I just received this Galaxy Note and noticed that on youtube video playback, the HQ playback on various vids look grainy and somewhat pixelated. My friend has a Nexus and the same playback looks really clear. I've always heard great things about the Note's screen so I'm really surprised and disappointed. This is noticeable on different brightness levels. Can anyone suggest what I can do to determine if my screen has issues or if there is some setting I have to tweak?
You need to update your YouTube app as the default doesn't use hd, just hq. Also HD only works over wifi.

Thanks bud, updating the app worked.
HQ=480p. Obviously when you compare it to true HD, the HD will look better...

I hope you don't have the black clipping issue that is widespread on dark videos. By your're description of pixellation, it sounds like you might... :-(

I just got my note and it's showing the black clipping issues that are described here.... should I return my not and try to get one that doesn't have this issue?

As soon as you can, yes. Some units play almost unwatchable videos. Better units r out there

Have a look at the top of the screenshot of the calculator app, the colour is weird, is this considered normal?
Yeh. This is color banding issue. I got the same thing in the calculator app. Unfortunately currently there's no way to fix this

I had a similar color issue when composing email in Gmail app but it was from lower half of the screen, so it shows when screen is totally white. Was very clear in ICS rather than GB.
Sent it for repairs and after changing the back board, it disappeared in GB and visible in ICS but reduced a lot strangely. Apparently its a common issue in note and sgs2.
So i would say its both hardware and software issue.

Same issue in my galaxy note.at many places this kind of color fading which is after updating to ICS firmware.I am from india.i wish xda developers to inform the issue related to color fading in NOTE to samsung authorities stating issues in ICS firmware.

Its funny, ok let me explain, some images have this some not, this means its not necessary a screen issue, but more the way the image is displayed. Coulx be driver, dunno.
I like to compare it to tv.
Old tv was lower resolution. Picture looked ok. Watch same picture on full HDTV it looks like crap.
The same counts for movies etc.
Samsungs GB wasnt build for this notes beautiful screen

Hello.
I've played this video on my sadly black clipping affected device and I've noticed something really weird :
http://vimeo.com/m/16198274
Every time a bass sound pops (like a drum following the rhythm) the black clipping pattern changes. (its easier to notice this on night scenes in the corners of the video)
I don't really know if it has something to do with the black clipping problem or with the way the video was edited. What do you think?
Excuse my English, I'm Spanish

I was walking past a store and saw a Samsung tv with black clipping lol
Out device was a beta for samsung. They resolved the issue in note 2.

i still cant forget the first day i discovered it on my note ! and the saturn rings on the calculator screen :cyclops:
i cant imagine a TV with it lol
but i have a samsung pc monitor and it seems ok ....
first time i hear that its associated with sound too.....
For tell truth, I just finished to watch the video, but I didn't notice any bad clipping issue. Btw video quality was very low, but still didn't notice anything. I also decreased the brightness to lower value, but nothing changed..... Should I consider my display a good one then?

No. You must see the video in a completely dark room. Brightness screen is irrelevant.

I only see black clipping when i am in night mode. Besides that there is no black clipping even in the dark room at brightness levels given by default.
So for me it happens when i further decrease the beifhness levels.

Really? Nobody?

That's black clipping. Some users reported that an update solves the issue.
Wait for an update.
Hi guys, please, write here your experiences when watching videos/movies on SG4 screen. Its what you expected, or do you notice some bad disturbing issues like smearing etc.? Do you watch at night as well, any problems with display? Thanks for Yours replies in advance! I have SG2 now, I would like to know if watching movies steped up to higher level
Watching movies is just great. No smearing and the full hd screen is so beautiful (compared to a previous owned gs2 and gs3).

It's just awesome. The picture is sharp as a razor.
There's just one small glitch: when you're watching a movie with dark areas, you may see a difference in areas where pixels are pure black. I mean, you do notice when the leds are turned off. But it's not that much of an issue.

Thanks. Black patches, maybe because of smearing issue? Might will help use of free app Screen Adjuster - when set RBG values +5 / or set constrast value -10. Could you please try and let me know?
With the screen adjuster on smearing/ghosting/black patches whatever you wanna call it is gone but blacks look grey..

Coming from an S2, i am incredibly satisfied with the S4 screen.
The blacks look incredible and everything is razor sharp in HD. Also, the phone is very comfortable to hold since they've packed a huge 5" screen into a fairly small device.
Coming from an s1, the screen, holy f*** its gorgeous! Everytime I stick it on its dock to charge and it lights up at full brightness Its just beautiful!

Hi there,
I recently purchased a Nexus 4 following the price drop and generally speaking I'm very happy with it. I do however have one issue. When playing HD YouTube videos, there appear to be dropped frames every 5 seconds or so. This gives videos a somewhat jerky appearance and is particularly noticeable in clips involving slow panning. I did not expect this from a phone with a quad core processor. The video buffers fine and there is no apparent lag in other areas of the OS.
I am running stock Android 4.3. The phone is not rooted.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Quad core doesn't really have much to do with video playback smoothness. It may be thermal throttle. If the phone is getting hot, it might be lowering clock speed to keep the temperature safe. See if you get the same behavior on a cold morning, or with other video playing apps.

Thanks for responding. I've just tried the DailyMotion app and it is noticeably better. I'll also try YouTube tomorrow morning as per your suggestion. I do use a case with Perspex on the back. Could this affect heat dissipation?

Any case potentially could, though I use a pretty sturdy one and don't experience YouTube stutters. Are you running the latest YouTube version?

Yes I am. To be honest, the stuttering is pretty subtle but its one of those irritating things that you can't forget after you first see it.

I've noticed stutters on YouTube when the screen is tapped to bring up the buttons, when watching in HD.
