[Q] Color Saturation

Just switched from a very problematic MT4G (went through 5 of them) to the G2, and so far I'm very happy with the switch. However, I noticed that a lot of my images (photos & wallpaper) seem to have a slightly yellow/green tint to them. Is there any way to change the color saturation on this phone, and has anyone else experienced this as well?
Thanks.

I've noticed my device's screen has a bit "warmer" color temperature than would seem to be preferred by most users. My previous unit from T-Mobile was not like this at all, and noticeably "cooler"/more blue.
Dunno what to tell you.

Cynageon Mod has render effects to calabrate the screen

ah yes im not the only one who has noticed this, this is my second g2 as to the first i had bad pixels nd exchanged it, i had hd2 and i notice that the hd2 has a more vivid color and g2 has a more calm and warmer colors

can you please tell where are these settings?

With this app there is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745248
Use Root Explorer to place it in /system/app, change permissions to 644 (rw-r--r--), and reboot.
Not sure if it works with the latest CM7 nightly, but I tried it a couple weeks back with whatever CM7 nightly and it worked fine. Unless you have a baseline though, it's hard to know what to adjust it to.
I have a calibrated monitor and if I hold the phone next to it with the same photo on each, the G2 screen looks just a bit cool with the default CM render effect (no render effect). The calibrated N1 setting is too warm, so it's somewhere in between them.
I was going to mess with it further, but I'm ok with my screen as is.

PM me the exact issue and i'll have the poll edited.
thanks

added more to the list...

I do not have any of the issues in the poll but do have the following:
When I leave an app back to the home screen, the home screen shows 'loading' for 5-10 seconds before I can use the device.
Popping and stuttering in audio playback when using tune-in radio with beats enabled.
Periodically the phone seems to 'kill all' applications (except the one with current focus) including wallpaper, streaming music (last. Fm or tune in).

Some icons for games that I've added to a games folder disappear and I cant re add them because they dont show up in the menu when I hit the 'add' button. I can see the apps when I go into the Apps Drawer though.

another bug: the text is misaligned at the top left label in clock application when you change settings>display & gestures>font size>small
and the music stuttering sometimes when beats is enabled
and the previews on basically all pictures taken with stock camera app are corrupted, like the bottom portion of the picture thumbnail, however the picture itself is fine. when viewing the picture on a pc the thumbnail is still corrupted, picture still fine.

The "Screen lock and screen off" problem, is that hardware or software related?

Software, if it was hardware then the button wouldn't perform correctly. The button does perform correctly it's just the software appears to think its been pressed twice.

realised the camera's touch focus doesnt work well. hit and miss, especially with macro shots (even with macro mode).
Experienced camera screen flickering today several times and i had to close before i could take a shot. Wonder if it was due to the low battery state while i was taking pictures (<30% left)

That indicates that Sense crashed, and is restarting. It should be added to the poll.

could be related to the first issue on the poll, check if you have any htc agenda widget on any homescreen.

Geez that's a lot of bugs for a flagship device.

Display Brightness App

I posted this before when all the SGS3 variants were under one forum. Now that they're locked, I just wanted to post this here as I know a lot of people liked the app. I use it everyday.
One thing I definitely miss on SGS3 coming from SGS1 and SGS2 was the ability to change the brightness setting from from the top of the notification bar. You were able to slide your finger left to right and be able to change the screen brightness.
Display brightness can do something similar and thought I'd share as I am sure a few of you might also miss the old feature. You can set a screen brightness slider anywhere on the screen and change its transparency. It works a treat to be able to change brightness quickly and efficiently. I set mine to be on the left side of the screen horizontally, and set transparency to 0 so it cannot be seen. Then when I need to change brightness quickly, I just slide the bar up or down. There are quite a few options and different sizes you can choose. Also, you can set it so that there is a one second delay. This helps to avoid touching the bar by accident and changing brightness on you.
Here is the link on Google Play if you want to check it out

Anyone getting error when trying to install?
Specifically "Error processing purchase..."
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium

Have it installed and really like it.
One problem I'm having is that I set it to Enable the Indicator on my screen, and it periodically turns off. A bit frustrating. But other than that, it's great.

