I just got a Galaxy Note and have some questions and concerns:
1. The speaker seems very tinny and distorted anywhere close to maximum volume – almost like a blown speaker rattles. It sounds like I am talking to someone via two tuna cans and string. Can you crank your speaker phone volume all the way up without any distortion?
2. Screen color saturation: The colors are way too over saturated. I’ve made the cursory adjustments to brightness and found one interesting app called “Screen Adjuster” and while it allows for general color balance and contrast changes, it won’t let me do much anything with saturation. Anyone know of any apps specifically designed to do this or how to adjust color saturation on this gadget?
3. Screen in general: I had to turn off Automatic Brightness as it seems the screen was dimming/lighting every few seconds. Has anyone else had this issue with their Note and perhaps might have a fix?
4. I’m assuming the only way to get the “Yellow Pages” (YP Mobile) app off and out of my contact list would be via root and a custom ROM, eh?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

Regarding screen saturation, I've read on some other threads that there may be an option in the ICS international version for this setting but I haven't found any definitive screen caps to confirm this. If anyone running ICS can, that would be spectacular.
I've scoured the app market to no avail. I humbly asked the very swell fellow who wrote "Screen Adjuster" to see if he might write a fix but I'm not sure how difficult this might be.
The bottom line is what many people perceive as "color pop" to me isn't at all. It's a simple over saturated display problem. I'm a photographer and one of the reasons I got this device was to be able to lose my Asus Transformer and use this as an on the go gallery display device, but I'd never show anyone my work on this gadget - it's simply so far off of what real colors look like.
I may have to send it back at the end of my 30 days. Damn shame as I am really coming to like some of the other pluses.
If I figure anything out, I'll post back as from reading other threads there are more than a few people who aren't thrilled with this.

I've seen a lot of youtube videos of the galaxy s II and from what I can tell, the screen is still oversaturated like the original galaxy s, with the same blue tint on white backgrounds. Any chance this would be adjusted, or even have a user-adjustable option, by release? I'm guessing a majority of people outside of forums don't care and prefer the gaudy colors, like how they crank up the color on new TVs and everyone's face looks red, because buyers prefer it. But an option would be much needed for those not so inclined to the heavy colors. Another thing I would want is a lower brightness setting. LCDs get washed out but AMOLEDs can handle lower settings and still have good contrast. With that, the ability to adjust the minimum and maximum threshold for the auto-brightness instead of one predefined setting, as well.
I doubt Samsung (or any other manufacturer) would let you modify that much in the settings. The phone is not a monitor, however I certainly see the possibilty of changing those options (or at least some) once some kind souls will start messing with the firmwares and kernels.
*cough* supercurio voodoo color *cough*
If it involves *cough* hacking *cough* I think I will have to pass. And yes, there are less industrious people around here as well.
i am pretty sure that the sgs 2 will have the same same over saturated colours and the tint(looking at review videos).i am not a fan of amoled i do like its blacks but the over saturation does my headache i prefer ips to amoled any day. if it was not their Soc's i'd never have bought sgs.

Or the Nexus S general forum. Fingers crossed.
A challenging task for the devs here ...........
I only see a blue tint when I tilt the angle of the screen. It doesn't take much to see it and becomes more extreme the more it's tilted. Looking straight on is fine. I didn't expect there to be perfect viewing angles but tilting just a little the blue tint is really prominent. Easily viewed on a pure white screen.
Great phone, though I want to use the device to watch videos and two things bother me: the blue tint when not viewed straight on and the over saturated colours. The colour green is very oversaturated much to the point where I think there's green in the videos showing up that shouldn't be there! I know you can adjust the colour tones, that include warm, cold and natural. If the image looks too yellow/green then the cold setting looks a bit more natural on some videos. I would have preferred a proper configuration for adjusting the complete colour balance.
The screen is wonderful but is let down by these two things. If it's something that can't be helped then that's the way it is, but it would be great to have more control over the colour settings and if the blue tint is really a limitation of the type of screen/glass, or the first batch of phones have an inherent fault with the screen?
On thing that is also off is the gamma curve!
greys become dark too fast, shadow details are crushed, even though the screen has the potential not to do this. On the contrary, with such black levels, the panel should be able to show more shadow details.
I suspect this is a battery saving choice, rather than a screen limitation. I'd rather have an accurate gamma though.
Google will need to allow custom color profiles in Android soon!
My Galaxy S has much more natural colors than the S2 that I just bought. I can't stand the disney colors! Hope some developer will be able to fix that soon!
Is it just me?
How come you guys say that the SGS2 has bluish tint? While when I compare it to my SGS(speedmod) and my friends SGS(voodoo) my SGS2 has a yellowish tint to it? I'm a bit confused. Anyway I've bought it and my only complaint is the sound. Voodoo control plus please!
There is some degree of control (not much though) over the saturation in Settings > Display > Background effect.

