[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Datosss:
First of all, following my past message (having halos on 1 Note and not having it on another) thread:

Today, I've been to the shop where I bought mine. I asked sellers to give me 5 pieces and all of them were for Polish market. I took the Note of my friend that didn't have any problems with screen as a masterpiece for checking.

I've tried all 5 of those new Notes and only ONE had perfect screen that matched my masterpiece. All the rest had halos and gray instead of black on the same picture. (Despite the fact that all pieces were from the same shipment and for the same market)...

Finally, I took this perfect one :-) But later, when I have done all setup, rooting, firmware upgrade (up to 2.3.6 KKA) - I have noticed another HORRIBLE sh...t with my new screen - sometimes (trying to figure it out right now) and in some circumstances (probably only at lowest brightness setting) I can see how white|gray suddenly changes a bit to green.... and back again to gray|white. It is mostly seen when you pull down notification panel and look at it for a minute. The pattern of tint change from green to gray goes like for a 5 seconds each 5-10 seconds. And it is noticeable. Especially when you read the web page that is evenly lit with the light color. It distracts a lot from reading... Like your eyes suddenly find an obstacle and jump over it and all because of slight change in gray point tint.

Does anybody see the same sh..t happenin'?

Moreover, it seems that the effect is gone while charging....

Hi.

Control of the mDNIe settings are already added in my dev code for Voodoo Screen Tuning R&D on N7000, but its not ready for release yet.

However, mDNIe settings are totally unrelated to the gamma curve.

It's not the problem, not the solution either.

@supercurio

What are your thoughts on the horizontal and vertical lines on the G-Notes screen?

I've never seen such issue on the SGS1/SGS2/Wave
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supercurio:
The higher the density of pixels is on the screen matrix, the higher lines, due to inconsistency of subpixels placements and response at lowest brightness are visible.

Current tech limitation of the manufacturer process.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
Basically all G-notes are expected to show visible lines?

Kinda makes the whole HD screen a bit moot..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supercurio:
It's an inconsistency of the manufacturing process so it's by definition inconsistent.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
Understood, does your unit have these lines?

I'll try to go another samsung store and see if they have stocks that dont have visible lines.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supercurio:
Yes it's not really "lines" but I think it's how people call it.

Very visible like when you scroll a webpage, as the brightness inconsistencies just stay put.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
Well I just call them lines for the lack of real technical knowledge about this.. can you enlighten us more with even more details?

Regarding the samsung screen

Actually some touch screen resolution is not working properly but if you have samsung phones then just try on Samsung Galaxy Y phone.Samsung Galaxy Y S5360 has internal memory of 180 MB and it can be extended up to 32 GB. You can download images, pictures, videos and movies as you have good memory space. Samsung Galaxy Y S5360 has GPRS, EDGE, Bluetooth and USB connectivity. You can get speed of 7.2 Mbps. Samsung Galaxy Y Mobile Phone has got 2 mega pixel and it gives resolution of 1600 * 1200 pixels. It has got geo tagging facility in the phone.Bcs of this i am sure undoubtedly , you might be not facing the screen resolution problems.

@supercurio, so you're saying that some displays may look better than another of the same, even though they are manufactured at the same fabrication plant? :confused:

That doesn't sound right. I looked at my display a few minutes ago, and now the lines are not there, Auto-brightness is off, I don't see it now, this is random, and weird. :confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] betoNL:
Just install another browser like Dolphin and Opera and try again...

I have been playing witn the same Show model in a show-room here in Holland and I cannot reproduce these issues

Tomorrow I will test the screen again.....and I am not the only one playing with those Notes at that showroom....

Im not sure how using a new browser helps.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Highster:
Thought I would contribute to this thread and list the issues I am having with my Gnotes screen.

The phone was purchsed from Handtec and I've had it for three weeks now.

I noticed issues with the screen from the first day prior to reading anything on this thread.

Issues as follows:

Random hue shifting from green to red:- occurs on every brightness setting but more noticable on low brightness, very annoying.

Horizontal lines:- Can be seen on any static shades of gray image, can also be seen when viewing this forum. Very noticable on low brightness.

Verticals lines:- have noticed this a few times but rarely occurs.

