[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] FarmBoi:
Just to be nitpicky, I don't think the problem can be both rare and not isolated at the same time. Whilst I'm not seeing the screen dislodge, I am seeing a blue colour flare.

Try this: In, say, Xda forums, scroll down the page and when you get to the bottom try to scroll further. The longer I run my finger up the screen and the faster I do it, the bigger the flare of the aqua blue colour. It does it on the top and bottom, in both portrait and landscape.

Is this a fault or a 'design feature' of the Samoled screen??
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] EarlZ:
Thats the 'bounce' visual effect.. lol!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] FarmBoi:
Ah, on my SGS phone the bounce effect is, in fact, a true bounce. Was the blue flare bounce a result of the Apple litigation?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] EarlZ:
I have no idea.

For those wanting to check for the circle marks on the screen better load this image up on the Galaxy Tab 7.7 that you in tend to buy and probably have their staff check it in a storage room, on my end it shows all 6 circles and several spots w/o any need for dark room as long as there is no direct light to the screen or any hard reflections it will reveal those issues. I might end up exchanging mine as I see it with normal usage.. even playing Osmos HD shows all 6 spots. Save the images and view it with an offline gallery.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] TML1504:
guys, the "blue bounce" is intended, and it has to do with apple vs. samsung! they changed this for gallery, system settings and quite a few other things! before there was an overscroll effect which apple wanted them to remove, so they made the blue effect!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] EarlZ:
These are the circle marks that I got on my screen, no matter the amount of testing/looking these were not visible with the store light conditions but easily visible in day time usage w/o any direct light sources.

Im pretty bummed out!

They are not visible in movies but they are very visible else where, infact they are move visible compared to a totally black screen, the last grey image looks like its totally black at the store but once started to play OsmosHD thats when I noticed the circles!

None of these photos taken in a totally dark room aside from the grey image.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] mailings:
I finally kept it.

My circles are like EarlZ's but I don't see them during the day or by night while reading. If in one year from now the burn-in is bad or the circles go worst, I'll try to get the screen replaced under warranty, and maybe at that time this issues are fixed and the screen is the way it should be.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] EarlZ:
Can you check with those 2 grey images if your circles are visible at dark.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] mailings:
I'm pretty sure they would be, because when setting screen brightness and the rest of the options dimms one of the circles can be faintly seen. I'm not saying they are totally invisible, just I don't see them that often.

Considering the other options abailable in the market today I finally prefered a slightly problem with the screen than stability issues. Also, as I worte earlier, if the screen issues are solved in the future, I'll try to send the tablet for screen replacement under warranty.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Peahnuts:
mm... the issues of AMOLED really seem to out way the positives right now. I wonder what the screen will be like in a year compared to less than 2 months now. Does anyone think that returning it for a Transformer Prime is a good idea? Or does the Prime have its own set of problems... Longetitvity is important as I'll be keeping whatever tablet I have until 2014. If GPS isn't a problem, does anyone think I should get the Prime? Because I really wonder what this screen is going to be like in 2 years =___=

I've already got the dock bar burn on which is visible on under 30 percent brightness with sometching grey eg. Keyboard. I can also see the circles when using lowest brightness in a dark room. I also have a slight yellow tinge on the side opposite the Samsung logo, noticeable on grey. I never use over 50 percent brightness btw.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] EarlZ:
Proabably 6-8 months from now there will be better screens that are in spec. Too bad we only get 1yr of waranty in my country.

Im getting mine replaced depending on the results at the service center, the prime as its own set of issues i wanted to get that one instead hut i settled for thr tab since it has lesser issues at the moment.

Everyone seems to be getting the burn-in, havent seen anyone w/o it.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Peahnuts:
I know that burn-in on this tablet is 'normal' along with most Super AMOLED+ screens but it still doesn't change the fact that it's there. I mean, a tablet is never reaaally necessary so you might as well have it as good looking as possible. I'm assuming if I don't do anything the yellow tinge and burn-in's are just going to get worse. (Imagine in 2 years!! lol) At the moment I'm assuming that the random reboots of the Prime can be fixed with an update while burn-in can't hah.

