This is what i found on the NOKIA DISCUSSION FORUM.
'1. Nokia have acknowledged the problem and have issued a service bulletin on 17.02.2011 outlining how NCPs should deal with it.
2. The problem is caused by a defect in the display from the manufacturer. Unconfirmed information is that the cause is within the display driver written on a chip which is physically embedded in the screen. The driver cannot be overwritten and the chip cannot be replaced on its own.
3. The only way to fix the problem is to replace the screen with a non-faulty one.
The defect cannot be resolved by any software edits/patches/mods/updates.
You need to keep checking with your local Nokia Care Point.'
So we'll have to wait till the non-faulty screens arrive at Nokia Care and then get the screens changed under warranty.
THIS IS THE ONLY SOLUTION TO THE PURPLE SCREEN PROBLEM.
I will keep you guys informed here, i'll be visiting a center tomo.

It's not getting any worse. For me, I'm satisfied with what I bought and really unaffected on this issue as it's really not easily seen. If it is a hardware issue, then how can a simple application like light control fix it? In my opinion, Nokia has tweaked some brightness settings and can be easily fixed with some update. Let's just wait and see what happens as some users are already stepping up regarding this issue. AMOLED problem or not, I've no regrets. Frankly, I think buying a samsung wave over this phone would be more regretful. who agrees?

They'll just say, "IT'S JUST NORMAL (then they're going to show you a brand new C7 with the same discoloration)" hahaha. lol. anyway, our friend maverick has a more detailed input regarding this issue a few weeks back..try to search for it. I'm crossing my fingers that pr 2.0 will have this issue fixed.

why, 31 Mar 2011where can i download that application..i'm really disappointed right now man....half of clock ... moresorry dude, I forgot what site I got mine..just try to google it, and I'm sure you'll get one. Btw, in the settings of that app, don't you try to change the primary screen light to OFF.. you'll regret doing that ( I did! Good thing auto start is not turned on, so I just turned off my unit) .
Setting the brightness on light control at 75 would be fine and shows no discoloration. I'm not using that app all the time though as it eats up battery faster. I just turn it on when watching movies, playing games, etc. Good luck again dude.
