I have a returns option to replace the phone with another (volume bug / unit opened and tested by Handtec). However, I think Im gonna just wait for the fix and see how it goes. I have 1 band across the screen, but not rally noticable except on low brightness on solid screen. Plus..... I think it is a total crap shoot. Change the phone and end up with wider vertical banding or two bandings or none, or a dead pixel. :) Love what you got people. Love it. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Major Clod:
I've also noticed this problem on my new Galaxy Nexus. Hadn't really seen this before on my Nexus S or Desire but low and behold, both of these amoled screens also exhibit the same problem.

I think the issue comes from the fact that the display on the Galaxy Nexus can go to a much lower brightness than my Nexus S, coupled with what seems a very aggressive auto brightness algorithm, hence why I've only really noticed it now.

Its not preferable but I guess I can live with it. Most screen technologies have some sort of downfall, be in backlight bleed, response times, colour reproduction, etc..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcgon1979:
Hey Crin. Let me know how this goes? Im totally split on whether to stick or replace. If I had a look at another test unit id know right away. You seem to have a good understanding of the banding so let me know how the shop demo unit looks. It will be bright in shop so youll probably have to manually lower brightness to 20%.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aindow:
At least I'm not the only one with banding issues. I was worried that my screen was faulty. I must admit I only noticed it this morning though

Rik
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Crin:
I definitely second this thought.

As to the other people above, I've said a few times, mine isn't only noticeable on the lowest screen brightness. I showed it to a friend last night without mentioning the band, it was a well lit room and brightness was manually set to around 65%. He asked what the line in the middle of the screen was.

He's an Appleite too. Tres embarrassing. :-)

Dunno if I'll make it into town this weekend yet but I'll post back results if I do.

Why can't I receive Facebook notification sounds? Also is there no Facebook friend integration with contacts yet?? I noticed there is no way to access Facebook settings with ICS like on GB don't know if its a Facebook update or the actual OS
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcgon1979:
Facebook need to update their app before ics will allow it to integrate. Expect contact integration in the future.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KiNG OMaR:
Never expect contact integration from the Facebook app on a Nexus. Google removed the sync contacts feature on the Nexus S in 2.3.3.

“We believe it is very important that users are able to control their data. So in the over-the-air update for Nexus S, we have a small change to how Facebook contacts appear on the device. For Nexus S users who downloaded the Facebook app from Android Market, Facebook contacts will no longer appear to be integrated with the Android Contacts app. Since Facebook contacts cannot be exported from the device, the appearance of integration created a false sense of data portability. Facebook contact data will continue to appear within the Facebook app. Like all developers on Android, Facebook is free to use the Android contacts API to truly integrate contacts on the device, which would allow users to have more control over their data. We are removing the special-case handling of Facebook contacts on Nexus S and future lead devices. We continue to believe that reciprocity (the expectation that if information can be imported into a service it should be able to be exported) is an important step toward creating a world of true data liberation — and encourage other websites and app developers to allow users to export their contacts as well.”
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mklass:
Like many others I have noticed the banding, but only when the brightness is low. On full brightness the banding is non-existent.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcgon1979:
I guess its on lots of them. Had thought about sending mine back for a replacement, but now Im thinking it could end up being worse, same, better. Not really worth the risk. It's only visible on low light and solid light coloured screens when scrolling.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aly19:
anybody else getting superuser notifications whenever light flow is used for notifications?

does it work with out superuser permissions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
I think the scrolling thing is normal. I think Google does something with colors to lowers the memory consumption when scrolling... to make it a smoother experience.

I noticed this on the homescreen too. Colors looked fine (on my G2x) but when swiping to another homescreen, the colors will dither, then normalize when it settles. Picking a different launcher or choosing High Quality mode fixes it.

The broswer (and other apps) could be utiliting the same methods.

G2x - 2.3.7 CM7

Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jabok:
I'm not rooted and it works... so no, it doesn't need superuser. Perhaps there are some options I'm not using that do? Basically I just use it for the LED, not the other stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aly19:
thanks for the responses, one last thing.. does anyone else's LED still blink when the screen is on? Mine does that, not sure if it is supposed to.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jivemaster:
Is the notification light meant to have a bit of colour in it when it flashes? Doesn't seem to be solid white, but white with a light rgb tinge in it. Normal?

Here is a vid from another guy showing the light with colour in it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sgs064:
^^

I have the same problem.

