Negative black issue with screen

The negative black issue was very pronounced on my first generation iPhone... and I'm also noticing it on my new one, but to a lesser degree. Anybody else seeing this?
www.appleservedup.com has a screen test to test for the negative black issue.

Yep, that's what my screen looks like. Makes it very difficult to watch video with lots of dark colors. I had this problem on my first iPhone, and was hoping it'd be resolved on the new 3G, but nope
If you have a chance, do the screen test at appleservedup.com. The color in the boxes should be significantly lighter than the black background. If not, you probably have the negative black issue.

A positive thread: Who all has NO SYMPTOMS of the "negative" black issue?

I ordered a refurb'ed iPhone 8GB on Monday, and it is slated to arrive this Friday.
I have been reading the forums and have noticed that some users are complaining of "negative" black lcd issues. This makes me nervous about my iPhone that is coming to me.
I'm curious as to how widespread this problem is. Is it just a small fraction of the iPhone's that are affected?
So, what I want to know is: How many owners have absolutely no "negative black" issues with their phone?
This is a thread for POSITIVE feedback about the iPhone! Tell me about your perfect iPhone!

OK, I have to totally revoke my post! lol! After reading your post, I actually went and checked... and the blacks ARE negative! Wow... lol Now Im upset. I guess youre worries were more justified than I had thought.

HAS ANYONE HAD ISSUES WITH SCREEN CRACKING FOR NO REASON???

HAS ANYONE HAD ISSUES WITH THE SCREEN CRACKING ON ITS OWN???

Good Suggestion Tiki And my suggestion try to keep your Device from getting to Hot, Protect it as well as you can, if your going to Pocket it Make sure it has allot of free space around it..

Will I have Issues with Screen if Connected to PC for long periods?

I picked up a new 80g ipod to replace my old 20g gen 2, and I want to use it at work to play music through my computer. I am concerned about the Do Not Disconnect message with the flashing icon being displayed for 10 hours at a time every day. Am I going to get any characters or images burned on the display? I didn't think LCD's were subject to burning, but seems that some folks out there have had some issues.
Many thanks,
Ken

2 X-Mas iPhones show negative black on the screen. What to do?

It's been a long time coming, but I finally got an iPhone! I was so excited until I watched my first video and saw that the screen was not as good as I expected. Anything black lost all detail and seemed to glow. After looking around a bunch I've seen that this is a slightly common issue. I've seen many screen shots of iPhones vs. iPod Touches with this problem, and all I can say is my iPhone looks like the iPod Touch. So, after having the iPhone purchased in California, I brought it back to my local Apple store in Soho. Well, sure enough, the new one is just the same? What should I do? I don't want to swap it out if another one will be just like this one, but I've waited so long, and this is a big issue to me. My black and white photos in my photo library look like crap too! Did anyone get a new iPhone with this issue, does it bother you? Have you had it fixed or replaced with a unit that looks good?
Cheers!

I was hoping the 1.1.3 patch would help. But it didn't. I am in the same boat as you. I had one replaced only to have the same problem. I know 5 people with iphones. Mine is the only one with the problem. They all got them for Christmas from the same store. I lost the iphone screen lottery. The apple store said come back in a week or so and try again.

Pixel Issue With Screen

I've had my iPod video for less than 90 days. I purchased it through a local Best Buy retail store. Just a few weeks ago, I noticed that there is a discolored pixel on my screen. It shows up primarily when the screen is black (i.e: when loading videos, playing games, etc.) The pixel is red consistently and does not change color with the rest of the screen.
I know this seems like a trivial issue. However, having the iPod for less than 90 days, something like this really shouldn't have occurred in the first place. The iPod is not damaged in any way. It works perfectly fine, otherwise.
I'm wondering if anybody else has had this problem with their iPod video or if anybody has any recommendation as to what I should do about it.
Thanks. :]

I've been to that page multiple times. But, I'm always unclear of what's going to happen to my iPod in the repair process once I send it off (i.e: all my mp3's being deleted, my whole iPod being reset, etc.).
I've read the legalities and it seems like there's so many strings attached. That's why I was wondering if there's anything that I can do myself to fix it so that I don't have to send it off or if I could just take it to an Apple Store.
Any other suggestions?

