Sometime you can really get 2300-2500kbps using Maxis but avg ~ 1400kbps & sometime can be slow too ~ 400-800kbps

You will be suprise if I tell you Watching those korean tv series on livce streaming website which is super slow esp hosted via todou or even vikii even you are on 5mbps UNIFI can sometime no lagging using Maxcis 3G,, rclxms.gif  Too bad I can't use Maxis too long on streaming ..otherwise breached my monthly limit very soon  sad.gif

AFAIK, it won't reach fully 100%. Not sure about N8, but for N900, they're using current mah /maximum mah. It won't reach 100%, the highest I experience is 98%, then it will cut off from charging. If you remove the charger straight away the moment it's fully charge, this maximum charge will not drop fast. If you leave it the charger on, there's actually cut off. So when you remove the charger off later, altough you may see 97% or 98%, you will notice this % drops very fast until around 80%++ which will drop as normal.
These are what I've monitored from the N900.
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.

they saying the picture problem is lame.. just transfer the photo to PC have a look they know that is not the picture problem... lame....

Yup, but I also didn't do enough preparation for them to compare as I formatted the device when I send in, those picture I took under low light is not there. Those picture show up perfectly FINE in PC or the N900, but on N8, it looks bad.

Anyway, here's a sample, although quite hard to capture and see it when capture from camera, hard to get the what you see is what you get result on camera.

When taken with lower EV or Exposure, will see this problem...

I think usually they can get it done within 5 working days, unless there is other circumstances like they need to verify the problem, go through some procedures, approvals, etc.
Last time, I don't remember there is NCC, I can walk in Nokia Shop, they have service centre behind it, just pass to them and they will fix it usually on the same day if they have the parts, etc. The process was much quicker and I don't remember having to take numbers, etc.
Seems now like being more professional but more levels and steps for customers, most probably for working procedure as well, more procedures, more levels need to pass through, approvals, etc? Not sure, but for office working, usually this is what happens, more levels, more restrictions, more reports, the same job will become totally different.

if there is not short of part problem or documentation problem... almost all the problem can be done within 2-3 hours..

u know assembling a phone didn't take that much long of time.. and... NCC do not do component level...

what happen to ur phone?



QUOTE(Andy214 @ Nov 3 2010, 12:13 AM)
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.

True, it should be very fast; Previously, I change the 6260 display within few hours; That time it's under Nokia Shop, behind is the service centre; No need to take number or wait long, the procedure and step is very simple.

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

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.

The weird thing is... it's working perfectly FINE under daylight condition (or proper lightings?). This is what I'm curious about.

When we go in room/lowlight, the display supposedly will brighten up right? I think this is when the problem become obvious. I'm not sure what's wrong really, but suspecting the brightness.
I don't think that will be a good idea. Nokia knows about this issue as I've informed them about it. Let them check on it first. I'm also trying to find out more information and samples/comparisons/etc to show to them hopefully.

u get it the other way round..

ur explain make me feel like ur ambient light sensor sending signal to the system.. and the system do not control the display correctly...

when u go into darker place.. ur display should be dim down.. not brighter...

You're right; When i cover the light sensor, it dims down. That's why I'm wondering why it dims down. I got it the other way round already, when it's dark, it should dim down instead of brightens up. I also tried flashing flash light on the sensor, the display brightens up.

But, here's another weird thing. In room lighting, if I cover the light sensor and the display dims down, the problem is less obvious.  hmm.gif
Headache...  rclxub.gif

That is correct. Outside, u cover the sensor, screen from 100% to 0%, easy to notice. In room, u cover, it from 50% to 0%, less obvious.

Bro,

TN panel are 6 bit while PVA, IPS are 8bit.

And there are some mind games with them. TN panel (from last 2-3years till now) has been able to display up to 16.2m colors liao with some tricks from manufacturers. 8 bit panel are still better with 16.7m colors. So there you go, thats why nowadays nobody compares them anymore because they are both marketed as 16m color.

sorry.. can't remember correctly... biggrin.gif

have a choice I will definately go for IPS panel instead of TN... laugh.gif

how's ur N8 doing? flawlessly?? or still prefer legend.?
