Hello everyone, I am new to the forums and new to the S3 (only been mine for almost a week) and I rooted it once, unrooted (using 9300XXBLFB_I9300OXABLFB_BTU.zip firmware, probably a bit outdated since it had added a brightness slider in the status bar menu, and changed brightness to color in browser, no big deal). Anyways, the small problem (most likely software) is that when I go to camera, and then to gallery (using the shortcut on the lower-left side) and then get out of the gallery, the 8MP sensor seems to have a black bar on the lower side when holding vertically, or the right/left side when held at corresponding horizontal positions. Easy fix for this would be to just close and relaunch the camera app, but it happens every time. No matter what launcher I use as well.
Had anyone else encountered this "problem" or glitch? And is there a way to permanently fix it?

Hi guys -
I just upgraded from the Cappy to the Galaxy S2 on AT&T. The phone looks and feels great, but I noticed the colors on the screen are not realistic in some apps. The wallpaper on the homescreen & lock screen looks amazing, but the pictures I take with the camera, and the colors in some of the game apps (i.e. Hanging with Friends) look very different. The colors are over-saturated and dark. I've never had this issue on the Cappy, and was wondering if anyone else had similar problems? I searched online and found the international version has a display mode option setting, which is non-existent on the i777. I tried using the Screen Adjuster app, but it didn't help an awful lot.
Took a screen capture with the phone, but the colors look normal there. Would need to borrow another phone or camera to take a picture...and then will post pics as a side by side comparison on what the screen captures.
Anyone else have this problem and/or know how to fix it?

I assume you are running a stock ROM - if so, I believe Samsung defaults the screen mode to "dynamic" and got rid of the option to select other modes (normal and movie) in their ROMs. Most (possibly all) of the custom ROMs on this forum add that selection option back. menu>display>screen mode.

Thanks for the quick response! Yea, I'm still on stock ROM...was thinking of rooting and flashing to a custom one soon. Will report back results of the display after. Thanks again!
Hi all. I've posted this query a few times in the Vibrant's various subforums, but haven't received any helpful responses.
Quick Controls work fine in in portrait mode, but in they don't work at all in landscape mode.
To pre-empt any suggestions about this issue being charging related, Quick Controls don't work in landscape whether or not the phone is plugged in, full battery or mostly discharged.
I've noticed this issue on CM9 and other ICS ROMs, and now it appears on the JB ROM I'm using (SlimBean 2.8). Does anyone have any insight or even a possible fix? This isn't a huge issue, and I actually prefer browsing in portrait, but it's tedious to bring up Quick Controls in portrait mode. The phone was released during 2.2/2.3 and swiping in from the edge wasn't considered when they designed the phone. The bezel is very close to the region you need to swipe in from, and I have to lightly and precisely played a tiny bit of my finger on the bezel and slowly (often repeatedly) try to bring up Quick Controls. I've used my friends' newer phones, which have a less relieved bezel and Quick Controls is far better implemented for this reason.
I was really happy with my LG G5, until after a week or so, I noticed that the screen actually seems to have problems with "fast" change of movement. And I am really annoyed at this point by it, because I compared it with other devices of mine, and it's not that bad on these older devices. For example my old phone, a Samsung Galaxy S3, doesn't have this issue at all.
You can easily notice it in the Android settings (use list view). When you now slowly move up/down with your finger, you see that all fonts have a "ghost-effect" (get blurry) of not properly refreshing in time. There is a bit of border / re-draw affect around each word on the screen.
You will notice it also for example on the app store scrolling down / up, or in an app drawer (if you have a launcher with app drawer) and scroll through the app list.
On my phone i have no ghosting or problems with fast change of movement. There is a website called "testufo" where you can test your display for ghosting and FPS.
When browsing photos (e.g. In WhatsApp or Google Photos) if I zoom in, then tap the screen to bring up the android hardware buttons at the bottom of the screen, the picture returns to it's unzoomed state.
This problem is really part of the larger problem that tapping to bring up the android hardware buttons causes the screen to resize and place the buttons underneath it, when a much better solution would be to overlay the buttons onto the existing screen. Does anyone know if any part of these issues can be changed / solved?
this is known issue and it has been fixed in EMUI 9.0
Hi,
When i scroll a screen, sometimes show up a small blue dots or lines? When I start recording, they stop showing... But usually it's show all the time, in many apps.
(on the 1st video, dots are noticeable for the first few seconds)
(on the Safe Mode is the same)

It was a main board error. I took the phone to the service and on the same day they gave me a fixed one with a new motherboard. I also have the impression that the responsiveness of the fingerprint reader is faster. So thread could be closed.
