People I bought a new note three days back..the phone is absolutely awesome...but I have a very irritating bug on the screen..whenever the screen has to display grey colours it appears very bad and this spoils the beauty of the screen...it happens in videos as well...any help?

There are some issues with black/grey gradients in certain conditions, the question is if what you have is typical or worse,
I'd suggest searching the forum for "black crust", and checking the thread on Galaxy Note screen issues

There is also a new bug after updating to ICS DDLPY8version.when screen comes to landscape mode the left side where the notification bar remains has a color imprint in dull.so when u turn landscape the notification panel part remains visible in dull color same as screen color.its like a imprint which remains always and visible only on deep insight.

Just noted that I have maybe a defective screen (or GPU?).
Sometimes when using apps like XDA, browsing or apps with a lot of white background I noticed black lines (1pixel width).
When you holding in portrait mode their appear on the bottom side of he screen, and are horizontal. Always very fast, they appear and then go very fast. Sometimes its only one horizontal line,sometimes two.
When you hold in landscape mode they appear on the whole screen (vertical lines). It happened to me know two times while typing this post.
I'm full stock, not rooted. I have the power plug on and charging, maybe some power oscillation? Will see if happens without charger.

I thought I was going crazy when I noticed this! I legitimately see black lines down the screen for about a second just slightly out of my peripheral, and then they're gone.
Happens on xda and chrome, it's a known problem. Some people say other kernels help get rid of it. I think it's just a software bug.

Same issue here.

I also noticed these kind of lines. It happened while watching some videos on YouTube. Also on XDA, portrait mode, on the upper side of the screen. Anyone has a software solution for this? I am just afraid not to get some permanent lines like this.

So... seems like that the problem appears for me only when I'm charging.
Anyone can confirm that the lines appears without charger plugged in?

Yes, the lines appear without charging.

Happens to my Nexus 7 also. They appear very briefly, like for half a second. Usually in the bottom half of the screen (I can't even tell if it appears at the same spot - it appears so briefly, but I do think I have seen it once or twice in the upper half). I have seen it on xda app, Tapatalk app, and Chrome blank page. I think I may have seen it on the home screen also.
On my Tapatalk app I turned the background to dark gray and font to white, but I have still seen it 1-2 times, so it doesn't just happen with white backgrounds.
Don't know if its a software issue and can be fixed with updates or should I get it exchanged? It will be hard to make the store understand what the problem is since it is quite rare, happens to me only a couple of times a day or so (although I have been playing Angry Birds extensively recently to see if it app specific or not, and I have yet to see on Angry Birds - I actually have not seen it anywhere for the last couple of days since I started playing AB).
I only get them in the Tapatalk app. And it doesn't happen often enough to be annoying so I don't really care.
Here here!!
Had them on Tapatalk, dolphin browser and on Plume to name a few. Like others said though, they ain't frequent tto become a PITA but are still noticeable.

I swear these threads are going to appear every week talking about the same problems that have already been discussed many times over.
As said many times before, this is a common issue with tegra 3. The one x line flickering was fixed with an update.
Or you can download a custom kernel with an increased panel clock rate and be happy.
So anybody else have screen raise on the left or is it just me???? just messing.

Saw it on Angry Birds too. So its just not on xda or Tapatalk apps.

A custom kernel does fix it. I had this problem until I flashed the motley kernel and it went away. Then I when I went to the paranoid android ROM I didn't know at the time but it changed my kernel back to stock... I didn't realize it had changed until I noticed the lines again. So far I have used the Trinity kernel and motely's and both have solved the screen tearing problem. If you don't want to flash a custom kernel I'm sure google will fix it in a future update. Thankfully its not a hardware problem.

Really happy that the problem can be fixed with a software update.

I have this as well well as screen moving issue I'm going to buy a 16 gb version and send this back for refund. Hope they will do that I really don't need two Nexus 7 tablets

Yep, I've seen it happen with the xda app, and it looks like it flickers a line for a second and goes away.
i have this as well, a dark horizontal line appears in a flash of second at random time and place, i thot it is the flicker issue ppl talked about?
but i dont have the whole screen flicker tho i have tried google map zooming or panning with gps on and weak wifi signal and auto brightness off and 15%

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

Ya dame here thought it was just like the glue on the back of the screens like the on the 910's

Hmm. I think I'm going to take the phone in a get a replacement.
Hi all
I have done a little searching the last week to find apps which have been modified to be dark. The reason is that with our lovely AMOLED displays chewing 60% of power and unlike LCD displays, only the colour pixels chew power. Pure black requires no power so the darker the screen the less power it will use.
Being able to invert white to black on web pages would be handy. And other apps like eBay doing the same would also save a lot.
I figure we'd save about 20% of battery doing this.
Are there any places to find such modified apps?

Search about justun bean inverted Gapps here on xda. It's a packet of some apk (Gapps also) blacked.... It's not sure they will work with your rom, so before to install them (by recovery) do a nandroid backup!
The only app I miss until now, is a blacked Facebook messenger

The problem with this device is that the darker the application is, the more black clipping we'll notice.

Nah, you can see the black clipping issue only if you watch a video. I used a lot of times totally dark rom (like asylumPhoenix) with totally dark app (like justun). There wasn't any sign of black clipping
I just noticed it during a video (mostly) or watching a particular pic (rarely)
Well when i use aosp based JB roms and i pull out the notifications, the blackclipping gets very noticeable and annoying. Anyway, my device's blackclipping is beyond usual limits so i'm taking it to the service.
Not just camera app but when viewing certain black colours in image gallery and on internet! Probably about 10 lines equally seperated over the whole screen especially when trying to display mostly black but also with white on the screen. It's really hard to describe. It's actually most noticeable on the camera button in certain exposures on camera.
Any feedback would be welcome as I have only a day to take back!

On which Rom are you? I saw this too and upgraded my Rom to latest ARHD and it's gone I think, or at least I can not go d the right angle anymore.
If I see it again I will report back.
