When it says that Display = 34%, does it means that display was used 34% of the 20 hours and 31 minutes that the device was on battery, or does it means that Display used 34% of the battery ?
If the latter is correct, how can I know how much time the display was ON during a certain discharge period ?
Thanks !
BATTERY TOTAL DISCHARGED OR TOTAL AMOUNT OF CHARGE USED.
Say battery in those 20 hours has used 20% of its total charge .
Readings show of that 20% display has used 34% of the total charged used .
jje
The percentage shows the share of battery CHARGE consumed by the screen. To see how many actual hours your screen was actually on, just tap on that line of information.
Is this what you were asking?

Yes, that's exactly what I've asked for. Thanks!
Wow now that I see my screen time it's unbelievable. It was ON just 1 hour and 50 minutes, and I'm down at 25% battery. I don't understand how people say they get 4-5 hours of screen time...
Probably because they don't have "talk box". No idea what it is or does but it (probably) drains your battery way to much.

OP, we get good display time and decent battery life if we use lowest brightness and carefully watch what apps we install and how we use them. Plus you need to have good coverage so your phone is not constantly looking for better signal.
See a couple of my old screen shots attached.

So you use screen brightness constantly on lower setting ?, but I didn't have to do it with older phones, I don't understand why I need to do it with OLED screen which suppose to be energy efficient.

energy efficiency is marketing gimmick. most people in the know like OLED only because of colors.
Samsung CAN EASILY confirm energy efficiency claim by comparing the screen to a run-of-the-mill LCD by having both screens displaying a 100% black image. OLED would be sipping power in this mode, while LCD will be gobbling the up (relatively speaking).
If you make the two screens show WHITE image, OLED will eat n-times more power than LCD.
In average use, displaying darker images on half-brightness, LCD eats more than OLED.
The brighter your OLED is, the more power it eats, because the brightness/light is produced by the PIXELS and they want power to shine brighter.
LCD - the light is not produced by the pixels themselves, it is coming form a single backlight behind the screen. So no matter what image the screen displays, black or white, the backlight still eats the same power.
Make sure you decrease brightness in the browser, set background to BLACK in book reader apps, set darker backgrounds for the home screens, etc. In general avoid having the screen on full brightness. That also helps with potential image burn in.
I use full brightness only when I am outside.

yeah dont fall for the marketing lies. AMOLED screens in my opinion use way MORE power than LCD screens. sure black color is where it saves power, but in virtually no place do we ever see black backgrounds. we see white web pages 99.99999% of the time using our phones. so the savings of OLED are useless.

I think autobrightness is decent - but I prefer to have more control of my brightness, because I do not like it jumping up and down depending on my position in the same chair or couch.
I like constant backlight, and I adjust it manually using that status bar trick (tap and hold on the top of the screen, where the status bar is, and then move your finger left or right on an "invisible slider" to adjust brightness).
In MOST indoor situations, lowest brightness is just perfect for me.
Sometimes it is even too much. For example when I walk home at night, and I get an email, I read it for a seocnd while walking, and then I look back at my path and I can't see well for a couple of seconds, because the phone light blinded me
We definitely needs some oled friendly browsers ,watching a movie on the S2 is just a joy, no backlight bleeding

You dont need to do that man.....the only way you're going to get burnt images is if you left you're screen on full brightness and had a static image (in the same spot) for weeks and never turned you're screen off....do what you want with it, you bought the phone and spent the money, enjoy it. It will be fine!
I'm not worried about burn in, but I do run a solid black wallpaper to save on battery life. My widgets and icons are the same as they would be on any other phone though, so it probably only saves minimal battery. But I like the black background anyways

OP, black wallpaper is great for reducing AMOLED battery life consumption. All of your icons decrease battery life, as well, but minimally. You can change the icon color of you want, it'll make a minimal difference.

I do have a bar on my captivates screen where the notification bar is. Only really noticeable on a white or light background while in a fullscreen app of course, and not at all terrible or distracting. Either way, I'll be making no effort on my s2 to prevent it from possibly happening again.
i've mad the opposite concession. I know i'll have sucky battery life but I just reduce game play, syncing etc. and have that beautiful screen up to full brightness all the time with a particularly colorful backround. It gets a ridiculous amount of attention every where i go. People litereally ask me about it all the time. Its awesome I love it , then again this is my first super amoled screen i can't help but be in awe.

