Blurry status bar notification icons - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The top of my phone just started doing this. I've provided a before and after for reference. The icons are only blurry on the home screen. Tried reverting to stock launcher with no luck. I was recently installing some new apps but nothing that has anything to do with effecting the appearance or notifications. Has anyone seen this before? I have to think it's a software issue rather than hardware.

I don't think this helps you, but maybe it'll help those you can try helping you.
It looks to me like the far left icons (notifications) are pretty much fine, as well as the bluetooth icon. That's really strange.
Also, in order for others to help you better, what is your phone model and rom? Rooted?
Edit: Oh, and that's definitely software, not hardware.

I think its not blurry..
If you focuse looking on it..
You see that some icons are merge.
Maybe you install something that can affect your status bar..

Misplaced scrolling arrows in long popup menus?

Don't know why but popup menus which are long enough to have scrolling arrows have these arrows' graphics very weird.
Top and bottom parts of the popup menu are wider than the middle, which looks quite ugly. Any ideas what may have caused this or even better, how to fix it?
Thanks.

anyone please?
I have the same problem.
Appears when disabling sense and popup menu have long titles.
This problem also have last dutty (Holy grail) custom 6.5 roms for hd.
same problem here!
i also noticed that the problem is gone when selecting another theme (for example rock republic) in the today settings, but then the new scroll sliders are also gone. they are only working with the "htc black" choosen...
i don't remember if this error also occurs with "stock conditions", with no tweaks applied. would be interessting if the problem is gone after a hard-reset. then we have to identify which tweak causes this...
anyone else with this problem?
me too have this problem.. its lame tht a official HTC theme does this..!!

There's obviously something else affecting this since it's only been mentioned by 4 people in 4 months. I think there's a lot more than 4 people that have this phone and use this forum.
What happens if you change to a different theme? Do you still have the same problem?

[Q] [Help] Need help from the community for next release

Hey everyone-
I'm asking for help from anyone who's willing to. I don't care if it's not normal for "devs" to ask everyone else for help, this is a community and we thrive on helping one another (by the way, I'm no dev).
Here's my situation: I have the next SkinnyEvo rom ready to be released. It's awesome. The only thing holding me back is a 'flickering' of system animations.
I've attached pictures so you can see what I'm talking about - notice the horizontal lines in the battery status when it's charging, or the downloading icon when using the market. It also happens when typing, scrolling text (like music), the launcher, and even some widgets when simply sitting on the homescreen.
From what I've been able to find, this 'flickering' issue used to be common back before I was involved with the HD2. It may seem like a small issue, but after a day of glitchy animations, you'll go crazy.
I've tried different kernels (only hastarins) and many other things.. but I would like to open it up to other suggestions so we can get this rom released! If you would like the rom "as is" to troubleshoot on your own, PM me and I will provide a link for you.
Thanks a bunch!

Its a small youtube bug.....but it doesn't show up always...even I get it....if it bothers you a lot ...try to reinstall the app or update it....it may fix it
the problem is gone in 4.3 i used to have the same thing
What do you mean version 4.3? You talking about the actual software on the phone or the version of the youtube app?
yes it happens too in my phone especially after you watched a video full screen and go back to the portrait mode. annoying.

Camera effects

Hi guys!
As I said before, I come from a very large list of Xperia phones xD, and one of the things I miss more is the "selective color" effect, mainly to get photos like this ones
You pick a object in the screen, and just shows the color of that thing (and all the things with that color) and every other thing is in gray scale, first picking blue

and then green
U know if there's an app in the samsung camera that can do something like that? there is a effect called "Orange Kiss" but only shows orange/red things and can't be modified, so that one nope
If can't be in samsung camera, another app that u know that can be make something similar?
thanks in advance guys!
I think the Camera360 app has the selective color capability. You can check it out.

Thanks dude!
I found it, is called Magic Color filter, it does almost the same but on a predeterminated "effects" (U can't select the object u want), is good but not as Sony's, hope somebody else knows another one, but this is good too, thanks bro!
Anyone knows if using a different camera software will make lower quiality photos? I mean, I don't think samsung let another apps use their software process.....

Note 4 Display turns on by itself or minimal touches

Hello, friends of the Note 4.
Im note sure if i am right here to ask about a specific problem.
Like i mentioned in the headline, the display of my phone turns on by minimal touches it seems, for example if i take the phone in my hand but not puch any button. Can be that it also turns on without toches, im not so sure.
The effect is hardly reproducable though, by handling the phone rougher just to see if the display turns on. Not sure.
Im a little stumped by this problem, since it didnt changed by flashing another rom. Im a little afraid that it could be a hardware problem... Hope not.
Do you have any advice for me what to try or in what direction to look for a solution?
Thanks!
Quick Glance on for some reason? LOL!

What even is Quick Glance? I use a Note 7 rom, by the way... Just truned off smart stay. It will take time to see if it solved the problem.
I think this problem is related to the apps that can appear on top like pie control, drup or any other 3rd party apps. So try to disable them one by and see which app is causing this problem. Cheers
