I just bought my icon and am loving it. It's the perfect size. I cracked my 1520 and was fortunate to find the icon for the low of $125. I upgraded from 8.0 to denim have have this issue. My 1520 compared side to side has darker blacks since update to denim ! I was thinking of experimenting with windows 10 , as I have it on the 1520 but don't want to risk it on my daily driver. Anyone willing to? I just might have to and revert back if anything.I'm using icon on att was able to get mms , lte symbol but only 3mbps down 7 up ? I can deal with hsdpa + speeds til the next flagship.
I have tried all kinds of fixes recommended to me by the Lumia Help team and none of them worked. They have notified the concerned team so I hope to see a display/firmware update to fix it soon.
Is there anyway to get all the people here added to the list of people that have the issue?
Though I believe that all Icons are suffering from this issue, it's just that most people haven't noticed it yet.
The display on the Icon has just been a dismal series of disappointments...
No, I don't think so. I've been running with Denim since the day it was released, and my display was working exactly as before, no reddish tint at all. Then today I was looking around in settings, and saw the device hub CPL. I had never opened that before, so I tapped it to see what was in there. It popped up a message saying that my phone would reboot to finish installing the app, and then rebooted a couple seconds later on its own. When it finished booting, I immediately noticed this horrible gradient red tint, just like people have pictured here. And all the colors are super washed out now, no matter what I tweak in the display settings.
This doesn't make sense to me, but since I never opened device hub on Denim I'll gave it a try. The device requested restart and after restart everything is same, the black is good only at boot screen. Since the "red tint" was on my phone before opening an app I really think that you didn't notice it before.
It's nothing hardware related, it's just firmware problem. I've flashed the phone with 1028.3566.1417.10241 (Black) firmware and blacks was brilliant, on start screen, menus and apps. I'm now back to Denim because faster responding camera and 4k videos, and a purple tint is back. Too bad that Microsoft didn't noticed this before releasing it. It's hard to get update now, I think Microsoft is done with us Icon users.
How did you flash back to black?
With Nokia software updater for retail v 4.1.0.
