Did anyone with minimal clipping on ginger bread have negtive effects on the ics leak?

Just trying to figure out what the numbers look like on the chart to see if Samsung ruins the good notes.
As it was mentioned in the original thread... I think it was reasonably conclusive that there were NO good notes. They're all the same.

I honestly disagree with that. I think what exists is something similar to what we did see on the skyrocket,
a combination of an actual software issue and the manufacturer sources different screens
someone had posted a picture of a few notes, all having a slightly different screen appearance
similar to the skyrocket pics I posted a while back

Sadly when mentioning my theories I get lumped into the naysayer group.
I do see that there is an issue. I scrutinized the previous methods of determining it yes, but the test image does a fairly good job of displaying the problem. Funny thing is, that test image does not display consistently across any of the displays I check...which kind of sucks...every display I own had some issue or another
It was me, I posted 3 notes side by side, all with the same settings and vastly different screen appearances. Y'all need the pic for reference again?
This is something I really only notice when viewing low res video...If I use HD or the like I dont have this issue..
Same on my PC when I watch a ****ty trailer and the blacks look blocky on my monitor..Not to say some notes dont have a real issue but I think its software mostly.
The leaked ICS build simply shifted the black clipping point from between 0 and 1 to between 6 and 7. They didn't do anything to actually fix the problem.

I know this, but I'm trying to find out if it will adjust all Notes to the 6-7 range or if it will keep the gradual fade that some "good" Notes have on GB.

My best guess, based on what I know happens when you shift the black point, or increase contrast is that, on ICS, box 7 becomes roughly the same brightness as box 1 on GB. If you had a gradual fade in GB, it will still be a gradual fade on the ICS leak. The only difference is that it will gradually fade to 7 before clipping to black, rather than all the way to 1.

But Samsung has not acknowledged that it is a hardware issue. In fact, they have not acknowledged a problem at all. If they come out and say that it is a hardware problem, then fine - at least we know. But just moving the black clipping point to put a band-aid on the problem isn't doing anything at all.

It's "doing something," but it's certainly not something that would "correct" the problem. Initial testing indicated that they simply shifted the system-wide contrast, nothing more. (since you can return to the old GB results by setting contrast -15).

They are saying something....from a letter in the International forum thread about this:

It's kinda odd that the letter is dated for 4/17/2012. So Samsung wrote the letter in India, mailed it out to that guy, he got the letter, took picture of it, and posted it on XDA all in the same day?! I don't think Samsung Customer service is that good to have a letter sent and recieved in the same day. Smells Fishy to me.

My new note having this issue but I was watching some review on youtube he was saying that most of the note has this issue so i have to keep it what if i get the next one with more issue, but was wonder if this is hardware or software issue though ?

Let's see if HTC has corrected the crooked screen issue with later hardware versions.
To see if you have a crooked screen: turn the display on and have enough ambient light so you can see the blackout on the top layer of glass. Compare the edge of the lit LCD underneath the blackout. Is the LCD "square" with the blackout or does the LCD look rotated slightly beneath it?
To check your hardware rev, go to Menu, Settings, About Phone, Hardware Information, and look at the hardware rev at the top.
Here's the thread that started this.

It's not a thread. It's a poll. And it's probably the only way for us to find out if and when HTC fixes the crooked screen issue so that people who have the problem bad enough know which hardware revs it affects.

I can see why you'd make a poll for this, but I don't think they've produced multiple hardware revisions yet?

I guess you got a good one then. My first one had a good screen but i replaced it because of the green pics. Hopefully the next one I get will be good if not Ill go to something else for a little while and come back when its good again.
Mine is definitely crooked, unless there is some illusion some of us see and some of use don't We just need cm7 to fix this! (being facetious)
Id be very interested if those that say their screen is perfect could take a close pic of the phone with the notification bar pulled down and post it up here.
Itd help those of us that see it on our own compare to what you guys say is straight on yours.

