Hello All,
I was just wondering how many of you have noticed some little imperfection in your screen? Not like a burned out pixel, but actually a little blemish from the manfacturing process. I have one little tiny area where it looks like maybe something is under the screen, like a spec of dust?
Has anyone else experienced this? Should I expect the screen to be perfectly flawless? I mean I know it should be, but can you pick out a little blemish?
Thanks,
Sam
It seems like 90% of the phones i've had get a speck or two of dust under the screen at some point. Sometimes phones come from the factory with a speck already under it! My personal opinion is that if you go in search of a totally flawless screen, you're really going to inconvenience yourself for little to no benefit in the end. I started liking all my gadgets a whole heck of a lot more when I learned not to scrutinize them so closely. Mass production has it's benefits and it's drawbacks.

HTC is notorious for dust under the screen. All my HTC phones have had it. But u can't notice it unless direct sun light is hitting the screen.

I had one of those little tiny red spiders living in the screen of my dinc. I thought it was cool I would pretend he was like a little nanodroid maintenance robot fixing stuff, I saw him like 10 times in about 2 weeks then he was gone.

And this looks more like a tiny dimple, or imperfection, I would say it looks like (if they had them) a mold mark of the smallest caliber.
I was just trying to get an idea as to if expecting a perfect screen with zero flaws was realistic, and I assume now that it is not. I have a very picky eye, I will find a flaw if it is there, my wife is always like "Really?, I would have never seen that.".

Have you tried the market. They got everything HaHa
I agree that it's good not to be overly preoccupied w/screen compromises and deficiencies, given that all phone displays have them (the Rez' being somewhat subdued colors, unimpressive sunlight visibility, and crappy viewing angles), but I've never noticed a bad pixel or screen blemish in my Rezound, two previous Charges, two OG Droids, or a Blackberry.
yeah i hvae this tinnnnnnny spec of dust under my screen....my incredible didn't have anything though. that phone was built like a beast! haha
First 2 phones had dead pixels out the ass. Third phone had a spec of dust the size of 3 pixels that my OCD could not live with. Fourth has been perfect.

I really wouldn't call the colors "subdued" to me the colors feel more natural as opposed to washed out. But hell this is just based off of our personal opinions right here. All LCD's have issues with direct visibilty with sunlight, then again practically every phone does. As for the viewing angles,the only time that I could find that a hinderence, is when I'm showing others videos, it's a bit harder for me to view. But the other 99.99% of the time I use my phone I am viewing the at a direct angle so no issues here.

Your old inc was AMOLED correct? I believe any device using that technology has a zero tolerancy for dust under the screen. I haven't even bothered looking for dust under my screen, I was way too OCD about it in the past.
I dont know for sure about his...but some dinc had LCD screens.
Also....those who like Samsung TVs will say the resound is washed out. Just like they would say a Sony or Panasonic is washed out. They are not, they are natural but when you are used to over exaggerated fake colors they seem washed out.

Yeah I personally do not like AMOLED technology for that reason . The first batch of og incs had AMOLED displays, but when they couldn't keep up with the huge demand, they switched to LCD.
i loved the AMOLED screen of the inc, i thought the blacks were unbeatable and the colors were amazing............
that is until i got the rezound, realized how oversaturated AMOLED really is, and how much pentile displays give me a headache now because i continously focus on the pixels!!

Pentile is garbage hands down. It's funny to see all the Nexus fan boys try to defend the screen.
I do a lot if boating here in FL. The Samsung Omnia2 with it's Amoled screen was suppose to be easier to see in direct sunlight, thus perfect for me. I could not see it at all in direct sunlight. I can, however see my Droid X and Rezound screens in direct sun. Granted I can see them better in the shade, but at least they aren't useless as was my Omnia screen. I also felt the colors on the Omnia looked cartoonish.

