Ok so this really isn't the biggest thing or issue but I was curious if anyone else has this issue, Ok so with air view with the s pen you can hover over certain things and it will Pop up a little window with some text either explaining What it is or where it goes etc. but when I upgraded to one Ul 2.0 android 10 the text changed color from normal black to a very light cyan or light blue, so light I can't see the text at all anymore. Anyone else have this problem or know of a fix for this, any help or input would be very much appreciated!
Here's a quick screenshot.
I have seen this sometimes when applying light color themes

Is there any way to change the color coding on the Evo's LED charging indicator? I'm mildly red/green colourblind, and can't tell a difference at all between the red and green, would love to be able to set it to red/blue, or even yellow/blue.
Thanks!

Since there is not a blue led on the evo only way is to physically change it.
When I USED THE SEARCH I found this for you...

Weird, I ran a search and didn't find that. :S
So we can't change LED colour without changing hardware? I ask because the blackberry I had before the Evo had an app in their app store that let you change the LED color at will.

Unfortunatly no. our leds are color specific they are not multi-colored led's that would allow us to blend the colors to create a custom color...
Searching on this forum can be a little tricky I always search from this page so it will query all the evo sub forums..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=619
That mod is awesome I just wish it easier to access the leds so we didn't have to take the whole phone apart and void the warrantee.
Yeah, can't say I'm excited about soldering anything in this phone.
Thanks for your help!

Hi everyone, forgive if anything like this is already up (I searched and found nothing). But I completely customized the text messaging appearance so that it takes advantage of the pure black that the AMOLED uses.
(This is all using the app: "Handcent SMS")
I downloaded "handcent SMS" went into settings --->custom style--->bubble settings:
Here is where I Changed Conversation style to: Android
Background color: pure black (all colors to zero)
Incoming background and outgoing background to: pure black
(By then everything should be black)
Now this is what makes the effect happen:
I adjusted incoming font color to pure red (255)
Then I put outgoing font color to 138-Green and 255-Blue
I adjusted both fonts to size 22.
I Also noticed that the date font color also helps with the effect and I have mine at 83-green.
So once you have all these setting in place, the pure black and the incoming red font should look like it pops right out at you, while the blue outgoing font color sits in the back!!!
I noticed the effect pops out more outside or whenever theres a more light in the room!
(First write up, forgive if I'm not as thorough as I should be)
Give it a shot, mess around with the colors!
Interesting effect. I do like the glossy black background. Though I found the pure red to be too harsh. I settled on official Android Blue (51, 181, 229) for the incoming text font color.
Will try it out for a few days to see whether it's a keeper.
Update: Making the incoming text font a couple of points larger than the outgoing enhances the 3D effect.
uhhh, screenshot?

I've noticed 3D looking text in other apps like tibu but I've never though of using it for texting, its pretty cool
can you take a screenshot of it?
Crazy! It actually does give a semi 3D effect

Eh, the red text certainly pops out but I wouldn't say it does so in a 3d kind of way. In fact it looks sort of pixelated to me and harsh to look at. More like it's grabbing my attention by being so stark compared to the rest of the screen.
I think I like your color settings for the outgoing text though, very easy on the eyes. I'm messing around with options for the other color, so far I'm working with max green, mid blue and red.
Still waiting for a screenie

Blue and red colors always appear to have depth on a solid color hence the red and blue 3D glasses. It's an optical illusion but neat if you like that sort of stuff.

Wow pretty cool!!!!!
Ok so clearly a troll post. Looking at the instructions alone you can tell nothing 3D about it. I'll post a screenshot in 10 mins. Maybe we can get an op to get rid of it.

It actually gives you an optical illusion of a 3D effect.
And it works, I tried it on my phone.
Nice find OP.

I just updated a screenshot of it. Look at my results. I followed the instructions in the OP. If you think it's any different then provide a screenshot as proof.
You can see same illusion/effect in Titanium backup's app list

Ever thought that this effect won't come out in a screenshot because it's an effect of the AMOLED screen or the specifical display?
Ever thought that this is an optical illusion and not an actual 3D-effect and you might just not see it because it is, in fact, an illusion?
Hey guys - anyone else been getting screen flickering on their HOX-quadcore?
Only seems to happen in certain situations, but normally when a dialogue box is open over top of a white background does it do it.. But it doesn't ALWAYS do it either... Seems to be based on the background lighting in the room?
Also seems quite prominent under Fluro-tube lights.
Other than this one thing - i freakin LOVE this phone

Are you serious?! There are already 2 major threads about it. For example:

You didn't search did you ?
Yup. Notice it in YouTube videos. A line all the way across where the soft keys end and sometimes you can see the outline of the home button.
What do?

What colour home button have you used the most? Blue by chance?
White.
However I understand blue pixels die/burn easily.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
It's not technically burn in. Think of it as reverse led fatigue The leds that make up the navbar are burning brighter due to less time on them and where you can see the button images is where the leds have been used. On the first gen galaxy's some would make entire screen white and put it at full brightness and let it sit on overnight.
good day.
We've posted this many times, yes the screen gets burn in. That's why I hide the top and bottom bar each day to use those pixels frequently. I also reduced the height of the buttons. My burn in is basically gone.
I know the screen burns in. This thread isn't about a new discovery. This thread is about what I should do about it. I disabled the soft keys and am using LMT Launcher now.
I'd like to use the normal keys, but want them to hide. Like how the task bar in windows will hide. Any apps you may know of that do said feature?

