Regretted on its OS where Symbian is still slow and primitive. Nokia is stagnant...I have now switch to Samsung for good. LCD Screen is Brilliant and its capacitive ouh screen is responsive too!

my n8 died yesterday...
i was getting a lot of memory full errors on start up and i was lika having to rebbot the device 10 times a day bcs it can run anything. i installed netquin to see the apps running and even when nothing is open, running opera or a video would give me memory full error damn those 256mb! so i was sincing it last friday on ovi suite and it had an error i sucessfully unplugged the device, and it wouldnt do anything, so i rebooted, and the phone starts until it should get to the point to ask for the lock code, but its just the homescreen that is frozen shows time and date, but it cant do anything, this happened before, but if i woudl leave it, it would then ask for lock code and then say "memory full" (doesnt the ram clean itself after a reboot?) so my phone is dead..in addition to having the purple screen defect...
so my baby is going back to the carrier for an exchange of handset. wil elop killing symbian i have decided to go with android. i have a google acc with all of it integrated: youtube books maps etc and well im jumping on the bandwagon. ill take it to the carrier..theyll send it to the NCC so i can back my data, wait a bit, tell them that the screen is defective (i may even reconsider waiting), refresh my contrat to get the galaxy ace for free and ask for them to exchange my n8 for the sgs2 which will come in july (and its also the time i can renew my contract) the difference will only be like 50 euros... goodbye nokia! it was great, i had 500 apps installed most of them java 240*320 res less than 50kb in size.. im depressed by the lack of updates and high quality apps that symbian has, and add that the installation errors, the lags, and errors, yeah the camera is great, so is the hdmi and usbotg but sammy will offer that too..so until nokia makes a new n95 worth phone i will look to other manufacturers...

qwerty, 11 May 2011Do you know is it possible to change panels of nokia N8?@qwerty.
I'm not entirely sure what you mean by " panels ", so I'll assume you mean the aluminium ( aluminum if you're from the U.S.A. ) case. The answer is to visit a Nokia Care Centre and ask them, but the cost of that service would be prohibitive.
There isn't any third party solution to changing the case, as doing so would involve taking it apart and therefore invalidating the warranty.

AnonD-40, 11 May 2011Are you the developer of Brightness Control looking to cash in on this issue with that $1 app? XDlol, no I'm not
i suggested tnat app because there is no fee app in ovi that can disable the sensor and adjust the brightness.
That one is the cheapest.. if you can find any similar app for free it would be good but I couldn't.
Also what I like about the app is that it is not even running in backgroud.. it is installed as a feature...

I really hope you are right, and that peoples displays will not have a reduced life span from using the app.

Ray Hipkiss, 10 May 2011@N8. LCD screens can also suffer from burn-in. I've seen it in action more than once. ... morehi ray, so if increasing screen brightness reduces its life, does it follow that by decreasing the brightness increases the life of the screen? and can we quantify the percent reduction of the screen life? many thanks

It shows the defect on the N8 and compares the screen to a defect free AMOLED screen of the Samsung Omnia. The defect is not exclusive to the N8's analog clock.

I understand your point, but try to understand mine too..
I say that if you install this app, you disable the light sensor.
So, then you increase the brightness up to 75 or 80 %.
It clears out most of the purple tint and it also will not affect the screen's life span, because it is just 75% and it is far from the maximum level.
Therefore, this is a great way to hide your purple tint without risking your screen's health...
Therefore, until Nokia come up with a proper and easy solution, this is just a good way to enjoy your N8's screen without seeing the majority of the tint...
Thank You...
