Hi!

I'm also using this AOSP ICS ROM, yet I cannot see all the values on a black test. I'm using http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/black.php on Chrome Beta browser and I can see clearly block #4 but blocks 3 to 0 are completely black.. Sobfor me it's the same as GB, unfortunately. I haven't watched any videos yet though, will try later.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gattari:
You are rigth in browser are invisible the last 3 block.

Please test BS player and install the arm v7 plug in.

I test only with Gallery this:

Download and test with ics Gallery app.

In tapatalk don"t show as well.

You are right, in stock gallery I can see all down to 1. However, in QuickPic, I can still see only down to 4 :(

This is with stock gallery:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] EarlZ:
Do you have the aosp ics rom installed?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gattari:
Yes, ..... and in BS player grey video block disappeared films have a perfect vision now.

This mean that is a software related issue...

the only thing that bothers me about my Galaxy NOTE is the green tint that come and goes... sometimes you can see it gets the green tint and the changes back to normal short after..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] onetonnoodle:
There's an app that compensates persistent tinting, but I think irregular tinting is major quality issue. Try getting it replaced iceman if you're still under warranty.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] EarlZ:
Ive never seen that happen aside from the browser and only with the store demo unit. If it happens anywhere then its a hardware defect.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sibere:
Pretty good BUT, as usual the lowest values are too bright. Those last couple of very dark greys should almost not be visible. This is what causes the black clipping issue in some pictures and videos.

It could be a superAmoledHD technology limitation ... :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Hirudin:
Oh my god!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mcreego:
Any news from this project?

Will this app be compatible only with Ics (so You will wait Samsung to realease it) or also with GB Roms?

Hope to see the result of Your work on my poor screen soon :D

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jdmwellington:
Would you consider persistent tinting to be a hardware defect covered under warranty?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gilead8:
Here in our country, the saleslady would even tell you that it's just normal :( every screen issue you'll show they'll just say "It's just normal."
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] EarlZ:
That is pretty much expected since they dont really know what to expect from a screen that is marketed to be the most "vivid,sharp,clear" and a host of other stuff.

I remember showing my Galaxy Note before to the sales person in a Samsung store and she told me that she does not see any of the vertical lines on my screen, then a few days after I took my Note to the service center for a replacement screen and the guess who the front like customer service person was, yup! her.. but she probably forgot my face and suddenly she sees the vertical lines and immediately forwards me to a technician.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Zabalba:
Apologies if this was already asked (search function is down). But I was wondering if you had any plans to port voodoo color to the ATT Galaxy Note?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DJsCrIBbLe:
,

Video is fixed btw so YouTube or any video player works.

Also what is brightness supposed to be when testing. With full brightness i can see block 1 in ics gallery using the placing test PNG a page back.

Edit. At lowest and highest brightness i can see block one in stock ics gallery on aosp.

This one
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pkoper:
Maybe it has to do with compression of images?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] supercurio:
Unfortunately I don't have access to a Qualcomm Galaxy Note so...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fl4r3:
If I understand the gamma test images correctly, I think your NOT meant to be able to see all the way down to block 1.

Since we can it suggests that the gamma is set too low. Thats the reason we are seeing black crush etc because there is a big difference between the last gray value and pure black.

...I may be wrong...someone want to clarify?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DJsCrIBbLe:
Thanks if that's the case boo. Only in gallery though. Browser is block 3 or 4 using chrome
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] volkanerkan:
Yahooo

Hello people. I also just downloaded bs player. Confirmed, Blocks are disappeared. :) :D When I disable the hardware acceleration, the video became even much more better. Check it out and see
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gattari:
You are on ics aosp rom? I think

On gingerdred rom. ...bs player do not make any difference.

I am on gingerbread. Stock phone.

It did make difference a lot. Expecially when you use with out hardware acceleration.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Monkey Slut:
im on ginger too- and i do not see any difference either

What do you mean by turning off hardware acceleration? You meant swittching from hw to sw?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] volkanerkan:
Yes exactly like that. Switch to software.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ddeath:
Seems like this also applies to Mobo Player. When I enabled 'Default Using Soft_Decoding' in the Playback settings, the blockiness goes away. So.... this looks like more of a decoding issues than screen?

