Yeah I'm really pissed off that Samsung couldn't be bothered to fix the ridiculous black clipping issue that looks so bad on the Note which cost me a small fortune to buy.

The Note is really laggy, has terrible battery life and a faulty screen, not to mention loads of bugs that make forced closes, freezing and restarting the device regularly. New Jelly Bean update not without small flaws either.

The Note 2 and SGS3 are so much better, too bad Samsung forgot about the original Note:eek:

I took my Note to service at november but they did nothing to it. They didn't even send it to anywhere. They just told the screen is allright. I was thinking about selling my Note, but if I don't I'll contact to consumer protection to see what they think about that.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Ravensysteam:
Paranoid Android Utacka (regardless of the Kernel) has a small workaround... I have a note with terrible clipping after 4 but on Utacka, 1 2 3 are visible even though they are all in the same grey. CLipping still appears, but overall gradients in general look nice and clean. Can't ask for more, because on LCDs, I cant even see 8 anymore because the whole left side is black.

Newer Notes have even better displays though, I had a white one which had perfect gradients (germany) but sold it, because at that time I didn't really use my Note. Ended up with a black Galaxy Note after some month which I traded for my used One X (which had terrible TERRIBLE Wi-Fi) I don't like the overall design of the Note 2 (too long) so I'll stick to my note and get a brand new Xperia Z when its affordable.

Every device has it's flaws...

Could you take a picture of near-black.png from here h**p://dl.project-voodoo.org/screen-tests/ (3 more posts and I can paste links :) ) on Note with Paranoid Utacka? Don't know Paranoid Utacka, but I think that it probably uses filter, which is no-go for me as there is no true black after applying filter.

According to Samsung Developers forum, black clipping issue is not caused by firmware nor display. So if Samsung knows there is an issue with black clipping which can not be solved I should get a refund?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pawces:
Finally able to take a picture where the clipping is visible on my phone...really frustrating.

I loaded the same image on my wife's S3, looked at both side by side, and it was almost perfect on her screen...I wish someone could figure out what was changed in the S3 to fix this, or at least get it down to a tolerable level...:crying:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Formhault:
Refund = within 24/48 hours or 10/15/30 days from purchase (depends on the store).

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] D00ky:
I forgot to turn sarcasm on :)

Weirdest part is that on Samsung Developers forum they say that there is no problem in a display. Wonder what they think where is the problem? :confused:

I would've already took my phone to service but first I have to flash it back to stock as I am on custom right now and then have a trip to Samsung service, which is not just around the corner. Not to mention to get a replacement for the time a Note is on service. I am trying to get some info about replacing a display to reduce black clipping on a local forum but so far no one has done it. Not to mention that no one even bothers about black clipping here in Slovenia :confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] borich:
@Ravensysteam: are you sure?

@formhault: have you tried the last PA Utacka?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] D00ky:
You should test with near-black.png to get proper results.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Formhault:
Actually, what they said was that the black clipping issue cannot be resolved through firmware or display. I'm guessing that the russian p*nk who responded received a slap in the neocortex, with a brick, right at the time he was posting that, hence mentioning the word "display" as well. What the hell is the issue then, firmware or display (hardware)? It's both, you prick! Some smart part of "Samsung Developers"... right...

It can't be resolved through firmware. So it's hardware-related. Anyway, it CAN be resolved through firmware, at least to some extent - like it's been ****ing proven on the S3 and Note 2. Samsung just sucks, that's all.

Flash stock GB (safer than ICS, haha). Some .tar... you know... Revert it back to full retarded stock. Then go show them the issue : the gamma image, as opposed to another phone... a video, photos etc. Request that your screen gets replaced. Get on their nerves until they do what has to be done : replace the screen with a new, non-affected one. Bang their heads until you get what you want. If they fail to replace it in 3-4 warranty service interventions, call Consumer Protection. That's what I'd do :) . Too bad I have no warranty.

I'm gonna give Utacka's PA a try soon, too... But right now, I can't be arsed to even try XXLSZ (even with the presumed bootloop fix)...

here it is;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Formhault:
I just found it... and was about to edit my previous post. Haha... :D

Thank you anyway. Will test right now... with Asylum CM10.1 installed, which has the Samsung JellyBean kernel included, along with the new R3P1 driver from S3 4.2.1 leak.

---------- Post added at 11:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:43 AM ----------

Sucks.

0-3 black.

4-10 kind of like the same tone of gray, just veeery sliiightly increasing in brightness from 4 to 10.

11-21 same as above.

This... in comparision to the one in the middle from here... sucks... big time...

So... no improvement with the new kernel & even R3P1 drivers. AS EXPECTED, I should say.

Next : I'll try on Utacka's PA and XXLSZ (although, I expect sh*tty results on XXLSZ as well). When? Not this week, that's for sure.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] borich:
so, same result as speedmod kernel. No good.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ocujos:
It appears that in addition to black clipping you also have blotches on the screen. Try displaying a gray picture. Look for "blemishes", a discolouration like spots on the screen. I had that on my 1st Note. The 5th Note that I currently have looks much better. Very little black clipping on JellyBam 4.1.2 ROM.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Guzmanus:
Allright, i've just sent it to the service. They told me i'll have to wait for about 15 days, meanwhile i'll try to survive with a crappy galaxy ace.

