Xoom possible screen issue - Xoom General

Can anyone else see grid lines in their lcd panel when looking closely or viewing certain video content? I mainly see it in light backgrounds.

I can see the grid lines, but only with the screen off.

I see what looks like interlacing when watching movies in mobo player. Another user pointed out that most touch screens have some sort of pattern that's visible when it's off under direct sun light too.

What you're seeing are the multi touch panels that most screens will show in a certain light. Nothing to worry about friend

Awesome app.

I love this app. Although I have issues with the upload and download portion. Just one question/suggestion for the developers. Can u make a version/ option to invert the colors. I've been messing with the gmail app that has black background and im pretty fond of it... plus I hear dark colours significantly reduce battery drain on samoled

Had no idea what you were talking about until I saw the signature.
Yeah, black background would be nice. Blacks on AMOLEDs are basically just the pixels shut off, whereas with LCD the backlight continues to eat energy regardless of whether most of the screen is dark.

Under settings just change the display style to dark. My xda app has the background black w/ white text.

Just an FYI XDA doesn't develop this app, Tapatalk does. They have the same app for hundereds of forums. The forum admin installs a plugin on the server to allow Tapatalk to work, and then they can skin a version of Tapatalk to go with it.
If you have requests for UI/Usefullness you should probably look them up, not XDA.

CPU Monitor Micro app

Just got this app from the market place. GREAT app that lets you place a CPU monitor anywhere on your screen. Highly customizable: colors, pixels, fonts, etc. I placed mine on the bottom of the screen (portrait) and changed the colors to blue theme to match my homescreen and made the background transparent. With this app you can see how hard your CPU works over time and can see how open apps effects your battery usage, It cost $2 but worth it. Runs perfect on the Atrix. The screenshots don't do the app justice. I wish the dev would make a similar app that does a spectrum analyzer.
Old news I already posted this type of app cpustautus search it

Xoom Status Bar Brightness?

Hi folks - My Dad - all 75 years of techno geek in him - just got a Xoom.
He loves Android (on his EVO & trying to learn the Xoom) but his eyes can't seem to see the status bar down @ the bottom clearly.
It looks dim. Is there way to adjust the brightness for the status bar (particularly the lower right one)?
Thanks.
I don't think there is. It just uses the standard screen brightness setting so its the full screen or nothing I think.

Thanks for the input.
From the lack of responses, I tend to think this isn't a huge issue for people. LOL!
We did adjust the brightness for the screen & it didn't seem to make much of an incremental difference.
Try one of the themes that brighten it up.
Touchwiz is brighter, I'm sure the red theme is brighter as well.

Hmmm...will look for it. Thanks for the idea.
If you're going to use a theme, you will have to convince him to let you root his XOOM.
If you want to go that route and don't feel like installing a completely new theme, I can make a brighter version of the stock control buttons for you. The clock font brightness is not editable at this time since hnytool hasn't been updated for 3.2, however.
As far as colors go, green is easiest and brightest seen by the human eye. Try the green theme.

Ripple effect makes pictures washed out on lockscreen

So this is my first topic here and since everyone seems so nice I figured this would be the best place to ask this question. Whenever I find a really good locksreen picture it seems as having the ripple effect just complelty washes out the picture and makes it look horrible. I realize that you can disable that effect but I personally like it. So I guess what my question is if there is any way to keep the ripple effect yet have HD like pictures on my lockscreen with the original resolution?
I get my wallpapers from the Zedge app and they all look great on the lockscreen w/ ripple effect. It could just be an issue with the resolution of the wallpapers you're using.

I noticed it with dark wallpapers. I mostly go with dark setups so I had to disable the ripple effect.

Ok this is probably in then because I love dark lockscreens as well =/ well thats kind of disappointing =(
It's emulating water on top of the picture. So yea its gonna be shiny looking, but best bet is to go with vibrant color on lock screen

Note 3 wallpaper cropping issue

Hi just received my note 3 very impressive device all round. Screen quality and speed is amazing, However the Sound quality is absolutely awful in comparison to my HTC one and just one other issue is about to send me over the edge. I can't seem to load up wallpapers apart from Samsung's in full resolution I have tried my usual trick of installing image 2 wallpaper but it's still cropping even when I hit advanced mode it mostly minimises the quality when I set the wallpaper any ideas out there? Its important to be able to show off the full resolution of the screen on this device as the screen is amazing.

I'm seeing the same issue. Only the Samsung wallpapers are in HD. Any of my own HD wallpapers get cropped weird and look SD.

No such issue using Quickpic Wallpaper... It lets you choose the crop yourself.