The only thing is, I have noticed the video fps has dropped with soft decoding, which is expected when running 720p videos.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] EarlZ:
I've tried it before with mobo and by using software mode it does raise the black levels, this is probably why we no longer see the blocks, well at least for my unit thats what it does.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] @Peterrrrr:
nearly two weeks ago I bought a Galaxy 10.1 , since then I havent use it at all. I cant stand the excessive colors and the added sharpness in the pictures :( Wich is very sad, because the main reason why I was going to use it was for showing picture(I am a photograph and view videos).

And I have no rights to return it :(

So I heard about Voodoo Screen Tuning R&D, wich give me hope :)

Does the map removing excessive colors and the added sharpness? Are the picutre with that app more near the D6500 standard?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] EarlZ:
On the Tab10.1 if you want to restore the natural colors set the screen mode to movie, if you want to mimic superamoled colors set it to dynamic. The added sharpening is just with the gallery app, you can use a 3rd party app like quickpic so that you wont get the added sharpening and better colors.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] diament:
Just wanted to share..

Two weeks ago I received a replacement from Samsung. The color banding and black clipping is almost gone. Only slightly noticable in very dark environment and only in certain apss/images/movies. This is a definite keeper for me. Im very very happy since two weeks with my Note. I was afraid I receive more defective piece but with this first replacement I'm fully satisfied. It was worth of waiting 25 days for the whole process. Now I'm not even thinking about any screen tuting apps. Good luck for all.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bnapalm:
Good to know you got a good replacement. Unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to wait 25 days - I've become addicted to my Note and can hardly live without it for a couple of hours (because I leave it at home when I go drinking) :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dzontra11:
Hardware...what?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] volkanerkan:
on bs player you have 2 options. Either you play using hardware acceleration or software. WHen you use software , no black cube etc problem.

---------- Post added at 11:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:55 PM ----------

Now we need a player which show picture gallery by using software acceleration so thepictures will also look nice.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Inuit:
For me absolutely no difference with all videoplayers available in the market. Alwaysyblack blocks. I am on Gingerbread.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] @Peterrrrr:
But still the pictures and the white balance isnt correct in Movie mode :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] EarlZ:
If you want to get the most possible accurate color then you need to use the DataColor's Spyder calibration with their andriod app.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] @Peterrrrr:
Where do I find it? Havent seen any download on Market or other app sites? :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mcreego:
I really don't know how it can happen: every different rom I've flashed on my Note result in different colour rendering.

Sometimes the black present block and banding, sometimes this effects in picture are less aggressive and also the movie are watchable.

Also in the calculator app sometimes there is a visible banding but when I flash a different rom at the same brightness settings the calculator app shows less banding.

I saw in his twitter that Supercurio is working on Voodoo Sound update, so I hope that he didn't give up on his screen calibration app and is only waiting for Sammy to release Ics so he can see if they made some improovment in gamma setting and adapt his app.

Waiting for some news....;)

Rays of FIX!!!

Guys!

Seems like we all gonna have the fix very soon to our screen problems!

Because with such progress you cannot dismiss that as a fact! :rolleyes:

Mean while Supercurio is working on the final product we got user mumchristmas coming up with some results and fix as well on the Galaxy Nexus, as the nexus has also reported screen issues..but the fix ain't going to work on the stock, there has to be some changes to the inside! :cool:

Follow it up on this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1521195
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] EarlZ:
Sounds promising, but one has to consider that all of the screens differ so much in color temperature that this fix might not work for everyone but im sure it can provide great improvements!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hobs0n:
Hey peeps! Where is supercurios special Note screen app? I'm probably blind and cornholio! But I can't find the application in this thread or the market...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] onetonnoodle:
it was taken down by supercurio at the moment. But he said he'll release a better version of the product eventually. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hobs0n:
Ah ok :) thanx for zee info!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mcreego:
Is somebody able to port the gamma e colour fix from the Galaxy Nexus to our beloved Gnote?

