Why.....

SH!T, not this crap again. The Galaxy S2 has this at a greater extent, but I was LEAST EXPECTING this on the Note, especially since they JUST starting manufacturing this model. I don't even think the demand is as high as the S2. I'm having mixed thoughts now. Those marks are NOT normal. :confused:

This is the biggest manufacturing defect of the season! Go to the Samsung Herculus (T-Mobile S2) Forum and you have over 500 users observing the same exact problem! Samsung is carelessly sealing the back of the AMOLED display panel, therefore you will see lines and blotches everywhere. This is absurd! :mad:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChodTheWacko:
I guess it could be a problem, but to be honest with you, I don't have any interest in trying this.

Go to a completely dark room and turn the screen to 100% and look for defects? Uhh, what?

When I'm in a very dark room, I find 3% quite comfortable, thank you. (10% brightness * screenfilter (30%)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Hmmm.... so something that you can only see when you are switching the phone off in a completely dark room is "the biggest manufacturing defect of the season"???

I understand that when you drop hundreds of £s/$s/€s on something, you want it to be perfect, but something that can only be seen for a split second as you turn the phone off in very specific circumstances, scarcely warrants such a title in my opinion! :)

I can certainly think of worse - lightbleed on Asus Transformer, or Newtons rings/oil click on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 for example, which (if present) can be seen during use.

I agree with foxmeister. Why try and find a fault when there's really no fault there!

So you've got dots on your screen when in a completely dark room, with screen set at 100%, that lasts for a second or two......so what! Don't sit and stare at your phone in the dark is the answer. Then the problem will go away.

Jeeez, some people are never satisfied or happy.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bigmille:
Thanks for the feedbacks, I have the EU version from amazon.de.

There is definitely a fault with either the screen or how it was put together, otherwise I'll not be able to notice it. Those marks does not show up on my Galaxy Tab 10.1, the original Tab or any my pervious mobile devices as far as I can remember.

I did note this don't affect the screen in normal use. Also the 100% brightness suggestion is to make the problem easier to spot, I normally have the screen at 5% in the dark, and we have no control over the brightness when the phone is switching off (when I noticed the marks).

I started this thread to find out what is the course of this problem and how widespread it is before deciding if I should send it back to Germany for a replacement/refund.

BTW, under EU consumer law, we have 21 days to return the device either for a refund or replacement from the seller, after that we might have to send the phone for repair.

Head over to the International Galaxy S2 and Galaxy S2 (T-Mobile) Forums and the answers behold. Hundreds of comments stating the same exact issue.

I have a Galaxy S II, and regularly frequent those the international forum, and I've not seen this come up as an issue (though I don't disbelieve you that it probably does somewhere). I looked in the TMo US Galaxy S II specific forum and I did find such a thread, but I was unwillingly to pour through 50+ pages to see the final outcome as it was filled with people who have the issue, don't have the issue, or have the issue but don't care.

I've not noticed this issue with either my Note or my Galaxy S II, and I'm not going to go look for it in artificial environments that I'd typically never be using my device in.

"If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?"​

According to the OP, on the Note, this only appears for a brief moment whilst the phone is being switched off in pretty much total darkness, so my point is - does it really matter?

For example, in the late night with the lamp turned off, if you are laying in the bed reading a book with black background (better if you are looking at a completely black image, with the buttons and menus hidden), you may notice it.

It seems to me that the brightness settings does not affect the "real" brightness (namely, the brightness felt by the eyes) when displaying an utterly black image.

I also seem to have this problem... only quite a bit more pronounced. 100% black screen displayed, in almost completely dark room.

I have an issue but i dont know if its the same. I noticed it when i changed my wallpaper to full black(homescreen and lockscreen). Homescreen with a black wallpaper is fine but when i go to gallery there are dark pink spots in the background. The worst thing is the lock screen. Instead of black, i got jammed dark pink color.. And i also noticed for playing videos, dark scenes, backgrounds turned into burned pink. I was not expecting this from a device set to be powerful. I tried resets but a thousand dollar worth if device like this should not have this kind of issue since i was relying on super amoled hd.

