just reach home >< haiz..

saw irenic at directd while claim warranty to my faulty device, he is really good and friendly..

just a bit frustrated with the directd ppl who talk to me.. please la.. i already very sad to get a faulty device and travel so far to there, but he take out his iphone and another phone beside my gnex and say he spot nothing wrong with the device.. why don't you try to take another 'same' phone to compare leh >< the thing actually easier to spot when u use it after 1-2 hour and all of my fren keep asking me why your screen look like dirty one..

i just hope that directd handle my warranty properly and next time i can meet my gnex without any issue..

they send back to claim warrenty.. still dunno yet.. seem like need to wait about 3-4 days days without nexus

You always have my thanks bro!

I am ok to get my gnex late but just hope there is no such problem.. previously i always thought samoled HD will be a better screen but it's almost make me misunderstand how good is it until I saw phantomash phone ..

Anyways, thanks again

yea.. the best android apps that manage your phone ever! friendly interface, sms by pc, file i/o, app install, and so on.. and more impoartant!, it's free

from the graph can see the gnex's battery drop significantly when screen is on

people tend to compare weakness but not strength, they don't dare to compare how powerful gnex is but how weak compare to iOS, and the only thing they can threat android is the UI smoothness. and perhaps, no more.

perhaps ICS keyboard itself is the best
the only drawback is lack of 'enter' key

today i just get a replacement from irenic here have a thank to him, and suggest people can get their gnex from him

well, base on my observation, the banding line is quite common, as i consider a defect as the link i mention above. defect is still defect, doesn't mean common make it become not an issue.
there is some case, like my previous gnex or irenic gnex, it will have the vertical and horizontal banding on the pure white or pure grey color background.

phantomash's gnex seem doesn't contain any of it, and so my current one, but some time in certain brightness of your surrounding, you might notice some, but not practical. i can still see some, in very rare case, but just only vertical, no horizontal.
perhaps it is the eyes in certain brightness will adjust the pupil to see the banding. and irenic's gnex appear less after we change the location.


what brightness you are testing?
basically what i concern is the brightness about ( 25% - 90% ) more practical. less than 25% is too dim, more than 90% is too bright, eye pain
Low brightness bring the banding on white, higher brightness bring banding on grey.

may i know what firmware and kernel u r using?

if it is a screenshot, then for sure it is not screen problem. the screen banding issue only appear in view a picture in pure color but the output u see is not pure color but some vertical and horizontal banding..

give it some credit, amoled technology is still young. i'm glad because technology is growing.

i do frustrated when i get my gnex with screen banding issue.

let's try to talk about its advantage =)
at least, i found that amoled is really have a better contrasts, better look compare to lcd, the black color is really awesome. moreover, it can be see very clear under the sun while lcd you cant see anything.

i guess that's the drawback of mass production.

anyone experience this in root explorer?

it seem my gnex have screen problem again after reboot..
found 2 vertical lines of dead pixel/active pixel with green color appear in certain color at left side.. and it cannot be observed by using dead pixel test..
initially i tot it is s/w problem but after back to stock, it still there..
have to go warranty again when i'm free

besides, this phone is very easy to overheat and i'm just use it to view pdf file not enough 5 minutes.. anyone have same problem?

i'm sure this is not banding, it is appear green line when certain color.. example in the setting background, appear 2 green vertical line at left side..
i think previously don't have, it appear after i run out of battery and power on it..

the heat issue - on wifi, using adobe viewer to view pdf about 1 minute then the camera part and screen heat already..
