[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Digital Man:
I've been trying to understand the relative differences between the IPS displays used in the IPAD 2 and the Transformer, the Super PLS display of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the TFT used in the XOOM. I settled on contrast ratio as an objective means of comparison.

Article 1 XOOM: 750

Article 2 XOOM: 597!

iPad 2: 775

Galaxy Tab 10.1: 830

Transformer: 763

Article Quote: "Contrast ratio is also better on the Galaxy Tab 10.1: 830:1 vs 763:1 on the Eee Pad Transformer."

What surprises me the most out of all this, besides the XOOM discrepancies , is that the contrast of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 display is not as incredible as we were lead to believe. It compares favorably with IPS, but isn't really leaps and bounds better. In fact, it might have equivalent or slightly lower contrast than an IPS display, or conventional display but better viewing angles.

Interesting quote: "On the other hand IPS (and PLS) has significantly lower contrast ratios compared to the best VA based panels that Samsung and other manufacturers have used in high-end phones for years."

Side note is that the multiple contrast ratios for the XOOM screen might reflect the multiple screen sources/manufacturers that were used in different XOOMs.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] matt310:
The most important things to me on a tablet screen:

1. Color reproduction. Is it uniform and even? This leads me to

2. Viewing angles, top, bottom, left and right. Does the screen stay relatively sharp or does the image dissolve/wash out?

3. No back-light bleed. This is inexcusable regardless of the lectures people spout out about it being inherent to the technology. It's not when the product is designed correctly.

The panel in the GTab 10.1 is beautiful. It meets my criteria where the xoom failed on all of them and the iPad failed miserably on back-light bleed.

Contrast ratio to me is just a number. I have tolerances for all my electronics devices and to me, the panel on the Samsung is the clear winner in the tablet race. Let's hope the build quality follows suit. I'm already starting to get annoyed at how long a full charge takes.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] lordwinkevin:
The screen looks amazing! The only thing I noticed is that the screen calibration is a

little bit oversaturated. I'm planning on using mine as a photography/design portfolio and have noticed color shift when compared to my calibrated monitor.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] scmguru:
I had Xooms (with both screen versions Auo and Sharp), an I pad and now a Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the screen on my tab is far and awy better than all of them.

The Xoom has 2 screen fkavors, Sharp and Auo optronics. the screen mfg by Sharp had much better color saturation and better contrast, but unfortunately for me, a ton of light bleed due to a defect in the panel.

Specs only tell part of the story.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] BlackOtaku:
When Samsung releases the kernel source, supercurio can start developing his Voodoo Sound and Screen tweaks for the SGT 10.1, which will make color reproduction much more realistic. :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] lordwinkevin:
I'm new with android and this is awesome to hear. I also own the iPad 2 and Datacolor made an in app color calibrated picture viewer called SpyderGallery but an overall screen color calibration would be awesome!

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Digital Man:
I threw these numbers out there because, so far, almost all the info on PLS panels used in the Galaxy Tab 10.1 has been primarily subjective. Its totally new technology.

However, recently, Samsung has started to develop the PLS Panels for use in stand-alone computer monitors, and some reviewers are beginning to analyze and reveiw the technology. This is a really interesting article, and "sheds some light" (to make a bad pun) on the PLS panel technology used in the Galaxy Tab 10.1, how it works and some of its pros and cons:

http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/monitors/display/samsung-sa850.html

Remember this is a stand alone PLS monitor, so one would expect its performance would exceed that of an integrated tablet screen, but they found a contrast ration of only 545:1. Thats pretty bad in my opinion. They try to theorize why this occurs:

"The low contrast ratio may be due to the poor uniformity of the backlight. The picture based on the results of my measurements shows a bright spot in the center of the screen, just where I measured the contrast ratio. That spot is not as bright as the bottom left corner, though.

Although the extent of the variation in brightness is exaggerated in the picture for illustrative purposes, the monitor is obviously far from ideal, especially with black. Talking about the exact numbers, the average nonuniformity of brightness for black is 8% whereas the maximum deflection from the base level is as high as 45%! For white, the average and maximum are 3.6% and 8.3%, respectively. It’s hard to say why the monitor is so good with white and so poor with black....."

