Reasons for my suspicion that ASUS is running the display outside the specs to achieve 600-nit brightness.

1. I have two burn out TF-101 LCD displays both showing burnt mark on LED part of the circuitry. (I will show pics as soon as XDA allows me to post)

2. HannStar, the OEM supplier, does not even make any 10.1" 600-nit display.

3. High display defect rate for the TF-101 display.

I just rooted my AT&T HTC One X today which installed SuperSu. As recommended I also unlocked the bootloader while I was at it. After I unlocked the bootloader it restarted and booted up as if I just bought the phone. SuperSu is no longer there. Im confused, is this supposed to happen? I didnt mean to wipe all of my apps and everything.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
Unlocking the bootloader wipes your phone.

But you should still be rooted just install superuser.apk from the play store.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rohan32:
When you unlock your bootloader you lose all your apps. Just install SuperSU again from the market and you should be in business again.

Ok I have taken my first step as a droid user, My epic 4g touch is now rooted :D

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fryingpan0613:
The next step is to never call it a Droid again, this isn't Verizon.

Find a gingerbread ROM and read carefully.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lambohoos:
I would suggest going to the Dev thread and read about the different ROM's out there. Another suggestion is to look at QBKings library of videos and reviews. But yes... Read ALL the fine print so you don't brick the phone. Good luck!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SixSixAtl:
READ READ READ and learn all the basics before you do ANYTHING else...learn the meaning of rom, kernel, modem, cwm, themes, apps...with Samsung you need to understand the difference between touchwiz based roms and (the other platforms). You also need to understand that gingerbread based roms are built on final full supported stock operating systems and ice cream sandwich roms are currently built from leaked and not final versions so I agree with a previous poster to cut your teeth on GB first.

I would first return to the General section and read Venum's "What is ClockwordMod and how to use it..." so that the very next thing you learn to do is a "nandroid" backup. If you have installed the optional SD card card, you need to pay attention to where your back ups are stored and in general how to navigate your file system in terms of what folders are on the built in "internal" SD vs "external". Always do a nandroid backup, but I also recommend you install and pay for Titanium Backup Pro and yes I said pay (and learn how to use it). You will read a lot of differing opinions on XDA about Titanium Backup, but it has served me well.

This is only my second post to XDA even though I stumbled across the world of rooting, custom roms, etc. almost a year ago when I began hearing rumblings of Sprint offering the iPhone. I had unresolved bluetooth issues and thought I'd try one more time to search the Internet to find a solution before I gave up on my Epic (which I loved but the bt problem was annoying enough to switch platforms) and that's how I first learned about root access.

The reason this is only my second post in almost a year is because I have never needed to ask a question because I SEARCH AND READ for multiple answers to the same question before I make a move. I always watch qbking77's videos and I NEVER take shortcuts.

So yeah I'm a committed android/google/win7 person...I own an iPad that I bought for my 80yo mother who just wasn't into it and I didn't know I only had 14 days to return it. I use it some but I just don't get these apple people and what all the fuss is about.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gideonMorrison:
So, basically, I'm in the market for a new phone. For a long time I've scavenged the interwebs for all the 'needy info'. But we all know that the black hole called the internet is treacherous... Millions of opinions that seem to do nothing else but contradict each other.

The problem we call black crush. It's doing my head in, as I don't know what to believe anymore. Does every GNote suffer from it and how bad is the problem? After the ICS upgrade, that is. Also, where does this problem occur (video playback, photos/ web)? Certain movie formats/codecs (low quality xvid vs h264mkv for example?) I like to watch movies on my phone, so it's a big thing for me.

I'm deciding between the GNote and the Gnex (not sure if the Gnex suffers from the same issue)...

So, bottom line, does every GNote suffer from this problem and how bad is the problem realistically? (A lot of stuff gets greatly exaggerated on the web sometimes...)

Thanks for your time.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zen0s:
In my opinion problem is huge, and yet no fix from Samsung. I'm the same way I love watching movies on the phone especially on gnote's big screen but black crush issue totally ruins it. Everytime there is dark scene I get so distracted by all the pixellations, it's really hideous. Funny thing is I don't ever see this problem viewing pictures (do notice pixellation on wallpapers though) or games, only movies... It's really a shame. I have tried every types of movie formats, nothing works. ICS update did improve color banding but that's about it.

