Hey guys,
I just wanted to know just how visible your screen matrix(white dots on the screen) is? Mine is very noticeable, and I was wondering if that's the nature of the US Tmobile one. If not then I'll prolly try and get it replaced.
Thanks
I only see it under direct sunlight and usually only if the screen is off.
I admit that I like the grid pattern of small dots and bigger dots and the lines.
They say the screen is 4.7 but also advertise on screen buttons and for some reason the screen just looks smaller than 4.7 inch. The buttons always seem to be there, it's my understand that on screen buttons means that when they aren't needed that they go and that part of the screen that was dedicated to those buttons returns to normal function. I've seen no proof of this however and was wondering if they're just dedicated buttons and it's being called on screen so they can make the screen larger in the spec sheets? Or if the screen is 4.7inch and those buttons are nothing to do with the visible screen size?
Thanx.
The buttons go away during full screen videos, and other apps that use full screen mode (like many games). The screen itself is not smaller than advertised, you're just getting a slightly lower resolution than advertised, when not in full screen mode

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.
Hello @ all,
so i bought me a white bamboo MX style, i would like to ask if you have these weird artifacts when unlocking the screen. Its instantaneous and can be seen on the lower part of the screen but its there, and it happens every time.
Long shot, but any chance you have any apps installed that can draw over other apps? I use LMT Pie controls. When I use Pie to turn off my screen the Pie activation areas show as black bars as the screen is fading out.
I have the same issue but it's more like on whole screen on mine, I have this from the beggining it's preatty annoying but it doesn't afect anything.

Hi all.
I want to use my fire stick on my ultra wide screen monitor with an aspect ratio of 21:9. Unfortunately I get two massive black bars on the sides due to the resolution.
I'm looking for a way to change the resolution on the firestick - I don't mind tinkering with the firestick, perhaps I can do this with an app.
Would appreciate any advice.
You change it by holding certain buttons (sorry idk them off the top of my head) but no way that its gonna output in that resolution.
I ALSO HAVE BLACK BARS ON MY TV THROUGH BEELINK GT KING WITH ANDROID 9 IN TIVIMATE PREMIUM. I TRIED EVERYTHING I KNOW AND STILL BLACK BARS ON CERTAIN CHANNELS.
THE FUNNY THING MY BEELINK GT ULTIMATE WITH ANDROID 6 USING ASPECT RATIO FEATURE IN TIVIMATE WORKS BUT NOT IN ANDROID 9.
DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS?
