Depends if the centre u bought have Nokia Care u can send for warranty. If stock available they repair on the same day or have to wait till stock arrive
*
But that Nokia Centre i think isn't a Care Centre. Btw , they repair or hard reset it? Repair all the memories wipe off?

I have tried hard reset but it doesn't work. Seems like it really happened to be a Dead set , with the camera sensor opened sad.gif

Depends on the damage if its software problem they might reset or format if its hardware problem like maybe camera module high possibility wont effect your memory.
Then u need to visit places that with Care Centre or else you go there blindy the shop ask you to proceed to nokia care centre
*
So , you are asking me to just go to Care Centre instead of Nokia Centre? Oh ya , need to bring warranty card?

Yup, long story short, they claim it's normal, it's the picture problem.

Not sure if it's really normal, if it is then no choice already; just wondering is it the AMOLED problem (but I compared with Samsung Wave Super AMOLED, it's showing perfectly fine regardless of brightness).
Possibly it's the brightness/contrast parameters defined in firmware? If it is, then it could be fix through firmware updates, or if there is an app that allow us to change it; If got such app, then will be more easy to diagnose or test.
Sorry, what I meant was it's already V10, hardly got any chance to be the 1st  tongue.gif

Andy , may i know how long did they took when you sent it in?

Erm, Within 5 working days? Mine isn't hardware failure, just ask them to check the display problem I highlighted. Actually this problem if they really check it, I think can be done few hours. Just need to compare 2 device, if theirs is the demo unit and it's showing properly, then means my unit have some problem; If the demo unit can be dismantle, probably they can switch the AMOLED display to test, etc?
But then, not sure if they have any procedure to follow, etc. which will take longer time, or the technician has restriction to do this or that unless given approval, etc.

Appreciate the reply , just wanting to know how does it take to have it serviced in NCC , as i'm going to send mine in too sad.gif
But still have to wait them to get stocks for the specific parts for replacement and then wait AGAIN..

Gosh , how long do i really need to wait to get to play with my n8 again cry.gif
At least another 2 weeks.

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

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...

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

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.

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