Note 8 bug ? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers

Hi i have an note 8 SM-N950U ( T-Mobile ) and the icons on the top are small, and the bottom part is like pushed, it feels kinda small and weird, i hope the images are clear
Icons small on the wifi-bar
I think the resolution is wrong somehow.
Any Fix?
Check the first image, the black part feels like it's pushed up , and the icons almost stay out of the screen, already checked the DPI and font sizes and nothing.
Any fix?

Its your screen protector.

Did you get the zagg invisible shield screen protector? I have it and no matter how hard i tried i couldnt get it on perfect. it looks somewhat like yours where the top is cut off a bit but it doesnt really bother on day to day use.

White Line on Display

If this is a larger problem than my display and you hadn't noticed it before, I'm sorry, but does anyone else seem to have a white vertical line going down the left side of the screen, about 1/2 a cm from the left? Its pretty much invisible UNTIL you use something with a white/light background. I noticed on the Twitter app, and just want to find out if its just a general "thing" with the display or a fault just on mine, which I'll get replaced if thats the case.

Sounds like a faulty device, mines fine.
Mine had some weird lines over the screen that changed colour depending on what was being displayed, but they disappeared after a couple of days, when did you get the phone?

Yesterday afternoon. I'm going to give it till tomorrow afternoon to see what happens with it (Earliest I can get round to returning it anyway).
vertical white line
I have the same vertical white line, approximately 1.5cm from the left side of
the display. I have had my note for about 2 weeks now. The line is very thin and barely visible and I am not sure if it has been there from the beginning. It is only visible on white display(low brighness) and if you know where to look for it. My note is without the local warranty so all consequences have to be borne by me. Have you found if it is a defect or perhaps this is normal since it is barely visible?

[Q] circular spot on the screen

i just bought my galaxy s2 today , but i noticed a strange circular spot on the lower right side of the screen, it is visible in gray or other dark background and is not affected by the brightness settings. should i get it replaced
Hard to be certain without a photo, but it sounds like a mark from the suction cup used to attach the screen - a few people have reported this, unfortunately. There are photos somewhere in the forum, can't seem to find them at the mo...
If so, yes - return it immediately.
i cant post a pic because im a new member, but thanks for the rep
deleted
sai4u - From another thread, suction mark in top right. Look like yours?
yes, i have the exact same problem
Shame. I'd return it, definitely.
Same issue, white circle in the lower right side of the screen, size of a coin, visible only on a grey background, just like the yellow left side issue. Doesn't bother me in real life usage, but still...
il get it replaced immediately, many thanks for the reply

I too have this same problem unfortunately, I asked for replacement but currently phones out of stock here, Waiting for new stock Impatiently.
Was it easy for u to get it replaced ?
my friend got it. hopefully she can get a new one.
Mine is not this prominent though, I dont see it on such dark backgrounds...God knows how many pieces have it, and the fate of replaced piece.
Could be a remnant from production process and oleophobic coating. Glass parts are mostly transported by suction cups and this might leave this "mark" ...........
i also have a light spot on my phone which appears on gray or slightly dark backgrounds. it's on the left side. it does not appear to be the same thing as the one on previous pictures. it's as small as a dot which can be made by a marker.

Maybe you are talking about the white spot in default internet browser. It is located in the left lower corner. It is normal and it's there for hardware acceleration. Check to see if you have dead pixels, if the white spot only appears in default browser than your phone is ok.
mine appears all the time (provided that the background colors are gray and of the same shade). also, the spot is on the top-middle portion (portrait mode) of the phone. example, it reading SMS conversations, background is gray right? i can see the light spot there. i would post a picture but i'm still new to the forum.
Hi.
Mine have that exact circle too =/ .
So, you say it is not burn in ? i was thinking maybe that was because the weather widget sun.
Since im out of warranty i m thinking in open and cleaning it, what do you think ? would be that possible ?

It would be possible for sure, but would be also a big mistake.
It's a hardware issue, not a dust one.

[Q] Xperia S's screen is not centered

Dear XPS users,
Well I got bored and i was just starring at my phone LOL i dont know why but yea.
Anyway i notice that my phone's screen isnt really centered. how?
check your middle captivate button (the home button) and try moving your eyes up (aligning) with the app icon in the center.
it doesnt really bother me but i also notice that my menu LED is kind of dimmer than the other two -.- well this is my second XPS with no yellow tint issue. im not returning this to take another risk.
anyway how many of you notice your screen isnt that centered?
I just had a look at this and nope mine is centred perfectly I also measured up to the middle dot at the top of the screen and is also aligned fine.
Measure the gap between the dots and tell me what you get I am interested to know haha
okay for me:
from left side to left dot: 1.1cm
from left dot to middle dot: 1.96cm
from middle dot to right dot: 1.98cm
form right dot to right side: 1.2cm
obviously some human error in that...man I must be really booooored!
Just looked..
It seems to be in center...
Mine aligned perfectly.
12W15 ABAE
Nice n centred on mine too
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
how about a survey thread?
but mine also is perfectly in the middle...
I dont know can you guys see well. the pictures may or may not illustrate that clearly but having the phone in my hands i can see it no doubt.
Like even bringing up the menu settings on the homescreen you could already tell they dont align.
pictures below.
and also i see that the weather widget is a bit moved towards the left side.
the last picture. you could also see that my menu LED light is dimmer than the other two.
again im not being picky or anything just pointing things out. im a artist so i do see stuff when its a bit off lol i cant help it.
My weather widget is aligned and so are my buttons.
It could be that your head may be on a little crooked (joking!) but I'm sorry I really don't see it. I do see the bubble on your screen protector though, and that would annoy me more than a suspected 1/2mm off symbol. My lights are also the same brightness

