Hi,

Has anyone been having issues with color banding problems with color gradations?

I've compared the same apps using my Note with my Skyrocket. The Note seems to have a very serious banding issue while the Skyrocket displays them fine. (See attached images)

I will go to the store and compare to another Note just to make sure before I return it for a new one.

Skype App (See Blue area)

Market App (See gray area in the middle)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] andrawer:
Wow. I don't have that issue on mine...if i were u i would head straight to at&t for a swap.

EDIT: Correction...Looked my Market screen again this morning and now I also see the diagonal banding.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] s1mpd1ddy:
I have the same issue.... Should I swap?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Bataga:
Same here
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] s1mpd1ddy:
I thought it's typical because of screen rez

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] macked:
As you can see in my post above, it apears to be a software issue not an issue with the screen. The software is telling the display to look like that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mintu123:
them apps are not made for this device.u can use rom toolbox and lower ppi to 300

should fix some of these app issue.

You don't have the same issue when you open the market? Can you take a screenshot and upload it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] garypix:
how come it displays fine on the skyrocket?

Going to Best Buy to check out a display unit.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] macked:
Because they are different phones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] s1mpd1ddy:
Skyrocket is a different resolution... Much less.

That's my guess haha
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Synner12:
This is one of the problems we are going to see on this device. These graphics were not made to stretch as far as the note stretches them. As more HD phones come out, we should see less and less of this. As pioneers, however, we'll have to deal with it for now.

It's the same reason phone apps look bad on tablets, and why tablet versions are eventually released.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] macked:
That's why I get suspicious when someone says their phone is different and it looks fine.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] GRishi:
Here is what Skype looks like on my phone.

Doesn't seem to have as bad banding as yours.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Synner12:
An easy way to tell is to put a picture or graphic with similar tones to the graphic in question into your gallery. If it's a hardware issue, you should see similar banding. If it's simply trying to scale a low res picture too high, you won't.

I remember when the iPad first came out people were installing all kinds of iPhone apps on it and them complaining about how they looked. That's why they put that little "2x" button in the bottom corner. The apps would default to iPhone size unless you hit the 2x button, in which case the app looked bad. Then they started developing tablet versions of the apps and presto, problem gone.

---------- Post added at 10:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 PM ----------

Don't get me wrong, there probably are some units with bad displays. That happens with every phone that comes out. I'm just saying it's not likely a systemic hardware issue. By all means, if people are getting better performance than you, go see about a replacement. But if we are all in a similar boat (like the guy that posted a similar thread showcasing banding in the notification pulldown), it's likely a problem with the images, not the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ryfiphone:

Try this photo and let me know the results in low light.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Synner12:
I wonder how effective it would be to take the stock images that are most affected (pull down notification, for instance), upscale them and hit them with the gradient tool in photoshop. Maybe if I get some time I'll give it a shot.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wanderfowl:
I'm considering buying a Transformer prime (with keyboard dock) as a replacement for my Xoom, but considering I'm also going to use it for some applications which require Linux, I want to make sure of a few things. All of this assumes that I'll be rooting the little guy, and likely s-off as well, and I'm fine if the answer is "we're on it, but not yet"

1) Can one load an Ubuntu (or better still, Arch) Linux desktop on it, with the lapdock? I'd be pretty lightweight (XMonad, likely), but I'd _love_ be able to have mutt working on my tablet.

2) If so, can one access the files on the Android side of the device from within that Linux environment?

3) Similarly if so, to go into Linux, do you need to reboot the device, or just do something within Android to pull it up?

