On my previous s8+ and Note 8, when I use a black theme w/ a black wallpaper my recent apps screen is completely black. On my Note 9 it looks grey then is black at the very bottom of the screen. Can someone check their phone and please give feedback. Thanks. (see attached photo). View attachment 4596579

That image looks all black to me, but either way it's not a screen problem. I'm using good lock's task switcher but I just turned it off to check, mine when stock is just a slightly dimmed background. See pic. Also I've attached a good lock switcher screenshot too, maybe try it out and see if it's alright, I'd recommend it regardless as it looks waaay better than default.

I think it's safe to assume we both clicked on the image as we don't have super vision haha. I see a pure black screen with just the white text and buttons, I don't see any grey at all.
Ok, instead of doing a screen shot I took a picture of my Note 9 and my Note 8. I've tried 6 different pure black wallpapers and they all look grey on my Note 9. On my Note 8 I'm using the same pure black 4k wallpaper and it's black not grey. This only happens on my "recent apps" screen, everything else is black.

Send it back for a replacement/repair,don't waste any more time soliciting opinions.
While all input is well-meaning,it's doing nothing but eating up precious time for returns/exchanges before it turns into a warranty issue.

Perhaps,but,the OP has compared the same paper & others w/another phone.
If it were me,I wouldn't waste another minute.
Of course,go through the usual steps before contacting Samsung (clear cache in recovery/factory reset if that doesn't do it).
Some here feel such returns are frivolous & drive up costs for everyone,that's what the mfgs want you to think to reduce returns.
Truth is,it's a business decision & the costs are already factored-in when they set the MSRP,whether they accept a certain percentage of defects as the cost of doing business,or,tighten up quality control to lessen the cost of servicing warranties/exchanges.
I guarantee the people who advocate for "sucking it up" for the greater good unicorn of lower costs wouldn't do so if it was their device having issues.
Regardless,if the phone is seemingly defective,it's everyone's right to expect Samsung to make good on their warranty.
If one sits on their hands & does nothing but post in forums about it,they're getting nothing but empty platitudes,as useful as a FB :good: ......

I once had an AMOLED black wallpaper on my note 8 that showed the upper area where the status bar was as slight lighter than the rest in the home screen, however in the apps screen it would be pitch black . One could notice it in a dark room. My case was software.
But yes, I get your point of view.

I've had two phones w/issues the mfg basically refused to acknowledge:
A Galaxy S3 that had Touch/zooming issues & an HTC M7 w/seriously FUBAR B/T issues on phone calls.
Haven't had hardware issues w/any phones since,but,that's where I'm coming from when I recommend people to immediately contact the mfg with any quality issues.
The sooner the better for getting the process started/documented.
At minimum,it's user error,so be it,no harm,it'll get figured out,but,only if the end user takes action directly w/the mfg if all else fails.

this is not an issue just an effect in recent apps. why would you think its a screen issue if it only happens under certain conditions/place?
note 8 is on 8.0 and note 9 is on 8.1 so maybe they just tweaked the effects a bit or maybe its just the theme.
people are so paranoid with the damn screens its beginning to be insane!
im thinking of opening a new thread for people issues using the note 9 .
note 9 paranoia is quite high, its as if people are begging for issues
Samsung customer support must be having high suicide rates this past month dealing with imaginary issues.
its probably making things hard for people that acctualy have legitimate issues... don't cry wolf

I swapped it out. Once I updated the software on the new phone it started doing the same thing so I'm assuming that it's a software change. I compared it to a couple of friends Note 9s with updated software and same thing.

