Hello all,
I recently bought Note 3. I play a lot of games on the smartphone
Some of them(not all but most), have random white (sometimes colored) dots appearing on the screen.
It happens in the menus and in game.
The dots are about pixel sized and it's kind of annoying.
The issue does not occur when connected to external monitor via MHL adapter.
Considering the above - I really don't think it's a game or OS problem. What are the chances - display, display cable, memory or GPU? And should I return it?
Thank you in advance!

Hello all,
I have HTC Tytn for 4 months now and have no complaints so far, but lately I'm facing some strange screen problems. Once a while a screen becomes dim or totaly white, and when I turn off the device and turn it on again it stays white. After some repetitions of this procedure it becomes normal again. Even if I make a soft reset of the device, it stays white sometime.
I attached two photos to show you a screen, which is corrupted (screen_02_s.jpg), and the normal one (screen_03_s.jpg).
When this problem occur, the device works OK: I can do a phone calls, listen to music, ... Another thing is, that when I use a Pocket Controller Application, which is used to display mobile device screen on the desktop, I can see the normal screen on my desktop PC, even though the screen on the mobile device is white.
I've read a lot about screen alignment issues and I don't have any such problems, which are reported in the forums.
If you have any ideas how to solve this problem, please help.
its seems the LCD is faulty (hardware problem), I would claim a warranty replacement. I dont beleive software will cause such a problem.
By the way, how was the basketball game on Wednesday?
Hi, I just got my Nook Color a few days ago and am loving it! However, I got it as a refurb, so I'm paranoid about it having any issues. I noticed that sometimes when I hold it a certain way (with my thumb on the bezel while the nook is upside down) I get orange ripples in the screen (kind of like what happens when you poke a monitor). Is this normal?
Also, does the screen only do multitouch with 2 fingers max?
Thanks!

I've noticed that if the light from my LCD monitor hits the Nook screen at certain angles I see colored bands on the Nook screen.
Not sure about the orange ripples unless it's caused by polarized light like from an LCD.
As far as I know only two fingers work for multitouch.
Sorry slightly off track, but what is multitouch and how does it work? Thanks.

Controlling your device screen with more than 1 finger at a time
i.e. pinch to zoom - has multi touch x 2
Nook Color is limited to 2 touch points - The latest design that I'm aware of - on most Tegra 2 tablets - is 10 points of contact to control the screen ( there's a microprocessor that gives the screen functionality ). That's really only needed for gaming though - as far as I can guestimate.
Games like fruit ninja - or 2 player games where a 2 people might be using the tablet at once to control the screen can use more than 2 points of contact to enhance gameplay.
hello

This has been discussed already. Have a search of this forum.
Basically it's due to the difference in aspect ratio between your TV and the tablet.
Under the original firmware, when using a video app like MX Player it was possible to zoom in on the tablet and this would allow the image on the TV to zoom to the point where the black bars on the disappeared. This no longer works on either the 4.3 or 4.4.2 firmware. If you use HDMI a lot and the bars bug you, you need to roll back to the 4.2 firmware. Bear in mind you will still get the black bars on the main GUI, but not in movie players that allow zooming.
thanks for your answer
i found this im not sure if working

Good find. For my part I decided to take another route. I now use a wireless dongle and the free companion app by EZCast to stream movies to my TV which works quite well now - when streaming in EZCast mode (basically WiFi direct) there are no bars on the left and right. The screen can be turned off to save battery. You can also minimise the app while you're streaming a film to allow you to open the IMDB app for those vital 'what has she been in before' arguments with your partner . The dongle was about £30 from Amazon. It also features EZMirror which, um, mirrors the whole tablet's screen to the TV but then you're back to having bars left and right, and there's too much latency for gaming. Also, when using EZMirror, there is a pronounced slow down in the tablet whereas when using an HDMI cable there is no performance penalty at all. It's a shame that Nvidia aren't taking advantage of the latter as devices that output images to a TV via an MHL port/adapter experience a considerable performance hit as the device has to work so much harder. Another negative factor here is that the Note doesn't seem able to take a charge when connected to a USB hub via an OTG cable which also limits the usefulness of the tablet as a media device connected to a TV or monitor.
To return to the original problem, my TV has an option in the settings menu to either 'just scan' or to display 16:9. The latter removes a big chunk of the bars on the left and of the screen, but it also hides part of the top and bottom of the picture, which is OK on a movie, but less so when viewing the home screen etc.