Thanks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hyee:
perhaps

None of these things can be done right now. Or rather, you wouldn't want to do any of them. Give it about a month and all things shall be done.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] barryflanagan:
Buy your Prime and stand in line like the rest of us wanderfowl :)

This is exactly why I bought the Prime. I've been running Linux using the vnc chroot method and it works well (actually surprisingly well) but dual boot is my aim. Actually, it was my aim until Canonical's "Ubuntu on Android" announcement the other day! Now I want it ALL
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wanderfowl:
It sounds like neither of you think that what I outlined above was unreasonable. Which is awesome! And I just found out about the SD slot on the Keyboard with SDXC support. I'm delighted by all of this! Thanks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hyee:
To be honest, your 3rd requirement is pushing it I feel. When dual booting becomes an option, and I don't know of anybody who doubts that it will, I don't think you'll be able to seamlessly switch between the various operating systems. You will most likely have to do it through some sort of splash screen after rebooting.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Legion6789:
I've tried following instructions for replacing the boot animation that say to go to system\media and replace bootanimation.zip. This doesn't seem to do anything. First, I don't have a bootanimation.zip file in that directory, just qmg files. And when I put bootanimation.zip in that file it has no effect.

Is there something I'm missing? I'm rooted, running the stock rom.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gcrutchr:
I believe you need a kernel which supports custom bootanimations. Try ChainFire's kernels on XDA.

ChainFire's Kernels
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Questions = Q&A

Bootanimation stock is QMG

To add a custom boot animation you require a kernel that supports it .

You would be far better off reading the FAQS and Guides before attempting to do stuff that may brick your phone and leave you with no warranty .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Legion6789:
meh, not worth the trouble to replace the kernel. It's strange that the four tutorials I looked at that detail how to install a custom boot animation never even mention needing anything other than root access. No mention of kernels or custom roms, etc.

Did anybody ever figure out the qmg format? I saw a couple threads on it, but they're from 2010 and never seem to get beyond decoding the file header.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
No free editor found for QMG files .Though at least one modified QMG posted on XDA .

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoodratchandler:
I used AdamOutler 's guide to root and put a custom ROM on Captivate 2.2 found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1012769

And everything went swiftly. :) AT THIS POINT, I MADE A NANDROID BACKUP

I then wanted to step up to an Ice Cream Sandwich ROM, which was the main purpose of my rooting in the first place. So, I downloaded the ROM found in this forum, as it is the most popular amongst the forums, so to seem. I found it here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1363760

Well I downloaded the ROM straight from my phone on the browser, then put it on the Root of my internal memory.

I booted into recovery, Factory Reset/Wipe Cache Partition/Wipe Dalvik Cache.

Went to install .zip from SD card, then clicked on install the ICS ROM.

Began to seem as if it was updating, then the phone shut off, started bootlooping.

No big deal I thought, just boot into recovery, right? I booted into recovery. It went from the Red CWM that i had seen before, to a Blue one. :confused:

I selected my nandroid backup, and it gave me all sorts of errors.

Got to the point where CWM was acting as if it could even find where it was supposed to work from?

Now I have the Phone>!<Computer on the black screen when I try to turn on. :eek:

Anyone else ever had this problem, or could someone tell me what went wrong? Not in a huge rush as this is just my development phone, but do I need to go ahead and use the Odin3 One Click to do a full complete restore or is there any way of saving what I had?

Thanks guys, God Bless. :o

LOL OOPS thought i was in the dev section.... ignore..help below.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
Different kernels have different colour recoveries. kernels change with rom.

Different CWM version recoveries are incompatible.

Almost anyone that has flashed a samsung galaxy phone has seen that screen, and it is correctly written " Phone /!\ PC " (you can choose to underline the

/!\

if you want to be fancy). it is called the "soft brick screen" hint hint.. go search.

yes

yes. restore with same kernel you used to back it up.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoodratchandler:
Very good responce...however after odin3 one clicking back to stock 2.1 eclair, I lost my clockwork mod folder that was on the internal SD, of course. Rookie mistake, I should've definately copied it on to the external SD card. Thanks for informing me of proper terminology. Also, after downloading rom manager and flashing, booting recovery, I can only access cwm through the rom manager, the three button fix doesn't work.

