Phantom images across roms - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

To start off i have looked up and searched but can't find an answer. I have images that seemed almost burned in like with old plasma TV. I've tried to stock, multi roms, kernels, and even TV out, but i keep getting phantom images. Mainly status bar and seems up to date times. I think it could be gpu but not shore. I've also tried under/over clock, live oc, and voltages. It also might help that screen shots don't show it but usually happens between app traditions and large color changes. Not to rant but if screen why carry over through tv out?

I think screen shots take a picture of what is supposed to be there, while tv out mirrors the actual screen...

carrying out through tv out is odd.
burn in is physical damage to the actual screen, and burn-in can happen on these screens, as colours die.

I noticed it but only after you mentioned it. I dont know if its burn marks but I think the notifaction bar is still active in the backround.
Also noticed on a vibrant. But it was much more faint. U can see in various apps and colors

[Q] Galaxy s display

I have a problem with my Galaxy when I try to draw with any paint app can not use full display!
The problem is that always stays a white frame as shown in the picture!
Is this normal?
Sorry for my english using google translator!
Your fingers aren't pointy enough.
Can you try on your Galaxy and upload screenshot?
What app are you using? Let me try.

The name of the app's "Painting"
Anyone just a screenshot, or at least test!?
Yay I found the solution! Click the hand in the painting app to adjust scale and bingo! Access to the entire page. Still not perfect but hey...

But it should work without any tricks or not?
Can you draw on your galxy to the edge of the display without any tricks?
No as the apps don't allow it. Nothing wrong with the phone, or your finger lol.

Actually I think I may be wrong about this. The phone does not seem to respond when the very edges of the touchscreen are touched!

I tried this app on HTC Desire and Acer Liquid, and on both I could draw to the edge of the display only Galaxy not!!
When I type the *#*# 2664 #*#* to get into test mode for display,
on the complete edge I have no reaction to touch i in a width of 10-15 pixel!

I can confirm this. Autodesk Sketchbook show the same problem!
If you want to draw with more accuracy, get a phone with Resistive Touch Screen.
I do not want to draw, drawing program is the only app where I can show my problem!
My question was, Is this normal and if someone else has similar problems?
Everyone with the phone has the same problem as you.

Camera problem. help please!

Hello, I am experiencing something word with my camera. I'm not really sure if we consider it a hardware problem or something.As you can see, there are purple lines that appear on my pictures.. Why is this? Second question, can I get my phone replaced because of this problem?
P.s. I used to experience this in my blackberry storm 1 after a few years. Attaching photos. 1 st photo was taken with my Note and the second was with my storm.

Do you notice the same banding effect on your phone if you use Gallery or browse the net? In low light conditions the striped effect has been reported by many other Note users - search for "banding" and you'll see what I mean
I do notice the effect but only when in low light - if the screen is set to higher brightness the banding effect goes away. So maybe it is not camera related but more to do with the screen?

Okay, I'll read up on banding later on. I tried turning up the brightness on full and took a test shot and still, there were those lines. I kind of noticed that this banding happens more for whites than low lighting conditions.
Thanks by the way!

Simple test would also be to transfer the photo to your PC and see if it shows banding there? (I am probably wrong but assuming you used screenshot feature of Note to take screen captures?)
PS - don't just say it - hit the Thanks button
Sorry I'm new here. there you go.
Anyway I'm not yet home so have no access yet to my PC. Got to chat and show what's wrong with a photographer friend. he told me that this is a common problem due to the fluorescent light. True enough,I tried some low light shots under a different light bulb and no banding. I was quite convinced and so I'll continue trying to do tests.

[Q] Screen banding

I've had my RAZR i a few weeks now and on certain screens, vertical banding is clear from top to bottom when in portrait. It's more noticeable on screens with solid colors. For example, the blue screen when Facebook is loading and the grey screen when My Apps page is loading on Google Play. Its not excessive, but is visibly there.
Is this normal for the screen? Are other people seeing this light banding, or is this just my phone? I don't see the same banding on my old Nexus One.
I'm not seeing this on my RAZRi. Just checked it on both apps you mentioned

Hmm. I think I'm going to take the phone in a get a replacement.

[Q][XT] Weird white over contrasting on screen

got this weird thing with the Xperia T, at first I thought it was deliberate effect but now not so sure. Basically when going from a dark screen to a white screen, say the messaging app or facebook the screen is really white like there's a semi transparent sheet on top, (similar to the high contrast you get when you look at the phone off angle) it then blends away to the normal screen.
I don't really get this, does it happen to anyone else?
cheers
Yes, it's a feature. You can turn it off by modifying build.prop, but I'm not sure anymore which variable you need to change.

Are you sure? what a strange feature haha
Disable Dynamic Luminance Scaling, as @peetr_ sugested here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34874453&postcount=151
That annoying contrast effect will dissapear/be significantly reduced.
Note: there's no risk what so ever, those values seem to cause no damage or malfunction of the phone/screen :cyclops:
Cheers!
