Does anyone have these lines?


They can be seen only on white background, and appear only when phone is cold...
If I have the phone in my pocket, and take it out on cold weather, after a minute or so, the lines appear. The colder the weather, more/darker lines you have.

I have this problem too

I just noticed these for the first time. Mine doesn't seem to be cold related, though. Any guess on pther possible causes?

Yes, it's actually covered well throughout this thread, well worth a read from beginning to end.

I'm sorry. I read through a large chunk of it and only saw mention of the black "blobs", I'll give it a read.

I noticed the same effect on white background webpages (through the browser)...older phones had contact issues when these effects appeared.

I wonder if that is the case?

So this was the full email correspondence, after almost 7wks I'm done nudging the guy.
He's pretty much been totally ignoring me since my last response to him below, classy.

jalyst,

Thanks for the effort in pursuing said person!

Just to check did you contact him via the gmail address he gave you?

After awhile, I think we all just forgotten about the screen issue especially when Nokia showed lukewarm response to our queries, even the green tint issue raised by my original thread has gone "swept under the carpet" http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=81217 I guess we just had to live with it

I used a Nokia internal address, at the same time I guessed what his GMail address might be & cc'd it.
He got my email via his Nokia address, noticed that the Gmail address I used was wrong, & so he told me his correct GMail address.
From that point onwards I used his Nokia internal address & cc'd his (correct) GMail address...
