[Q] Power Saving Mode in settings menu? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What does this do exactly? Maybe I am not looking hard enough, but I notice no difference when this is checked/unchecked.

The description makes it sound the same as the "auto-brightness". Good question.

It makes the display ugly and grey. Basically it reduces brightness when it senses a lot of white on the screen to save battery. It probably helps but I found that it made my beautiful display ugly.
You can absolutely notice a difference if you turn it on and off while looking at an all white screen.

[Q] can I see things on screen clearily in daylight?

ppcs like 696 have no differences in birhgt places no matter the backlight is on or off ,meaning we can save a lot of power during daytime by turn off the backlight.I have a program which can turn off the backlight.It's vital for its pure battery using time.There is another type of screen.if the backlight is off.you can see slightly changes on your screen.I'm planning weather to buy one or not by the screen type.thanks for anyone reply this.I'll update the program.
BOught.not light half reflection screen.over
I used to have an excellent screen on my Psion Revo. It had no backlight. It had a highly reflective backpanel, and I could see it in almost any light. However I always wanted a backlit screen so I could use it in the dim. It is a shame, but you cannot have both together. It's either reflective or it has the backlight - which is not reflective!

Another form of banding. Can you replicate?

Set wallpaper to black or go to a pure black screen with no icons on it. Bring up the "recent apps" and clear it out so that the overlay is blank. I notice heavy banding when the app is brought up over a pure black screen. Anyone else notice this?
it's hard to notice in a lighted room. go into a very dark room and you should see what I am talking about.
I've noticed this on transparencies. Could be a low quality image they used. Google has been known to limit the colors available to specific apps. Gallery and the Browser usually display crappy gradients. Perhaps this is another form of lowering the image quality so it loads faster.
As far as what your talking about, yes I can replicate it. Horizontal "sections" about equal distance apart. Hardly noticeable. I have to turn the lights off to really see it.
As long as the screen looks amazing when I'm using it and not in a dark room at weird brightnesses, I'm happy. This screen is super vibrant and bright. Who cares about a little banding on an almost black transparency that is requires a pitch black room to see.

Dirty screen effect

Hi guys,
i did a search but have found nothing regarding this kind of problem.
My display shows some kind of pattern on plain colors.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16054199/screen.jpg
Its worst on grey and white, (certainly) not seen on a black screen, and its almost not visible on the highest screen brightness. But, its very distracting on everything below and also visible in pictures etc. if looked closely.
I come from a S2 which had not this effect. Is it a faulty screen or a normal effect of the pen tile matrix?
I see the same thing when my screen dims down before it goes to sleep.

Just before it goes into sleep mode? (which afaik is even darker than the darkest setting while it`s awake).
I clearly see it under medium backlight setting, the grey elements of the market are a place where i always see it.
hate to break it to you, but that's just how the screen is(especially when the brightness is turned down & on plain colors). i've had 2 Nexus' and both did the same, even the ones on display in my local verizon store are the same way.
Turn the brightness up and it will go away. It's a quirk of the screen technology.
Allright, so i have to live with that... Thanks for your answers!
Is it possible to edit the levels of the automatic screen brightness?

If you're rooted and have Clockworkmod you can use this:

Just make sure you meet the requirements and follow the directions in the thread. I have used this on a Verizon LTE Galaxy Nexus and didn't have any issues, even though it is in the CDMA form.
I am not the dev of this mod, just passing along the info.
awesome, thanks a lot!
I wonder if there's some kind of deeper hidden meaning to the pattern, some kind of subliminal message jk

[Q] Screen settings

Hi all. I've seen this feature in the first note and now I see it again.
Adjusting tone save the energy saver based on image analysis
Is this option really make a difference?

No 10 posts so sorry for link
I always have it set to off. I had it on but never noticed any difference. My guess is that if you are looking at a very colorful image, prolly the screen will lighten more up or over-saturate the colors to look nicer. Maybe even the brightness who knows.
According to a cnet article:
" There's another adjustment on the Note 2 to that significantly affects picture quality. Samsung applied the cryptic moniker "Auto adjust screen tone" (AAST) to a check box at the bottom of the Display menu. Uncheck it and the phone's full light output capabilities are unshackled, nearly doubling its contrast ratio and improving its ability to compete with ambient light. Turning off AAST also improves color accuracy slightly. "
Seems like changes the colour tone of brighter colours to reduce their brightness.
I keep it on since I like milder screens.
If you prefer low brightness and want to save power , keep it on.
If you find yourself using high brightness often, turn it off.

How to turn off adaptive display? White balance and RGB settings not working?

Does anyone know how to turn off the s20's adaptive display feature? (I'm not asking about adaptive brightness.) I'm on a US snapdragon, unlocked, regular S20. Thanks!
I am referring to:
"Samsung's adaptive super AMOLED screen optimizes the color range, saturation, and sharpness of the picture depending on what you're watching or doing."
https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00063051/
The vivid/natural, white balance, and advanced RGB settings mentioned in that link do NOT seem to impact the adaptive display feature. (And in fact, white balance and RGB settings don't seem to do anything at all... If anyone has thoughts about why THAT is, or how to make them actually have an effect, I'm interested.)
I have tried turning off dark mode completely, turning off the video enhancer, and turning off the dark mode on wallpaper, but the problem persists and impacts things like apps and pages in Chrome - basically everything.
If I look at my task switcher, app screens will often look the way I want them to in the preview, but when I click on one, after about a second the display adjusts and changes the image to something brighter, whiter, and less what I want. This is true whether adaptive brightness is on OR off.
I'm trying to use a screen filter to manually set the screen to the settings I need, and it feels like the screen is fighting the filter and countering it, and I think this business with the adaptive display optimizing color and saturation could be the problem. Or if you have other ideas for the source of the problem, I want to hear them.
Any help is appreciated!

they removed the option to close adaptive display since Note 9 starting from s10 it is always on and can't be disabled

It was something like attached picture on Note 9
Ah hah! I think I figured out a solution to my problem (which was that the whites were too blue and bright and vivid as compared to everything else on the screen, no matter what settings I used on Twilight or another screen filtering app). For anyone who comes after me with a similar issue: the native blue light filter doesn't JUST turn on/off - it has an opacity setting which you can find and adjust by clicking on "blue light filter" in your display settings menu, to the left of the on/off toggle switch. Turning it all the way up (to the right) tones down the whites and blues without impacting the rest of the colors on the screen, which for me at least creates a much better color display ratio.
