i.e. the saturation/sharpness changes when playing something in video player
This is kind of hard to explain but if you play a video and watch the display difference especially noticable in the status bar at the top
What is this and is there any way to use it as the default display setting?

Movie mode, I'd presume. I guess I didn't notice it since I'm always in "Natural" mode, which is pretty close to "Movie" mode in terms of contrast etc.

Coming from galaxy note on JB whenever i switch to landscape mode whether it is in the browser, you tube, music player, there is a CLEAR AND NOTICEABLE drop in fps that decrease smoothness compared to portrait mode. Is the nexus users experiencing this also or is it just a not problem?

I've actually noticed this too but the transparency isn't helping my cause
I believe its because landscape uses more real estate than portrait.

I can't watch any movies... its way too black!!!!!!!! Otherwise the tablet is perfect, but it would be nice to watch a trailer without trying to figure out what is happening.
Surfing the web = 10
Functionality = 10
QPair = 10
However watching videos = 1
Is there a fix or should I just return this tablet for something else?
Uh... just turn the brightness up and turn off auto brightness. Or get MX player and... Turn up the brightness in the app's display settings

Brighter Video Playback
The "Filter Your Screen - Free" app has dramatically improved video playback using the LG Video viewer, BS Player, and MX Player. The settings that work for me are: Alpha 30; Red 200; Green 200 and Blue 220. I also set the Display Brightness in "Settings" to 85% or higher.
After viewing a video, I set the Brightness back to around 50% and turn the Screen Filter off and it seems to save the battery. I can only get about 5 hours of battery life with the brightness set high and the Screen Filter on.
Hope this helps.
I'm the same I tried to watch a movie on YouTube and it was unwatchable think I might be trading this

Install the screen adjuster app and turn the contrast up.I have mine set at -50 and makes a big difference.

Thank you for the tip on this app. I will try it and update my thread to also recommend the app. I'm going to use it for a few days and see if it affects my battery life negatively. With the screen adjuster app running, I can easily go a day or two before having to charge my tablet.
Thanks

I have found Lux auto brightness FREE in Car mode makes dark scenes in movies much much better. No noticeable difference in battery consumption either.

This made it so that movies seemed to drop frames and causing the playback to be a tad jittery. Also the whole UI became slower and the level of microlag increased.
Isn't there a flashable fix for this instead of applying stuff that renders a "fix" in real time and thus causing misc gpu rendering problems?
As of right now no.
Used filter my screen and it works like a charm. I see no playback issues while its on. I used it with MX player.

which one was it
Hi, in my opinion Cinema Amoled mode makes red/orange look weird
Like intense red turns into somethink like grey/red and orange turns into yellow
I was trying to watch The Martian and everithing looks yellow, like the red sand of mars is the prrcise tone of red that changes into yellow (so i had yo use Photo Amoled, but I dont like the white calibration on that mode) Why Samsung made that weird color calibration?
Maybe the perfect mode will be something like Auto before it turns into Cinema, I mean, if you are in a movie and you change between modes, then you activate Auto Mode, you can see few seconds before it turns into Cinema. and I think Auto looks better, is like Photo but with cooler white... Also I like the higher contrast and intense blue and green of the Cinema mode...
There is any easy way to fix? I found this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal.../guide-loadable-mdnie-color-profiles-t2828089
But I dont really know if is what im looking for, also I think that method look risky :silly:
Maybe someone made an installable mod with the colors fixed?
Or maybe there is any way to make Auto Mode permanent without changing when I see a movie? Some king of video player that tablet doesnt recognize as it?
I always leave my display colour set to auto on my T800, it only works with a few Samsung apps, like the stock video player, or stock browser and a few others, it does not work with third-pary video players or apps.
Have you checked you screen is not faulty, like it`s yellowish or greenish instead of being white, try a screen tester app showing a white screen, if your screen is OK
I only ever use the stock Samsung video player on my T800 and i virtually always leave the adaptive display enabled, now and then i find a video that looks better with the adaptive display disabled.

The screen is OK, with adaptative the white is good, with Photo is warm white
Im using MX player, and stock and the screen chage into Cinema with all video apps I tried, including Youtube
I'll try another video apps not so popular and look if the screen doesnt turn into Cinema Mode, but I'd like to fix it and use MX, maybe there is any way to exclude MX player from the "Cinema Mode Apps"?
Edit: Okay, with VLC Player the screen stays in Auto without changing to Cinema, great
Anyway, I'll keep looking to fix the red/orange tone in cinema

I've noticed that my display's brightness automatically increases and gets oversaturated when viewing videos on the youtube and twitch app in fullscreen. When the videos are playing in portrait mode, display is normal but once the video is switched to landscape mode the oversaturation happens and this doesn't disappear even if you switch back to portrait mode...Display reverts back to normal only after exiting the video.
This effect seems to be subtle in lifelike videos but becomes really apparent in gameplay and other animated videos. The twitch streams look so cartoonish that it is impossible to enjoy gameplay streams on my mobile. Fullscreen videos from Chrome browser dont seem to be affected by this.
Is anyone else affected by this? Is there any solution?
This happens to me when any app is in Dark Mode (Gray color) and the phone is facing direct sunlight. The phone boosts up the brightness to max and over saturates colors to compensate the visibility of that Gray color.
I observe this almost daily when using the phone outside.

Thanks... This seems to have solved the issue
I have always had it on, and never had this issue.
whenever a video is played in full screen its colors are over saturated specially in youtube
if you want to try it just open youtube in chrome in desktop mode and watch a video in regular screen then press full screen within seconds the colors will become over saturated
also the color wheel effect is minimal on full screen videos .. I think it is something related to full screen videos and hdr10 screen where colors should stay natural on non hdr videos but instead it pumps the video colors
where can we inform huawei with this bug
don't understand me wrong I don't want to get rid of the over saturated colors for all .. I just want the option to turn it on and off whenever I want
