So I've had a Galaxy 10.1 and now the transformer prime. While I wasn't able to compare them side by side, it seems like the readability of the galaxy was better. On the prime there seems to be some stray pixels around next making it hard to read. I've attached a screenshot. If you zoom in, you can see on every S, P, O, etc, a couple pixels illuminated below the letter. Is this what everyone is seeing?
Edit: In order to attach full size screenshot, I had to upload the png as a zip. So download and change extension to png.
Is it possible to upload a screenshot in the native resolution of the Prime? (1280x800) because in this tiny picture it isn't visible I guess.

Uploaded the PNG as a zip. Just change the extension when you download it.
Yeah, if you're trying to find out if the screen is bad...
Please take a picture of your screen.
A screenshot is only giving us what the s/w is displaying (that is, your shot shows nothing), you're asking about a display hardware issue.
*EDIT:
Here's his screenshot.
Looks no different than mine, except I use large font...

Ok, so I guess my question is changing...is the software dorked up and causing the problem? I'm guessing that everyone's will look similar to the problems that I'm seeing. Its just strange in that the reviews for the screen on the prime have been very complementary.
Are you just referring to the gray pixels at the bottoms of "curved" letters?
That's just going to be the choice in font and how it's handling rounding our corners using pixels.
Through the Prime's actual display it's not even noticeable, only through rasterized images like these... To me at least...
You'll definitely notice differences in text between a Galaxy Tab 10.1 running Honeycomb and a Prime running ICS. Google completely changed the system font in ICS and while I find text to be overall smoother in ICS, it does have some instances where it's not as "sharp" (due to the anti-aliasing they're using to make it look smoother).
It looks fine to me, try looking on a different computer and see if the issue is still present. My first prime had band of pink and green and even the screenshot i uploaded looked like what i was seeing however i was reading my post on my pc and there was no issue present. It was a gpu issue with my prime.
Take a picture with a camera thats what i did.

My Streak used to take very good photos which came out natively at 2592x1944 pixels, around 300kb in size. But suddenly that has changed and now photos are only 640 x 480 pxls and about 80kb. I've made no changes nor can I find any means of returning to the higher quality. Can anyone shed any light, please?
When using the camera there are settings for this. I am on my IPAD so i cannot provide instructions. Maybe later when I am on the phone.
Hi,
There is a strip of very small settings buttons down the left hand side of the viewfinder area, touch the top one and a scrollable box comes up, somewhere in there are the resolotion settings. Make sure you check the superfine option, then pick 5MP option.
The buttons are really fiddly, it takes me a couple of tries to get the settings menu up.
Hope this fixes your problem.
The pics I take with my streak are usually around 800MB

Not on mine I'm afraid! There are five buttons on the right side (brightness/contrast, store location, white balance, flash mode and zoom), but none whatsoever on the left side???
I remeber that being the case before the Froyo update. Are you on 2.2?

Yes, I am. And I had high quality photos both before and after updating to 2.2. It's only recently that this has happened and I can't think what I must have done to have caused it, nor can I find any resolve. The last thing I want to do is a cold reset, so if anyone can suggest how I might be able to reinstall just the camera app, perhaps?

HI AidanBell,
the option to set the quality of the camera is just below the brightness and contrast option.
Once you click on it just scroll it and you will find it.
Thank you so much. At first I still couldn't find it, but eventually I realised that the brightness/contrast menu is scrollable - which is not in any way obvious nor have I ever known before! So of course scrolling down I've now finally found all the quality controls. So simple and yet so beautifully hidden! Thanks again to everyone who helped with this. Job done.
Humility (big title but not too big and in the middle)
When we lack humility, we may often find ourselves humiliated.
maybe something like this?
Humility
Humility is the only true wisdom by which we prepare our minds for all the possible changes of life.
-George ArlissWhen we lack humility, we may often find ourselves humiliated.
You may want to give more detail..?
What type of background do you want? or do you just want the text with a black/white background?
Give a type of background you want, like a actual image, what kind of font do you prefer? or is any fine? What TYPE of font do you prefer? Like FANCY or HARDCORE?
Sorry, I thought I did.
I want the background to be black with white letters.
Thanks
1 thing, and something I can't find.
Whats the resolution for the Vibrant screen?
Also making sure so i dont have to do this again and again..
In the middle of the screen in white it says
HUMILITY - big bold letters
then under it
When we lack humility, we may often find ourselves humiliated - Smaller than the big bold letters but readable.
Is that it?
I just wanted you to get what i was saying so i just made one with a random 800x800 frame and the text...
Is this basically what you want? you didn't give too many details or anything... I just need resolution for screen.

