Hi,
Has anyone been having issues with color banding problems with color gradations?
I've compared the same apps using my Note with my Skyrocket. The Note seems to have a very serious banding issue while the Skyrocket displays them fine. (See attached images)
I will go to the store and compare to another Note just to make sure before I return it for a new one.
Skype App (See Blue area)

As you can see in my post above, it apears to be a software issue not an issue with the screen. The software is telling the display to look like that.
them apps are not made for this device.u can use rom toolbox and lower ppi to 300
should fix some of these app issue.

This is one of the problems we are going to see on this device. These graphics were not made to stretch as far as the note stretches them. As more HD phones come out, we should see less and less of this. As pioneers, however, we'll have to deal with it for now.
It's the same reason phone apps look bad on tablets, and why tablet versions are eventually released.

An easy way to tell is to put a picture or graphic with similar tones to the graphic in question into your gallery. If it's a hardware issue, you should see similar banding. If it's simply trying to scale a low res picture too high, you won't.
I remember when the iPad first came out people were installing all kinds of iPhone apps on it and them complaining about how they looked. That's why they put that little "2x" button in the bottom corner. The apps would default to iPhone size unless you hit the 2x button, in which case the app looked bad. Then they started developing tablet versions of the apps and presto, problem gone.

Don't get me wrong, there probably are some units with bad displays. That happens with every phone that comes out. I'm just saying it's not likely a systemic hardware issue. By all means, if people are getting better performance than you, go see about a replacement. But if we are all in a similar boat (like the guy that posted a similar thread showcasing banding in the notification pulldown), it's likely a problem with the images, not the phone.
try this
Try this photo and let me know the results in low light.
I wonder how effective it would be to take the stock images that are most affected (pull down notification, for instance), upscale them and hit them with the gradient tool in photoshop. Maybe if I get some time I'll give it a shot.

I've just seen this video Google posted on their facebook showing their Google Maps 5.0 , however, even though the phone was running Gingerbread, I couldn't help but to notice, this phone is very similar to the Vibrant rather than the Nexus S, who agrees this is a Vibrant and not a Nexus S
take it look at:
How round the device is
the lay out of the capacitive keys
lacks room at the top of the screen for the FFC
That's all, am I right?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAh4yiCzgKw&feature=player_embedded
at the beginning the shape is nexus s, with vibrant layout buttons. Later on it changes to the shape of vibrant. No idea why. photoshop fail like all other cell phone advertisements
This isn't an advertisement JUST FOR NEXUS S its for maps and they're saying its for other phones too. Im sure its not a fail photoshop mistake...

I know the Maps is out for all devices after 2.1/2.2? but I mean, it's running Gingerbread, Unless Google is running Nero or Eugene's Ginger Clone lol, who knows..
The 2nd one looks like a Fascinate as it has a black bezel vs the chrome one on the vibrant.

Actually, even if the chrome is not that noticeable, I still believe the second one is a Vibrant, however, now that you mentioned the Fascinate, the first one is as round as the Fascinate and the 2 of them have Galaxy S capacitive keys layout.. so, perhaps is the Fascinate and the Vibrant...

Then how is this for constructive? It could be a Vibrant because many if not most Vibrants have GPS that work just fine. In fact it is confirmed that if it was made at least in October or later you should not have an issue. If it was made prior to that many still have no issue. If yours has an issue it is because you have not bothered to follow the very first sticky in the general thread. Here is a link for you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878970
Finally, I notice that although I have been a member of the forums for 11 months less than you, I have almost as many posts and several more thanks than you. I was making a simple correction, but you decided to flame bait. Flame baiting is not only against forum rules, but a really bad idea with me. Hmm . . . I wonder if that is why

1st phone is an epic or a nexus s, 2nd phone is a Vibrant or possibly a Fascinate.
Let's see if HTC has corrected the crooked screen issue with later hardware versions.
To see if you have a crooked screen: turn the display on and have enough ambient light so you can see the blackout on the top layer of glass. Compare the edge of the lit LCD underneath the blackout. Is the LCD "square" with the blackout or does the LCD look rotated slightly beneath it?
To check your hardware rev, go to Menu, Settings, About Phone, Hardware Information, and look at the hardware rev at the top.
Here's the thread that started this.

It's not a thread. It's a poll. And it's probably the only way for us to find out if and when HTC fixes the crooked screen issue so that people who have the problem bad enough know which hardware revs it affects.

I can see why you'd make a poll for this, but I don't think they've produced multiple hardware revisions yet?

I guess you got a good one then. My first one had a good screen but i replaced it because of the green pics. Hopefully the next one I get will be good if not Ill go to something else for a little while and come back when its good again.
Mine is definitely crooked, unless there is some illusion some of us see and some of use don't We just need cm7 to fix this! (being facetious)
Id be very interested if those that say their screen is perfect could take a close pic of the phone with the notification bar pulled down and post it up here.
Itd help those of us that see it on our own compare to what you guys say is straight on yours.