Hello all!
I've picked my Nexus 7 today from CPW, even though I knew of the existing screen issues. Before buying it I had the time to have a quick look at it, just to make sure hardware wise was fine. Well yes, it was fine, but the colors are not calibrated. I know it's not a new thing, but at least it's not a hardware problem (or at least I hope it's not! ).
I was wondering if any of the apps/mods available in the forum/play store can actually help with the colours of the screen? I know a few years back Nexus One had issues with colour calibration and Nook as well, and there were a few mods developed which helped with the problem.
I'm happy with my nexus and I don't really want to return it, as the new one might have excellent colours but other issues would be present.
Would appreciate some suggestions or we could simply start a discussion on the topic and what could be done about calibrating the colours.
p.s. Apologies if this is not the right thread!
I would try trinity kernel, if u flash his kernel and buy his app u can do what u want to the colors. Its still alpha tho. Im using it on my gnex and its awesome.

Screen Adjuster helps a little, but doesn't do anything about the poor gamma. And unfortunately it makes the UI a little laggy. So probably not worth it. I haven't seen anything else so far.

The trinity kernel with the tkt app does not have the option yet for color calibration.

I must be seriously lucky, the screen on my Nexus 7 is brilliant. I have the Evo LTE, and I'm accustomed to nice screens. I get tons of compliments every day by people looking at my tablet and saying how crisp the colors and text are. I'm usually the one with the issues, but the sun shines on a dogs ass every now and then.
Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it now and i could actually achieve satisfying results but as u said the performance is seriously affected! At least this proves the colours can be fixed with software. I hope Google comes up with a fix of some sort !
About the crisp and clean screens... I've a galaxy s3 as well and I don't even want to compare it with the nexus!

I shined a light on my dog's ass and I saw no improvement in color response. What other steps did you take?
The gamma on mine is way off (down around 1.2 at 48% for me), but as I posted before the colour temp (on mine at least) seems excellent. Swings and roundabout I suppose. Unfortunately Android doesn't have colour management baked into the OS (neither does iOS) so there's no really practical solution at present. If you want proper calibration on a tablet sometime soon I guess the only option would be to get one of the x86 Win8 tablets at the end of the year.

I think CM ROMs usually offer calibration in the display menu? I think the upcoming CM10 will have it
My cellphone is more vibrant
But it has an amoled display. I usually run the Nexus at 25%, to save battery and because I find it too bright ( indoors anyway) to keep looking at it when it,s at 75 - 100%. If they do send a OTA fix, I might have to drop it down to 10%
Here's a screen shot at 25%. I don't know if a screen shot is accurate to show my screen brightness, but I'm good with the brightness and color.

It goes into such great details.
I wonder if HTC could do something about the night mode. Since it captures better photos in night mode than the phone adapting to the darkness. Maybe do something were the sensor notices it's dark and reviews the time on the phone to automatically go into night mode.
Jeez never read a review that was so in depth

Makes me want the darn thing even more.
I'm excited to see HTC turn around. I've stuck by them through it all since the OG Evo days! I can't wait to see the One and experience the next generation of HTC.
amazing
that's good:silly::silly::silly:
In fact, I do really like the iphone-similar appearance on HTC One.
It's iPhone like only in that it's metal and square... It's distinctively HTC in design though. It's way more EVO than than iPhone. I'm pretty proud that they made all of the choices for the right reasons. Now my biggest concerns are s off at some point and getting more than 1 OS upgrade out of them.

So I just got the point 3 update on Viper ROM the capacitive buttons haven't caused any trouble as of yet and everything else appears to be working pretty smooth I like the new um power button thing on the swipe down menu and it seems to still run about the same speed pretty snappy using lighting launcher and screen filter to save battery it does charge really slow but you gotta give them credit this is really there second phone with a nice size battery and I bet you the next release will have even better power management

I come from the line of thinking that if my screen is darker then it's probably not using as much power, granted that difference may be minimal.
Is there anyway we can modify the layout of the pull-down device settings like the wifi tether icon doesn't seem to work on the Sprint version unless you have a specific data plan so I'd like to either remove it or swap it out with the application that I run for tether

Well, your line of thinking is incorrect. Imagine your phone is on full brightness and you put a piece of tint on the front of the screen. It will appear to be darker right? But in reality, it's just not projecting the light because you have a filter over it. Screen filter is exactly the same thing. There is no battery savings to be had with it.
Toggles will be edited for next release to fix/remove those that don't work or are useless. A

Received today my unit.
First impression is great, phone is really fast, no lag at the moment.
I have compared the screen with Note 3 and white looks whiter than on Note 3. On Note 3 has yellow pigment.
S Pen got some new functions and it is really precise.
At the moment I am discovering new functions and all.
If you have any questions just ask.

