Thanks...running the LCD test also shows up the two lines (on red and blue but not noticeable on green)!
Looks like I'll have to restore back to Samsung stock and send it in for repair!

Problem on rotate my HD

normally, when we open the opera and rotate the HD to horizontal, the screen also will rotate, but i facing a problem with it now. once i rotate it, it will bring me back to the home screen, i tried many times, but it still can't rotate and bring me back to the home screen.
but, this problem can be solved after i do the softreset. after softreset, the problem will come back again after few days.i still can't figure out whether is my installed application crash or what.
anyone can help?
nobody know? please help...thanks in advance
It is most likely that you installed a color top bar and you installed the wrong one (some play nice, while some don't). If that's the case, just go grab a different color top bar (almost all the new ones are fine, it was really only a problem with some of the early ones)

it is all right, dude.

or maybe you just tell me the name of your topbar, i believe you can see the top bar name from the Remove Program there. Million thanks..

Quick fix for black bottom in TCPMP player.

Hey, I am using the TCPMP-0.72RC1-GF5500Edition-Alpha4, and i have also tried the original TCPMP-0.72RC1.. It works fine, but the 3 buttons play/pause, forward and stop is hidden next to the field "options". Only when i hit the buttons it appear fast, and then goes away again..
All got that "problem"?
Do you know another tcpmp version where it works?
..
its like the color of the bottom is gone.. its all black.. so i can only see the mute button and File, Option, mutesound and volume...
I had the same problem...the problem is that the background color of the button is black color, same color of the default windows theme..
Try to change the windows theme color and you will see all the buttons..
Nikitas
Ohh i see Cant you fix it someway? so i still can have my black theme?
I have made a quick fix. its a bit better than the black bottom

You might need to take an actual photo and not a screen shot.

Waiting for advices!
Thank you!
The pictures are totally out of focus. But in those faded pic I don't see anything wrong, do you?

The actual pictures all look fine to me but in the screenshot I am seeing some "colour banding" which is normal at the moment as the device is creating 16bit colours and not 32 bit (yet anyways).
OP... Is it the colour banding that you are talking about? If so then that is normal for now I am afraid.
You can simply press and hold the home button and then the power key and release both to take a screenshot. You can then see them in the Gallery.

No, actually you need help from Samsung (repair) or where your purchased it from (return or exchange). If you're running a stock ROM and did a hard reset the problem's obviously not software.
You can clearly see in the pictures (although they are terribly out of focus) that there seems to be a blue bar goes across the screen where the image is, and it's not there on the screenshot.
That's a hardware problem and the phone needs to be returned and repaired/replaced.

Screen issue - line across the screen

i have no idea how this has happened,
Used last yesterday to read the latest flash comic on the train,
Then went for a few drinks, home and today after getting up theres a line running across the screen close to the middle,
I gave the screen a couple of tap and the colour of the line changes, and after a few taps the line goes away then comes back while using the tab,
Currently running stock firmware without root...
Anyone have any ideas,
Have just contacted Samsung waiting for a reply...
I love this tab so it wont stop me from using but would live to know if its serious and in need of urgent repairs..
As there is still warranty valid, I would make use of it
Can you plz add a screenshot?

Volume down.
But this test mode is broken not sure what is useful for.
I extracted smali from Contacts.apk and found code *#2846# (dial in stock dialer)
This Service Test Mode has ~20 different tests.
Volume Down - start tests or go forward
Volume Up - go back to previous test
Power - interrupt test
Home - click twice to exit from Service Test Mode
p.s. Warning: First test in row is LOUD !
