Firstly I would like to thank and appreciate how easy the guide was to install Overcome 1.6.4 on my stock Galaxy tab. This was my first attempt at doing something with andriod devices and the guide helped me complete the whole setup without any issues.
Once completed and everything running smoothly, there is an issue with the display. The display is very grainy - like a light purple haze on the top of screen. It is more noticible when having a white or light background.
Any pointers as to what is causing the issue and hopefully a fix will be much appreciated.
Further more I just noticed that the camera also is taking grainy pictures and the toggle switch for video/camera also not working properly

Hey!
I bought my galaxy 6 months ago. Not long after I noticed a minor issue with my AMOLED display. I could see blue "artefacts" in some bright areas of the screen from time to time. Nothing serious, just blue dots and stripes, subpixels. I even posted a picture of it on reddit (second attachment) more out of curiosity than anything but was later convinced it was probably a software issue. I did have some suspicions something might be wrong with my phone but it actually happened so rarely and the issue was so minor that I just got used to it because it didn't bother me that much.
I recently flashed dark core 2.2 along with rc6 and it got *significantly* worse. I could see blue subpixels all over the screen wherever there's bright white, generally on the lowest brightness setting. Now, I believed that the hardware got worse and it's time to ask for a replacement. So before doing so I obviously had to flash stock firmware and guess what - it all disappeared. So I flashed just the dark core again to go back to rc6 - and it was back again.
The thing is, I really love this ROM and I love the voodoo improvements that come with it. I don't think I can live without them any more. On the other hand, it might be difficult to convince people from samsung that there's actually something wrong with my phone - since it happens so rarely on stock ROM. And I think that this display defect is intensified by the screen improvements from voodoo/dark core.
My only idea is to somehow make it show up on stock ROM and send it to them just then. But is this even possible without rooting my phone? Does anyone has an idea why would these blue subpixels show up in white areas? Is it something they check with specialized equipment or do they boot the phone first to see what's wrong?
Anyway, guys if you could point me in the right direction or had any better ideas... Seriously, It would be helpful even if you said that I should just return my phone and hope for the best. I'm a student and I can't really afford to be charged for returning - what they think is - an operational phone
I attached two pictures
1. a picture of how my screen behaves after flashing the latest dark kernel
2. a picture of how my screen sometimes behave on stock kernels
I'd appreciate any help or advice
I've got Galaxy Note on 11 Nov 2011, I noticed that when switching on Camera, targeting any white wall, I notice Columns / Bars of shadows or Smoke are moving like curtain from left to right of the screen specially in a low light places, also a pink spot in the middle of the screen.
Is this normal? if not, What I have to do?
I have Galaxy Note GT-N7000 - 2.3.6 JPKK2
Kernel Ver: 2.6.35.7-N7000JPKK2-CL726640

- I am having the same EXACT problem or issue. I noticed that the camere issues you spoke of, (i.e., columns of shadow flickering from left to right and pinkish hues smearing certain portions of the screen) are more obvious whenever the shot is taken indoor under flourescent light.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Is this solvable by software update? Thanks.

I was just going to say that floresent lighting can give the effect of bars scrolling left to right or vise versa, I've noticed it a couple of times on my SGN.
Although I did notice some moving shadows on the first day I had the phone when taking picture of a white wall.
It doesn't bother me that much as the final picture does not show the bars.

I've had the problem with the bands under flourescent lighting since GS2. Actually surprised not more people have reported this. I think it has to do with electrical frequencies. You can see the same thing if you take a picture of your computer screen. On Note, sometimes I don;t have the banding on screen, but appears on the final picture!
I'm sure it can be easily fixed with a software fix - syncing the cam with whatever electrical frequency (50 or 60hz) automatically as with regular cameras. Just waiting for it!
Oh...and the pink spot....since day 1 on GS2 as well!
I have the pink spot as well. This sucks!
Any way to fix this?
as ichsu said correctly, the bars are due to optical interference from artificial light sources. on htc devices there was a "flickering reduction" option in the settings which could be set to your grid frequency (50/60Hz). this helped a lot in such occasions! but samsung does not have such option, maybe they try to automatically detect this, and this automatic works not as intended. or they did ignore this problem, which would be strange...
Hi,
So I am having issues with the colour yellow on my screen. I first noticed it within the stock messaging app. The yellows seemed green and rather light. But other times they seem dark and very yellow. I was wondering if anyone had noticed this on there S3 running 4.1.x .
I have tried doing a factory reset and the problem still persists. Could this be hardware or simply a software glitch?
Thanks in advance.
The first S3 i bought the bottom 20mm of the screen was very visibly pink, i returned it and got a replacement and this one is perfect, i suggest you do the same.
John.
No issues with mine, I'd be taking it back
Hello guys,
i'm new to the Galaxy Note and the Forum, start by thanking everyone for the great job you have done and are doing.
- Before:
I bought a Galaxy Note, I am fine and i love him like a son (maybe because I have no children).
There was the original version of Android 4.1.2 firmware N7000XXLSA with NO brand.
I flashed from the original recovery kernel that is here (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191) to be precise "Philz-cwm6-XXLSA-DBT-v3.99" (I do not know why I chose this among others, perhaps because it reminded me of the original LSA final XXLSA and makes me wonder: the "Philz-cwm6-ZCLS8-CHN-v3.99" is newer than the one I flashed?).
From ClockworkModRecovery I installed, after fullwipe, the last Nightly of CyanogenMod 10.1 and the gapps (as I did on other phones like Nexus S and Nexus 7 and it is always gone smoothly).
- The problem:
Everything works fine (apart from a phenomenon of Battery Drain, but I have to recalibrate it and recharging from consuming it all off for at least 4 hours and then delete the stats etc ...), but there is one thing wrong: the monitor.
The icons on the desktop can be seen very well, ultra bright and the text looks really HD! (I come from Nexus S and I also have the Nexus 7, bright colors and blacks amazing!) But the background, some photos appear, or the shades of black phone menus you see badly.
If I use MXPlayer to see a video all blacks are pixelated, gradients are sheared.
As if it was in safe mode, type windows xp in safe mode that NOT loaded the video card drivers.
I read around on the issue and there was talk of color banding, 16bit software compared to 24bit monitors hardware, but in essence what?
Depends on the kernel?
I have to go in customer care to replace the monitor (which also occasionally changes almost imperceptibly color, for example while navigating, then on the white background of the pages, from white light turns yellow, then brown, and so on).
What do you recommend? Does anyone have or have had the same problem?
UPDATE:
This morning I tried the phone around, the street outside and the problem seems to disappear.
I set auto brightness. So maybe with strong light, increasing the brightness of the blacks are softened better.
Now I'm recovering from the last original software Samsung Kies, the much-hyped premium suite, see what happens and if the problem remains.
Thanks in advance to all.

I recommend go back to a non leak firmware which is not buggy like this one. Then see if you can reproduce. Remember those JB roms are buggy leaks. Best to use the kernel phills made explicitly for the rom version you are running.
Regarding colour changes this usually is due to powersaving apps or settings. Remove and/or disable those. especially the one in the stock browser. This a known old issue not necessary caused by hardware.
battery drain issues van best be analysed according to ahalfords sticky on wakelocks.