Running like 8-9 apps, tried switching between them and it is fast. No lag at the moment.
About the gallery. It opens it instantly but it takes few seconds to liad the photos. Until then it is white screen with blue bar on top
Phone dialer has no lag, it opens instantly and it is ready to use the same second. Same goes for contacts, no lag.
Battery life, to soon to judge but on this charge it took 12% to get 47 minutes screen on. It was moderate usage.
I must say, samsung keyboard is bad. Screen is big but typing is not so good. Will change keyboard for Android L.
Ram usage is 1.5 gb in normal.
And I have disabled few apps like facebook, instagram, ets.

Lol, no
Is the Korean version? or the U.S version? What color is your Note IV? Can you swipe open the multi-window from the right screen or do you have to use App swifter or back key?

What are the restrictions? I'm already an evernote premium subscriber, but I'd love to get an extra year free with this!

I am in Europe so I believe it is international version.
Color is white.
Yes, I can swipe from right corner but not all apps support that right now. For example Tapatalk does not allow that but whatsapp does.

Really dont know. I am not using Evernote. I have just activate it to answer the question.
But I believe there are no restrictions, it is normal premium.

Thanks, I'm hoping it just adds to my current subscription. Any free dropbox space? 50gb? :laugh:

Also, I noticed in the manual that was just posted : http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/c...7/SM-N910_UM_EU_Kitkat_Eng_Rev.1.0_140926.pdf
There's no mention of UV sensor, oxygen sensor or even the heart rate sensor... the "device layout" goes flash, but doesn't mention the sensor right next to the flash... do those sensors work on your device??? There was speculation that Samsung would have problems getting the Note 4 to pass through certification if it's a medical device (those heart and oxygen sensors).

There is 50gb free space on Dropbox, but only for new users. Exiting users does nit get that.
I did not get extra 50gb on my account.

Sensors are working fine, at least heart rate and oxygen. Will check tomorrow if UV works.

Received today my unit.
First impression is great, phone is really fast, no lag at the moment.
I have compared the screen with Note 3 and white looks whiter than on Note 3. On Note 3 has yellow pigment.
S Pen got some new functions and it is really precise.
At the moment I am discovering new functions and all.
If you have any questions just ask.

Got it from Samsung direct.
if it is snapdragon version, can you post some benchmark screen shots for the geekbench and gfxbench?
Could you please post some photos? Ideally with the Note 3 for comparison if you have one available.
Is it a review model?
I've had my 3T for about five months now, and I'm already seeing burn-in. I thought this stuff usually happened after at least a year of use. Does anyone else notice it on their phone? Is this cause for an RMA or am I just gonna have to live with my screen looking ****tier and ****tier?
Can you post pictures of this burn-in??

You have tried so hard, troll. Try somewhere else.
I'd appreciate it if you didn't bother to respond at all if you don't have anything useful to share. Thanks in advance.
Post picture
People are asking for pictures because we need to see it to determine if it's fixable or not, I also have the device and if it is true then I would also like to prevent any screen burn-in. So post pictures with black background​, brightness to the max and people will provide information based on data provided.
Had mine from day one have no issues whatsoever. But I do take precautions, dark theme, don't use prominent blue wallpapers. And run a screen burn in tool once a month (might be pointless). You should of thought if a amoled phone was right for you to start with. Another note it's not as bad as the past generation amoled panels my old S4.
