N9 Gorilla Glass - bad quality?

I have my N9 for more than a week now and I can see very small scratches on the gorilla glass. I use the phone with great care and never put it face down somewhere. I also have it in a pocket separated from other things such as keys or coins. I'm really disappointed about the quality because I have other Nokia devices with gorilla glass for more than a year and they don't have one single scratch. And I used them a lot and the same way I use the N9 now. I think the N9 gorilla glass is of very bad quality. Anyone else seeing like small spots and scratches on the N9?

Nope, not on mine. I got a few scratches on the display of E7, which I didn't know where come from. Could be grains of sand in my pocket or something like that.
If you think that your screen suffers from a fault, visit a Nokia care point and tell them about it, if you're lucky they might replace the screen, but gorilla glass can get scratches too, like any other screens. So most likely there aren't anything you can do other tha protect it even more carefully.

  • Gorilla Glass in Lumia 720 but not in 820 - how po...

    Nokia, how it is possible you used Gorilla Glass in Lumia 720, but higher model - Lumia 820 does not have it???
    Is this joke???
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Maybe check first what is under "Contact Us" link on Nokia support site????
    1. Facebook link - I do not use
    2. Twitter link - I do not use
    3. Link to this forum. So I came here directly from nokia support link on Nokia.com under support for lumia 820
    Did YOU read guidelines from link you posted??? I see not!
    So couple of quotes:
    "Here you can discuss Nokia products and Ovi services" - I wanted to discuss product, so this is correct forum!!! Was I expecting my screen will be replaced for gorilla??? No! Just wanted to discuss!!!
    For sure you did not see this point:
    "4. Show respect. Please ensure that all of your posts contribute to the supportive atmosphere of the board. "Flaming" or disrespecting other board users is not allowed. For more specific information on what Nokia considers disrespectful or inappropriate, see below. "
    You wrote @simply because the 820 is not associated with a 'gorilla' does not make it inferior to lower models@ - IT DOES. Gorilla is known as scratch resistant, tough glass. This place these screens much higher than others.
    Now, show me any OFFICIAL nokia statement that glass used in Lumia 820 is scratch resistant or is anyhow more resistant for damages than any other glass??? Somehow I cannot find official statement. So all other statements are rumours only.
    This is link to official Lumia 820 spec:
    http://www.nokia.com/ie-en/products/phone/lumia820/specifications/
    , somehow I do not see any statement that screen has improved resistance.
    "The forum team includes technical experts from Nokia, who monitor their respective areas on the forum. Their main task is to make sure that the right people at Nokia know what is discussed here, but they may also participate in the discussions and publish information from Nokia about the issues discussed here. They are labelled as "Technical Experts" and bear a Nokia logo."
    So not only user-to-user but also user-to-nokia experts that are able to place official statements and explanations!!!
    You should watch your mouth before placing these kind of statements @another whiner. having limited knowledge can be a bad thing. having no knowledge at all can be embarrassing.@.
    Pretending you are smart doesn't make you smart at all. It is only your imagination.

  • Gorilla Glass on iPhone 4

    Hi everyone!
    I have the iPhone 4 with an ifrogs alum case, and a ZAGG invisible shield (military spec) protection for the Gorilla glass. This glass protector is good for protection but no feel. The screen feels "rubbery" and when iPhone is off has an orange peel like "haze", similar to a painted surface of a car, only clear.
    I want the feel and graphic quality of the glass back. However I also work in a very hot shop and it resided in my pants front pocket facing my thigh. Will sweat (salts) break down Gorilla glass (etching)?
    Should I keep the protection on the glass? The case is staying that makes sense due to the rear glass being standard temper.
    I really want the phone in the case and the feel of the Gorilla glass and sharpness of the display.
    Can I take the "rubbery" shield off?!
    Thoughts?...

    I am with you Jeff! I work as an electrician so I can work in a pretty industrial environment to the office so I like the option of protecting it. I was keeping an eye open here on the forum to see how the glass holds up. In the first day I didn't have a case I put a very small scratch on the back of it but you have to shine it in the sun just right to see it. Plus the back is black so it stands out more when you shine it in the sun. Can't see it by just looking at the phone. I have a little OCD too so that doesn't help. ; )

    my iPhone5's display,Corning Gorilla Glass, oleophobic coating, was broken/web cracked. Where can I avail a repair? I live in the Philippines.