Like it was mentioned above, black screens are better for AMOLED screens. A regular screen has to turn on pixels to show black. In an AMOLED screen, the pixels are just turned off to show black. Thus, the more black on your screen, the more power you're saving.

Love those icons! Where did you get it?
Black glass, sense glass, and probably some of the other glass themes for ADW.
I didn't buy this phone with this amazing screen to only use black backgrounds and gray icons!
The colors on this screen are simply amazing! Use it! If your screen gets burnt-in in two years, who cares? You have to enjoy what you have. In two years you probably feel worse about not having the Galaxy S4 than having minor burn-in problems somewhere in the screen...
And as far as the battery usage:
Most of the battery usage is not generated by the home screen. Really, who spends hours per day viewing their homescreen? Most of the usage comes from the system itself, phone calls, games, web browsing, etc.
If you generate 5 minutes extra battery life by having dark-gray icons, i'd be surprised!
The only thing that makes sense is changing to a solid black status bar.
And it takes way less than two years to burn in.

I think your ok I was concerned before doing research. I read quite a bit also called a friend who works at at&t. My conclusion was don't dock it with a clock or desktop app or mod, and don't leave it on 24/7.

This is not meant to be a thread about me asking whether I should return my phone. Has anyone else noticed that the top half of.the display is warmer (color temp-wise) than the bottom half? It's certainly not a major yellowing but on a white background it can be seen. Any thoughts?
Return it if it bothers you so much....j/k, can't see it on mine, could it be the light leakage from the leds for the red buttons?
Sounds defective to me.

No problems here. Screen is so much better than the AMOLED screens.

don't know. Yeah post a pic but pulling up my dialer, which has lots of white, the top and bottom look very purely white.
Just checked mine out. No problems here. May want to swap it.
Ugh. I haven't posted 8 times yet.
I appreciate all of the replies. What I'm talking about is pretty subtle, so I'll be curious to see your reactions to the pic.
I hate to do this, but I would like to post an image.
Here's a pic of my screen using "Screen Test".
http://db.tt/f7U6CK7Y
You can see that it is warmer on the left (top half of screen)
Eh, mine does it a little but not enough to make a fuss about it, barely noticeable.
People are too picky about things. Nothing's going to be 100% perfect.
Not major but it is interesting to look at these manufacturing quirks. Having said that, Nexus has some "quirks" in its display that I found unacceptable. Yet most people don't even bay an eyelash.

Not seeing it. When you say top half of screen do you mean based on landscape or based on the phone's top? The color bar on the half with numbers 3 & 4 is more saturated.
I downloaded that app and mine looks just like yours. I don't see any problem except for that saturation but I don't notice that on anything else so I have to guess that's the way that image is already. I've looked at the white screen and the grey screen as well. Perhaps there's a very, very slight lightness at the very edges of the screen but nothing that looks really wrong.

I meant top half of the display if it was in portrate mode. That's a little confusing since my pic is in landscape. My sense of it is that the "1" and "3" side, or what would be the top of the screen, is warmer. If I'm looking at a page of text on a white background and I watch a spot as I scroll it up toward the top of the display it will get warmer the higher it moves.
Basically what I'm saying is that the bottom of my display has a higher color temperature than the top, and it sounds like that's pretty consistent with other Rezounds. Overall, I don't think there's a better display out there.
I just checked with Screen Test. I notice your key lights are on in your pic. I wonder if leak from the LEDs down there are making it a bit cooler. On mine, I can just maybe barely hallucinate the light leak on a black background it if I'm testing it in the dark but I still think it looks different than your pic.
Your screen is warmer from the top until about 1/6 of the way down where mine would be cooler from the bottom until maybe 1/10 of the way up. I don't know if there's any potential optical illusion going on but I would guess you have some backlight nonuniformity issue. Maybe try it in different kinds of ambient light and see if it looks anything like leakage from the bottom keys.

So, if I'm understanding you the two displays are similar in that they're warmer at the top and cooler at the bottom?
If my past experience with LCDS they seem to have had had less variation across the panel.

I think what s/he's saying is that the capacative button LEDs are on so they leak a bit of light onto the bottom of the screen. You can download Screen Filter and turn them off and see if you still feel the screen is cooler at the bottom. And yes, they felt their screen looked different than yours but that it could be an optical illusion?
Okay now I'm wondering if I'm seeing it on my screen as well so I took screenshots, rotated one of them and putting then up side by side to see if it could be an optical illusion based on there bring different shades of grey nearby.
Well they didn't come up side by side as another post of mine since they're bigger for some reason, but anyway, you can see the dark grey squares of both butted up against each other and they look the same. I agree the white circles around the numbers seem different but perhaps that's the image from the test and not the screen?