Black spots:- strange black spots on dark screen, can be seen when rebooting phone.

Gradient issues:- Has issues reproducing gradients from dark to light. Can be seen every where - notification bar, Android market, xda splash screen app etc.

Poor viewing angles:- Green hue at the slightest angle change. Placing phone in portrait position on my car dock, the top section is green and the bottem section is neutral.

Im pretty disappointed with the screen quality Samsung is producing. I was very close to RMAing this phone but it seems pointless as it appears these problems are wide spread.

I really hope these issues can be resolved with a software fix in the future.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
Im sorry to hear such combinations of issues you have on the phone, The only ones I have are the horizontal and vertical lines.. I have no hue changes though thats why im thinking twice in getting mine replaced.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SAlmighty:
Like I said, my Note has a few horizontal lines towards the top that appear only in low brightness (usually in grey or white backgrounds); The black spots and black lines is something that plagues virtually every Note that is out there. I have blackspots (towards the edges) and one small diagonal line towards the right-hand-side of the display; it is very faint, and hardly visible in complete darkness, unless you squint your eyes; overall, this is very tolerable than my older S2 and doesn't affect the video playback or viewing angles. The blacks are pretty damn good; I guess everybody has their own different story to share.

My Galaxy S2 (Made in Korea) had similar issues but were far WORSE. I went to many stores to assess the Galaxy Note demo units, and they are all shared the same problems. I don't have any hues or angle issues many are pointing out here, Though I would like to point out, dealing with the Galaxy S2 Korean and Chinese-assembled units in the past, the Vietnamese seems to outshine them both; I compared the all '3' countries, and strangely and found a huge difference particularly in display quality and brightness. The Chinese-assembled units appear to be more warm and less bright, whereas the Vietnamese-assembled units are brighter and cooler. I've seen the same variations in the past, particularly between the Korean and Chinese-builds. The AMOLED displays being installed in the Korea tend to have more problems. I replaced my Galaxy S2 '3' times (All Korea Made) and same display issue persisted.

I don't like how there are production inconsistencies; I surprised how Apple can still pull it off even after having facing a fire in one other their chinese factories. :confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] betoNL:
1) I only read the first and last pages of this thread , I read your post about seeing lines while browsing, and I remembered that, when I was using the stock browser on my sgs, I was seeing lines . pixels and it was laggy....

I started using Dolphin browser instead and all that stuff was gone and browsing was smooth as butter.

2) Now I read other posts, about all kind of screen issues.....those issues (software or hardware related) are unacceptable, and if it was on my device, I would return/replace it right away, specially if they are mostly hardware related and specially if many users are not having them....

3) If you wait to long to take action, whining over here and waiting for a miraculous development is just not the most efficient way to solve your problems

4) Later today I am going back to the show-room again and will try to reproduce those issues again.....how is the best way to test the screen?

(sorry I didnt read all the posts here, I dont own a Note yet, but I will, as soon as its price goes down a little ....)

P.s.- I read somewhere, that production-wise, european models tend to have less problems.....

I wonder if HTC devices also have so many differences within the same models
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SAlmighty:
^^^ That doesn't matter, the phones are coming from the same origin. Vietnam, China, and Korea all make devices for local and global market. 99% of the devices assembled in Vietnam are designated for EXPORT-only, I don't know about the figures for China and Korea, but the Chinese and Korean get more demand; that's why problems are likely in those batches. If the European Market was getting cargo from Korea, then chances of problems may be more than than that of cargo from Vietnam. It just depends what batch that particular country is getting in that particular time. I would assume currently, most European markets are getting Korea-made Notes; I've seen only '1' Korean in my area, most of the Notes I've come across were all China.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
The screens they use are provided by LG which uses IPS tech, which I believe is far more mature than Samoled the only difference between both is how deep the blacks go.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SAlmighty:
Do you see the reddish tone when you perform the LCD test, Black (Vibration) test?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
Nope, but its not as deep as what my S1 and 7 defective S2's were.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SAlmighty:
Wow, 7 replacements, you beat me there buddy. :D

I've gone through 4, followed by a refund, lol.

