[Q] Color Control for Note 2? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I would like to know if it will be possible to implement Color Control (as used in many Galaxy Nexus custom kernels) in custom kernel for Galaxy Note 2?
Here's a link (it worked wonders on my old Galaxy Nexus!):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1521195
My Note 2 has a heavy green/yellowish tinted screen. The problem is much more pronounced than on my old Galaxy S3, which actually was quite bad, too...
Otherwise I have to return my Galaxy Note 2

This is a comparison between my calibrated LCD and my Note 2:

I would LOVE to see something like this ported to the GN2!

I got my replacement today. Still the same problem (at leaster better build quality). I've compared mine to other Galaxy Note 2, every single device I have seen had the same issue. So I guess there are many GN2 with that issue out there.

This is a screen shot from my note 2. Is there something I'm not seeing? What's the problem?

Mine doesn't actually appear to have any tint to it, but one of my hobbies if photography so I'm picky about colours

Do you have power saving mode on? There is a screen setting in the power save menu that tints the browser. Also try to use the "dynamic" screen setting instead of natural or the others. That fixed my tint.

One thing you are not seeing is that a screenshot can never represent a displays color reproduction. As you are eliminating the actual display and only looking at the image as it was rendered in the software. All screenshots from all devices will appear the same, however photos of the actual rendered image on screen will show variations. Using a calibrated display as a reference is the only way to have a solid comparison, just like the OP did. If you want to contribute, do the same.

Can you attach the image? Does it look too yellow on the phone's screen or on a computer screen, or both?
mmm i see let chek
Looks normal to me on a calibrated monitor. Whites are white in the second image; in the first image, the White Balance just might be off a little. And it's out of focus.
to yellow the pics or not ?
i think my camera it's bad

Youre not alone. I have the same yellowish tint on mine. Happens in low light/ indoors only

Yeah the zero shutter lag is pretty useless as it misses focus most of the time.

Sure its not the flash causing it? Most of my pictures look fine and I have beige carpet.

does the GN have white balance categories like cm7?
like auto, incandescent, daylight etc?
I agree with the person who posted earlier - is does seem to be something that only affects it indoors. It does come with different "scenes," but I haven't experimented with that yet.

lmao. dude. there seems to be a bit of yellow in your house. it called ambient light or reflections. everything seems to be normal. should definitely check the pictures on a better screen and not on the nexus to verify. people with blue ceilings, wal: and carpets can get a bluish effect or whatever is your situation.
Yeah, it's just an incorrect Auto White Balance. Just change the White Balance in settings. There's nothing faulty here.
User error.
Discuss.
I don't think its user error. My sgs2 doesnt have this yellow effect when set on auto.

Question about notification light area

The google play store sent me another galaxy nexus. I have seen the phone in person at two verizon stores and i have seen the original nexus the google play store sent me. With this new one i have you can see where the notification light bulb is, the circle and bulb while it's turned off and not in use. All the other ones i have seen it is invisible and you can't see it at all. has anyone else seen a phone like this?
this is what the new one looks like

Ditto on my Sprint Galaxy Nexus. I can't even see it looking for it.
I have to look really close with a flashlight to see mine. But it's very hard to see even with the flashlight.
another defect i suppose
I can see it on my Galaxy nexus but is slightly bur I can't capture with my 4S camera it looks like yours could be defected or something. Does it work tho? I and if does does it bother you?

I realize its different but if it works fine then is it really a "defect"?

I guess what is odd that its different in the first place, if you have a 100 of something and there all the same and that 101 is off it sorta makes you think why?
My first device has banding issues that aren't great at all, but i'm keeping it. I have seen worse in other threads. I have sent pics of all the problems i have had to google, this way maybe they can check out whats going on with qc over at sammy. I think the problem may be these devices are made in china and the international devices i think are made in Korea. but then again alot of people are having problems no matter which they have!
One thing i will say is googles cs has been great they are very nice and seem willing to help! i don't blame google i blame sammy! sigh but life goes on, there bigger things in life its just a cellphone!!
BTW, thanks everybody for the replies!!

Considering the current obsession with increasing screen sizes, this hits the nail on the head. The GS3 is already flirting with being too large. Anything bigger is really overkill. I have a tablet for my big screen needs.

Oh, I like GS3's size as well. However, I'm not interested in anything larger. I really hope that the rumor of the Galaxy S4 having a 5 inch display is not true. That would be crossing over into the Note/Note 2 territory, and there's a reason why I didn't get the Note. Of course, this is still pure speculation, and I really don't think that Samsung will release the next Galaxy S phone less than a year after its predecessor.
Size is personal choise. I only have an S3 as a get-by until the Note II is available (sold my Note while it was still worth something). I can't wait for the bigger screen. I understand not everyone wants it too.
I tried playing Asphalt 7 on the GS3 and it was just WAY too small, I could never play a fast paced game on this screen. That said I still love my S3 :good:
Screen sizes are perfect right now. 5 Inch might be a bit over-kill. I love the SGS3's screen size. I think they should work on colors and contrast ratio's, as well as low brightness mode.

Yes! Less size for the galaxies and focus on display quality, build quality and battery life.

GS3 screen burn-in

I've had my GS3 for about a year now and I'm seeing some unfortunate burn-in on the lower row of icons (the ones that don't move from screen-to-screen), and the main clock/weather widget, particularly when the screen is all white (as in bringing up a web page in my browser).
I was very surprised to see this, especially since I do NOT leave the screen on just at the home menu screen, my timeout is set to 1 min, but I'll hit the button to kill the screen most times.
I was under the impression that the newer screens, like on the GS3 and other phones were not supposed to even get burn-in like this? How many others are seeing this?
I've had burn in on mine for a while. The top status bar is burned in a little and a Reddit icon from the Reddit Is Fun app. Not too easy too see unless you go to a bright screen and look for it, but it's there. It's been like that for about 6 months and I got the phone last September.
Wife had the same issue, Sprint replaced the screen under insurance. Didn't have to ship it off or pay anything.

Crazy didn't even know that was still an issue with today's display tech. I have yet to see it happen on any of my Samsung phones.

Use my phone multiple hours a day for over a year and havent noticed any burn in
I've got a little bit of burn in. In the right light and a white background you can just make out Poweramp controls.

burn in is an issue with all amoled screens...
I got the s3 sph-l710
is there any app or any solution to minor burn in other than replacing the lcd?
I had it on my S2 but not on the S3.

Well what about this app called "burn in tool"? I'm reading good user reviews about it... Is it just a placebo effect?

Anyone find the camera lacking sharpness compared to the s4 in low light or with flas

I love my s4 camera and thought moving to note 3 would give me the same experience but it's not. It seems in low light or at night when I use flash the pictures are not as sharp. On my s4 I can see good details when I zoom in like being able to read small texts or pattern on a fabric.

I dont have an s4 to compare to but I agree that the photos are not coming in that sharp... I wonder if we have defective devices? my note 2 takes better shots.
It's been noted in reviews.

Just noticed it mentioned on some reviews. I think the problem is so minor to samsung that they won't bother doing anything about it.

It seems that most models are missing a night mode. I can't find it anywhere on the T-Mobile one, so I assume that it's missing on here too. That would likely help quite a bit.

Samsung removed the separate toggle for it on the note 3 and implemented it into the "auto stabilization". But that doesn't help my issue unfortunately.

Here's a sample. You can see that on the note 3 it can't pick up the surface details on the plastic bezel compared to the s4. This is a zoomed in portion of the actual image.