    Thank you. I will have to sell it on Ebay and hopefully get some money for it I'm so sad about it. I hate losing money like that.
    It actually seemed fine in the fist 2 weeks, but this image retention problem seems to have got worse and worse in time. I can now barely do anything for more than a couple of minutes and it's burnt in. And I can see it now if I play a movie. Luckily it goes after a few minutes more.
    My main problem is the dirty look though, and I didn't notice that until a month or so after I bought the screen. Some things really bring out the worst of it, and most of the time it isn't noticeable. But if I'm playing a game that looks bad on the screen, the entire time I am playing that game will look bad.
    Oh well

  • Gorilla Glass is worthless

    My Lumia 920 is a month old.  It fell out of my coat pocket just 2 feet off the ground and shattered the glass.  I had a Samsung Captivate with Gorilla Glass for two years.  It probably fell to the ground 30 times and never even scratched.  I saw the videos online of the guy running over the 920 with his car, batting it with a 2x4, dropping it multiple times from various heights, and even bashing it with a hammer.  I think mine was defective.  AT&T and Nokia say - too bad so sad. Got quotes of $130 - $300 to repair. I will try the $130 first.

    I had my Nokia 928 less than a month after switching from a HTC phone, and it slipped from my hand and hit the ground on the bottom right hand corner. The screen immediately cracked halfway up the display and a piece of the screen was lost. I was understandably dismayed that the "unbreakable" gorilla glass had shattered so easily after my HTC withstood 10 times more impact than that during the 2 years that I used it. The screen still worked, so I continued to use it while I decided whether or not it was worth paying $100 in addition to the monthly insuance fee to replace it. I literally sat it down on my desk at work, and the screen cracked all the way up. I might mention that the actual casing of the phone never sustained a scratch, crack, or damage of any kind. Only the gorllia glass. What does that tell you?? 
    I am sure that I will NEVER buy a Nokia again, and I will not replace my Nokia, but instead go back to my HTC that worked flawlessly for two years. Never again. 

  • ACNS 5.5 / Troubleshooting bad quality VIDEO (MMS-over-http)

    Hello community,
    For an unexplanable reason I have to deal with an ACNS problem which is not my domain at all ! ACNS 5.5.15 is on a WAE-512-K9 working with CDM.
    Please can someone advice me on how to start the basic troubleshooting steps on the following issue :
    ============================
    - Users in Sydney are complaining of bad quality when they watch a video from an Intranet server in Frankfurt.
    Video flow has bad quality (buffering ..) and/or stops before the end of the video.
    - Users browsers are configured to use the WAE as local proxy on ports 3129 (.pac file). Requested Video on the intranet is in the Windows Media format and flows are MMS-over-http.
    - No multicast distribution is used, neither content pre-positioning.
    ============================
    We did a wireshark trace on the user PC watching a video which ends up unexpectidely with error code 500 => We follow the TCP stream, Time/Sequence graph is linear until ACNS sent [PSH,ACK] tcp flags to the user PC. Then PC answers with [FIN, ACK] etc...and the stream ends.
    I have checked the show-tech (i have attached some commands from the sh tech)  especially TCP statistics but I do not if the values are normal or not.
    I am thinkink to open a TAC case but before contacting Cisco I prefer to try some basic tests if they can help.
    Any recommendation on how to start a troubleshoot or any advice would be gretly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi Defcom,
    Thanks for the quick reply. I have tried changing and resetting the bandwidth limits at both ends last week at both ends but no joy!
    I am going to try the solution on the Gerry's link above later but have to wait for my brother to be free as he has an airport as well(had a baby yesterday (hence why we are setting this up)).

