[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.

[Q] magnetic field calibration in cm7

hi, i am using cm7 nightly. in stock rom *#0*# works to get a menu where these calibration things are. but in cm7 its not working. my compass is not working right. can any one tell me how fix it?

You don't need a software to calibrate it. Just draw 8 on air with your phone a few times when you wan to use compass. It works perfectly for me.

[Q] any CM10 version which supports PHOTOSPHERE

Hi Everyone,
I am really excited about google's new photosphere and want to see it on my S PLUS.... so is there any ROM which supports PHOTOSPHERE :fingers-crossed:

first of all the phone needs to has gyroscope. and s+ doesn't have.:crying:

I think phone need accelerometr, not gyroscope because someone made running fix but it crash gallery apk.

Nope, its the Gyro. Our phone doesnt have Gyro, so were Screwed until someone patches it.

Accelerometer cant sense ALL the directions but gyroscope can.!

What's the difference between gyro and accelerometr? In gravitational field accelerometr measures g force so in effect we know our position in reference to earth. This same data as gyro only measured in other way, gyro instead of caunting acceleration just keep position parallel(thanks to angular momentum) to earth and from this the phone know where is earth. Simple physic...

so... i think the photosphere will work on devices which doesn't have gyroscope only if someone will modify the app to use accelerometers instead of gyroscope or to optimize somehow( for example: to use street view isn't necessary to have gyroscope to work) .i think that you understand what i've said (the ideea).

Yes. But who to make it? Or someone tell me what to modify, and i'll do it!:d

Thanx for reply
May i know if theres any app which is similar to photosphere, i have tried few of them but not happy after seeing photosphere....so let me know:good:

Accelerometer doesn't track vertical movement, only left and right. At least that is how I know it. Not really sure how street view works though. It may be possible but might need to wait a while.

Accelerometr work in 3d not only left/right, it give this same data as gyroscope, just it is a bit more vulnerable for disruptions, that's all.

U are totally right my friend ! But the problem is, that what if twist our device? Accelerometer is not that accurate and can't sense all the directions in all angles! That is simple coordinate geometry I would rather say.

Yes, gyroscope is more certain, but think logicaly - who twists phone while taking photos I think it is possible to port it, but of course it will have worse accuracy but still will work.

yeah but probably it works on that version which has gyroscope. i9000 international doesn't have gyro but is a version of i9000 ( canadian version i think) which has gyroscope. I have a friend which has a i9000 international version and he says that photosphere doesn't work

Screen randomly getting dim

I have auto brightness off, auto adjust screen tone off and brightness set to max. My screen randomly dims and then gets bright again...anyone know what's causing this?
sEnt from thE noTe 3

Hmm is it this adapt display option maybe?
sEnt from thE noTe 3

Same here then I went into my settings to check the brightness (settings, display, brightness) and it said brightness decreased to prevent over heating or something like that ..check it next time you notice it dimming and see if it's the same thing ..pretty annoying
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app

power saver uses the dimming option for low consumption of battery and make sure auto adjust is off in display settings

Power saving isn't on. Adapt display didn't fix it either

I have everything turned off also ..I checked in my settings every time my screen dimmed and every time the same message ..it was driving me nuts for days (still is)
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app

I've had this happened to me also.
It seems to be more frequent when I'm using Chrome ( not stock browser ). It suddenly gets dim and then may or may not eventually brighten up again, it's pretty random
Also happens when I'm on the launcher but not as frequent
- Automatic Brightness / Off
- Screen Mode / Professional Photo
- Power saving mode / Off
- Auto adjust screen tone / Off
Is there something else I may be missing?

It happens to me while using the xda app. Annoying as hell. It has the same message as Melissa

Does anyone know if this processor does thermal throttling? That could possibly trigger a power save dim with overheating. If we get root this can be disabled using trickster mod.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

The Otimus G Pro had a setting in the hidden menu to disable thermal throttling.

Will do, you as well plz :good:

Thought this was an issue with my phone when I got it from AT&T yesterday. Glad to know it isn't just me. It seems to only have the issue when I am in a low-lite area (at least on mine) but when I am in an area with good lighting and the back light is 75% or more it doesn't dim nearly as much. Would be interested to see what a fix would be for this.

Same for me, it does it in low light obly, with or without power saving enabled. I have the same problem on my galaxy tab 2 (7) and couldn't find a fix yet.

The service mode is brought up by typing *#0011# in the dialer on this phone but aside from that i havent had a chance to mess around in there. I do know that key imput 1 doesnt bring up the main menu anymore.

So I've been having this issue and noticed it like two days ago, and reading all your responses I looked through and noticed I had one of the features that I thought I turned off. Smart Stay says that it starts to turn the screen off when we look away maybe it's a buggy feature (one I never intended to use but it might be the one doing this dimming thing (being one of the first steps to turn off the screen)

(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

Maybe a hardware issue like that:

but if there's something wrong with the display then why the area behind the recent dialog box ok

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

Check that the display flex cable is properly seated. Or see if you can tune it out with colour calibration.

yeah the display cable is properly seated but then also the display is as it is

Try to clean the screen connectors or try with another display.
Good luck

i just installed the app and then just adjusted the brightness accordingly

What ROM are you using? Most ROMs for i9000 have colour adjustment built into settings.

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

thanks
Thanks for the help but i have tried this several times.
but it is same. !!!

Not really satisfying but the main thing is your display works ... :good:
