Hey guys, I was wondering if you guys are having this issue as well? I tested 2x Note 2's and they both do this. The problem i'm having is whenever I rotate the device while viewing a video, screen brightness/contrast/gamma (i really don't know which?) goes up momentarily and goes back to normal again. It doesn't do this on stock video player but for example YouTube or MX Player does this. As for YouTube, go to play store and play any app demo videos because if you actually go to YouTube app when you rotate the device video will rotate as well and it's hard to see this problem.
Update: as for MX Player, this problem stopped when I put screen orientation to "landscape", by default it was on auto rotation (landscape). I think Note 2's system auto-rotation is conflicting with app's rotation?? Not a huge issue but gets really annoying I hope I didn't get 2x defective note2s....
Do you have smart rotation enabled?

Oh man... Thanks man, Yep that was the cause of this issue.... I turned off auto-rotation, I didn't think smart rotation would be still active.
All these good features causes at least one issues, what the heck... Smart rotation off, ripple effect off... I wonder what's next, hopefully nothing too major! :/

Thank you too!
I didn't even notice the issue with the ripple effect until you mentioned it, hehe.

Has anyone else noticed that since the last OTA update, the individual video brightness feature is gone? Can someone on a stock rom check to make sure I'm not going crazy?
I am on the original stock rom. The phone was rooted about 6 weeks ago.
I checked under settings>display>brightness.....but didn't see a video adjustment level.
But I am probably looking in the wrong place. Let me know where it is and ill check again.....

I'm not on stock but did you go to the video app and check the preferences? There should be an option there. If it's gone, I guess they did remove it since people were complaining.
But no worries! MX player (or was it BS player?) has a feature where you can set the brightness for videos played with the app.

Yup they removed it from the video player settings.
Yes they've removed it from browser also. But no big deal since we have brightness toggle in pull down menu (=

Hey, I got my Galaxy Note 2 a few days ago and so far I'm having a blast with it =) But I noticed an issue while viewing photos and videos... and running the camera app as well:
For some reason while the camera is running, a photo is displayed, or a video is playing, the screen renders everything grainy. I thought it was my imagination, but when I open up a menu, all the icons and options look different too, they don't look smooth anymore, as if anti aliasing (?) was turned off. It's even more noticeable when I use the pop up player option, it effects everything I'm doing on the screen until I close the video. This only happens while content is being displayed, though. When browsing the gallery or scrolling through my video list everything looks fine, until I open something. I also noticed this only happens in Samsung's media apps. Using a different app to view photos doesn't cause this at all. I looked through the forums and couldn't find anyone else with this issue, maybe I'm the only one and should get the phone replaced? Or maybe others haven't noticed it yet... it sounds specifically software related. I had the original Galaxy Note and didn't run into this, so I'm pretty confused. Has anyone else experienced this? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

This is really weird. I took a couple screenshots while the issue was going on but when transferred to my computer they look exactly how they should, no graininess whatsoever. I also tested some more apps, namely Camera Zoom FX and MX Player. Those aren't affecting the display at all either. I looked through every settings menu I could find to see if I had something on that I shouldn't, but nothing helps...
Nobody else seems to be having an issue, maybe my best bet is to exchange it, then
I would try a factory reset. If that doesnt work check out a display model at TMo, if its different ask for a new one.
Just did a factory reset, it's still doing it -_-. I'll check T-Mobile tomorrow, though, thanks!
So I was messing around with my can app and just looking at settings when I noticed these two options aren't on. Naturally I tapped the icons to see if they could be turned on. Now I know there are some modes they won't work with but so far no matter what I do they went turn on. Has anyone else experienced this? I have the att variant.
Turn down the video resolution and the stabilization should become available.

Yeah I would have thought so as well but I have gone through every res setting from the UHD down to QCIF with no change so nto sure what I may be missing.
Have you tried going into settings and clearing cache and data on the camera app?

Well, I have read stuff about the Nexus 5x saving upside down images/vids with 3rd party apps that didn't use API correctly, but today I saved a video, which looks OK on the device, but when I send it to the PC.. it is upside down.
Is this common? it has any fix? can I fix the vid somehow?
If this happens to the stock camera... what the **** Google..
I've read somewhere that it's normal, the sensor it's upside-down so it puts a flags for apps to turn it around.. the problem is that I tested any program on Windows (Media Player Classic - Home Cinema, VLC, WMP, etc..) and ALL of them show the video upside-down...

Hmm, I downloaded the last version from hpc hc yesterday and it was still upside down. What is that madvr render stuff? Some sort of plugin? This is interesting because if this works im keeping the n5x, if not im returning it (because I want the video reproduced well on pc)
Thanks!
No special settings. Just set madVR as default renderer and launch video by double-click. At least it working in my rig with external GPU. Here is also the feature request in mpc hc trac: https://trac.mpc-hc.org/ticket/2202.
How has google/LG not come up with a better fix for this? Two of my apps that use the camera (Stampt and Chase Mobile Banking) show the video upside down. It is extremely annoying. I realize that the app *should* be updated to the latest API, but if you make upside down hardware YOU should be the one to fix it, not force everyone else to conform.

Works! Thanks a lot!!!! Too bad madVR lags some the video reproduction (specially when returning from full screen) , I don't know why I have to move to such thing just for this device. I hope MPC-HC adopts it soon!!

Google. They didn't even use the API how they say on most of their apps. Google is the enemy of nexus lately.
Another option in MPC (Media Player Classic - Home Cinema) besides MadVR is to rotate the video while playing. Use the following the shortcuts (alt + numpad 3) twice to rotate to 180 degrees as shown in my attached image.
I know it's a pain but this is a workaround for now at least. Along with MadVR.
When I'm watching any HDR10 content in landscape on the YouTube app, the display brightness goes haywire and continually goes all the way up and down by itself. It only acts like this when viewing full screen. It does this on both vanced YouTube and the regular app but not when playing directly through the YouTube website. I turned auto brightness off and it still does this. Does anyone else experience the same problem? I own the L29 btw

Yep. Bugs galore. Hope an update firmware will help. We should get this after the China version has another 14 updates
If i may, which video is that? I don't get the same issue you are having

Thank you! Working great now It didn't have any option besides a codec override toggle. No S8+ or pixel choices but it still solved the problem. Thanks again