  • Bad quality preview via HDMI

    Hello together!
    After searching for days in the www and on this board I hope somebody here knows a solution for this problem:
    Im looking for a quality solution to preview the program monitor as a full screen picture on my Panasonic HD-Ready TV. I got it running, but there is a really strange quality problem:
    When I just use the TV as a second Windows display and I move the program monitor onto it (no full screen but at 100% display level) the preview looks nice but I can not see the complete picture, because 1280x720 plus the program monitor itself is too big for my screen When I change the display size of the program monitor to something lower than 100% the scaling looks very bad higher than 100% no problem with scaling.
    So this is my problem:
    When I switch it in the playback settings to playback on extern monitor to view it full screen there is a problem. Diagonal lines get a bad looking aliasing. My idea was that CS3 is scaling something (and this does the program not as good as I tried the preview with trailversions of Edius5 or Vegas8c). Just at 100% CS3 preview looks nice (the same when I just watch the program monitor on the Notebook display).
    My Nvidia Card is set to HDMI 720p output. The TV says it is a 720p signal what is coming form my HDMI cable, and last but not least my footage is also filmed in 720p60 (Sony Ex1) and I used the 720p60 EX1 setting in CS3.
    So again, when I just watch these clips for example with the Sony clip browser on my TV (also form this Notebook via the same HDMI output) the diagonal lines start not to flicker and are displayed very sharp. So it cant be the graphic card, the TV or the footage at my knowledge.
    So why does CS3 scale there something in the full screen preview although from input to output everything is in 720p? Furthermore why is the scale in such a bad quality (Edius does this perfect so maybe I have just a wrong setting somewhere in my CS3 settings). Is CS3 not using the graphic card for scaling?
    My system:
    Asus V1S Notebook
    NVidia GeForce 8600M GT 512MB
    Duo T7500
    2GB Ram
    Windows Vista
    Hope somebody here is able to find a solution for this problem, because I dont want to buy an extra video board (like Axio) for it.
    Best wishes,
    Swen

    But often with these cards, you can not work in the CS3 normal nativ settings for Ex1 footage.
    At my knowldge when I would like to open a project which with a Blackmagic Card for example and I like to finish the editing on an other computer without that card you'll have a problem (because BM or other cards allway use their own presett window-right?). So you lose a lot of flexibilty by using a card or a third party codec like this. So it's not so future proof as just to work with the NLE Software itself.
    I see this now with my old Premiere 6.5 Projects. I used a Canopus Raptor RT2 for this with the Canopus codec. That worked very very well, but now I can't use this project anylonger on a new editing CS3 station, because it doens't support these Canopus transitions and codecs. Also the only Windows Notebook based output solution is the MotuV4 box... not a very cost effectiv solution for a preview.
    So again. There must be a sloution to get the problem with the diagonal lines fixed. Why does CS3 scale the preview when 720p footage should be displayed over a 720p output onto a 720p Monitor? No need for scaling? Or am I wrong with this?

  • Is there a gorilla glass 2 on macbook pro retina display?

    hi there,
    like a month ago i bought a Macbook pro Retina, and I have been asking myself or there is a gorilla glass 2 on macbook pro retina display?
    cheers,
    Joseph

    The plastic of the LCD is surprising tough, there is no reason to coddle it. It resists touching and hand grease very well. Light abrasion is not a problem. Avoid using solvent based cleaners such as alcohol as they will attack the surface if not wiped off immediately.
    Remember the life expectancy of these machines is something like 8 years, by then it should be 100% depreciated. Use it up, wear it out.

  • Screen is slightly blurry / has bad quality

    I bought new Samsung 24" LCD monitor S24C300 and new video card Nvidia GT 630. Monitor is connected with DVI cable.
    Problem is that when I'm using native resolution 1920 x 1080, the screen is really small and I have to use the DPI setting thing to make screen bigger, but, when I apply the DPI settings, some programs come annoying blurry.
    At the resolution 1280 x 720 the screen is good size, but the text has slightly bad quality and is little blurry, so what to do?
    I have adjusted the monitors sharpness settings and I also have ClearType on, but that doesn't help.
    Could somebody help me with this issue? Thanks in advance!

    Please first install the latest drivers for video and moniotr.
    Some times a blurry screen can be caused by a poor cable, check with anothe if possible.
    You can also try other port to test this issue, like HDMI.

  • Bad quality after converting to PDF and direct emailing of form letters from MS Word

    Hello,
    when using the the "form letter" option (for creating personalized PDF files from form letters, that are then directly emailed as attachments via outlook) under the "Acrobat" add-in tab in MS Word I keep getting PDF documents with bad quality (e.g. a logo that is inserted in the document becomes very pixelated). When directly converting the same document to a PDF file using the "create PDF" option unter the "Acrobat" add-in tab in MS Word, I get a high quality pdf file with a perfectly smooth logo (very much the same as it looks in the original MS word document).
    Does anyone have an idea what causes the discrepancy in quality of the pdf files that are created via the two options "form letter" and "create PDF" in the "Acrobat" add-in for MS Word?
    Any help is highly appreciated,
    thank you,
    Hans

