Black border on the screen - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Today when i check my phone the display was not filling the entire screen. there seems to be a black border.. .i.e the display is 1 mm shorter than the actual screen size.... i dont think it was there before today... but may be i dint notice...
can u guys confirm if u too have the same kinda display ?

erhm,yes,same here.
So, we cause a triple murder before breakfast, start a race war before dinner - that's uh, that's a pretty good day.

Are you getting this in all the apps and even on the homescreen as well? If your not getting it.. then I would suffice that it is just that app that your running now that might not be optimized completely on the screen grids/borders of your Note.
Now if your getting this as well in all of your apps including the homescreen/lockscreen.. My second question then would be... are you on stock ICS ROM or on a custom one?
Some custom ROMS have some light blue border that is faintly visible when your trying to look at it. Nothing of a big deal though (to me in particular) as I know this is just a ROM (and therefore a software) issue and not on the hardware one (which would give me much more of a headache if that really happens)

have you tried changing the kernel? if you have.. is it still there?
See also if you can wipe dalvik cache in CWMR... and reboot after.

As a matter of fact I never have seen this before... I'm but yesterday I noticed it... N m pretty sure that it was note there b4 as I would have seen it at the first place

I have changed from note core to speed mod and vice versa... still no go... In fact I have also tried a nandroid backup of what I thought when it was working fine... Still the same... I have tried to wipe both caches as well.

Non responsive touchscreen

Hello,
Since I've bought my Incredible S about 8 months ago, I've been experiencing this problem. Somethimes, when I'm writing a message, there is 1 letter that doesn't work, if I press on it, it chooses the letter besides it. If I exit the app and reopen it, everything is fine. So its only the keyboard that's acting weird.
I had this on the standard 2.3.3 and 2.3.5 and now on 4.0.3 with the Virtuous Quatrro ROM.
Now I'm using the default ICS keyboard, on Gingerbread I used Better Keyboard.
Does anyone know a sollution?
Just to notice, my phone was send to HTC for repair somewhere around Octobre last year, and they replaced the whole front, including the screen. 2 weeks before that, they replaced the motherboard. So I still had the problem after the repair. And I think it's not software related, bevause it's just when I'm typing something, and not when I'm scrolling trough menu's or something like that.
Had the same problem. And I have a solution: don't notice it
I know its irritating sometimes, but that's not a real problem, so take it easy

Well, half the times I'm writing a message there is at least one key not working, and I have to reopen the app, it's quite frustrating...

I have had that problem with my mum's Wildfire S as well.
But then i realized that the phone had not been rebooted in a while.
Restarting the phone did the trick so i assumed that there were too many programs running in the background.
However, now after i guess a couple of months, the problem still persists albeit at a very minor stage.
Either lock the screen then unlock it. Or reboot the phone.
Both methods work for me when I get this issue. I use the lockscreen when I need my phone but if I've got a 5mins spare ill reboot.

The funny part is when this issue occurs, sliding the lock screen also seems impossible
Then lockscreen and unlock it again and all is fixed? ..... when I have issues with lock screen I just lock and re-unlock then it fixes it.
Does that work for you?
Sent from my Incredible S using xda premium
Locking and unlocking the lockscreen helpes, but there has to be a permanent sollution for this right?
Not that I know of. ....are you using just stock lockscreen etc or do you have 3rd party apps like widget locker?

Ahh then I honestly have no idea. I get it nown and again so it doesn't bother me too much.
All I can say it maybe try a different rom or kernel. Other than that I'm unsure maybe something internally it knackered as a worst case scenario.
Sent from my Incredible S using xda premium
I had this problem aswell. It started out in the same way as yours just being a tad un responsive, but slowly got worse. What it turned out to be was that digitizer was faulty as I replaced the digitizer myself and the problem was solved. As you say that the screen etc has been replaced before this could well be the case. I would recommend getting in done professionally as it isn't an easy job. Look on the market for a touch screen test app and see if you have any dead spots.

i've had the unresponsive lockscreen issue when using cm7 and cm7 based roms, then today i checked set cpu and i had a profile for screen off - a low clock speed with conservative governor. Changed to interactive and slightly high clock speeds and dont seem to be facing the issue any more....at least its been okay for the past 6 hours...hope this helps
I find if you lock the phone and wipe the screen until it's nice and clean it fixes this problem. It could be caused by a buildup of finger oils on the screen, or from your face after making a call. Not to sure though.

