You might laugh but its true, i can't use my galaxy nexus while I'm on a moving car, and no I'm not the one driving, when I use it I get incredible dizzy, I wanna throw up, I'm blaming the pentile screen, I had a galaxy s ii which is super amoled plus and an inspire 4g which is super LCD and I had no troubles whatsoever, does anyone else has the same issue?

It probably has to do with you focusing on the text when you're moving, you get motion sickness. just take medicine for it
I did notice that effect when staring down at the screen with a certain pattern of floor tile in my peripheral vision.
Immediately got dizzy and no matter how much I told myself out was just a visual effect and that I don't experience this type of vertigo, ever... It continued
I've had several smart phones and other devices that should have caused this if I had this type of problem, but this is the first screen that had ever done this to me
So yes, I believe you are correct

Bingo. Same as reading in the car, some can do it and some can't!

As much as I doubt the pentile display is the cause for the dizziness, I found this hilarious.

It may be.
I personally can't watch DLP TVs or Projectors. I see very vivid flashing rainbows that make me extremely sick.
LED backlight LCD screens make me sick too. When the brightness is dimmed I start seeing the flicker from the LEDs. Hence why I've had AMOLED phones for almost 2 years.

Try not looking in the downward direction while your using it in the car, it helps

Your eyes probably run at a higher fps than the rest of us! :-O
Its because your brain thinks you're still and the liquid in your ears (forgot the word) is being moved around since you're in the car. If you look out the window then you won't feel sick.
Its motion sickness.
All of you are missing the point-obviously from his post he's had other phones and didn't experience the same issue, it's not simple motion sickness, it's somewhat device specific. Not that the Galaxy Nexus is the only device that can cause it by any means

because of the font, gamma settings, etc, he is having a harder time focussing when on this display. this is causing car sickness.

Could be, my personal feeling is the resolution has a LOT to do with it.
That's yet another reason the Galaxy S2 is pretty much the best phone every produced to date IMO. The lower resolution looks more stunning than anything I've ever seen on a smart phone and minimizes/eliminates the problems that come with a tighter pixel density
Still love my nexus though, more than the GS2

Sometimes when I play call of duty MW3 I get dizzy when I get a text and look at my nexus cause of the pentile....
The only logical explanation for his dizziness is that he loves his gnex so much, that everytime he touches it he gets an erection, causing more blood flow to other parts than the brain
Yeah I found the screen a little to look at coming from a super LCD device as well. Didn't make me sick just the samoled has a funny hue to it. I'm hoping the next nexus will be super ips, the one x has an amazing screen it's just a shame about the software.

I knew Pentile isn't the best, but that's a bit harsh to say that cause motion sickness.

For the next Nexus, you'll have 5 different brands to choose from.
You should see your doctor.Dont forget to take your phone with you as this will help in your diagnosis
Ya I can't do anything on my phone while in a car or on a boat. I get nausea and such. I've always been like that with phones though.

I wouldn't blame it on the pen tile. You have to realise that this is a 720dpi screen compared to the sgs2 with a lower Res screen. The additional sharpness leads to slow slightly smaller font and the clarity makes your eyes focus on words and pictures more.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I'm afraid its bad news..... you caught eye aids from your phone and the prognosis isn't good.
Within 6 months you'll have full blown nexitis and maybe 6 months after that you will have to have your eyes replaced with two 5mp sensors from a gnex (irony) due to the eye aids.
In all seriousness tho there isn't much you can do, changing the gamma settings or a dev changing the frame rate or something like that may help you.
Other than that your only option is to not look at your phone when you're using it.
hi all,
Some of you who had the original note must have already got the note 2 now. Please share how the note 2 fare in comparison to note 1. It will be helpful for the note users like me who are contemplating a swap for note2.
so please tell about -
screen - color resolution pentiling
wifi range and stability
battery life
signal reception and call clarity
speaker volume
gps fix and accuracy
camera- still and video
other notable improvements
I think the above factors will be more important than app speed or butteriness alone.
so please do share your user experience and thanks a lot in advance for sharing.

Very usefull post tuxing....i have almost same questions what you asked...awaiting reply as i allready sold my note-1 awaiting note 2
bump for this, I plan on selling my N1 in the next month to get the new one.
I literally JUST posted about this somewhere else but the s pen has been greatly improved. Samsung has listened and finally calibrated the pen properly. The rubber tip really makes a difference as I'm not as scared about scratching up the screen. I think the pressure sensitivity has increased. I can't say anything else because I don't own it yet, I was only testing with it. My boyfriend handled the note 2 and now he's absolutely convinced that he needs this. He very much envies me as my contracted has ended and ill be getting it as next week.
hope someone will be able to do a comparo of above features now to help peeps with note1 to reach a decision.
Tomorrow there will be plenty of feedback. Mine comes tomorrow too!!!

