So guys I got the note last week I love this thing its amazing but I noticed when my phone is at the lockcreen its not as dark black and I can see some lines in the black some darker and some lighter? ? But the weird thing is when I'm browsing or on the regular screen its all good. Is this a bug or is my screen defective? I have changed my lockscreen pic several times but its always the same???

I have that on my S8500, Galaxy S2 and Galaxy Note but none on my Galaxy S1.
Its believed to be a software issue and there is a thread discussing about that, but some claim they dont have those reddish/brownish lines. I'll search the thread.
EDIT:
I cant seem to find that thread anymore, but it was all about this issue.
Thanks anyways ill take a look around for it its more like black and grey lines the messed up thing is its only on the lock screen so I don't know if my screen is going or what

Using this black wallpaper for the home screen made my phone snappier..Stock wallpapers much heavier i guess..However i cant use this as my lock screen wallpaper as it doesnt look as real black as i was expecting it to look like it used to on my SII. I dont know but it looks like a really really dark grey color and i see some horizontal lines appear when i touch my finger on the screen (lock screen)! Dunno if my phone's screen is problematic or if it's normal!
Download 'colors' from the market. It's free. Set to all black. It's the first thing I do on an OLED screen due to power conservation.

so to get a black background you want another app running and one that needs permission for NETWORK COMMUNICATION for FULL INTERNET ACCESS. really?

If you are referring to "colors," you can remove your tinfoil hat. I've used it for years and it's great. Nothing to worry about.
But eh, whatever. It's a fast and easy way to set to pure black X000000
I use an app called no wallpaper by Mihai Preda.

I learn a lot from you guys. I did not realize there are so many ways to do it. I now use "single color" app to set home screen and lock screen to black.
Hey all. Somehow, certain wallpaper on the lock screen looks like [email protected] I mean it has those banding/gradient/blotchy appearance (especially dark/black ones). Although, when I view on the gallery it looks fine, and even if I use it as a home screen wallpaper it's okay.
Is this a problem with my screen or something else? It's just on the lock screen though, so I'm a bit stump on what's going on.
Thanks.

You can fix that by installing WidgetLocker.

I love widget locker, but I use a pattern lock on my screen, I and up doing twice the work opening my phone. Unless I can lock my phone with widget locker?
Thanks.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Nope, WL doesn't support locking. So what's it going to be? Safety or great looking blacks?

lol. I'll stick with safety...
Like I've said earlier, some wallpaper doesn't exhibit this anomaly...So I'll use those, of course, as always the case, the one wallpaper that I really want to use is the one that looks like crap. lol.
I have just upgraded my Note to N7000XXLRK_N7000DBTLRK_DBT
The one thing i have noticed is that the messaging screen looks a bit different, now with grey banners down the side and less of a text box to write in. also the keyboard seems a little more rounded. Is this normal for 4.0.4 not roms, or is this just this rom?
Many thanks

My friend just bought this phone and I am shocked at how poor the display is. I was so excited to check out this phone but compared to my Xperia S, the display is crap. The colors are so washed out, the status bar is grey not black...it's not so bad when viewing videos where bravia kicks in, but in the System UI it's piss poor. My Xperia S is so much vibrant and I can't believe that is the case.
I tried googling, saw a lot of people complaining, but some of the data is old and supposedly that was only the case in test models? Has this issue not been resolved or is my friend's phone defected?
The status bar is meant to be grey.
A a snippet from my post in another thread:
The screen looks stunning, like as good as (if not better than) HTC One stunning.
I think the biggest problem is genuinely the grey interface. If you dump the default wallpaper for one with some deep colours it really looks awesome. I reckon if the next update has black interface bars too, it will really show up that this is a really nice screen, just with a slightly dull initial interface.

Change your wallpaper to black you will see the black than.
Please Sony release the update and make the ui black and let us free. lol.
The built in wallpaper of a blue flower on black background really shows the blacks up well.

Why are people still responding to posts questioning the screen quality? It's obvious that the colours are not subject to over saturation and therefore will look 'washed out' next to other devices that have the saturation cranked up to the max. I was initially a bit disappointed with the screen myself, but after having the Z for a few weeks, now see the colours are actually displayed correctly on the Z.

Your friends phone is totally fine. The xperia z i like that. There are a couple of tweaks that can modify and improve the xperia z colours it like the whitebalance mod
Press thanks if i have helped
Thanks guys, I want trying to bash Sony, I was just surprised initially. Very bad decision by Sony with the UI, really looks bad and very washed out..
I went to service mode and did the display test, the blacks are fine.

The next update is said to have black ui bars so it should make that side of it better.

Ya, the worldwide edition status bar is in grey color, only Japan DoCoMo Edition origin in black.
That why a lot mod already here for changing grey bar to black or even now semi transparent possible.
Rumors also mention coming version will revert to black bar.
I'm looking for a dark background replacement for the first splash screen that comes on when resetting the phone. This is one of the first mods I look for since I do my resets at night and the white screen is hells bright.
I searched and could not find it.
Any help would be great.
Thanks!