Two of the best tablets seem to have some of the worse problems lol. I guess I'l read up on the Prime before I make my choice. Either way I'll be going back to the store to return the tab, either for replacement or fix, or just swap it for a Prime and pay a couple extra bucks. Might get a screen protector while I'm at it haha. Does anyone know if they degrade the screen or anything along those lines? Sorry if it sounds kind of ignorant. If I get a new tab I'll be quick to get rid of any unnecessary blue and a black status bar rofl.

Does MemoXpress also own the Samsung shop you bought your tab? Here in

Manila MemoXpress offers Extended 1 year warranty + accidental insurance coverage for only an additional Php1500.00
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] EarlZ:
Junrex operates the samsung stores and service center in cebu, ive showed my problem at the store and they were able to verify the fault and will offer me a replacement with their next batch of stocks. They have a very understanding staff and a bit techie as well i asked him to do the pre-testing so that i dont have to go on every new arrival. Hopefull a unit with no circles exist, so far though with the limited user count in xda, every one has circles.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] geogetski666:
hey EarlZ i don't have the cirles but i have been seeing some burin issues when i i dont use honeybar to hide the notification bar currently flashed a different darker colored one hope it helps to minimize the burnin :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] EarlZ:
Are you willing take pictures with specific settings and images?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Flightless:
Like everyone else I have seen signs of burn in on my Tab and I also see the circle marks on the screen, they are very annoying and its not even in a totally dark room.. Like what was mentioned on this thread as long as you dont see any hard reflections on your face the circles are pretty visible on dark or dimmer shades of color. Im currently on my 3rd Tab7.7 due to these circle issues. I actually find this very serious despite I rarely use the tab in total darkness. Also font rendering is just horrible on the Tab7.7 as compared to the Galaxy Note or even on the Galaxy S2.

I dont know whats going on but SuperAmoled's quality control is just hitting a new low and luck should not be the major factor in getting a good screen, I honestly dont care what others say about their screens, I've seen a lot and they are problematic mostly uneven screen brightness which is not only limited to greys. Id like to see a photo of these so called perfect screens but they have their reasons not to post pictures.

What is this advanced task manager app that your talking about, can you give us a market link? Maybe this makes it easier to do some testing at the store before getting the device.

---------- Post added at 07:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:51 PM ----------

Do not expect anyone to provide you with pictures of their screens unless it has issues, this has always been the case for those people with empty claims. They keep on spouting that screens with issues are at the extreme minority, if thats the case then inspecting 10 tab's should at least provide me with 6-7 good screens which is not the case.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] pinkowl:
That is the Android overscroll glow.... Nothing to do with the amoled screen...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] EarlZ:
I was able to chat with a local samsung personel that does front line training for their new products, it just so happened that he was at the store discussing new and upcoming products and he had a pre-production Tab7.7 with him. It was a 3G+Wifi model with IR-Remote, 16GB, color scheme is a bit different.

I examined the screen on his tab and noticed that the grey rendering was quite good, not 100% perfect but the discoloration on the top and bottom parts are extremely minor that you really have to look for it to see it, the viewing angle on his tab with white colors is also far better than any production unit I've seen, though the whites on his unit seem to push more on the yellowish side.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] DaveC1964:
Did he have any burn-in?

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] EarlZ:
None that I could spot, is your burn in getting worse?

EDIT:

I tried the app you mentioned and yes its not totally black, color picker shows values between RGB 14 to 21 and it does make the circle marks visible in a room w/o direct lighting, I tested this is a very well lit room ( by sunlight ) and it is visible.

Using a test image of greys with color values of RGB 5,10,15,20,25 should speed up the testing.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Po0yAn:
I love this tablet, so much, but I can't live with these circles... and they exist on every tab 7.7,so if u exchange ur device forever u can't get a no effected one,that's the sad thing about it!

I wish we had a word from Samsung if it's hardware issue and stays for ever or it's a software issue. Anybody contacted them?

