walk over to this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4311003?start=0&tstart=0 and tell them that you trade a Note II for a new, shiny IP5, they'll fight amongst themselves to take up your offer.
[Galaxy Note II General] toofank:
Dont listen to this dude. Note2 has perfect screen!
[Galaxy Note II General] zkyevolved:
LOL I think the maps app is probably one of the smallest problems Apple has. That will get fixed... But it's iOS is SOOOO dated. It's camera is now taking purple pictures and Apple says "you're taking pictures the wrong way" ... Doesn't that remind of you Antenna gate anyone? The bezel of the i5 is SOOO fragile. TONS Of people are scratching their devices! I'd stay away from the iPhone 5! I had 4 iPhone 4 because of quality control and they kept breaking, and I just got rid of it and got an Android device. I've had the same Note 1 for almost a year now, and I have 0 issues! I'm getting a Note 2 as soon as it breaks the 580 euro mark here in Europe. Not long :D Amazon.de has it for 590 :D

I brought this phone in india 2 days back. I too find the display brightness not very bright when i keep it in max brightness and turn off the Auto Mode. Then tested with Flashlight app keeping the screen in full brightness, My ZTE Blade turns much brighter and Note 2 is not that bright.

Took it to Samsung Showroom and compared with Demo Piece kept there. The Demo piece is slightly brighter than mine but still not near to ZTE Blade.

That apart, i find no issues in Resolution et all. That appears Crispy than Original Note, inspite of Note 2 being less resolution! Thanks to the new pixel arrangement!

Phonearena Review says this is the brightest of all Galaxy Phone and says it even excels in outdoor! Wondering what version they got!
[Galaxy Note II General] Jcossack88:
People are ridiculous...a demo screen is not brighter, and the iPhone 5 does not have a better screen. This is a classic case of people seeing and believing what they want to see/believe.

If you want to go get an i5....then go get one...don't try to come here and say, "well the iPhone 5 is brighter" cuz that (in all fairness) is bull crap. It also has a smaller screen, and a much more expensive ecosystem. Not to mention the hardware/software problems experienced. If somewhere in your brain you feel more like a tech buff with an iPhone, then get it.

And sorry...but a demo screen will not be brighter...that is ridiculous. So, your assuming that Samsung intentionally made the demo screens brighter. Yea, and 9/11 was a government cover up by the Illuminati. If Samsung had the technology to make their demo screens brighter, it would also be included in the retail variant.

Stop spending so much time on tiny little specifications.
[Galaxy Note II General] anonymous572:
ban this idiot please
[Galaxy Note II General] Frank2:
The Note 1 screen is even brighter and white is whiter than Note 2. It is a fact. I have the Note 1 and 2 and I can see the difference.
[Galaxy Note II General] TML1504:
as i've written numerous times: it all depends on your personal "luck of the draw":

seen more then 10 different devices (note1, but will be the same for note2) side by side:

every screen had a different brightness and or tint and or blotches.

this is absolutely normal due to the manufacturing process (lithography, nowadays fine

metal mask and laser-usage which make this better, but not totally good)!

if you want to have a perfect screen you'll have to swap through a few devices!

>> if you are happy with your screen then DO NOT COMPARE!!! ;)
[Galaxy Note II General] niketkumar:
Compare with note 1 side by side then all the stupids ill get the answer and yes I m not apple fanboy
[Galaxy Note II General] fantasytozi:
I can confirm this. I compare my new Note 2 with Note 1, and my friend's S3. Note 2 is dimmer, it's strange cause in GSMARENA review, Note 2 should be brighter.

Besides, I found the screen is way over too much sharpness, dont know why. It's still a beast to me though.

Battery life is awesome, I can get 6h on screen, compare to my old Note 1 and One X 3h on screen max
[Galaxy Note II General] DMax99:
Huh? There much be some hardware problem with your note 2 unit. Mine note 2 screen is definitely much brighter and sharper than my note 1
[Galaxy Note II General] Jamal Ahmed:
Im not going into scientific details..

Heres just a picture.

See the screen comparison you can see yurself.

I found such a comparison between Note 1 and Note 2 too.

Ill just it when i find it...

sent from underwater
[Galaxy Note II General] DMax99:
I have the opposite result to yours
[Galaxy Note II General] veer987:
I agree with the OP. The whites on my screen appear a little beige-ish when held parallel to the eye. Once you tilt it, in any direction you see the pure whiteness. I tried this at various brightness levels. I dont think this is a matter about comparing pixels and sub-pixel arrangement. The colors on first glance look superb better than any screen that ive seen. But when you tilt the screen a bit, that when u realise what superb really is! but holding it staright, the whites are certainly not so white.

Ive also read that all Amoleds are different and that could be one of the reasons. So its on your luck! My S2 screen was awesome! although a lot of people had similar threads complaining about its screen in the respective forum...

And im not sure if Samsung will replace the unit for this? Has anyone tried to replace the handset before, with any other Galaxies due to this screen problem?

[Galaxy Note II General] seltaeb:
This is unusual, especially because I just compared my Note 2 screen to a Note 1 (a colleagues phone in office) a few mins back and our conclusion was exactly the opposite of yours. Are you sure you compared with the similar brightness / display settings on both devices?

PS: I assume you are not trolling, given the iPhone reference at the end.
[Galaxy Note II General] CreepyDroid:
If you have a faulty screen just get a replacement. ;)
[Galaxy Note II General] droidtek:
Its not faulty screen but expected brightness not available. Same with the Demo unit in samsung showroom.

