Why Other Phones have more light ? - Samsung Galaxy W I8150

Hello, guys, so during my use to another galaxy (Galaxy S plus) i saw that he has more light and its more colourfull than our phone at 100% brightness , and saw this light with new phones to (like , S3 MINI, S3 , S4 etc) !!
Is that possible that our phone is so bad at light, or just any sensor at my phone does not work ?
OK im talking about light sensor, does this phone have one ?

It has got no light sensor. I suppose you know that all the other phones you mentioned are using AMOLED displays, right? Ancora is using a TFT display (and a pretty good one, in my opinion). About the brightness, I don't think I ever had any problem with that. So, unless you want extremely good visibility in direct sunlight conditions, I believe you will have no problem with Ancora's display brightness. As for the color reproduction, AMOLED displays are known for over saturating them. Some love it, some hate it. It's a matter of taste really. Personally I like it.
Also, this kind of questions might have been better asked in the Q&A section here in my opinion.

ok thanks, the only problem i have, that this phone is not good at sunlight at even 100% brightness , and i thought that thers a fix about it , but meaby its the firmware problem , what baseband version are u using ? :cyclops:

In direct sunlight conditions, any TFT will fail. That's just the way it is. It's not the phone, it's the display technology behind the LCD panel.
It has no connection to the firmware, the ROM or the baseband. XXLM8 is the baseband I use but again, that has absolutely nothing to do with the display being able to withstand direct sunlight better than an AMOLED one.

You're welcome. If that low contrast in direct sunlight conditions bothers you so much, yeah, I think you will need a phone with an AMOLED display for better results.

I compared my present S3mini with my prevoius SGW. The S3mini is having an AMOLED display as you already know. Those displays are having a warmwhite color, so the white is more yellowish compared to the SGW. The SGW was brighter than the S3mini when set the brightness to max. and it was better seen in sunlight. Plus the coldwhite produced by the LCD in the SGW is letting pics to appear more natural.
Oh and just by the way. Both to not have a light sensor and I´m not missing it. Neither missed it in the SGW nor in the S3mini.
So all in all the LCD display build in the SGW is really good and doesn´t have to hide behind a AMOLED display. There are even some advantages in using LCD´s over AMOLED´s. Of course an AMOLED has more saturated colors compared to an LCD but there is also an other side of the medal.
AMOLEDs are matureing faster. LED´s (used for the backlicht in LCDs) are getting mature too and loosing their brightness, but for AMOLEDs this is going to happen much faster. This has two reasons. One is because the pixels are organic and secound because of it´s size. A backlight LED has a much bigger size compared to a pixel in an AMOLED display. Because there each pixel is a single O(rganic)LED.
So let´s say after 10 years your LCD will only have 80% of the brightness it had at the beginning an AMOLED can be at 60% or even worse.
Last but not least. The very first OLED displays matured that fast you hardly could see something on them after 1/2 year of usage. (Had a MP3 Player with such a display)

[Q] Screen Banding and Notification LED ##With solution to notification issue##

I got my Galaxy Nexus yesterday and I love it. There's just a couple of things bugging me and wanted to see if anyone else was having the same problems and of course if anyone knew of any solutions.
1- Screen. The resolution is fantastic but i've noticed some banding in flat colours. It's most noticeable in light and mid greys. There is a strip that runs up the middle of the screen that is noticeably lighter that the rest of the display. This goes away on high screen brightness but is really quite hard to ignore at other times.
2- Notification LED. Why is there no native support for customising this in ICS!? Either I've missed it or Google have missed a trick. I got it working with an app from the market but it only worked while the apple was running in the background, if I dismissed the apple from the new task switcher... No more custom notification lights.
Anybody else having these issues?

Notications solution.

To get the most out of your multicoloured LED you can use the Lightflow app which is available free from the market, to get this working properly on the Galaxy Nexus enable "Run in Foreground" in the general settings menu.
Thanks to jabok for spotting this setting.

Sorry to bump but I'd really like the opinion of a few other Galaxy Nexus owners, especially about the screen.
I love this phone but I am considering taking it back because of the banding on the screen, it's not noticeable until there is a flat grey in an app and then it's quite visible as a lighter band up the centre of the screen.
Is this a fault or is it to be expected on sAMOLED screens? I've only had LCD before.
Does it look anything like this or something different? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1320942
Either way there are issues with SAMOLED+ screens, there are people with the Galaxy S II and Droid Razr with screen issues too.
as far as I know, it is a common trait with Super AMOLED screens - had the same issue with my Nexus S, and with my friend's phones that have Super AMOLED screens.
The banding disappears if you have the screen at a higher brightness, so it does seem to be an issue inherent with changing the brightness/colour temp of the screen.
Also, AMOLED screens are susceptible to screen burn, which is why if you leave the screen on some white text on a black background, if you then switch to a screen with mostly grey elements you'll see a ghosted image of that text.

