and write on paper something of your choice .

QHD has NOTHING to do with colors that POP. By the way, I am more than willing to take a picture of my Sensation and G2X next to each other. Sensation display blows it away in almost every aspect. Only aspect I like more about the G2X is it's blacks look better.

They say the HTC Sensation has 2 different companies creating screens for them so maybe the one you have isn't from Sharp which is said to be the better one,the thread about the two different screen manufacturers may have some answers for you

You again??? The great android developer who posted that thread the other day that was barely in english about comparing the sensation to the G2x. Didnt you say something very similar to this thread in that thread Mr. Developer? It seems like you are the one trolling because this is the 2nd thread you have created where you say the g2x is superior. So sell your sensation, keep the g2x and stop *****ing to us about it. and BTW, I do happen to own both the G2X and the Sensation. But seriously dude, this is the second thread you have created that I know of where you say something very similar comparing the sensation to the g2x. I love both devices but I do lean more to the sensation side.

The sensation has a qHD screen because its has 960x540 pixels crammed in the screen. Similarly the galaxy s2 and g2x and similar devices have a wvga screen which is 800x480 pixels. Its not a representation of screen quality but more of how clear the text appears. The galaxy s2 has a far superior screen because it has a super amoled plus screen even though its not qHD. The sensation has a s-lcd screen (i think) so the colours are not as rich but theyre still good. I dont know what the g2x's screen looks like so i cant comment on that however i think maybe you should do some research before posting

So you care more about brightness than anything else on a display? If so then stick with the G2X but other than being bright, it's really not that good of a display. Engadget said it's like a mediocre LCD and that LG skimped on this IPS panel.

That says a lot to the Sensation display if the G2X display is supposed to be brighter but the Sensation still performs better in direct sunlight. Want to see a video or pictures? I am on a video roll today!!!

You don't even know the difference between screen resolution and screen brightness but still you open a thread comparing screens? XDA forums are not Google search! If you search and can't find what you wan't then post. Those are the freaking rules! Someone must do something about Sensation's forums!

You're an idiot. The brightness of the screen has zero to do with the *type* of screen. qHD refers to resolution, not a technology. Also, the Sensation's display is MUCH nicer than the one on the G2x. Are you sure you didn't forget to pull the plastic off of the screen?
Oh and the G2x has an H-IPS LCD, *NOT* a NOVA panel.

OP is complaining about something he doesnt understand.

Every time I read one of the posts by this guy I want to throw up.
His English, grammar and sentence structure (or lack thereof) is not even on par with that of my friend's 10 year old nephew.
And if English is not your first language, use Google Translate or something. That should spit out better results than what you are coming up with on your own.

They are big. I personally think its much higher quality than the Sensation.. (Just because its aluminum doesnt make it a better build quality) infact i think that about Samsung compared to HTC anyways.. Sammy makes strong light devices.
Even with a lower resolution the Amoled + screens are far superior to the LCD screen HTC uses and the Note has an HD version of the AMOLED + Makes me really want one.

Lower resolution ????? The galaxy note has a 800 x 1280 pixels screen and it's not super amoled +. It is super amoled ( without the + ). Anyway this is not the place for such a thread! XDA has changed a lot in the last year! I miss the old days!

Dude its sensation general, general topics connected to sensation, and in this one a sensation owner has its eye on a note and wants to see if he is alone. I dont know how can this be bad or why would i miss an old xda, its just general
I dont have hard time carrying the sensation in the pocket, its light and thin (reasonably) i couldnt be more satisfied with the phone, but tht 5.3" screen, the specs, stylus and a HD super amoled screen sound sooooooo damn appealing... It really makes me wanna sell the sensation.. am i alone in this dilemma guys?

Or in this case, get a tablet. Id rather spend the $600.00 on a tablet rather than a new phone thats only edge on my current one is a larger screen. That is exactly what I did when I saw the GN.