So, disturbingly, they found the first dedicated PLS prototype monitor to have POOR contrast ratio!! Not what you would expect. They theorize that it might be due to poor backlighting, but it is worrisome.

To summarize what the reviewers found after examining this prototype PLS monitor:

Highs:

•Low response time, good color rendering, excellent viewing angles

•Full coverage of the sRGB color space

Lows

•Low contrast ratio

•Poor uniformity of backlight for black

If this review is accurate, these first panels seem to show that the PLS technology is good, but not great. Its an OK alternative to IPS but really not that stellar in its performance. Its biggest advantage seems to be that it is a cheap alternatative to IPS that has much better viewing angles.

Remember, one of the biggest selling points cited by Samsung was cost! Its cheaper to produce than IPS. That may be a larger motivation to Samsung than increased performance.

Of course, how this translates to the performance of our own toys is debateable, but its something to think about beyond the subjective impressions we have already heard.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] matt310:
That's definitely interesting. Perhaps the larger the panel, the greater the difficulty in achieving a uniform amount of back-light. I have definitely experienced this with clouding and flash-lighting on TV sets (and mainly the reason I switched to plasma - I'd rather roll the dice with image retention than sit and stare at uneven back-lighting during movies)

Have you read about the issues Samsung's having with the panel thickness on the GTab 8.9? There's not much other than a translated-from-Korean report, but it seems the company (and panel suppliers) use a very thin "G1F" touch panel for the 10.1, and may be forced to use a (40%!) thicker application (GFF) for the GTab 8.9 due to either shortages in supply or complications in the manufacturing process.

^I think that bit is a key factor when comparing display performance - anything that sits on top of the actual pixels will contribute to the clarity of the content being displayed. Here's the article: http://tablets-planet.com/2011/06/10/samsung-to-use-lower-quality-dispalys-on-some-galaxy-tab-8-9s/
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Digital Man:
Thanks. Very interesting article. Especially considering that there has been a lot of talk about the quality control of the existing 10.1 panels. There have been threads about moisture under the screen, dust under the screen, lots of people with dead pixels. Haven't encountered nearly so many screen anomalies in other device forums. Wonder if that's the reason the GTAB 10.1 is so scarce in many places. Perhaps there are problems producing the 10.1 screens.

Oh and I went Plasma for all my TV's as well for the same reason, in addition to the faster response time. Even my video gaming TV is a Plasma. And I have never had a single problem with image retention.

Edit: Looks like another website has an article about the screen supply problem, only this time relating specifically to the GTAB 10.1. They speculate on a change in GTAB thickness if they can't make enough of the screens.

http://www.slashgear.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1-to-be-thicker-than-ipad-2-due-to-supply-shortage-10158766/

Maybe soon there will be THREE versions of the GTAB 10.1: The 10.1, the 10.1v and the 10.1 series 2 extra thick!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] lordwinkevin:
I just found dust on my screen. Its definitely behind the glass panel.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] matt310:
Slashgear is rife with editorial errors. that article misquotes the one I linked earlier. They even have published content that indicates it's the 8.9 and not the 10.1 affected but the different panel thickness:

http://www.slashgear.com/galaxy-tab...tter-screen-in-some-areas-at-launch-10158611/

Either way, I doubt the US will see the thicker screen - they continued shipping AMOLED phone displays here despite a worldwide shortage, causing many other markets to receive Super LCD screens instead.

Hi, I don't own a G2X but my friends do. Their both having data connectivity issues and random rebooting. One has leaked gingerbread rom and one has stock rom. I've given them new sim cards but still same problem. Can anyone recommend a good stable-ish Rom that can take care of these issues? I was looking at the Eagleblood 2.3.4 Rom any feedback?

Thanks for the help!

I'm having great results with the Ultimate G2X 1.0 rom. Its fast/snappy/responsive, very stable, everything works, great theme.