Any how it definitely looks like a hardware issue to me so I'm returning it to buy a galaxy nexus. (Hate the 16gb storage limit on that too! )

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] geogetski666:
i would like to have my screen screen shotted but my main problem is i dont own a digital cam my other phone is a p1000 so if anyone here is from the philippines and near manila or quezon city just give me a pm and we may make meet for you to get screenshots of my screen :) thanks :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] EarlZ:
Without any confirmation from samsung this is clearly a hardware issue affecting all Galaxy Tab 7.7's but the store I got it from told me that they will try to do a pre-testing for me when new stocks arrive, though the darker top/bottom and circles are in all galaxy tab 7.7's Im hoping theres a 1% chance I can get one that is flawless.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Richdog:
Well, after a week of use the only issue I seem to have is the marginal yellowness of grey backgrounds. Other than that, I don't appear to have any burn-in or dark circles, and the screen seems perfect other than that when viewing dark or light backgrounds in a dark room. I certainly don't have anything real to complain about, and as far as Im concerned this tablet is the best thing I have bought in a long time, the size and functionality are simple perfect for me. :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] geogetski666:
i think we should make a list of people with the dark circles and the people who owns the p6800 without the dark circles just a thought so we may tally how many really are having this problem and how many who doesn't have them :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] EarlZ:
Good idea but it would only work if people can contribute pictures on their screens to make the tally a bit more on the objective side and trust me, a lot of people with "good screens" keen to be very aggressive about this issue.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] EarlZ:
Imagine after 2 months of use, that grey will turn into yellow :p

I've updated my OP with more images.

EDIT:

Just saw 2 more brand new Tab7.7's and both have a 'darker' top part which is visible on certain shades of colors like on the market grey or an ICS keyboard theme and animated films. Makes me thing that most of these screens like the S2 have discoloration and people just dont notice is which is good for them but its very noticeable with my use.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Flightless:
@EarlZ

What did I tell you? nobody has every posted their so called 'no-issue' screen with your grey test images because they all see discolorations on the edges or visible lines, Simply put their grey rendering is also 'dirty'. I had mine replaced and got a very acceptable and minimal discoloration on the edges, I can describe it like a red color 'backlight' bleeding effect but its extremely minimal and probably less than 5mm from the edges but I got yellowish burn-in marks again after about 11 days of usage. So Im returning the product this time and I'll be done with AMOLED screens for a while, the burn in on my tab7.7 looks worse than my 2yr old Galaxy S phone. I've been checking out the PLS screens and they are actually good ( Tab8.9 and Tab10.1 ) I recommend you consider the upcoming Note 10.1 or the 11.6 instead if portability is not a number 1 concern.

I've been over a total of 11 Galaxy Tab7.7's and in your post you've been through like 17 and only saw like 1 or 2 that is acceptable, lucky plays a huge part when we are objectively looking for a flawless screen.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] EarlZ:
@Flightless

I understand what you're trying to say, a lot of people either think the discoloration is part of the UI or they simply dont notice it since it is not that severe on their ends. I've seen 2 more Tab7.7's yesterday at the mall, one had a very severe yellow discoloration that it was even visible on an all white image, the second one was great no visible discoloration on store light conditions but greys looked like graphing paper aside from that the screen on that unit was awesome, it only affected the grey loading screen on the market as far as my testing went.

Luck does play a huge part in getting a screen that is with in specifications or something that you would expect on a $750 device.

I am actually considering the Note 10.1 or the rumored 11.6 at the expense of portability and black levels.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] aaronv20:
I had been returned my tablet from Negri Electronics aftre submitting to their RMA evaluation and they said it wasn't considered a Manufacture defect, and its common among Amoled screens...Y'all be the judge (sorry about the white out, i mistakenly took the photos on top of business docs). Im in the process of trying to get this matter re-accessed.

Hello,

I have problem with speaker - every time when I call or someone call to me and i answer phone, speaker automatically is turning on. I can turn it off, but I have to do it every time.

Software update / factory reset don't help... What can I do? It harware fault?

Might be a hardware fault.

Sensor or accelerometer.

Maybe worth getting it checked by HTC if you already factory reset and it didn't help.

Problems began when one time I charged battery via usb connected to pc. But with headphones works fine.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] synaesthetic:
Android is notorious--at least in my opinion--for having nowhere near enough granularity in the volume control. With only fifteen steps in the Media volume, music is often either thunderously loud or far too quiet, with no happy medium.

