I'm using SGS, and runing the Froyo.JHJP4 (Israeli Orange ROM),
One of the problems was with the camera that didn't work at first, so I installed a fix for that (GT-I9000PTRJP4_KERNEL.zip).
after that I tested the camera and discovered something very annoying:
The quality of the camera got much worse compared to the 2.1 version,
and it looks as if it's in constant "Night mode"... so the image moves slowly while moving the camera, and the images are very grained and quality is down.
I checked the settings, and everything look normal:
The night mode is OFF
and the Quality is at BEST.
Anyone familiar with this problem??
I really like this ROM and don't want to change it again, but the camera is important to me...
THANX!
Hello guys,
I have some strange artifacts on my screen. First time I noticed this was on youtube. it shows some strange picture tearing on the left lower corner of the screen. First I thought it was some glitch in youtube app, but later i discovered similar glitch in some flash video. I noticed that it's most visible in Anomaly HD, where allmost entire lower left corner somehow flickers. no other games or apps seem to have this kind of problem, 720p HW accelerated video plays like a charm
Is this problem caused by apps, or is it faulty tegra 2? Can I try another display driver? Anyone else encountered this kind of glitch?
I uploaded video captured on my Galaxy W - it's most visible on Anomaly HD
Try a custom from. If it does not work, you might have a messed up GPU
I am currently using overcome 2.3.1, but i had this issue on stock as well...what's bugging me is the fact that no other app or game I've tried seems to be affected
for example shadowgun, zen pinbal thd, modern combat 3...all those games are working with no problem...might as well wait for official ICS update and see if it helps.
ok another funny thing: after installing latest AOKP ROM this happens when booting (same thing happens in CWM recovery after installing CWM suggested in thread)

here is the original video, seems i somehow messed up inserting the link

EDIT:
i'm starting to thing there's something really wrong with my tab...this iswhat i have after applying motley kernel (no screen shifting on previous kernel)
Could my problem be somehow kernel related?

I have this problem too. I see it in the lower left corner of the screen when scrolling through the video wall in the youtube app. If I turn the tab upside-down in landscape mode the flashing/tearing happens in the lower right corner of the screen. However, the problem does not seem to happen in the portrait mode at all.
I'm on stock unrooted rom.
Can you try flashing cm rom with latest recovery? I'm unable to flash latest build with my current recovery. If I flash recovery recomended in the cm tgread my screen starts to scroll from the bottom to the top. If I try to flash the rom with this new recovery same thing happens when booting...same goes with motley kernel as documented in videos above. Anyone else is having this problem? I can live with some screen tearing but that scrolling pisses me off...it makes newer cwm recovery unusable for me.

It's just as esqauw said...when i turn tablet upside down bug appears on different spot ( right lower corner screenwise, left upper corner tabletwise ). I believe tis has to He somehow related to software, because it appears elsewhere on the screen...might be completely wrong off course. Any oppinions?

someone has to know what to do about that sliding screen issue
Same here
I was about to link you my thread on this but I see you found it already. I have not looked into this for a few months.
For me the problem is inconsistent so it is difficult to test. Id think if it were a hardware issue then most if not all apps would be affected. Maybe the way the affected apps are writing to the screen is triggering it. Id also think more people would be reporting the problem.
Different roms don't seem to help which could point to hardware or some low level (lower than rom?) software cause. I watched your videos of the boot screens post kernal changes and I have not had that type of problem yet. But I have not rooted or tried other roms either. This may support the low level software cause.
Your information adds support to a software cause with the artifacts appearing in different parts of the screen when rotated. I think a hardware cause would mean a consistent location on the screen.
I cant find the threads now but Ive seen mention that Samsung's implementation of the screen and Tegra 2 on the 8.9 causes a performance lag in landscape that does not appear in portrait. The 10.1 does not have this problem. Maybe this is related to that. The lack of the artifacts in portrait mode would lend support to this.
I hope you find a fix but Ive resolved myself to living with it. Although, I should probably look at warranty options before it expires.
Good luck
What do the graphics look like on this free graphics benchmark app?