XP owners have the brightest screen on the market (867 cd/m²).
Other phones are nowhere near this (Iphone4s 485, onex 450, sii 256, gnex 135) and all this is, thanks to the MagicWhite technology. But XP is criticized for it's poor blacks.
I don't have detailed knowledge about what i'm going to yammer about. But stick with me, it might become interesting.
With LED backlit screens, it is theoretically possible to have very high contrast ratios. Cause unlike CCFL screens you have a white LED behind each pixel and if the hardware design allows you to get a reference to each backlight LED, you should be able to control the backlight for each pixel and have them turned off behind black pixels and maximize their brightness behind the white ones. something like what you get with SuperAMOLED screens.
Pros probably answer that we don't have access to each subpixel on the backlight panel. But with WhiteMagic it has to be different. cause it's not just a panel of LEDs all of which have to have the same amount of brightness. It's a fourth subpixel in the main panel if i'm not misunderstood by Sony saying "WhiteMagic adds a 4th white sub-pixel – traditional LCD screens have three; red, green and blue – to the Reality Display."
So?
So we must be able to have great blacks. It seems to me when i maximize my brightness, that blacks also get a lot brighter. When the fourth white subpixel must be used only for making pixels brighter considering the amount of brightness they already have.
This is probably a modification in the kernel layer.
Pictures might make it more interesting for noobs like me:

You can see that backlight layer here doesn't have a static brightness per pixel. There are four masks being presented to the screen here: Red layer, green layer, blue layer and last but not least the white layer. Although this just demonstrates what i said about any LED backlit display. There's a lot more than this to our MagicWhite display.
p.s sorry if my english doesn't feel english.
Poor blacks on any LCD is the result of light passing trough crystals. In addition to that Sony opened another hole for light to pass, so maybe that is a reason why you have poor blacks.

partialy true. there are multiple reasons we're not getting a black black.
there is this gap between the glass and the lcd panel that causes reflection. this is solved in xperia z.
there could be other polarizing layers to reduce reflection. like what we have in Nokia's Clear Black LCD Displays. they offer blacks like sAMOLED blacks.
but that is all hardware stuff and there's nothing we can do about it.
i'm talking about what could probably be done with the hardware that is already in our hands.
Correction !!!
There wont be each white LED behind each pixel in LED backlit LCD's , for whole LCD there will be 8 ,9 .... White LED's.
to understand clearly look at this edge LED's in LCD
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...cklight.JPG/800px-IPod_Touch_2G_Backlight.JPG
but in Xperia p LCD WhiteMagic there is a fourth subpixel in the main panel . because of this the white dominates the whole and decreases the contrast whereas in ordinary Backlit LED LCD the white LED's is behind LCD panel , i think

Wikipedia said:
Three types of LED may be used:
- White-edge LEDs around the rim of the screen, using a special diffusion panel to spread the light evenly behind the screen (the most common use)
- LED array behind the screen, whose brightness is not controlled individually
- Dynamic “local dimming” array of LEDs, controlled individually (or in clusters) to achieve a modulated backlight pattern

and you are talking only about the first type.
And none of them have LED for each pixel.

Talking about all 3
ok it's not an led per pixel but it's not 8 or 9 leds in all three types.
anyway, f*&$ backlit led screens! i didn't say LED Backlit's LED potential, i said MagicWhite technology's magic potential, and i guess we all agree that there's a white subpixel per pixel in this type of display.
so let's not be off topic. i just think the blacks shouldn't be this bright with the brightness maximized if it's a result of that fourth subpixel.
Mine looks a bit like the image on the left, and I am just wondering if this is very common and it would take multiple returns to get a better display.

It looked really bad and that way (like a paper texture) on my display when using the battery saver when turning down the display resolution to lower brightness levels (on LG Stock ROM).
This was something I noticed quite heavily at the beginning when getting the device.
HOWEVER
I haven't seen this on non-Stock firmwares so far, even in lower brightness.
Looks like it could be an effect of power saving measures on Stock firmware which exposes the grainyness of the Diamond Pentile Matrix of the display more
The same thing happens to me while using the cameras in low light. Is this not an issue with all units?
Edit: This goes away completely if the brightness is above 50%

I can confirm that as well, high brightness eliminates the bloching, especially in dark gray tones. however, something even more weird, brightness of 25% or lower can make some shades of gray completely disapear! they simply turn to black!

