I get them only when scrolling. I think it's that it converts to a smaller bit color when scrolling for smoothness.

so if there's confirmed banding, are we still undecided on the problem?

one camp says the screen is ok, but it's the apps that are not forced to 24 bit

the other camp says that the screen is faulty

I havent noticed any hue changes on my screen, the colours are solid and consistant and static images never have any type of colour shift at all.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martcerv:
Im pretty sure the most obviouse banding is software related, the screen as far as i know is made the same way as the galaxy nexus just smaller with 720 lines vs our 800. Same pentile matrix and if there no banding like we have it surely must be software related.

I can clearly see when some images drop down to a lower bitrate in the gallery, homescreen or lockscreen. They are sometimes ok and other times look looks almost 8 bit mostly in the grey scale though.

Its not as noticeable in some colours but its still there as can be seen in the xda app screen and other apps.

Im thinking it could be a display driver issue, maybe forced by samsung to increase rendering performance so it may not be anything that can be fixed by anyone but them.

It could be a memory issue as the 1280x800 screen could be running out of memory forcing lower bitrate textures/images/videos.

Hi all,

I have the screen "random hue changing" issue. The hue change is not *extreme*, it's not constantly changing, but it's there and I noticed it before I read anything about it. Sometimes toward the red (warmer) or towards the green.

Switching off auto brightness doesn't change a thing.

About this issue, do we even have the beginning of an explanation or even a hint on whether it's HW or SW related ?

I don't wan't to return my Gnote now considering the high change to get another issue with the new unit (banding, spots, dead pixels etc). Especially if this hue thing is solved in a month through an update...

Other than that my GNote is just perfect.

I wanted to point out this Imobile place was great to buy from. Its one of the ones in the list of this site, a few down.

the price was 5600HKD and they were nice and aid that i could replace it immeiately or within 7 days at the store, and after id have to deal with samsung.

the unit i got was perfect.

they also had a white one, but one thing i noticed is the white ones back is realllly.. cheap. it kind of reminds me of the back of the iphone 3g. it just feels like total crap compared to the back of the black one.

i was considering the white one but after seeing that just got the black.

I LOVE IT :)

Does your hue change happen at all brightness levels or just lowest screen brightness?

Where did you get the Note, is it the French, Polish or other version?

---------- Post added at 06:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:58 AM ----------

Same question .. what Note version do you have?

Have you used it a the lowest brightness level for any amount of time and checked for screen issues?

Hi,

I got my gnote from amazon.fr, but I don't know "where it's from".

Mine is from Korea bought in Hong Kong, i use min brightness all the time in the dark as its still very bright but looking straight on it has no hue changes at all that ive seen.

Looking at it from extreme angles white will shift a tiny bit greener but that's looking at such a sharp angle you couldnt read anything on screen.

It just seems like i got extremely lucky on the screen, just not sure what the true percentage of great screens is as many people that have an issue will look here and those with none may never even get to xda.

I wouldn't be posting here If it wasnt for the shifting black levels and banding which are just software issues.

So last Sunday I took my phone to a samsung store to have it checked and both the sales/tech rep says they dont see any issue with the horizontal lines.. basically they dont see it.. LOL!

I just went to the service center instead and immediately the tech saw the issue and informed me to just bring a copy of my proof of purchase and they can order a new screen and replace mine, they havent had done any screen replacements for the note yet so Im a bit worried that they might screw it up and I think maybe I should have my screen replaced a couple of months later down the road this should also improve chances of getting a perfect screen as manufacturing yields increase.

In short, visible horizontal lines ( even on greys ) are considered defects and should not be accepted as "normal" I've already seen 2 G-Notes that dont show even the slightest hint of visible grey lines on the 'jedi' image i posted and the color they show on the image is totally different from what I see on mine.

Every Body got horizontal lines on LOCK SCREEN !!!Even Galaxy s II !!!

(I think this firmware problem ! because on galaxy s II if you moves lockscreen image away, under the picture no problems found, no lines everything is perfect !)

