Black background notes - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

Hey, how to write notes on black background in the app? I mean in the same way as in turned screen off. I think white pen on black background looks better than normal way, black pen on white paper.

Download "Snotes" the original note program from earlier models of the Samsung Note series. It let's you pick background color and what not. A lot of people prefer it to Samsung Notes , so give it a try.

Mine is Blue.. but its look like Black..

It's actually dark blue but it looks Black from far or in pictures, any ways I got a white note and I love it. The carrier I went to get my phone did not have stock at all but thanks to a miracle they restocked just hours before I went to get my phone but only in white. So I really needed a new phone (my previous phone is N97mini thorough nice looking its a huge mistake) and I wanted to get a white as black is so common and I'm truly sick of black phones so I wanted to get the white but last minute I chickened out and wanted a black or rather dark blue but I was forced to get the white as they only restocked white and I'm glad I got a white Note
Its a really nice change for once having it in white and so far no dirt or any thing like that, could be because the phone is glossy for the white so whoever thinking of getting the white do go ahead and get white, maybe be it MIGHT get dirty in the long run but it seems to be a quality white
Hope u guys have fun with your notes like me whatever color it is!

White.
I was looking for a black/dark blue one but the store only has the white on stock. I never imagined that i'll be having a white phone but im loving this.... The only complain i have with my white note is the back cover. It has smooth glossy finish. I prefer the texture of the back cover of the black note. It is easier to hold even it doesnt have case.

I initially wanted a White, but realized latter that this color is mainly used by women everywhere. So I got myself a Black Note! All my android phones were Black - never got any other color......
Got the white one, and the white flip cover. The blue/black version is butt-ugly
.....
Initially had the dark blue one and used for a month, then I was told the white also got launched, and when I saw it.... GOD... just could not resist the beauty of the beast so gifted the dark blue to my bro and now proudly flaunt the CERAMIC WHITE GALAXY NOTE.
I have the "black" one.

Questions about the burn in of note ! !

Is there any burn in on galaxy note?I have a s8500 and have some horrible burn in like clock,am pm,signal bars,alarm,so many horizontal and vertical lines ! !Is this too present on NOTE?My s8500 is about 1.5 yrs old and started to show burn in 2monts after i bought.
And i also want to know the difference between the saturation of note vs s2
Which one is better, samoled vs samoled +?
Thankx in advance
I believe its too early to say anything about the screen burn. I have owned the phone since November, and my screen seams fine so far. If you are that worried about it, you can install launchers that hide the status bar, or allow transitions in the start pages.
Regarding the saturation, the S II is too saturated causing unreal colors. No idea if that changed with ICS though. You should head over to SII forums for that. The Note displays colors closer to what they really are. They still are a bit saturated though.
As far as amoled+ vs amoled HD is concerned, I would suggest the later. 1280x800 with 5.3 inch screen looks much better than 4.3 with 800x480. In the end, its your choice. Compare the 2 in hand and pick what fits your needs.
I've had mine since November also. I have a black wallpaper with white Android logo in center. Have noticed that the Android image will faintly show on dark app backgrounds, am a little concerned. It's very faint.

Today looking a white image I saw that I already have burn in in the status bar with their icons.

Trick for status bar burn in is to switch between 12 and 24 hour clocks every week. It shifts everything over slightly
Also depending on the launcher you use. You can hide the dock and status bar
Just to clarify things...
The burn in problem is not specific to some AMOLED based models!
All AMOLED based phones will get the burn in problem sooner or later!
I just recently switched from a Black Note to a White one, the first had a bit more than four months use and I noticed that the screen, while not burned in, wasn't as bright as it used to be and I found myself increasing the brightness more and more month after month. Then when I switched to a White Note, wow, I didn't remembered how bright the screen was initially!
So yes, our beloved Notes suffer from that Burn-in problem just like any other AMOLED smartphone.
Also, take caution when using it outside, since our screens also degrade under extended periods of UV light exposure! No matter if the screen is on or off!
Another good reason to use a Super LCD based screen like the one on the One X.
Cheers!

Yes the note can suffer from pixel wear a.k.a. burn out.
To prevent this:
Use launchers that hide the notification bar on home screens.
Don't use apps that don't have the option to hide the notification bar.
Use full screen browsing with browsers such as Opera Mobile
And don't leave static images on the phone for extended periods of time.
And for the love of god don't use a cradle or docking station because that will destroy your screen! Think about it? Leaving your phone on all day at work in its docking station showing the time and weather. What do you think is going to happen to that screen?
No burn in here at all, heavy user since Note launch.
I have always used Opera though which allows full screen mode so my status bar is always obscured during web browsing and games.
Thank god I didnt buy one of those yet. I mean who releases a phone that has these problems? The AT&T store is a good example of burn-in. You see the low brightness, lines and butned in launcher icons. Thats what has held me back so far.

Not trolling, that is what i saw when messing with any amoled screen device in the att store. When browsing or navigating through screens i would see launcher icons. These were display devices though. I did want a Note but this is what scared me from it. The SGS2 also exhibited this behavior. So now to see if the SGS3 does the same thing, i'm due for an upgrade and want to try a different device other than the iPhone (pending what the iPhone 5 brings). I also noticed lines(greenish hues) when viewing white webpages, but this was strictly on the Note, not the SGS2 or Skyrocket variant.
So I do believe this is strictly related to the amoled displays because reading other topics i see this being issue being brought up often(Q&A section of this sub forum has screen issues brought up often). I'm just concerned because I did want a Note, waiting for ICS and keep reading about it(that is why I am here). My last visit to the AT&T store made me search for those issues. If I am going to buy something I want it to work for 2 years without fail.

The SGS3 does the same thing.
Yes the Note experiences burn in ESPECIALLY with STATIC images. The android status bar is a static image so it will wear out all the amoled LED's near the top of the screen especiall the blue LED's.
If you set your lock screen time out to like 1 minute then after a few months you will begin to see the amoled pixel wear. To see this, view your screen on an all Blue, Gray or Green background.
As vibrant and beautiful as Amoled is I would prefer a super LCD screen on my Note.
Why cant just the dev create a transparent status bar?

Ive had mine since december and use my phone loads and i had a massive burn in from status bar, so sent it off the samsung for a new screen, they repleced fine nd had it back in a week. Screen is sweet now, i now use fullscreen browsing on my phone because thats when i mostly uae my note, hopeully i houldnt suffer as bad now.
That is bad. I have to cancel may NOTE plan and go for the less desirable optimus VU. My phone activity requires to much static moments like thinking long at a chessboard.
I have 3 notes 2 black and 1 white.. Entire family uses note.. Both the blacks have burn in on top.. Visible in all blue or grey background.. Black's have been used for 8-9months while white is just 5months old..

Check out the burn in on this...
Have had my Note since november, I'm not experiencing any burn-in whatsoever.
SGS2 has an RGB layout which will burn in faster.
The blue pixels in AMOLED displays suffer the worst from degradation.
As a pentile layout uses a shared green pixel for the red and the blue, the red and blue pixels are smaller.
Therefore degradation is less noticeable. But it will happen eventually.
In fact one of the reasons Samsung has switched to a pentile layout for the Note and SGS3 is because of the longevity of their panels.
I'm very curious about the Note 2 screen as I understand it's RGB.
My dad has a SGS2 and the burn-in was absolutely horrible.
He wen't to a service center and screen burn-in was covered by Samsung's two year warranty.
No problems there.
Cheers,
Daan

The Galaxy S was pentile and it was notorious for burn out. I dont think rgb is any better or worse than pentile when it comes to amoled wear.

[Q] Black patch on LCD screen

Yesterday I have observed that there is a one inch long trapezium shaped black patch towards the bottom left corner of my Note.
That particular patch is brighter than the surroundings, so you cannot make out it is present except for very dark colors. My touch screen is working fine and as I said, display too is fine, just that there is a dark patch which visible only in dark environments.
What could be it?

Sounds like your pixels are going out maybe? That could happen with a bad lcd or if you dropped it they have an app in the market if it does not work you will probably have to return it to samsung under warranty

See 'galaxy note screen issues' thread.
This is a common and annoying hardware issue with earlier built Notes. From what i gather, can be corrected via screen replacement. I also have this issue on my s2, but did not realise this until I saw it on the Note. Flaws seem more glaring on Note's larger screen.
I had a Note with large black blotch that was very visible on start up and shutdown ...more rarely during dark video scenes. I returned it to Amazon and got replacement. I recommend you do this, or get screen replacement.

Change S-Pen screen off notes color

So in case anyone was wondering, if you switch your spen for a different color one, after a little bit, your device will recognize the new color of the pen for screen off notes. I have the yellow spen in my black note 8, and sure enough it writes in yellow now instead of the grey it was before

You can also go into your settings and change the default color the s-pen writes in using screen off notes.

This only applies to making the SNotes black instead of the signature color - the offscreen note color is still only two options - White on black screen or Signature color on black screen.
Love this feature! Brown writing is a bit tricky to read on black background though lol

I got this from Samsung website at 14.99 so your best option night be order online to local address (friend or relative) and get them to send it you. Better than the non original ones from other sites?

Funny cos I actually find the brown on black quite nice especially when you then save the off screen memo it saves in brown, a colour I cant actually find on the color palet so I easily differentiate which part of the memo I took "off screen" vs the part I wrote while unlocked!

There is a prism green here in the UK for one. And I believe there is a sort of pink shade for the + model in some markets.
Edit: beaten.

Torn between Prism Black and Prism Blue myself... blue looks awesome in renders, but IRL has a faint hue of violet. Black looks boring in renders, but looks quite acceptable IRL. Help plz.
Black, I ordered a phone that's going in a black case, so I didn't need pretty. ?
