What do you mean?
Did you join XDA just to say this?
Thinking of buying the Note 3 but really wanna know how bad the smearing issue is cause i bought the Galaxy s4 on launch day and couldn't live with the smearing issue ( my girlfriend also bought a Galaxy s4 on launch day and still has it..she didn't think the smearing was annoying..i hated it )
Could someone with a Note 3 try both things explained below on low brightness
1. Download zedge and search for black wallpapers..then while scrolling thru the wallpapers..do you so smearing..purple glow on the grey background in zedge between the wallpapers?
2. Choose a black wallpaper as background and install nova launcher...then on the homescreen set a widget with some grey in it like the stock music player widget and scroll between the homescreens...and also with some icons on the homescreens?
On the Galaxy s4 doing the above there was a lot of smearing..purple glow visible even after the fix from samsung cause they only fixt it in the samsung framework

I tested Zedge.. Yes there is smearing.
But when you uncheck Auto Brightness Smearing is much much better.
Auto Mode is very dark. In a dark room it gets darker again..I recommend manual Brightness 30 - 50%. Then its really fine.

The purple smearing effect is probably just because the greys blur when moving and they appear purple. Entirely normal and probably same on all phones.

Jep. Black = Pixels are off
When you Scroll the Pixels need Time to activate. Thats the Price for real Black

^^ Ditto, I don't find it annoying, I didn't even know about it until the OP mentioned it.
Ive seen it in Tapatalk 2 with blue dark theme..
Black background and gray Text..The complete Text smeared..
Now i use the classic dark theme (dark grey background) and all is fine
Dont think about Smearing.. i think you will just see it in darker rooms.
Thanks a lot guys...you saved me 750 bucks, some people don't find it that big of a issue like my girlfriend who still has the Galaxy s4...for me it is an issue cause i like to have a black background and while using a black background with nova launcher..on my Galaxy s4 the smearing issue was visible on the icons switching thru the homescreens..don't want that on my next phone

Had the Note 2 and there the smearing was not present cause while displaying black the lights where still active. Bought the Galaxy s4 on launch day and that was the first time i had the smearing issue cause when displaying black the amoled screen is really off so when switching to another color like grey the lights need to become active witch creates the smearing. Sold the Galaxy s4 and bought the htc One that has no smearing but wanted a larger screen so bought a Note 2 again witch has no smearing issues cause the screen doesn't turn of like the Galaxy s4 when displaying black and hoped the Note 3 wouldn't have it but seems it does unfortunatly

OR you could've installed one simple app that would've fixed your smearing issue on your S4. Your blacks will not turn off completely and will remove smearing 100%.

Tried it 2 minutes ago on my girlfriends Galaxy s4 and it does reduce it for the most part but at a very low brightness there is still smearing unfortunatly
No problem though cause after the galaxy s1..s2..s3..s4 and note 1 and 2 it's time to give someone else a try

In the N900W8 manual for the Note 3 it states Do not use a screen protector. This causes sensor malfunctions.
Your opinion please

Could be the S Pen having some trouble with the hovering functions.
Works perfect here

Maybe it's just an "in case" warning, but yeah, I doubt that there will be much problems as they are so thin.
Hi guys,
I've just gotten my 4th S4 Keep swopping and changing from ios to android.
I've noticed if i tilt my screen i get a very prominent green tint on it, is anyone else experiencing this?
I'm running 4.3 and not sure if it was present on 4.2 (flashed it as soon as i got it)
Any thoughts or comments will be appreciated.
Thanks
Maybe ur colour blind? I have never seen the green thingy?

I have the i9505 LTE variant.
And this does exist for me as well.
What i do is install a custom kernel with screen temp support (like faux, ktoonsez kernels) and change from "Normal" to "Cool" that way it normalizes the green to a slight blue.

The tints are normal for AMOLED screens, you're lucky if you get one without.