Yeah, it's very good. It just simply, works. No waiting for this or that to come out for it or waiting for some dev to fix something that apple should have fixed long before releasing only to have that one dev go buy a completely different device and forget about you.
Android has better hardware but piss poor work ethic from the manufacturers.
Apple has much nicer looking products with lesser hardware, but they make damn sure that your never notice the lesser hardware. This iPad 2 is fast! I am typing this on the on screen keyboard. Something that was a pain in the butt on my dads toshiba thrive.
Android needs to finish what they start. I got tired of waiting for others to make my android devices what they were advertised to be. I got tired of having to devote most of my time learning how to do something on a forum that was supposed to work straight out of the box.
I love my sensation, but not all the drama that I have gone through to get it to where it is today. A lot of buttkissing devs and being *****ed at for eta asking has pushed me closer to apple. If it weren't for tmobile having me by the balls, I'd have an iPhone. People will say to go get what you want, but that is so dillusional. We wind up stuck with what we have and then have to deal with the issues. I was disgusted to see the sensations early problems needing fixing and then watch Htc come out with four clones of the sensation each new month rather than fix and finish what they started. Finish what you start!

Samoled is amazing, better than Sensation screen but also takes up that much more power. Sensation screen is also great not take away from that. 5.3" is a bit much dont you think? I had the vibrant it felt bigger than our Sensation with its 4.0" . Also I didn't really appreciate the plastic but it was/is really sturdy. I don't anyone had their phone break. I also have to say if the Note's glass is anything like the Vibrant's then you will be happy. That screen is almost impossible to scratch. You could literally take a key to it without a screen protector. Wish our sensation glass was like that. And lastly, touchwiz isn't bad at all. Give it a chance, with all the modded twiz launchers and alternatives its a fun device. Also theirs a sense look alike launcher I used for a couple days on my vibrant. So all in all it comes down to preference. But I have to say one thing, Samsung sucks at updating android versions. We got froyo 2 months after gb came out. And its not about to change either.

Agreed.
One thing I do notice however .... the phone seems to be the benchmark the other manufacturers shoot for or want to beat.
Then there's the guys who like to say they have a better option then the Sensation.
It would seem this phone set a new standard.

This is a phone... That is a phone... They do pretty much the same thing. Why make so much of an effort for a bigger better screen with a juvenile u.i. Atleast wait for something like a quad core and impressive games/apps exclusive for the quad. I swear i dont see anything that the sensation does which the desire hd couldnt. IMHO, these frequent minor updates dont make much sense and also ruin the fun after updating to a much more capable phone which is just better at everything.

I have a sensation that needs a new LCD panel. I'm pretty sure it came with an AUO and I would like to replace it with a Sharp panel. Has it ever been done before?

I don't think so l. I have read posts saying that you have to use a certain screen depending on the one you had or the screen will become laggy and unresponsive when replaced.

Does that go for the LCD panel itself or just the Digitizer? Im having a hard time finding out how to tell what type a LCD is before I buy it. They should have printed either Sharp or AUO on the back of it so it would be obvious to buyers lol.

Screen question!

So I'm looking to buy a sgs2!
I'm looking at a white one for a really good price only flaw is that there is a crack in the screen
Which isn't a problem because it's not on the screen (including pics below!)
So my question to you guys is will this crack on the screen spread towards the screen?

To be fair mate i dont think anyone has answered mainly because you have asked a question about the Galaxy on the sensation forum???
---------- Post added at 12:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:31 PM ----------
However in answer to your question you will probably find you will lose touch features before the LCD goes if the crack does spread

That's not a crack I've got an HD2 which i stopped using cause the screen got cracked from top to bottom left to right all over. You can be convinced nothing will work but everything does work!! All areas are still usable if you can bare the rough when sliding your finger. However i have no idea what screen design is in HD2 versus SGS2.
Forget this thread and check in the relevant place where other users have the same
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using xda premium

Yes I reckon with a bump on it large enough it poses a risk to the screen being cracked as the part where the ui buttons are, atleast on the sensation and judging by the pictures, is the same as the screen part, not separate, then it could very easily enlarge to the rest of the screen.
