[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] psun786:
Many ppl are expecting this phone to perform on par with desktop computer and no wonder they are disappointed!

You are getting black clipping because that particular video source is not optimized for SGN. Why do I have to remind ppl that this is a phone with a mediocre GPU (compare to desktop computer) running on 2500mah battery? The 1.4ghz exynos doesn't support H/W decode on all formats. Any video that rely on S/W decode may experience problem.

Geesh... iphone and ipad doesn't play flash at all despite the fact they are fully capable of. You don't see Apple fans sending back their device for repair.

The artifact is non-exist with any properly encoded h.264 video. The test is simple, go rent either bluray or DVD of the title that you previously had black clipping issue. Rip it to h.264 4000kbps 720p format, I am sure the problem will be gone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] un4seen:
Well... no. No matter the format, clipping is there. It has nothing to do with hw or sw decoders, it's an issue with the screen controller (not the GPU) approximating dark greys to black. It seems to vary between each Note - mine is particularly unlucky, in some dark videos (Eve Online trailers for example) most of the screen is completely black, which makes the video unwatchable. It's equally visible on Youtube, in mpeg4 and h.264, in all resolutions. Personally I don't really care, since I don't watch videos on the Note, but it's not as simple of a problem as you think.

But Note has other issues, for me the biggest is network crashing all the time, no matter which ROM/radio/kernel. I rely heavily on push notifications, and the Note is, in that context, the most unreliable phone I used. It's issues like that (poor software support from manufacturers) that give Android bad press.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bioweb:
You mean like this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQ6KknKi8DA

MiB3 trailer, shot in a completely dark room with a crappy, oversaturated, low resolution, overcompressed iPhone 3GS camera. This clip lost a lot of detail and brightness because of the iPhone cam and still shows no banding whatsoever, the whole trailer looks amazing on my Note's screen. I'm uploading the same clip shot with a slightly better LG Optimus 3D camera.

Edit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lEmfgbkxrI

The grain and pixelization on some parts are caused by the O3D camera, none of that is actually visible on the Note.

Screen brightness is at 100% while the clips were shot, other than a darker looking movie there are no differences in image quality when turning it down to 35%.

Here's what I said in another thread:

Stop this childish complaining, return your phone to get it fixed, try some other roms or just sell your device to someone that's not as picky.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] psun786:
Since I have only my own Note to reference, can't say more about this issue than what I already did.

The SGN I have (bought March 2012) doesn't have this so call clipping during black scene at all. I have a fairly large h.264 library for my ipad. They all played fine, except the picture seems more vivid than my 3rd gen ipad.

For those that got defective unit... good luck with your warranty replacement :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] CONTACTMC:
I got mine replaced, completely new phone, the new 1 one has the same problem. Samsung really need to do something about this. Movies / pictures that look fine on my Nexus s, Pc, tv and my wives Galaxy s 2 have black clipping / block effect on my Note. This was meant to be an upgrade.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Grady Llwyd:
Make a decision, like it or lump it.

At the end of the day, this is the only phone with the "s-pen," it has great functionality and works well for (presumably) about 90% of people. There will always be problems and things that people won't be overly thrilled about.

If you like this phone, awesome!

If you don't like it, either try new ROM's or sell it and get that "perfect" phone - although I suspect it'll be like chasing unicorns.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Techimplant:
U should check out the date of manufacturing on the box of the new one..its the date that matters for ascertaining whether its a new make or not..

N btw mine us going for replacement..i cant live with this color banding crap..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] OrThaDoX:
I've came to know of the background or screen issue after getting my Note.

Perhaps, choosing to leave in denied, I don't really see an issue in my usage.

That being said, currently, I have ONLY TWO ISSUES...

