Right, that's what I read a lot yeah: not really noticable in the light, but quite a lot in the dark. And that's exactly where I plan to watch the majority of (HD) films.

The Note in this video is extremely affected, I'd say:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0a8aIGeLERg

I really blame Samsung for being such d*ckheads to release an (imo) unfinished device.

Does anyone know if it's the same on the Gnex, since I can't really find the same issue. Other than the purple screen, black splotches, banding. Those are usually really visible when screen brightness is all the way down.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gideonMorrison:
There is definitely truth to that. Is your GNote not affected when viewing videos in pitch darkness?

Would you mind posting image of gamma level?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joe2316:
I can give you my experience. Video matters to me too.

Early Gnote (Dec 11). Black crush on even high quality files when there is a dark scene (Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance mkv 2.1Gb 720p).

I use sunfilter to increase the background from black to a more grey colour. This works well in alleviating the issue.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indie:
Here you go. It still does cut at 4 but like I said its not so bright at 4 and then goes blacks. Its much dimmer on the left side than previous notes. One image is when viewing in normal lighting and you simply cannot tell of any black crush issues.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3mL:
Okay guys here's my gamma test taken in complete darkness.

From what I can see, I cannot experience any black clipping - when watching Iron man, Glee or Avengers on Youtube.

I did watch 'em all in the same room & darkness as I photographed the gamma test.

I would be glad to capture it on video but my old Canon A560 ain't just up to it. :o

Edit: Oh yeah I had to photo taken with ISO HIGH, couldn't see the screen on auto.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zen0s:
Thanks! Yeah definitely notice darker gamma level than mine.

This problem makes me wanna just sell this phone seeing how I can't get any warranty repair from USA... -_-

wow perfect screen, even though it does cut off 0-3 yours has best shades from 4-21... I envy u...

wtf this pisses me off even more!!! I'm starting to hate this gnote!!!

Just to be clear, it cuts at 3 and below.

Here you go. Glee video is up

Okay thanks for that. :)

It seems we've got about the same gamma values, is there any other static image we can try our gamma levels with? Or any video with abnormal amount of clipping on other notes? Except for the Glee video.

I just talk to amazon.com and they made one time exception returning this phone after 3 months but only 80% refund though(losing $40 o well) I'm going to order gnote from expansys-usa to see if I get better one... Please god hopefully I get a good one. Wish me luck I'm going to need it :/
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Well analyse it properly only on certain quality you get the black clipping.

Other users reported on different video players no black clipping, so its related to software, or driver, kernel utilisation I think.

For the harcore, my analyses is not conclusive, but kernel and voltages (undervoltages) may have something to do with it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zen0s:
You could try iron man 2 sample. Not sure if its still on xda forum, I think taken down due to copyrights. Scene where iron man rescues pepper in the end and lands on top of the building. On lots of gnote looks really bad nothing but chunks of pixels :(

I really hope when I get this new gnote it will look clean. If not I'm going to say fk gnote and get s3.

Mine looks good on the rooftop scene. My other notes were really poor. That scene will really show a bad note straight away.

Is this the clip you're speaking of? It looks great on my note, the only problem is that the quality is bad and low frame rate, but I've got that issue on my computer as well.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zen0s:
No not this scene. This scene actually does look pretty decent on my note too except for around the rocks and black iron man.

The scene that is good to test is near the end of the movie. I took couple screenshots of it they look terrible.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gideonMorrison:
How exactly do they look terrible, as I don't see it...:confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zen0s:
Are you viewing them through gnote? :/ the way you are seeing it is normal but on my screen there are pixellation all over the ground, sky and on iron man :( it's a screenshot of the movie so the faulty issue won't show on other monitors or devices.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gideonMorrison:
Ah, righto. No I was actually viewing it on my HP 2710m ;) I'm still deciding between the Gnote and the Gnex... I wish I could just make the 'right' decision.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zen0s:
Gnote is amazing phone no doubt. Especially S-pen came in super handy many many times and playing games and watching movies on this 5.3'' screen just can't compare to any of the phone out there BUT!! This is a big

BUT

! when there is lame ass pixels just poking at your eye balls whenever there is dark part of images/videos because of lack of QC on screen calibration... it just drives you NUTS! and end up hating this phone :((

I wish you the best whichever you decide to go with, if you go with gnote best luck to you! I let u know how my expansys-usa purchase goes haha
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3mL:
To be honest those screens look kinda **** on my computer monitor.

Especially the first and third picture.

Is it screens from a high res version?

I just posted as a reference to which part of IM2 to view on gnote.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gideonMorrison:
Doesn't look particularly high-res. However, I don't see any black clipping, which is most important.

Any news?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fida khan:
I THINK I MIGHT HAVE GOT IT GUYS. My screen had SOME black crush on it but i was convinced it had something to do with my settings. Today , i changed that STUPID setting in in - settings / brightness that is : ANALYZE SCREEN SETTING AND ADJUST SCREEN LCD AUTOMATICALLY - i don't know the full name for it. Anyway , i Un-checked that setting ( it's in the brightness settings ) and I'm getting NO BLACK CRUSH / BLOCKINESS etc. Please try unchecking it and report back. Good luck lads .
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CONTACTMC:
R u sure? I have tried every setting possible, still get black crush. Check your screen in a dark room.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indie:
The setting has no effect on black crush

That`s one wild video, i used youtube downloader on my notebook at 720p and copied it to my note, i set my brightness to auto and played it back in a totally dark room, and it looked great no black crush or anything.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fida khan:
Sorry guys if it didn't work out with settings change. I factory reset my note about a dozen times when i updated to stock ICS on unbranded note 3 network ..cos of silly things like my samsung account wasn't registering or this or that.

Anyway the point is that im sure in , err, one of those resets i didn't have the (very ) slightly lower quality video that i have have experienced since my last (ahem) factory reset. I honestly can't be bothered to reset again and go through the nightmare of not having something not register correctly ( even if it's insignificant like the Samsung account not registering - you need that for services like Samsung Apps etc).

So if you guys are willing to take the plunge and do a full factory reset ( delete internal mem etc as well) it just might help. It might not tho but with thinking about if it's really bad blacks .

Also , quality video is not affected ie HD video. If you do get the problem in quality video then you've got a problem .
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gideonMorrison:
Does that count for everyone? I mean has there never been HD black crush? ;-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BPHC:
I use cm9 ROM and applied themes, those problems go away in phone such as background, leaving me very satisfied with my Note, but the problems are still there in movies and pictures.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fida khan:
When i watch HD quality video or any quality video ( that includes most videos on YouTube) i hardly notice any problems in viewing. But and this is a BIG but , the problem is really only apparent in a totally dark room. I mean a video might be perfectly viewable in light NO black crush / black BLOCKINESS but in a dark room bang its there. Try some 20 minute cheap quality Batman cartoons in VEOH. It's there . But Im trying to err Condition myself to not be too bothered. The Porno guys might have something to say about this though...

It's like there's some crazy static in the borders. Is everyone experiencing this, or did I just get a particularly bad one?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daws:
I can only see 4-21 in Dynamic and Standard screen modes but when I switch to Movie screen mode I can see 3-21. Not sure if this makes a significant difference to the "black crush" effect I sometimes see when viewing darkish videos in a darkened room.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tinderbox (UK):
I dont think that test works at all, 1-4 is totally black for me, and i have virtually zero black crush, my previous note had it really bad and 1-4 was black on that one as well.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] guizzy:
You're not alone, I get the same with Max Payne, with GTA3, occasionally with Osmos HD... Some games are fine, others aren't.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cetindk:
I was having the same issue when I got the ICS update to my HTC EVO 3D. I contacted Rockstar and this is what they are telling me:

"I was talking to some people here in the office and they said that we have had previous problems with sound on the Ice Cream Sandwhich with GTA III Mobile. It looks like as of now there isn't a direct fix. You may want to revert back to your previous OS to fix the issue.

I'm really sorry for the inconvenience"

So yeah. Its all about the game and I dont think an update is coming for this issue. Not right now at least...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Alcoholic:
Yeah. I have this problem and it's really annoying. Only seems to happen when playing quality sound games like GTA. Doesn't happen in scramble free.

I called HTC support and they said it's because their speakers are too small. :rolleyes:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cetindk:
No its not beacuse of HTC, its because of Rockstar and their programming. I was playing without any issues when I was running Andoird 2.3.4, but when OTA ICS update came, the crackling started. Its not becuase of the speakers, its all about the game.

I never tried GTA3 after the update, but it was fine for me when I was on 2.3.4, didnt had any issues, it was running without any issues just like Max Payne.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] guizzy:
I'm happy to confirm that this issue stopped for me after installing the stock Asia 2.23 ROM. :good:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v1hypersg:
hi,

my S3 and my colleagues's S3, when we receive sms or missed calls,

the LEDs does not have consistency,

mine is white but there are some background color like slightly orange and yellow but my colleagues is jus pure white

then for orange, mine always shows like a circle with 3 quadrants of different colors but my colleagues only show 1 color,

is my set fault or this is because of the way the phone displays color but if it is so, then both phones would be showing same instead of distinct difference, right ?

can anyone share their experience ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cba1986:
You can download lightflow from the marker to test the LED. With that app you can test a variety of colours.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Afaik there is a revision 1 and revision 2 of the i9300 (international) around with revision-2 only having slight design changes to prevent some issues.

The phone has several distinct LED's which, when mixed together, display the color of your choice. However several colors which are not native (meaning which are not directly displayed by a single LED) mixing together doesn't really give the intended result but a confusing "mess" of colors.

