Has anyone else noticed that the photo is fairly bright when you tap the little icon in the Camera app, but then if you tap again and go to Gallery it darkens?
Is it the same as the issue affecting the Galaxy S II's?
Anything we can do about it?
Thanks to any and all for information...
Yep same thing happens here. It's really annoying, everything looks so dull in the gallery app.
bump...
Any thoughts from people more versed in Android/Code than I?
Yes I noticed as well. Looked for a setting in both the camera and the gallery to control brightness, as far as I can tell there isn't one.
Actually it seems to be the screen brightness which is set to maximum when in camera app, and gets back to normal/auto when anywhere else.
A nasty bug, really.

Yeah I have been too thanks. It seems (from other comments and threads) that at least part of the issue is that the Camera app ramps up the brightness for the viewfinder and in the quick view, but the Gallery resorts to the overall system brightness.
I don't know that I buy this though because there are subtle tone and image quality differences. I think brightness is part of it, but something else seems to be going on (jpeg compression maybe?)...

You're right. When I set the screen brightness to max instead of auto, I do not notice any difference when switching from camera preview to gallery.
Not sure if this is a bug or a 'feature' though.

Hmmm I don't notice any tone difference. For me it was the brightness setting.

Agreed I just tried that and it does work better than when I just unchecked auto, shame we can't have the Gallery app scale it up automatically or by default like the Camera. I'd say it was meant to be a battery-saving feature, but I'd rather be able to show off good-looking pics at the times when I wanted to view them.

Outdoor pics are fine (on max brightness), but indoor pics seem to lose a little "warmth" when "darkened" for the gallery, and the "fineness" of the image seems just slightly reduced (more noisy)...
It could be my imagination too though...

Call it a nasty feature, then
I use Llama to automate the brightness. When the camera app or the gallery app is the active application set brightness to 100%. When gallery app and the camera app are not active set the brightness to Auto.
You can obviously add any other apps you might want to have those settings apply to as well.
I would hardly call it a bug. If anything it is smart.
If you are taking a picture in low light, auto brightness is dim, possibly too dim to see any detail. Having the camera at Max brightness ensures you are seeing what the picture will look like, rather than guessing.
Just curious what the scenario settings are for under settings/advanced there are 2 tabs that say either screen or sensors I know what the sensor settings do but I am confused what the other modes do?? I tried to google it but there isn't anything there...
They change how the screen adjusts to pictures. I always change it to navigation, just makes black and dark grey blend better... or was it gallery?

AHhhhhh gotcha thanks man
I don't know if it's an Android M thing or Nexus 5X issue but anyone notice the scrolling looks "weird?"
Meaning when you scroll through a page in Chrome, the text letters on the page kind of fade out for a sec. Once the scrolling stops, the text fades in.
I've been playing around with it some more and the text definitely fades out when scrolling. It's also unclear.
Only when the scrolling stops do the text fade in and the words became clear.
Do you by chance have magnification gesture enabled in accessibility settings? That will cause weird scrolling
No, it's not on.
I swear I'm not going crazy.
Text will fade out/fuzz out when scrolling. Once the scrolling stops, the text fades in and becomes legible.

Very odd. It does this exact same thing with the zoom/magnification gesture on. Have you tweaked anything and forgot about it in dev options maybe? Any apps that could affect this? Just reaching for straws I am
It's brand new out of the box. I haven't touched any of the settings.
Beginning to wonder if this unit is defective.

Could be. Did you get the ~43MB update and install it? Have you rebooted?
Its more seen if the brightness is low right? Yea. Its because of samsung amoled panel. The downside is .. That. Its because the screen controller latency is too high because it need to power on and power off EVERY SINGLE PIXEL. Lol. K

The Nexus 5X has an LCD panel. Although I do know what you're talking about with some AMOLED panels

It does it on mine as well, but I hadn't noticed until I looked for it, but I see what you mean, it doesn't do it on the older Nexus 5, but the scrolling seems smoother on the 5X almost as if it is a deliberate thing they have done to help our eyes follow rapidly moving text, but it may just be the way they have decided to drive the panel pixels.
It isn't a fault.

I have the exact same issue.
I noticed that in static mode the font is looking good, but when I start scrolling, the font looks thinner and less clear.
I have this issue in all apps (Facebook, Chrome, Whatsapp etc). It looks a bit cheap.
If this is setting, I'd love to know how to fix this.
hey,
is there a fix for this issue?
thanks
It seems that it is an LCD panel feature. I've also this behavior on my nexus 5x (511, Mint).
I've also can clearly see pixels on a white background
Didn't notice anything like that on a Nexus 5 though.
It's the LCD panel. All LCD panels are lazy. Especially when it's cold. Try to use it below 5 or 0 celsius. This lazyness effect is more visible then. It's winter now. You won't see it as much in summer.
so the question is, if i will replace the device this thing will apear again?
I've seen that happen on LCD screens too. I believe the problem might be FPS(frames per second). You aren't achieving 30 FPS or more when scrolling thus making the screen look blurry/ faded text when scrolling. Most likely cause of this is either the GPU not able to push 30> fps or LCD latency(highly doubt).
Try different websites and report back.(some sites are resource hog and might slow down your phone) ex. try sites that you know doesn't have ton of ads
Try different browser. (some browsers like opera mini are less resource hungry and might improve rendering on screen)
Try other apps as a last resort.
if the blurry text is from LCD then LG made a poor decision on picking a low frequency screen. maybe 60hz (LCD screen refreshes 60 times)
Coming from an M7, this is really annoying, especially when scrolling through Twitter.
I saw the phone in a store today and wanted to buy it. But got annoyed that the smallest screen scaling option is still bigger than my p20 pro and feels like a waste of screen real estate.
Does anyone know of a way to make things on screen look smaller without rooting?
connect to adb and use wm size option. whatever size you set make sure aspect ratio is same as original device. it works better than wm density.
It’s even simpler than that. There are adjustments in display as well the option in developer options to adjust dpi.