Do you have any themes available? I only see online, but when I click on online there is nothing available.
Since it IS 17 bucks, and i don't want my money going to waste like it did with SPB shell which was a bunch of bs... I'm going to pirate it, test it, if its buggy uninstalled, if its as how the video shows it to be, then hell yeah buying it however i can. now... time to find a pirating website haha
Alright, just pirated the app ( i will not share where I got it) I'll test it out for a day or two and let you guys know how its doing.
and for people who are having trouble with the compatibility,
try setting your LCD density to 220 im at that and its compatible on the market for me.
OR
PM the dev saying its not working, and possibly you can directly pay him and he can give you the apk? or even fix the problem if so many people are havin git.
First impressions: It's smooth, i won't lie there, it does what its been saying so far.
I've also noticed that all the app icons are LOW RES.
Changing the LCD density to 220 didn't work for me, still not compatible on the Market.

This.
I would love to have a nearly bezel-less phone. I measured with a ruler on my S2, and if the screen is edge to edge like some of the concept pictures, a 4.8 in display will fit on it without increasing the phone's footprint at all. This is what I'm hoping and praying for...
It may just be the announcement for the Galaxy Tab 19. We all need a 19 inch tablet.
Impressive, indeed. Though when I'm available for an upgrade, we'll all be waiting for the GS4 to be announced. Oh well, I just got my GS2 a few months ago and wouldn't want to give it up yet. Besides, the screen size on the GS2 is as big as I'll ever go.

I completely agree. My Captivate was the perfect screen size and I've made due with 4.3 but anything larger is just getting too large. There really does need to be more focus on battery life more than anything. I have many friends that would like to get a smart phone but they think charging the phone every day is too much... and I completely agree.

That is quite a chore, you have to plug it in and set it down. And if that wasn't enough you have to unplug it in the morning. Just terrible.
I am tempted to mod my phone to use a TouchStone, it is really convenient on my TouchPad. I heard the GS III might have inductive charging built in.
I just hope TW 5 or what ever they use is not only themed a lot more like stock ICS, but also portable to the S II.
I am also hoping for a bigger screen with a smaller bezel. Like the ONE X, but with thought out buttons.

I honestly disagree with that. I think what exists is something similar to what we did see on the skyrocket,
a combination of an actual software issue and the manufacturer sources different screens
someone had posted a picture of a few notes, all having a slightly different screen appearance
similar to the skyrocket pics I posted a while back

Sadly when mentioning my theories I get lumped into the naysayer group.
I do see that there is an issue. I scrutinized the previous methods of determining it yes, but the test image does a fairly good job of displaying the problem. Funny thing is, that test image does not display consistently across any of the displays I check...which kind of sucks...every display I own had some issue or another
It was me, I posted 3 notes side by side, all with the same settings and vastly different screen appearances. Y'all need the pic for reference again?
This is something I really only notice when viewing low res video...If I use HD or the like I dont have this issue..
Same on my PC when I watch a ****ty trailer and the blacks look blocky on my monitor..Not to say some notes dont have a real issue but I think its software mostly.
The leaked ICS build simply shifted the black clipping point from between 0 and 1 to between 6 and 7. They didn't do anything to actually fix the problem.

I know this, but I'm trying to find out if it will adjust all Notes to the 6-7 range or if it will keep the gradual fade that some "good" Notes have on GB.

Lmao..that IS doing something to correct the problem... If its a hardware issue, all you can really do with software is work around the hardware limitations...

Its built into the OS... So it applies for any note that has it installed...

My best guess, based on what I know happens when you shift the black point, or increase contrast is that, on ICS, box 7 becomes roughly the same brightness as box 1 on GB. If you had a gradual fade in GB, it will still be a gradual fade on the ICS leak. The only difference is that it will gradually fade to 7 before clipping to black, rather than all the way to 1.

But Samsung has not acknowledged that it is a hardware issue. In fact, they have not acknowledged a problem at all. If they come out and say that it is a hardware problem, then fine - at least we know. But just moving the black clipping point to put a band-aid on the problem isn't doing anything at all.

It's "doing something," but it's certainly not something that would "correct" the problem. Initial testing indicated that they simply shifted the system-wide contrast, nothing more. (since you can return to the old GB results by setting contrast -15).

They are saying something....from a letter in the International forum thread about this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24964262&postcount=694
It's kinda odd that the letter is dated for 4/17/2012. So Samsung wrote the letter in India, mailed it out to that guy, he got the letter, took picture of it, and posted it on XDA all in the same day?! I don't think Samsung Customer service is that good to have a letter sent and recieved in the same day. Smells Fishy to me.

I am guessing he actually went the the Samsung service department with his phone. They printed that out for him.
Ok that makes alot more sense.

That app wont do anything to address the clipping. However, supercurio, the author,says he has a separate ICS-based fix for the clipping issue on the n7000 -- so we're hoping to get it ported to our i717...
My new note having this issue but I was watching some review on youtube he was saying that most of the note has this issue so i have to keep it what if i get the next one with more issue, but was wonder if this is hardware or software issue though ?
