Hello all!
I've picked my Nexus 7 today from CPW, even though I knew of the existing screen issues. Before buying it I had the time to have a quick look at it, just to make sure hardware wise was fine. Well yes, it was fine, but the colors are not calibrated. I know it's not a new thing, but at least it's not a hardware problem (or at least I hope it's not! ).
I was wondering if any of the apps/mods available in the forum/play store can actually help with the colours of the screen? I know a few years back Nexus One had issues with colour calibration and Nook as well, and there were a few mods developed which helped with the problem.
I'm happy with my nexus and I don't really want to return it, as the new one might have excellent colours but other issues would be present.
Would appreciate some suggestions or we could simply start a discussion on the topic and what could be done about calibrating the colours.
p.s. Apologies if this is not the right thread!
I would try trinity kernel, if u flash his kernel and buy his app u can do what u want to the colors. Its still alpha tho. Im using it on my gnex and its awesome.

Screen Adjuster helps a little, but doesn't do anything about the poor gamma. And unfortunately it makes the UI a little laggy. So probably not worth it. I haven't seen anything else so far.

The trinity kernel with the tkt app does not have the option yet for color calibration.

I must be seriously lucky, the screen on my Nexus 7 is brilliant. I have the Evo LTE, and I'm accustomed to nice screens. I get tons of compliments every day by people looking at my tablet and saying how crisp the colors and text are. I'm usually the one with the issues, but the sun shines on a dogs ass every now and then.
Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it now and i could actually achieve satisfying results but as u said the performance is seriously affected! At least this proves the colours can be fixed with software. I hope Google comes up with a fix of some sort !
About the crisp and clean screens... I've a galaxy s3 as well and I don't even want to compare it with the nexus!

I shined a light on my dog's ass and I saw no improvement in color response. What other steps did you take?
The gamma on mine is way off (down around 1.2 at 48% for me), but as I posted before the colour temp (on mine at least) seems excellent. Swings and roundabout I suppose. Unfortunately Android doesn't have colour management baked into the OS (neither does iOS) so there's no really practical solution at present. If you want proper calibration on a tablet sometime soon I guess the only option would be to get one of the x86 Win8 tablets at the end of the year.

Not on nexus 7, and I haven't seen an easy way to do it on this LCD, also not looking too hard considering there is other stuff to be done that does work.

I'll be replacing it then, shame there's no a quick solution as the problem is not so difficult to fix..
Thanks for the help!
I think CM ROMs usually offer calibration in the display menu? I think the upcoming CM10 will have it
My cellphone is more vibrant
But it has an amoled display. I usually run the Nexus at 25%, to save battery and because I find it too bright ( indoors anyway) to keep looking at it when it,s at 75 - 100%. If they do send a OTA fix, I might have to drop it down to 10%
Here's a screen shot at 25%. I don't know if a screen shot is accurate to show my screen brightness, but I'm good with the brightness and color.

quite funny though...haha, but has anything come up to fix our screens? I will play with my nexus and pick up my phone and just be confused over the better colors on my Sensation. The nexus is a bit washed out... and darks aren't great but that can't be fixed.

i know hurts my eyes looking at it. supposed to give excellent battery life though.
no it does not, i ran a test (its in the general section) because of the "render" it slows your phone down considerably and wastes cpu cycles ergo negating any battery life you would have saved (if you had an oled screen), but since we have an lcd screen EVERY pixel is lit up regardless if its in use or not. i had 29 hours with almost no use, people on here get longer then that with a bit of use...
TL: DR slows your phone down, does make it look cool if your into that, but it doesnt save battery from what ive seen
I would love this app and I dont care if it kills my battery. The green is nice for using screen at night. Better then white screen at night. So do we have a answer where can we get it? Running droidX.
If you are using CM6, it is in Settings > Cyan Settings > Render effect.
You can also add a render fx widget to your home screen. Add it like any other widget.

Cm6 is not supported on droidX. I do have and use it on my original Droid. And im looking for this or something like it.

You're right. The whole idea of showing only one color exploits the technology of OLED and its ability to only light up pixels on demand. LCD works by having the entire backlight always on, with polarizers selectively attenuating the light appropriately for each pixel. That's why LCD cannot achieve true black like OLED, and that's why OLED contrast ratio tests destroy LCD.
Since our Hero has the latter technology, this has absolutely no positive effects for us. Don't use it unless you like less colors.
So I have torn apart most of cyanogenmod's roms and settings trying to find this. So if anyone has it please upload that would be awesome
here is the spare parts APK. i havent tried pushing it yet, but its worth a shot.

well to be honest this device has had a fair share of problems i luckily didnt face any of them from my experience it beats nexus s in all ways, processor camera hdmi speed display built quality, all aspects are better. There are a few thing though u should look before getting this device if u get a used one from the market
1- Put on a black wallpaper or image and see the corners for lcd bleeding
2- Load couple of system apps like camera and stuff see if it looses responsiveness or restarts, finally look closely at lcd if there are dead pixels if it passes those test ill buy the g2x no doubt about it

Just have to say... If you didn't get it, I bet you wish you did Nexus S is first phone after gn to get ics! This phone is the ISH! It is now clear why google chose this phone over the g2- the gpu still beast enough to handle ICS, while none of the other phones (except gs) of the time(not event g2) can compete. I will never buy anything but Nexus.
Nexus FTW!
This article goes into great detail.
It even breaks down the sensor technology as well as comparisons between the iPhone 5 and Nokia Lumia 920.

