Samsung S-View rainbow? - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories

I just got the S-View cover for my Note8. Thing is, the entire front has that rainbow effect. Almost like it is oily or the glue hasn't fully cured.
Even when the screen is turned on behind it (Always-on display), the text looks very blurred. Is this normal?

I can't comment on the problem causing the "rainbow" effect. But yes, the blurriness of the AOD that you described is exactly what I experienced with the S-View case on my S8+.
I really wish that Samsung would resurrect the design of the S-View for Note 5. That was my favorite case of all time.

I had the 4 but it was similar to the 5 in all but the way it attached. I was just saying yesterday that style is still my favorite. Although given recent trends, I wouldn't mind it being covered with alcantara. The soft feel might be a nice change. I miss being able to access the camera with the case closed.

Gear VR blurry?

Hey everyone,
I just got my Gear VR and I just finished setup. I have tried to adjust the focus on the headset but it seems no matter what I do it always has a bit of blur to it? Is this normal or should it be able to focus into a perfectly clear image? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Someone else had the same problem on reddit, maybe it was you? It seems that when you put the Gear VR a bit higher by adjustung the headstraps, it will come into focus, atleast that was the case with the other guy.

No.. it wasn't me lol. I will try that as soon as I get off work. Thank you!
So playing around with it, I found that certain experiences like in tutorial just aren't very sharp.. The quality looks much better in other VR apps like Oculus Cinema.. Its still a little blurry but nothing terrible..
Do you have a screen protector on the Note?

I have a screen protector and noticed the same thing . . . guess that is the culprit?
by screenprotector.. You mean plastic or tempered glass ?
I would say both. We might be introducing the blur because we are placing a additional layer of glass or plastic on top of the primary glass. Under normal conditions we do not see pixels right. But with Oculus Rift the ideal resolution is 16k! That's because we have the screens so close to our eyes and you're using lenses. I'm not sure if the lenses are used for magnification or if they allow us to refocus on the top layer of the screen. You might be seeing the bad quality of the protector first, then a possible inner layer of dirt or moisture followed by the actual screen. I always use the shower method to apply my protectors. Maybe there is still a layer of moisture trapped that the naked eye cannot see.
Please don't remove your expensive screen protectors and blame me if you still have a blurry effect. I do plan on removing mine because I have this nasty halo effect. That too can't be good for this application. Also make sure that all the plastic film protectors are removed. Seen this one unboxing and it appears that both sides of the lenses have those protectos applied.

Yes I have a spigen screen protector. It's extremely clear with no halo effect. Most people can't even tell it's on however as Chrisonxda said it's possible the additional layer is causing the blur as the image passes through.

Please let us know the results if you remove the screen protector. Before I remove mine I'm going to test it on a friend's note 4 as he doesn't use a screen protector on his..

Don’t have good news regarding screen protectors. Per the Gear VR operator’s manual page 6 of 61:
“Remove the mobile device screen protector to get clear visibility. “
Sadly I won’t be able to confirm with my own glass protector because when I went to order this morning Samsung was out of stock again. I should have ordered earlier but I was concerned with Verizon compatibility and I wanted to see more feedback from people.

I ripped my screen protector off. Didn't make a difference. Some of the content is just more blurry than others. But wow is the over all experience amazing. I brought mine into work. It is a pretty cynical crowd since I work for a video game company. Everyone who has tried has been floored.

I actually see this blur people are talking about and has nothing to do with the video. It's just a dirty lens. Whenever I get that smudge due to eye lashes etc, I just wipe it with the glass cloth and it's back to clear. I thought I had an issue with my eye or something lol.