Screen very good, although I personally think the density is far too high, it needs to be lower as some text just looks, too telly tubby like.
Wifi seems to be on par for me, no worse no better, but has more factors to consider when asking questions like that, like router quality, environment etc...
Battery life appears to be very good, but I think it's a bit too early to tell, after a few more days, my judgment should be more accurate.
Speaker volume does seem to be a lot louder.
GPS fix is like lightning on the original Note and that trait has carried on to the second.
Call quality, again, never had any issues with the original, no better nor worse.
Camera is very good, from the shots I've taken at least, a few more days of playing around will give a more informed report.
The biggest gripe I have is the screen, not with quality or anything like that, coming from the original Note I am missing the extra width and the pixels that came with that width, some things look a tad too elongated to me, but it's just a case of getting used to it I think.
Also, as I mentioned before the screen density. As soon as a rooting method comes up that doesn't increase the binary counter, I'll be changing it to a number that I think will suite the Note II a bit more.
Other than that it's all good, the speed of the thing is immense, no lag, buttery smooth, it's just an absolute joy to use.

I first found this forum when I got my SGSII and read about the yellow tint issue, bad colour banding etc. It drove me insane the first month because I couldn't get over it. I eventually got over it after some time due to it getting "old".
I hoped my Note II would have a good screen but it seems the tint can be found in all AMOLED screens. It was easy to notice the yellow tint in my SGSII but it was very weak compared to others so I were happy. On my Note II you can notice it (I think) if you concentrate really hard and it saddens me. You also have the weak lines (colour banding?).
So, how do you feel about this? Is it something you can get over and just accept that Samsung make worse screens but with awesome hardware? The reason I stick with Samsung is because I love them and I wouldn't want to choose another brand. But still, it hurts me when I realized that Note II still has these issues. I understand all manufacturers has their problems but we're in 2012, is it impossible to create a screen that is "perfect"?
Please no "I don't have this problem, my screen is perfect". We all know everyone's phone have some kind of this issue. Is it a issue or is it something you have to accept?
I don't have this problem, my screen is perfect. I'm saying this because it is. I don't see any tint or anything.
For me the screen is georgious. I like it very much, the screen doesn`t have that flickering sometimes the Note1 had. The colours are vivid, full and the screentones are custimizable.

It is indeed awesome, but the issue is still there. I don't like to have brightness on because of possible burn in, I keep it at 0%.

Is it true the Note II screen is brighter than Note 1?
I didn't have a chance to compare.
On the other hand, Note 1 colours are definitely more vivid and more awesomelicious!
And mine after 6 months, have a strong yellowish tint together with a burnt screen.
I'm not impressed with AMOLED's longevity.

My own Note II aren't very strong in brightness but others might be. My SGSII definitely have stronger brightness! My SGSII didn't have any burn in, maybe due to the fact that I keep the brightness at 0%. To scared for anything else hah.

I doubt his screen is perfect, I asked nicely for no such posts because we all know it's not true.
AMOLED is juvenile technology. It's definitely not ready for public use. Pentile displays look horrible, even at a higher resolution, burn in occurs incredibly quickly and colours are over saturated to disguise the quality. Personally haven't seen the colour banding myself but enough people report it to make it a real issue.
AMOLED is the way forward, but it is not ready for everyday use. Samsung need to put their heads together and get production rates sorted out. Only when they can start churning out RGB displays that are correctly calibrated and don't suffer from burn in or tinting after a year can they really consider AMOLED suitable for mainstream consumption.

That's the point... he doesn't even have a Note II... he's just complaining about a Note I...
Haven't noticed any problem with the screen because I am not looking for it. If you have to concentrate that hard to find it, maybe you should concentrate on something else entirely like going out and enjoying the day?

Yes. I am complaining about Note 1. I'm glad they solved the issues in Note II. I saw my friend's Note II a while ago. Indeed they solved most of the issues.
IM IMPRESSED.
But I still suspect longevity is an issue.
EDIT: BLUE TINT.

Won't it be possible to tune the colour of the screen when roms become more developed?
My SGS used to have a yellow tint too. Increasing the blue in the built in colour tuning app changed it to pure white.
I think a while ago I remember reading someone using an app from the play store to tweak the colour of their SGS 2 screen too. I'll try & find it.

