Rangers, does your unit has the display/colour problem?

Yesterday I didn't test the video, altough I notice the camera capture has some issue on the display, I thought was the lengs. Today I capture few video and take a good look and notice more problems. Then I tried playing the Tron trailer... I notice the colour/display is bad,...
I tried NFS Shift and have same issue. Somehow viewing picture seems ok???

Does your unit has same problem? Or is it mine have problem? I might need to go Nokia Shop and compare with the demo set tomorrow....

Here's a sample, not so obvious in video recorded though, but you can see it:

Erm, I think its maybe my N8 AMOLED display or some graphic problem... Did you notice the black to other color problem? I don't know how to explain, seems like not enough colour or too big pixel, etc. I know there is somewhat similar problem if we set our pc display 256 colour, or downloaded a poor quality video, or maybe its the resolution. I don't know at the moment, can't process... My N900 seems ok, N97 seems ok too, of course, these two can't playback HD quality video.....

Anybody has any ideas? I saw some video posted by some others, including another ranger, seem like nt so obvious. Probably I need to visit Nokia shop tomorrow and check out the demo set...

Nope. Set to level 2, one bar below middle.
I have tired all different brightness, and also remove the screen protector also same.

Maybe is ormal, but I'll need to double check with the demo set and see first...

Tested photos... have same problem... very obvious for black blending to other colour. I also have one photo taken from N900, it showed well on N900, but on N8 the have the colour problem. Guess have to check out the demo set to compare...

kelvin,

For the contacts, there's no option to display by "nickname"?

Here's a rough sample how my N8 screen show the difference:
Original File, if you view in PC, there is no layering, the colours blend well and smooth:


But on my N8, it looks something like this.....

The photo I edited with 'auto enhance colour' mode to make the picture look more clear; Basically, on the N8, you can see "layering", which is especially obvious on the black colour blending to other colours, you can see layers, which is in pixels. Not really sure how to explain technically.
I tried viewing the same picture on the N900 and it looks normal unless I put the brightness to maximum, then I can see some layering, but still not as bad as my N8.

Anybody have N8 care to try to put the picture on your device and view it?

I search through the settings, there is no way to adjust the colours or contrast, or other display settings; only have light sensitivity, which is brightness I suppose?
On camera mode, I notice the brightness/contract is high so if I'm in a room, I will notice the quality on the display isn't good, but the image if display on PC looks normal. I adjust the contrast to lowest and the display much better. Hm....

I think one of the ranger did a reset and the "special" apps provided/pre-installed were gone.

If confirm others have no such problem, then I think my 2nd last resort is to do a factory reset; When all else fail, will need to send N8 to Nokia ICU already.

Really thank a lot guys for the kind help; Glad to hear it was not supposed to be like mine; Guess I'll need to try factory reset next...

Demo set N8 vs my N8...


For hard reset, read tthat I will loose OVI Store 2.0... any ideas?

Nope, not dirty, its the stars... Both the N8 I set to maximum brightness.

You notice the right one have 'layerings'. And the stars are visible, I think the default contrast/brightness is too high? But there no option for us to adjust these? I set the brightness to lowest still have similar problem.

Need to try a hard reset but read that I will loose OVI store 2.0, which cannot be reinstall. Any dieas?

Suppose is sw issue, then hard reset should fix. Not sure I should hope its sw or hw...
I'll try hard reset tonight and see how... still considering as I migjht loose OVI Store, else just send to NCC ICU...

Tried reinstall firmware using Nokia Software Updater & OVI Suite; seems the like just factory reset instead of hard reset.

Tried the hard reset method..... Will go through the setup screen when you first start your device....

Result: Still same..... My N8 need to masuk NCC ICU already...

Rangers,

Did anyone check with Nokia staffs that day if we have problems with our device, can we send in to NCC straight or have to go through them first?
If we can send in straight, is there any specific centre only?

Thanks guys/rangers!

Imagine Windows without Desktop, straight away MENU/Program List, and then... only let you run ONE program at a time.

In short; Maemo has is strength as well as it's weakness. Personally, for the OS, like MeeGo, it's a class above smartphone range OS; After all, Maemo is a Tablet OS, and the possibilities and flexibility is very wide, also on the customization, many things can be done. There is Chromium port (Google Chrome for Linux), there is mplayer, there is VLC player, there is full Java can run Java Applets, for programmers, you can even install NetBeans, there are applications for JB for PS3, there are aMSN (Desktop version MSN for Linux), so much more. But it really lacks the "power" to support all those.

Godlike or not, depends on each person definition/preference; Technically, it's a powerful device; If someone don't like Nokia, then close one eye on the branding thing. The OS itself is powerful and great. But the phone functionalities is very poor; can't believe it's from the same company which provides great phone function.

Just my cheap 2 cents "lah"; call it godlike or whatever; love your own device and OS. Each device and OS has their own target Customers or Customers that prefers them.


Now back to N8; Already send my N8 to NCC ICU... face some problems and go through several hassle. Anyway, already emailed to Radiance/Paolo to follow up with Nokia.

Btw, after I hard reset, I can't play those demo videos anymore, it shows license missing or expired?


I heard another rangers also send in his device to NCC?

Somehow I wished MeeGo never come into picture...
In my personal opinion, MeeGo doesn't look better than Maemo; Maemo is unique as it's an Internet Tablet OS, which has it's own category of users; Now if MeeGo is different (I feel its Android-ish), then those Maemo category of users will no longer have proper replacement OS, they'll need to "switch".
Finally, Maemo still sounds way cool than MeeGo; So does Android.

Yup, when MeeGo was announce and was speculated will not be available official for N900; It kind of create "havoc" in maemotalk and other sites, there's one famous blogger/site fed up, giving up and said the same thing. Me GO!

What do you mean?

Are you able to open facebook desktop version or it automatically redirect you to the mobile site everytime?

N8 still has no full Flash support yet.


True! It only applies for iPhone due to it's overly-strict restrictions that makes one feels like in a jail.

For others, all the while, it's been crack, hack, etc.
I don't know why they call PS3 JB, but since call it that way....