I have heard gnex has same screen issues but I can't tell for sure since I don't own one. If I were you I would get galaxy s3 or wait till gnote2.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TempusFudgeIt:
Time for one of those contradictions! I have had Note since last November and never had pixelation issues (black crush) on GB or ICS. I do see some of the greyish wash on shadows, but found that turning off the option for Outdoor Visibility in the video settings solved most of that.

So I am one of the lucky ones, others have had issues and have posted on youtube about the problem.

I watch lots of movies and would recommend the Note. Best thing for you to do is to go to your local phone store and try it. It does seem that some screens are better than others so if you purchase from a local store you can try the phone first and return it if it doesn't work to your satisfaction.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3mL:
I've had my Note for about a week, and I'm loving it!

About the Black Crush problem I, myself can only see it in low quality files in both GB and ICS. I'm currently watching 720p episodes of Rome and I cannot see any black crush, I also watched a couple of Game of Thrones 1080i files without any problem at all. In fact, I rather watch it on my note screen than my 46" Panasonic Plasma since the colors is so vibrant and everything is super-sharp! :D

TL;DR Black crush is noticeable on low quality files & youtube clips. Not on high quality files such as 720p or higher nor on, for example The Hobbit trailer on Youtube.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zen0s:
Try viewing this image on your gnote. Most people with black crush issues will be able to see 4-21 with no gradual gradations. 0-3 is pitch black.

On normal screen, you be able to see gradual gradations 1-21, 0 being pure black.

Careful buddy! You are bordering on being offensive - saying that those of us that are happy with our video quality don't know what we are talking about.

I watch around 90 minutes of video every week day on public transport and have never had an issue - that's over 200 hours and many TV shows and movies of varying quality - but usually HD - with no conversion.

As I posted above - best to check out the phone at a local store - you can make your own mind up then. I would recommend this phone to anyone that is not concerned about it's size. Each to his own.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indie:
I had 4 notes and seen 3 others. These all had black crush. The 2 latest notes made in march this year have a 90 % improvement. During normal use in day or under normal lighting to dim lighting the left side has a gradually decline black. You cannot tell their is an issue. In pitch black it still cuts off at 4. The old notes were clear to see the cut off even during normal lighting. I think they Must have sorted the issue In the newest notes but I could be wrong.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tinderbox (UK):
I just watched the Avengers 720p trailer, from youtube down-loader, and i saw none or very little "black crush/clipping/pixelation" , there is a problem with the very bottom of the video, a horizontal line, you would think it was a vhs conversion. :D

Now this is my second Note, the first one had very bad black crush, large areas of moving and static pure black in dark/shadow areas of movies.

My new note is a newer version than my last one, so maybe samsung is working on the problem behind the scenes, as according to a lot of note owners they denigh there is any problem, and they say this is the first time they have heard of this issue :confused: , looks like they dont want a massive recall.

I have heard some note owners have had to swap up-to five time before they get a good note.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indie:
I was one of those. I sent Samsung 6-7 letters and even changed my screen on my 2nd note after 5 days and still had the issue. After 3-4 months of constant talking to Samsung Head Office they agreed to change my note and I got my wife's note on a T mobile upgrade. Both manufactured in March April and these have no issues. I know when I say there's definitely an improvement as I was very active on the Screen Issue thread with my other notes. A screen change will not solve the issue from my experience. They have tinkered something within the note to improve the black crush issue.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gideonMorrison:
Cheers for the extensive input, guys. However, the contradiction is (sadly) also strong with this one. Varying from only HD quality videos will play well, to units that were made before March are more faulty than newer units, to no problems at all...

Perhaps it's wise to state your devices' manufacture date, along with your experiences, to shed some light in this mess, provided by Samsung™.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CONTACTMC:
I am on my second Note, both have the issue. It is not in your face or really noticable in nornal light, watch a movie in a darkened room and bang its in your face.

Its like there is a big gap between 3 and 4 on the test image with no fade, and when a movie tries to show a shade between the 2 levels the Note does not know what to do, so you get the black and grey blocks ( the closest it can get to the real shade that should be displayed) .
