Guest littleone Posted September 14, 2003 Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 Have noticed that the screen on my SPV has a pattern of rainbow colours on it (quite faint but noticeable on white backgrounds, or if switched off) Seems ok otherwise, but should I get it looked at? Is it faulty? Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brody Posted September 14, 2003 Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 I think that this "oily" effect is actually quite common, i know that i have seen it on occasion but it doesn't really affect me too much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest littleone Posted September 14, 2003 Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 Thanks for that Brody. The effect is quite prominent on mine, but you dont think I should get it looked at then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brody Posted September 14, 2003 Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 Well it depends if it hinders your use of the phone, you'll have to use your judgement i reckon, my SPV had it but it didnt bother me. My e100 has a similar thing but is not an issue to me, maybe yours is worse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nickcornaglia Posted September 14, 2003 Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 On my SPV...it was noticable outdoors or when natural sunlight hit it at just the right angle. Not a problem most times though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest littleone Posted September 14, 2003 Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 Thanks for the info. I think I'll leave it and see how it goes, sounds like it's not uncommon. Its good to be able to share these things, long live the forum. Thanks again you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted September 14, 2003 Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 It can be caused by teperature changes on the screen, but it could be to do with the polarizing of the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fozzie Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 I think it is mainly temp. Some days I notice it on mine, other days I don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nytehawk2002 Posted October 22, 2003 Report Share Posted October 22, 2003 Rainbow Colors: Happens to my SPV all the time. Seems to be Temperature/Light related. Here's a cool trick. Try reading your SPV screen with Polarized sunglasses on. It turns purple and you can't see anything. Almost had a heart attack the other day when I went to use my phone and the screen was unusable.
