AT&T Commercial - Brewer/Sales guy

Has anyone seen the new commercial from ATT with the 2 guys starting a brewery business? They show the tilt a few times.
I almost fell of my chair laughing when the guy took a picture with his "customer" in a bar. The lighting in the room would have made my phone cry for light. Obviously it was all superimposed but funny none the less.

yep i noticed that too.

youtube link?

The thing that boggles my mind is that the superimposed images of the text message kind of look like WM6.1 in an orange color.

Commercial is first link on this page: http://www.skyscraperbrewing.com/events/commercial.html

I love how they use a flash transition between the scene where the salesman is using the camera and next scene where the brewer is looking at the picture. As if to imply that the phone actually has a flash.

Yea I've seen the advert. I think that when he takes the picture with the phone facing the wrong way due to the fact thar there is no front camera

1. There are no differences in speed in regards to color.
2. I haven't used the Pure Rom.
3. The sliding mechanism is the best I have ever seen, felt, and used.
4. The Loud Speaker Volume is not loud enough in public places of with the television on. Not suggested for music playback.
No, I have not faced these problems on my X1
Yes, the phone is extremely slow for a Windows Mobile device.
Also, there are more problems that you should be aware of. After a long span of use, the device will show cracks and lose it's paint. Second, the keyboard will lose it's sensitivity within 2 years (phones are suppose to maintain a functional keyboard forever).

Thirded. Ultimately the only major problem I haven't been able to solve either through Sony repair or tweaking is the sluggishness of the phone. I would say that I now have a phone that does nearly everything I want, but it's fairly slow. I also wish the camera and video recording were better, but they are better than what you might expect on a WM phone, I guess.
ps welcome back Orelsi. Where the hell you been???

Thanks lol .
I got a new job and did a couple of months of post graduation studies abroad before that.... I didn't have time for anything personal .
I will stay permanently now (unless something else pops up), but probably won't have that much time to post....

I second that emotion. Although sometimes excessive I always appreciated the harsh smackdown orelsi would bring to the iPhone trolls that would come here (no offense to rational iPhone owners). It seems they have left us alone now. Perhaps they have gone to Leo forums?

[Q] Galaxy Note Screen Issues!!!

Dear friends...
Im new here so Ill try to be breif.
I bought a galaxy Note and I have an issue.
Im not familiar with terms so I dont know if my problem is called banding or anything else of the kind.
In a page that has a white backround (happens with some other backgrounds too but especially with white) I notice this:
The white changes shades... for ex.: it could take a pink-ish shade or a green-ish shade or a light blue one. All this ofcourse as a shade and not eye-popping differences. Just noticable.
Does anyone have knowledge on this issue?
What I'm really sick about finding out is if others are facing this problem also or if this is just my devise because Im an extremly lucky person and I dropped it right out of the box!!! So my worry is if I did some damage to the screen, or if this is just an issue with the hd led display.
Any help would be highly appreciated because as you understand, I will feel much less stupid if this is a common problem, rather than having caused it myself.
Thanking in advance
Gus

Uh... sounds like you need to return it. It shouldn't change shades when displaying white.

^^^Copy that, you need to get that replaced.

Does the white change shades while you are looking at the phone directly or when you are moving it sideways and viewing from varying angles?

Same problem here
I have the same issue with the screen you describe! I thought I am the only one...Could it be a wide-spread problem and other don't notice it? it is a very faint hue change from pink to green with a variable frequency but on low-brightness is annoying as it distracts me from reading... I do not know if it is a problem with the device or a feature of the superamoled display; I did not see this on my Galaxy s1 nor S2.
So, my concern: is this going to stay like this, to degenerate or to cure by itself.
I may return the phone but due to the stock shortage I will have to stay without it and I am quite hooked by this device...
Also due to the fact that this is barely visible it may not be accepted for servicing.

I know exactly what you are talking about, and i have seen it in my device. Do not fear, it is not a hardware fault, and is not caused by your drop:
Go to settings / display and scroll down. You will see 'auto adjust screen power' and when this is checked it seems to cause this, although i agree it is barely noticeable.
I keep mine checked because i prefer the potential power savings

I want to thank everyone for their replies!
Thank you Gahshn and dannstarr.
You cant imagine what a releif it is to know I didnt cause this problem myself.
Dannstarr thank you VERY much for your settings suggestion.
Im under the impression that it DID reduce the frequency of the problem quite much but it didnt completely stop.
Nevertheless, it is an improvement.
The fact that Im not alone on this, is a releif by itself but,
anyone else who is facing the problem and has more suggestions on this, please reply!!!
I guess there's no point on taking it to Samsung now.
They'll just do a factory reset and I'll loose what ever free apps and progress within apps and games I've made.

directly my friend

Different light intensity
I have a similar problem. I don't so much see shades with different colors, but different light intensities, horizontally across the screen if you hold it in portrait mode (typical way of holding in one hand).
You mostly notice it when all the display is grey, but also a bit on white.
You can see it by downling the free tool "Screen test" and going to the third page (first is white, second black and third grey).
I made a picture of it.
Do you have this issue?
I wonder if it makes sense trying to replace it.

@ Hironimo
Yes my friend, I downloaded the app that u said and these lines DO appear maybe not as intense as shown on the photo but visible.
As far as my issue, its very nerve braking because it doesnt appear at once so if you wanna show someone what ur talking about its very difficult.
Its more vissible with low brightness and with apps with white backround like gmail or browsing etc. You observe the screen for a minute or less, and it appears.
I think we hit the jackpot with this screen and I think we should all contact samsung in Korea because they are enjoing almost my one month salary and I am getting dizzy by reading within their so called hd super amoled screen! If I only knew......