Seeing similar on my screen but it's not really noticeable unless the phone is on auto brightness or the lowest manual setting.
From reading other threads, sounds like the GSII has a similar problem. Looks like some people have been through a few phones before getting a "band free" unit.
You could try taking it back to a (willing) store for a swap - given the current stock levels you may have a few issues though and you may not get a unit without the banding anyway.
In terms of notification LED, wait a bit for some better third party apps to arrive. Not many (existing) phones use RGB coloured LED's or similar for notifications (Nexus One and Galaxy Nexus are the only two that quickly spring to mind) so it's possible Google didn't add support because of the limited use. ICS is in it's infancy and there's a lot of development to come (both from Google and third party dev's).
Thanks for your responses!
In some ways it's good to know it's a know issue, and in others it's a bit disappointing.
I've attached an image for you to look at, you think it's worth sending back?
No.

Personally, I'd just live with it - especially given that there's no guarantee you'd get a better model if you swapped it - hell you could end up with a worse screen!
I'm not sure it would be worth the hassle to send it back. This seems to be an issue to some degree in most SAMOLED screens. You might end up with a worse phone.
I seem to recall that many phone screens have artifacts at very low brightness settings.
This is exactly the same problem as I have. On low brightness it is visible but not on normal brightness.
I did have another nexus on order that I was going to compare it with but I decided to get an N9 instead as I don't need 2 nexus phones! I figure I can go try android beam in a phone shop lol
The question about sending it back is a tricky one - it's not visible With normal brightness so how can we be sure the replacement won't have the same problem? We can't.
yep. i have a vague banding when i look very closely.
solution ? keep my eyes more than 3 inches from the screen.
I hate it when people point out things that you have to look very hard at cos you then notice them forever more
can you confirm that with normal brigthness the problem is solved on every screen?
for the LED customisation get Light Flow from the market, works great for setting different colours for all sorts of things.

i just picked a random setting to prove/disprove the brightness thing. to be honest i REALLY have to look for these bands on auto-brightness .....
just tried 50% (still too bright in my opinion) and i still cant see banding. nor about 40%.
switched back to auto (which must be only about 20%) and they are there is i get really close and squint.
Seriously .... wouldnt let them worry you !

thank you.
I have just completed a 3hr car trip using Google navigation and noticed the banding on auto resolution with it disappearing on bright vivid colours or dark/blacks. Thinking of asking phones4u to check out others for a possible swap.
When the phone was on charge i didn't notice any status light or none flashing when a txt was received. Should there be?

Is the galaxy nexus screen artificially limited in brightness?

GSMArena did a display test on the galaxy S3 and it is much brighter at full brightness. Galaxy note is also much brighter so why is it that the nexus has such a dim HD SAMOLED screen?? Is it software based so people dont end up with terrible battery time??
I so so wish the nexus can have brighter screen, my biggest complaint with the phone.

Probably better for Q &A, but AOSP and vanilla Google Android has always been overly aggressive about auto brightness and keeps it quite dim more often than not. It can, and is modified by OEMs and some custom roms.
I'm not sure my screen is as dim as what other owners claim theirs to be. I have it on auto-brightness and I don't have an issue with bright outdoors or indoor. I'm not sure I'd like it to be any brighter than it already is.
Maybe I'm not used to having my screen burn a hole in my cornea.

I am talking about full manual brightness, auto brightness is never perfect on any phone but it actually isnt dim at all on my nexus S.
Dunno. I am not about to go run to Best Buy and compare, but full on brightness on my phone is uncomfortably bright in the dark and dimly lit areas, and very visible in direct sunlight.

I tried the phone at a very brightly lit shop. Put the brightness to maximum manually and yet it was barely brighter than my nexus S at 50% brightness.
Brightness isnt a contest where every phone should try to beat others but it should be sufficient enough. I just think the nexus brightness isnt sufficient, it tops out at 200 nits when the minimum should be 300 nits for comfortable use in all environments.