Hi, you're correct but make sure to have this "
Humility is the only true wisdom by which we prepare our minds for all the possible changes of life.
-George Arliss" before "When we lack humility, we may often find ourselves humiliated " and the resolution is 960x800
Thanks a lot!
Yeah, 960x800 for a scrolling wallpaper.
Looks good xrider
Hmm... I'm actually looking for a lock screen wallpaper. Is 960X800 ok?
quick bump
This might help
I did an article about a simple way to make your own wallpapers using Photoshop. thanks to a very nice xda-developer named ritalin. You can find the story and the PSD file here at androidspin
I made my own but I don't have PS any more.
Thanks Rider!
I love this wallpaper:

it is from the N73 and idk why i love it but its my fav... does anyone know where i could download a version i could use on my galaxy s 2? I would love thanks! thanks
EDIT**
found the file:
just not good quality when applied to my phone, is there a way to fix the resolution? Im not good with photo editing
How picky are you about how it looks? I can't do anything about the original, but 5 mins in photoshop should produce a very close replica.

Edit: Ok, here is the 800x480 version of the picture. The caveat is that I can not get it to display properly on my phone. Under the select wallpaper screen it fits perfectly, but then it shows up funky when you look at the actual home screen.
Edit 2: Use this version, but do not crop out the black. For some reason it is only displaying 1/2 of the image, so by adding extra it displays the whole wallpaper cleanly.
Edit 3: If you need a scrollable version let me know.

THANKS! now if only i could get the icons, your the best!
In the main Android forum there is a massive thread full of icon sets. I suggest looking there. You probably won't find something identical, but you may find something similar.
I don't know how much this matters to others, but I've noticed on my phone that when I do the hand-swipe motion to capture a screen, it works fine but the quality is mediocre. Everything from the color density to the clarity just isn't as crisp/accurate as I would assume and hope it to be. Has anyone else noticed this? If so, has anyone found a way (even if it's an app) that this can be remedied?
I also just tried the ddms approach, it doesn't work for me; screen comes up a peach-ish color across the entire thing.

You're the first I've heard of this problem. All the screenshots should just be unmolested PNGs (without any h/w overlay effects baked in (like mDNIe)) no matter how you take 'em: homebutton+powerdown, handswipe, ddms, airdroid, ...
Post an image of your screenshot here so people can see what you're talking about?

It's just not as...crisp/clear/vivid as it is on my phone. Even the color itself is off. The 2nd one below it is of my old wallpaper, which is a better example of how it's more a faded version of what I see on the phone.

I really wish I could get the ddms method to work, but in the meantime the (minor as it may be) difference between the screen captures and originals bugs a little. It just seems like most of the screen shots I see others post (such as in the thread dedicated to it) look much more vivid.
I noticed this the first day I had my phone, but thought it was just a fluke or some new touchwiz feature akin to the "linens" that iOS 5,6 had. But my note 3, white now on full stock MJ4, never rooted or tampered with yet seems to have some banding and aberrations with displaying medium grays. I have attached a screenshot that you can download and try for yourself. I am positive this is a bug, and with my limited knowledge I feel it is a software issue more than a hardware one that will hopefully get fixed.
Steps to really see the problem:
Download my screen shot on to your Note 3 (or open chrome browser, remove all windows so it is the gray background with the product logo as attached, then screen shot it yourself)
Do the following in a dark environment to see it best. (please)
Open the screenshot in gallery.
Zoom into it and pan around.
Play with different brightness settings and see if the banding with grays is more evident.
Turn on screen rotation, rotate screen.
Zoom and pan on the same screenshot in landscape view to see that the banding is apparent still only on the Y-axis, proving it was not part of the image.
I attempted to capture this on video and even scan it in my scanner, but it wasn't obvious like it is to my eyes. I want to know, does this affect other people's note 3s? If so I won't care as it really isn't a problem. But if it's just my handset, then I want to get it swapped out instead of risking a bad screen or any other on board hardware. I am most worried because the problem is different day to day and the banding seems to be greater towards the bottom of the screen
If you did all this, thank you!

Same issue here as well as my girlfriends N3. If you mess around with the different display settings (dynamic, professional photo, etc) it increases it or decreases it. I've only noticed this with Chrome however. I will boot up my Evo 3D to see if it does it on there as well as my 2k12 N7.
