I am wondering if there is a way to remove the blueish tint that the screen has. The Nexus S 4g had an issue with screen tint and someone devised a tool (voodoo) to alter the gamma, but I think the tool was tied into that particular kernel.
Thanks.

So I guess no one knows then?

Source was just released so assuming devs are playing around with it id expect to see kernels soon. Once a kernel is cooked up i would imagine one awesome soul would attempt to make a "voodoo" like tool that plays well with pentile displays....

OK guys just got my vibrant, yay. But everything has a blue tint to it. Even things that I know are white have a blue tint. Anyone else have the effect and can I stop it. Thanks.

Honestly i dont notice the blue tint. Maybe its because Im parrially colorblind lol.

Even the home page to Google has a little blue in it. I'm going to compare this phone to a phone in a tmo tomorrow.

It's a product of the amoled technology. The blue in the pixels wears out at a much faster rate than the others so they add extra blue as a way to counter act that. It should go away with time.

I'm a new Thunderbolt owner coming from the Evo, and it seems as though the colors on the TB are less vibrant than my Evo. The whites seem as though they are muted a bit or have a purple-ish gray tone to them. Anyone else notice this?
Thx

Your screen is either messed up, or you aren't seeing things clearly. If your TB looks worse than your EVO I would take it back and request a new one.
Right on, thanks...
Is it possible that it's not one of the Samsung screens, I have heard the new ones HTC has are not as bright?
I will take it to the store tomorrow if anything, for piece of mind..

Maybe you're just looking for things that are wrong with it? I don't know. I came from a droid so it's a big improvement for me.
The thunderbolts screen uses warm color settings.

Thanks! That helps... I'm not looking for anything wrong with it at all, I just want to be sure that I don't have a defective one, because while in the store the rep had a hell of a time getting the sim card to take and give me 3G.
Also, I wanted to make sure it was good before I root it...

Samsung are S-AMOLED, which is LED and is brighter and more vibrant than LCD.
You sure it's not just the auto brightness dimming the screen?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Or if you have one of those anti fingerprint screen protectors it will greatly diminish screen quality and brightness
The Tbolt doesn't have SLCD

Just curious is this. possible to change or fix? I just came from using a nexus s and flashed the matrix kernel making my screen have more contrast and look less washed out , so my request or question is can u change the screen settings on the photon by flashing a kernel and give it more contrast?
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Maybe when the devs have the chance to dug into it. Our after market kernels right now are in their infancy.
Edit: btw this thread will probably be moved ti general. The developers do check those threads too. But the dev threads are generally specific to mods that someone has made.

O OK I see yea the photon doesn't have as much supposrt be nice to see the things devs come out with tho and yea that's fine don't care where it's moved just figured I'd get my thought and there and see if there's anyone wondering what I am thanx for the response man

i doubt it, the reason why it worked on the nexus s was because of the led nature, this is lcd so all you can control is the brightness of teh backlight. wheres on the amoled/samoled screens you can control each pixel

What about the black crush issue? Would that fixable via software?
I thought our screens were led...
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
as far as i knew we are using a SLCD with the pentile matrix display
There has to be a way to modify this color. Can't accept this as it is.

Would it be possible to incorporate a port of voodoo color mod into one of our current custom kernels?

Voodoo is for amoled screens only. We don't have the levels of adjustment that amoleds have available.

My screen is so contrasty I can't believe you feel it is washed out.
And it is so much brighter than my nexus...
My screen does look washed out. Compared to my epic 4g. Lol. The color looks saturated...and..uhh washed out
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
I agree with ronnienyc it does have a lot of contrast but it is also a little less color than my nexus s. I think we could lower the contrast tho its a qhd screen and every screen must have an option to change hue contrast and sharpness right?
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
What I don't like about the nexus and epic screens is that they are over saturated and skin tones look red or orange.
Any new news? this really has to be fixed.. cant even enjoy pics in your gallery they look so weird.
I have small light leakage on the side of my phone I have never dealt with this before and would like to know if it will get worse (very small at the moment). Also if I want to get it fixed could they just replace the panel/screen or would I have to get a whole new phone?

Everyone, well most people love this phone except the screen! While its still a great screen it just has some weird things goin on with it that you notice immediately cause your not use to it, though i dont notice it at all anymore.
I wanted to give this phone some credit for the fact that i keep the brightness OFF and can still easily see even in the sunlight! That's a very first for me! And i LOVE it for battery reasons.

Low isnt really low, there are apps that can drop it much lower

The screen definitely isn't perfect, but it's pretty good. Coming from an EVO 4G, the screen is definitely an improvement.
Although some would argue the Epic Touch 4G screen is superior, and it is in some ways, the over saturated colors on it are more off-putting to me than the Photon's.
i dont mind/care about pentile so thats a non-issue.. however i miss the bright vibrant colors of a samoled.. its one of the reason why the razr is possibly my fav phone on the market
p.s. to anyone who thinks we have nothing going on.. go check them out.. they dont have a stock sbf, no unlock, no roms, no kernels, no cwm, no way to restore back to anything.... oh and they have a leaked ota that has now locked a lot of people onto it which means without a way to write crap they CANNOT get future otas....
lol imagine you were so eager for the first bug fix ota that due to rushing/leaks it prevented you from being able to get the ics ota
I dont mind about the pentile either, i beARLy ever notice it, i mean i did at first but even then i was like.. still very good screen for a phone and never bothered me

It is for this reason that my first mission was to figure out why RSD lite wasn't working on my computer, and had to find aa way to get back to stock before doing anything else

I personally like the Pentile - accurate colors, bright and good outdoors. I've tried really hard, but my eyes just do not see the screen door effect on (at least) my particular device.
And - I was very prepared to hate it when I first walked in the store, after reading reviews
The Sammy screens get lots of mention because they have overly-saturated colors (similar to the effect you get when you turn a digital camera to its "Vivid" setting). And lots of people like artifical over-saturation..... As an amateur photog, I prefer accurate color rendition.

Exactly! Ive even read some reviews saying its slightly better than the amoled screen and i got a widget that would actually turn the brightness all the way down (cause stock doesnt as joker mentioned) and i can still see it perfectly with the sunlight facing it! I like the pentile screen all around, on hd games/movies it performs flawlessly. As you said, almost perfect colors.
