No pink spot in camera.

One of the issues with galaxy s2 was the pink spot in the pictures taken with camera.
From the photos taken from GNote that issue seems to be absent.
Good new !!!!!

Good to know!!!!

that issue is sooo annoying I've had it with my last 2 android phones! Glad to see it go

Pink spot coming by self. When I received my SGSII it was no pink spot detected.....after 2 weeks, I saw this pink bich (I believe is coming by overheating (overclocking).
But really good news SGNote processor will be much more friendly with overclocking....u will see soon.
Regards

The good old pink spot...
I'm still using good old HTC HD2. This had pink spot issue too, with winmob and Android. Some ROMs got rid of but in some it had it's comeback.

Ha, no pink spot, just tried.....

Sorry I have to say,
It is still there,
but not that worse..........
It shows on complete white objects.

its still there on mine

I have sgs2... no pink spot present... I tested on the dark while using negative mode

I've got Galaxy Note on 11 Nov 2011, I noticed that when switching on Camera, targeting any white wall, I notice Columns / Bars of shadows are moving like curtain or Smoke from left to right of the screen specially in a low light places, also a pink spot in the middle of the screen.
Is this normal? if not, What I have to do?
I have Galaxy Note GT-N7000 - 2.3.6 JPKK2
Kernel Ver: 2.6.35.7-N7000JPKK2-CL726640

Please advice what camera firmware version and IPS do you have on SGS2. Camera firmware you can check by entering *#34971539# and tab first option, for IPS version tab third option. Thanx.

Well HTC HD2 had similar problem, but they managed to resolve it simply by releasing a patch, and pink spot gone. Diffdrent story about Sammy.

There was a patch released in samsung apps for the s2.

Sold my HOX, SGSIII here I come!

I ordered my HOX from ebay after reading all the positive reviews about it's crisp screen. But as soon as I powered up my phone and went in to the setting screen I could clearly see the dull yellowish tint on the whites. I had come from super amoled screen on SGSII. So the screen looked too warm for my liking, blacks were also not that deep.
After updating the device to the latest firmware, flashing 4 different custom ROMs, the yellow tint did not go away. Now today after two days I just decided to sell it for $120 less than what I had bought it for. $120 gone in vain.
From now on I will always buy electronic stuffs before testing it personally, and will never trust all these "REVIEW" sites.
Hope the SGSIII will have better screen than HOX and SGSII, otherwise I'm f****d.

Don't worry mate... **** happens. I hope you'll have a more satisfying experience with the SGS3. It's always a good idea to try out a demo of the phone at a local store before taking the plunge, but as far as HOX is concerned, it's been a gamble so far... people have gone through upto as many as 9 replacements (acc to the HOX forum) and are still finding issues with it. Some have been lucky enough to get a fault-free device, but a significant proportion are very miffed at the QC implemented by HTC before shipping the phones off. Same goes with the HOS - what with the chipping issues and all. Replacements are not the solution here, as i guess HTC needs to seriously take a good hard second look at its manufacturing process.

My hox is on Craigslist. Ordered a pebble blue from negri.

Read on the HOX forum that the yellow tint is due to the lamination glue that takes some time to dry out and set and then the colours become better. I really don't know how accurate that info is, but going by my personal experience with a One X (friend's) I must say the screen is positively the best I have ever seen on a mobile device so far. That said, I still have to put it next to an SGS3 to see how they both compare (this can be a very subjective feeling, so there's no way to tell without actually eyeballing it yourself)

Good job brother! Welcome to the club.

Sold my HOX on ebay yesterday and ordered my SGS3 today. I just didn't love the HOX-- I finally smoothed it out mostly with a custom rom and kernel, only to introduce some other goofiness. Oh well--the SGS2 was my fave all time android device so I'm excited to use the new one.

I did try the demo unit but I forgot taking my SII to compare the screen.(biggest mistake). At the store the screen look good. But when I came home and compared it with my SII I was highly disappointed.
I doubt that it would have lost it's tint, because it was way too yellow.
Yeah, HTC need to improve their quality control.

I agree, SGSII with custom GB ROMs was perfect, super smooth, fast and had excellent battery life. May be SII's awesomeness didn't let us love HOX.
All the best for your new SGSIII. (BTW, I'll test it personally before ordering it).

i returned my HOS for a SGS3. Does that count??

And the HOX Exodus begins.....

REAL white does seem slightly yellow, but not everyone likes it. I had my Plasma Calibrated, and while it made the detail much better by making the grey scale perfect, it was way to yellow for my taste, so i changed the temperature. It may not be 'correct', but its much more pleasant (and i still have the details and brilliant blacks).
You get a lot of 'true white' nazis on here, that blindly moan about AMOLEDs being blue and over saturated, but some of us like that.

Pre-ordered mine too. WIsh to sell my I9100 S2 as well. Interested can send me a PM. I believe i am a part of this club already.

I'm holding on to my HOX till next Wednesday, when the SGSIII comes out here in Germany. (preordered a white one on Amazon)
And then the HOX needs to be replaced or fixed before I can sell it since that freakin' power button is already completely worn out and mushy after just one month of use.....

It looks sick!

The bezel looks a little wide which indicates that the screen is smaller maybe 4.8 inches like the s3 unless otherwise they increased the size of the phone. I just hope they didn't reduce the screen size. And they come up with the octa core variant. Fingers crossed.

