Just noticed that my screen appears to be dimmer along the right side than the left. Has anyone else seen this with the DC or should I go use my exchange at Costco?
I had a phone that had a dim screen but nothing like that. Exchange it before its too late.
Will do. I have 90 days and it's only been 25 or so, so I'll make it over there.
It almost looks like the screen has two different color temperatures. The left is very cool and the right is very warm.
Yeah its really odd. I had one that looked cool and my girlfriend had one that looked warm. I got it replaced but to see that on a single display is just odd.
I have this exact same issue on a certified like-new replacement Charge. The right side of the screen is noticeably darker tinted, especially at lower brightness settings. Some people have had the same problem only in reverse (left side darker) on the SGS2 -- which uses the same screen as the Charge.

I got a new one and it doesn't seem much better than my original one... trend?
It's very hard to notice.. but I'm also very picky about these things.
Anyone else notice that when trying to draw/write near the edge of the screen, that detection becomes slow and somewhat unpredictable, and weirdly-shaped letters and such? Also, anyone notice that the digitzer has sensitivity issues sometimes, ie. trailing tail on letters? I like my Note 10.1 just fine, but I'm wondering if anyone else has these quirks or if I should exchange mine for another.

Thread resurrection! I have the same issues. I took a ruler and made a diagonal line near the edge of the screen and the line drawn was not straight. It dipped around 1 to 2 mm near the edge of the screen. I also get tails on my writing when finished with a stroke. I noticed it's due to the fact that you're still moving the pen while lifting away, but the nib is still touching the screen (because of its natural up / down movement).
I sometimes get tails as well, but that's something you can filter out in certain apps (Lecture Notes allows for it, but I kind of like the tails because it makes my writing look like when I'm using one of those really inky pens).
But yes, I really hate it when I get close to the edge of the screen near the camera. It displaces my point by maybe 1 mm, but I've learned to just not draw near the edges. I mean, do I wish that it was perfect? Yeah.. but the way it is now, still works very well. Sigh.
my screen on my tab 2 7 works almost perfect, except when I draw diagonaly, it wiggles tons. the screen is clean amd it has done this sonce i first opened it. It does this regardless of if I use a stylus or my fingers, and it does the same on my sisters tab of the same kind. Is it fixable? or is ia just a hardware problem? Im an artist so this is getting really annoying, since it wont draw curves or circles because of this D:
Mine's done it since day 1 also, and as far as I know, it's a common "issue" with the digitizer. Basically, the digitizer cheap. Only way I've found around it is to apply more surface area with your finger.
I've recently purchased a Note Edge. Pretty happy with it, although there's one software "feature" that really bothers me. The Note Edge and the Note 4 are identical in specs, but the Note 4 is brighter when they're both on max brightness... Why? When the Note Note Edge is on max brightness, it is a good deal darker than the Note 4 on max brightness. When you put the Edge on max brightness, it is still being limited. The Note Edge will only go to the "true" max brightness when it is on auto, and there is a very bright light shinning on the light sensor(such as the sun or a flashlight). The Note 4, however, doesn't have this feature and go's to "true" max brightness even on manual. Is it possible to change/void this setting so that max brightness can be achieved even on manual and without having a bright light source shinning on the sensor?
I read somewhere if you leave it on auto. Then outside in the sunlight it will go past the max brightness so you can see. Perhaps thats the difference between the note 4 and the Edge brightness setting.

This is in the wrong section... (Should be in Q&A) but anyway...
I have a Note 4 & Note Edge, and the brightness "issue" the op mentions is completely true... (I noticed that the 1st day, and was disappointed with the Edge too) However... here is the good news...
-> If I go outside in the sunlight with both devices at the same time... The Note Edge becomes equal or even a bit brighter than the Note 4... So... at least for me, The "issue" is no longer an issue... I have done this various times with same results... hope this helps the OP feel better...
Oops. Sorry I didn't realize it should be in the question and answer section. I just started using xda. And do you think there will be a module that can change this?

Idk why you need the screen so bright anyways.
I can see mines clearly in the day time and at night.
I am willing to bet that the MAX brightness you said. Isnt on there due to the smaller battery.
I know another member on the board has said something about using Lux apk, but i dont dont remember what was said.
I've just realised that in bright sunlight when I leave the brightness in auto mode the screen is much brighter than if I would use the maximum manual setting. I'm very happy with it ,this is an amazing device !
Cheers

Does any one have a livht leak around the screen at the top and bottom and sides like its glowing

Can you post a screenshot? Haven't got it as far as I can tell
p.s. quote if you reply, otherwise I won't notice
note edge
I carnt its around the side of the phone inbetween the screen and metal and at the bottom of the screen
Guys the samsung NoteEdge on lollipop has that issue. Basically you can't switch auto brightness fully off it will control your brightness even if uncheck the box. After weeks of searching and trying I found a kind of solution because I love to see my screen in all his power and brightness. Solution is call "screen filter" can be found in the play store for free. Set the brightness at 100% and switch it on. You'll see the difference.

