[Q] Screen Calibration - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all
I am a new Nexus 6 owner
I love the phone
But the screen is just CRAZY saturated!
I do understand that there are many threads about this exact thing.....
And I am sorry for asking...
But I have no idea where to start..
Is there anyone that can point me in the right direction as to a simple fix, that will keep all how it is but allow screen adjustment?
I know nothing about kernals...or ROM's...
I don't want to change anything about the phone other than tone down that screen!!!
Please help.
Thanks

Settings>Display-turn adaptive brightness on or off.
What is you brightness?
I keep mine around 30-35%.

Hey thanks for replying
I have adaptive brightness on and I am fine with that.
Was more concerned about the colour saturation..
It seems a bit too full on for my tastes.
Was asking what is the easiest way to adjust it?
Cheers

You'll have to use a kernel or get use to it which you will.

How to set glowing wheel always on?

I am a new htc diamond user and found that the lighting scrolling wheel is kind of cool when the phone is charging.
So I am just wondering if there is a way to set the glowing wheel always on even it is not charging?
Thanks!
Why would you? less precious battery life!!!
well, i'm a sucker for lights in what shape they even come, i would serious consider to offer some battery-time for a constantly glowing "wheel"
Just call your phone and don't answer it...the wheel will light up when you miss a call or have a message!
or try "nueled" if you can find it.

only, be sure NOT to use the "Add" function, as it will mess up your Registry.
Weird.
I just tried it on the Bepe light rom, and there I cant use it at all.
It doesn't find the led.
Thanks so much guys. Really appreciate it!

Screen won't go off when calling

Hello Everyone,
I've got a very annoying problem with my Diamond. When I'm calling with someone, the screen won't go off. Because of that my ear often touches the end-call button. I already installed Afvanced Config and it says the ''Light sensor to turn screen off'' function is on.
Does anyone know how I can fix this?
Thanks in advance,
Bart
that's real funny! the forum is full with ppl crying and cursing because they can not STOP the screen going off.
advanced configuration, tweaks and at least three cabs are floating around...you just get it and complaining about...
Hehe yeah, well, maybe we can trade phones? Because in my opninion it's very annoying. Does anyone have a solution? Do I have to change something in the registry?
Does anyone know the answer?

Bump.
Same problem here with my Sprint Diamond. Screen wont go off on it's own during a call. I'm actually more concerned with battery life than bumping buttons on the screen.

Screen problem?

Hello everyone.
On my Galaxy S I9000 a strange thing is happening.
I usualy see it when I have a white background...
It's a little bit complicated to explain it, but I always see an Android keyboard in the background. It's really hard to see it, but i can see the keyboard with all the letters if i focus my eyes on the screen.
So here's my question, is it a screen issue? I tried to wipe everything and to change rom, but no changes...
Thank you.
Looks like you're suffering from screen burn-in effect, sadly it's permanent and irrepairable. You can find more info on this on wikipedia.
Thank you, didn't know that it could happen with AMOLED screen...

+1 :O I hope it doesnt happen in s2, can someone confirm?
It happens specially in AMOLED screens, so it should happen in S2 aswell.
There's nothing you can do, it's strange that it's a keyboard, did you use whatsapp a lot?
Could u post a picture? It does not have to be a burned in screen. If it is u could always replace the screen which doesnt cost alot.

[Q] htc one screen problem

hi i am in the uk.. on three network. i got my htc one on the 3rd of april, and 4 days later the screen started to flicker? not all the time? but browsing? esp facebook or anything page with white? i guess the white shows up the flicker more? like i say NOT all the time but soo annoying!! not what i expected from a high end phone? Now let me just say i love this phone.. but thought i cant have this.. so i fill out support form for htc and they reply quick advising me it should not do this and to get it changed. i contact three go through the whole call centre thing (like pulling teeth) anyways the upshot was.. three sent me another brand new phone the next day (yesterday) and took back my first one. And guess what? as soon as i switch the phone on, same screen flicker? i treated the first phone like a new born baby didnt drop or bash it 4 days=screen flicker. another new phone as soon as i use it = screen flicker!! i so love this phone but im so gutted!! any suggestions from ANYONE would help.
kind regards

This isn't helpful but you must just be unlucky to have had it happen twice because mine's been perfect and I've not seen anyone else on this forum mention that problem with theirs.
I guess you'll have to get a new one sent out again and hope for the best :thumbup:
Could you make a short video clip to illustrate your problem ?

