If Faux cooked up an app for us to be able to calibrate our screens, would you use it? I for one would and I'd imagine that every user in the Nexus 7 forums would jump aboard.
What I'm basically doing is getting a show of hands. Maybe if Faux would see this, he'd jump on it. I'd easily pay $5 for such an app. These screens are horribly calibrated out of the box as you all know..

Yea colors, contrast, brightness and gamma.
Some people get lucky and get a screen they're satisfied with like yourself, but some of us aren't so lucky.
For example my N7s gamma is too high and everything is overly bright or has a bloom effect so to speak. Essentially making reading text a task. Stressful on my eyes, etc.

Then sir please explain me why the n4 which has a IPS LCD can be calibrated. The only reason we can't calibrate it is because the devs can't find an interface (kernel) to change the colors like it is with the n4 (or amoled devices) . Seems like nvidia and Asus went cheap on this one... I hope there will be some changes for the new Android version.

Calibrating this screen is simply not possible because the interface is not there. The only way to calibrate is using the specialized software from the factory, which we obviously don't have. It will never be possible in the kernel, unless google/asus adds it (unlikely).

Amoled always has calibration info to mess with due to how they work (no backlight) and their infancy requiring calibration.
Samsung devices almost always have calibration info, probably due to touchwiz and their display modes feature.
Nexus 4 users just got lucky. Google made a source change to emphasize yellows, leaving code for the devs to play with and now understand.

Hi everyone! I recently had bought a N7 but I'm still waiting for device arrival (I'm on Colombia) the 30th of December.
So, here is the thing : I just want to build a list of mostly n7 devices with almost zero troubles using the ssn of them. I have read that A90 ones are very faulty and the latest (c90k) are mostly very stable. Please, give me more feedback about it.
Enviado desde mi MT27i usando Tapatalk 2
They are shipping ca0's now. The two I've gotten have been flawless.
This thread seems kind of iffy, what are you asking? If you want to know what models of the N7 have the least problems there is already a thread where you would e able to find that information.

FWIW, my N73G unit is 100% perfect.
Zero screen lift, zero dead/stuck pixels, no backlight flickering issue, no problems whatsoever.
If you look at the internal components, there were some major differences between the 3G and Wi-Fi units - not just the inclusion of the SIM slot. Not sure if that helped "fix" the other issues, but I'm happy.

Pretty sure the chances of getting a good one are greatly improved but there still wasn't a "fix" but rather work arounds. So there is still a chance of getting one with a little lift. Again, this lift is really retarded and only noticeable once you look for it...
But the work around was by removing a few screws which seems to relax the plastic so it doesn't flex as much. My 32gb looks good perfect as did my launch 16gb N7. I had 2 16gb in between with lift... fixed with homemade washers on the screws.
32gb was October release which was CA0K or whatever. Anything after A (ie. B C D E F) should be far enough down the line to have this resolved since it is a known issue.
Perhaps they are using more / different glue or better screws or something but they know and should be looking for this before it leaves the plant.

Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Hi
After going back to stock 4.2.2 using the factory images and clearing everything before installing the images I noticed the LCD colours have changed completely. The more washed out look I was used to is replaced by a much richer display, matching the HTC One X now, although not quite as overly saturated as the One X which is a bit too saturated.
My phone is from November and I was very familiar with the more washed out look, and I just assumed it was fixed in 4.2.2 that I see now.
Perhaps the new settings can only be picked by a complete wipe and install, hence phones shipping with 4.2.2 look better as they are a clean install, whereas maybe an OTA isn't changing the calibration settings.
Regards
Phil

The Nexus 10 has a notification LED, but the video is definitely not of a N10.

So by this image, it would be produced by Asus again? Was the N10 by Asus also?