Yesterday I was watching in the gallery some pictures that I've taken in Rome during my holiday and...with the Galaxy s2 they were sharper and clearer then with my Galaxy Note, how it is possible?:)

Waiting a long time for a fix from Supercurio:D:D:D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] EarlZ:
The Galaxy Note uses a Pentile scree ( 2 subpixels per pixel ) while the Galaxy S2 uses RGB ( 3 sup pixels per pixel ), a lot of arguments say that sub pixels only offer 2/3'rds of the resolution. Some people cant tell the difference but its there.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mcreego:
Thanks for your explanation EarlZ seems that you know a lot about Gnote screen:D

Finger crossed for a solution
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] knightnz:
Short of replacing the screen, you're not going to match the quality of the SGS2.

There is room for rendering improvements in the software though, color banding on the Note is much worse than on the SGS2.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] supercurio:
Just to inform you I developed the technology I needed as driver while working on Voodoo Sound.

It means I'm one step closer for the new gen application.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] btyork:
Thanks for the update!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] onetonnoodle:
exciting! waiting for your app super curio :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bamboo12:
will it work on ics? because by the time you release it.. GB will be kind of obsolete (it kind of is already, i'm not going back)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] supercurio:
Yes, target is ICS.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] clandestino123:
Hi, I disagree with the above. I'm using mx player in gingerbread fyi.

HW acceleration on: problem is very visible, let's say 100 percent visible.

SW acceleration on: problem is slightly visible, 10 or 15 percent visible.

I don't think this is purely down to HW acceleration......
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] @Peterrrrr:
How is it going with the Voodo Screen Tuning update? :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] TempusFudgeIt:
If you use stock player how does the problem seem? I've played many videos on stock player and not really noticed black issues.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] clandestino123:
stock player, problem is there 100%. Are you watching videos with dark scenes???

If you watch e.g. the test video that comes with the phone, there are zero issues.

Another fantastic video to watch is Imax big wave tahiti 720p....really shows what a fantastic screen this phone has !!!

But if you are watching a video that needs to be upscaled to fit the screen - then that's where the problems start....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] paleh0rse:
supercurio > I just read much of this thread and I'm very excited to see that you're close to releasing an app for the International Note's black clipping issues.

Sadly, we've discovered that we have the same (or eerily similar) issues on the US AT&T I717 version of the Note. Long thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1515299

My only questions are these:

1. Given the HW and SW differences with our devices, what are the chances that your intended solution will work on both the International (N7000) and US AT&T (i717) versions of the Note?

2. If you don't yet know the answer to #1, what can I do to help find out? I can meet you on IRC to discuss it if you like -- just say when and where. (You just may be our only hope for the AT&T version as well! lol)

You work and your answers are much appreciated!

Thank You in advance for your kind reply:D

That's old news, not solving specific issues some users ate having and furthermore, not working on ICS.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Latoc:
Well right now I don't have ICS on my Note because, you know, ICS is not out yet for the Note...

So I tried the app from the other thread and you know what, it totally solved my green tint problem. Perfect whites, perfect greys, neutral color temp is achieved now on my phone. I feel like I have a new screen.

Sure, it doesn't solve the black crush, but for everyday usage, it's perfect.

Anyway I'm still looking forward to supercurio's app, but now I can wait without suffering that horrible green tint ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mcreego:
No info from Supercurio's twitter for 2 days, Sammy release his ics crap for Sgs2 and nothing for the Note, I'm am very anxious to know how it will end this story...;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] EarlZ:
Official ICS release

Time goes by

Supercurio releases his fix, black clipping and software based rendering issues fixed

Happy consumer
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dzontra11:
For sgs2?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Thanks SC!! Btw, will your screen fix include making the colour 32-bit across the entire platform instead of 16-bit in some areas (colour banding)?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Vitaminen:
Well i just talked with samsung support about the black clipping issue.

He told me the issue will be fixed in ics.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] letters_to_cleo:
I doubt ICS can really fix the black clipping ish..

why? because here in our place, Local Samsung Techs when presented with this issue, would outrightly say to replace the screen (hardware) as it might be a bad screen/LCD stock.... ( seems, hardware issue to me rather than just a software one)

My point is, if ICS (which is more on the software part) will fix the black clipping issue, then why would Samsung undeniably replaces those screen with bad clippings. (which to me is a hardware issue already, if your going to change screens right?)

I stand corrected until proven though.... ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Note_E:
Because it's a software issue related to the gamma. ICS can fix this.