I really hope the blackckipping gets fixed or almost fixed, or this'll be the last samsung product I buy.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Rivan_92:
Someone with knowledge should try and play with display voltages. If one maybe can undervolt the screen for the grey colors so they show up black, since black uses less power we should get rid of all the grey colors when the clipping occurs..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Formhault:
Not sure that's the way it goes. Try posting that in a kernel development thread... :confused:

Why would $amsuck waste money on fixing product that is obsolete?

Better spent 4 billions on advertising of "the brand new and so much better" products for us to buy. Really shame, because Note is a nice toy in most other ways.

Sorry Samsung, but note is my first and last mobile from you, probably not only mobile phone, my next TV and whitegoods will be the other brand too.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bhatia.mani:
if anybody noticed.

changing screen mode from dynamic to standard or movie helps.

very less black clipping in movie mode.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] D00ky:
I am not so sure about that. Can you post a photo of near-black.png to support that statement?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Rivan_92:
I believe that in the official Jelly Bean update there will also be a "Natural" option too.. So it will be Dynamic, Standard, Natural and Movie.. I know this cause it happened on the SII.. If someone is on an official Jelly Bean, please check Natural too..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bhatia.mani:
Try at your note and see yourself.

Steps

Select dynamic in screen mode. Go to gallery and see gamma test png.

Then repeat steps but choose movie instead of dynamic in screen mode.

You will be able to see 3 in case of movie mode whereas 4 in case of dynamic.. And mutch less clipping in movie mode.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] D00ky:
I already tried that. And the result was the same as on your phone. But that doesn't mean that black clipping is reduced it just shifts black clipping one value higher. Problem of black clipping isn't in that we can not see numbers above 3 or 4, but that there is no linear transition from gray to black. I asked you to post a picture, so you could see, that your solution won't solve a problem.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bhatia.mani:
I f you have not read my first post clearly, i never said that problem is solved. I am saying that this helps and it reduces black clipping. I can clearly notice the difference in png as well as in movies stored in my NOTE. Much much much less clippong in movie mode..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Rivan_92:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] D00ky:
My bad. I expressed myself with wrong words. I understand what you are trying to say. On the other hand using movie mode on N7000 makes screen look washed and there is still not enough details in dark parts.

---------- Post added at 06:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:07 PM ----------

I agree with you guys too. But first I will take my N7000 to service to replace the display as I've already contacted them and they agreed to replace it. And if that won't help I will sell it.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] D00ky:
Could you post a picture of near-black.png? More important than which number you can see is if there is a constant fade from gray to black.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lluf:
I can see all numbers, but just for half a second.

I'm on stock 4.0.4 and have noticed the following:

1. Turn the brightness to the max.

2. Switch display mode to Standard

3. In a file explorer (OI File Manager fpr example) click gamma test image

4. Choose to oen in standard Gallery app

5. The image is displayed with ALL SHADES visible for half a second then clips steps 0-3

I have even managed to make a screenshot with the image not clipped(attached)

So ot looks like software is applying some kind of gamma filter when a dark gradients are detected?

Wired.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] AndreiLux:
That is the usual behaviour of scenario switching, it pretty much confirms that the clipping issue is solely mDNIe related.

I already explained to you guys how to fix it, go ask a resident kernel dev to do it. I won't make a kernel for this device only for this.

Why dont u guys accept that its a hardware issue and samsung cant do anything about it. If they accept that its hardware they have to recall all the phones. So they are just waiting for the service life of n7000 to get over and that they will get away with it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] D00ky:
Until Samsung confirms officially that there is hardware issue that causes black clipping we will never stop hoping. First thing is, that after service replaces display no one reported that black clipping is really gone I mean really gone (at least not with some pictures to support that statement). The second thing is that there is a solution for S3 and Note2 on this forum that removes black clipping. If you join those three facts together you end up really confused about what is true and what is not. So I will hope to get a solution...until I sell my Note;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Formhault:
Samsung will never make a press conference and say "yes, the Note had manufacturing issues".

I personally don't think it is a hardware issue anymore. I mean... look. The Note has it, say, on a scale from 1 to 10, on a level of 8. The S3 has it on a level of 5. The Note 2 has it on a level of 2. You know what I mean?

They learned from the mistakes they made with the Note and they improved the software rendering bit by bit until the S3, then with the Note 2.

The fact that it is fixable on the S3 and Note 2 entirely, and even that the screen can be improved (!!!) proves that the same is possible with the Note. You just need the right devs to do the right things :) .

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ocujos:
I will wait until Note 3 comes out and will then send my Note for a repair. As black clipping will never be fixed by Samsung, they will have no choice but to either offer a refund or a new Note 3. I know this will be a long and painful process but I will win. In Australia, consumers have rights enforced by a government body called Justice of the peace (consumer protection agency) .

As it has an OLED screen as well, I thought it might be interesting to compare and honestly, except for sharpness the One S display is like gazillion times better handling the colors and saturation correctly (the galaxy note looks all bluish in comparison) and also the One S has absolutely perfect black gradients so don't anyone dare blaming the OLED-Technology...