Just checked with a YouTube reviewer. He says that this is a known issue with all LG poled displays (v30, v30s and Pixel XL). So replacement won't really help me.

Got my replacement phone and it's still just as bad, I love the phone otherwise but the screen is terrible and it's hard to get over it. The low brightness and yellow-ish colors(White mainly) I could tolerate but not these noisy sandpaperish display. Don't wanna deal with more returns and stuff so back to Essential phone.
The grainy display only is on grey backgrounds on low brightness and is completely gone if I increase the brightness a bit. I can deal with that for a display this good. BTW my hardware version is displayed as v1.1, maybe you should get that.

Mine is a hw version 1.1 and I see grainy/blotchy greys at brightness under 40%.
V40 may have fixed this but it has a notch. Maybe I'll upgrade if the v50 is a fullview display.

Hello all,
Last night I watched a show on my tablet in total darkness and noticed some weird banding which I thought was caused by the video itself but then I checked with the other apps and it was clear that it wasn't the video but the screen itself. Is my tab screen faulty? It's just over 3 weeks old for God's sake! Is anyone else experiencing the same issue or am I the only one?
Taken using night mode so as to highlighted the areas

This is what it looked like while watching
those look like window reflections. Make a drawing, fill the entire screen with solid black, do you still see the banding? Do you have blue light filter on? If you still see it and you don't have any filters and you're sure it's not reflections, return it.
At low Brightness with night mode on mine is a bit patchy but yours seems worse. If it bothers you I would exchange and see if you get better luck next time
mine is solid black no pathing
That looks faulty

Hi guys. Thanks for your comments. I tried disabling the blue light filter. Also, it was pitch black in the room with no reflection anywhere.
Spoke with Samsung and it's going to be replaced.

Lowest brightness with blue light filter on ?
Can't help you as far as the screen is concerned, but nice choice about watching Succession, season 2 has been great.

Lowest brightness yes. Blue light no. I never use that. I surely would never use with video
I watch on mine in dark, complete black the screen is, no bleed etc.
Return it.
Hmmm I'm noticing similar to mine now even without blue light filter and normal brightness
Hey guys. Just an update. It's a bit of a long story but the tl;dr version is that I have got a new Tab S6 today and guess what? The same screen-bleed issue but on a different part of the screen.

I phoned the Samsung shop team and they were extremely helpful and arranged a replacement. However, I am very disappointed with the quality control. Does anyone know how I can raise this with Samsung so that something would be done at a higher level i.e. maybe there is a faulty batch or something?
Is that right from a factory reset without installing or restoring any apps? I have to wonder at this point if it's some software, These are amoled screens, there shouldn't be any bleed, there's no backlight. While some pixels can definitely fail what you're seeing on 2 tablets seems highly unlikely not random across the screen. Only other thing I can think of is you have something putting undue pressure on parts of the screen.

No. The pictures above are of the replacement tablet. I hadn't had the chance to transfer my settings or anything so it's factory formatted. All I did was turn on night mode at night and start the dialer app as well as other Samsung apps. Even the keyboard is brighter on one side than the other. I asked the other half to look and point out anything odd and she spotted it straightaway.
The tablet was literally out of the box. Barely stayed out of the box for an hour and there was nothing else pressed against it at all.

It's not bleed it's just uneven tints on the screen, very common and annoying as heck.
wow I've never seen anything like that on an oled or amoled screen. I have the S2,S3, S4, note 8, note 10+ and LG Oled and never seen anything even close.
What you have with the white, doesn't surprise me as much as the black as with black the pixels should be OFF.
The mate 20 pro was plagued with green screens like that. I believe they were lg oleds

By the way it's not pure black backgrounds, more dark greys, mine is similar and I believe they will all have it to some degree, seems to be a short coming with oled..it's only noticeable when displaying certain types of greys, at very low brightness, even worse with blue light filter on
Somewhat similar to what I'm experiencing, uneven black levels from corner to corner.
I'll try and get a replacement from the retailer, they give 30 days to return items so it shouldn't be an issue hopefully.
It's not awful, but once you notice it, you always notice it.
I have also the same, verry annoying. And for that price i espect something that works.