I get the error trying to install apps every time I flash cm10 and then go back to stock. If that's the case youd notice it trying to install other apps on the market. Either case it's a market problem or the rom you're on. I normally fix by clearing market data as well as google framework data too. Then reboot and I can install apps again. It doesn't sound like an app problem though
Also the indicator shutting off I have not seen before. That could be a result of task manager app or something shutting it off somehow

I thought about that. If so, it is the system manager, because I do not run task managers.
I do have System Tuner...have nothing set in it's killer. I did set this app as excluded (which my understanding is that excludes apps from availability to kill). I think maybe it did help, but did not cure the issue.

Ultimatum rom lets you change brightness from the top. However the min brightness doesn't go low enough on this phone. Too bright in dark rooms

I use another app called screen filter for the darkness issue. Check it out! You can then make the screen MUCH darker depending on preference. I agree, the screen does not go low enough on this phone especially at night when in a dark environment.

I swear by this app. Greatest thing ever for texting at night or even (Yes I know, shame on me) in the movie theater.

Is this the new settings when setting a wallpaper? Please check out the screenshots.

I have recently noticed that interface when setting a new wallpaper has changed from before. I first thought that maybe it is part of the 2.17.401.2 update but then I clearly remember that the change in the wallpaper settings interface has only occurred weeks after I flashed the latest RUU. Anyway, please compare the pics I have attached to what you see on your One X's. Notice that when the phone prompts me too resize my image, the screen kind of becomes washed out in contrast. And the lines indicating the margins have also changed. I have already tried restarting my phone but it is still the same. I apologize for the low res images as I am currently far from my desktop.

i have that setting since 2.17.401.2.

Text fading in and out when scrolling

I don't know if it's an Android M thing or Nexus 5X issue but anyone notice the scrolling looks "weird?"
Meaning when you scroll through a page in Chrome, the text letters on the page kind of fade out for a sec. Once the scrolling stops, the text fades in.
I've been playing around with it some more and the text definitely fades out when scrolling. It's also unclear.
Only when the scrolling stops do the text fade in and the words became clear.

Do you by chance have magnification gesture enabled in accessibility settings? That will cause weird scrolling

No, it's not on.
I swear I'm not going crazy.
Text will fade out/fuzz out when scrolling. Once the scrolling stops, the text fades in and becomes legible.

Very odd. It does this exact same thing with the zoom/magnification gesture on. Have you tweaked anything and forgot about it in dev options maybe? Any apps that could affect this? Just reaching for straws I am

It's brand new out of the box. I haven't touched any of the settings.
Beginning to wonder if this unit is defective.

Could be. Did you get the ~43MB update and install it? Have you rebooted?

Its more seen if the brightness is low right? Yea. Its because of samsung amoled panel. The downside is .. That. Its because the screen controller latency is too high because it need to power on and power off EVERY SINGLE PIXEL. Lol. K

The Nexus 5X has an LCD panel. Although I do know what you're talking about with some AMOLED panels

It does it on mine as well, but I hadn't noticed until I looked for it, but I see what you mean, it doesn't do it on the older Nexus 5, but the scrolling seems smoother on the 5X almost as if it is a deliberate thing they have done to help our eyes follow rapidly moving text, but it may just be the way they have decided to drive the panel pixels.
It isn't a fault.

I have the exact same issue.
I noticed that in static mode the font is looking good, but when I start scrolling, the font looks thinner and less clear.
I have this issue in all apps (Facebook, Chrome, Whatsapp etc). It looks a bit cheap.
If this is setting, I'd love to know how to fix this.

hey,
is there a fix for this issue?
thanks

It seems that it is an LCD panel feature. I've also this behavior on my nexus 5x (511, Mint).
I've also can clearly see pixels on a white background
Didn't notice anything like that on a Nexus 5 though.

It's the LCD panel. All LCD panels are lazy. Especially when it's cold. Try to use it below 5 or 0 celsius. This lazyness effect is more visible then. It's winter now. You won't see it as much in summer.

so the question is, if i will replace the device this thing will apear again?

I've seen that happen on LCD screens too. I believe the problem might be FPS(frames per second). You aren't achieving 30 FPS or more when scrolling thus making the screen look blurry/ faded text when scrolling. Most likely cause of this is either the GPU not able to push 30> fps or LCD latency(highly doubt).
Try different websites and report back.(some sites are resource hog and might slow down your phone) ex. try sites that you know doesn't have ton of ads
Try different browser. (some browsers like opera mini are less resource hungry and might improve rendering on screen)
Try other apps as a last resort.
if the blurry text is from LCD then LG made a poor decision on picking a low frequency screen. maybe 60hz (LCD screen refreshes 60 times)

Coming from an M7, this is really annoying, especially when scrolling through Twitter.