Anyway on topic--I wouldn't say reddish tone, but black is not black, its too light of a black,

can you see black spots on your display when display black (in LCD test),

trying to see if all are affected here or if there is a particular batch.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
Actually it was only 3 replacements, 4 of them was just in store.. all defective. then I got a refund. Im thinking of getting a refund for the G-Note depending on what I see on the store unit this weekend.

Yeah lit black, like LCD-ish.. there are a very few tiny black spots extremely few and tiny to be bothered with.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sibere:
Even though blacks are not full blacks and look like there is a very light backlight, I don't see any spots. I must be lucky ;-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brushles83:
My Note has the problem where the HUE/Temperature is unstable.

The best example of it I can find is when I am using spotify and scrolling my play lists. It switches from sort of a greenish tint and back.

Not happy, going to return it and get a iphone 4s instead i think. Too much money to pay for a faulty screen.

Hi Hironimo,

I had the same problem with my Galaxy S2 so I suppose that it is not a problem of the penytile matrix. I returned it and the new unit didn t seem to suffer it. Now my Galaxy note has the same problem but less noticeable. I think I will go to the store and compare it with an exhibition unit.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Airisire:
So it is covered by the warranty?! Or it was replaced in that few-day return-for-whatever-reason period?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cytrav2000:

it seems annoying, and it is also annoying to hear such a problem when you are on the eve of buying this phone, Samsung Note.

ooh samsung, when will you produce a phone which is totally out of any problem or issue?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denialnw10:
Every Android phone that I have owned has had its own problems, from the Desire (speaker, battery, limited memory, updates), Desire HD (speaker, battery, GPS).

The only issue I have spotted so far is that the hue changes ever so slightly, and to be totally honest, I can live with it! Everything else works flawlessly!

This is the most perfect (as in well rounded) phone that I have ever had the experience of owning/using. There is a possibility that you will notice it now that you look for it, but I personally am happy to still endorse the phone. The overall experience is great... and it's my first Samsung phone (previously I felt Sammies were cheap looking/feeling and a bit too iphon'ish).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tzemania:
Mine have the same problem too and it's annoying at times. especially while browing the web. However i think it's more of software bugs than hardware problem as I do not notice it when i switch the screen to full white using *#0*#
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hironimo:
I doubt it is a software issue since it is mostly only visible for grey when the display is set to a rather dim level (like the automatic one).

However I can imaging this can be improved upon by software tweaks, however those tweaks would probably need ajustments for each screen and so I doubt samsung will provide a software fix.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denialnw10:
Has anyone spoken to Samsung about this yet? I think I've changed my mind as it is really starting to bug me the more I use the phone.... Not sue whether to speak to Samsung directly, or contact expansys to discuss the issue... I have owned the phone for just over a week now.What do you guys think?

I think you're referring to a different issue mate.

I've just tried something and it seems to be working so far:

In the settings/display menu I have turned off "Auto adjust screen power" and in "brightness" I have set the screen to the brightest, and so far the hue changing issues do not seem to be apparent.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gus Hayabusa:
Thank you denialnw10 but if i have to visit an eye doctor after reading a passage or an ebook, Id rather sell this thing and buy something else.

Adjusting the brightness to the max would only seem right on August,midday, on the beach on some Greek island. Otherwise, its torture for the eyes. Not to mention battery consumption.

For the record though, yes the problem is less apparent in high brightness and more obvious on low, indoor brightness. Which is exactly the one we use more.

I think the only hope on this issue, is some sort of super-update via Samsung.

Or else....

We"ll just have to live with it!

The one to the left was the first Galaxy Note I received from amazon.de, it got dead pixels within a few days and the one to the right is the replacement amazon sent me. Sadly, that one has some problems too as can be seen on the photos. Both phones are suffering from this "burn-in" effect (or whatever you call it) but the new one I got is worse than the first one. I wonder, should I contact amazon for a new replacement or should I just send them back for a refund and forget that the galaxy note ever existed? Would Samsung do anything to fix this...?

if it happens only when you scroll - this is normal. it was the same in SGS2 and SGS... best seen when you use calendar widget in Lancher pro and start to slide the screen - widget looses color and tint. This is due to the fact that in order to have more smooth animations - interface switches to lower bit colors.

but if it happens without scrolling, like in mine - it is a problem...
