Subject: GSM Triplets Refresh – Thumbnail Image Quality
Phone Models: GSM E550, V535, V545, V550, V600i, V620
Level of Repair: 1
Problem
Service is aware of a customer perception issue, highlighted by the field and
identified in the NPI Analysis, of the GSM Triplets Refresh product. Some units,
returned with customer complaints of “Camera – Poor Quality”, were analyzed to
have no failure. However, it was noted that captured images that are stored in
phone memory have a pattern of gray squares “water spot effect” superimposed
on the thumbnail image. These gray squares are not seen on the actual image,
when set as wallpaper, or when viewed by a PC or any other phone.
The squares are a result of the dithering applied on the images in order to
improve the quality of a color gradient image. This effect is most noticeable when
the captured image is a plain (uniform color) image. Removal of dithering would
worsen the quality of images displayed on the screen. Since this is a rare
occurrence, no change will be made to the existing imaging software.
