How do we check our TFT/OLED version now?

[Guest Ciels]

I've looked at the old methods and I can't seem to find any related model build under Cyanogen menus?

It seems near true that I've lucked out again and received another OLED replacement but I can't tell.

Any quick method?

If you just received a replacement, I highly doubt you have a OLED, all new OSFs are TFT now.

It saddens me that there are people likely going around with OLED blades who don't even know the difference, and wouldn't be able to tell just by looking at the screen.

If you can't tell the difference, why is it important to you? One is not inherently "better" than the other, IPS LCD and Pentile OLED both have advantages / disadvantages.

I had an OLED that I knew was definately OLED as I'd bought it a week after Orange started selling the handset.

The touchscreen went faulty and a couple of weeks ago Orange sent me a replacement.

I've run *983*0# from the dialer (I'm using SS R5) and I only get options to test LCD functionality so I'm pretty sure I've got an LCD now but I honestly can't tell the difference between it and my old OLED handset so I've either got an OLED and the *983*0# isn't telling me I have or it's an LCD and the difference between an OLED and LCD screens is tiny cos I can't see the difference.

I'm just happy I have a phone with a working touchscreen now :unsure:

It's subtle difference, we know mister.

I don't mind either one, but that isn't the point. I wouldn't be shocked if my phone wasn't oled.

I wish this method worked, it could be that GEN2 phones are more tricky :)

How can I find out if my display is TFT or OLED?

[Guest Azurren]

Before selling mine I double checked if it were OLED..

Had to flash the stock orange 2.1 via TPT :unsure:

A good quality LCD screen can look as nice as an OLED, but the ones used on the newer SFs are defiantly NOT good quality!

Not enough to put people off the device but OLED is better with the Blade

Although some users have the better type of LCD/TFT screen, I've seen one and it doesn't look that bad. My streaks screen is pretty good too, nice black levels and colours but sometimes miss the OLED

[Guest Roph]

My point was, there are people who have to ask "how" to find out whether or not their screen is OLED or TFT. They can't tell just by looking at it. Thus demonstrating that they don't really know about the technology, and it's most likely going to waste on them.

Im guessing the only reason people ask is because they want to sell it?

Because as you say its pretty pointless.. If you can't tell the difference just by looking at it why would you want to potentially disappoint yourself?

Any relevant ideas regarding the first post?

Good to know :unsure:

If you had a Orange UK type device you could use this TPT

http://android.modaco.com/content/zte-blad...-2011-oled-tft/

Then run the dialler code to tell your version

I'm a bit out of date here, some newer models can't flash this. Use at your own risk

Or you could use the "eye" test. Turn the brightness right down and look at white colours for the "pink" tint

Turn the brightness up max in a pitch black room, look at a black colour and see if any light is coming from the device (should be close to 0 as there is no back-light)

This is the correct dialler code: *983*24474636#

Any glass type except "Samsung" is LCD/TFT

This had to be done by swedish spring rom for me because of the GEN2 problem.

"SAMSUNG 4G NAND" very well suggests that I have another OLED. I knew I wasn't going crazy when I didn't see a change. Thanks.

Here's my thoughts again:

Now I won't care until I get a TFT phone, don't think i'll waste this one. :unsure:
