Not to mention needing driver source to get the screen to play well with our chip set

It would be nice if it worked though. I'd like something better than a 320x240 in my x10 mini but I didn't expect it to be possible anyway.

It would be nice. Or i can find someone who does the job.
Why would you want a different screen than what is on the S2? I dont know of another mobile device that has a better looking screen than our, or one thats really even that is close to a sharp!!!
Idk. Just not Hd like the iphone. Still it is alright...

Put them side by side and you'll see that while the iPhone wins for resolution and clarity, the SGS2 far exceeds it with contrast and colors.
Tottaly agree... I don't see the point in replacing the screen anyway what do you need that high of a resolution for anyway?

I just really wanted one. Still its ok.

The SGS 2 has better black levels. That's about it.

Should have waited for the nexus or went with LG's 720p res phone. Also i work with a lot of iphone fanboys and not one yet has said they like their screen over mine
Screen Adjuster app lets you change red green blue plus contrast and brightness. I use it and it works well.
I use LCD Resolution app. Tw launcher isn't compatible but launcher pro and go launcher works great!

Samsung phones are highly proprietary and don't respond well to changes. Even using a non OEM battery can cause problems in some cases. What don't you like about the display? I think its pretty nice.

Is it possible to put the AMOLED screen of galxy s onto xperia x10 as both have the same screen size?
No because the G S screen is wider than the x 10
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
THen how come both the screen sizes are 4 inch?
4 inches long. Has nothing to do with width

Screens are measured corner to corner. Even if they have the same screen size (4"), unless the aspect ratio is the same the actual length and width are different.

Then which amoled screen suits the x10? wat about nokia e7?
I never got these kinds of ideas... It would be more trouble than it would be worth. Also, you would have to change more than just the screen. Drivers, kernel tweaks, etc.... would all be necessary for you to actually take advantage of it

coz i like the amoled screen of galaxy s so much
don´t think so
buy a samsung phone
Take a chisel and a hammer to it.
Just kidding.
Yep.
Just curious is this. possible to change or fix? I just came from using a nexus s and flashed the matrix kernel making my screen have more contrast and look less washed out , so my request or question is can u change the screen settings on the photon by flashing a kernel and give it more contrast?
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Maybe when the devs have the chance to dug into it. Our after market kernels right now are in their infancy.
Edit: btw this thread will probably be moved ti general. The developers do check those threads too. But the dev threads are generally specific to mods that someone has made.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
O OK I see yea the photon doesn't have as much supposrt be nice to see the things devs come out with tho and yea that's fine don't care where it's moved just figured I'd get my thought and there and see if there's anyone wondering what I am thanx for the response man

i doubt it, the reason why it worked on the nexus s was because of the led nature, this is lcd so all you can control is the brightness of teh backlight. wheres on the amoled/samoled screens you can control each pixel

Voodoo is for amoled screens only. We don't have the levels of adjustment that amoleds have available.

My screen is so contrasty I can't believe you feel it is washed out.
And it is so much brighter than my nexus...
My screen does look washed out. Compared to my epic 4g. Lol. The color looks saturated...and..uhh washed out
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
I agree with ronnienyc it does have a lot of contrast but it is also a little less color than my nexus s. I think we could lower the contrast tho its a qhd screen and every screen must have an option to change hue contrast and sharpness right?
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
What I don't like about the nexus and epic screens is that they are over saturated and skin tones look red or orange.
Any new news? this really has to be fixed.. cant even enjoy pics in your gallery they look so weird.

I've noticed that to, its not just you. The blacks are not the rich high contrast dark that I am used to from my captivate. I'm hoping that we will get some color screen adustments once tweaked roms get cooked up.

So what do u guys think. Bad screens or software related?
Sent from the Almighty Note!
Netflix used to do the same on my iPhone. Its definitely not the screen.
sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note.
So I'm not the only one noticing, great I think. Is there an actual fix in ics for this?
Software, not hardware. Known issue in the IGN.
I think maybe its the quality of stream that netflix uses cause when I play movies from my sdcard i dont notice it..
i always notice it though if the video res is really low.

I'm not in an LTE area but I have 30/5mb speeds with wifi. Netflix looks horrible still. I'm thinking that a lot of apps just weren't made for this size screen and a simple update will fix it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
yes i think hiii is correct. the netflix app on 2.3 series does not scale with screen size i beleve it is kept at a low resolution and that is part of the blockyness.
Use the following Netflix.apk file attached. It'll solve all the resolution problems. I've been using it for 2 days now.
Note: Do NOT update the app after you install it, or it'll go back to the one that doesn't work well.

It works better than the updated one, but it's still sort of disappointing that it doesn't look as hd as I'd expect. Thanks for the temporary fix though!

My Netflix doesn't look bad. But we need to realize that....sure the International version has been out for a while, but is only now going mainsteam with the i717. That will make app developers take notice and start optimizing for the Note screen.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 (The Machine!)
Got mine in the mail today and its very impressive...I notice slight lag when scrolling thru the home screens, but I'm sure a custom kernel/ROM can fix that. Not sure why is there for some and not others. I was thinking maybe it has something to do with the touch screen being calibrated to accept the S-pen? And there's acceptable variances/tolerances in manufacture and programming? IDK but I am still impressed with this device. It took next to no time at all to adjust to the size. Just have to convince my girl to accept the GSII as hand me down phone to justify the second line now on my contract!
P.S. ....this device now makes having Netflix on my phone an absolution!

NO, IT IS NOT NORMAL. There is an issue with the gnote and its black's. I would like to say 8 of 10 ppl are dealing with it. You can see the black blotch is very clear on the right side of your picture. No phone should do this. A fix should be coming with ICS, I hope

There is no guarentee that there will be a fix for ICS. Most likely, we will have to deal with it.

Yes its pretty bad. The lower the brightness the more visible it is on my note. Its kind of a buzkill when looking at my wifes HOXL and seeing perfect blending and no blotchy blacks.
Its gotta be a software issue, cuz I think I read somewhere the one x and note use the same panel tech right?
Sent from my SGH-I717R using xda premium
Sadly, the black crush problem, or "black clipping," is a very well known issue on both the i717 and n7000 Notes. It doesn't look like the official ICS update is going to fix the problem, but at least one n7000 developer, Supercurio, says he may be able to fix it once we have the official ICS source code.
Even though the problem affects nearly every Note, Samsung has never even acknowledged that the problem exists.
Keep your fingers crossed...