Can you share us the photo?, I'm thinking on buying one and I want it to use for playing videos on my TV.

Do you mean EZCast information?
If so, there's lots of info on YouTube that will explain/show you how it works http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6_U44XUdJ0. Search for videos by EZCast themslelves - they have videos for various devices.
Bear in mind that there are two basic modes, EZCast and EzMirror. EZMirror literally mirrors everything you see on your tablet's screen (which also leads to vertical black bars on the left and right of the picture on the TV screen, just like when you use HDMI due to the differing aspect ratio of the tablet and the TV).
EZCast presents a menu on the tablet screen and then allows you to select different types of media to stream to the TV. This works well for films because it will fill the TV screen. It's less useful for streamimg music to a TV at the moment because it will only stream one song file at a time, after which you have to select another song.
If you buy one, there are different hardware versions available. Mine has 128MB of RAM. I have a feeling that those on offer that have 256MB RAM and a faster CPU will provide better streaming performance.
Hope this helps

Thanks, but I meant the vertical bands when displayed the HDMI Output on the TV

Oops, sorry. The exact size of the bands on the left and right of the TV screen will depend upon what formats the TV supports. For example one of my TVs zooms in slightly by default cropping a bit of the top and bottom of the phone or tablet's screen off (meaning you lose most of the notification bar and some of the soft keys, or whatever is at the bottom of the picture). I have another TV that allows different settings such as 'just scan' that shows all of the phone or tablet's screen. The downside of this is that on a phone/tablet with a 1280x800 resolution you have vertical black bars about an inch wide on either side of the picture on a 32" TV. I'll try and get a photo...
Unfortunately the camera on my HTC Sensation is struggling to capture the problem tonight, but here's a closeup of the right hand side of my TV with the tablet set to full screen mode, and the TV picture settings to 'just scan'. I might try and get a fuller photo the daylight tomorrow.
Hi guys, i am (was) an owner of a GS4.
Once i wanted to sell my mobile.
Home button became squishy and didn't respond at all.
(Now i couldn't sell it but it worked for me).
I used a Custom Rom and assigned the menu as a home button.
Then, there was this mortifying day that i sat on my GS4 for an hour without knowing and the screen became all purple.
(Now, i couldn't sell it + it didn't work).
I looked up for a screen replacement and the price was about 160 USD.
And guess what a used GS4 cost? 160 USD as well.
So, i gave up and on my mind came up the idea to use it as a media player via MHL cable.
Now, i know that this will work. (Yes i know, that when you connect your phone to the MHL a pop-up appears on the screen but with a little fiddling on it i will press the "use tv output mode" (the colors of the screen are almost black but touch still works)).
Thus, we come to the questions of this journey,
1 - Will i be able to play videos and games on full screen when i rotate the phone?
2 - Is there a way, for the phone to operate without a battery BUT with a constant power supply from the wall charger?
Sorry for the long speech here but i felt creative.
Thanks in advance.
Ok, MHL cable works on SlimKat rom.
When cable plugs in, it automatically mirrors the screen to the tv.
Only problem is, the edges of the mirrored image exceed the television edges.
Any help?
bump
I just got an 8 Pro and have seen an intermittent issue with the screen whereby when scrolling I see a row of what looks like stuck pixels.
I was in QHD and 120hz and the row was in the middle of the screen stretching probably half way across the screen, it displayed for a second or 2 and then disappears. I tried FHD plus and it was replaced with a similar line at the very bottom of the screen. As I say it is intermittent and right now it is all fine, if it happens again I'll film it (screen recorded obviously did not pick it up)
Has anybody else seen this? Right now I am unsure if this is a hardware issue that warrants me returning it or a software glitch linkled maybe to 120hz??
Thanks
Ok, it is intermittent in general use but happens all the time when waking the device. QHD example attached. If I drop to FHD+ then the issue moves to the very bottom of the screen rather than the middle.
Where / when did you buy the phone?
It's certainly not normal behaviour.. does this occur in any other circumstances?
Also this should be in Q&A
Amazon.co.uk
It is consistent when waking the phone and intermittent in general use. The odd thing as I say is it appears in a different place when I switch to FHD+.

That's odd, but I would certainly point my finger at hardware.
Amazon are solid with returns, give them a shout and get it swapped, definitely not right.
Also a first for me, haven't heard anyone report this
