Wow. Seriously?

[nguyendqh]

I just thought this was worth sharing.
I own an MT4G. In my year of having it I have gone through 6 replacements.
None with the SO Type 2 Panel.

Tonight (actually 10 minutes ago) I just got back from buying my wife an MT4G.
It has a cracked digitizer but otherwise works just fine.
The touch screen is still responsive in every corner and every side.
Even where it's cracked. I got this phone for 30 bucks. 30....

My wife now has a MT4G with a superior screen. SO Type 2.

FML!

P.S. She won't switch with me even though she doesn't see the difference.
She just knows that I want it, she has it, I don't have it and that's the way she likes it.

Women are evil like that. Vaginas need to come with disclaimers.

Haha indeed.

Lol dude that's funny.

Just buy a new digitizer to replace that broken one. Then fix your wife's phone.

Then do the magical switcharoo. She won't tell the difference, lol.

Yeah I'm trying to find one now for it. Been watching some videos trying to get a handle on it.

How do you know if you have the superior screen?

 

[nguyendqh]

How do you know if you have the superior screen?

There's a thread under "General" that shows you how to find out.
A rooted way and an unrooted way.
Search "bad display" in the "General" forum.

Are you rooted or unrooted?

 

[Metaleckz]

Rooted . Ill look into it

 

[nguyendqh]

Rooted . Ill look into it

All you gotta do is turn off the phone (make sure fastboot is off)
then boot in to bootloader.
Hold volume down and press the power button. Hold it until you see the bootloader screen.
Go down to system info and look for something along the lines of SH-C2 or SO-C2.
SO is superior, SH is not.

Good luck.

I got the lcd so c2 lol now I know mine is good

Awesome. But wait til you see the difference then you'll REALLY know.
I swear even with a broken digitizer on my wife's phone my phone can't even compare.

My lady would do the same exact thing.

i have the SH version, honestly i cant see anything wrong with my screen. iv compared it to other android phones and it is brighter and more defined, (evo g2, varius others) so idk maybe i need to really compare the two, btw my lady would trade with me

Saturation? Color? Contrast?

 

[ayamjago]

30 bucks... can it be any cheaper?

 

[Infrared28]

The screen is just seriously washed out in comparison. I don't want to use any terms incorrectly, so im just gonna keep it at that.

I went through several bad screens before getting a good one, and wife still has the bad one. I was checking out my friend's Sensation and immediately noticed that he has the bad screen. Apparently HTC is still shipping both screens even on their latest models. Will definitely be cautious if I go with another HTC phone after this.

 

[Skipjacks]

I'm expecting my 2nd MT to arrive tomorrow.

If I haven't seen the bad screen, would I even know something is off? Like if my first phone had a bad screen and the new one does to, would I even guess that there's a problem?

I mean do you have to see a good and bad one side by side to know the difference?

Or is it like watching HDTV for years then trying to watch a show on an old 1920's black and white?
