Black border on the screen

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.

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.

Also are all of your running a specific dpi?

Anyways I'm learning to live with it... But I am not sure if it's the default display size. If some more note users can check and give a reply it will be helpful as 1 already seem to be having the same display

Some questions before I say goodbye to Samsung

Having decided the s4 still suffers from a laggy touchwiz from playing with 2 store demo models last week, and being impressed by the ones smoothness in another store; I'm seriously considering buying a one having had a galaxy S1, 2+3.
I have a few questions if people don't mind answering:
1. I'm not sure if I like blink feed and read you can't disable it. Would using a different launcher or will only a modified rom sort this?
2. Does adding a few widgets to your home screen cause any lag in scrolling?
3. Anyone had an s3 and can tell me what battery life is like in comparison?
4. I like smart stay, I gather there's an app that does similar. How well does it work on the one?
5. Is rooting as easy and safe, ie hiding for warranty returns?
6. Any previous s3 users really noticing the contrast difference ie not so good blacks? I've had amoled for 3 years now
Sorry it's long but thanks if you can answer.

1) A different launcher or rom would remove BlinkFeed.
2) No lag. I have 6 screens and 15+ widgets and I don't see any lag.
3) I've never had an S3, but looking at the data, the HTC One battery is better than S3 but not as good as S4.

3. Check the anandtech comparison between the one and s4, they have the one ahead. The browsing time is excellent on the one.
4. Is smart stay the feature that stops the screen timing out if you're looking at it? If so, it's built into sense.

At the moment, there is no way to disable BF on Sense. I don't know of any ROM that has this yet either.
A new launcher will remove it though (and enable more than 5 screens)

Easy and safe yet. But hiding for warranty?
Once you unlock the bootloader, it will say TAMPERED in HBoot. There is no way around this as of yet. If this voids warrenty, I guess it depends on your carrier, or how HTCs view on it.
6. Any previous s3 users really noticing the contrast difference ie not so good blacks? I've had amoled for 3 years now

I had a SNS before, it had a AMOLED screen, but obviously not as good as the S3. Personally I haven't noticed anything bad that makes me not like the screen. It could be that it doesn't bother me/I don't use it for applications that require top grade screens/the jump from SNS to ONE is big enough to shadow the display technology.
This is really subjective, you'll have to try them out your self.

SmartStay is not available on sense. The phone will turn off whether you look at it or not.
I think, this is the only feature I'm missing.

[Q] Fix for Asylum CM10.2 screen flicker on web browser

Hello
I just flashed Asylum's CM10.2 build and i noticed i'm having terrible screen flicker or sometimes this big black bar blocks the entire top of the browser. It's remarkably annoying. When i scroll, the screen flickers as well. While i can browse, the experience is ruined. I didn't have this problem with 4.2.2. While i could go back to 4.2.2, i would like to know if anyone has this problem or if you had it, how did you fix it? I tried looking for solutions online but no luck.
Thank you very much

This is a known cm10.2 issue and affects all 10.2 roms. Browser and certain apps turn black and flicker etc. You can try chrome, it doesnt flicker at all. Else u might want to switch to 4.2.2 until this issue gets fixed.

Go read the cm10.2 thread in general section. There are fixes there

Didn't really find the fix, but I was triggered by someones remark in that thread.
In Developer Options I had Disable Hardware Overlays untagged. I tagged it, which solved the flicker-issue for me on both Xperia Z and Xperia Tablet Z.
Not sure if it works for you since I have a Sony instead of a Samsung, but worth a try.

Tips and Tricks to improve your USER EXPERIENCE on S5

:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: P.S -> THIS THREAD IS CREATED TO ENHANCE USER EXPERIENCE NOT TO CREATE A BATTLE BETWEEN S5 AND M8
Guys, even after new touchwiz. S5 animations seems slow.. yet the device is super fast.. so my tips would just help you! Thanks to look into it
1. Go to settings>developer options(if not present go to about phone and tap the build no. 5 times)> transition animation scale and shift the value to (0.5 or 0)
Do it for windows animation scale
And animator duration scale too!
2. Disable s-voice from Galaxy s5 it would make u go to homescreen super fast..
To do that double click your home button.. register s-voice go to menu(by pressing multitasking button for 3 seconds and then untick disable s-voice open via home key..
3. You can also use a custom launcher if you don't want touchwiz!
4. If rooted then try cross breeder!
P.s. > I will update it with more things.
5. If you're rooted and have tons of apps, then install greenify app from playstore and hibernate your apps.. this way you can improve battery life and functionality
6. Do a factory reset, which may solve your problem.
Hit Thanks if I helped!

Its confusing that so many people complain about touchwiz...just choose a different launcher like Nova and dont look back.

The truth is that people don't like TW animations, but they don't understand the difference between lag and slow animation. So they complain but the excuse is ridiculous.
Enviado do meu Galaxy S4

How about this novel idea....if you don't like Touchwiz and/or you think this phone lags, then simply don't buy it or return it and leave us happy owners alone.
And for the love of God, please stop comparing this phone to the M8. They are different, period.
OP, I'm not saying you are doing these things, but it's always what these threads end up turning into.

Ok... so which phone should we compare it to then? The S4? M8 is clearly the most direct and similar competitor for the S5 at the moment and they shouldn't be compared to each other? Now that sounds pretty stupid to me...

For God's sake this is not a comparison thread... this is meant to make your s5 a bit more responsive..
So guys please enjoy your devices... dont fight...

My tip: use Startup Manager free from Google Play Store to check what apps starting with boot and disable them. You can disable Samsung stuff with this app. More free RAM. No root needed.

I didn't notice any performance issues relating to the launcher for exactly that reason - Nova is one of the first things I install!
I am actually using ADW at the moment though because I saw there was an update since I'd last installed it on another device ages ago and fancied road testing any changes - I'm loving the 'Wall' animation on the app drawer, and people who've had a go on my phone have commented on how slick it looks

Installing another weather app (or HD widgets or similar) and installing a calendar widget from the play store will fix 2 of those 3.
For the other one, I just put a shortcut to the app on my home screen and go into S health that way.
Each to their own though.

S - voice can be disabled completely using the uninstall/disable apps option.

I wouldn't recommend crossbreeder or any of such scripts on our phone.
It won't make any difference and most likely cause higher battery consumption.

I'm having a lot of responsiveness issues on my TMo Note 7. Scrolling is almost constantly affected, the Samsung keyboard lags behind my typing badly, and I've noticed a lot of times it just seems to miss my taps on screen elements. Happening universally, not in any specific program, though scrolling is worst in Chrome. I got my phone last night, about 12 hours ago.

Oh my God yes I was having the same exact issue. I'm kind of still having the issue now but it's not as bad as it was when I first got the device. Hopefully we can expect an update to fix this

I think I discovered the problem. It's when your screen is scaled down to experience some responsiveness issues. If that doesn't work for you try a factory reset