SAme problem here... I have some icons ''burned in'', im trying a 10 hours white screen youtube video now, maybe it will work.... You guys have other ideas?
I can recommend using Display Tester by gombosdev Its free and supports ics fullscreen option in settings. Use the dead pixel test to display a single color. I got burnin for red only for the pixels that have not been 'exercised' top and bottom.
I was expecting burnin eventually but not that the 'black' pixels would burn in and certainly not that the red color would be affected and not the blue.
I started seeing this after only a few weeks

Sounds more like a result of dead pixel.
Cause of the nature AMOLED's working, a dead pixel causing an entire line of pixeld distorting and then dead after some time.
P.S. Oh sorry, its not, readed it wrong
Yeah I hide the bars once a day. Also I make my button color green, and signal and click etc green since that is the most robust color, and also green text looks sharper since there are twice as many green pixels as blue and red. So it looks good too.
How bad it is, when I have a lot of blue on screen? How long it can last ? And is damage permanent? Stock JB has quite a lot of blue pixels and I would also like to use some themes like http://droidviews.com/2012/iphone-4s-ios-theme-for-miui-v4-update/
Does any ROM have the ability to set white notification and soft-key areas? I'm very keen to try and even out my reverse burn-in problem.

For notifications and the soft key bar, I believe you would have to use a theme. The only rom I know that has nav bar coloring abilities built-in is Codename Android.
I bought my phone from an online store in Romania on February 22.I have warranty and other things, it was brand new. I kept the screen on full brightness, and Dynamic color mode. That's how I like it. I was aware of burn in so I switched colors with a display tester every 3 days or so. Yesterday I noticed that the spot where status bar is used to be in portrait mode is brighter than the rest of the screen when displaying blue, white and grey colors. Brighter not Darker. I searched on Google images and that doesn't look like burn in. It wasn't here until yesterday when I spotted it. It's barely visible with display tester but in Games videos photos and multi colored things it can't be finded, You need to look with max attention. I used Nova launcher to hide the status bar. I also heard that there are 2 different things, image retention which is fixable and permanent burn in. I searched for something like this but I don't seemed to find something good. I don't know what it is,I never browsed the Web without changing the pixels where the status bar is for more than 20 minutes. I heard burn in occurs in extreme cases. I don't know how this happened so that's why I'm asking you guys. I don't know even what to do it bothers me only in display tester, but otherwise the screen is perfect. Please give me an advice because I don't want to have a faulty screen.. Can it even be repaired under warranty for that?
No one knows what's the problem?
Maybe you could post a photo ?
Look at the top of the screen...That's actually what I'm seeing when looking on a blue test background.This kind of discoloration/brightness where the notification bar usually is when in portrait mode.This is not a screenshot or photo ,it's just a blue image that i modified to show about i'm talking about.It also happens on grey and white and cyan .I couldn't take a photo because i have a crap 7 MP shooter ,and one crapper 2 MP shooter on my old Galaxy Y.I tried them both but noone of them can catch thatstrange discoloration/burn-in/brightness
Xda don't let me to post links..That's the link without the X'es so delete X from this link to go to the image hXttp://i4XX4.tinypic.coXXm/2w4g39j.jpgX
I really don't know what this can be.
I have the same problem! I noticed it a few weeks ago. The bar on top, when in full screen mode, is slightly brighter/lighter compared to the rest of the screen. I can see it the most when using the browser. The screen looks slightly more yellow compared to the grayer (or something like that) bar. Remember the bar is not actually there, just the discoloration in its place. I have no idea what is causing this and I'm hoping it's not hardware related.
It ain't hardware if it shows up in a screenshot. Looks like the exact dimensions of the status bar, almost as if it's compositing it or it's shadow placeholder where it expects it to be. Try a different ROM, or install the Simplistic Framework and try changing the status bar's colour and transparency setting, see if it makes any difference.

I wrote that.It doesn't show up in screenshots.I edited a blue picture to look exactly like my phone screen.The problem I think it's the screen itself.And the reason for why I edited a picture is that as I said my shooters can't spot it.Any ideas?Also I use the stock ROM ,un-rooted..Everything stock ,including the notification bar.I just have a custom launcher wallpaper and widgets...
It shows up when you turn the phone in landscape mode as well. It remains on the side as a vertical discoloration where the notification bar resides when in portrait mode. I'm not pleased to say the least.

Made in china phones r crap..made in korea by samsung is gud quality
If you have the warranty the warranty, why not use it? Since the problem is from the phone itself.
This is same like what happen to OG note..i thought sammy already solve the problem when they using RGB instead of pentile on our note 2.. this is not good...

My phone was on Dynamic and Full Brightness all the time.I love oversaturated and bright screens.LOVE AMOLED <3
Well I found a solution to the problem. It takes time to pull off and is still a work in progress for me but it's working.
I created an image that matched the resolution of the phone screen. I then made a rectangle at the top of this image that presents the exact size of the status bar and colored it white. The rest of the image was colored black.
I installed an app that keeps the screen on without dimming when plugged into the charger. Overnight I display the image I created with the screen set to stay awake and don't dim at full brightness. So what you see is a black screen with a full brightness white strip where the status bar is supposed to be.
This process quickly "ages" the status bar area and it slowly starts to match the rest of the screen. I've been doing it for almost a week and the difference between the two sections of the screen is starting to diminish. I bet a couple more weeks of this and the difference between the two sections will be gone.
I got the problem as well. And I'm telling as many people as I can because I'm annoying like that. Seriously, I hate the fact that I spent such money on faulty phone...Samsung galaxy note 2. <blech>
Unfortunately, Camera has stopped.