When I received my HTC Amaze, the camera had absolutely no issues. Since that time, I have, essentially, "garaged" my phone. I installed a Steinheil screen protector on it and have kept the phone in my room. Today, however, when I attempted to use the camera application, I was met with absolute failure. Whenever the camera detects a light source, lines flash across the screen and the camera application temporarily freezes. Pictures can be taken, but they have "digital" lines and sensor errors across them (example picture). Sometimes, the image is shown twice, over a horizontal "split screen".
I have no idea what could have caused this, my device is entirely stock.
I have reset my phone and the issue is not caused by fluorescent lighting.
This is my third replacement phone (I had two replacements for my Sensation). I want a working phone.
The screen protector is worth $7.50...
As far as I know you can't do anything else, and even rooting might not help. I know it sucks, I got the Amaze instead of a 4th mytouch4g, but getting another one is your best bet. I haven't seen or heard about this type of issue, you prob got a fluke. HTC's quality control isn't the best...

Hmm I'm not sure you can really call that a "known" issue.
My sister, her boyfriend, my brother and I all have an Amaze.
No problems with our phone.
Honestly though if I picked up my phone and my screen did that number I'd call and get a warranty exchange with a quickness.
No need to post or ask about it cause it's pretty obvious it's a defect.
"Known", in that it is now something that exists. That is why I extend the statement by mentioning the purpose is to establish the issue in the situation that another individual has the problem.
Phone was 100% stock.
I am now on my fourth T-Mobile replacement. The replacement that I just received has the antenna connectors broken off.

I have no clue why or who ever in Samsung development messed this up, but when you stream flash videos in full screen the notification does not auto hide. To me this is completely unacceptable as it ruins the possibility of "full screen" and it can actually damage the oled in these phones.
I think this fix should be a MUST for any developer currently making rooms for this phone. The only from currently that I know of that fixes it is Cyanogen.. but I do want a stable ICS and oh boy can't we all dream of a perfect aosp from... dreams of super fast clean friendly user experience...

AS said above, it looks like your are running ICS which is in beta and has not been officially released, you are complaining about an unfinished, unofficially released BETA rom.
You may need some time of reflection and a lot of reading to understand what you are doing......
Why be a dev if your goal is half ass roms?
You answer your question yourself why build a rom based on a half assed buggy beta release .
Put in a very simple way . Why waste time on a buggy beta build that may be very different come release day .
When ICS is released and if a dev thinks its worth fixing your problem i am sure they will .
jje
OK it sounds like no one understood , I will attempt to explain this better. This is NOT an ICS problem this problem is with EVERY rom including stock update strait from Kies. I went as far as contacting Samsung to get a fix, but as you can see in my profile I live in the US and the US Samsung will not help me with my UK phone. Why everything between us is so divided beats me but still the issue remains.
As I stated currently the only rom that fixes it is Cyanogen but just as JJ stated why use a buggy beta when the release will be much different/better. Also I am currently running ICS and have not encountered a single bug. Everything works perfect except for Samsung's stupid attempt to burn in my screen. I don't know about everyone else but I paid $580 for this phone and the last thing I want is a permanent" 3g" on my screen...

Then give us more information. Saying that streaming videos don't go full screen is no where near enough. What ROM, website, browser etc are you using because the last time I tried this (Not long after the S2 was released) it worked just fine. I tried a 720p video from megaupload and it went full screen just fine. Same with youtube/youtube app. Give more information, not attitude. Also, i'd wager than there is zero chance of your display burning in a 3G icon. Perhaps the full notification bar if you use MIUI/a white or light theme but I highly doubt the majority of people will experience any burn in, never mind such a small specific burn in.
Fair enough.. more info. I usually run completely stock and decided to play around with ics. A main site I stream with is twitch.TV (I am a big starcraft2 player and use the pro streams to get better) while I'm at work I watch for hours sometimes 7 hours straight. This WILL cause burn in.
When the problem occurs:
Watching ANY true flash video online(not YouTube app) while in full screen mode in any browser or Rom besides cyanogen.
If you don't believe me test it yourself. Go to twitch.TV pick a stream let the video load and click the full screen button. If you have a rom that the notification bar disappears let me know and you won't hear.me "moan" anymore.
Or maybe one of you super nice Brits can call UK Samsung and get an official fix. The number is 08702420303.

Download the diff, check for relevant changes (there's not many for fullscreen) and mod your own browser. Before you ask, I'm not going to hold your hand on this one, and am not willing to do it for you either (I don't use an ICS ROM).
Not asking for any hand holding or hand outs for that matter.. one last question can it be done completely from the phone?