TP Yoga numerous issues with screen and digitizer

Hello
Summary:
I bought a 20CD0001IV about two months ago (Demopool). I need it for work and drawing, but so far I have numerous issues. And right now I'm kinda lost: What should I do? Send a support question to lenovo/IBM EC? Contact my retailer? Are these common problems? I'm also not sure about my warranty. The Lenovo Solution Center says, I still have warranty. The different parts of the website say different things. I'll assume worst case: My warranty is likely expired.
I tried:
Fresh Installation Windows 8.1, newest drivers, newest Wacom drivers. Tried different settings. Calibration, Pressure Curves, all the stuff. Have 3 different Pens. Searched google, searches this forum...
Problems:
Massive Ghosting, I know, there is a solution on the forum. It says to replace the old screen with a newer model, but is this possible if the warranty is expired?
Calibration is a mess! The digitizer point wobbles under the pen, this is most obvious near the screen border, where straight lines turn into curves. But it's also an issue in the middle of the screen. In some places the cursor is 2mm top left of the actual pen tip, in other places it's bottom right UNDER the pen. I tried all kinds of calibration already... I know about a "dead spot" issue, but this was fixed with a firmware update and my issue is all over the place, not just one spot.
The screen is not very solid. Even medium pressure with the pen leads to dark and light display glitches near the tip.
Pen pressure "clipping". The 100%-Pressure is reached waaaay too quickly when I actually press with medium force. This leads to a very screwed pressure curve, where drawing lighlty or drawing medium is a lot harder, because there is not much scope. Basically, I draw with 100% Pressure 90% of the time. 100% should only be reached when I press intentionally hard.... I tried this with different pens, it's not an issue of the pen. (This is also not the first wacom device I use, so I can compare... I'm not just heavy handed...). The wacom settings themselves are not of real use, they only influence to curve from 0 to 100, but can't move the 100%-Point itself (maybe someone has a better understanding of the wacom settings and knows how to do it)
Edit: ...The ThinkPad Logo just came off, too o_O
To be honest, this is terrible quality for a lot of money. I could live with one or two issues, but this is almost unusable. I wonder if those are common problems and all Yogas have a screen like this. I had a Samsung Slate before and the screen was like solid glass and did not dent at all and I never had so many problems at once.
I don't expect solutions for those problems. But I hope that someone can point me into the right direction like "Yeah, this is a known hardware thing, read this...". If someone knows a good tool to troubleshoot/analyse Wacom Input let me know (I only tried the Pressure Curve Tool).
Is there any hope at all if my warranty is really expired?

I did some more testing with the maximum pressure issue. And it might be related to the pressure level of pens. As far as I know the Yoga supports 1024 levels. I have a new Wacom PL-900 and it has only 512, and the pressure problem is strongest. It is the same with the original Yoga pen, I'd say - even though this should have 1024 levels? But with an old Samsung Series 7 pen I need to press harder to reach 100% pressure - although it is still not really "hard". I'm not entirely sure how many pressure levels the Samsung Slate pen has, thought it was 510, but have seen some reviews mentioning 1024...
Anyway, I posted this issue in the wacom forums.

Issue with Screen Resolution-All is enlarged

Cheers to all
SInce yesterday all was ok with my 13" mb
When I turned it on today , I found all screen enlarged and a strange fuzzy effect on the fonts!
I didn't change anything in System Preferences/Display
If i try to change manually the screen resolution , all is enlarged once again but there's 2 blue boundaries whit every setting , except 1280x800.
In Colors i have : Million , and the brightness fader is all up
Hope you can help me solve this fastidious issue , and excuse me for my english

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
If the image on your screen appears too large, the zoom option might been turned on in System Preferences.
To turn off zoom:
1. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Universal Access.
2. Click Seeing.
3. Click the Off button under Zoom.

