Well wouldn't ya know it you can't use the g5 with polarized glasses. To be more specific you can't use it in portrait mode but it works fine in landscape mode. This is just the opposite of the v10. Well I guess the g5 is out for me I'll keep waiting to see what come next [emoji19] [emoji20]

I just tried mine out. I can see in either orientation. Portrait has cooler coloring and landscape has hotter. First phone I have been able to read it both orientations while wearing polarized sunglasses.
Sent from my LG-H830 using XDA-Developers mobile app
same, i can read it in either orientation, with some slight discoloration from the polarized lenses.
I tried it and in portrait mode it's almost completely blacked out. I have coppertone lense coatings so milage may vary. Same thing in my v10 in landscape mode it's very hard to see but portrait mode is bright and clear as a bell.

I can read mine in both portrait & landscape with my polarized RX Oakleys.. It does get a bit darker in portrait mode, but its not so bad I cant read it.
I can see mine fine with polarized sunglass

First world problems.
There's a youtube video covering the same subject and based on the comments from both here and youtube I'm going to go with it depends on the type of polarized lenses used. I use Oakley Prizms and they seem to be the one's (Oakley's) who do not experience the 'blackout' issues. I can't speak to the other polarized lenses (Maui Jim, Porsche Design, Ray-Ban, etc.).

It seems that it's very capable of taking excellent pictures, especially in well-lit situations, but is inconsistent... especially if it's low light and the flash has to come out.
That's something I'll like to pick it up. Now, I'm pretty sure ready let go of my DX for RAZR M. My DX couldn't capture more colors on the sky like RAZR M does.

Inconsistent, but decent, pictures.
This is kinda what I was referring to on the inconsistency, especially with the flash.
Pic #1 - if I hadn't blurred it, you could see how the flash completely washes out her face... I have numerous other examples of how the flash does it, extremely bad:
Pic #2 - exact same lighting, flash, etc. (obviously she moved a bit, but still basically in the same spot), and while a tad on the dark side, at least it's not washed out... again, if it wasn't blurred you could see her face very well:
This makes me think that it's a software issue that could be easily tweaked to fix - like it's not adjusting in time for the flash, or over-compensating at times. Just a guess though...
Normal pic of sunset:
HDR pic of sunset, first attempt:
HDR pic of sunset, second attempt - again, just inconsistent - much more like the 'normal' pic above:
But then, in decent daylight, in a moving van pointing backwards, it'll take a shot like this, which comes through crystal clear and pretty accurate:
So who knows...

I'm not sure if this is just my phone or its like this on everyone else's phone.
The screen has a general yellow tint throughout the entire screen when viewed in portrait mode. This generally is ok with me if it's even throughout.. However when I turn the screen clockwise to the landscape mode, and there is a clear white band without any yellow tint approximately a quarter of an inch wide on the left side of the screen. If I reverse the orientation such that I turn the phone 180 degrees to the other landscape mode there is another white band but this time only an eighth of an inch or less.
You can test this out opening up the browser to Google since there is a lot of white in that Web page.
Please let me know if it's just my phone or an issue with the nexus in general. I've also tried different rooms and kernels without any differences.

It's defective. Some color misrepresentation is normal, but white bands are not.
Thanks for the reply, I'm not sure if it's a software issue as the band is not there in portrait mode, and only in landscape. And that also changes from landscape in one orientation as compared to 180 degrees in the other direction.

In my eyes yellow tint is what you want. Blue tint means the display is of poor quality,

Preference. Cooler displays and warmer displays. I prefer cooler.
Problem isn't cooler or warmer display. It the fact that when I turn the screen to landscape there is a section on the left that is pure white without the tint.. And it not there when it's turned back to portrait mode.

You can fix the yellow tint with franco's kernel.

Landscape.
portrait mode almost exclusively.

Landscape, always!
So far depends on what I'm doing with it. Of course it's my first tablet ever as well so I'm still figuring things out.
Landscape for a tablet !
Landscape is harder to type on IMO opinion so if i have to type i usually just swivel it around and back again.

Indeed so. Subtle tips. Cause you'll notice it's in portrait on the original.
Personally, 95% landscape, 5% portrait.
Landscape always except for a couple of stupid apps that don't support it.
I actually find I flip it around a lot, depending on what I'm doing. I don't make sure my home screens always work in both orientations, which can be a challenge at times, but it forces me to get creative.

Though I use my 10.1" tablet exclusively in landscape mode, I fond myself using the Nexus 7 (2013) mostly in portrait mode. Watching video or playing games being the main exception. When I'm in bed sometime I'll hold in in landscape also.
I though I was going to be holding it in landscape like it's bigger brother, but that's not the case.
Portrait, feels like I'm holding a book. Landscape for videos though obviously.

Portrait for the most part. Even on the web.

Portrait 80%
Landscape 20%
I used my 2012 Nexus 7 almost exclusively in portrait, I hated using it landscape. With this one though, I have found myself using landscape more and more. I think the larger bezels help and make it easier for me to reach 100% of the screen if I'm going two hands.
If I am one handing the device though,I generally use portrait. I think a lot of the reason I use landscape is to help differentiate from my portrait phone. I have also been playing a lot of games so I might have adapted so I can rotate less

Portrait most of the time and landscape for videos only. Because I'm not a retard. Lmao.

Why does the screen look brownish when turned off? (Under direct sunlight or lots of light environments). On other phones it looks all black when display is not on.

Sorry I forgot to mention that you can see that during the day when outdoors or under direct light source. If you are in a dark room at night it looks black but if you have it in your car during the day and driving around, it looks brownish when off. I will take my other phone with me and take some pictures to show you.

A little lighter (logically ), but in no way brown, reminds me of the look like my old Galaxy S4
ALL Screens with AMOLED look brownish/dark greenish when off and when looking from an angle.
Totally normal.
Thread can be closed.
I guess we have different eyes then
Never noticed this in a few years while using Samsung Galaxy S (first gen.) and I still don't notice any color change on OP3 no matter how hard I look. Even if I put it side by side with my previous phone with IPS.
Will wait for pictures, now I'm really interested to see that tint.
And will also try taking some pictures of my own to have something for more objective comparison (different color value of pixels).

I've got a similar issue I guess, the right side of my screen shows dark colours lighter than the left side of the screen. The left side looks normal.
It's noticeable when you have dark mode enabled and you pull down the quick settings toggles, but it kinda messes with me sometimes ????

That's sounds like a faulty screen... Same color should look the same everywhere on the screen.

Hi guys! Installed 2.0 few days ago and I can't find an option to turn off screen.
Before the update when I set the watch to charge I did a double tap on the button and it turned the screen off. But now the button launched the apps so I can't find an easy way to turn it off quickly.
Any ideas?

While it's on the watch face, slide from the top. You'll see airplane mode, sounds,, brightness, do not disturb, and setting. Tap brightness, pick the one in the middle between the plus and minus.
place the palm of your hand on the screen. Turns it off.

Well, normally covering the screen with palm turns watch to ambient mode (not theater mode), but I guess you don't have ambient mode in use, so it turns the screen just off?
Ah right. I don't use ambient mode, so it turns my screen off.

As stated above, apparently covering the watch with your palm does enable theater mode if ambient mode is not turned on. If it is, it puts it in ambient mode instead.
