"Washed out" colors have been fixed

[Crisisx1]

So I just got a second nexus 4 in the mail today...but this one came from T-Mobile ...got it for free with the special they had...

But the first thing I noticed when I turned it on ...the colors were very nice. They are no where near as bad as when i got my first nexus 4 directly from Google...

And another surprise to me was there was no T-Mobile crap loaded on it even tho one of the reps told me there was going to be ...

good news. What's the hardware revision? Any other discernible differences?

can you boot in your bootloader and write here what hardware revision you have?

I just got my N4, the colors are vibrant and beautiful. You might think that I just don't know what I'm talking about, and but I own devices with washed out displays. My Nexus 7 is one of them.

Got mine today and it looks really good. Almost no bleed at full brightness all black.

Mines a rev 11. (From Google)

could someone type this in the terminal on the n4 -> su (press enter) -> dmesg | grep lcd
but you must reboot before doing this.
it should put out a line where it says lcd_id: primary or so. could someone post whats stays there like primary?

All Nexus 4's will be pure Google phones. No aftermarket bloatware will be found in a N4 from Google or N4 from T-Mobile. :good:

Looks like you missed out typing 'su <enter>' before typing the dmesg command.

I bet you are used to Samsung Smiled displays..

My nexus 7 looks amazing.. Not washed out at all.

A sudden fix is not likely but not impossible. Would one of you please go to
Settings/About Phone, scroll to the bottom and take a screenshot (power button and vol-)?

I'm interested in the Kernel Version and Build Date.
I wonder if they are different than the ones of the latest 4.2.2 release.

The highlight of my day was when my life long Apple user borrowed my phone to check a sports score and said man this this feels so sexy and is fast as hell. The screen is nice. In using trinity and custom gamma.

Hi

After going back to stock 4.2.2 using the factory images and clearing everything before installing the images I noticed the LCD colours have changed completely. The more washed out look I was used to is replaced by a much richer display, matching the HTC One X now, although not quite as overly saturated as the One X which is a bit too saturated.

My phone is from November and I was very familiar with the more washed out look, and I just assumed it was fixed in 4.2.2 that I see now.

Perhaps the new settings can only be picked by a complete wipe and install, hence phones shipping with 4.2.2 look better as they are a clean install, whereas maybe an OTA isn't changing the calibration settings.

Regards

Phil

Kind off topic , but im thinking about ourchasing from the play store and continuing using tmobile. Will the insurance and warranty work the same as if in had purchased from them directly? I jist dont want to overspend If I dont have to.