Do you want a discussion, or do you want to discount what I am saying just to argue?
Don't ask for an opinion if you are just looking for a way to discount it.
Your sites cannot vouch for my experience.
If your phone can only match 50% of what the Nexus S can in brightness, there is something wrong with it. That or you are exaggerating. This is in my opinion, but I think it is a very valid point.
The screen seems to be limited in brightness from the factory, as a matter of settings. Using AOKP Rom and increasing the color multipliers makes the screen much, much brighter, but i've read speculation that it could cause the screen to burn-in images much faster, which logically speaking, seems to make sense. Maybe it's limited by Samsung for that reason. This particular panel seems slightly more prone to image retention than the one on my Droid Charge, granted it isn't the same as burn-in, but maybe an indicator of inclination toward it...
The GSIII probably gets 2 mins of battery life. A screen that bright on 4 Cortex A9's and 4 mali 400's at 32nm....the battery is going to SUCK.

I was not asking for opinions if the screen is dim or not but why is it. It wasnt my phone but a demo model at the shop. My experience showed me it was dim just like I had read in reviews.
I have an LCD nexus S, I am sure the AMOLED one at 50% wont be almost as bright as gnexus at 100. You know LCD's can get much brighter and the one on nexus S is particularly really bright.
I also compared galaxy nexus side by side with galaxy S2 and the difference was noticeable in brightness.

The GS3 is only 300 nits bright, it isnt anything out of the ordinary. The one X has 500 nits screen.
And nobody is forced to keep the screen on high brightness, it's just an option to have a really bright screen and a pretty good one at that.

I thought of it when you mentioned the GS2 - I had that phone for a week when it was released on Sprint, and any time the screen brightness was turned up and the screen was on for a few minutes, it would overheat and the OS forced it to low brightness until it cooled. At the time it was an issue quite a few people seemed to be having, so maybe it's limited on the Nexus for temp reasons too. As Smokeey had mentioned, battery life could be a factor as well.

Why cant I post if I dont have the device? I am thinking about upgrade from nexus S and I just made some threads about the potential issues I discovered about the device.
As long as you can see the screen who cares how bright it is. Are you trying to light up a room with it? Also, keep your phone on full brightness and you will be highly risking screen burn in so I would not recommend keeping it on full anyway even if it is not as bright as other devices.
Why would anyone purchase a phone or not purchase a phone based on it being the brightest screen out there. I can understand if you couldn't see the screen, but really? And now with the ability to change the colors and gamma of the screen, it just looks great.
So if you get the Nexus and keep the screen turned all the way up because you needed to light up your house to save money on electricity, please don't start a thread complaining about burn in.

Ah keep LCD phone on full brightness and deal with the terrible blacks. Keep an AMOLED phone on full brightness and deal with burn-in. A perfect world we do not live in.
On a serious note screen brightness matters most when going out in the sun obviously. It can never be too bright when you are out.

Huawei Mate 20 Screen Bleed

I am planing to buy the mate 20, the regular one, and was wondering if it has any issues like the pro version. I read that it doesnt have the green hue around the screen, but it does have some white bleed (usually at the bottom of the screen). If you own one please report if you have or dont have any screen issues. Thanks.
well it has the lower edge bleeding symptom but it is very mild and not noticeable like pocophone .. i remind you this is normal with ips panels .. it needs a pixel peeping eye to notice the bleeding
anything else you want to ask about ?!
Mine has light breed at the bottom, left, and, right (more at the bottom). I can see it quite obviously when on grey/ brown backgound but it doesnt bother me much.

i noticed that too but it is not noticable at all and considered a very minor issue that do not require you sending the phone back
ppl must appreciate something here quality control is becoming not acceptable those days when it comes to display screens .. all amoled screens exhibit an obvious color tint when looking at the phone or just angling it .. so think before you send it back .. you might get a worse phone .. you might not find another phone model with a better screen
i noticed the bleeding lower edge but it is better than most phones .. i noticed the all over yellowish tint of screen when colors set to normal but when i changed it to vivid cool whites are good and acceptable .. the lower yellowish tint is there also but it is minimal and considered a normal variance when dealing with screens .. the screen has a tendency to oversaturate red color and when you put phone into landscape videos contrast and colors increased abnormally but there may be a software fix for that soon
so you must know what are you dealing with and what to expect
also the mobile overheats when playing pubg on max for more than 15 minutes but i think thats quite normal when you pack the strongest processer and battery of that size in one phone
Thank God I don't have it.
The phone otherwise has a wonderful battery, easily last 7 hours sot during 19 to 24 hours charging cycle, very fast and stable l, camera is really good buttttt.... Emui is still crippled and stupid !!! For example comparing it to one UI beta I have on my note 9, HUGE DIFFERENCE in user experience animation and usefull features
I have a Mate 20 since one month and no problem with the mobile, the screen or anything else.
Actually it's normal for all IPS Panels and believe me you'll never notice anything not unless you will look for it. It's visible only in certain angles.
No problems here, anything good

Does S3 neo really has an OLED screen?