Here it is. It's called screen adjuster.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.netmanslab.sa
Try increasing the blue or lower the red & green and see if that gets rid of your yellow tint. You have to be rooted.
Well, I have to agree that Note has "burned mark" stain like on the screen. Mine was the first batch for Malaysia. I also noticed the same stain like effect on the Samsung's Technician's Note. But I have no problem asking Samsung to change the display for me. After replaced, there is no problem with it for about a year now. Could it be that the first batch of display have such problem?
For Note II, it's crystal clear. No stain mark. I suggest that anyone who is not satisfied with the screen should either exchange the phone or have the display replaced.
Guess some had unlucky screens, but i really like the Note2 screen. And I got one white and one grey, both have np with tints, flicker or bad colors.
But i am not the one to speak after years off use tho, as I change mobile quite often. But Note i use longer then I usually use any mobile as the functions and Spen on note is hard to find on other devices.

After using the original Note for over 8 months I had no issues with its screen at all except for the very light black clipping under very specifc conditions,.And now almost after one month with my Note II, I can confidently say that this is the best screen I have ever had,no yellow or black issues,so the OP either has a faulty unit or he is a troll.

There is not a single AMOLED screen which is problem free. Be it tint or any other thing. It's quite true that people who are saying my screen is 'perfect' either don't know what a perfect screen is or simply lying.
And yes, my Note 2 screen has Yellowish tint, but it's on a much lower level than my S2 and spreaded all over the display unlike S2's only left side area. So I'm more or less happy with it. This is my 5th OLED displayed phone and NONE was perfect, NONE. Only which was my favorite and near perfect was Wave S8500 screen.

Trolling again? For someone without the note 2, you sure spend a lot of time whining about it.
If people arent happy with it, they should get it replaced or sell and move on.
We have two n7100's in the house. Both are fine.
Note I didnt say perfect because its very rare that something is perfect. But we arent going to stare at the screen from 2mm away checking every pixel.
And everything will have a flaw in someone elses eyes.
So going by the op's logic, anyone that says otherwise is a liar?

To be honest my screen has no tinting like what the op said.
Also, I don't get why people don't use it at a normal brightness level. If it burns in then have it replaced while it's under warranty. That's what I did with the s2.

My pRon looks great on my Note II..just kidding.
Put your Note 2 display settings to "Natural"...it looks more....well, natural.
Watch the pre-installed Samsung sample movie and tell me the screen is blurred and washed out. It's truly magnificent.
My screen looks perfect, not sure what you are on about to be honest.
I think it's not perfect, but much better than the blurry pentile Note 1. The "natural" setting seems the most......natural indeed, but I would like a setting between "natural" and "normal". Normal is too saturated and natural too much washed out..... Samsung, do you hear me? :highfive:
I give it a tie to Note1.
I see advantages. But Note1 was a nice screen.

I like saturated colors of Amoled screenns. Anybody else has same observation? Please don't tell me that it is better than S3, I don't care about that. Even test from GSM arena put the brightness way behind Note 1. wtf Samsung, why?

My screen is fine. No issues with brightness at all. I have compared it to my dad's note 1 screen and I would say they are about the same. No noticable difference.
The brightness and sharpness is nowhere near that of my HOX, but it does well enough
I feel like the screen from my new note makes my eyes ache and get blurry after extended use. Does anyone else have this experience? I am wondering if it is the WQXGA LCD screen that is doing it. I didn't have eye strain with my last tab, the asus tf101, which admittedly had a much lower resolution IPS screen. I also didn't notice eye strain for the short time I had the tf700, another asus with an IPS screen which I ended up returning for the note. So maybe IPS screens are better for me.
I tried reducing the brightness on the note and have it in movie mode but I still notice the pain. I am not sure if this pain will go away after time or I am imagining it.
If anyone has any experience with this I would appreciate hearing about it.
Thanks very much in advance.
So is my first time with a touch device, and with this resolution. I didnt experienced that... I am pretty sure that is only you: (or maybe, you just need vitamins )
I dont have any medical problems in my eyes, I dont need glasses... I never experienced something like that (just something weird in my fingers) but actually my boyfriend does...
He feels the same as you... But in this case, his problem is different... After a long time with the same problem, he experienced random nosebleed's... Like pression. The only thing that helped him is just the use of eyeglasses. But maybe is not the same thing, so dont worry, im just saying my opinion.
What else do you feel? Surely your eyes got tired, or you just need glasses for that. Something else that you want to say? Greetings! (And sorry for my bad english.)

Your Note probably has smaller text than the other tablets. Now your eyes are straining to see the smaller text.
The cheap solution is Drugstore reading glasses, which may or may not help you.
The best solution is a visit to your optometrist. It happens to most of us. :cyclops:
Thanks for the replies. I have used other 10 inch tablets and I have not had a problem with them. Why would the text be smaller on the Note if I am looking at the same web page in Chrome, for example, at the same zoom level as another 10 inch tab like the transformer tf101 or tf700?