Namely:

1. The phones heats up easily (highest record: 57 Degree Celsius) while running even simple games like Emross War :(

2. Where is our OFFICIAL ICS?...:mad:
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trism:
I got my Xperia Play yesterday and straight out of the box there has been boot animation or anything when I turn the phone on, the only indication I have that anything has happened is a slight vibration. The screen will stay black until I press home, but it's guesswork as to when the phone has booted. I think this issue might be stopping me getting into CWM recovery but I can't be sure. Ideas anyone?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nabeel_Nabs:
Repair/update the firmware via Sony Ericsson Update Service (NOT Sony Ericsson PC Companion).
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biggyhead:
or you can flash it using flashtool and grabbing the ftf file
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trism:
Have gone through the firmware repair/update; still nothing when booting.

@biggyhead; could you point me in the direction of a guide on how to do what you mentioned please?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nabeel_Nabs:
Flashing via flashtool will have the same effect as using SEUS to flash (if it is infact flashing) , seems like a faulty unit, return it and get a replacement.

I still use it in conjunction with AlsaMixer and Imoseyons volume boost in his kernels.

Hi,

For me the latest version (1.9.0.1) of Volume+ works great and with ICS 4.0.4.

Don't forget to tick volume+ in Sound/Music effects...

The sound is really much stronger!There really a difference,if the EQ Presets does not do much,try Custom EQ Settings ant play with it :D

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ovgandroid:
Ok I made a nandroid backup on my s2 Gti9100 a few days ago

I then tried to do a titanium backup and my s2 rebooted, I then recieved fcs from a load of apps constatly making it impossible to do anything. I was barely able to turn off, i had to keep taping ok untill i got to power off window.

Then I booted into cwm, wiped cache partition and dalvic and did nandroid restore, i then booted up, no fcs, but all my apps on sd came up in my app drawer and home screen with that grey android icon saying this app is not installed on your phone!

went to recovery again wiped cache and dalvic and data/factory reset

then restored system and data and still had the same problem!

what do i do

please help

p.s. i have not partitioned anything for use in apps like link2sd, no ex whatever
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZACQ8:
are you doing restore from Advance restore, as you mentioned " then restored system and data....." or from the main restore menu?

Did not you use the Titanium backup for your applications?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Do Not restore System Data is the usual answer to this problem .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZACQ8:
Yes of cosrse, if he is doing his restore from Titanium back up,

but OP's concern is about his Nandroid backup, which is a photocopy of his earlier ROM, NO option to avoid system Data restore unles he goes into the advance restore of CWM....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ovgandroid:
yes i am using advanced restore

and it was titanium backup that caused my problem in the first place, while i was trying to backup

all my settings are stil here aswell as the apps in internal. I think only the apps moved to sd are messed up

could it be a problem with .androidsecure? should i delete this and let nandroid replace it after restore, or does nandroid even backup that?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ovgandroid:
I dont mind what method you think of aslong as I can get back to that point

would it be a good idea to extract app backups out of nandroid using titanium, just an idea, i just saw it in its options

if its complicated please explain as im not a phone expert
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZACQ8:
it is not complicated but a good idea if you have Titanium backup pro (donated version), otherwise you cant...when you selct that option you will automaticaly get prompted the list of applications to install....

By the way why are you selecting advance option for restoring....?

do like this, wipe cache, wipe data fatory reset, and in advance wipe dalvik cache,

go back to Backup and restore select restore at main menu (no advance restore) and select your backup and restore....finish all your stuffs are back....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Yes sorry i thought he wanted to restore his Nandroid backup and follow that with TB restore .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ovgandroid:
I have already tried at main menu and advanced, I get the same result

will extracting from nandroid do the trick? with titanium pro
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZACQ8:
just try....

I dont know while backing up if there was any arror which is causing the problem...can give the treble when you use TB also...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ovgandroid:
will tb replace app stuff in .androidsecure or sit beside taking up x2 space?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ovgandroid:
I went to extract from nandroid in pro and when i select my backup the list is empty, app, data, app+data
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZACQ8:
hmmm, that is why you are not getting your apps back when you do nandroid restore...

your backup was not done smoothly, only your system data backed up well not user apps...bad luck
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ovgandroid:
so ive lost it all?