Why was this moved? I posted in general..
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
because you have a question/problem

rom manager is only used with 2.1 (for captivate). doesnt work on 2.2 or 2.3.X or 4.0.X

in all newer versions of android we "bake" cwm into the custom kernels we package into the custom roms. so there is no stock recovery and you dont need the update.zip.

dunno why you would flash all the way back to 2.1... EWWW.

in the dev section there is a sticky called odin master collection. use a newer stock rom. the master collection also has stocks versions, pre-packcaged with a custom cwm kernel so you can skip a step of getting it after going back to stock.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sailzfast:
Do we know why this happened in the first place? Incompatible kernel? Is there a guide somewhere for moving from GB to ICS?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aww.W.T.F?:
I thought you had to have GB bootloaders before you flashed any ICS roms ? I know I've read that ,then again I've read 10,000 threats and sometimes it becomes mind numbing.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoodratchandler:
Do you not have to flash back to 2.1 after having these problems? Right now my phone is at the soft brick screen, no button combo working. Not recognized by the computer either. I'm heading out to radio shack and make a USB jig in a bit. I'd love to just flash straight up to a gingerbread ROM if I can possibly get this thing in download mode. Anybody help a brotha out!

Edit: the sim is not activated, I just run it off Wi-Fi because big red is my carrier. This is my development phone. So I can't just KIES update to whatever the newest is.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Any firmware should work, no need to go all the way to eclair...just flash gingerbread.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyco722:
Don't think its been mentioned yet but when going from 2.2 to ICS, you have to flash the rom twice to get out of the bootloops. Sounds like you were at that point but when you flashed your nandroid instead of the ICS rom again, your phone must not have liked it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kangi26:
Not all ICS ROM's require GB bootloaders. I ran THS, and am now on vibranturk's AOKP and I came straight from 2.1
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoodratchandler:
I think the issue was you're supposed to flash them twice. Well that fixed it for me. I dkbhave the gingerbread boot loaders now though
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rexthunder:
I went from bone stock Froyo 2.2 straight to THS ICS with no problems whatsoever. So some ICS Roms doesn't need GB bootloaders.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rpgdev:
I'm on the same situation as the original poster: I'm on andromeda3 and now I want to upgrade to ICS. Right now my captivate has cwm 2.5.1.2 can I flash any ICS mod from there or do I need to do something else?

[Vibrant General] dougc405:
Just an observation. This probably belongs in the development thread, but I don't have 10 posts yet.

I installed Kiss 2.2 kernal after installing ICS Passion R13.

After a reboot, I got a quick lock. GPS locked ok after periods of deep sleep over the course of two days.

Then I turned off GPS, which is a normal battery-saving move. It seems that if GPS is turned off (via the notification bar) and later turned back on after deep sleep, GPS does not work. GPSTest and GPS Status could see or lock on any satellites.

Second experiment was to reboot with GPS enabled indoors, thus not locking onto satellites. After deep sleep, the GPS was able to see and lock in about a minute.

It seems that the GPS will work after deep sleep, but only if the GPS is left enabled. I would be curious to know whether others see this pattern.
[Vibrant General] VibrantThemer:
Have you tried build.prop modification?

Try it out to see if it helps.

In my case, I always managed to make my GPS lock every time (deep sleep or bad dream sleep lolz)
[Vibrant General] dougc405:
I assume that you are talking about this thread?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1447925

I have not tried this. Some of the keys you list don't exist in my build.prop. Is that ok? Should I add them? I will try this, but have to wait until I am near my computer in case something goes wrong.

It also appears that the GPS stops tracking as soon as the phone sleeps. This is not an issue when using in car mode because the phone does not sleep, but Google Tracks, which I use used while hiking, cycling, etc., does sleep (or at least shuts of the display) while tracking. I tried Google Tracks and it seemed to need to reacquire satellites when waking up the phone. I did not walk far enough to see the effect of that in the recorded track, but I assume that it was not tracking while asleep.

I also noticed the same effect when using GPS Status and GPS Test. If the display shut off, the apps had zero visible satellites when display was powered back on.
[Vibrant General] VibrantThemer:
Yes, that's the post I was talking about.

If the line(s) is/are missing, just add them at the bottom for your convenience in case it does not work.