Dude it looks like an S4 with a $15 protector from Ebay. Not saying it looks bad or anything, but it's merely a coating over the same design. Hopefully it's actually really rugged. Still looks a little fragile to me, too thin.

I want this as my next phone. Wonder if we will see it on Verizon by the Fall.

Planning to buy S7 edge need suggestions!!!

hi friends
i am girish here
I am planning to buy this device can any one please suggest me its pro's and con's?
Also need some sample pictures from cameras to decide as my wife want best camera
hope some one will surely guide me

If you need the best camera, the S7/Edge is the only choice, there is no other phone that can provide this image quality.

Agreed, the image quality is really awesome, sometimes even more realistic than reality ahah
I don't see any con's except for the price
It has the best screen, the best camera, a really awesome battery (see on XDA), a beautiful design (S7 edge), and the water resistance can save you ! Honestly it's THE phone to buy

Consider the dual sim version... Not much more expensive.. I regret not getting it thinking the battery life would be too adversely effected... A colleague of mine bought it after me and we don't notice any major battery life degradation. Regardless, S7 is a solid piece of work..no cons I've noticed after about a month of use.

Best camera on a phone I've ever seen.

Go for it, can't go wrong.
Best Phone I ever had.

Buy a good case if you buy one of these phones. I recommend this one or cases like it that cover parts of the front. My girlfriend's screen shattered the other day from a waste high drop in a Caseology case and I've dropped my phone on pavement more than a dozen times with zero damage.

Hi guys!
Finally after so many years using WM, I decided to make a change( specially that i dropped badly, deadly my 950xl). I fall in love with the s7 edge screen and specs. The only thing I'm afraid...the screen. I read a lot of storries about the screen cracked from nowhere, or so. Is that sensitive piece of glass?!

If you are going to buy Samsung you should wait for the S8, it will have the latest version of Android, that's how slow Samsung are releasing it to the current ones

Ugly phone and the screen doesn't compare IMO. This screen on the S7 Edge is unbelievable. As for cameras, never used the Pixel camera, but in comparisons I've seen online, they are close, but the S7's camera usually comes out the winner in head to head battles. Especially for speed and more options in the camera app itself, which vanilla Android on the Pixel is sadly lacking.

Take the silver one. It's wonderful

While I have the classic black, yup, the silver one is nice, but my wife has the blue. It is really nice. I would have gotten it myself, but didn't want to have the same colour phone and she got hers first

Ok guys, is not about the color, camera or what so ever. Is about the screen. Is it showing after some use, any black spots or the screen just crack " just by it's self ?" is it that sensitive piece of kit?

I haven't had the S7 Edge for that long, but as mentioned, the screen is amazing. As for issues with it? I haven't read anything online and I did a lot of research before coming from the 6P to this phone. It is built solidly IMO and should have no issues. If others have had a problem, they can post here, but this is a solid phone for sure.

Does anyone know if LG was able to squeeze any more performance out of a 2 year old camera sensor? Are there any sources/articles on if they were able to? I am happy with the picture quality in most situations, but I can't help feeling like I ultimately downgraded from the LG V10. The screen is definitely a lot better than the V10, and performance seems snappier. I love LG phones, though they have let me down with a few things in the past. My original V10 and all 3 Asurion replacements thereafter ended up with bad screen retention. I don't remember having it on my G2 or G4, though I've seen many people complain that they had the issue. I'm actually kind of kicking myself right now for jumping the gun, because I kind of want to try the S8 out (though I really am not a fan of the curves when it comes to practicality and durability), but I doubt I'd be able to now, because I've already returned the G6 twice. Once because the silver was great to look at, but the black divider between the screen and silver bezels was an eyesore. The second time because the glass cover over the camera was cracked right out of the box. They literally told me I cannot do another exchange, but there are two Verizon stores in my area. Maybe the other one would. And I don't think there will be much development on the phone by the android community. There isn't even a dedicated Verizon LG G6 section yet.

Ended up returning it for an S8. Question is moot.

Im more interested to know why on earth they use a 2 year old sensor in a flagship device?
Yes, newer isn't always better but for camera sensors it is.
And then they price it out of the market with an insanely high price tag. I do not understand this tactic.
I like my LG G2 so much, that it has increased my loyalty to LG (never had an LG device before) but from the G3 onwards it has been a slow decline.

Newer isn't always better. I have a 6 year old dSLR that blows any smartphone out of the water. There's a lot more to a camera than a sensor.

pretty much. Some worse than others. But all had it. It was just like this pink tint that would surround the edges. They released an update to fix it and it made it a little better but if you tilt the phone I still saw pink. Coming from the s7e which had a perfect display maybe I was more picky then most. It was just something I couldn't look past. Sucked too cuz I REALLY liked the battery life I was getting.

Ive just Googled the fault and seen some pics, there's no way anyone could ignore that.
I had a very similar problem on a professional Dell 24 inch monitor a few years ago. Dell tried denying there was a fault but I had two of the exact same models side-by-side on my desk... one working perfectly, one with the pink tinge. After sending a few pics they replaced the faulty one.
So many people tout Samsung screens as the best on mobile phones. I've always disagreed and to me this proves it.

Maybe I just got a good unit. I don't see any pink. The only thing I notice is a slight shadow effect on the left and right edges of the screen when the phone is viewed at certain angles. I suspect this has something do do with the curves of the display. I was one of the few people who wanted a flat screen S8, but I'm okay with it now.