You can change the minimum width setting to a higher number in developer options but it will mess up the SystemUI a little. Certain apps will become too large. It also resets every time you restart the phone. Huawei needs to fix this. It's one of the worst things about EMUI.
try using wm size. it works perfectly.
apart from some apps, like camera. use tasker to reset back when using camera
Thank you so much Guys! Is there any difference at all between using minimum with in developer options, and using vm size in adb? Cheers

It really doesn't work any better than using the Minimum Width setting in developer options and like you said it even screws up the camera app.
I'm using 600 DPI and I have no problems. I wouldn't recommend going higher than 640 as you might get glitches.
Does anyone have a link on how to use that wm size setting?

I have the dpi set to 611 through developer settings and use nova to have icons etc ridiculously small

Don't get me wrong, the phone itself is amazing.
There are just more software issues which are on Samsung.
The always on charging status which will burn the screen
The always on fingerprint while AOD is on which will also burn the screen
Lack of camera resolution settings (actual size of pictures on 4:3 are around 2MB?!?) and pictures are not good as on Note9 or S10
And the feature that I'm missing really much is swipe on fingerprint sensor to drop notification menu down, but on the other hand, face recognition works so damn fast that I don't even need fingerprint.
And speakers could be better, they are dull, without much base.
Hmmm,
I wonder about that possiblity of burning the screen
Yes speakers could be better
But what do you mean no camera resolution settings? I don't even see 4:3 in the options
I wonder if the AOD stuff moves slightly every so often to prevent burn in.
UPDATE: Fingerprint AOD moves slightly every several seconds. I haven't tested the battery charging one since I'm testing my battery usage and SOT so I don't want to mess with my charge cycle right now.

There is aspect ratio on the top when you are in the camera (4:3, 16:9, full and 1:1) but you can't change the resolution (MPxs) in the settings, so I'm just getting low quality 2MB pictures.
The possibility for burn ins is great, trust me.

I wasn't looking that much because I disabled it as soon as I saw fingerprint sensor enlighten.
The clock should move a couple of pixels each minute, but I can't confirm that. Sensor will stay there forever.
EDIT: you are actually correct, that **** is moving.
Ok, so now, just that annoying charging notification stays forever in the same place.

Resolution settings are in camera settings. You are not stuck with 2MP pictures.
You're worried about the fingerprint symbol burning in, but not the clock on AOD? Just set AOD to "tap to wake."
My speakers are super loud and clear. But at the end of the day, they are cell phone speakers. You can adjust sound quality by turning on Dolby Atmos and/or changing the equalizer.
As far as swiping the fingerprint reader to pull down the notification shade, why not just set home screen setting to pull it down on a swipe down?

I was wrong about one thing, you can NOT change MPs in settings. But it takes pics in 12 MPs on the rear camera, except the ultra wide angle, which is a 16 MP lense. The FFC is a 10 MP camera. Are you sure you're not talking about 2 MB? As in megabytes, the file size?
And again, if you're not worried about the clock on AOD causing burn in, then the FO scanner won't either. Now the charging status I agree with.

I see what you're saying. But for me I need it there. I kept missing it till I turned on AOD which helped a lot. Also I am glad this fingerprint is so much better than the S10 plus. I hated it on the S10

It seems that I do not have resolution settings. I shooted for over one hundred of pictures and not a single one was over 2.5MB, with compression disabled.
About AOD, we figured that both clock and sensor light are moving so that's fine.
About swiping down, that works on home screen only, not in apps or wherever you are.

2.5MB is about right for a 12MP JPEG file. That's the size they are on all my other phones. I have to take pics for work, then compress them down under 2MB to email them. Sometimes I don't even have to compress them, because at full quality they are already under 2.5MB.
And I understand your point on the swipe down. I never thought of that.

That's strange because on the Note 9, pictures were around 4MBs, never under 3.5MB with 4:3 and 12mpx.
My coworker still has Note 9 and we were comparing them, and pictures are bigger on his phone.
There is still hope for both FP sensor light and charging status once they update GoodLock I believe.

I stand corrected. When I check details in the Gallery, my 12.2 MP pics are between 3.5MB and 4.5MB.
That is weird then.
This may sound dumb, but the biggest gripe I have with this phone is the power button being on the left. I'm so used to it being on the right and touching there and nothing happens!
I also wish the power button was on the right side. I loved the phone once I turned on High Performance mode and changed the screen mode to Vivid. In camera settings, I also had to change the rear and front video size to UHD.
What I hate the most about this phone right now is how high the interference is on my daily routine since Wednesday. First night I got it I skipped the gym. Then boyfriend duties are getting neglected. Boss at work is asking why I'm not getting as much done. Smh