Seems like green, blue, red and purple are the only ones that doesn't have other colours mixed into it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrvirginia:
i had this very question when i got mine and i got an explanation as to why but no assurance that it was normal for this device. so thank you and gent above me for pointing this out. i can now say it's normal. the explanation i got was basically that you have rgb leds under there and they change color to produce the other colors that you can achieve with the light notification. this is why you have a pink(red), green and blue-ish tint when you see the "white".

also, i have some color banding but i can agree that it's not as bad as my SGS2 was at low settings. i don't have any thick noticeable lines, it's more like a pattern on the whole screen so it's uniform, or how it should be. on google home page at lowest brightness, no banding apparent...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mempf:
My Galaxy Nexus does this too. Only with white and pink can you really see the colour separation. Most single or simple mixed colours show perfectly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nyyankees3511:
This pic kinda gives a hint of how mine is, though its not as crazy as the pic suggests. Just the ride edge is slightly lighter.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sgs064:
I deleted LightFlow to see if it had any affect on battery life and to my surprise when I received a text shortly after, my led notification started working!!

Am I the only one that has led notification without using this app?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] schriss:
I tried one of the apps but it only worked in test mode, never when I actually received something. So I uninstalled and for now I stick to default white notifications.

I wonder if it prevents the phone from going to sleep... because notification light doesn't go away so it can blink for hours. If that prefents phone from deep sleep, then I might just disable that light completely.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcgon1979:
LED notification works fine for me with no app. Works for gmails, texts, missed calls etc.

Always same colour though. white.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tonnytech:
well my first had this band also see here :-

hopefully the next will be free from both defects asked the shop to inspect the phone this time before sending me.

**on another note the lightflow app is great , many thanks to the author :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
It already works perfectly for me.. every bootup..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andrewpmoore:
There's a couple of other people who have reported this, but I'm not sure why. The app does start on bootup, but for some the LED does not initialise until the app has been entered.

I've never had the issue myself and I know the app is running correctly when the notifications come in as it'll play the sounds and show in the debug widget.

Do you have the "run in foreground" option set?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zapford:
Lightflo works perfectly for me without the "run in foreground" option set, and this is with a stock rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [GO]Bobster:
if you want an amazing screen, spend £800 on a calibrated LCD display..

they're not going to be putting an expensive display into your phone.. (i cant see any banding on mine, but i can see some light bleeding around the edges)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HideYoKids:
I really dont mind it being white for all the notifications. I'd like it to be yellow/orange while charging and green when full, though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Crin:
This is possible with Lightflow :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] STi489:
I forgot how funny the general sections are....I mean u have people spending more time disecting and searching for issues then enjoying the phones...gs2 section is even worst...u have guys putting displays to 0 brightness and sitting in complete dark closets looking for blobs and streaks. Guys trying to break their phone just to find issues....Tomorrow i gonna get a six pack of coors light and come to general section for entertainment:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TonyHoyle:
It's the same for every phone.. you should have read some of the threads on the Nexus S after release :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Crin:
Guessing that is aimed at people like me. Listen mate, if you wait 6 weeks for a phone you want to make sure it's right.

As it happens, the auto brightness is really aggressive, which means the screen automatically sets it's self very low and therefore it's very obviously patchy. If you turn the screen up it looks fine but this obviously isn't that practical.

There's nothing wrong with asking a few questions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] el3ctrik:
Tbh that is exactly what you should expect when you are a website originally built for developers and there has been the release of a new phone primarily aimed at developers.

They'll naturally want to know the capabilities and issues with their phone, more so even than another phone like S2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gokpog:
It has started! I hope you have your six pack ready, STi489. I m with you, great entertainment here. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shodney:
HA HA yeah it's proper funny all this lark.

I can't stop laughing at all those weeks I waited and the £530 I paid.

Every time I think of the bugs and problems, I have to pick myself up the floor from letting out a hearty laugh. I just can't help myself. In fact... I think there's one coming now....can't....stop....myself.......HA HA HA!

Come on now. We bought a new phone. It was expensive. We waited through delay after delay, and uncertainty from retailers telling us one thing then changing it at the last second to something else.

We're trying to enjoy it, we really are, but the problems are stopping us from doing so.

Oh...and Coors Light sucks. Drink some proper beer.

Coors Light? Now that is funny.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NatTheCat:
Says the guy who returned a 10.1 with a dead pixel. OP

Would you buy a brand new car that has a chip in the windscreen?

Would you buy a brand new plasma that has image burn?

I think anybody that notices a flaw in a product of high value is going to moan and complain. Were only human.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
A phone/tablet/monitor with a dead pixel, car with a chipped windshield, or a plasma HDTV with image burn are real reasons to complain/return the item. I have no problem with someone wanting to return a Nexus they bought if it has a line through the screen or the volume buttons aren't working properly.

The difference here is that most people are complaining about extremely subjective things, and frankly getting really nit-picky about finding "problems".

Its like returning a car because "it just doesn't handle right for me", a plasma HDTV because "it doesn't look very good with my stereo equipment", or a phone because "the menu button doesn't work the way I thought it would".