The higher the resolution, the smaller the "default" font.
A 10" 800 x 600 screen will use a larger font, while a 10" 1920 x 1080 can take advantage of the resolution by using a smaller font.
The normal eye can make out smaller text if it's "clear". Lower resolution screens have fuzzier text.
The Note's 1920 x 1080 screen is the "clearest" on the market, beating the Apple by a wide margin. Any other 10" tablet you look at will be less clear than the Note.
The only thing that hurts my eyes are reading all these stupid complaints about this tablet. This has got to be the most idiotic thing I have ever heard. Take vitamins, get glasses and get Laid..

No need to be rude. This guy has a legitimate question. Sorry if it's not up to your forum standards, but this is the Q&A forum and he had a Q. No need to be a douche bag about it.
I had the same problem. Two things helped
1. Got an app named Lux from Play Store. Excellent for reducing eye strain especially at night.
2. Installed a screen cover - matte anti reflective. Also has the advantage of being fingerprint resistive. Amazon has several brands.S-pen works just fine with it.
I get blurry eyes and what not like @xda-soar mensioned thanks to using the tablet in a dark environment. I didnt even know an app existed that can lower the brightness further (esp in stock Android) so Thanks for that @arbit12 the Lux app is awesome and Thanks @xda-soar for asking the "idiotic" ( )question as otherwise I'd probs had never found this app. :thumbup:

I'm not blaming the screen as such but I find it doesnt go as dim as I'd like at times when I use it in a relatively dark room. I'm used to using my laptop at a very very low brightness setting.
During the day however I never have any problems with it, so it is just a night thing for me but anyways with the Lux app now installed on the tablet all is well.

The only thing that hurts my eyes are reading all these stupid complaints about this tablet. This has got to be the most idiotic thing I have ever heard. Take vitamins, get glasses and get Laid..

If that hurts, why don't you stop reading and close the page :fingers-crossed:
Or this comments helps in anything with the post
Actually any Samsung AMOLED hurts my eyes, too. I think it is not problem with most people.
I and my wife are facing the same issue of eye strain , this is not after prolonged usage , within 2 mins , eye strain starts while using regularly , there is no strain whenever j use my iPhone and my friend's ipad
Yes!! I found your question when I googled the same question. My eyes are blurry for at least 10 minutes after using my S7. My old phone’s, iPads, don’t do this.. and I’m on low brightness and night mode.. it still does it. I needed to buy glasses shortly after I got the phone. I am at the age for it, but the eye strain and pain is seriously ooonly after every use of my phone. I don’t even want to check my messages any more. Ouchies!

I feel like the screen from my new note makes my eyes ache and get blurry after extended use. Does anyone else have this experience? I am wondering if it is the WQXGA LCD screen that is doing it. I didn't have eye strain with my last tab, the asus tf101, which admittedly had a much lower resolution IPS screen. I also didn't notice eye strain for the short time I had the tf700, another asus with an IPS screen which I ended up returning for the note. So maybe IPS screens are better for me.
I tried reducing the brightness on the note and have it in movie mode but I still notice the pain. I am not sure if this pain will go away after time or I am imagining it.
If anyone has any experience with this I would appreciate hearing about it.
Thanks very much in advance.

I have just got the new note 10 phone and experiencing the same thing.... never had problems with my eyes beforehand, since this phone!
For all those posting negative snotty comments.. get a life... why are you even here to comment if you have nothing good to say?
Have you got a new device? How are your eyes now
Old topic but:
- IPS/LCD is usually less stressful on the eye (as there is no pwm flickering on <100% brightness) compared to OLED.
- Notebookcheck usually tests for PWM/flicker in their reviews. Also see: http://forum.tabletpcreview.com/threads/flicker-free-tablets.64302/
I would say.. the Note 2014 is fine, but it will never be as good as an e-reader screen - in terms of like eye friendliness.
For me, I did have some eye strain with this device when I was using it for hardcore note taking. But I think it only happened because I was so focused on taking notes, and trying to make them look good and whatnot that I didn't blink often enough. My relative used this tablet for a few years - and now it's back to me. Used it like all day long and never complained about eye strain. So I am certain it was on me.
I feel strain when I look at it in the dark to unlock. Apparently due to facial recognition, the brightness goes full to emit light and brighten the face for recognition.unfortunately you need to leave eyes open for it to unlock or see what you are typing. Switching off facial recognition and turning on blue filter fixed it for me.
