it could be his mamaboard that made an inaccurate display?

the display chip come wt the mobo......

then andy should ask them to change the mamaboard (with display chip).

just got my N8 back today from NCC, after almost 2 weeks waiting....=.=, they changed the board...new phone...same body. hopefully it doesnt fail me this time....

but software update(Phone apps update) failed....

Actually I have visited them 2nd time. The 1st time, they change the OLED-1. Cut things short, 2nd time is when they blame the picture and if I insist, they need to send to HQ, which when I collect, still says it's the picture. So, I think no point wasting time and waiting to get back the phone.
I'm thinking to test other N8 in Nokia Shop or anybody I know who have it; If the AMOLED is like this, then I think nothing can be done, only can notify Nokia, so their next display they need to source another supplier? Or check for this problem.
But if it's the brightness/contrast parameters set in the firmware, then I suppose it could be fixed in firmware updates, or any app that can adjust it. Why I say this is because the display is perfectly FINE in daylight condition (outdoor daytime), but when go indoor lowlighting, it become like this. Or maybe it was the light sensor?

Another reason I suspect it's the brightness issue is because I test on the N900, if I set the brightness to MAXIMUM, I can see some of these problem. So I suppose the brightness is too much on the N8? Btw, I set to lowest brightness (light sensor settings) on the N8 already.

I really think it's the display chips

Have you tested your display? Got the same problem? I assume mine has the same problem as well.

What problem did you have ? 2 weeks of waiting?

what happen to ur phone?



maybe u ask a buddy with N8 go with u n show them a direct comparison... ask any ranger near u! .. a 16Million colour screen shouldn't have this problem.. a PC TN 8 bits panel can do better than it .. is unacceptable....

Andy214, come to Skudai lets make comparison with the display.

while making a call, phone turned off automatically, i turn it on "phone failed to start, please contact retailer", removing sim card and all doesnt fix, hard reset doesnt fix it either...

ffuuuyooo... this is new feature.. never heard b4... like xbox360 rrod problem will prompt u..

Mine worst , while charging , open camera suddenly freezes and off. Dead cannot turn on anymore and the camera sensor cap is still open

Although when i insert usb , my pc will have the sound that you have inserted a usb device and then disconnect after a short while.

I have no idea; I know some forumer might be having similar problem, so maybe the AMOLED is really like this, or my unit is more obvious. I need to test out other units when I visit any Nokia Shop, hope they don't ban me, LoL....
Last time I test and compare, both unit set to maximum brightness, it's very clear that mine is different, even capture on camera, still can see the difference. Seeing LIVE is more obvious.
Then at NCC, 1st time send in, they don't have the demo unit, but luckily one customer send in the N8, and we compare side by side, cleary can see the difference.
2nd time send in, they have a demo unit already, so compare again, still can see difference, although their demo unit also can see a little bit.

You should see my phone when playing dark videos, it's crazy awful; Imagine those people wearing like MIB, their black pants and coats will see all these problems.

Check out this TRON video I captured, this is what I'm talking about, having "layers", the light and dark like have separate layer, it didn't blend smoothly. If got smokes/clouds, you'll see multiple layers from black to gray to lighter colour.

If changing the AMOLED screen still doesn't work, so it's possible it could be caused by display-chip/mamaboard. You should convince them it's display-chip/mamaboard problem

Since the NCC blames it on picture and such rather than rectify it.
Why not all user here who experience this problem go to the same NCC together and bombard them.
At least it pressures them somehow

the best feature ever..

Sorry for not following the thread:
Have you tried holding the power button for > 8 secs?

I'm not sure the phone is really off OFF. Usually, if it won't turn on, we remove the battery for a while, then put back the battery, but for N8, it'll be hard. Removing the battery and put it back on is different from removing it for a certain period. If you remove it and put it back straight, the phone still have some power to it.

I somehow sees this and it really looks like mine is having the exact problem too. Hopefully changing the whole Board solves the problem.

u said they change ur OLED for u 1 time? then high possible ur display controller/chip leh...

N8 fail....delay so long but still fail...
