check these photos screen problems

got mine yesterday and when i use the browser the screen starts flickering and distorting anyone else had this problem??
please take a look at the photos

Not noticed that myself but I have been using Chrome.

i have noticed that on a couple of times, don't know why but it has gone away. but it's strange

To me it looks like either the LCD is damaged or the LCD connector has a problem with it. Return it for a new one

I have the exact same thing!
I made a topic of this myself.
Someone above said this is hardware, but i doubt this, because this glitch is only on the drop down menu, it is not random but outlined. A screen problem would cause this at any place on the screen.
What do you guys think of this?

Seems to be a Tegra3/ICS issue. The Transformer Prime had similar problems for months.

is this the screen glitch u guys are talking about or is it another screen glitch type?
if it is the former, i have not had it yet in the 4 days i have the phone..

try to use a different browser like dolphin or chrome or whatever

Ah I assumed that it was constantly like that. I assume factory resets have been tried

it seems a problem with the 'internet' browser, hopefully a software issue.uw

I was half tempted to get the One x because I thought they learned from the Sensation but guess not. This is the real problem of having your own skin, you break a perfectly good OS.

Try it with other browser. I believe it is the screen defect. Mine doesn't hv those glitches issues mentioned in the forum nor the yellow tint problem

Saw it on my phone yesterday for like 3-4 seconds...i was using whatsapp that time...so i dont think its only related with the browser...

Same thing here
Same thing happened when I was on ARHD 1.2.0 in Netflix. See attachment.

I also get this screen problem. It is software/firmware corruption, and not a hardware fault as far as I can tell.
It happens at random in the stock browser, or at least appears random - I haven't found a link to any website or user action yet.
It does seem it might be related to anything involving animated menus with gradient colour or transparency - that's just a passing observation though.

Lock screen lag.

Does anyone else's lock screen lag really bad sometimes?
Sometimes it will work fine but sometimes it could lag horribly.
I can slide to unlock and then it will actually slide a second or two later, and the animation when it brings up the home screen is really choppy.
I keep thinking of doing a factory reset to see if it solves it but o don't want to lose everything if it doesn't work.
I'm 100% stock 4.0.4
I will try and get it on video later to show you what I mean when I get home

Got auto screen brightness ON?
Cause when you lock ur screen in full light condition and unlock when in dark light condition (and vice versa), the lag you describe happens.

Mine doesn't lag.
Maybe another program monitoring the lockscreen?

Hi.
Yeah I have auto brightness on.
Thanks for your help mate. It makes sense cos my buddy has a gnex and his is fine but he just sets his brightness to 100% all the time.
Thanks for tip dude

proximity sensor always on

Hi guys m facing a strange issue. I have observed that sometimes my proximity sensor remains on. I tried to find out the app causing it by Force Stopping each app one by one but that doesn't solve the problem. .
I am not using any motion like quick glance which uses the sensor or any other app like turning the screen on off (eg smart cover etc)
only a reboot fixes this issue but after sometime (say few hours or 1-2 days) the sensor turns on. . Can you suggest me what else shall I do? coz m observing more than normal battery drain in stand by mode. . Please help!

Try turning off "quick glance" under settings--> motion.

me too same here dagnamit

I too have noticed it and posted it on a thread also
I also notice this..only now i came to know that it is proximity sensor..will appear as a dim red right and if it stays on, it turns off only if restarted..might be a bug..should we report it to samsung so that they will fix it in updates?

I have noticed one thing that after 2+ or more (random) days of usage if I receive/make a call the sensor doesn't turn off. .might be this is a s/w bug. .but this is what I have noticed after closely monitoring my phone. .
Sent from my GT-N7100

I've noticed this too! Didn't know the dim red light was proximity sensor. But i've noticed it only twice (with battery below 40% on both occasions).

Viber has a known bug that cause the proximity sensor to be always on. If you uses it, u need to update to the latest version i think its v2.2.3.109.