But this isn't exclusive to the Galaxy Nexus. People like to complain about every phone that comes out. Most of the people complaining don't even own the phone either. If you read any forum within a week after a device comes out, it'll make you feel like the device is an absolute POS that you shouldn't have paid $5 for. Get the device for yourself and make your own decision, I'm sure you'll be much happer with it.

Anyways, OP, I'm with you. Take all these threads as pure comedic relief. There's no reason to put any stock into what these people are saying. Read it for fun, form your own opinions after you use the device.

I got a complaint and i dont even have one yet. And that is just it. I dont have one yet.

Well, beyond the obvious (not ignoring the settings and rotating from portrait back to landscape when mounted in the dock), I see the following:

* Stock Back, Home, and Recent Apps buttons, rather than the Asus modified ones (which I think look far better).

* New font (most noticeable in the clock, but it's different everywhere).

* Settings menu is completely rearranged into four categories, and now includes some switches (Wifi, Bluetooth) in the left column.

* The names and icons for some of the pre-existing items in the left column of the Settings menu have changed.

* Much less info and no System Firmware Update option on About page.

* Bright instead of dark blue background on selected items, also bright blue divider lines in status menu at lower right

* Bottom of status menu now flush with top of system bar, not overlapped

* Ugly graduated darkening effect on the right side of the screen with the status menu is now gone, so is the even uglier blue glow effect at top and bottom of the menu, replaced with a much cleaner drop shadow for the whole menu.

* No day of the week in the date, and it all fits on one line

* The "sun" icon to the right of the battery level (which one would expect to have something to do with brightness, but it doesn't) is replaced with a different icon, albeit still one that doesn't seem to have any purpose.

* The Settings icon at top left is replaced with a more logical one.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackt6509:
looks cool to me but looks like it doesnt support the dock.

the orginal asus transformer is staying on the market and the asus transformer prime is getting sold as a premium tablet for around £750 so the fact that the tf101 is staying on the market suggests is will get a OTA update however we may have to wait a while as they will put more efforts into getting it out to the asus transformer prime and it takes them a while to edit the software to make the dock work. however if both transformers can take exactly the same OS with the same alterations (the is no reason they cant however the dock firmware updates may differ due to different design) then we should see it in december when the asus transformer prime update is said to be ready
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htowngator:
Far better hardware acceleration and smooth UI in tablets though.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knoxploration:
You misunderstand. The picture in this thread has absolutely nothing to do with Asus. They already have Ice Cream Sandwich running on the Prime and almost certainly on the original Transformer too, in a state far advanced from that in the picture, because they have access not only to the Ice Cream Sandwich source, but also the drivers for all the hardware etc. required to get everything running.

The picture in this thread was made by somebody who built the Ice Cream Sandwich source into their OWN rom, likely taking drivers from other existing roms to get everything working. As confirmed in a video from (I believe) the same user on YouTube, rotation doesn't work in their build, and nor does audio work at all. It's merely a work in progress, right now.

A separate video on YouTube shows the Prime running Ice Cream Sandwich, and it looks to work very well. I would guess it's either in testing, awaiting approval for release, or both. I'd also guess that the build for the original Transformer -- which Asus have very clearly stated that we WILL be getting -- is in the exact same state, since Asus knows exactly what the hardware differences are between the two, and can easily swap out drivers etc.

I would wager there will be far bigger differences in the tablet firmware than in the dock firmware, by the way. The dock is almost unchanged -- the keyboard is identical, the card slot is identical, the USB connectivity is identical (there's just less physical ports), the only real differences are that I don't believe they're using the same battery pack, they've supposedly put an unported subwoofer in the dock, and I would be surprised if they've not redesigned their power circuitry some more to try and resolve some of the complaints about battery life that lingered after the first-gen Transformer dock update.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilbur-force:
ICS isnt just honeycomb for phones. it seems to be the best from gingerbread and the best from honeycomb.

problem as far as i can see is that there is no landscape launcher mode so it might be tricky on a docked TF.

lots of improvements in ICS and facial unlock is fun (and surprisingly accurate) but not hugely secure :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knoxploration:
Of course it works in landscape mode. People are misunderstanding that this picture comes from a third-party who does not work for Google or Asus, and who simply is building the source and trying to make it work on his own personal tablet. He's not got orientation support working yet; that has nothing to do with ICS on retail products.

How would it make any sense whatsoever for Google to remove landscape-mode support that was present in Honeycomb?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilbur-force:
erm.... ok ...... the ICS version im currently running on my phone doesnt have landscape mode.

id be daft to say they arent going to fix it for tablet release ......

I'm frankly surprised if Google's own partners apparently aren't getting access to internal builds of Android before the public source code release.