ditto. i ran the Gear VR with two different Note 4s: one with and one without a screen protector (film type). they both looked the same in terms of clarity...besides the scratches on the unprotected one. lols. Samsung is probably thinking about those who have damaged screen protectors or those crazy rubber ones that have that orange peel effect. and maybe those tempered glass ones as well since they just add onto the phone which might cause difficulty in docking the phone to the headset.
I think I figured out the blur and why it's there somtime when I swear I didn't touch the lens. Fog. (I think the weather also affects this) It's defintely fogging up. When I take the headset off, I see the fog vaporize off the lens. So maybe I should apply some anti fog.. hmm
Mine fogs up too. I wonder if the anti-fog spray for glasses will work?
well technically the gear vr is mostly the same as the oculus dk2.
i have the dk2 at home so i can confirm that its allways somehow blur and not perfectly crisp. you have a "sweet spot" at the middle and the more you look at the sides the more blurry it gets...
this is how the optical lenses work now and will only get better with better hardware.
nethertheless dont get too much distracted by it...
for best results:
- adjust the right ipd and also try to find the optimal vertical alignment
- keep the screen and the lenses clean (hopefully the lenses are not as fragile as the dk2 lenses are)
gl and have fun! :highfive:
I put some anti fog spray I use on my hockey visor worked perfectly.

Touchscreen white hue/smudge

Hi guys.
I have an issue with my new Note 5, which I bought 4 days ago. However, I had this problem with my old Nexus 5 as well. I want know what the issue is so that I can avoid it in the future.
Basically, after a few days/weeks my touchscreen will have a white hue/smudge in the center when the screen is off. I can see it clearly in the sun, it stands like a white stain in the middle and it's been only 4 days. I remember I avoided this with my Nexus 5 by applying a protective screen but after I took it off, in matter of weeks the smudge appeared.
I could put a protective screen on the Note 5 but I read that it interferes with the S pen. If it doesn't interfere, I'll go right away and apply one. However, I want to know what causes this. I haven't dropped in water and I mostly keep it in my pockets and at home on the table.
Thank you guys.
I have a Zag glass screen protector on mine and the S pen works fine
I was skeptical of glass screen protectors until one was placed on my new Note 5 at Sprint. Sold on it now.

I don't really know what you're talking about. I've never, particullary, heard something like this. In this cases, you really should attach a photo so we can figure out what's your problem. A "white stain" could be anything: from dust to your hands sweat or even actual damage in the screen itself. I've subscribed the thread to investigate further about this, please consider to send me a photo of it. Cheers!
PD: No, every screen protector work perfectly with the S-Pen no matter of how thick they're (the S-Pen could work even at 1 cm of the screen itself).

Samsung Clear View Case for S7 Edge - will you risk using one ?

So I preordered an S7 Edge and I am now looking for a case. The ideal for me seems to be the official Clear View Cover, so I can see the always-on screen through the transparent front plastic panel.
However, I read many horror stories about the official clear view cover for the S6 Edge scratching the screen.
One option would be to use a film protector on the screen together with the case, but it would just be too much for me and the screen protector would probably need replacing every month or so if the case would still have the scratching issue.
I wonder if Samsung did something to avoid this with their new Clear View cover for the S7 Edge ? What do you think ? Should I risk ordering it ? It is quite expensive compared to other options.
It's mostly user error becuase,but either way I don't like folio cases so I won't be getting one.
issue is when the cover is closed the cover slides on the glass... and since it's not felt or soft touch, it grinds up the dust/dirt that might be on the screen...
Believe me the S6 Edge Clear View case scratching the screen is not user error. There's a whole thread with the details. My screen got scratched the first week, and I returned it to Samsung to have a new screen fitted. After that it came back with a thick and ugly screen protector that only covered the middle third of the screen and the message "if you leave that on you can keep using the cover". Needless to say it came off and so did the cover.
Now I have the same dilemma as the OP, my phone supplier (Telia Denmark) messed up and promised delivery of my S7 Edge this week, but they can only get it next week so they gave me a DKK 500 (£50) voucher for their accessory shop - this would cover a Clear View cover for my S7 Edge but I'm not buying it if it has the same problems as the S6 Edge one did. The alternative is to buy something unrelated, but the only thing I really need is a wireless charging pad which they unfortunately don't stock..
So if anyone familiar with the issue has access to one of the new S7 Edge Clear View covers, I'd like their opinion on whether they have done something to fix this issue. The main cause was that the inside of the front cover was extremely hard plastic, and that there was play so the front cover could move around and drill tiny particles into the glass when it was kept in the pocket. I suppose there'd be two ways to fix this, either coat the inside in some soft material or eliminate the play of the front cover against the screen when it's closed.
I have my S7 Edge in an official Clear View case and I can't for the life of me figure out how to make the damn phone keep the always on display showing when the case is closed. No matter what it just goes into sleep mode.
I really hope it's something I'm doing wrong otherwise it's a bit embarrassing for an official accessory to behave this way.
EDIT: Forgot to say, I can see daylight between the case and the screen when it's closed over. It feels soft but I can see how if some grit got in there and it was in a tight pocket or something it could cause scratches. But that would be true of any case.