I went to Samsung Service Center and they said its the maximum brightness available, even before me explaining the issue completely.

No option other than to skip this issue :(
[Galaxy Note II General] edwinpang:
Did the OP mix up the two devices LOL
[Galaxy Note II General] MaxReality:
Hmm yeah tough one this.*sarcasm*

Darker screen, that you don't have to keep zooming into websites to read text and and a battery that last 24 hours. Or hmm a retina display that's brighter but has text soo small, it is useless and a battery that probably (not tested) doesn't last half as long.
[Galaxy Note II General] niketkumar:
I m surprised as everybody has checked that note 2 and s3 both has a dull and dimmer screen even compared to any htc,lg or fruit phone

compared many handsets and all have that dull look I wonder how the company hasnt noticed this fact as being a successor it should had a upper hand on note 1
[Galaxy Note II General] chaitanya87:
I have came across this issue with my friends SGSII. When it was purchased , I compared that with mine and observed there is some difference so went to the service center showed him the two pieces side by side and explained it to him. Then he gace DOA for the other piece. Try like this.
[Galaxy Note II General] spacedog1973:
There's looking for problems and stand out issues. This nothing to even concern anybody about.
[Galaxy Note II General] ankydu:
I just compared a demo unit of note 2 at a showroom with my note 1 and compared at zero percent brightness and 100 % and I can say that note 1 is brighter and definitely more crisper that note 2. I was disappointed with the screen at least.
[Galaxy Note II General] sumeshd:
For those in dillema..here's what engadget has to say about n2 display..

Oddly, though, it isn't the traditional RGB matrix as we've been accustomed to on most non-PenTile phones, either. Instead, it appears to be laid out in a non-striped BGR matrix in which the blue subpixels are perpendicular to green and red, rather than in parallel. This puts the display in a magical place where few Super AMOLEDs have gone before, but it's still a hefty improvement over the first Note. Don't get us wrong: we raved about the OG's 1,280 x 800 display (and rightfully so), but its follow-up looks slightly better despite the lower ppi (267, versus the original's 285). We doubt casual observers will notice the difference, but when closely viewing the two side by side, we found more pixels on the older device. Darks are a little darker on the second-gen model, and colors are just a bit more saturated, too. The viewing angles on the next-gen Note are also great for watching movies, but they're essentially the same as the original. Daylight viewing wasn't a problem with the brightness cranked up above 75 percent.
[Galaxy Note II General] avetny:

[Galaxy Note II General] dawolverune:
just got the note 2 today compared it to my note 1 and the note 1 is brighter, but i don't think it is a serious problem.
[Galaxy Note II General] Techweed:
I'm still using the 4S and can't wait to get the Note 2. I find myself never going above 60% brightness on the iPhone. So your highest brightness isn't as bright as the Note 1. Big deal. Do people really use their device at 100% brightness?

I have been trying to reroot my Kindle Fire for some time now but recently when I try to run KFU it gets to the point where it installs TWRP but gets stuck in there trying to remove the root checker. The only way I can go back and actually use the kindle is by flashing the update.zip from the amazon website. Any help?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Were you actually successful in getting TWRP installed? Have you tried to access it?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notdeadyet01:
It boots into TWRP while its rooting the Kindle. The problem is that it stays there and doesn't continue. TWRP is also missing some options and some text. I have to flash the update to gt out of TWRP
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Download this and push it to your sdcard

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1286034&d=1346085105

It is a flashable version of TWRP that can be installed in recovery (this is to fix any potential bad installation of TWRP).

Reboot and access TWRP again.

Once in TWRP, enter the following code to remove the root check:

adb shell mv /system/bin/check_rooted /system/bin/check_rooted.bak

If you get an error message that says:

mv: can't rename '/system/bin/check_rooted': No such file or directory

You have nothing to worry about. It just means the "check_rooted" file does not exist.

While in TWRP, you can do whatever else you need to do to root your device or just flash a ROM (they're pre-rooted). If you do flash a ROM, be sure to wipe "system" and "factory reset" first. Otherwise you're looking at possibly needing a factory cable (or firekit) to fix the problem.
[Xoom General] Cosmox_:
Hi all,

I succeded to install MZ616 eurpean update on my french MZ615 (retail.fr) and would like to share my experience. I used this ICS fastboot xml leak provided by kent_lkc :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1904866

I tried it for 1 hour and every thing seems to be working file (almost same HW). Unless tactile sound (but works well on keyboard?!). System version is now showing 77.128.12.MZ616.Retai.en.EU.

Here's the method I followed:

This method just worked fine for me, after having bricked my device trying to flash US update on my tablet with RSD(stuck on ap fastboot flash mode (s) (flash failure). This is an unsafe method and may brick your device.It is better to wait for official ICS that will come soon. But it can help people that bricked their devices to get it alive

You will loose all your user data.

1- Download and unzip the xml in any folder.

Motorola drivers must be installed, fastboot files present on your machine.

2- From the extracted folder, copy the files : boot_signed, cdrom_signed, devtree_signed, motoboot.bin, preinstall, recovery_signed, system_signed, and flash_fastboot_erase_userdata.bat to your fastboot directory.

3- Edit the "flash_fastboot_erase_userdata" file to remove the line "fastboot flash radio radio.img"

4- Reboot in fastboot, and launch the script.

5- You have ICS ;)

PS : if you get bootloop after reboot reboot in fastboot and tape "fastboot erase userdata".

I only tested this process with my MZ615 tablet. but should also work for any european retail (no warranty on this!!).

All the thanks to kent_lkc for providing the ICS leak.