The easiest way to see this is to view a white page/screen. Look straight on and then begin tilting the phone in any direction. The blue tint becomes noticeable and more extreme the more you tilt it. I wouldn't have a problem if it was only noticeable at extreme angles, but I do see it if the viewing angle isn't straight on. For phone use this is fine, not so bothered. Not so good when watching media.
Regarding the tint,
Also when i purchased the phone in may the gray was going into pink!
On later updates colors seem better! aswell i rember i posted a request in chainfires 3d drivers tread were i ask the guy kindly to add support for custom rgb mode nightmode tones...
So from his application if u play with nightmode function you can tilt your color as u like!

There is actually a post/study about this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124669
Does anyone know if there is a way to adjust the display's color saturation and color balance? While the screen is eye popping to look at, the colors are not accurate. They are distinctly warm and oversaturated. This is great for looking at icons, but not so great for photographs. I know the international Galaxy S II has something called "background effect" where this can be set to 3 presets with varying saturation levels. But this option is missing on the AT&T SGS2. I found an app called Screen Adjuster in the market, but that only lets you increase saturation or change color balance by increasing the intensity of the Red, Green, or Blue values. There's no way to turn them down.
So has anyone figured out a way to adjust this? Thanks.
bump. also hoping to find a solution for this but not having any luck yet
+1 on this.. I am a professional photographer and I used to use my I4 to present my portfolio. As of today I can't do that, or I have to do re-do my portfolio specifically for the SGS2's display. Which I really don't wanna do.
"app called Screen Adjuster in the market"
Thanks for this! At least with that the color temp is somewhat fixable, but overall colors are still terrible. As long as Samsung insists on locking these devices into torch mode we're just screwed. It's a shame that this didn't ship with several selectable profiles like the regular version (although I never seen it so dunno how good that implementation is.)
Working on hardware calibrated monitors all day and then looking at this phone is a bit jarring.

This would be great. Caartoonish is exactly what it it. However, we need to keep in mind these displays are far from professional grade. I won't argue that some software could help bring a small level of 'professionalism', however.
I just read around the web that the international version of this phone has Settings, Display, Background Effects to calibrate?
------------------------------
Well I checked out Screen Adjuster and it has the ability to change R,G,B values along with the brightness and Contrast ... so that's enough to for me to use me Eye-One Pro to calibrate the screen. I just need to put grayscale and R,G,B targets to the phone.
This should work just fine
can you post your settings when you calibrate it?
I also found this
Calibration Hack for Nexus One
Which I am now using. Since it has the grayscale bar built in. But this one requires Root access as you need to put the apk in to the /system/app.

Great find! Do you know if CM7 is a requirement for this? This may be the best option for color correcting the display.
I just realized that with Screen Adjuster, you can change the color balance by adjusting the relative values of RGB, then turn the Brightness down to compensate for the elevated brightness levels. Without turning down the Brightness, the black pixels are no longer black. So it's a pretty decent solution.
Just got Screen Adjuster, are there any recommendations for "optimal settings?"

I'll look into this - I'm surprised you find yours too warm, I think my phone is a little on the cool side - without a doubt bluer than my Infuse.
If it's supported by the I9100, I can probably find the relevant kernel interface.