I don't want to say anything regarding the phone is having a good sleep or having a bad dream (lolz) because I never bothered to checkup on my phone. All I know is that when I need to use my GPS, I just poke my phone with my crooked finger to unlock, select the 2G Only checkbox, select the GPS Satellite checkbox, launch the Google Maps, type the destination address. (run on sentence lolz)
[Vibrant General] dougc405:
The changes to build.prop and the GPS settings in AngryGPS made getting a fix much quicker and more reliable (<30 seconds from cold start). Thanks.

I also had to remove Weatherbug Elite. It has some wierd interaction with the GPS even when all location services are disable in the app. It ssems that it won't let the GPSLocationProvider shut down when the GPS is turned off. BetterBatteryStats showed wakelocks and the CPU could not go into deep sleep. At that point, reenabling GPS had no effect and GPS could not see or lock onto any satellites. Only a reboot cured it. Even if no widget is set up, Weatherbug still fires up, probably because of the Background update feature. I had to completely remove the app to prevent this interference.

Only one more problem and it is preventable. If GPS is on AND phone is plugged in with USB AND I run PowerAmp music player, the CPU run solid at 1000 mhz. Only shutting down PowerAmp, turning off the GPS, and unplugging/replugging the USB cable restore normal operation (lower CPU speeds, sleep). Merely unplugging USB does allow the CPU to run normal, but it pops right back up to 1000 when plugged in again. Wierd.
[Vibrant General] simtel20:
Any other leads?

Vibrant from aug 2010, made the changes but after a sleep the changes to the GPS settings and the libgps.so being added to /system/lib hasn't seemed to have made a difference. After a deep sleep, the gps seems to be dead. "Searching for GPS" appears in the status drawer, and otherwise it's all dead.

What can I do to provide better debugging feedback about this. Does anyone have e.g. a debugging or interposition library to help figure out where this is freezing?

Heck, does anyone have the source to the various GPS libraries being used here so that we can compare what works to what doesn't work for various people?

*edit

I'm completely floored. My GPS came back to life after I got down the elevator leaving work after I posed this. I'm still curious about the source to libgps.so, and I'm honestly not sure it can play a part here since it's not replacing a library in my current /system/lib. If I get some time I may see what symbols are available in it and what library it may/may not be replacing.

I suspect that the change of the supplementary (that's what supl stands for, right?) data and GPS settings have as much to do with this as well. I may try to revert the gps library changes and see if it still works with just the changes made via angrygps. I do know that the build.prop changes did absolutely zero by themselves.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cmucooper:
Has anyone used these? Will the stylus still work with it on? Thanks for any advice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Err0xx:
It will. Unfortunately I hated that screen shield. Looks like piss how it actually has the black at the top and bottom on the shield itself and the anti-glare on the shield makes the screen look grainy; it KILLS the display quality. Much better choices available from SGP, Zagg, or Ringbo. I don't reccomend the iVisor.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cmucooper:
Thing with those other screen protectors is that lines will show from the s pen on the screen protector and that will annoy the **** out of me. I wish otter box defenders were not so freaking huge cause then I would just get one of those
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Err0xx:
SGP and Ringo cases do NOT show lines. They are hard coated. The zagg does but have found it to self heal overnight. I have zagg on now and use the s-pen a LOT. No issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] terra-starr:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mredraider:
Not only does the grain make the screen look blurry, but there are what I'd call cut outs in the pad below the protector for the buttonsand the darned AT&T logo. Very strange when you feel those areas.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] amcl:
I second that. It makes the screen blurry, grainy AND dim.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Aerials:
I agree. After seeing the iVisor on a co-worker's Vivid...the 'grainy' element made me back off wanting to buy this once I get my Note. It didn't help that they decided to still have the at&t branding show at the top....unbelievable...

Plus $25 sticker price on top of that....with like $15 discount?? Haha...overpriced for the grainy element.

But in terms of getting rid of the at&t branding...Would it even be practical to use a black Sharpie to cross it out on top of the applied screen protector??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] planoman:
I will be taking mine back also since I received my SPG Ultra Oleophobic screen protector.

I really like this product but why do they not make a clear one? It is great quality and super easy to put on but the matte look detracts fro the screen. I had it on since Sunday and I could not believe how much better my screen looked after putting the SGP on.

Ivisor, make a clear screen protector!