Um a repair technician told you to replace your screen cuz that is his job...lol. That doesn't make him the Samsung Guru either. So many technicians talk out of their bum bum its ridiculous

Now with that said, amoled screens vary so much in their calibration that "one setting" won't fix everybody.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] EarlZ:
It would be cost effective for samsung to tell their techs that this is a software issue instead of endlessly replacing the screen till you get a good one.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jkc120:
I know it was futile, but I posted on Samsung's FB page and they denied repeatedly any issues with the screens on the Note/Nexus and told me it was "a problem with the videos".

Yeah, so when I'm looking at my Nexus screen in the camera app at my black dog and it looks like a blueberry graphic equalizer on crack, that's a video file problem, right Samsung? :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Vitaminen:
Well, i argued with my retailer about this issue. And they want to send the phone to repair center even if samsung say they cant repair the phone att the repair center cause its not hardware failure. its a software issue that might get fixed.

The thing is i love my note but i hate this blocking issue, And i feel that spending this amount of cash on something it should work. However if they can garanti a fix in ICS i will hold onto the phone. But if they cant promise a fix i want to return my phone.

And the retailer state that it needs to be sent on repair 3 times before i can return it as a faulty product. And thats like 8 weeks without a phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Zamboney:
Anyone has more info about that data colour app for the spyder mentioned before? That would be the ultimate fix.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] supercurio:
Calibration with colorimeter is the way to go (when I say long term project...) but today Android is not able to load calibration profiles.

And anyway on N7000 what we're talking about cannot be fixed with a gamma LUT correction.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Scorbion:
I dont know much but when u plug ur note to the charger while its off u notice the battery icon load with full color rendering for a second or two and then the blacks show banding like always.

For me the last software update fromn Sammy Lc1 doesn't solve the black clipping and lockscreen issue at all.

I read the post in Sammobile forum, maybe is a "placebo effect".

Hey you guys,

I'm using this wallpaper here:

http://i.imgur.com/gJY8m.jpg

On the top of the wallpaper I know notice a bit of...distortion I guess. Looks like banding or artifacts or whatever, it's definitly something ugly. I don't notice it on the screesnhot above that much, maybe because of compressio or it's just the Noteds display, who know's. You guys should have the same wallpaper so you can check yourself is the image is cleanr or if there is some sort of distortion for you as well.

I never noticed this before, had the wallpaper since day 1. Maybe my screen already starts to break down...?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mcreego:
If You do a screenshot of your phone we'll don't see the problem on our screen.

To show the issue in the proper way I think you'll have to take a picture of the phone screen with a camera and then post the pictures.

On my screen after 3 months of use I see a beginning of burning but only in my room at night on grey background.

Previously I had 4 Sgs2 and 2 Sgs and after sometimes they show some burn in effect at the same light condition.

I think it is a characteristic of the superamoled screen.

Just my 2 cent:D

Hope it helps
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Sephi:
Yeah, the issue isn't visible. But I do think it's rather color banding. You guys got the same wallpaer in the settings. The area I marked...there is some heavy banding going on compard to when you watch the screen on the PC. Coud you check please?

BTw, on the test image I can see every number from 1 to 12. Is that supposed to be something special?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] knightnz:
Samsung firmwares pretty much all have horrific colour banding, it's due to the rendering method they use. If you use a CM firmware then it's much less pronounced, particularly if you enable the 16bit dithering.

If you turn the brightness up, you can even see the issue on the page of the book on the default background picture with the quill-pen. A picture with a smooth gradient will make it really obvious. The SGS2 has the same problem, it seems to be more noticable on the Note though, presumably due to the "inferior" display tech.

They can fix it via software, but unless they can offset the performance drop in doing so with the GPU acceleration in ICS, I wouldn't expect them to do so.

As for the noobs asking "is there a fix?" - don't you think it would've been posted if there was?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Sephi:
Sn and which custom Rom am I supposed to use? Are there real alternatives out now? Btw, I like TouchWiz.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jkc120:
By CM are you referring to Cyanogenmod? If so, do you know if the 16-bit dithering is available in CM9 (for the Nexus for me)? I'd consider running it instead of AOKP, despite having less features, if it meant videos didn't look like ****.