Sure it will, you just have to be willing to put in some work. Namely, as I already said, downloading the diff, checking for relevant changes (I think there's only two changes relating to full screen) and getting them into your Browser.apk. You're probably going to need to do some reading.

I've compared the same apps using my Note with my Skyrocket. The Note seems to have a very serious banding issue while the Skyrocket displays them fine. (See attached images)

This is one of the problems we are going to see on this device. These graphics were not made to stretch as far as the note stretches them. As more HD phones come out, we should see less and less of this. As pioneers, however, we'll have to deal with it for now.
It's the same reason phone apps look bad on tablets, and why tablet versions are eventually released.

An easy way to tell is to put a picture or graphic with similar tones to the graphic in question into your gallery. If it's a hardware issue, you should see similar banding. If it's simply trying to scale a low res picture too high, you won't.
I remember when the iPad first came out people were installing all kinds of iPhone apps on it and them complaining about how they looked. That's why they put that little "2x" button in the bottom corner. The apps would default to iPhone size unless you hit the 2x button, in which case the app looked bad. Then they started developing tablet versions of the apps and presto, problem gone.

Then why are people returning their phone and get much improved performance?

Don't get me wrong, there probably are some units with bad displays. That happens with every phone that comes out. I'm just saying it's not likely a systemic hardware issue. By all means, if people are getting better performance than you, go see about a replacement. But if we are all in a similar boat (like the guy that posted a similar thread showcasing banding in the notification pulldown), it's likely a problem with the images, not the phone.
try this
Try this photo and let me know the results in low light.
I wonder how effective it would be to take the stock images that are most affected (pull down notification, for instance), upscale them and hit them with the gradient tool in photoshop. Maybe if I get some time I'll give it a shot.
Couldn't find a thread about the ZU on this, but this issue puzzles me. I have a new ZU for two days now and can't really get over the seemingly bad haptic feedback implementation. Whenever I hit the same button a couple of times, or a couple of random ones fast, the intensity of the feedback dramatically increases. Coming from a Note 2 I never had this issue. All this results in an uneven experience when writing.
I read about other Sony's having this issue, wondering whether this is 'normal', because it surely doesn't feel like it.
No one has tested their haptic feedback?

Ive had this problem too may I ask what firmware your running.* I was having this problem on .290 as well* have you upgraded your phone to the latest firmware? What is your device model?

I updated to the latest firmware, 4.4.2, build 14.3.A.0.757. Did you manage to fix it? I talked to LordM about it and he says it's inherent to Sony Z Ultra. Others report differently.

I didn't say that(?), I said that I have the same thing with mine, and I haven't looked at it as something strange - until now. Isn't it normal? I can "fix" it by decreasing the vibration intensity from the keyboard settings, but is this a hardware issue? Software? I don't know, and I really don't care. It doesn't bother me one bit, but that's just me though.
I DO however remember when the Ultra got released, and people were complaining about the weak vibrator, but I, and some other people couldn't understand how people could say that, since the vibrator was and still is brutal as hell. Could it be that we simply have a better vibrator? Does the people with the weaker vibrator have a the "defect" vibrator? Who knows!

Well, you stated "Hi, that's normal. It's just how the stock keyboard is made. You can adjust the vibration intensity in the keyboard settings". Inherent/normal... Anyway, it doesn't really matter, because some people find it weak/strong and others, like me, find it totally weird and different from Samsung. It does seem better now with the stock Google keyboard, will test further tomorrow.
Not sure about your last thoughts, but I do know that this must be the biggest 'vibrator' trololo

It's not even close to being anything like Samsung or any other OEM. You've probably noticed by now that Sony does things... a little differently They do some really great things, but then they'll also do some super weird stuff that makes zero sense. Love it or hate it
I just have to comment that picture, and you asked for this one: Yo mama... :laugh: I'll stop there, hahah.

You're absolutely right, Sony is a little 'different' indeed. The ZU is quite a beast, very different from the same lame old Sammy phones. I hope Sony keeps improving!
Well, I reckon I'll just have to leave this here then hahaha...

I lost the problem at .681 now i am on Nordic .757 with doomKernel on c6833. if you have a custom rom you are able to change vibration intensity.

You don't need a custom ROM. I'm on stock 757 (Nordic)