Well if you get one in your Rezound it might be a pink spider!
It was amazing. Screen size was just right. 45% battery was 1:45 screen time on LTE. Comparatively, the rezound sucks. It is so thin and light. I can't believe how good it is. Makes me hate the Rezound now.

really? i played with my friends htc one s on tmobile and it made me love the rezound even more. My sense 4.0 was just as smooth as his stock sense 4.0. Verizon 4G keeps 4G inside for me all the time and his dropped to 2G and was slow. Everything it can do rezound can do with exception of shoot video and take photo at same time but everything else is the same. Rezound was just as fast too. And the weight difference is a little bit but you cant remove your battery on the one s so that isnt a good thing for me. I was very impressed by rezound vs a brand new device
We have bright screens.

The One X is way better than the One S. It made me hate my Rezound lol. That great battery life on LTE with the screen on was amazing. Their screen was so much more vibrant to be honest.

I can see the screen difference. Its a better screen. But I love being able to swap batteries. Until htc makes a device like the razr maxx, just can't have nonremovable.
Though, come this winter if verizon gets a killer wp8 device with lte, might jump back over there.
It's not that much better than the rezound to make me want to switch. I'm fine with the rezound for now.

I've played with whichever One that AT&T has (my mother got it and has no idea how to use it) and I think it's way too thin and I didn't like how you can't change the battery and how the flash works. If the XL has a battery and a removable flash like the rezound, it might be better. It was too big and thin for me, I thought id break it easily.
Lighter does not equal better. I like weight because it means better build quality (in most cases.). Not having a changeable battery is another downside.

No offense, but in 6 months, there will just be another phone that blows the doors off the One X. 6 months ago, that best phone was arguably the Rezound. The point is, there will always be another better device right around the corner, waiting for your envy to get the better of you so it can steal your money. I am not saying I don't agree with your assessment of that device... it is an extremely nice phone. But, it did not in any way make me think my Rezound sucks.
For now, rezound is ok, not the best but still great.
After I flashed your ConRom V4, everything works well.
The only bad thing on rezound for me is the thickness and heavy.
Other than that, rezound is still best for me.
GS3 looks awesome, sometimes wanna switch to it, but screen on rezound is better than GS3's pentile.
I might switch my rezound to other phone when next generation of S4 comes out.
Oh, I might say Thank you Con for your flawless rom, since I cannot leave reply on dev section

I like the heft of the Rezound too, just some psychological trick though. The physicist in me just screamed out that more mass means more energy...the phone gets jolted all the harder during a drop because of it.
Extra weight is generally bad and is just stored potential to mess your tech up, I wish mainstream reviews would explain that scientific point when it comes to devices: weight is a detriment to overall build quality, not a benefit at all.
That said, the Rezound is a tank lol, I've dropped without cases and it survived many a time. Screen cracked only on a direct fall, pancake style.

dude you know what's hilarious? i had two girls in yesterday who were like, "wah i hate the razr because it's so thin and small..my friend has one, she drops it all the time and it breaks every time."
so a million things wrong with that, but then i'm like, she really thinks that because it's THINNER means it'll break easier? are people dumb? lol
but yeah, the rezound always had a nice feel in the hand, hence why i bought it over the razr

Hey guys. I've heard multiple people comment on how the glass on the front of the Nexus 4 is smoother than any phone screen they've ever touched. Nothing to do with the software or jellybean but like the actual glass surface of the screen.
Does the LG Optimus G have this same buttery smooth glass? Has anyone been able to compare the 2 side by side?
My Nexus 4 will be arriving this week, but as I've always had SD storage on my phones, and I'm on AT&T in Vegas where LTE speeds are 15-50mbps and HSPA is 1-3mbps I'm really thinking I may sell the Nexus and pick up the Optimus G instead. But this butter screen I'm hearing about intrigues me, hopefully it's on the E970 too

Not sure about "buttery", but it is slippery as **** all over when you first get it. Be careful with this phone! After a few days of use where your hand-oils get on it, it's not as bad.
As others have remarked - build quality is amazing, battery life is great. Loving this phone... just need to get Google Wallet on it somehow
It has the same glass as the N4 gorilla glass 2.