Issue with screen resolution

Hi,
I need my VI to run on different screen resolutions.
But the problem is that when the resolution changes the controls get distorted and i have to restart the applicaiton to bring the screen to origional form.
I need to resize the controls according to the window size so i have checked the option to "scale objects while resizing".
I think this is why the controls get distorted besause of resizing.
Is there any solution if want to keep both options for resizing and adjusting the screen for different resolutions.
Regards
Gagan

When you resize a VI automatically, the original size is not cached, thus changes are permanent. If you resize again, the changes start from the changed values, not the original values. Factor in the some integer roundoff issues and you have your problem. In addition, different versions of LabVIEW have varying degrees of distortion as you change the screen size and system controls have limits on how they can change their size. The only way to guarantee nice looking, scaleable panels is to do it all yourself programmatically (change location, size, and font sizes). This is tedious, but straightforward, and you should only have to do it once. It is made more difficult by the fact that there is no standard way to change the size of a control. Use the event structure to determine when your panel has been resized. Use the Defer Panel Updates property to speed the process. In addition, you probably want to throttle the events so you don't get behind in processing them. The easiest way to do this is to compare the new size reported by the Panel Resize event with the value from a property node which reads the panel size. If they are equal, process the event. If they are not, do nothing. The last event will always be processed because the sizes will be the same.
Good luck! Let us know if you run into difficulties.

10.4.6 Issues with screen saver security and Finder Inspector dialog

Now that I've updated my system to 10.4.6, I no longer have password protection on my screen saver. I also can no longer right-click, select Inspector, and lock multiple files at once.
I can open Inspector and lock multiple files using the key command with no problem. It's just when I try to right-click that doesn't work. Inspector comes up, but it's available only for the entire disk -- it does not show multiple files. And a lock box to check doesn't exist anywhere in the dialogue box. Note that this is only a problem with files on my slave partition. My master drive is OK.
Anyone else have these issues?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Sometimes if preference files are corrupt an update will simply reinforce their being corrupt. Try resetting them from the program that activates them. The password screen saver is in Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Security mentioned in:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303548
As for the inspector, I don't know where that is controlled, but maybe someone else here will know.

Issue with screen

I have a 3gs and the screen no longer dims when the phone is put up to my ear. This causes a good amount of problems when I'm trying to talk on the phone. If this is in the wrong spot sorry but any help would be great.
Thanks

I should also note it wasn't long ago that I put a new screen in. Anyone have an idea of which cable 1,2, or 3 deals with this issue so I can make sure its seated good.

Inverse black problem with screen

Hello group. I have a 3rd generation nano. I am having a problem with the screen. The left third of the LCD is fine, the remaining shows the graphics in inverse mode. I have tried to restore the iPod but this does not solve the problem (nor does the reset). The software is current and I was not able to find a solution via Google.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
p.s. If I play a video for long enough the entire screen will go back to normal. However, when I turn the iPod off and then return to it later, it will go bace to the inverse black problem.

Just wondered if you got this resolved? My son's 3rd gen nano has a partially corrupted screen (mostly bottom left third) come up frequently. Have tried multiple resets and a restore to no avail.

OPM 10.3 - Conversion Issue with Screens from 10.2

Hello All,
We upgraded one of our rulebases to 10.3 today.
On build and debug, our summary screen seemed out of order
In reviewing the screen, it seems that the screen items have been sorted, with the labels at the top and the goals at the bottom.
The other screens appear to be fine.
Any thoughts?
Cheers,
Allan

Hi Gibson
I think u can try this...although its not exactly the same issue we had but somewhat similar...compatibility issue...
On OPM v10.3 u create new project...add all the files from the project folder u had created on version 10.2 to the new project u have created on 10.3...all the files...word files, excel sheets, properties files, screen files etc...now u try to build and run the new project...it worked for us...if u have done any changes to the appearances of the screens with html or css then copy all the files from folders under this folder C:\projects\<ur project name>\Release\web-determinations\WEB-INF of the project created in the 10.2 to the same folders under the same directory of the project u have created on 10.3...I hope this will help
Cheers and Regards

Latest Firmware Update Issues with Screen Sensitivity

Hi All,
I synced my original iphone a few days ago and it required a firmware update. Since then, I have had numerous problems with the touchscreen for email and texting. Sometimes, I cannot open a folder on one of my emails or send a text because hitting the "send" icon does nothing. I've restarted my phone and reset it but have not yet tried a restore. Had anyone else had these issues?
And do you have any other suggestions I should try before doing a restore? Many thanks.
Kathy

Do not know about its compatibility and functionality.. but if you are OK with Beta softwares.. you may have a look at..