Thanks for the reply - I guess the sleep mode thing is just a bug that'll be fixed in an update, because it's listed on the Danish Samsung website as one of the features that you can see the "always on" display through the case.
The main point here is that you say it feels soft - that's definitely NOT the case on the S6 Edge case, which feels completely hard. So it sounds like they have changed the material, in which case I might give it a go!

I think I might have used the wrong word. I think smooth is a better word to describe it, the material is definitely still hard.
apparently the s7 edge clear view case has been redesigned to prevent it scratching.. not sure how true that is though.. it looks like there's a little circular felt sticker on one corner..

Thanks for this - however, what looks like a felt sticker in the corner I think is just the magnet that the phone uses to detect that the cover is closed, there's a similar one on the S6 Edge cover.
The video does seem to suggest that the issue has been fixed, but I'd still like a 100% confirmation before I order one - I ended up going back to the cover on my S6 Edge after I my screen got bit scratched anyway, and now after about a year there are literally hundreds of those small circular scratches on my S6 Edge display. Don't want the same thing to happen to my S7 Edge
I have the s7 edge and also bought the clear view cover today. Not sure but i think they tried to fix it by lifting the cover from the screen. Only the edges seem to touch the cover. The screen itself has a space to the cover. The magnet in the corner seems to still rub on the screen. But we will see. I have a mich bigger problem! The always on display is deactivated as soon as the phone is in the cover and closed... the clock appearence changes and goes off after some secs.... i was not able to fix this till now. And as the new always-on feature is the best for me, i will give back the cover if this is a general issue and will not be fixed soon.

Similar issues are with S7 Edge Clear View Cover as well, within Three weeks of use have caused scratches on my S7 edge near the edges :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

Wow that's bad.
I got my S6 scratched and thought long and hard when it came to my s7 but did not as I got a shop to open the case and found the same flex on the case that causes the scratching issue.
It is things like this and exploding phones handled poorly that loose customers.

Can anyone please help me to find, where in menu od S7 Edge can be found possibility to activate or disactivate Clear View Cover option?
In my previuos Samsung phone it was named S.View and was located in Accessories menu.
Using it and truly speaking it's cool. Using it with screen protector so no need to worry about scratch.

How big a problem is LCD burn/shadow on Note 8?

I was looking at refurbished Galaxy Note 8's on eBay and all the sellers list this problem. They have multiple quantities available though so I'm wondering if they just list this to cover themselves in case it has it or do literally all of them have this issue? I have the S8 and I know it has the same type of screen, but I've never had an issue. Is LCD burn also a common problem for the S8 and S8+?
I have my note 8 since Nov 22 2017, and it does not show any burns, shadows or abnormal tint/color anywhere, FYI, it is a LED panel, not LCD

I was wondering the same thing.
Anyway, on topic: I've had mine since about April 2018, which isn't as long as some others, but I also have no discernible burn-in. An issue I do have, however, is that my screen scratches incredibly easily. I have a couple of really bad scratches and some deep ones and I don't do anything funny with my device. It's either laying face-up on the desk or it's in my pocket. Some of the scratches has weird shapes to them that I can't figure out where they even came from or how. Other than that, no other issues or problems. Screen is still clear and very pretty and no strange artefacts.
Screen Burn-In is not really an issue, unless you are gaming or textings for really long periods of time. Or have a picture displayed on your device for over 2 hours.
I have massive amount of burn in of the whole keyboard,and the top of the screen. Irritates me to no end, I have reversed my colors of my keyboard but I doubt that will help
I see a really varying experiences about this issue, it reminds me about another issue with the sides peeling off, some posted very bad peeled sides, specially on black models, in the end I think these occurences might be batch-related, or pure and simple bad luck, my note, as many, many others
is more than a year old and happily does not have any problem whatsoever