Also I never saw this BULL**** on Cyanogen firmware, or MIUI !!!

Guys also don't forget about 16bit apps, and pictures.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
Im not referring to the locks screen horizontal lines if thats what you mean but yeah the stock lock screen also has a rendering issue, using a 3rd party lock screen app or using multi-live wallpaper to control the lock screen image gives a clear rendering in images.

I just hope that ICS will require a 24bit rendering system wide.

Color Banding Issue

Dear All,

The Amoled screen problems in color representation appear to have very exciting and rich history. May I represent results of my recent test, that probably can reflect one of these problems. I made test images of various resolutions. I tested them on old i8000 phone with Amoled screen.

Briefly, the screen shows obvious banding in the gradient test (gradient image), however upon zooming into figures of the at least screen resolution (800x480 and up) banding disappear...(no_gradient image). If I use image of smaller resolution (even 799 instead 800), no zooming can change the situation. Obviously, software in each case trying to readjust the image to very peculiar pixel distribution in Amoled and sometimes without success... Would be interesting to test it on Note, as resolution dependence of image rendering can tell something about driver incompatibility.

green hue

Hello,

Unfortunately, I have the same green hue issue on my device:

- green hue on black and white pages (web browser, manga etc...), when scrolling

- and sometimes, a pink / green hue alternatively (mostly visible on grey and white background)

I don't think it is only software because I have it in recovery mode too (less visible, but still present.

I try to activate /de activate auto brightness, display mode (it s more visible in "video mode"), and LCD adjustment, but nothing fix it.

The only thing I noticed is that it's clearly more visible when my battery is fully charged, and quasi non visible when it's below 30% charged.

Did someone contact Samsung after sales about this?

Do they accept to change or repair the device, or do they consider it's something normal?

Regards,

Fred

Sometimes the line between hardware and software is really thin especially on these kind of device.

I think I have similar issue. It looks like I can see distances between pixels as grey, but it is more intense grey(by means of cumulation) in horizontal directions.

But this happens at night where environment has weak light. Brightness is on auto. On low brightness it is easy to see and it is like some dust on some parts of screen. On max brightness, it is very hard to say there is problem.

If you say it is defect, I will try my chance. But, I don't want to lose all my setup on phone. No way to backup since no root.

Got my Note back from Samsung 2 days ago after a whole lot of fuss and calling and FB wall posting. They called me up to say that hadn't had anyone return it with a bad display yet and I was the first. They ask to me use for a week to see if the problems return and get back to them if it persists. So far so good, but there's a beginning to be a very slight dimming of the right edge of the display. Apparent on auto brightness, but at 40% brightness it's completely gone.

Tried Youtube now, and i noticed when i'm using the YouTube app that "HD" is NOT HD! It looks horrible and it's all fuzzy. So i opened Youtube.com and used the desktop version, set a video to 1080p, and it is MUCH better, but still not perfect.

Update: I do see now that the YouTube app says HQ and not HD, but that doesn't change anything. Still sucks, but now i understand why.

Next step was to stream some HD movies using DLNA. Result?

(Note: The movies are ripped Blu-ray's, but they are all compressed. File formats are mkv)

- Superbad (720p) = Perfect. No blocks, banding or problems with blacks/shadows

- Back To The Future (720p) = Same as Superbad

- Close Encounters Of The Third Kind (1080p) = Same as above

- Crazy Stupid Love (720p) = Some artifacts in a couple of dark scenes.

- Insidious (1080p) = Plenty of dark scenes, but no issues.

- Pan's Labyrinth (720p) = Problems with some dark areas, but far from bad.

- Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes (720p) = Perfect.

Abyss note kernel 2.3

Hi all,

I have 2 issues on my note screen:

- random changing hue (greenish/pinkish) on grey screen (like market)

- greenish hue on black and withe pictures when scrolling (like web browsing)

3 days ago, I tested Abyss kernel 2.3 (cleaning cache, dalvik cache and battery stats as always).

And with this kernel, I can't notice any issue on my screen during one day.

I tested then version 2.4, and the 2 issues described above are back.