It goes into such great details.
I wonder if HTC could do something about the night mode. Since it captures better photos in night mode than the phone adapting to the darkness. Maybe do something were the sensor notices it's dark and reviews the time on the phone to automatically go into night mode.
Jeez never read a review that was so in depth

Makes me want the darn thing even more.
I'm excited to see HTC turn around. I've stuck by them through it all since the OG Evo days! I can't wait to see the One and experience the next generation of HTC.
amazing
that's good:silly::silly::silly:
In fact, I do really like the iphone-similar appearance on HTC One.
It's iPhone like only in that it's metal and square... It's distinctively HTC in design though. It's way more EVO than than iPhone. I'm pretty proud that they made all of the choices for the right reasons. Now my biggest concerns are s off at some point and getting more than 1 OS upgrade out of them.

Were there recommended camera settings posted in the mega picture thread? I believe I saw a post that stated people were getting best results using a certain combo of settings. I know settings depend on circumstances but it would be nice to know what the 'bar' was.
So I just got the point 3 update on Viper ROM the capacitive buttons haven't caused any trouble as of yet and everything else appears to be working pretty smooth I like the new um power button thing on the swipe down menu and it seems to still run about the same speed pretty snappy using lighting launcher and screen filter to save battery it does charge really slow but you gotta give them credit this is really there second phone with a nice size battery and I bet you the next release will have even better power management

I come from the line of thinking that if my screen is darker then it's probably not using as much power, granted that difference may be minimal.
Is there anyway we can modify the layout of the pull-down device settings like the wifi tether icon doesn't seem to work on the Sprint version unless you have a specific data plan so I'd like to either remove it or swap it out with the application that I run for tether

Well, your line of thinking is incorrect. Imagine your phone is on full brightness and you put a piece of tint on the front of the screen. It will appear to be darker right? But in reality, it's just not projecting the light because you have a filter over it. Screen filter is exactly the same thing. There is no battery savings to be had with it.
Toggles will be edited for next release to fix/remove those that don't work or are useless. A

I think it's safe to assume we both clicked on the image as we don't have super vision haha. I see a pure black screen with just the white text and buttons, I don't see any grey at all.
Ok, instead of doing a screen shot I took a picture of my Note 9 and my Note 8. I've tried 6 different pure black wallpapers and they all look grey on my Note 9. On my Note 8 I'm using the same pure black 4k wallpaper and it's black not grey. This only happens on my "recent apps" screen, everything else is black.

While all input is well-meaning,it's doing nothing but eating up precious time for returns/exchanges before it turns into a warranty issue.

Perhaps,but,the OP has compared the same paper & others w/another phone.
If it were me,I wouldn't waste another minute.
Of course,go through the usual steps before contacting Samsung (clear cache in recovery/factory reset if that doesn't do it).
Some here feel such returns are frivolous & drive up costs for everyone,that's what the mfgs want you to think to reduce returns.
Truth is,it's a business decision & the costs are already factored-in when they set the MSRP,whether they accept a certain percentage of defects as the cost of doing business,or,tighten up quality control to lessen the cost of servicing warranties/exchanges.
I guarantee the people who advocate for "sucking it up" for the greater good unicorn of lower costs wouldn't do so if it was their device having issues.
Regardless,if the phone is seemingly defective,it's everyone's right to expect Samsung to make good on their warranty.
If one sits on their hands & does nothing but post in forums about it,they're getting nothing but empty platitudes,as useful as a FB :good: ......

Truth is,it's a business decision & the costs are already factored-in when they set the MSRP,whether they accept a certain percentage of defects as the cost of doing business,or,tighten up quality control to lessen the cost of servicing warranties/exchanges.
I guarantee the people who advocate for "sucking it up" for the greater good unicorn of lower costs wouldn't do so if it was their device having issues.
Regardless,if the phone is seemingly defective,it's everyone's right to expect Samsung to make good on their warranty.
If one sits on their hands & does nothing but post in forums about it,they're getting nothing but empty platitudes,as useful as a FB :good: ......

I once had an AMOLED black wallpaper on my note 8 that showed the upper area where the status bar was as slight lighter than the rest in the home screen, however in the apps screen it would be pitch black . One could notice it in a dark room. My case was software.
But yes, I get your point of view.

I've had two phones w/issues the mfg basically refused to acknowledge:
A Galaxy S3 that had Touch/zooming issues & an HTC M7 w/seriously FUBAR B/T issues on phone calls.
Haven't had hardware issues w/any phones since,but,that's where I'm coming from when I recommend people to immediately contact the mfg with any quality issues.
The sooner the better for getting the process started/documented.
At minimum,it's user error,so be it,no harm,it'll get figured out,but,only if the end user takes action directly w/the mfg if all else fails.

Ok, instead of doing a screen shot I took a picture of my Note 9 and my Note 8. I've tried 6 different pure black wallpapers and they all look grey on my Note 9. On my Note 8 I'm using the same pure black 4k wallpaper and it's black not grey. This only happens on my "recent apps" screen, everything else is black.

this is not an issue just an effect in recent apps. why would you think its a screen issue if it only happens under certain conditions/place?
note 8 is on 8.0 and note 9 is on 8.1 so maybe they just tweaked the effects a bit or maybe its just the theme.
people are so paranoid with the damn screens its beginning to be insane!
im thinking of opening a new thread for people issues using the note 9 .
note 9 paranoia is quite high, its as if people are begging for issues
Samsung customer support must be having high suicide rates this past month dealing with imaginary issues.
its probably making things hard for people that acctualy have legitimate issues... don't cry wolf

My post started with "possible" not "definetly". To my knowledge XDA FORUMS is a place for Q&A's unless I'm wrong. I'm definitely not paranoid about something that I can simply exchange. I swear some people on here contribute nothing to the forum but confusion. To the people that tried to help, Thank You.

I swapped it out. Once I updated the software on the new phone it started doing the same thing so I'm assuming that it's a software change. I compared it to a couple of friends Note 9s with updated software and same thing.