I don't remember how it was on original KitKat 4.4 version but neither my last rom (CyanogenMod 12.1 android 5.1) nor the one I installed yesterday (LineageOS 17.1, android 10 which works pretty great) seem to have the ability to turn the black pixels off.
No matter how black the picture is, there is always some light being emitted. Although to much smaller extent than an LCD display. Could this be an software issue or is the hardware just not capable of doing it? It's OLED, isn't that what it's supposed to do? Have any of you guys experienced the pixel off thing?
I noticed the same while flashing ROMs on that thing in the dark. When it reboots you can notice some sort of backlight turn off and when it starts booting that little bit of backlight turns on again. It isn't noticeable at all in daylight. Not sure but my opinion is that it is indeed an AMOLED and the technology is just old for its age and doesn't compare with newer flagships.

But that's the thing, OLED literally is a technology where there's no backlight like LCD. All pixels light up individually. So there's no reason for whole screen to light up when there are some pixels who are supposed to be pure black.
I still think it could just be the software that's stopping screen from displaying fully black colours, but I am not exactly sure either. Maybe someone knowledgeable in this field could clear it up.
It's definitely OLED, the original ROM did not turn off the pixels correctly, but I'm using LOS 16 stable and it does turn off pixels. Also, since the phone is getting old I'm starting to see burn-in in the notification bar, so that definitely confirms it's OLED, just not as good as today's screens.

Interesting, but are you absolutely sure about that? Can you got into a dark room and trying watching a pitch black image in full screen? You can then lock the screen to notice any difference. Because in my experience it doesn't turn completely off.
And I've experienced absolutely no burn in, although that could be due to me not using phone that much but it's still strange.

Yep, just did it to confirm, it's actually black.
Here's a video of it, unfortunately I had to convert to a lower bitrate as you'd be able to see the burn-in on the top where the status bar goes and blacks would be a bit black but trust me, it's absolutely off and it's OLED.

Question Low brightness (not dimming) on F3 ?

Hi to all.
I've received my F3 today. I'm so happy.
The only flaw I've seen on it is about its brightness : it seems to be a bit low and we must push it quite almost 100 % to have decent brightness. To those who have received the phone : did you notice that ? I'm not talking about dimming but regular brightness for regular use (not heavy use)
Thanks for your answers
I'm yet to able to order mine .
However, listening to reviewers the brightness curve apparently wasn't very even. Might be able to be fixed in a custom ROM
Yeah maybe.
I can not confirm. In very bright surroundings, like outside when the sun is shining, it gets very bright. I have nothing to complain about.
I don't have any complaints either, the maximum brightness is excellent. Compared it to my brother's OnePlus 6T and the F3 is for sure brighter.
Same as OP.
I got my F3 this morning and the brightness is the same as my old MI 9 SE. It should be not
I think it's a software issue.
Paradoxically display seems to be brighter as few hours ago. What are your settings ?
brightness seems fine to me,but unfortunatly it doesnt get as bright as a oneplus 8 indoor on max brighntess, but in the sun(max peak), the display of the poco is a bit brighter, so i am satisfied with the results.
yep my old s8+ has more brightness than this xiaomie noodles phone so sad i am disappoint with my purchase
Seems like a lot of people here like to have their brightness set to retina burn mode.
I haven't used a OLED display phone yet but I'm pretty sure it'll be brighter than an IPS one at 450 nits max, even then I only have the brightness set to about 75%.
No way to measure or really compare it to other recent OLED screens, but it gets bright enough for a sunny day outside here in the Netherlands. More sun to come hopefully... Also it seems to pump up the contrast a bit when in direct sunlight which is helpfull.
So no complaints here for outdoor readability.
Yea it's brightness is less than my oneplus 7t pro but it's Amoled is way better than my old phone when I watch YouTube video.

I don't think so but I feel the brightness is way less than oneplus 7t pro which also Amoled if not mistaken but the youtube video I watch pco f3 wins hands down.
Hi all,
I have just experienced a brightness problem,
It went very low on its own while not being in auto mode,
It even affected the brightness while the phone was off and charging, which scared me a bit lol,
I was about to seriously consider a factory reset and the brightness came back to its original levels,
The "brightness bar" was still at max during the issue,
And i think it is because i've stayed for too long under the hard sun , playing videos for one hour or two and it happened while i was reading an article on Chrome.
Gud day!
