I picked up a Captivate yesterday. It is replacing a blackberry Torch and EVO 4G.
I'm liking it so far.
However, there is some pixel noise or something going on with the screen.
This normal?

I did a quick search and didn't immediately see info on this subject.
i am not sure what the picture is reffering to. have you tried the test pattern applications or solid backgrounds? With the animated bubble background it is hard to tell what is what.
Look at the email icon. There are serrations or teeth on the outside border.
Additionally, the white area has a pattern that is visible
That's just the nature of the screen -- they're better for vibrant pictures but not so good for text. LCDs, especially on the iphone 4, is better for text and hard edges. Worthy tradeoff, I'd say.
I read it's something to do with the Pentile technology behind the screen. (if it has it.)
Also, supercurio in the development forum for I9000 discovered a sharpening filter Samsung employs in the kernel. He's the guy developing the Voodoo lagfix - I believe he reduced the sharpening in his current I9000 beta, but it doesn't matter because we still have to wait.
I've got the voodoo kernel on my captivate and it's nuts....the color correction at full brightness is AMAZING, and the low setting is actually low....as in you can be in bed and turn your phone and and not get a sun burn and see white for about 5 minutes.

After upgrading to CM5.0.7.1 from 5.0.6, I noticed that the camera is showing a "cooler" color tone which leans toward the blue spectrum. Kinda like the Droid Incredible's camera in the comparison below.
http://androidandme.com/2010/05/phones/the-incredible-camera-showdown-droid-incredible-vs-nexus-one/
I feel that the Nexus One's "natural" color saturation is gone. Has anyone else notice this? How does one revert back to the original Eclair's camera firmware without losing 5.0.7.1? The Nexus One's superior natural-color matching was the key to beating out the Incredible's 8 megapixel camera.
i noticed this a little bit on a pic i took the other day after the update, will play around a bit more today and the weekend to see.
sure looks like some sort of vignetting or something, red looks more red and in another shot the blue looks more blue, not sure if i like it or not

Solved it. Tried experimenting with different roms and just happened to find one solution that worked.
Wiped and reflashed to 5.0.5.3. Then upgraded to 5.0.7.1 without wiping. Now the camera's original color saturation is back. Dunno why this worked, but I suspect that the 5.0.7.1 may have a different firmware for the camera (Droid perhaps?). Apparently, upgrading without wiping keeps your original N1 camera settings. Just a hunch.
I did a search and couldn't find anything on this one.
Love the phone, came from a droid charge and vzw swapped me out no problem with a certified like new.
On some greyish to white areas or light colors, where there should be a solid color, it looks like a screen from a door angled at 45 degrees overlaid. It's a pattern that is bigger than what the pixels look like. This is on the lock screen, in games, and even in google maps (that default really light yellowish color!), it's almost anywhere light colors occur.
Is this normal, and I'm just trained and looking too closely at the screen with my last phone, or is this something that nobody can say they have seen?
I'd appreciate some feedback. I won't be able to get to a store for a few days to check the demo models for a comparison.
Thanks all!
Woah, weird. I can see more of it now.
This pattern shows up everywhere, and it's really obvious in lighter areas. It does NOT look like this on the background image on the home screen, but I will get this in almost every single app:

edit: Looks like an effect of the lock screen, but I get that same arrangement in games like sims, google maps, etc. Really hard to explain. I'm probably just looking too closely!
@#$!$#[email protected][email protected]!!!!!!!!
I should have googled on this one. It's the pentile effect, and I'm good with it!
Although the lock screen is larger than it actually looks in real life (note that's the lock screen effect).... the clock translucent background was one area where I was seeing it when looking closely. Back up a bit and it's not there.... I guess I just have really good eyes
At the top of my screen, there are two spots leading up to the edge where the blacks (can only notice it on blacks) are faded. It almost looks like there's a leak where the light is bleeding though, except there is no light bleeding through. Not sure what it is. My camera picked it up a lot better then you can notice it, but you can still notice it when the screens all black.

If you don't think you have this, I would still point a good camera at it to check, because it picks things up that you don't sometimes.
thats called "blacklight bleed" and ALL sidelit LCDS have this issue to some degree (iphone5, htc one X, even your desktop monitor)... you would need a SAMOLED screen to completely get rid of it

Its an expensive camera that's better discerning than the human eye...
If I can't see it with my naked eye, I'm not too worried about it
Well, let me explain. I have this issue since a while now, I remember that from the very beggining (using Ginger Bread) this issue wasn't there on my display. And now is getting really annoying, I don't know exactly why, but I definetely feel like this is getting worse.
First of all, it's not a serious problem that affects deeply, the phones works great, it doesn't affect the general function at all. Is just a LCD problem, it will be great to find a solution to this so I can enjoy my phone at 100%.
Specifically, when I'm on the screen watching pictures with red tones (red, orange, yellow, sometimes green) I can see tiny static lines on my display. I mean, the lines are static more on the left side of the screen. How do I know that are static? Well, when I scroll down or scroll up, zoom in or zoom out the image continues with the resolution and color and the lines are there like glued to the glass from inside and makes it look bad.
It's crazy, I don't know what to do. I read in other forum, (S2 forum) that those lines go away by flashing with Apollo kernel.... anyway, I can't attach any screenshot because it's not a software problem, the image will look fine if I do. It's a hardware problem. But what to do?
I've tested the LCD by *#0*# and in RED you definetely see how the lines are showing, are like a gradient. I take a picture, I hope you can see what I'm talking about.

Thats screen burn in. Google it if you dont know about it. And no, there's no fixing it. You can even it though to make those images less visible if you can find that image and let it run with inverted colours. Or get your screen replaced.
if more than one saying appears in it, it can not be screen burn in. its an app thats doing it.
If that was screen burn in, how long should the image have been on screen to cause such damage???
It looks like it's using that image (which seems like a Nexus 6 ad) as background image. @HakiimLs are you on stock firmware?
Does that appear on every app that has a white background or only on the launcher?
Have you tried a factory reset?
Thats burn in for sure i have seen devices like this hands on. They sell these at low cost normally than used handsets. This device was on display so i guess it would have been months with full brightness and same screen to cause that. My nexus has some fairly visible burn in too at the nav and notification bar.
Yes its the stock firmware bro