I have a similar issue - horizontal banding in landscape view and hue change of white between pink and green (!) - barely visible in plain light but annoying whan screenfilter is on (screenfilter is a free app to reduce the brightness for use at night); I have not seen other phone (none of my friends have this model) but on previous phones I had I did not notice this type of problem.
I do not think it is a defect - is more like a variation in quality of the pentilematrix I would not expect from a manufacturer this screen.
Sending for replacement may look bizarre because it is a minor problem and you may be told that no screen is perfect and have issues like this to some extent.

Yes, this is also my take on it.
It is no major defect, and indeed if I send it in for repair they may say there is nothing wrong. And if I send it back to amazon saying it is faulty they will replace it (once) and I may get a screen with the same issue.
I do have to say that on the photo it appears clearer as when you normally look at it, and in normal use you seldomly notice it.
But when I compare it with my "old" galaxy s2 I know what evenly lit means ...
My friend also tells me i thinks the defect is not big enough to do something about it.
In so many other respects I love the note.
Especialy that FINALLY they have volume controls on the headset.
But I'm very intersted to see how many others have this or similar issues...
Maybe if we are enough we can contact Samsung and get a statement.
What about creating a poll?

edit: sorry, other topic.

Uh, on the topic of screen issues.... here is mine: the super-duper-black is not that black.
See the pic, that is supposed to be full black. Granted, this was taken in total darkness and with a long shutter, but it can still be seen. Hell, I noticed it yesterday when I wanted to take notes on a black background, under standard room lighting conditions.
(This is a review device, so I'll return it anyway.)

Is it visible under normal viewing conditions? i.e. not when taking long exposures in total darkness. Serious question btw. I'm just unsure from your post if this is something you can see generally.

Wow, I also have this problem and really thought it was just me because nobody had mentioned it so far. It's a problem that doesn't feel big enough to send the phone back, but is a big enough problem to annoy the hell out of me.
I have so far chosen to ignore the issue, but agree with the other comments regarding the fact that tinkering with the settings does make it less apparent. And again, I agree that I love the phone so much, I don't want to send it back for repair (if that's what it needs), but the underlying problem is... does it need a repair? or is it a feature?

So far only under moderate light and a black background. Which is what I'd use for e-book reading or writing into the note app during a session.
edit: tried it with fbreader, on night mode. You won't notice it during the evening, even with minimum brightness, unless there are a couple of empty lines. Then it looks as if the screen would be dirty.

Judging from the fact that there are many of us, it seems that it is not a matter of repair.
But... Im surprised that not all users have noticed and I sure would like the opinion of a samsung technician or a professional. Just to make sure.
But I also have difficulty turning it in...
Thats why we are here
To be convinced that it is a general issue and not individual.

I have the same issue, and I haven't dropped mine. But it's subtle enough that I wouldn't be surprised if many ppl don't even notice it. It hasn't been bad enough to bother me... Just kinda makes me wonder if I'm setting things sometimes

[Q] Video/Zoe Sometimes Blue

Sometimes when I record, I'll get blue colors on the edges of my screen. Does anybody else get this problem? It sounds like a software issue, and that's what I hope it is.

i only notice it in less than ideal situations..Like something im filming is dark but there is light present on the edges behind me..Sometimes it's green too

i get this all the time..happens only on the edges of the pictures or video. i believe this might be only happening when you are taking pictures under those fluorescent light bulbs(energy savers) ..reason why i say this is because it only happens when I'm indoors and not using flash. does anyone know if this is a camera issue or is it just those damn light bulbs ???...my place is dimly lit with one light bulb...

I just want to be sure we're having the same problem. I attached some screenshots of what I'm talking about, and as you can see, Zoe has to be enabled. My take is Zoe does it because it's a "video."

Im willing to bet there is a computer monitor some where very close to you in this picture because that is when I noticed it as well...I lower manually the ISO to help eliminate too much unwanted noise.
EDIT: Deeerp just saw the keyboard in the 1st pic so obviously there is a monitor near by...I have had this happen out doors at night as well though..If you get away from the light source on the edges it should help.

There is, but it also happened in the hallway when I was messing around with Zoe.
Alright, just happy to hear it's a software issue . I was hoping I didn't have to return my phone...so much time spent into setting it up!

G4's Single LED flash... has anyone noticed how bad it is?

Hey guys...
I took a picture of myself indoors with flash and I am beside myself in utter disbelief. LG took away dual LED that was so awesome on the G3 and I can't help but wonder... who's the genius that thought this was a good idea??? Close range shots of people with flash makes them look like they have a severe case of jaundice and are about to throw up. Taking the same photo with a G3 or even a Galaxy S5 yields normal looking skin tone. What amazes me is that after a few days of searching, I've only been able to find at most 2 mentions of this. Has no one else noticed how badly yellow/green tinted flash pictures are with the G4?
Are there any fixes / adjustments? Any chance Marshmallow might address color balance to help with this situation? I must be missing something because I can't fathom LG making such an obvious oversight because I'm sure there had to have been some thought and argument around removal of the 2nd LED. I can't facepalm myself enough... although I really truly hope I'm wrong.
Anyone?