I have the same issue.
Hey all,
Just found this thread and discovered something interesting.
Holding a magnet to the bottom left of the screen increases the screen brightness to 100% as per the note 4's brightness.
I have both handsets and considering a genuine Sammy flip case for the note, and also want to insert a generic wireless charging strip between the handset and the back case.
I wanted to see if it's a simple magnet in the Sammy flip cover which deactivates the main screen and activates the edge display. It's not, a magnet to the front just restores the screen brightness to that of the note four.
I can confirm that the magnet does not change the brightness when in automatic mode. I can also confirm that when in manual mode the brightness does not fly up to 100%, but rather just nudges it up very slightly to that of the equivalent brightness level set on the note 4.
The magnet in the Sammy flip cover means that the edge display is always at it's brightest when the cover is closed because battery drain on that tiny strip is negligable.
So, it's pretty clear now that this is a Sammy software adjustment to counter a smaller battery compounded by a wider screen.
I'd have preferred if we had a software switch to turn this damned thing off, but I'm guessing a decreased battery life wouldn't bode well consumers expecting more for their extra cash for the edge, and I suppose the only real world difference on auto would be if both handsets were tested in bright lighting conditions. Sneaky Sammy.
The note edge flip cover has a few mm of padding on the back of the handset I'm going to see if I can source a strong but thin neodineum magnet that will keep brightness at note 4 levels and slide it into the cover or inside it above the battery.
There also seems a strong magnetic source on the bottom right side of the screen, I presume it's to activate a magnetic switch in the flip cover which accounts for the terminals on the flip cover connector.
Once I have a flip case and the generic wireless charging receiver strip delivered I'll see if I can combine the two with the magnet as well.
The extra battery drain can't be that bad? Surely it's just a matter of percentage battery size decrease.
Anyway, someone clever should be able to find a software alteration to achieve the same now we know where to look, but alas that's not me!
I've had a stuck accelerometer problem with phones, but also with my DJI Phantom drone. This problem manifests itself as:
- can't switch or rotate from portrait mode to landscape correctly
- camera won't rotate to landscape
- terrible VR performance, drifting
- bad gaming performance
- sensor readings way off
You're not going to believe the solution that has worked for me in both cases: you gotta bash it!!
Yep, your silicon-based accelerometers have fingers that can deflect with G forces, but when they get a big impact, they can get stuck at the extreme bent side. You probably dropped your phone recently, right?? Well, you can probably fix it by dropping it again in exactly the right way. It's like Fred Flintstone's amnesia.
You'll need to determine which side to drop it onto, and then drop it onto that side HARD onto a hard surface. You don't need to let it go, you kind of slam it with your hand. Do it at your own risk, of course, because you might break some other component!
Here's which side to whack it. For god sakes, don't just whack it randomly.
First, you'll need an accelerometer app. Install it and run it in metric mode. Set your phone on the table. Have a look at your values for X, Y, and Z. Two should be at near 0 and Z should be around 10 m/ss. The 10 reading is the table holding your phone against the force of gravity at 10 m/ss!
One or more of your numbers will NOT be as I stated, and that's the stuck accelerometer. It will be pretty much stuck and hardly changing at all, and it will be weirdly high, much greater than 10. ex: My X was at 167. (If you do not have one of your axis stuck on a very high number, you have a different problem, don't continue.)
If your X value is stuck sky high, hit the phone with the X+ (right) side onto the table
If your X value is a high number, but negative, hit the phone with the X- (left) side onto the table
If your Y value is stuck sky high, hit the phone with the Y+ (top) side onto the table
If your Y value is a high number, but negative, hit the phone with the Y- (bottom) side onto the table
If your Z value is stuck sky high, hit the phone with the Z+ (screen face) side onto the table (good luck to you)
If your Z value is a high number, but negative, hit the phone with the Z- (back) side onto the table
If you hit it sharply enough, you'll notice that the sensor is no longer stuck on the super high reading, and you're all fixed
Look on the bright side, it's not a drone. Since propellers etc get in the way of a table slam, I had to hit my $1200 drone - HARD - with a rubber mallet when it had the same problem. But it worked!
I have a Redmi Note 8 pro and the accelerometer was not working. The Y and Z axis were stuck at high negitive values. I was very frustrated as the camera app took pictures up side down. After searching the internet for a gud hour , I found this solution. I tried it and it worked like a charm. I had to hit my phone on my hand for both -Y and -Z axis. After both directional hits, the accelerometer sprung into action and everything worked smoothly.
Thank you so much. This solved my problem like a charm. This really worked.
Moved from Android Drones, because as the original poster tells me, this applies generally to devices with Accelorometers.

I still can't believe that it worked like it did. The Z axis on my Redmi Note 7's accelerometer was stuck, and it insta working again after throwing my phone on the floor. This is probably the least thing I would do (willingly) and worked like a charm. Thank you very much.
This post saved me. Almost wiped my Redmi Note 8 Pro. Worked fine just throwing it on the floor LMAO. Nothing like an armor case to protect hahahaha
MY HERO. the pockets in my sweats aren't deep enough so my phone kept falling out and must have konked itself into a hung accelerometer. A few drops on the bottom fixed a stuck negative Y axis. happy day!
