Small problem with Note 10.1 homescreen - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My home screen has a black band running across the top off it. Its like the picture slipped down an inch. Only homescreen though, every other screen is fine. Same happens no matter what picture I have on it. Any ideas? I can't post a pic of it yet cause I'm a noob
Edit: Stock wallpapers don't do it, they go full screen. Only my downloaded pics and photos have the black band

Sorting out the wallpaper blur issue...I think I got it.

So....I'm trying to sort out why the "tree" wallpaper from Asus looks so good and everything I get from the web just doesn't look as good.
I think I found a solution...at least it seems like it is...
check out the link below...there are 3 wallpapers I got off the web.
I put them in Photoshop...and shrunk them down to the template size that someone posted here...and sharpened them up, and increased the saturation in PS also.
And they look good on my TF EVEN when using the gallery cropping tool...
boats and water.png is exactly the same size as the template
boats and water 2.png is shrunk so you can see the whole picture unfortunately with black on top and bottom, the app area and widget area look black.
City.png is the same size as the template.
check each out and tell me what you think...

Nobody wants to try them and see if they look good on their machine?

The blurry issue was already solved. It's simply people using images that are below the minimum wallpaper resolution which means they get scaled up.
I tried the boat one and it does look good, no blur or stretching. Something you could do in the black area is just some white text. Maybe "Applications" and "Widgets" or something...

Tilting SCreen

Is there any way to disable that annoyng tilting effect og the sense 3??? I don't know why but most of the time I turn on the phone the screen is rotated left or right.
yeah settings then display then auto rotate, turn that off

Maybe I made a wrong question. When you hold the phone on hand and you move it from left to right, objects on screen remain alligned with the floor. It's quite annoyng and it doesn't work as well....
Ha ha that sounds great. It didn't happen with mine

The home screen tilts if I move the phone. I hate thing thing!
any chance of a vid or photo of this? I've never known anything like that before.
from what i gather, he's saying that the software image is staying aligned with the horizon when he moves his phone. so if he tilts his phone at 45 degrees, sense will still be in line with the horizon, where as you or I would need to tilt our heads at 45 degrees to see it aligned properly....get it?

two days ago i tested on the dhd a coocked rom, Rmix i think, that came with sense 3.0. It has the same thing, that I assume is a standard feature of the sense. I cannot believe you don't see it. Try to move the phone from left to right in the home screen: I can see the edge of the clock, in the meteo widget you see the moon or the sun in 3d. At a first sight it's amazing, but now, when i switch on the phone the screen is not aligned.....

I have the same issue with the grapic glitches on the widgets -change my live wallpaper from weather to grass for the night changed it back to the weather today seems ok ---you can use a 3rd party app to take a screen shot drocap/shoot me etc search screen shots in market ---really don't thing there is much you can do if it is an issue with the device maybe get a replacement or hopefully an ota update will fix
shoot me - requires root right?!
just use ur digitial camera.
there's one or two threads about this already. general consensus is that the widgets don't know what to do with higher resolution. don't know if search is working right now but the threads are out there

[Q] Grid/Lines against a gray background

I just received this phone today brand new. I rooted and ROM(NSCollab Sprint 1.0.51) since I'm fairly familiar with the process coming from a Vibrant. I noticed that when the background is a shade of gray(like a dark scene of a movie), I can see lines and grids in the background covering the entire screen. I didn't take notice prior to flashing the ROM. Is this a known ROM issue or do I need to replace my phone?
Thanks,
You probably need to download voodoo control app and adjust your color settings.

Unfortunately I've tried that with no luck. ill see if I can attach a picture of it.
I suppose if you can't see the lines when you zoom into the picture, than it must be my screen.
I don't see any lines in that screenshot. It looks perfect.

It's the screen. I recall reading somewhere about someone else having your issue though, like a whole grid coverying the screen in a darker shade. Probably read on XDA... Use the search function and you might get lucky, because I don't remember how it ended.
I got the same lines, but i think its just the screen?
Sent from my Nexus S
My nexus s has the same effect on backgrounds of that color, and the Engadget review even pointed that out:
http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/12/nexuss6001.jpg.
I don't think it's a quality control issue as it effects most of their AMOLED screens (I also saw it on a Focus and it's on my Cowon S9 too), more like Samsung cutting costs somehow. Just a fact of life with Samsung.
I guess replacing the phone wouldn't help....man I miss my vibrant screen.

Image Burn on Screen

Hi.
I have an image burn onto the screen. How do I get rid of it? Will it go away eventually? How do I prevent it from happening again?
Device is Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 p3113
Lcd should not burn in.... does it look like clouds? I once froze an lcd screen by leaving it in sub zero temps....it was permanent damage but looked like a soft cloud behind the image.

I have seen LCDs whit image burn effect even dough I tought only plasma screens are affected whit image retention, if its badly burned I dont think youll be able to get rid of it all. On plasmas you could use specal moving images for washing burn in, you could google that and try.
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda app-developers app
It's burned in. The address bar with the url is visible. I see it when I change the pages and on the lock screen. It's light but visible still. I need to get rid of it because it's an embarrassing url for people to see.
So you can see this when the device is off?? If somehow you have a stuck pixel problem sometimes s a forceful push will bring them back to life. Not that I recommend that... googling lcd burn in This is a phenomenon I am not familiar with and still amazed is possible.
Edit: google says it happens some sort of dead pixel phenomenon
Apple suggests an all white screen for hours on end with backlight low..
Another person suggested a very graphic intensive screensaver over night.

No, you can't see it when the device is off. You can see it only when the device is on. I think it's starting to fade a little. I could see it still but not as strong as it was before. Hopefully it'll be gone soon.
Update: The burned image is gone.
Next time don't watch the same porn video for hours and you won't have the URL burned in..

lol. I know. I've learn my lesson there.
HI all,
Sorry for hijacking the thread, but I thought this is an appropriate thread for the problem I am seeing. I am attaching a picture of my screen.
Do you think this is a hardware problem / screen burn? or is it something that can be solved by reinstalling the firmware?
Your help is much appreciated
Thanks

That definitely looks like a hardware problem. Software problems wouldn't have a faded edge to the error like that.