hi.. to be honest i dont think a video would pick the problem up? you know i could just be being a kill joy? ive watched videos etc and there really isnt a problem with that at all.. in fact the quality of the picture is fab? if i could use an analogy? remember when the volume control on your stereo would get dust in it? and you would have to twiddle the knob to cure it? its a bit like that? like i say it does not do it all the time but i notice it with white in the screen? like facebook google and when i am navigating thru the screens on the phone like settings etc? the white flickers white/slightly darker white? hence my example? now ive changed my text messages colour scheme so that doesnt annoy me now with it.. but obviously as a electronics layman.. i cant help but think if it was a problem with the screen itself, other colours would do the same as they would if there was a loose connestion? and also if it was a power flow problem with the battery? same thing? not just the white on screen? so i can only conclude as a layman again.. that it is some sort of issue with the os? screen refresh rate maybe? i just dont know? and i cant help think stupidly or not that when htc finally get around to an os update to 4.2.2 (or whatever it is) from 4.1.2 the whole thing will be resolved?
Could it be the auto brightness doing its thing? Try turning it off maybe that might solve it.
I might be totally wrong, be great if that fixed it though. Good luck
well well well!!!! And there you have it!! or at least something like that? ive always used the multi widgit for wifi bluetooth brightness etc? so i have brightness preset on that. instead ive gone into display settings, adjusted brightness with slider? no more flicker!! NO MORE FLICKER!! who ever you are!! thank you!!!!!!!!!!

Was this happening when the stock power widget brightness was set to medium?
If so, I have the same flickering ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2243483 ), but I've found out that its not the power widgets fault per se, but the the the level that it sets it to. The widget set the brightness to 33%, and that the level which I'm getting flickering at, regardless of if it was set with the power widget or by the slider. The flickering happens on screen with a good amount of white. Google search result webpage is a good test case; it shows the flickering clearly at 33%. It also seems to depend on where the white is on the screen. For example, I can induce flickering at 40% brightness by moving a light colored icon from the bottom of the screen to the top! Moving it back to the bottom causes the flickering to go away. I can also do it by moving around or resizing the Gmail widget. Flickering happens for me to some extent at brightness values between 33 and 45 under certain screen conditions. Above or below these brightness values, the screen is top notch, no endless flickering at all regardless of how much white is on screen. I'm starting to think this has to do with the dynamic contrast feature of the One. It seems as though it falls in an endless loop of trying to change the contrast, as if it cant decide on what to set the contrast to. Or it could be that the dynamic contrast is fighting for a certain brightness value, but the manually set brightness is not allowing it. I might be wrong about this, and it could just be a hardware backlight problem, regardless, I wish HTC had the Sense (ha ha!) to allow us to disable dynamic contrast if we wanted to. I'm pretty sure this is whats causing the issue where people see flickering when the keyboard pops up.
screen issue?
hi..
i had the widget set on the third setting, the fourth being the brightest. i had the same problem with my first phone and thought at the time it may have been a backlight problem? or power flow problem? i sent that phone back and the next phone did the same? after posting on here.. i removed the widget and manually adjusted the brightness. i like the screen quite bright, manual adjustment cleared the problem for me. i gotta say yep the flicker was more visible on screens with alot of white, google, facebook, texts? and way way annoying! i can only suggest you try the same as i did? perhaps it is just a quirk with the htc? or maybe the os? you never know, when the update to keylime or whatever it is called comes out the flicker may go totally?
JUST had this on facebook? hope it helps?

P9 Plus screen burn-in problem

Hi everyone
I recently bought a used Huawei P9 Plus at a bargain. At first, I didn't find anything wrong with the device. But as soon as brought it home and started using it, I found that the Google search bar and the home screen icons appear on the back of the screen when I open any app. I searched the internet for a while and found that all amoled displays were prone to this condition called "screen burn-in" and maybe I was also experiencing the same problem. So my query is can any of you suggest a working solution to this. At least can I bring the screen back to normal even a little bit? Any help will be much appreciated.
Thank you
Unfortunately no, it cant be fixed. It`s a hardware issue. I have burn in on my p9 plus (status bar and nav bar are completely white, with everything between being yellow-ish). If I crank up the brightness its not noticeable, but on the other hand, its really noticeable in dim environments (at night when the brightness is set to 0)
Please how did you get the burn in? I'm getting a new one soon. I want to avoid that.
had my since release, no burn-in!

Mine was already burnt when I got it. Just make sure to use different themes and lower brightness.
I always have screen on 25%
and change screen look once a week.
(i get bored fast)
