Okay, so as the title says, the screen on my VZW GS4 seems to be changing the hue depending on what colors are being shown on different parts of the screen. For example, when I get a text and the little green icon pops up in my notification bar, the whites on the screen darken, and as soon as the icon is gone, they go back to normal.
The same thing happens in the youtube app. When playing full screen videos colors get lighter (and more unrealistic) and then when I click on the screen and the pause button and other menu buttons shows up, the colors darken and become more realistic.
I've turned Adapt Display off and this happens whether it in Dynamic, Standard, or any other of the display modes. I've also turned off Auto Adjust Screen Tones and this still continues to happen. This is very noticeable when the phone is set to the lowest brightness.
Anyone know why this might be happening or know a possible solution? Also, I realize I posted this in the Q&A section, but I only got one reply and figured I'd just post it here to get more attention to this.
There is an option under display to adjust the screen for images. Go under display settings and go all the way down and you'll see it.

I think you mean Auto Adjust Screen Tones, which is already disabled and this still happens. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

As the title says my GFs 10.1 will go full brightness at random times. Only way to change it back is to go into setting. The slider is all the way down but have to slide it to full then back down. Any ideas guys?
The fix is: Go TO SETTINGS, SCREEN, AUTO ADJUST SCREEN POWER, UNCHECK. Thanks bd85!

I have had this issue as well when using auto brightness function. Only when viewing photo albums. Very annoying. I no longer use the auto brightness function now. Little issues like this drive me crazy. Add this to the keyboard lag and other small issues and i start to question the purchase.
Thankfully i found this site to help me realize its not just me...misery loves company. Lol.
Have you guys tried to shut off the option in setting that's can analyze the screen color and more and the adjust the screen for power savings.
I have noticed what you are mention. And it only appears in movie's because the picture change often so the tab tried to compensate the colors often.
Go TO SETTINGS, SCREEN, AUTO ADJUST SCREEN POWER, UNCHECK.
And I am not talking about the auto brightness that you can access from clicking on the lower right part of your screen

That seemed to be it. Didn't think to check that since the Xoom doesn't have that setting. One thing i wish the xoom had was the whole different wallpaper for lock screen thing the 10.1 has.
Just wondering where the light sensor is? When I have it on automatic the light doesn't seem to stay the same brightness. My assumption is that I'm covering the sensor by accident but I can't find it. I'm sure I'm missing something simple.
If you look next to the camera under solar conditions and at a certain angle, you'll see it to the left.
Thanks! I think I see where it is but my hand never goes over it (if it's across the top like I think your description says. I may just find a light level I like and lock it. The periodic fading and brightening is starting to make me crazy...
Just turn off Auto-Brightness. xD Simple~

When lights are fading around me, I just lie down and go to sleep. But fun aside: I have noticed that some P7510's are more agressive in the auto-levels than others. There should be a few (5-10) seconds delay before the level-handler kicks in.
Indeed, as jdto mentiones, if it bothers you, just switch the auto off.
"Simple comme bonjour" as the french would say.
Thanks all. Auto is now off.
The periodic fading may be caused by the "Auto adjust power" in Settings - Display. You could always uncheck this option and turn on auto brightness, this is what I have done.

so I've got the screen set to dynamic for the color mode and i unchecked the adjust screen tone thing, but whenever I have a white background, the screen actually dims the white.. so it's not pure white. it will lower the screen brightness a tad and it's weird.
I do not use auto brightness, either. it's set at a constant 40 percent. this must be a power saving feature, though, and power saver is OFF. any ideas what it could be or if it's just a feature?

Yeah, I get the same issue, and I have all of my settings set the way you mentioned, except I have my screen on "Standard" display. It's very annoying to say the least! Hopefully we will get a custom rom that will address this issue!

this is starting to annoy me... when on a bright screen the phone is changing the brightness to a lower amount randomly... it makes no sense and it doesn't do it consistently... it'll just start getting lower every time I come back to a white screen.... but then outta nowhere on that same screen it went back to normal brightness. auto brightness is off and so is that change screen tone thing. I don't get it?

I bought another s4 earlier this week, and noticed a strange occurrence. Every so often, on different apps, the screen will go to more of a red tone. I found by adjusting the brightness, I can make it go to this red tone. Of course, when I try to screen shot the red, it shows up normal in the gallery. Its kinda like the blue drops out of the color wheel and red gets boosted. Is the display bad or is there some weird setting that got messed with?