Even though I first got this proximity sensor bug after I turned on "increase volume in pocket" (only 1 time so far), I'm pretty sure it's not related, because I did a few tests and as far as I could tell the phone increases the volume based on its position (and possibly movement) in the second it receives the call. If it's vertical (like in a pocket), or on its side (like in a bag), when you get a call, it will increase the volume. If the phone is horizontal, like on a table, and starts ringing, the volume doesn't increase, and it won't increase even if you pick it up and move it around while it's ringing.
I also thought initially that it uses data from the proximity sensor, but I tested and it doesn't care if it's covered or not when the phone rings, it appears to use data from the accelerometer/gyro exclusively.

I'm try turn all motion off right now. Let see if it can solve the problem

I have the same problem.
I resolve it by pressing volume up + home + power.
Let it restart and so far after about 1mth+ did not encounter this issue any more.
Hope this help :fingers-crossed:

i have the same problem
all motions are off
and still have it random....only restart to close the sensor

Weird Issue with screen

I have something weird happening ,when auto-brightness is enabled or the phone screen is dimming down right before it goes to sleep a grey transparent looking screen flickers and sometimes sticks until i touch the screen to wake the phone back up and bring it back to whatever brightness setting i had it on . Im probably gonna do a warranty exchange when i get home i just wonder if this has happened to anyone else

I think I know what you are talking about. It's got to do with "Auto adjust screen tone" in Setting -> Display. For whatever the reason, transition between high brightness level and auto adjust screen tone isn't quite smooth. This happens all 3 of my Note 2 and S3. It's annoying as hell...
Let me know if that fix the flickering issue.

I have the same problem and every so often when useing the s pen the hole phone goes nuts, screen flipping by at a fast rate of speed and it is go from dim to bright to dim really fast too.
I have restart the phone and works for a few days and it comes right back.

Mike was it exposed to moisture? How long did you have the brighter note apk on there also?

No moisture exposure and its definitely a hardware issue im sure of ,don't think the app has anything to do with it

probably not

I had the same issue. Its not a hardware issue or app or anything . You have to odin back stock . I won't go into detail but there is something stuck on your partition from a kernel it sounds to me that can only be removed by going back stock . That's a know issue with the note 2 with kernels. If you flashed a kernel that's why .

Question about screen

Hi,
I want to ask, what's happened with my P600 screen. What's this near "home" button?
These dots are under the screen (glass).
It doesn't seem to effect the touchscreen but this could become a future problem. Picture will be attached (though it could be hard to see).
Maybe screen digitizer has broken?
Its need to replace a screen or screen digitizer?
Thank you for advance

No its not dangerous. It's just a cosmetic issue thats all ... depends if you care enough to give it to Samsung to fix. Personally I would just leave it as once repaired it wont come back the same but then again some people are different and the bubbles at the bottom would annoy them.

Good news. I received my tablet from RMA with new screen.
But there is another problem. Tablet "see" that S-Pen is always removed from tablet and always active although S-Pen inside. When I remove it, there is no vibrate and sound. When I put S-Pen again inside, there is no vibrate and sound too. More, is always active icon on the top of left screen corner when S-Pen inside in the dock. I try turn off S-Pen detection function and did factory reset but problem still exist.
General question: when service replaced screen, the new screen comes (includes) with new S-Pen dock or new S-Pen or not? I think was damaged sensor in the dock.
I attached screenshot of my tablet.

Well I dont even get any S-Pen notifications. I used to but about 6 months back it just stopped poping up. It still vibrates to let me know its been removed but no notifications so I'm not too fussed as it still works fine.
@Sunrise2000 Yeah I did say this would probably happen. They fix one fault and you end up with another...hence I said if you can live with it then don't get it repaired BUT anyway ... call them up and let them know of the new problem.

The notification for the S-Pen disappear with one of the kernel/bug fixes updates. Sunrise2000 issue is a hardware issue I think.