We do also have the latest technology from LG, where they have incorporated the touch sensor into the glass. This makes for better response as well as better clarity since the pixels are closer to the screen.
I'ver noticed that this screen gets small scratches much quicker then my Galaxy SII, I had that phone for 2 years and it seriously only got a few tiny scratches through all my use. But after only 4 weeks with my OG, it has the same amount if not more haha. I may return it for a replacement as soon as my screen protectors come in.
What's your source for that info?

DISPLAY Type True HD-IPS + LCD capacitive touchscreen, 16M colors
Size 768 x 1280 pixels, 4.7 inches (~318 ppi pixel density)
Multitouch Yes
Protection Corning Gorilla Glass 2
- LG Optimus UI v3.0
It feels buttery smooth to me. It's the most slippery feeling glass I have ever touched on a phone. Let me put it this way: I felt compelled to purchase an insurance plan for the phone. I have NEVER had an insurance on a phone before this phone.
if you set the phone down on any surface that is not perfectly horizontal...it WILL slide off.

I actually had it on a completely horizontal surface and it slid off LOL.
I had my phone sitting on the AT&T box that the phone came in, completely flat on my desk. 2 seconds later the phone slid off of it. This is my definition of buttery smooth.

The other thing I've noticed is that in addition to the smoothness, it doesn't get as smudged up as my prior phones. And it cleans much easier as well, making it awesome. I hate having all kinds of fingerprints on my phone, and this one never has any due to the way the glass is engineered. Awesome stuff.

Yeah that sounds awesome, it always looks so clean in pictures.
So it's pretty much safe to say the screen, touch screen, and glass are basically identical on the Nexus 4 and Optimus G?
My Nexus 4 says it shipped days ago but still no tracking information shows up...was supposed to come yesterday and didn't and yet UPS doesn't know where it's at lol. I just ordered an Optimus G off ebay at a great price so if anything I can try both phones and sell whichever one I don't like, but I really do enjoy LTE over AT&T's horrid HSPA in Vegas. It's basically same exact speeds as 3G. So I'll probably end up keeping the OG even though I love the look of the Nexus. Just put a damn LTE radio in there Google!
This is exactly why I got the first silicone jelly case I could find even if it is normally for an LS 970 instead. Getting tired of picking my phone off the floor..

You know I think I am going to jump off the upgrade train.
The screen is perfect and better than my eyes.
The battery life is way way better than I need. I can buy a extra if I want.
I added wireless charging.
I added a 64 gig SD card 96 gigs storage is a lot for a phone.
I added a tempered glass screen protector. Can not tell its there. Perfect.
I simulated leather flip case that serves as a stand. It looks like a mini version of the cases I love for my Nexus tabs,
The phone is fast, you can not open a app faster than INSTANTLY no matter how fast your phone is.
I Love the software and this version of Touchwiz is JUST FINE.
I am done. Seriously. Here are links to the crap I bought for the phone.
Sd card
Wireless charger add on
Glass screen protector
Case
I am just at a loss on how a phone could be better than this in a meaningful way. :good:
I want a phone that does all that. And makes the ladies say,

Nope. Perfect phone would be a 5.3" screen, bit smaller, unlocked BL, HDMI out not that stupid PITA MHL nonsense, less bloat and a better camera with much better low light performance and stability and a bit better build. It's close but definately not there....
+1 on the camera.

Aside from that, the phone is TOTALLY awesome.

