yet another leak for the i717 (UCLF5) with no fix... :(

I'm getting "page not found"...?

if you read back a bit, you'll learn that Samsung simply shifted the black clipping point to a higher value by adjusting the system-wide contrast value in the ICS leak. In other words, sadly, the problem is still there in most dark media... :(

Still no love from AC or any of the other tech blogs... :(

That may explain Samsung's reaction, or lack thereof; but, it doesn't explain why all the Android and tech blogs are ignoring the issue as well. I expected Samsung to refuse to acknowledge it, but not the others...

I meant that I wrote the summaries and provided the links when I submitted the tips to all the blogs. None of the sites have bothered to respond to the tips or post an article about the issue -- so no, there hasn't been any acknowledgment of my submissions by any of them, including AC. Maybe...

I've submitted it to AC twice, Samsung twice, Engadget twice, Android Police once, and half a dozen others -- each time with a well-written summary and links to this thread and those on XDA. Sadly, none of them have so much as acknowledged the submissions or the issue. :(

Screenshots wouldn't work, as they don't capture what is actually being displayed on the Note screen -- instead, screenshot image files contain what SHOULD have been displayed. So, if you view those shots on a seperate device, like a PC or another phone, they'd look normal and not represent...

You can skip all the PS Express stuff -- you're barking up the wrong tree. supercurio, an n7000 owner and dev, has already dug into the kernel on that version of the Note and discovered Samsung's poorly coded gamma implementation (the actual chipset interaction). He stated that he may be able...

looks "fine," how? what's the lowest number grey box you can see before it changes to black? Yours would only be the second Note, of thousands tested, that supposedly doesn't suffer from pronounced clipping; so, a photo would be great.

please find a darker room abd do the proper gamma test using the instructions and test image found in the second link in the OP. Report back with your findings. Better yet, post photographs (NOT screenshots!)...

Do the proper gamma test from the second link in the OP.

you obviously don't use your phone the same way a lot of us do, but why do you keep downplaying the issue for those of us who do suffer from it more often?

Says who? You?! I personally watch full-length shows and movies on this device every day during my three hour commutes to and from work -- and it genuinely sucks when some of the videos look like crap thanks to this flaw. It also sucks when you try to take a photo at night, or in a dark room...

One would have to be blind (or live in a Best Buy showroom?) to not see this problem on their Note if they ever attempt to view photos, Netflix, YouTube, or other media that contain dark scenes. Or, they could work for Samsung... I guess that's always an option? Maybe you guys don't care if...