..lol he is right. The dot is slightly to the right, but not very noticeably. I really don't care, one does not notice under normal circumstances..
Sent from my SXS
LOL i applied the screen p on myself. well it was free and messed up the first time. :l better than nothing.
anyway im sorry i cant hold my camera still but im being super serious.
maybe we should have a XPS gathering sometime soon LOL
Why guess with your eyes when they can be tricked easily, I just checked mine with a ruler, mine aligns up perfectly.
Middle should be 3.1cm's (from glass screen edge) from top to bottom with everything including software and hardware aligning correctly.

[Q] windows phone 7.8 should use full screen till edges. what you think?

Hi
Windows phone 7.8/8 with various tile size looks good but it doesn't fit well in smaller screen like 3.7" in Lumia 800.
I have tested some WP8 simulator app also. But today I thought of downloading an image of wp7.8/8 start screen to
see how it will look in this screen size.
Then I zoomed the image a bit so it fits the screen till edges without leaving any space on left & right sides. I was surprised
as I felt it more natural to look at & elegant too. I don't know if Microsoft &Nokia can do that or not , but I personally feel that
In today's world where all manufacturer are running after making larger screen , it would be better to utilize more screen space
claverly .

yes same app list.
I cant see any attachments
I think it's fine and looks finished like this. stretching from edge to edge will make a feeling that icons are cut off.

"Dotted pattern" on the screen

Hey guys,
purchased an S6 Edge (SAMG925, european/international model) yesteday and I was surprised to find something I can only describe as a dotted pattern inside the screen. At first I thought maybe it had something to do with the screen/glass technology, but the more I think about it, the less sense it makes. I can only see it on bright backgrounds, for example while surfing or at the standard, green/blue background. It looks like three really, really small dots running diagonally up to the right. These three dots are all over the screen and it looks like they're almost forming a pattern. I literally have them everywhere, but make no mistake, this isn't scratches or just some random defect with the screen. It looks like they're meant to be there. I double checked with a display model in the store I bought it in and that one had the same "issue". I can only see these dots if I look put the phone up really close to my eyes and if I actually look for them. I've asked two others of my friends and both of them could see them easily after looking for a couple of seconds. Now, daily, this isn't an issue, but I was considering picking up the Gear VR for the S6 and I cannot imagine it WON'T pose a problem once you get up close with the lenses the Gear VR provides.
Anyway, question time: Are there anyone out there that has noticed the same thing? Or are your S6 Edge display flawless and free from a 3-dot pattern? :/
Capactive sensors more than likely for the touchscreen.
Post a picture, please.
I tried getting a photo of it, but I wasn't too successful. Got one that works, I guess. It appears to be sort of a surface-problem. It looks like grease, or even dust, but I know for certain that it isn't. I took a picture of my phone while reading my own post. If you look above the "d", you should see the first anamoly on the screen, then three more in a diagonal line. There's also a dot over the last y in yesterday, but that one is more unclear and harder to see. :/ Hope I'm not seeing things here and that someone else can confirm it looks weird. I cleaned my screen before taking this picture, btw.
I know what you are describing, mine is the same. It is so uniform in pattern that it has to be something to do with the gorilla glass or the touchscreen itself.
Mine had the same issue. But after 3 days they are no longer noticeables. Give them a few days and check again
My s6 edge is waay dimmer than my note 4 normal?
Same Issue
I picked up the s6 edge on the 10th and am noticing that same problem 4 days later for a premium smart phone that boasts it's screen being one of the best around, this is kind of annoying to see this issue.

Mine has slowly gone away, or at least not as visible as it was at first.

Yes, I had this concern as well. As another user in another thread mentioned that the S6 on high goes up to roughly 450 nits, but in outdoors or in direct sunlight can go up to a crazy 750 nits which is much brighter than the Note 4. I have the Note4 and S6E. I put a flashlight to the front sensors on the Edge and that think got extremely bright, almost made my note 4 (on manual high) seem like it was on medium in comparison lol. It sucked at first, but then I realized when am I ever going to need it that bright indoors, and if i'm outdoors it will automatically kick it up to eye scorching bright!
I'm hoping mine does also. I love the device but having that surprise was kind offsetting.

Same here but mine is more like cloudiness or under-screen scratches, not dots. I noticed while scrolling on white backgrounds in any app.
The streaks are just the camera lens taking in light. Look closely at the center of each pic and above the word "UPDATE" in the Google News page.
I have the same problem dotted pattern inside the screen, i had to replace the s6 edge 3 times and they all have the same f**** problem.

I've given up on the issue as every s6 edge ive seen is like this. Even after having the phone since launch the issue hasn't gone away. I think it is caused by the digitizer having to use a different method because traditional ones do not work on curved screens? Haven't got a chance to compair to a note edfe but I wonder if it had the same issue.
Is this one of those things that can only be seen if it's pointed out and then it can be unseen?
My screen looks flawless...