My best guess is that, if your friend's S3 really only shows a single color-point, he got a revision where they either moved the LED's very close together or replaced them by multi-color LED's.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AMoosa:

Hi today i've flashed the new 6.1.1 rom from android revolution i tried many times to wipe istall with no mods change kerner (franco r9) but the

battery drain issues still is here i've tried to reflash the 6.0 but battery drain is still here.. yesterday i haven't no issues with 6.1 but

today when I installed the 6.1.1 the battery drain problem is facing me i tried the 6.1 with full wipe of course with no results.. the thing is

stange because 10% at time it drain me for example i'm at 60% i let the phone in sleep for 20/30 min then i unlock che phone 60 % is still there

or 59% but if i call o use internet in about 1 -2 min the battery will drastically drain 2/3 % at minute or so.. how can i resolve this issue?
[HTC One X] audiobookman:
new icons coollllll

Anyways, have you filled your sd card up by anychance?

i ask as i notice massive battery drains if i have less that 1gb left on the card, the phone becomes hot and sluggish.

it runs slower than android 1.5 on the g1, and is impossible to use. once i managed to delete the files it took my phone about a hour to stabilize again.

just a thought
[HTC One X] rajitsingh:
Wipe all caches and then wipe your battery stats.

Then give your phone a few charge cycles for the battery to stabilize. Things will definitely improve.
[HTC One X] raxiel:
i'm not filled the sd card and ok i can try to wipe all caches (already did about 10 times .. lol but why 2 days ago with 6.1.0 all worked fine and yesterday when i flashed the 6.1.1 battery drain is heavy and even if i go back to 6.1.0 battery drain still persist.. it's strange very strange..
[HTC One X] Goku80:
you must have something running in the background which is keeping your phone awake even when your phone is screen off. go to the thread here download the app and fully charge your phone again and use it as normal and keep checking the app specially in the partial wakelocks and see what drains the battery the most..it will be the first thing on the list.

and then when you check the screenshots post them in that thread to get some more help and explanation on what is eating your battery
[HTC One X] raxiel:
i'll try with the app but the thing is strange because i've the same apps installed than before this happening

hi,if your android rooted,try "One Power Guard" download from onexuan.com,It can help you extend battery life .

Hi all.

I have started this thread for all users. And mainly newbies.

Now when i say newbies i dont mean anything bad, in a way i mran people eho are new to the nexus and are overwhelmed by all these great roms and devs. (Max respect to all you great devs)

If you are hoping that i will say....this rom is the best......or that rom is the best, you will not find that here...

I am what they would say a "crack flasher" and have flash most of the gsm roms (not all, so devs if i dont mention your rom its because ive had no experiance with it) anyone feel free to post there opinions.

Right lets start.

I am splitting these up in to groups.

Customization (obvious customize hell outa it...not as good battery.

Balanced. Fair customization fair battery.

Stock (ish) pretty much stock less customization. Good battery.

Stock. As close to stock as possible great battery.

I set it it out like this as its my opinion.

Right then, lets really begin this time.

From, the top.

Customization

You have aokp, liquid smooth and black ice, i repeat there may be more that i have not tried.

These 3 roms will give you as much customization as the devs can think of and cram them in there. I find that these have the worst battery. (That does not mean terrible, but just compared to others.

Balanced.

Cyanogen mod 9, eagles blood, gummy. These roms give an average user a good bit of customization and pretty good battery.

Stock (ish) only one i have experianced is bugless beast. I hate stock rom for one reason, wich is no wifi toggles etc. Bugless beast will gives me the feel of stock (wich i love) but with those features.

Toggles aren't the only feature but its what stands out to me most. Also offers great battery life.

Stock

Android revolution hd

This is a great rom for the people who want completely stock but better performance than stock.

Offers really great battery life.

There is one section i missed out as i didnt know what to call the section. The rom that belongs in this unknown section is........BAMF

i have had little experiance with this rom but my opinion is....

This is a unique rom. Well thought out. It dosent look like most of the others. Its set out diferant and offers good customization and pretty decent battery life.

And thats all, i know there are other roms i have missed out but i want to list the ones i have experianced personally.

Please no haters as i have put a lot of effort into this post.

Hello

I currently own an Xperia Live with walkman which I upgraded to 4.0.4 ICS and rooted.

I'm interested on using custom ROMs so I need to unlock the phone's bootloader in order to install custom kernels.

In the service menu of the phone, rooting status says:

Bootloader unlock allowed: NO

I've read on other threads that this means that the phone also has a network lock, so even if I use the test point method to unlock, I won't be able to use fastboot mode.

However on the SIMLOCK menu of the service menu, all locks are disabled (And I confirmed it by installing another sim from a different phone company).

¿How can I unlock the bootloader (for free, hopefully), and will it work on fastboot mode?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ginryu:
I would advise you to try and go to fastmode connecting the phone to the computer while off and holding the volume up key, the notification led should turn on blue that means that you will have no problem flashing custom kernels but you will need to unlock the bootloader using the test point method.

Also you can double check if the boot loader is really locked in the service menu, software info, under the s1 Boot Version you will find something like this: 1241-3656 r9A029 the letter "r" here refers to the state of the bootloader the lower case means it's unlock meanwhile the capital "R" means its locked.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
He can't use fastboot, because Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No.