Problem is... just like calibrating a TV/Monitor is that it doesn't have High Bias and Low Bias R,G,B. High Bias changes the whites and Low bias changes the black.
Also, unless you plan on using your display at a constant brightness level, you will get color shift in the lower end of the spectrum
For what I have done is create an 18% gray jpg and a 82% gray as well as a 50% gray.
ON MY display the whites is on the warm side... but there is nothing one can do about it, because the apps just don't have those value to change
ON MY display the blacks are also very warm...
I WAS able to use my i1Pro (spectrophotometer, unlike the cheap colormeter) to get it pretty damn close to 6500k in the Black and Mid-tone.... again nothing one can do in the whites.
I am 90% happy with the results (I'm anal, but I can't do anything with the whites!)
My settings might get you close to 6500k (most likely not.. because ever display is different, and from what I see here some are too warm/cold..etc).. My settings are to use with Calibration from the Nexus One thread, and they are set up to have a warm mid-tone
Red: 627, Green: 623, Blue: 665
Mind you that I also am using CM's 7.1 with the brightness custom level set to my likings...
But it's night and day difference (if you are looking for realistic color representation). A lot of untrained eyes like the eye popping colors, while a calibrated display is much more subdued.

I keep getting a force close after I install the apk. What version did you use? The app installs fine and will open but when I try to adjust RGB, I get the forced close. Thank you!
I open a thread 3 days ago and I asked if the Prime is worth buying. Most of the people said to wait until it gets updates and the issue are fixed. As far as I saw in the last 3 days, a lot of updates and improvements have done by Asus, but because this forums is rapidly updating its hard to follow all the reviews. So, what was fixed? What issues still there?
And, I shouldnt have any issues with fixing the device, if needed, here in Israel. I talk to representative of Asus here, and as long as I have international warranty I can fix it.
Thank you.
Nothing was really fixed... GPS got swept under the carpet (forces you to automatically use wifi location and then pretends its just the GPS), touch is now responsive. The auto image quality (brightness/contrast/dynamic color) has been taken out leaving you with a poor contrast and washed out look.
Before this update the auto image quality would adjust brightness, contrast and colors according to each mode (power saving, balanced and normal). When it was in power saving mode it would have poor contrast and washed out colors, when in balanced mode or normal it would give sharp images with vivid colors.
Since the update you only get what was previously in the low power mode... Poor contrast and washed out colors no matter which mode your in.
Most user have just received their primes and may not notice the difference but if you compare it to any other android device, even your phone you will notice the washed out and poor contrast of the screen.

For the most part, you will only see posts on here with people asking questions about things that are wrong or that they have a concerns about. This is not a representative sample of the general population by any means. Watch how fast a post that says "wow, my Prime is perfect" falls quickly off the first page - it's not a big discussion, there is not much to trouble shoot.
If you are at all concerned, then I would ask if you are able to return it if you don't like it? If so, then I would definitively go for it. The Prime is beautiful, its display is gorgeous. I was always confident Asus would fix the issues that have come up in the 2 short weeks since it's release (you can check my posts and see I've always said that), but lots are very very impatient. so much so they returned theirs to Asus to get fixed and are now sitting there with nothing while the rest of us sit here with updated Primes working just fine. I still think we'll go through some growing pains as Ice Cream Sandwich gets released and things get tweaked, but I expected that when I bought into the tablet.
No one can answer the question for you. I am not trying to say yes or no. You mentioned a warranty and I wondered about a return policy - thinking along those lines I think you are covered if you do get it and are not pleased or have any problems.

this is not true. Jzen is only partially correct. they did do away with the instant contrast and detail drop from before when switching to powersavings mode. BUT it is not now stuck in poor image quality mode. you can easily tell this by just looking icons. before the icons took a dramatic hit in loss of contrast or details. now it just looks like no matter what mode you in, you have a Normal looking screen. which is great. also saying that now cutting on super ips+ makes colors pop is not a fair comparison. before or after update super ips+ does this anyways because the increase in brightness is so dramatic.
if you want to read about the before update contrast drop in powersavings mode, go a few pages back and read the "Different Performance Modes of Prime/Tegra3" thread I created during first week or so of release. I was the first one to point out the difference.
but to clear up the rumour as others are not seeing the change also, It Is Not Stuck In Poor Quality Mode..lmfao. Jzen is funny.

