[Q] Screen apps and battery life - Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Coming from the LG G2, I really liked the color saturation in some games that I play. I've noticed that with the Z1c these color appear washed out. [I've already adjust white balance]. Just by luck I was able to reproduce that effect by applying the app "Screen Filter" at 48% and then increasing my brightness. The overall brightness is unchanged but for some reason the color saturation is so much better. My question is how do you think this impacts battery life?
I currently have tasker set up to apply these setting when I play the games.
Thanks!

[Q] Screen color correction in CM10?

I'm thinking of getting the SGSIII now that it's out in black. I had the white version earlier in the year but returned it as I wanted to wait for black
I keep looking on the internet to see and find out if the latest version of Cyanogenmod includes settings to calibrate the screen but haven't really found any evidence to support or confirm this. I know there is sometimes confusion when using the word "calibration" when it comes to android, as users want to calibrate the accuracy of the touch sensors more so than the display.
In iOS, there's a fantastic tweak in Cydia called "Color Profiles" which allows the user to calibrate the colour of the display (system-wide, that includes gaming, video, apps etc). You get white balance, gamma, temperature and black level control
Is there any such option in Cyanogen mod; now or in the future? It would be great to have full access to RGB controls to calibrate an OLED screen

[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.

Thanks you for info.

What display color settings are you using?

As topic says, what color settings are you using? Any of the preset profiles or your own expert settings? I have been playing around with the settings in the expert mode, but can't really find anything that looks better than the auto setting.
If you are using your custom expert settings, please post a screenshot of it here.
According to some reviews I've read, Expert with the warmth cranked all the way up was the "most accurate". I didn't really like how this looked as it just made the display look more red, not necessarily "warmer". I settled on Expert with the Red and Blue sliders dialed back one notch. I also cranked up the saturation one step and dialed back the sharpness slightly. This resulted in a bit of a warmer and sharper image that I'm content with but I really miss KCAL.
EDIT: Anandtech just released their review of this phone. They recommend that you use the "Expert" Color settings and turn the blue slider all the way down. It looks better but the display is still way too blue.
I use Expert.
Color Temperature is at 50%.
Red is at 100%.
Green is at 100%.
Blue is at 50%.
Saturation is at 100%
Hue is at 50%.
Sharpness is at 50%.
Color Filter is set to off.
I use Expert. Im searching a better black
Color Temperature is at 100%.
Red is at 0%.
Green is at 100%.
Blue is at 0%.
Saturation is at 100%
Hue is at 75%.
Sharpness is at 75%.
Color Filter is set to off.
try it!
Using expert
Saturation 50%
Hue 25%
Sharpness 0
Color temperature 75%
Red 50%
Green 75%
Blue 25%
This is what looks best to my eyes after time spent fiddling with it.
Auto with Comfort View "always on".
Now that and if I switch off comfort view or look at other phones I can clearly figure out the "blueness". The comfort view on the G7 is an excellent setting and something users should use of a couple of hours and feel the difference.
What makes color filer

[Q] Color temperature

What's your lcd display?
1) dial *#*#64663#*#*
2) Version Information
3) Check under "TP:"
Mine is EBBG
Also, is there a way to adjust color temperature? I wish we had the color temperature settings for warm or cool displays
EBBG, too.
I like having on the night light mode all the time. I don't like the blue color all phones have.
Same here and I also think it's a little bit cold. But having night mode on all the time? Way too warm for me....
I had this also and my colors here is somehow slightly warm compared to my xperia z lcd

You can set the intensity. It's better for your eyes (or that's what they say). And you get used to it in a few hours But it's personal preference.

How to set intensity?
Just go to settings/display/night light. There is a slider there.
I also placed a shortcut in the quick tiles so I can turn it off if I want to and get to the slider.
If you get root and Kernel Adiutor, (maybe necessary to flash new kernel), you can set through kernel native RGB, saturation options, etc. It's called KCAL color calibration. There are posts at xda with even different profiles (think like 'how to turn lcd into amoled'). I don't have the A2, but since reviews complain about blue tint and lack of display calibration as in MIUI I thought this could be the solution for AO.
I also complain from this ****, I compred color temperature to my friend's phone (with miui)
And I found a huge difference in color temperature!!

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.
