Official 8.1.1 Update - fix display issue?

[Willyman]

Can someone confirm who

• had the screen brighness uniformity issue
• has updated to the latest firmware
• has updated the display app to it's latest version

... no brightness uniformity issues?

I've updated to the latest firmware and the purple tint has greatly improved, but have not updated the display app as that made the brightness uniformity WORSE in the past.

I've updated to the latest firmware and the purple tint has greatly improved, but have not updated the display app as that made the brightness uniformity WORSE in the past.

I had purple tint and light bleed (when using latest display app).

Now I have the latest FW and the latest display app (new firmware installs it automaticaly). And I haven't got any purple hue nor light bleed. Now blacks are black (in full dark room with highest brigtness possible). So I am considering the issue fixed.

It's improved, but not GONE. If I have the lowest brightness possible and have Spotify or a gray background open, and then lock and unlock the device I see that after maybe 1-2 seconds the perfect grey color gets a noticeably purple hue.

Do you really need to use the Nokia Software Recover tool, to install this update if your on the DP?

 

[jmerrey]

So I don't have the DP installed. I still haven't gotten the update/firmware discussed. Now I see there is ANOTHER update available if you enable the DP. I'm wondering if I should just enable the DP to get this latest update released today, and then disable it, or wait for the official 8.1.1. Confusing

No.

I have installed last update couple days ago and purple hue gone. Im happy now.

The last DP update makes the purple issue back again...!!!

Is it simply a matter of unticking the box in the developer preview app to receive this update if I had already been on 8.1.1? I unticked it a couple days ago and haven't received the update yet. Anxiously waiting for the purple tint issues to be gone.

Hi, I've just updated to the 8.1.1 official update and I'm noticing that when I scroll on the settings screen with the black background and white writing the text seems to change colour or go dull until I stop scrolling then it will go white again, I had this when I very first got the phone but an update to the Display app (it came up in the Store app updating list) fixed it but now it seems to be back with this update, anyone having this issue?

I had the same issue after update.
Sliding the brightness towards high in screen settings fixed the problem.

Guys, if you want the purple issue gone install only the last update, not the last DP update.
In case you updated already with DP you'll have to make new installation with Nokia Software Updater

I have the latest DP and there is no purple-ish effect in the settings?

Just a tiny, but that was already on the official update.

FYI, I had installed the official update by unticking DP and installed the DP today by re-ticking the DP.

I'm assuming you had the purple issue before, right?

Nothing really changed for me too, even after the latest update yesterday. It's still there. Waiting for the official 8.1.1 that was released on the 22th. Let's hope it willbe available soon!

It's the 14353.31002 firmware that fixes the problem, not the 8.10.14157.200 or 8.10.14176.243 OS version. And by fixing i'd say it's definitely better but there's still some purple left in grey areas.

 

[fdokos]

It's exactly as user4545 says...exactly! I reset the phone using NRT, and I got the latest update, where the purple tint is 80-90% gone. I did get the update while being on DP's latest update (by unchecking the box in DP app, and simply checking for updates), but there was no change, so that's why I did the revert. And everything is fine now.

And the ones that already have 31004 what can they do?

Still waiting for the update on my unbranded AU 930 with developer preview box unticked

I have the same problem, it's wierd and annoying.
I expect a little bit higher quality from the kind of phone.

I also notice some kind of latency problem with the 930 screen in a dark room.
I compared with my Lumia 1020 and recorded.
Both phone is on automatic brightness.

I can't post links, so in Youtube searc for that: Lumia 930 vs Lumia 1020 screen (if you interested).