Hardware "MOD" - Sucessful tansfer of D800 (White) Main Internal Board in D801 Black
Just for the information of others, I just got done putting together a LG G2 "Frankenstein."
I had a perfect White D800 but also had a slightly scratched and used D801 Black. I REALLY like the black screen better than the White (for now ) and was looking forward to not worrying about even a little scratch that can happen on the white D800 but wasnt willing to spend the money on a D800 black replacement screen.
So I figured that the D800 and D801 are close enough i could just try and transfer the main board with my CM11 and interal storage on to the Tmobile version.
IT WORKED! :laugh:
I will updated over the next day if people are interested and tell how the signal goes.
I haven't gotten to putting the SIM in and testing apn and stuff but i was excited and wanted to post!
If you guys (or mod) think this should moved to the Original Dev or any other section let me know.
Pictures!
Here's a link to my drive with the photos
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B3pdxnQ-ZDs7X25qWWpMNFUxR0U&usp=sharing
UPDATE
I popped the SIM in and there has been no loss in signal. I registered it on the ATT network and rebooted, worked like a charm.
I have noticed that there seems to be a little bit of pressure on the screen as it is pushed out just enough I can see light from the backlight coming out of the edge of the screen. I'm not sure if something isn't sitting right or what.
I'll do more investigation today and then update.
UPDATE #2
Screen popping out is not due to any uneven parts. The last person to work on the D801 Did not put it back in correctly. the light signal issues Its having is due to my resent flash of the KK modem. So, all good so far!
I will update if things change!
UPDATE #3
Photo's added due to request! (thanks D_Mon88!)
I found a connector that was not present in the black version but was in the white.
I moved the connector over and it has made my signal SO much better. The connector joined a cluster of antenna at the bottom to the board so that explains why.
Update #4
This will probably be my last update unless something changes or someone requests. I found the back screen was missing 3 resistors on one of the ribbon cables. Because of this I reverted back to the full white screen. I am however taking the main board from the D801(T-Mobile) and putting it in the D800. That way I will have unlocked bootloader, with the duel boot bootloader found in the original android development thread for the internat. and tmob. variants.

Leather?! Thats awesome. I was just thinking about doing that to mine. Think you can post a picture of yours??
Im in the exact same boat, love white phones but the bezel has to be black. Youre exactly right, the black just makes the screen look great! In the case of my phone it makes it look really skinny too.
Photos up by the way!

wow, very cool! it looks great. bit of a shame about the verizon branding, i'd cover that up with a sticker personally. see what you think of the leather. i didn't cut it as nicely as it could be but i'm pretty happy with it actually, and it feels great in the hand. i'll post a few pictures this evening

yeah, neither the at&t or tmobile one isnt that bad to me. I might cover it with soft touch plastic with the color white
I look forward to the pictures!!!

Hello! Sorry its taken so long, I've been really busy, but pictures are finally here.
Its far from perfect...I used a patch of leather that had a bit of print on it, and the edges aren't that great because I initially had a homemade smart cover attached that started to annoy me and got snipped off crudely with massive scissors, but it feels great and I'm happy enough with it. Let me know what you think.
If anyone really likes it I have some spare materials, I can make a better one and send internationally for about £15 all inclusive
sorry for the awful iphone photos...what can i say, my bro has questionable taste...

thanks, its ok, i'm happy with it. soft touch spray sounds like it'd be really nice too. i dont know what you can get where you are or what kind of cool sprays might be out there, but check out a material called plastidip. i have a bunch here ( unfortunately in a nasty beige colour ) and it puts a smooth rubberlike coating on things and peels off perfectly cleanly if you decide you don't want it. they use it on cars a lot, and you can get it mixed with any pigment you want, even add pearl, metal, matte, gloss and glow in the dark finishes if you want.
let us know how it goes along with pictures when its done please

Sweet! Ill look into it today!
I will definitely post pictures as soon as i get it done! I might end up changing the name of the post to encompass the fact that we're now also showing other hardware modifications. Think that's a good idea?
Yeah I suppose you should
Its so easy to go off topic...its up to you, but I guess it'd be good if other people ate interested too.
Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
I always thought it'd be cool yo have a ceramic phone or one with an enamel coating. Maybe you can find some kind of soft touch glaze or something. Good luck!

Why didn't you just buy a white back off LG's amazon for $20?

I got the TMobile D802 for free. and i didnt have it before, just the white D800. But I could have just bought one for the back of the black. However, The black D802 had many other parts missing like buttons and the back two housings. I wish I had all the pieces for the D802!
Yay so I should be able to transfer my d800 main board to this :

Correct? You just change the board and nothing else ?