I get 2281 in quadrant. lt runs smooth with no problems or glitching. but it runs in portrait mode which does not appear to have the bug.
Given that bug does not happen in portrait mode I'm leaning toward the problem being the performance lag issue I mentioned above.
Same here

Ok, so I have to clarified couple of things about lag and stuff.
1. I was played GTA 3 v1.3 with all the in-game setups at max and with frame limiter disabled. It has lagged as hell! Then, I switched the game to "Zoom to fill screen" and the game runs very very very smooth but the screen resolution became low. This is applied also to Asphalt 6 and other HD games.
2. The tablet runs smoothly in Portrait Mode. The stock launcher from 3.2 runs perfectly in portrait for me.
3. I tried to overclock up to 1.5 GHz and tried again to play GTA 3 with the option "Stretch to fill screen" and it LAGS! Tried with "Zoom to fill screen", no lag at all but screen resolution problem. Otherwise, is playable
I think all it's related to software. Hardware is quiet good. Maybe if we change the DPI the lag will dissapear, don't know
Jellybean seems to fix it
Well I tried the AOSP 10 beta 8 build and CM10 latest build and they both appear to have fixed the problem. AOSP seems a bit better performance wise so ill be sticking with that for the foreseeable future. I guess it was software after all.
I have the exact same issue with newly bought tab 8.9 on youtube app. and I didn't use alot of other apps but the apps I tried never had issues with the screen. The tab is all stock.
so, what we have concluded here is that it is a software issue or some hardware issue that should be taken care of by the warranty?!
Well it seems that it's software issue,because after flashing CM10 preview, those artifacts dissappeared.

That's great news. But that leads to another question
Do all gtabs 8.9 have the same issue using HC 3.2? So that we can say that we have a software issue only? Or is the issue related to some faulty SoCs that may show these artifacts using stock software?
I just want to make sure that it is a software issue only as I think I can make use of the warranty at the moment if it is a hardware issue
Thanks for sharing the tip

I just bought my Note used and found out theres a big problem with screen black and grays.
I've done some search and found that black clipping issue : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1559800
But I think my problem is not that or its much worse. I'll attach a photo of my Note with that same gamma test pic as in the above topic.
When I bought the phone it had stock ICS installed. I installed first GB and then paranoidandroid JB That's when I noticed the probem. (Not earlier, because JB backgrounds show the problem better.)
I tried everything in settings but nothing helped. The oddest thing was when I one time opened the lockscreen, suddenly the screen was normal. I was happy with that but later the screen went bad again and nothing seems to help. I've tried different kernels and different roms (stock ics&gb, custom ics and jb).
It is so bad that no way i can watch photos or videos with my Note
Is there anything I can do?
just unroot back to stock n then take it to the Samsung ppl
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.
Some days ago I upgraded my xperia v from 4.1.2 to 4.3
But a problem accured at video recorder
I have taken a picture from a video that I have recorded by my phone, so you can see
when I downgrade to 4.1.2 the problem disappear.
and when I upgrade it to 4.3 the problem begin again.
I also flash CM10.2 and 10.1 , the problem accur again.
Any one else has this problem?
When I flashed LT25_9.2.A.1.210 .ftf (andriod 4.3) I saw the problem
But I flashed this ROM: [ROM][APR22][Ver2] SIMPLE IS PERFECT: XPERiA V LiTE JB 4.3 .210 Stock Based
that is based on stock LT25_9.2.A.1.210 ROM and I didn't see the problem!!
Can any one say why this problem accur,
I want to flash cm 10.2, but if I do that the problem will back again!
What problem are you talking about?

I have explained at post 1.
When I rec video, there are a lot of noises
You can see them at the picture I have taken form a video that I have recorded by my phone's camera.

I believe you will see this striping only when there are low light conditions. This together with the noises that are recorded in the background to what I read are hints to graphic processing system is working at it's limits.
I have my own theory abt this condition. 4.12 was commissioned so that with a few add-on apps loaded it will just run smooth and problem-free. If users added a lot of stuff, they started complaining abt lags. 4.3 has higher demand on resources. It comes with lags and video problems for many.
This would also explain why the 4.3 Light ROM as mentioned above does not have this prob. Probably after you added a number of things, the same issues would return.
your problem is blinking, greenline etc in low light camera .. hehe
uncheck NFC (setting-wireless & networks). Problem solved!:good:
