Set wallpaper to black or go to a pure black screen with no icons on it. Bring up the "recent apps" and clear it out so that the overlay is blank. I notice heavy banding when the app is brought up over a pure black screen. Anyone else notice this?
it's hard to notice in a lighted room. go into a very dark room and you should see what I am talking about.
I've noticed this on transparencies. Could be a low quality image they used. Google has been known to limit the colors available to specific apps. Gallery and the Browser usually display crappy gradients. Perhaps this is another form of lowering the image quality so it loads faster.
As far as what your talking about, yes I can replicate it. Horizontal "sections" about equal distance apart. Hardly noticeable. I have to turn the lights off to really see it.
As long as the screen looks amazing when I'm using it and not in a dark room at weird brightnesses, I'm happy. This screen is super vibrant and bright. Who cares about a little banding on an almost black transparency that is requires a pitch black room to see.
Whenever i take a video or capture a picture, everything looks nice in fine, especially black colors in low light conditions. But when i head over to the gallery to view it, all the black colors become this pixely, gross combination of black and purple. Why is this? It seems to be capturing fine but the displaying of it is not.
Hi, in my opinion Cinema Amoled mode makes red/orange look weird
Like intense red turns into somethink like grey/red and orange turns into yellow
I was trying to watch The Martian and everithing looks yellow, like the red sand of mars is the prrcise tone of red that changes into yellow (so i had yo use Photo Amoled, but I dont like the white calibration on that mode) Why Samsung made that weird color calibration?
Maybe the perfect mode will be something like Auto before it turns into Cinema, I mean, if you are in a movie and you change between modes, then you activate Auto Mode, you can see few seconds before it turns into Cinema. and I think Auto looks better, is like Photo but with cooler white... Also I like the higher contrast and intense blue and green of the Cinema mode...
There is any easy way to fix? I found this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal.../guide-loadable-mdnie-color-profiles-t2828089
But I dont really know if is what im looking for, also I think that method look risky :silly:
Maybe someone made an installable mod with the colors fixed?
Or maybe there is any way to make Auto Mode permanent without changing when I see a movie? Some king of video player that tablet doesnt recognize as it?
I always leave my display colour set to auto on my T800, it only works with a few Samsung apps, like the stock video player, or stock browser and a few others, it does not work with third-pary video players or apps.
Have you checked you screen is not faulty, like it`s yellowish or greenish instead of being white, try a screen tester app showing a white screen, if your screen is OK
I only ever use the stock Samsung video player on my T800 and i virtually always leave the adaptive display enabled, now and then i find a video that looks better with the adaptive display disabled.

The screen is OK, with adaptative the white is good, with Photo is warm white
Im using MX player, and stock and the screen chage into Cinema with all video apps I tried, including Youtube
I'll try another video apps not so popular and look if the screen doesnt turn into Cinema Mode, but I'd like to fix it and use MX, maybe there is any way to exclude MX player from the "Cinema Mode Apps"?
Edit: Okay, with VLC Player the screen stays in Auto without changing to Cinema, great
Anyway, I'll keep looking to fix the red/orange tone in cinema

Slingplayer, Xfinity, MX player etc...aside from Google Play movies, I have not found a video app that uses the full 6" screen. Slingplayer and Xfinity leave what looks to me to be over 1/4" of the screen on the right side blacked out. Is this universal or an issue with my phone? Is there a setting somewhere I haven't found to force full screen for video?
I am completely stock 8.1 at the moment...I don't think I should have to do something via adb like forcing immersive mode for something like being able to use my whole screen to watch video???
thanks for any and all input
I think this has to do with the apps themselves being updated to support the aspect ratio. As of now some apps support it and others dont, in time they will update.
It's likely because our screen is 1440 pixels x 2880 pixels (an 18:9 ratio). Most video conform to the regular 16:9 ratio. Because our screen is slightly wider than traditional, there are basically three options:
- Leave empty space as unused on the left/right side of the screen, which is default for most video apps that would otherwise be full screen. The video remains properly proportioned.
- Stretch the video to fill the screen. This would cause slight distortion on the video.
- Zoom the video to fill the screen. This causes you to lose a tiny bit on the top/bottom of the image, and might result in a tiny tiny bit of loss-of-clarity. But the video remains properly proportioned and unskewed. You can zoom in on YouTube videos with a pinch gesture to see this in action.
I'm sure that some more apps will likely adapt similarly to YouTube, but it may take some time.
As we all know this phone has an aspect ratio of 2.22:1 and we can't watch in this full resolution because most videos and ganes are in 16:9 ratio and some in 2:1 which leaves some black bars on the ends. What I would like to ask is if there is anyway we could fully utilise the display and watch or play in the entire screen resolution or in the 2.22:1 ratio. Edit viewing ratio manually in youtube netflix etc.. and some games
Well what I do sometimes is expand it manually on my N10+.
With different aspect ratios sometimes you need to adapt. At least use a browser that keeps the end bars black. The Samsung browser is my primary vid viewer.