Should i delete .androidsecure, is it just junk files now?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ovgandroid:
great news!!! turns out all my personal data was kept, I just reinstalled everything and it wae back to normal

p.s. i think the cause of nandroid backup fail was lack of space on my phone, how can i backup to external sd?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
If you use the CWM app you can choose between internal/external SD for the location of the backup.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fzc:
Wipe is not needed when restoring in cwm. hope it helps.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ovgandroid:
so i have reinstalled all my apps, could there be junk or corrupt or duplicate files left on my phone? in androidsecure? or should these fix themselves or been replaced?

Thanks very much for the help! much appreciated :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZACQ8:
why you are so worried about such temporory files...

be happy that now your all apps are back.......as far I know wether you delete such dump files or not will not make any difference,

dont delete the contents of the folder "clockworkmode" especially the "backup" forlder thats all...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ovgandroid:
ok thanks

was just worried because of the size 1.7GB and no apps on sd

but i suppose ill manage

Link to the Go Launcher v3.0beta...I did not make any of this, just wanted to post the link for you guys already using Go Launcher. The beta is very nice....transitions are super smooth now, among other things. It's a nice improvement from the current version.:)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1559317

EDIT: Version updated to 3.0 beta 3
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] itzik2sh:
I hope they give the option to choose folder transition. I hate the new one. Why copy everything from iPhone? The original transition was much faster and aesthetic.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] htaak:
I've been on the beta for a couple of days now and it is very nice. Swipe gestures are expanded, desktop transitions are now usable in app drawer and the app drawer scrolling is way smoother....think Launcher Pro.

I think they are on version 6 right now, and the creators are very active on their thread responding to questions and taking suggestions from people regarding new features that users would still like to see added prior to the 3.0 release. If you have any requests I would think now is the time to give them feedback.;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
The folders look awkward when they open now. I don't think that happened back then.

I've been wanting then to release Sense previews since forever! :O I wonder if they'll ever put that in.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] itzik2sh:
They just published it. As I said, I hate the new folder iphone transition and I stay on v2.85.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] htaak:
Yeah, not a big fan of the new folders but the overall increased smoothness would make it hard for me to go back....that app drawer is like butter now.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] itzik2sh:
V2.87 is out and drawer shortcuts have changed very nicely. Very smooth, giving it a shot regardless of the iphone copycat folder UI.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] htaak:
Yeah, they are making a lot of changes, and most seem to be in response to feedback posted on the main thread. Looks like the 2.88 beta is going to be out shortly.

Like I said before, now is definitely the time to post feedback on their thread.

[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smonic:
The CM7 port has been going for 7-8 months and is still not finished so i think you'll have to wait a similar amount of time for CM9 although it may be slightly quicker because some of the development on CM7 has helped develop CM9. Anyway, this thread is useless and will probably be destroyed by a mod sooner or later. Next time, ask in the CM9 thread or don't ask at all since the developers work in their free time and can't be expected to work 24/7 like robots.

I would like to remove the sense from my rom and replace it with either adw launcher or launcher pro.

Could any one give me tut on how to do this or point me in the right direction.

Danke In Advance.
[HTC Wildfire S] eddiehk6:
try this

written for desire, but the principles should be virtually the same. requires adb and command lines.

sense launcher is normally called rosie.apk. you can delete all other sense widgets too and any other system apps you don't want, just be careful not to delete any system critical stuff.

make sure you have the other launcher already installed (i prefer go launcher personally)

always have a nandroid just in case ;)

you won't get any more internal memory by doing this, just more unused space on system partition, but at least it won't be cluttered with stuff you don't use :)

(i assume you're not s-off, otherwise you could just delete the stuff directly using something like root explorer)
[HTC Wildfire S] lynuxlover:
I am s-off :) i might need to go into more detail .. basically i'm trying to create my own rom but i'm having difficulty removing htc sense and adding my own custom launcher (adw) i've tried it twice but all that happens is i get a black screen after boot with the notification bar and thats it the rom works but with no gui :D