This is all so true and kinda sad really. people always trying to find the negatives in things. I can see if it was true or something but its not. he was only partially correct and then twisted the whole thing..lmfao. lien you said anything good about Prime gets pushed to the bottom, all people interested in is any so called flaws or defaults. this will change though. as more n more people are noticing this and calling others out on pessimistic views all the time. plus he has no concrete proof of the accusation of being stuck in permanent poor quality. As the people in numbers have spoken, Display still looks great. and whatever they did seems to have increased battery life even more. super ips+ mode only meant to be used outdoors to overpower the sunlight glare on screen. anyone using that mode indoors must be blind..lmfao even regular brightness is too bright. regular brightness is brighter than any other tablet or phone out. then super ips+ brightness just takes off and leaves any other display in the dust in brightness
While using my Tablet throughout the last month, one thing has really been bugging me. The screen seems to be very yellow. Rather than showing white screens as white, they're off-white, greys look a bit darker and greener than they should. The color temperature of the screen is very warm, and it bugs me. Anyone else experience this? Or do I just have a bad screen?
Better question, does anyone know of a fix for this? I'm hoping it's not a hardware problem, but a software one.
Try taking a screenshot ("n" + volume down) of this and let us look at it. I'm guessing if its yellow to us as well, its s software issue. If not, its likely a hardware issue.
Judging by your screen temp, early guess its a hardware problem, but lets see what the screencap shows.

There is app called Screen Adjuster that you can grab from the market. It will allow you to change the color of the screen. I use it for night reading tobreduce the blue.
Just remember to disable it when installing apps. Otherwise the install button will be disabled.
Alright, so I grabbed a screenshot and sent it to my Droid X, which has a totally neutral color warmth, and the shot looked perfect. That's a little depressing, but still, something tells me that it has to do with the stock B&N, cause I know Google did something like this with the Nexus S for "enhanced contrast" or something like that.
I know this is probably wishful thinking, but I'd still like to believe there's a way to fix this.
Also, I tried Screen Adjuster, but it doesn't seem to fix the problem. It seems to just put a filter over the screen.

Touche. I did try the fix listed in there, but it didn't work (for a number of reasons). The problem has essentially been ignored since then, so I'm assuming either it doesn't bother that many people, or I have a defective unit. That's why I'm asking if anyone else notices it.
Though now this thread does seem redundant..
Seems the NT is a bit more yellow than standard.
http://www.displaymate.com/IPS_Tablet_ShootOut_1.htm
The Nook Tablet also has a very good factory display calibration. Its gray-scale is actually more accurate than most living room HDTVs. The White Point at 6,016K degrees is somewhat more yellowish than the 6,500K standard – that was most likely done in order to increase the screen’s maximum brightness, power efficiency, and battery run-time.

Has anyone else noticed the color palette on ICS is more muted or toned down? Its as if it has a reduced amount of saturation. I think it was meant to counter act the inherent over saturation in OLED screens, and is more natural- just want to see if anyone has noticed it or if its just my imagination.

Yes I noticed this a while back and started this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1744846 but I guess not many people have noticed but me and a few others or they are just so happy to ICS on their Note that they are simply ignoring it. I also think its because all the reviews on Youtube where people comlained about the screen being over saturated that forced Samsung to do something about the brightness/saturation. Its a big deal to me cause ICS is not nearly as bright as Gingerbread is on the Note. The only other devices I have seen people complaining about this problem on were all Samsung devices. I hope someone finds a fix or I think i will just stay on Gingerbread. ICS on the Note is way to washed out for me to like it. I need my screen to be vivid or ICS is not for me. White has to be white not blue.
To check to see the color saturation, you can go to your dialer and type in *#0*# and test all of the colors. When I checked mine just now on the official ICS update, the colors seemed crisp, clear, and super sexy. Give it a shot and see what results you guys get.
Alright, so its not just me. I actually prefer the new color levels over what it was before. The colors are much more inline with what I see on my calibrated Dell IPS, just going to have to get used to it being 'normal' after having it over done for so long.