Sure, I did what most folks do and used MusicFX/DSPManager equalizer to boost volume across the board slightly, but while it gives me a decent volume for most of my music, it doesn't solve the problem, it just bandaids it. Each volume increment is too great a leap.

I did notice that a Nexus S ROM, AOSP+, had this mod at one point and I was wondering if it was possible to make a universal CWM-flashable zip that would enable a Galaxy Nexus running an AOSP ROM to gain the benefit of having more granularity in the volume control.

I'm also wondering why the hell Google thought only 15 steps was a good idea...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] doubleperfect:
I'd like this too.

It's not just Android, I find many phones and mp3 players don't provide enough steps in volume.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Meltus:
You can change the amount of incall volume steps by altering "ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps=" in the build.prop to whatever you want (not tried this in ICS though, it might be different), but I don't think changing the amount of system volume steps would be that easy, it would probably have to done from source.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] synaesthetic:
It's the number of steps in the Media volume I want to change. In-call volume needs to be turned up all the way in order for me to hear it, anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tristan202:
Check here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1411317

Use that myself, and it works fine.

However in our roms it's called array_9.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] synaesthetic:
Would this potentially break the screen-off volume controls to skip tracks? I'm game to give it a shot myself later on, but it'd be nice to know if it interferes with any other mods.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] just4747:
This is exactly what I want (for AOKP ROM hehe). I was at the gym listening to Google Music with headphones and kept going between two volume levels..one was too loud and the other too quiet, no perfect medium. Such a stupid thing of Google to overlook.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ajftl:
Or we need voodoo
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tristan202:
No, it doesn't affect the volume rocker track skip.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] synaesthetic:
I've modded the framework.jar file but I haven't actually put it in yet, because I've noticed something else that's rather odd. My GN will more often than not bump up two volume notches every time I press the volume key!

I'm not really sure what's going on here. Maybe I need to reboot, but when I press up or down on the volume rocker, about 80% of the time it moves by two steps rather than just one.

Edit: Applied the modified framework.jar. No problems so far, but my volume key still seems to skip two steps (though now the steps are half the size) after the first press. There's a pattern to it. The first press of the key will only increment once, but all subsequent presses in the same direction will increment twice. So if you have the volume set at 15/30 and press up once, it'll go to 16/30, but if you press again, it'll go to 18/30 instead of 17/30, and continue to go up by two every time until you press Volume Down. Pressing Volume Down at 18/30 will reduce it to 17/30, but then any subsequent Volume Down presses will decrement by two.

This is annoying, though it does seem to explain why I was fairly easily able to find a happy median volume on my Nexus S with 15 volume steps, but never quite was able to on the GN without a lot of ****ery. Because when I'm pressing the damn volume keys, it's not always only incrementing by one! >.<

Though now with the 30-step volume applied, the "skip two" effect is basically nullified. Still, I'd like it to work properly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tristan202:
I will try and look into it later today when I get home. I will take a look at the source and see if any other values control the increments.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] synaesthetic:
Just wanted to let you know that before you start plowing through a lot of code, the "skip a step" volume key bug is related to a mod included in the ROM I'm using, the mod that allows you to skip tracks by long-pressing the volume key while the screen is off.

Disabling that functionality immediately restored the volume keys to normal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tristan202:
Nice to know. Took a look at the AudioService.java file yesterday, but couldn't find anything that could explain the behaviour.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] mzaza:
I've bought the RAZR on 1/1/2012. I really like it's build quality, it's the first android phone that I feel it's more sexy than iPhone and it feel solid in my hands. However only one things makes me worried always while using my phone. The metal or plastic part around the Kelvar back and between the Kelvar and the Camera gets scratches quickly. I mean when I put the phone on my desk and if I accidentally moved it a little bit to the right without holding it up from the desk it gets scratches and I feel the paint looks less in the scratched part. I mean I had before HTC desire and I didn't have to worry while moving my mobile that every time I have to hold it first up from the desk to move it. What's the point of having Kelvar fabrics in the only part which doesn't get intouch with the surface of the desk?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] yyhd:
Hmm...I've honestly had no problems scratching. Haven't gotten a single scratch yet (knocks on wood).