    Maybe I have not made myself clear in the first post. What I am trying to say is, that I keep getting bad quality PDFs (e.g. pixelated logos) when using the "form letter" option (blue box in the image above) but not when using the "create PDF" option (red box in the image above) from the Acrobat add-in in MS Word. Changing the settings for pdf conversion (green box in the image above) only affects PDFs created from the "create PDF" but not the "form letter" option.
    Does anyone know how to create high quality (e.g. high resolution) PDFs using the "form letter" option (blue box)?
    Best regards,
    Hans

  • Bad quality of web images X1 Carbon 2015

    All images (especially the small ones) and icons from internet and some applications have very bad quality as if they had very low resolution. For example, all avatars on Facebook look really bad, I can hardly recognize people. The same holds for all logos and banners with text images. I understand that the images get distorted because of extremely high resolution of the display (2560x1440) - by the way normal text and all Windows images have excellent clarity - however I can hardly beleive that a 2000 EUR machine is not able to provide appropriate image quality even for simle internet surfing! Is that a fact you have to accept when having 2560x1440 or is it somehow possible to get normal image quality? (Otherwise I'll return the laptop).

    Here is a screen shot of how it looks like when you open private modus in IE.
    At the top you see the blue block [InPrivate] in excellent quality and at the bottom you see how the same thing is displayed when it's an image. Actually both should look the same.

  • Bad quality pictures in dim light

    When I'm in dim light situations, (Bar) my pictures are grainy and really dark. When I used several of my friends iPhones to take additional pics, I noticed 1) the image on the screen before taking the picture is brighter. 2) the picture is is better quaility, more vibrant. My comparison was against 2 other iPhone 4S'. Also, when using my flash, the pics have a blue tint. I always assumed that this is because of the use of an LED as the flash. Compared to both my friends iPhones, theirs is more normal looking.
    Should I just take it into the Apple Store and let them deal with this?

    You answered your own question.  It's the low light.
    What is the solution to this issue?
    Are you using the flash?
    You might also want to try out an app called King Camera.  It allows a bit of control over exposure that might help.

  • When publishing characters get bad quality

    Hi!
    I'm trying to use Captivate 6 characters, but, when I watch the slides in the editing version, it's OK, when I try to preview or publish them, they get a very bad quality.
    Can you help me, please
    Thanks, Mariana

    Those characters are high quality images, with transparency. I suppose you are still on 6.0.1 and didn't change the default slide quality, which is set to low. That is the reason, finally the team listened to my begging and in 6.1. the default quality is set to Optimized. Try to change that quality, and if that doesn't solve the issue, uncheck all compression settings when publishing as well.

  • Is iPad Mini with Retina display screen a gorilla glass?

    Is iPad Mini with Retina display screen a gorilla glass?

    No it's definitely not gorilla glass... I don't know if it's even hardened glass. My iPad Mini's screen broke the other day with the slightest bump. When I submitted it to Apple to be fixed (I assumed it was weakened in production or something) they said it would cost $225 to replace it. So yeah, be very very very careful with your iPads... don't let your kids touch them or anything (buy them Kindle Fires). I'm going to attempt to fix my iPad Mini's screen myself (lest I cut myself). If that doesn't work I guess I'll have to move on to Android tablets with gorilla glass...

  • MiniDisplay Port (Thunderbolt MacbookPro) to DisplayPort Dell U2410m don't work! The signal only comes as YPbPr, no RGB and bad quality. Is there any solution?

    I want to connect my new MacBook Pro via DisplayPort to a Dell U2410m monitor.
    But the signal only comes as YPbPr, no RGB and bad quality. Is there any solution?
    It works with the mini display port to DVI adapter from Apple but I want to use the DisplayPort.

    J~
    cmelbourne91 was suggesting HDMI because many of the MDP/Thunderbolt to DVI adapters come with an additional DVI to HDMI (not Apple's) and you likely won't find any MDP to HDMI becuase of something weird with one of the Apple or HDMI related patents and the type of cable/jack/plug required for it.
    As for my computer (15" MBP mid 2010), it almost seems as if I have your problem but intermittently. When connected to an external monitor or projector, the thing will project just fine, but then after some time (and no movement of the computer, cables, or screen) the connection quits. Sometimes it comes back on, sometimes it does not, but it basically registers as if there is no external display.
    Any additional info on this?
