Screen problem ignorance

It is pretty crazy how people who have the skyrocket ignore that the screen looks awful when dim. Its even worse that Samsung has not stopped production to fix the problem either. You would think the white one would come with a fixed screen. Usually by this time you have people writing reviews and ranting about phone defects on YouTube, yet with this phone nothing. Just hoping someone agrees with me and maybe we can stick these problem up samsungs behind.

Dont think anyone cares that much
Why use the screen dimmed? Kinda defeats the purpose of having a super amoled

Agreed.
I have mine set at 50% and its bright enough for me all the time.
I never go lower than that though, so I personally never experience poor screen quality.

I've never notice the problems mentioned throughout the forum regarding dim settings and colors/lines. I'm sure that to a good eye mine is too afflicted.
One a side note, took my screen protector off today, and man! is that screen gorgeous. It's gonna be hard to put it back on, but I learned that lesson with the Atrix when I took it's protection off and it hit the ground.

You see, and that is the problem. You are ignoring to issue. So when your in a dark room you have your screen full brightness? I don't so it does bother me.

I agree my screen sucks at low brightness. I mainly run my low to save power only turn it up when outside. I wrote a review on Samsung site and did give a bad review on the screen.

I just picked up a white skyrocket yesterday and I've got the screen issues / lines. Looks like a "brushed metal" overlay on top of everything.
I'm going to be getting it exchanged for a new one tomorrow.

Maybe I got lucky... I've had my I727-SR for about 4wks now and haven't experienced the screen lines / screen problems others are posting.... I consistently run at low brightness with a screen protector and screen looks perfect.... no lines, blobs or other anomalies.

Mine has it. So does the white one I looked at. It bothers me and I notice it often. But its the only phone on AT&T that I want and LTE just went live a week ago. I will sadly have to live with it :-(

SMH ! Get over it! A few slightly lines which is only visible when phone is up your nose an on a dark grey background on 0% brightness, is the end of the world run!!!

My screen is great. No lines or any of that kind of stuff.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

just picked one up today. white one.
i see the lines below 50% brightness. above, they are gone.
I believe this is just a simple issue of having the same pixel density of the galaxy S2 but with a larger screen.
this should be device wide.......i dont see why people should have different results....
edit: i have it only above 30% brightness actually....

No problems here... at 0 it still looks great, no lines or weird issues

I have personally seen this vary from device to device. what may not be that bad on yours could be 20x's worse on another. others of us are in fact picky and expect more for what we paid for this device.
To each their own

playing video
When I play video ie Netflix YouTube etc I notice that the picture quality is not.what I expect.from a 250$ phone. I love this phone and that is.my only complaint. I have tried.adjusting.the brightness but it doesn't seem to help. Is this a problem that all are having?

I just got the Skyrocket today and just now turned the brightness all the way down and did not see any issues with screen clarity. Looks pretty good to me.
Infused with Android DNA

Mine has the same issues. However, they are ignorable if you customize the look of your phone. I changed the screen density and customized my phone with a dark bg and modified system apks.

blank screen / non responsive out of sleep mode

anybody else having this issue? Happens atleast once a week, requires removing the battery to reset it..
I have seen this issue posted on other phones, but not on the MT4GS

Did you recently flash the new radio....if so revert back because it was proved that the new radio was unstable without a specific kernel

Total stock rom... I did upgrade to latest sw this week. I will see if it continues

the stock software does seem to have that glitch, where the home screen will have nothing but your wallpaper... apps and widgets will be missing. i had that once on the new update, but i rebooted and it hasn't happened again.

Screen freeze on wake

I recently flashed weapon g2x rom. Everything was cool til I woke my phone and tried unlocking it but the screen was unresponsive. I do a battery pull phone starts up up and screen is fine. Screen goes to sleep so I wake it up and try sliding to unlock but its unresponsive. Please help. BTW I am not putting any blame on weapon rom Dev team.

Did you properly wipe before you flashed the ROM? Is this happening on a clean install? (No apps)?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Followed the install instructions verbatim. BTW I was stock GB before flashing. Happened before I dloaded any apps. Now it freezes when making calls. When I take the phone away from mg ear the screen is unresponsive.

You might have a defective device. Does it tend to get hot whenever it locks up? How long have you had this issue for?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Flashed the rom 3 days ago and issue started today. Had this phone for 3 months. Doesn't get hot or even noticeably warm. I got the go locker app with ics lockscreen. After i wake it up its unresponsive for about 30 seconds then the backlight dims and becomes responsive again. Weird. Maybe restore back to froyo(nandroid)? Thanks for your replies.