I will also chime in for EB 1.05 (the froyo based rom) with faux's kernal. I tried out Ultimate 1.0 on my phone, but I was getting a bunch of FC's and "zombie widgets." I doubt it was a problem with the rom itself...it seems to be an awesome rom. But I run SPB Shell 3D, and I think maybe there was some kind of incompatibility with the theming. I don't know...but I tried and tried, and finally just gave up and went back to the EB because...well, it simply works. I haven't had a single problem with it.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dolphinwigs:
if youre looking for stability i use fauxs oc stock kernel with stock rom. all other roms at this point cause different issues. mainly games not working such as nova saying wrong version or not updating for me. stock wouldn't be my choice for looks but everything seems to work and OC kernel with Go Launcher EX and its new app drawer animations make it pretty cool. ;)

p.s. everytime i try a rom then go back to stock i get a bunch of text messages that for some reason always never get recieved when using other roms as well.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moeahmad1995:
I was new to this stuff like u about a week ago. I really like eaglesblood and you probably wont need a kernel. Eaglesblood fixed the issues I had. Oh BTW I'm using 1.0.5 if u were wondering
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Joe-retired:
All of the 2.3.x roms have issues, not the developers fault, it is because the roms are based off a leaked early GB rom and are missing some of the drivers/features.

To me working BT and GPS are necessary features in a "best" rom, so I look to the froyo based roms, currently my every day rom is team Shockwave's Dark Sinister Rom.

If BT & GPS are not important, then Eagleblood Rom with Faux's OC Kernal is relatively issue free.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
not all gingerbread roms are based on leak like for instace cm and faux isnt

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wakeforsoul:
Hey, complicated story.

I have been running a rooted + SOFF DInc for 6 months without problems (or no problem big enough that a factory reset IN CWM Recovery couldn't fix.

Until today. I was unable to send/receive MMS, so I followed a threat which told me to delete /data/data/android.telephony/database ... or something like that. So I did, booted back up, and only got 1x. Dang, I said to myself, better reflash C7, and still, 1x. Dang! I said again, and flashed OMFGB, again, to no avail...just 1x.

I *228 option 1 it, and reboot into recovery to fix perms, and nothing boots. NOTHING! Just infinite white HTC Incredible screen. So I try flashing C7 nightly, OMFGB, restoring Nandroids, nothing ... except for MIUI 6.17 and C7.0.3, which both got 3G! But...none of their GAPPS worked (I flashed them with known good GAPPS).

So I pull the battery, give it 5 minutes, and while in C7.0.3, *228 1 and 2. Reboot and restore from my C7.0.3 (with my old data on it, the one aforementioned was clean), and it works....weird. I update apps, run fix permissions (running really slowly), and it reboots, but now 3G is gone! I also cannot uninstall apps....

What is wrong with my phone? Why is 3G dropping all of a sudden??

It has to do with either that bogus tip I had to delete /data/data/com.android.telephony/database or whatever (but shouldn't that be fixed by restoring?), or something to do with my hardware coinciding (but I doubt that very much).

Help!!!!!

EDIT: File I deleted:

Flash the ruu from dougpiston.com. It will reset your stock, but it will most likely fix your problem because it's definitely software related.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wakeforsoul:
Well, I had a stock Nandroid already. I did restore that, and 3G did work. The problem was, though, that when I restored a once 3G-ified CM7 (and nightly), 1x would show up. Something MUST have changed, but I still fail to see why it perpetually changes nandroids.......

Now, it looks like *228 on any ROM is necessary. Also, fixing permissions breaks 3G. This is NOT good. I still need help. Any takers?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
Is the file you deleted present in your backups? Like the other poster said, it might be worth it to try flashing the RUU.

Well, I am in an interesting situation of having no internet ATM and only 1x...but:

While in stock, I did *228, and 3G was restored. I then restored custom CM7 from CWM, and ... 3G, as before. I am just going to chill out on crackflashing, and take it slow.

BTW: How do you look at restore images? I tried in Ubuntu and Snow Leopard, but I could not open the *.img.
