Grainy graphics - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anybody else have grainy graphics. Examples; when I start up the news and weather app, the bottom bar is not smooth looking, as well as the xda orange loading screen before the app opens also the theme chooser background. Noticed it for awhile but never bothered to ask. Is it just because our phones being low end devices now? Non hd? thanks in advance

thanks for the replies guys.
it's not so much the actual gameplay but the main menus when you have to swipe. they should be perfectly circular like on my iphone but they are a little squashed looking
i even enabled fullscreen.

The menus look oval (stretched) on my EVO4G as well. But when it gets to the game play, everything looks proportional.
It's probably just a bug from porting the game to Android.
You can get Chainfire3D and play the HD version of the game...
looks good on mine.

[Q] Does my Note have a black clipping / black crush screen bug?

Here's the picture with the test image.

Looks like it. Don't worry about it though, you probably won't notice it in normal use.
mine is so noticeable when I play darker movies like Dark Knight. All the black clips It's so sad. I haven't read enough to find a work around, and I don't think there is one.
Do new Notes 1 (the N7000), ones produced recently (eg. 3/6 months ago) still have this bug? If yes, is the display better than displays of 1,5 year old Notes?
I have the initial release of note and thank God never experienced any such thing.

Nexus 7 causes eye strain :(

Hello, I own N7 3G version and I have very annoying problem. My eyes hurt when I read texts. They look little bit blurry and the white is too saturated. I noticed that the greens and yellows are very pale compared to my LG OPTIMUS Black that uses LCD too..Is it me or my device has bad display?
Try screen filter?

I used to use screen filter, but I ended up shelling out for Lux Auto Brightness. It's just so much easier to use. I thought Screen Filter was a hassle and it needs to be disabled in order to sideload apps because it won't allow you to click the install button if it's enabled.

Lux does that too, but it's smart enough to disable itself for that short time you're installing.
If the text you are talking about are web pages, you might consider getting the (stock Android) Browser.apk out of a AOKP build that matches your ROM base (4.1 vs. 4.2) and installing that in addition to Chrome (if for instance you are using a near-stock ROM).
The one thing that was an immediate disappointment to me for the N7 right out of the box was with the Chrome browser's lack of text reflow when zooming.
The Stock Android browser does text reflow nicely, so there's less eyestrain looking at larger text. Nicer bookmarks than Chrome IMO, too.
It does seem a little more prone to crashing than Chrome - but I use it anytime I want to read web pages where zoom+reflow makes the reading easier.
cheers

Silly question but have you thought about going to the optician? Maybe you have bad eyes and need corrective glasses.

I'm short-sighted - that means I see close objects fine opposed to distant objects. I'm corrected with glasses Anyway. I don't have such issues with ipads, xoom despite the bad PPI of the latter. The color reproduction is wrong with nexus, especially the black fonts on white background - they look too grayish and blurred and kinda blend with the oversaturated white background. Interestingly reds and blues look fine on white background; the same is valid also for the white texts on black background. Not to mention the device has very weak greens and yellows even compared to many mediocre LCDs. No ASUS again

To answer your question. I've used my N7 heavily....hours and hours every day, for all kinds of tasks, and have never experienced what you describe. Each person is different, it sounds to me maybe you're sensitive to something on the device that few others are...maybe its the high PPI? Go try an iPad Mini

I think it is the scrolling, wat makes my eyes hurt. The tekst is building up in a way that I have to focus again and again. The xda app is a example of it.
I get big eye strain using the N7, especially at night !! But only one white pages. This aint just the tab though, I get it from my computer screen also.
Is it normal to be getting eye ache and headaches from whites onscreen?
I ended up getting a browser (Maxthon) with nightmode for my tab, but doesn't help for the PC.
Any ideas how to cause less strain to myself? My brightness is low etc.

for your computer download and install F.lux - at night your eyes will thank you. it takes ~15-30 minutes for your eyes to get adjusted to the color shift. If you really want to see the difference it makes after using it for 2-3 hours at night, disable it and see the results for yourself.
Anyone know a good flux alternative for android? I would assume if they have a jailbroken app for ios they should have had a android .apk.

Videos very dim!

The screen brightness of the One is absolutely nice, and even with power saver settings on it is bright enough for me when playing games, looking at pictures and browsing the web.
But when watching videos on it, which I expected to be awesome due to the great dispay, I was very disappointed. The brightness of the movie itself is very low. I often have to crank up brightness to the max with MxPlayer to enjoy watching it. With the stock player it's the same problem.
Does anybody else have this issue or know what to do about it? It was also mentioned in some german review, I don't really know which one anymore. I'd really like to have this fixed.
Does your brightness change all the time as well? Like I've watching something and the brightness seems to change all the time, it's very subtle but really annoying.
Hmm, not really. With mxplayer the brightness stays pretty much on one low level. Even at 15, which should mean full brightness, and would be very bright on other apps.

It's like I've said before, the htc one is over saturated and while that may look nice at ui level, it throws up issues elsewhere, especially video playback and gaming graphics. There's a reason why Samsung keeps toning down the colour levels with each new model and why Sony stepped away from over saturation completely. The troubles it creates when watching videos and playing games isn't worth the colorful ui you get in return

How is it over saturated? Amoled displays are much more saturated, and this display has much better colours than my washed out Nexus 4.

This would be true if the brightness of games and videos where the same level. They aren't. In games everything is visible and clear but in videos (on the same brightness level) I can't see much.

[Q] Color (black) scale on GT-N7000

Hey there,
I just bought a GT-N7000, and I am quite dissapointed with the display quality. I have a lot of experience with Super AMOLED (plus) screens from Galaxy S and SII, but I am facing an issue on my new Galaxy Note.
You can see it on dark pictures, photos or mainly videos. It looks like the screen on the Note were more sensitive of brighter tones of black then the screens on S or SII. Let's say I am watching a video. If the scene is full of light, everything is all right and you can definitely see the breathtaking quality of the Super AMOLED screen. But when the scene goes dark - everything got different. On the S or SII, all the dark led pixels were inactive, so the screen was absolutely black on dark places. But, it looks like my new Note is a lot more sensitive of light, and the result is, it finds a not-absolute-black places all over the screen, and the scene is not Black at all. There is around 50% of the screen's area which is not Black, but just dark grey, consiting of small squares. Also, these squares flicker in a very high frequency, which makes it even more annoying. This is also happening with photos taken in dark, but, of course, the squares are stable.
Are you facing this issue too or am I the only one? I hope you did understand my words, if not, I could provide some photo samples of what I'm talking of.
This is called black crush and present on all Note 1s to varying degrees. Samsung refused to acknowledge it as an issue.

Search for the thread in the n7000 forums with 'black clipping' in the title If you don't find it as black crusg. Lots of good reading there. You will find all the info you desire in this topic.
