Mogul screen? Is it my eyes?
 

Do this simple test... download a pure white background and view it at landscape fullscreen with your Mogul. Is your left side white and your right side slight yellow? I have seen this with all the Moguls I have come across. If you never noticed it then it does not bother you. But once you notice it its kinda terrible. Again you can do it at portrait mode too, at portrait view the white side is at the buttom and yellow side is at the top. Both color merge in seamlessly in the middle. Even my GF super bright white erfect Mogul has this analomy. Please do this test and find out cuz my peepers are hurting.

I dont see what you see but i noticed on my brand new (super custom delux WM6 tit-gul) does the strangest thing with Cleartype turned on:

Things that are white appear to flicker red, some text has an obvious red outline.

lol - i know how you feel, i sat there for 20 minutes wondering if it was me or if i just needed to cut down on the spinach :-)

tit-gul? what in gods name is that? You must download a blank white background then it becomes obviouse.

The screen issue again? Really? I'm gonna say it's your eyes since you are basically the only user that keeps finding issues with the screens of different devices.

common.. do that simple test. I found this anomaly on 4 other moguls including my GF perfect mogul. This test takes about 1 minute to do.

don't see it myself.

Mine's fine - don't see it with either MS Word or PhatPad with an empty screen.

If you want to post a white 320x240 jpg here, I'll look at it (not gonna take the time to find/create one myself).

Something similar happens to me but it's not what you've stated. If you display an all black page, for example, an idle (black) screen in TCPMP, the left side (in portrait mode) or the top side (in landscape) appears to be somewhat (obviously) faded. Nothing in destructive nature has occured with my phone and I have a Seidio hybrid case/holster.

willkor3.... I bet if yo do that test that I mention, u will see that im correct. you don't need a white background really. put the phone hone in lanscaped and go to you backlight slider setting page. Tha page is almost all blank. The really closely look athe the difference between left and right side. I think all moguls are like this. Just that we never really noticed it.

the world isn't perfect...... neither are electronics, If I was Sinnn, I would just get rid of my Mogul if im having that many problems. granted the phone has alot of problems... but I guess we will have to deal with it until further notice.

theres not a doubt in my mind, that one day sinnns gonna realize hes been wearing one defective contact in his eye for the past few months causing all the flickering and now color shifting on ever device he's looked at.............

Well.. this my first PDA with soo many strange screen issues really. But I think we all have this one issue. Hey, im just pointing out something this incase anyone needs ammo for excuses to tell Sprint.

Common, just do the test. Go online with your mogul and google "white background". Save it and then onpen it and thats it. You will be surprised that your is just like mines. Or is everyone color blind? Whens the last time you all went to see a eye doctor? hmmm.

well not sure about the white/yellow thing, but the red shift is noticeable. One thing I do know is my Mogul (New) "Pocket PC" is not silkscreen underneath the screen, my coworkers is (bought when came out).

His screen is whiter (or bluer) than mine and the red shift (most easily seen either with cleartype or on pure gray (which has a red tinge) is not much there.

My first Mogul was much worse than this one, very noticeable. I also on both experience the flicker when the screen was pressed (the new rom fyi seems to have resolved the flicker).

As a comparison a Tilt I am trying and my old Samsung i730 do not exhibit these color issues. Boy I wish tilt was on Sprint, very nice phone except for weight.

Definitely some quality control issues. I recommend people get insurance, just in case.

No beanbag - it is the Sprint Screen Fade - go to the Word App and look at the blank screen - then click the ok button in the upper corner to close the window - if you are using the default Sprint Gold background, you will see a fade to yellow - this shows especially in the wide mode - it is not your eyes just the program - try changing the background to the windows default aqua in the Today setting under setings and you will see what I mean -

Yamatter of fact. the mogul was suppose to be the tilt.gps, auto focus. And yes, the nedw rom update did in fact fix the flickerin color change for me aswell. I was tight lipped about it cuz this problem came and went and came. But nowafter the rom update it is gone for sure. But the light strenght is still low. And now im trying to prove you all that all moguls have this anomaly of the left and right side of the screen. Its not all white.

Sinn, Your other thread about the backlight issue going all black on power save mode is a Mogul defect was spot on. I didn't know it was a defect and my mogul did that. After emailing eCare about this, they sent me a new Mogul. I thank you for the heads up but this new issue you are having I don't see it on both the mogul I have, the new one and the defective one which I haven't sent back yet. To get the white screen, I try to log onto IE and then kill the connection which leave the screen completely white. The screen looks white to me. I luv you bro. You're funny as hell but you need to stop looking too hard at your screen or you'll start to see a RING and you'll defintely be in trouble then. LOL

kova4, I made sure that was not the case. I am aware of the sprint color fade on some of the windows. That why I recomment all to use a pure white background and see it yourselfs. I have 4 moguls at my reach and did this test on all 4 and yes there is this weird light issue. But I never noticed it in the past, just once I did .. I saw it on al moguls. Even my local Sprint store demo mogul has this anamaly .....

I don't know why I even bothered to do this, but while the backlighting is not perfectly even, my Mogul is white to white on all sides (landscape and portrait). BTW, you can view a blank white screen by going into full screen mode and entering this web address "about:blank".

Ahhh yes. Thank you very much. You have proven that I have not lost my sanity with this Mogul. Some of these ppl here mock me, but deep inside i now whats going on. :)

jaak, thxs for trying it. I have tried it on 4 other moguls and I can see this color change. Maybe i am wrong and this is also not normal. Maybe theres a awful batch of mogul replacement in the west coast? ohh well..

I knew it would be a waste of time but I did the test and NO yellow!

How many days left till the Touch is out?

While you are right about that, if someone claims to go through like 5 devices and all have an issue there's either user error or something that is normal is being seen as an issue.

And just for the heck of it... I tried this and my screen is completely white on both portrait and landscape, so no issue here.

So since you have both of your moguls, can you put them side by side and see a big difference, like Sinnn was talking about in the other thread????


Let them mock away, even if you only help one person it's worth it.

I know I'm reluctant to give up my Original batch Mogul after all you've been through.

People like to razz each other but You proved your point with the pictures you posted previously, if you couldn't see the difference in those side by side pictures you have to be blind, or in denial.

Of course like Pibe38 said that "issue" of the screen was just the new "normal" Mogul with a different screen, and varying screens.
It's Just luck of the draw as to what you get, if you swap.

Post a white background, I couldn't see anything on mine with the white one I was using.

Ya, Primenall..... i work is done here. I manage to help one at least. Good luck to all.

BTW,,,, everytime i make a thread, someone keeps rating it a 1 star. What the hell?

OK, I did the white test and didn't see anything but wall-to-wall white. Well, plus that faint image of Henry Kissinger's face that's always there in the lower left of the screen. You guys all have that too, don't you?

You now, i took several pics with my digicam using low light setting, high ISO, low ISO, flash, no flash. I cannot capture the color chage. Its too faint. Damn...... Ohh well... one of you will see it eventually.

Titan-Mogul = Tit-Gul

So lets see, we have:

yellowy screen

flickering color

flickering backlight

-------------
WOW i cant believe i just saw those things in the white background! Isnt that the cast of the muppets in landscape mode? not sure i see Henry Kissinger's face :-/

The mogul is off to a splendid start!

Same dealio here...Mogul #5 and I said **** it, it's not worth bitching about anymore.

weeeeeeeeeee! we got screwed! yippppy!
