Grey navigation bar - any way to change? - Motorola Razr 5G Questions & Answers

Hi everyone, anyone else got this device?? The grey navigation bar at the bottom is annoying and doesn't fit. It should just be black. I tried an app from the play store to change color but it only changes the very thin bar where the gesture hint is, not the wider grey space under it. Any tricks to make it black all the time?

Here's a screenshot of what I'm talking about, drives me bonkers.

High contrast areas that are fixed on an oled screen will become burned in over a couple years.
You want it black now.. But it will be visible when rotating the screen if it was.
Even being grey won't fully save it but it should make it much less noticeable unless you're always viewing black content. So maybe silver lining?

Faulty Camera?

Noticed a white fading band at the top of my camera image. Here is a screen grab where u can see what I'm taking about. It fades son its hard to tell if its even all the way across as some sort of UI design or if its my camera being faulty/ shifted out of position . Any thoughts?

Wow. I see it. Took me awhile to figure it out. My phone has the same thing. It might be normal or a theme thing. Lets see what other people have to say.

I have this as well, it seems more pronounced when viewed on the phone but when you look at the screengrab on the pc, you can barely notice it.
Also i tried taking a picture of what was in the viewfinder and the picture comes out as pure black, with no fading band. I'm assuming this is a software issue rather than a faulty camera or bad camera placement.
Have you noticed when you take a picture in low light and then click on the thumbnail on the right and start moving the screen around the edges of the photo go all weird ?
I also have this, I think this is just a frame around camera app.

Watchface with white background & black fonts when backlight off?

Are there any faces like this? Like an old-school LCD with black numbers over a white background. It would be much easier to read with the backlight off. I don't know why Sony didn't make any of theirs that way. Any help much appreciated.

I used Watchmaker to make my own. Here's the watchface file.

I forgot to add a pic of the watchface.

Thanks a lot. I'm gonna have to tinker with Watchmaker a bit, new to AW.
Hi,
have a look to these Flip Clocks :
I use the second one with Watchmaker Premium and have tuned it to open calendar when I press the day, added a Chronometer under the date, watch battery in top left corner, smartphone battery in top right corner and seconds in bottom right corner :
I've added these items only in bright mode.
Here's the one I made. As a fan and owner of phosphor watches this is the closest font I found. Also you could turn invert colors on, in the accessibility settings for that white background with black numbers when in ambient mode.

[Q] Top part of the screen brightness issue

Hello everyone. I'm new here
I'm a new user of the LG G4. Quite happy with it right now. But I have a problem that I'm not sure if it's an issue or not.
On the top side of the screen (notification bar) I see a brighter light on the top that diffuse down (I don't know how to explain it)
I tried to take photos of it, but it doesn't appreciate too much. (I tried editing the contrast in the first one to make it more visible)

I wonder if anyone have this issue too, if it's normal or not. Thanks in advance.
Lol. This is by design.
That could be screen bleed where the LCD isn't bonded properly and allows addition light in from the backlight. I would compare with other G4s and get it replaced if needed.
If they give you crap about returning it just tell them the headphone port is randomly staticy.
Try to test it with full black baground with dead pixel test app from play store and on dark room.
Before try this go to settings and do the navigation buttons invisible to dead pixel app to test all screen. If you see very much light bleed then you must go to replace it. If you no then keep your phone and n'joy because you can say it normally. Many ips screens had this bleed.
If you don't want this your only way is Amoled.
Thanks for all your answers. I wasn't sure if that was normal, because I come from a S4 with Amoled and didn't have this issue. But for what I'm reading, it is normal. I think I would try to find other G4 and see if that happens too.
I have an LG G4
Funny thing is last night i noticed the exact same thing when i realised all the icons on the notification bar had burnt into my screen up there too which got me worried, maybe its all LG G4's maybe just ours but im not happy at all

Need help....Washed out colors

I had downgraded back to KitKat and had it setup exactly like I wanted it and had been using it for a few weeks. All of a sudden my screen would become washed out. Kind of like it was stuck in reading mode or something like that. Sometimes it will correct itself on it's own or if I enable then disable grayscale mode. If that doesn't work, then I have to reboot. After being locked for a few minutes though, it gets washed out again. I decided to go back to Lollipop to see if that fixed it but it's still happening.
What could be causing it have washed out colors?
Can you screenshot what you're talking about? And why would you want to be on KitKat?
Do you have the adaptive display enable?, is the rgb sensor blocked?
John.
I was going to try and get a screenshot but it hasn't done it again. Anyway, I just traded it for a gaming laptop today so doesn't really matter much anymore. Thanks for the replies though!
So, I got my tablet back and I have some screenshots of the issue available. Hopefully you'll be able to see what I talking about.

I believe it's hardware related. I was holding it at the bottom right corner when it got the green tint. Grabbing the bottom right and top left corners and bending slightly on the back of it causes the green tint. Bending on the front reverses the green tint. Loose connection, a short, or failing screen altogether?
EDIT: I looked at those screenshots while my screen is normal and I can't see the green tint, so this is really weird!

Question Pixel Error on XIAOMI Poco F3 ?

I noticed some white pixels and i wonder, whether these are real pixel-errors or not.
I found exactly the same dots on 2 different Poco F3, so i could imagine, they are a "feature" instead errors...
The most intensive is the ohne on the left side.
But: If i test the display with sample-pics (fully white, black, red, green and blue, 1080x2400), there are no errors visible at these positions.
And more confusing: You can see them on a Screenshot (this is not a separate photo of the screen)!

No dear,
Didn't Experience any kind of pixel issues so far.
Can younexplain, what that is? Shows only on "empty" active screen, but can not bei seen in any color-testing?

Go to Google and find yourself pure black picture... ?
This looks like artifacting either from the launcher that you're using or the photo in the background is not pure black...