That does sound weird haha.
As far as the peeling, when I first got my Note 8, I could feel an unevenness on the sides. Turns out that there was a thin plastic film just like there was on the top and bottom when it came out of the box. I just peeled it off. Is that what you were talking about? I just assumed it was put on at the factory before it was boxed up as like the protective plastic on the screen and back. Was I wrong to peel it off? It didnt seem to affect the finish at all and shortly after that, I put the phone in a case anyway...
The units suffering the peeling problem showed a different color where the peelings occurred,

my note 8 did not have protective films at the sides, just front and back, and no peelings anywhere so far

Interesting. Thanks for the link. The more I look in the XDA forums, the more I am second guessing my choice on getting this phone. Between the screen burn, the peeling paint, the charging port burning out, mysterious cracks in the screen, etc... I am wondering if I should have done a little more research. So far, knock on wood, this first month has been trouble free and hopefully it stays that way.
And as far as the protective plastic film on the sides, maybe it is a recent change that Samsung is doing? I honestly couldn't see it but could feel it and when I peeled it off, it was perfectly cut out to go around the buttons. One of the posts in the link you provided mentioned a protective film over the colored back glass to provide a better visual look. Maybe that's what I discovered on the side and was supposed to leave it on but I couldn't stand the uneven feel of it before I got the case.

Question Bad sensitivity spot issue

Hello,
I need some help from the xda community.
Just recently bought S21 Ultra, but I have an issue while using S pen with any application that has push sensitivity recognition just in one spot.
For example 'Infinite painter' or 'art flow' with sensitivity brush like 6B pencil.
I'm not completely sure that it is hardware (display) issue of this phone or all S21 Ultra have this issue.
I want to ask someone to try it either to confirm or deny. If it is the issue of this particular phone, I still have some time to change the device.
Thanks for your help!

Okay well in that case I would say a faulty digitizer, I guess you should get it replaced ( under warranty )
I've seen many users having a similar issue which was triggered by a magnetic case thats why I asked about it ;-)

yeah, I've googled this issue, I know about magnets. But it looks like there is something underneath the screen that produces some magnetic interference. And it works with very big pressure... I was just wondering if everybody has this issue and just don't care\know, or it is just me. That's why I've asked somebody to test it.

So, as I understand - you did try S-pen with any application that support sensitivity recognition in this area and it works? The general notepad or any other application that is just for writing works in this area of the screen. The problem is only with push-level recognition.
How do I enable the pressure sensitivity?
Here is what I achieved on my S21 Ultra (snapdragon, USA t-mobile variant) using an older s-pen taken from an older note. But when I used different pressure, the Infinite Painter app acted like the pen was either on or off, but no gradients in between. Like I dragged the pen across the screen and pushed harder and softer, but the result was just no ink when too soft, and pure black when hard enough or harder. Nothing in between. Is this because my s-pen is too old, or did I need to turn on a setting in the phone or the app? I selected the 6B pencil in the app.

For example 'Infinite painter' or 'art flow' with sensitivity brush like 6B pencil.
I'm not completely sure that it is hardware (display) issue of this phone or all S21 Ultra have this issue.
I want to ask someone to try it either to confirm or deny. If it is the issue of this particular phone, I still have some time to change the device.
Thanks for your help!

I don't have infinite painter or any other painting app, but I tried my S pen on Samsung notes and there doesn't seem to be any irregular spots on the screen. Both tracing and pressure work on all parts of the screen as far as I can tell. I used my Tab S7's included S-Pen.

Thank you! Now I'm wondering if it is S-pen issue. Just noticed that if I hold the pen almost completely 90 degree to the screen, it just works fine on this spot.