(just bought an xperia arc a month ago and sold it for half the original price just to get this galaxy note.) i switch from iphone to android:(

sorry for that

here are another sets of pictures using a camera.. I am working in a duty free shop, We are also selling galaxy note and early this morning I tried putting a black wallpaper (lockscreen and homescreen). It seems ok, but before I get off to work i came to visit the mobile shop and check if galaxy note is still ok. Gallery background seems to be ok but the lockscreen with black wallpaper started to develop a faded dark pink lines like mine.. I will have to check tomorrow if it gets worse.. I dont remember mine having this kind of problem the first day I bought it, until I changed my wallpaper to black. anyone having the same kind of problem? Is it just one the defective unit or the galaxy note itself? try using all black wallpaper. thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zipzorps:
still having the same display problems after exchange

my galaxy note is still having the same problems after i changed it with a new one.. black lockscreen wallpaper seems to be not working ok with galaxy note.. Homescreen is normal, and gallery seems to be ok sometimes. I also observed that when i was in the shop earlier to exchange it, the black color seems to be fine and the abnormality of the violet color is not so visible since theres a great amount of light in the area. I was thinking it must me the adjustment of the display.. but automatic brightness is disbled.. :( one more thing, i tried putting an HD 720p mkv movie. harry potter 6. during the opening title (which is the logo of warner bros, surrounded by clouds) the screen seems to take time to adjust since the first and dark parts of the clouds seems to have the pink mixup similar to lockscreen issue..

I was hoping that this can be fixed with a software update because i dont want to return my galaxy anymore.. I will be a great relief if somebody will try to use a black wallpaper for the lockscreen.. Its just that I am not expecting that this hd super amoled with 1.4ghz dualcore will have this kind of issue.. I hope its just the sensor trying to adjust with the light.

sorry for the long post.

They must have been eating noodles on the assembly line and some of them hot noodles fell on the screens as the conveyor belt was rolling the screens by. Since these screens are organic, the hot (and disgustingly delicious:D) ramen noodles must have seared the screens!

Even on regular use this is quite easy to spot even w/o trying at all. this probably affects people who read ebooks or whatever in inverted color mode, people who use their phones as a night stand (???) but mainly this affects people who use their phones as a portable media device for watching movies probably before going to sleep and I do that as well, thats where i discovered that my SGS2 had kind of screen issue. In dark scenes this becomes VERY annoying and sticks out like a sore thumb.

I have no such issue on my G-Note but I also understand why this is a non issue to others because 1.) The expectation for a $700 device is quite low 2.) Their normal usage does not involve watching anything with dark scenes in a dark room.

I believe the reason for this manufacturing defect that will go on and on is that a lot of people are accepting this as normal ( who wouldnt if it didnt affect their own usage )

Also the brightness level wont really affect this, its as visible at 0% or 100%. I've seen this on my Galaxy S2 and it was far worse than what the OP posted.. I believe I still have the picture somewhere in the S2 thread ill try to find it.

Dell Streak 10 Pro review
[Dell Streak 7] Jun Austria:
I read your review. Its honest but everybody have there own preferences.

I'm using my Dell Streak 10 in the construction field. So durability is what attracted me to get the DS10. Also storage is a must. When it was updated to 3.2 I felt a big relief that I can now put all my drawings in my tablet via pdf format. And site pictures to store with. My only wish is if only I can plug my pen drive on it like my Iconia.

I like to add, I also have the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Acer Iconia

using Rockplayer playing an avi file. I find Dell Streak 10 and Iconia plays the file smoother compared to Galaxy Tab. It's like watching a Ray Harryhausen movie but faster.
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
Eh the s10 looks more resilent, but really all tabs have the huge glass front that's just asking to be scratched/chipped/shattered, everything else is small potatoes compared to the effort to protect the screen.

I would assume that there'll eventually be an accessory to plug in usb things, but the fact it's a dongle makes it a pretty big negative even if they bundled it for free (which they dont)

Iconia's a T2 (i think?), i dont recall what samsung uses in their tabs. I'd expect pretty similar performence between the iconia and s10

But when I play the movie on the Transformer, (and it appears on my TV), the Transformer screen stays on.

no as of right now there is not although some video player apps turn the screen off when playing video through hdmi (I know youtube does it but that doesn't really help) but there is definatly at least one that will do that for you just try out different apps and i thnk that you will find one that works for that purpose

Keeps you from getting annoyed by seeing a mini-me of the tv screen when watching a movie with people ;). Just a quick-fix of course, not really helpful in terms of battery.. but I'd assume that 2 hours of streaming is fine, especially since being near a tv is like being near an outlet.

Just noticed 5 videos on my optimus 2x after upgrading to gingerbread.

They are commercials for 2 movies, 1 burger, 1 phone, 1 washing powder.

The phone commercial is for the Samsung Galaxy S II. WTF... why would LG put a commercial for Samsung in their GB update?

This doesn't make any sense to me, as they were not on my phone before the update.

They all claim to have been recorded on the 29th of october.

I can't even find them on the phone. They are not in "videos" and if I view "details" on them it says that their location is "unknown". They are on the phone when the external SD card is removed - so they must be on the internal somewhere.