[Q] Best App to Correct 'Pink Spot'

Does anyone know of an Android App that will correct the 'pink spot' issues generated by the Galaxy Note camera (happens when taking pictures of 'light' areas in low daylight)??
....it looks like a white balance problem so I am looking for something that can adjust this correctly before taking a picture (standard camera settings do not work) OR can correct the problem through editing after the picture has been taken.
Many Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply...I will try the light metering options... Do you know if changing the ISO settings would also help?
Do you also mean that the problem is less on custom roms? If so, have you found any that work better than others in addressing this issue ?

Havent tested ISO settings, you can try, I am curious.
Not necessarily custom roms. I am now on lc2 rom and noticed it, on lci dbt csc I did not notice it. I dont always see it on all roms, thats what I mean.
I do notice differences in picture quality across roms, stock and custom Cm9 for me are hazy, stock ics not much better. Stunner. 19 was good, 26.1 again not good. Havent a clue why I experienced that, others dont experience it, so it for me is rom dependant, for you it could be different

thanks again....I will have a play around and see what I can come up with....given the number of people that seem to have this problem it seems worth some 'digging'
Your welcome, and Yes definately,
My findings are inconclusive. I did track down rom relation, even updated camera app from one rom to another, didnt work, in that one instance.
Havent tested kernels thought, they could also be different.
That centerweighed to matrix worked for me, but changed the yellow circle to a matrix lmao
Good luck bug hunting

Galazy note slightly off screen?

I am not sure if if is fully visible from the pic
I am currently on rocket rom v3
(i am not sure if it is related though)
My note screen is slightly off the screen
That cuts the edges of the widgets or
Button boxes like on the pic.
Any idea to solve this?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA
Whoa, that's new. You could try flashing a stock GB ROM via Odin, just to make sure if it's a software or hardware issue. I think it'll probably go away. No idea what could cause it, though.

Maybe you can try calibrating your screen before you flag another ROM.

You are welcome !
But still weird that only few people have this issue ?
What rom and android version are you running ?
I am running rooted stock 4.2 with multi-user (GF^^).
To recap i have got the problem with :
- go launcher hd for pad
- nova launcher
- stock launcher
on the other hand no issue with go launcher ex.
I must add that i feel the UI very heavy.
when i am web browsing, pinch to zoom is not as reactive as on my one X.
Same thing about scrolling over a page.
Are you guys experiencing this aswell ?
I have this issue, and its VERY annoying.
I on the other hand, DON'T THINK ITS AN ISSUE! I think this is just normal.
The only reason we notice it, is we have devices that are much more responsive.
I have a HTC One X, and can literally flick the screen and it goes where I want it, the Nexus is more of a drag than a flick.

Same for my S3 vs. the N7.
This could probably be "fixed" if the Lauchers were able to distinct a "flick" from a "swipe". On the phone I touch much more pixels with one flick, than on the tablet , due to its smaller screen.

I agree with what you say, but it seems there is a problem with the inertia.
Look at those screenshot https://www.evernote.com/shard/s64/...33f1f9e7d013/dd9030c957c51b5f1bc1fee19803038f
You'll see that the purple line go back instead of going straight. It acts as if the screen was too sensitive and was taking into account the fact that you lift your finger off the screen.
If you have an android phone, try to swipe with trace enable. You'll notice that the purple line go straight as it should.
For me at least on my one x, the pruple line (inertia) go straight and i have no problem when swiping through home screen.
Edit : Just to let you know. I have tried Apex launcher and it appears there is no "pull back" problem. Actually it is luquid smooth^^
I don't think it is a problem of launcher, as you can see on the screenshot I was not on the home app that the launcher is, but in chrome.
It happens no matter what app you are on, as I think it is either related to software or hardware.
But I must admit I feel like it is hardware.

(help) Galaxy s diaplay turned pink

My phone's diaplay has turned pink.But when I press the home button to open task manager then the area behind recent apps dialog box becomes as it should be.
So please anyone could tell me if it could be repaired or the screen is to be changed!
Thanks in advance
Hmmm. This is interesting.
Did this just suddenly happen or did something happen to it, eg. Did you flash a rom/kernel or did to get submerged in water etc
If it did get submerged in water, its likely a hardware fault
Try flash in Sempahore GB, that has Voodoo colour, and see if that changes anything - if not, its likely a hardware fault

Follow what @Soryuu said to do. In my opinion, if this is a hardware issue (display to be changed), then you better buy a used phone as it costs equal to the display. Or you may use it as your secondary phone and buy a new quad core phone

That's probably why - when you reassembled the phone you must have also done something to the screen digitiser without realising.

Same setting point in CM 10.x
In CM 11 it is called "color calibration" under "Other device options"
