[Q] New batch with different touch panel?

Recent commit in the touchpanel kernel drivers area:
http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/75571/
Looks like getting the touchscreen controller's firmware ready for a WINTEK touchscreen (versus TPK, which is the current one).
Any info anyone?

Maybe they found TPK to be too unreliable in terms of quality control and decided to try Wintek out?
Wintek are known to make touchscreen for iPhones and other phones.

I wonder if you can RMA based on crappy touch screen and get a wintek screen panel?
How do you check what panel you have now, is there a way?

If this is the case, and it would fix all the existing touch problems, that would be so unfair towards customers who purchased phones with this issue...
Mine is 26/08 and I have no quality problems at all, no yellow band, no ghost touches, but still!

Golden rule of technology: Never buy the first generation of anything.
It's not unfair, it's just a nice perk to those who came after us. OnePlus had no way of knowing the touch panel would be as big of a problem as it has been. We'll still be getting driver updates and the like to make our panels more usable.

Wtf i want a new device. I hate yellow banding.

This doesn't resolve yellow banding. That's an issue in manufacturing that was fixed long ago.
In your case, find a UV light somewhere. Hair salon has them. Just leave your phone under it for a bit and the yellow will be gone. It's because they didn't leave them under UV long enough in the factory to dry the glue holding the panel to the LCD.

The yellow banding was not in any way caused by the adhesive/glue. That was an excuse offered by OnePlus as damage limitation. It is one of their many many many poorly thought out excuses for all the early hardware problems.
Oh and the problem does still exist in the current batches.

I had hoped we'd left the yellow band / yellow tint stuff behind us. Can't we just leave it now? It's not productive. It's not the point of the thread.

While I do see your point, you have to realize that any thread regarding display discussion is going to result in talking about the yellow banding. Unfortunately, the number of people who have it is VERY large and many people who spent their hard earned cash on the phone feel let down by it. So naturally, if a topic comes up about a new display, the conversation is going to turn to discussing if this new display solves this widespread problem.
Is it annoying to read about it every day? Yes. But is it an issue that OnePlus refuses to admit to as being a defect and something that bothers A LOT of OnePlus One users? You bet. It will not be left behind until OnePlus truly acknowledges the issue and solves it. Until then they will continue to distribute the phone and buyers will keep noticing it and rehashing the topic in this forum.

just got mine today 10/10/2014 on the box.
How can i tell if it has the new touch panel ?

On a terminal app or an adb shell, do:
Code:
cat /sys/class/input/input0/vendor_id
TP vendor codes being:
Code:
#define TP_VENDOR_WINTEK 1 //ʤ»ª
#define TP_VENDOR_TPK 2 //TPK
#define TP_VENDOR_TRULY 3 //ÐÅÀû
#define TP_VENDOR_YOUNGFAST 4 //Ñó»ª
Most likely you'll get "2"... I think we would have known via an official channel if there is an important change like this. Also the driver would probably undergo some changes to adopt a new TP and we would know via gerrit / github. Still, Steve Kondik's comment "Needed for the next batch." puzzles me.

Received my oneplus today, built Nov 3
the above procedure shows vendor_id 1 so WINTEK

Replacement phone displays issue?

I had to get a replacement phone because the volume button stopped working.
I don't know if it's just me, but it seems that the display on this new one is very washed out and had a pinkish tint to it... I don't know, it just doesn't look right.
Does anyone else have this issue, or is it all in my head? I am a picky person
UPDATE: I just called Verizon for a replacement with no problems. Hopefully this new one has a fresh screen.

Sounds like a display panel issue to me. I would definitely beginning another replacement. I know its a hassle but I that would drive me nuts. I know if you're not happy with it you can have another replacement ship to you. I wouldn't wait too long though get it taken care of as soon as possible

I'm just afraid that they will say since there is nothing wrong with it, they won't give me a replacement or that they will charge me for another one.

I definitely call them and find out that information for sure. I'm sure if there's an issue with the phone that they'll send you another one free of charge. Just call and explain it to him. You don't know until you ask. Now it specially since you're on the newest firmware you can't root it I would definitely be exploring my options

I may do that.
Also, I just now noticed, but the top of the display bleeds. So I probably will get a replacement.

I would definitely get a replacement. This phone has the best LCD I've ever used on a mobile device. Colors are fantastic, whites are white, any there's absolutely no light bleed. It sounds to me like you have a defective unit.

I know it does. The screen on my last one was fantastic. I may call support next week and try and get a replacement. I do expect some hassle, though.

Still same bad displays?

So my GALAXY S5 display after being replaced 2 times in 6 months started flickering. My phone is very hard to be turned on because of the green flickering.
I just want to upgrade to a S6,S7 Edge or non edge. i just want to know if they have the save problem with displays ? I want to have a phone at least 2 years, can you recommand me a phone like that ?
I was just considering switching to a iPhone even though i prefer android on phones ... how are S6,S7s displays ? Samsung still have the same problems or they have learned their lessons?
Because i still see on youtube flickering problems on S4,S5,S7,S6

I don't suppose it is something common. I have s7 for 6 months but I haven't encountered with such an issue.

I've had an s5 for year and a half, and my dad is using it now, so it's being used more than 2 years and it works flawlessly. Currently I'm on s7 and also no flickering. That isn't a common issue I think.

My problem with s5 gets worse on cold wather.

So there are very small chances to have problema with display on the newer devices?

Camera Focus Problem

Anyone's camera having trouble focusing more than a few inches from the camera? In monochrome mode, it focuses fine, but in regular camera or video mode, mine can't focus properly. I tried resetting the camera app, but that didn't help.

Yeah, having the same issues on our Mate 9 (Chinese Version) since the latest patch for EMUI 5.0... We tried a factory reset but nothing worked so far. Hoping for a fix soon...
Current software version is MHA-AL00C00B175

I sent mine in to Huawei for repair last week. Waiting to hear back if it will be a repair or replacement. While I was waiting for the shipping label, there was a day where it started working, but then it stopped again.

Also noticed that the focus works fine for close objects, just everything farther away than about half a meter gets blurry... I dearly hope its just a software issue instead of a hardware error...

That was the same with mine. Factory reset didn't help. When I first got it, I actually had the opposite problem but thought I just needed to put macro mode on.
I got my phone secondhand so I don't know if it came like that. The one day it worked again, it did seem like it was slightly blurry though.

Has there been any update on these issues?
My ADM mate 9 has the same issues as above.

Mine arrived there almost 3 weeks ago and I'm still waiting. It's been almost 2 weeks since I got an email from the repair center saying they're looking at it. CS seems disconnected from the repair center and can't give any kind of estimate.

Received a replacement phone today so I'm not sure what the actual problem was. I'm pretty sure I only got the replacement because I called to complain that it had been a month. It's probably better that I got a replacement instead of a repair though.

I have the same problem
Did any one have a solution?
Did Huawei replace the unit or fix the problem?

Did you read my post above? They sent me a replacement so I don't know what the fix is. My guess is it's a hardware problem though. Going through warranty if it's available to you is the best option. It may be a long painful process like it was for me though.

All with camera focus problem are with Chinese version of Mate9?

Mine is US. I don't know what versions other people have.

I'm having the exact same issue, with monochromatic looks perfect. But in the rest modes look awful

mine is a huawei mate 9 pro lon-al00c

Our phone was sent in as RMA too, the seller confirmed the hardware problem and repaired it apparantly, just received a noticed that its done and will be sent on its way back to us... I will report if it seems like an actual repair or a replacement, took about 3 weeks + about a week for shipping to china. Lets hope that problem doesnt affect all mate9

But it looks like a software issue, monochoromatic looks perfect

You do know that the mate9 has 2 different camera modules, one color and one monochromatic? If it would be a software issue, there wouldnt be any need for repair/replacement, just an update...

I have the same problem. After searching online for this issue, I realized that it's a hardware issue with the color camera. If I smack the phone, while the camera app is on, the camera is able to focus a bit better. Not 100% though. Very annoying... BTW, I'm on the US version with the B190 build.

Autofokus

I have problem with my autofokus.
Sometimes my camera is not focusing at all.
Only thing that helps is tapping on the side of the phone.
What do you guys think, is it a hardware problem?
Do i need to replace my phone?