Try reformatting your phone, then flash again

Reformat? You mean wipe everything? Through cwm?

Yep that is what he means. If you were on Froyo you may need to do the update and get the current Baseband.

Okay I'll do that and see what happens. Thanks guys

Hey this may sound silly but if it's only the lockscreen not responding and you stating you are using the ics lockscreen, did you try with the default lockscreen to rule that out first?

Not silly at all. I tried the original lockscreen that came with weapon rom. I would wake the phone with no response but with go locker LS the screen responds after 30 seconds of unresponsiveness. Its weird but I don't think its a hardware issue. I'll post back after I restore back to Froyo. Thanks again guys
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Yeah i agree, don't think it's a hardware issue. Restoring back or trying another rom would be a good test. Another question..are you using setcpu or any other app with a screen off profile?
Edit: Went back to read all the symptoms again and i had a similar situation and it was because my phone could not handle the lower voltages on the min freq with a few kernels. Morfic upped the lower freq voltage on his kernel and it has been working perfectly since. Worth a try.
Try this one: ELPmax 20122011 (1.1GHz Battery Saver w/ voodoo sound)

Tried flashing kernel and phone froze on Trinity load screen. Restored to nandroid but no luck. Updated to stock GB but no luck. I'm starting to think might be a problem with proximity/ light sensor cause of how the phone freezes up after I pull the phone away from my face after a call. Guess I'll send it to Texas for warranty repair.
Thanks to those that tried helping.

Did you format the "system" before flashing the new rom? Weapon works with no issues for me. I would stay away from custom kernels for now, until you have isolated the issue.
I would suggest backing up your user apps using titanium backup and installing them one by one to find the issue. Let the phone run a while between installing each app. Maybe even reboot each time. Also try fix permissions.
I know nothing about Go Locker, but is sounds like that is a good place to start.

Screen Problem

Ok so i rooted my phone and when i installed a rom every time my screen turns on it shows a bit of static right before it completely turns on this happens on all the romes i try except bionix reloaded for some reason,if anyone can help me outt please do
My Problem Still Exists with All CM7 Based Roms i just hope it wont happen on ICS I found a great rom That does not have this problem with my phone
I think i will keep the Tsugi Rom Because i Really like

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hC8HqBrinBA
at 3 minutes i turn the screen on with no static on Bionix
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YICwp5R_wbM&feature=youtu.be
on MIUI,At the end its in slow motion so you can see

Static? You'd have to try getting a video of it for up to see. Don't know what could be your problem.

Are you talking about a line through the middle of the screen and then you get a full screen? If so that is the "turn on screen animation." Not all roms have this turn on or in them at all. I have never seen or heard of a LCD screen having static. Plus if it was static it would have been on the stock rom and the bionic rom as well

If you are doing reviews and stuff you should probably know what you are talking about. That's the turn off animation @3:00 minutes into the video.

That's what I thought, but he said at 3 minutes there's NO static... so I don't know what he's on about unless it is screen on animation.

yeah thats the only rom that i get no static on i will post a video soon on it

i said under the link on the second reply that there is no static and i just put a video where there is the static on the miui rom. sorry if i cant explain myself right, im just trying to show you that on the Bionix rom their is no static and that on the miui rom there is static
And no i am not trying to get people to see my youtube videos, i just think that its the best way to show whats going on with my phone rather then trying to take a pic of when it happens because taking a pic right when it happens would be hard to do

Are you using the stock kernels with the other roms. If so are you using a app for over/under clocking. Are you using a app for a lock screen. These could be the issue. It looks like it is taking a second to load something.

i didnt install any other kernel other then then the stock one that came with miui port of team kang
and on bionix i flashed the Dragon g2x kernel
And no overclocking or lockscreen apps on either roms

I have no clue what the OP is seeing or talking about only thing at 3 minute mark is the crt animation.

He uploaded a new video show what is going on. The first was is with bionic which it does not happen on that rom
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Okay just saw it I see it now. I haven't ever seen that, maybe set the crt animation for power on and see what happens. The only thing I've seen is the screen turn on with no real image just the blacked out screen then after the picture shows up. I can see why'd that could get annoying to some though. Maybe try a different kernel, or mess with voltages if you have SETCPU.

Are you using titanium to restore and apps. When you flash the other roms and before you set up anything does this happen at the beginning. Also are you wiping system, data, delvik, and cashe?

I have a similar thing. Not really static but more so the screen lights up and then actually displays the picture. Does it on all roms for me too. I figure it's a hardware thing.
