[REVIEW] matte screen

I said in another matte thread I bought this a few days ago and will post what i thought of it. I used it for about a day and here's my review!
short version: don't bother. It doesn't fit right, had to trim it. major rainbow noise on bright screen.
long version:
I tried to fit the screen for around 20 minutes, couldn't get it right, best i could do is this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I am going to have to trim it with scissors.
When the screen is off, it looks REALLY nice. but the rainbow noise is pretty bad, i tried to take a picture of it but it doesn't really show how bad it is.
Now I know for a fact that not all matte screens are like this, because i have a matte screen on my HP touchpad and it is NOWHERE near as bad, you can only see rainbow effect if you look closely.
in case you need to know where i bought it, so that you don't.

personally i will still keep it, because playing games with this surface is still way better than without. And when i play games, i don't notice the rainbow problem. But i keep an eye out for a better matte screen.

haven't others posted on this forum about not buying this type of protector for AMOLED screens because of exactly what you're saying...?

S-Pen issue (Not the standard sensitivity issue)

I am right-handed and the phone's setting is set to right-handed, this is how it looks when I draw a line from the left side of the screen all the way to the right until the S-Pen disconnects from the screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You can clearly see that the line is cut-off half an inch before the edge. If I hold the S-Pen in the left hand and drag a line from right-to-left, I get the same effect on the left side of the screen. Disappointing.

I've got the AT&T Note II and I am not seeing this. I'm a righty with right-handed mode.
.

I wish I could borrow a different pen to determine the source of the problem. How much does a new S-Pen cost anyway?
-EDIT: I bought a new one on eBay for $20US, will have to wait a couple of weeks for it to arrive.

I have a similar problem. Not as exaggerated though. I think it has to do with the sensitivity of then Pen, which you can adjust by taking the button off. I think it is due to the way the Pen is powered. When it is off the edge of the screen, it isn't getting as much power. Look into how wacom pens are powered to see what I'm talking about

I calibrated the sensitivity slightly by turning the potentionmeter half a turn counter-clockwise and now it's PERFECT.
This thread should help others who suffer from this issue.
p.s. now I regret paying $20US for the other S-Pen..

Is there a link with instructions of how you did it?

Be very careful and gentle with the screw, it's really easy to break.

Details about the UHANS S2

Ey Guys. I let you this information about the UHANS S2:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Start of the presale of the new UHANS S1 is just around the corner (you can refresh your memory about the phone with our articles here and here) and the speculations about his successor UHANS S2 and already starting to circulate.
Rumors were sparked by the leaked picture of the metal frame of UHANS S2 and its widely expected it will continue the trend set with the first installment of the “S” line (stylish and sleeky). So what sort of surprises can the S2 offer?
From the leaked picture we can predict pretty much similar design as the S1, but with larger display (probably 5.2 or 5.5 inches) and metal shell or at least some material with metallic finish. So far its hard to say just from the one leaked picture. Whats pretty much set in stone though is the fingerprint scanner placed on the rear just below the lens of the camera.
If UHANS S1 is the elegant model with very affordable price then what can the S2 successor have in store to blow us away ? What do you think and what do you personally expect from the new model?

Unlike the S1 with 2.5D glass back panel, UHANS S2 comes with a metal body ( 95% metal/body ration), of which the silkiness can be directly felt through the picture. Each curvature results from a fancy softness, without any sharp lines. Even the corners of the camera and fingerprint sensor have also been delicately dealt with curves, making sure of the whole smoothness.
Except from Space gray, two more colors as champagne gold and rose gold will be applied to S2. Colors are sharp, while grips remain soft. What else can we expect from the incoming S2? Aren’t you curious about it?

Screen off memo bizarreness

Either i'm going crazy, or Screen off memo changed between the pre-battery-recall firmware and post-battery-recall.
I could *swear* the line thickness was smaller before the update.
Also, what's with the weird minus-shaped cursor when you hover?
When you start writing, it turns into a normal circle shaped cursor, but as soon as you move the pen away and bring it back to the screen, it's a little dash again, until you actually touch the screen and start writing.
I'm fairly certain it's a bug, i'm just not sure if it's just my device or if it's widespread.

I'm on the original Note 7 PH9 frimware everything is as described. Except this "line thickness" I'm not sure what you're referring to?

I can't say much about line thickness, but it does seem very responsive to pressure - maybe try using the harder grey s-pen tip instead of the stock one, which is softer?
The line is there to show you where you're lined up.

Weird, i'd swear i didn't see that line before.
So if it's there to show where you're lined up, why does it turn into a normal cursor once you touch the screen - and stays that way for as long as you keep the pen in proximity to the screen?
Re: line thickness - good point, maybe they changed the pressure/thickness responsiveness slightly, or this pen has a slightly different feel. I'll try the harder tip.

Just to be clear re: cursor, this is what i was talking about:

Sorry for the potato shots.

Screen issue

So I recently started to notice a vertical line (or lines) on some screens. This normally happens in dark gray-ish backgrounds which are used in many apps as night mode or loading screens.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is also the place where the see through part of the case begins, when it's closed. The reason I say this is because the case that came with the phone works very weirdly - it does nothing when I close the flap normally, but when I fold it behind the phone it will lock the screen and go into "case mode".
My friend has the same phone and says his works normally, I'll try to get my hands on his phone / case to do some more experiments..
I understand that I should exchange the phone but given that it isn't even sold in my country and there isn't any stock left at the moment, I want to try to solve this if possible.
Has anyone here got the same issue ? Or any experience with such an issue ?
I used to have similar things, only worse, on my older amoleds (Motorola was pretty bad ) but I thought this has since been fixed - just checked my pixel and there are no lines or spots ..

My comparison with mate 9 pro and pixel XL :
I've highlighted the lines that are visible to me with my eyes (not thought the camera) I understand that camera shows a lot of blemishes on all screens but there are clear lines on Huaweis and nothing on the pixel when I look at it .
Bonus galaxy s7:
Also perfect when not looking through the camera ...
Edit: I should also add that this 'defect' is much more noticeable on the PD, even though I can see some lines on the Pro I wouldn't have noticed them through normal use, I think .
