Does anyone know how to turn off the s20's adaptive display feature? (I'm not asking about adaptive brightness.) I'm on a US snapdragon, unlocked, regular S20. Thanks!
I am referring to:
"Samsung's adaptive super AMOLED screen optimizes the color range, saturation, and sharpness of the picture depending on what you're watching or doing."
https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00063051/
The vivid/natural, white balance, and advanced RGB settings mentioned in that link do NOT seem to impact the adaptive display feature. (And in fact, white balance and RGB settings don't seem to do anything at all... If anyone has thoughts about why THAT is, or how to make them actually have an effect, I'm interested.)
I have tried turning off dark mode completely, turning off the video enhancer, and turning off the dark mode on wallpaper, but the problem persists and impacts things like apps and pages in Chrome - basically everything.
If I look at my task switcher, app screens will often look the way I want them to in the preview, but when I click on one, after about a second the display adjusts and changes the image to something brighter, whiter, and less what I want. This is true whether adaptive brightness is on OR off.
I'm trying to use a screen filter to manually set the screen to the settings I need, and it feels like the screen is fighting the filter and countering it, and I think this business with the adaptive display optimizing color and saturation could be the problem. Or if you have other ideas for the source of the problem, I want to hear them.
Any help is appreciated!

they removed the option to close adaptive display since Note 9 starting from s10 it is always on and can't be disabled

It was something like attached picture on Note 9
Ah hah! I think I figured out a solution to my problem (which was that the whites were too blue and bright and vivid as compared to everything else on the screen, no matter what settings I used on Twilight or another screen filtering app). For anyone who comes after me with a similar issue: the native blue light filter doesn't JUST turn on/off - it has an opacity setting which you can find and adjust by clicking on "blue light filter" in your display settings menu, to the left of the on/off toggle switch. Turning it all the way up (to the right) tones down the whites and blues without impacting the rest of the colors on the screen, which for me at least creates a much better color display ratio.

Is there currently a hack, custom ROM, or other way to prevent the screen from dimming way down when on screens with lots of white (like the email/Outlook screen). Even when I have brightness set to "HIGH" and Auto to "OFF", all the other screens are really bright. But when I go to the email screen (or any other app that has a white background), the Focus automatically dims it way down. I'm sure this is to save battery or eye-strain on white screens, but I'd like it to be much brighter if possible.
Thanks!
Yeah, It's look hard but I want it on my HD7 too.
because the auto-brightness on WP7 was not smart so much compare to the other.
It's not give the lowest brightness when enter into the dark room (that's hurt my eye) and not bright enough when enter into the sunlight.
Nope. It's programmed into the pentile display driver. Total deal-breaker for me.

The auto-brightness setting in WP7 adjusts a screen's brightness based only on the ambient light sensor. The Focus and Omnia 7 dim their screen if they're displaying a majority of white pixels, even with auto-brightness off and set to high.
Switch to the white theme. It happens so frequetly now that I don't even register it!
OK, so that's not a solution but give it a go, it bugged the hell out of me at the start but now ive forgotten it even does it.
I understand why they've done it, but really it should follow the brightness setting if they're worked about battery life.

There's a couple of options in the camera app that aren't entirely self-explanatory. Anyone able to shed any light?
Anti-shake: The manual says, "reduces image blur due to the movement of the subject of the photo or hand movement." Any ideas why this is disabled by default? Are there any downsides to reducing shake?
Auto contrast: The manual says, "provides a clear image even under backlight circumstances where intensity of illumination can vary excessively." Does anyone have any idea what this is doing? Is this HDR?
Outdoor visibility: The manual says, "allows you to take better pictures when outdoors." Anyone know if this does anything besides just make the screen colors brighter?
Anyone have any ideas?
Anti-Shake is an option to use to help reduce the effects of the camera moving while shooting a picture. I see no downsides to enabling it unless you like blurry pictures. It might reduce battery life a tiny bit more while using the camera.
Think of it as mouse smoothing in games, if you do that sort of thing.
Auto contrast is a nice feature (if it works well) that adjusts the pictures light levels in case of a dark subject and a bright background, or vice versa. It should help to make a better overal balanced picture.
Outdoor visibility has to do with the LCD screen itself. If you are outside on a bright day you want that on. It makes sure the backlight is on full and the colors are bright so you can more easily see the screen.
Hi all. I've seen this feature in the first note and now I see it again.
Adjusting tone save the energy saver based on image analysis
Is this option really make a difference?

No 10 posts so sorry for link
I always have it set to off. I had it on but never noticed any difference. My guess is that if you are looking at a very colorful image, prolly the screen will lighten more up or over-saturate the colors to look nicer. Maybe even the brightness who knows.
According to a cnet article:
" There's another adjustment on the Note 2 to that significantly affects picture quality. Samsung applied the cryptic moniker "Auto adjust screen tone" (AAST) to a check box at the bottom of the Display menu. Uncheck it and the phone's full light output capabilities are unshackled, nearly doubling its contrast ratio and improving its ability to compete with ambient light. Turning off AAST also improves color accuracy slightly. "
Seems like changes the colour tone of brighter colours to reduce their brightness.
I keep it on since I like milder screens.
If you prefer low brightness and want to save power , keep it on.
If you find yourself using high brightness often, turn it off.

Thanks you for info.
Is there a way to brighten the ambient display, such as the clock and notifications that appear? I can barely see it in the sun. I had no problem seeing my moto z play in the sun.

If you go into settings / display there is a brightness slider that you can use to manually set the screen at a brighter level. I'm not sure if that recalibrates the base Android uses in its ambient settings or not. If you just are used to a brighter screen and find that the ambient setting continues to make the screen dimmer than you like after using the slider you can just turn the ambient display feature off entirely. I personally like the feature but a lot of people don't and just turn it off.
There are also apps in the Play Store that allow you to manually adjust the screen brightness without going into the settings menu, if you want to have easier control over it.

I know that the AOKP ROM allows alot of modifications to the ambient display brightness settings. Other ROMs may do the same but I know and use the settings on AOKP. It's a very good ROM! Native settings don't have the options.
AOKP and Pixel Dust are the two roms I know of that have this option.
You don't need a ROM to kick in higher brightness on auto brightness.
Just root and install ElementalX kernel or one based on it.
Then install this widget and once toggled, it will give you way more max brightness on auto brightness.

I noticed that my wife's phone has significantly brighter ambient display. They have identical settings as far as I can tell. So I'm not sure but I would love to find out the answer cause I want mine brighter too
Go to advanced display settings and toggle off the option to wake the screen with new notifications, then turn off the lift to view gesture. Your ambient display should brighten significantly.
Which display setting do you use (screen calibration)
I use sRGB. Everything else just looks like a psychedelic color-fest.
Using DCI3
P3. Better color range and suits my hd
video needs and helps display every color my camera captures. wonder how adaptive mode does tho
Just default with the temp set a little cooler
I'm using adaptive my self. I found default too saturated for my tastes and both srgb and dci-p3 caused yellowish whites. Adaptive has neither issue for me.
Edit - switched to dci-p3 after a few days and qiickly getting used to the warmer whites. Adaptive changed before my eyes a few times and it was a little jarring tbh.