Do you have Settings > Display > Screen mode > Adapt Display checked? I believe stock is Standard. There's also Settings > Display > Auto adjust screen tone. Try playing with those and see if this effect you're seeing goes away.
Yeah, I tried playing with those first thing, but didn't seem to help. I could still force the red tone by adjusting brightness

Purchased new or used? If new, I might consider returning for a replacement.
Used, from cl. It only does it if I move the brightness, or set it to automatic. I dont know if its hardware or software related, so ive tried running the me7 deodexed rom (still on mdk) and the same issue is there.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
so i figured starting a general thread for bugs and issues would be a better idea to consolidate everything into one thread!
I've got the Verizon G2, so it would be interesting to see if other carriers have the same issue. These are all, for the most part, software issues.
for me, its:
1.) Launcher Redraw.
video example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gpn-hZnEPqg (ending shows homescreen launcher lag too)
I've posted a video yesterday, and will be posting another today showing how after almost every app, the launcher is redrawing, and therefore causes lag if you goto switch screens after hitting home. doesn't always do it, but does for the majority of the time. it does it enough that it warranted me rooting the phone to try to fix it, so I'm going to give v6 supercharger a go soon and do the bulletproof launcher. I'm apprehensive though because we don't have recovery to make a nandroid...
2.) *solved*Lag on notification drop down on lock screen
video example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLWUXOu68d8
did you set your wallpaper to non scrolling? if you didn't know you can do this, you can. if you goto gallery and select a custom wallpaper, at the top it gives the option of non scroll or scroll, which is awesome. however, beware.. when you do non scroll, for some weird reason your notification drop down will lag in the home screen. setting it back to scrolling wallpaper alleviates this. very weird
3.) Audio during video recording.
video example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oU6Sp5V5Hv0 (also shown is the "breathing" auto focus we all experience.)
The audio during video recording uses noise cancelling mics, which can be good as we've seen in other flagship phones. however, on the g2, they sound identical to the htc rezound from 2011. that phone had really bad wishy washy underwater sounding audio when the source was remotely loud. the g2 does the same thing sadly. other phones, such as the htc dna (shows that htc learned their lesson..) and the gs3/gs4 do not have this issue.. hell, even the galaxy nexus didn't.
I'm hoping that once we get developers on it, they'll make a modified camera that can allow for either the reduction in gain from the microphones, or to be able to cancel the noise cancellation to stop the underwater sound. on the rezound, htc somewhat fixed it with the ics update. here's hoping LG will do the same.
4.) Speaker has built in limiter/compression.
this is most annoying because i like listening to music on the speaker. sounds good but the thing is its being compressed and limited at a certain level, so you don't actually hear the best quality of the song. for example if the drums get really loud, it compresses and limits them down to your volume level, which takes away intensity of the song and just doesn't make it sound even. hoping to find a setting to turn this off...
5.) screen brightness changes with Auto brightness off depending on what's on the screen.
video example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slwkFhpiYbs&feature=youtu.be
this is that content adaptive brightness crap that they forced on the phone. it changes based on more whites or more blacks on the screen, then dims and brightens accordingly. it's incredibly annoying and there's currently no way to turn it off. in titanium i found an app called content adaptive back light and then i removed it.. it still does it.
what issues are you having with it?
Sent from my LG G2 using Tapatalk 4
my wallpaper doesn't scroll and when I pull the notification bar down I don't have any lag.
I'm gonna post the video when i get home from work. it does it every single time I have non scrolling on the stock launcher, and once I switch to scrolling, it's smooth again. remember, this is on the lockscreen.

- Knock knock works 70-80% on the 1st try. Being a huge selling point of this device and something I use ALL the time I would like this to work 100%
1. There is a headphone CPU noise issue when charging. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448854
2. Transparency for status bar/soft buttons only seems to work for stock wallpapers.
I will remember a few more little ones in time.

Really? when i was playing with the verizon version. the homescreen/app drawer was still transparent with a wallpaper i had downloaded from goodfon.com. when you went to apps it went away. but kept at transparent on the ones i stated. i guess i'll find out tomorrow when my G2 arrives.

Yes this is unfortunate and unreliable. I wonder if an update can fix this. They may worried about it being too sensitve.
On another matter, my Verizon version is prone to turning on the camera or note pad when in my pocket via the rear buttons. Even prone to turning on the phone when sitting on a table off because of the sensitivity of the rear buttons. Not sure if it is just the verizon model or both.

Your pic shows status bar shaded darker. I see truly transparent on stock wallpaper. There is a slight shading on bottom soft keys, but otherwise transparent.
Another thing I see -- transparent forces soft keys to be white regardless of what you select.
I got intermittent distortion with my Icon HD bluetooth headset during calls. Doesnt matter if the phone is in my pocket or just sitting on a desk next to me. This didnt happen with any of my previous phones (S4, One, Nexus)
Lock Screen Camera App Image?
Is this supposed to happen? If I start a swipe to unlock, the camera app image goes away, but then comes back...
Is this a shortcut to the camera? Usually if I swipe from an app on the bottom that is my shortcut.
yeah man swipe to the left to bring up camera like on stock android.

Where is that located?!?!?!?!? I keep seeing the an icon on the task bar that is a box with an eye in the corner and generally the brightness changes when it comes on, but I can't find any info on the icon. I think it might be that, not sure.
The issue I notice is when I get a text and click on it to go to the convo about 25% of the time it goes to the top of the thread and not the bottom where the most recent text is.....

I appreciate the reply but please check out a quick video I made. It seems like the camera is getting "trapped" on the screen after loading it, then the normal shortcut way doesn't work.

get quick shortcut maker and type in content adaptive.. and it'll come up. make a shortcut open the app, and turn it off.. tell me if you notice. because I turned it off, and it STILL did the annoying brightness change. then I deleted the app in titanium and it still does it anyway.
