[Q] Display colors not realistic

Hi guys -
I just upgraded from the Cappy to the Galaxy S2 on AT&T. The phone looks and feels great, but I noticed the colors on the screen are not realistic in some apps. The wallpaper on the homescreen & lock screen looks amazing, but the pictures I take with the camera, and the colors in some of the game apps (i.e. Hanging with Friends) look very different. The colors are over-saturated and dark. I've never had this issue on the Cappy, and was wondering if anyone else had similar problems? I searched online and found the international version has a display mode option setting, which is non-existent on the i777. I tried using the Screen Adjuster app, but it didn't help an awful lot.
Took a screen capture with the phone, but the colors look normal there. Would need to borrow another phone or camera to take a picture...and then will post pics as a side by side comparison on what the screen captures.
Anyone else have this problem and/or know how to fix it?

I assume you are running a stock ROM - if so, I believe Samsung defaults the screen mode to "dynamic" and got rid of the option to select other modes (normal and movie) in their ROMs. Most (possibly all) of the custom ROMs on this forum add that selection option back. menu>display>screen mode.

Thanks for the quick response! Yea, I'm still on stock ROM...was thinking of rooting and flashing to a custom one soon. Will report back results of the display after. Thanks again!

Secondscreen app

Hi guys..i need help using the second screen app. Anyone happens to use this app? I can't seem to make my screen turn off while casting on tv. I can make the screen dims to its lowest brightness but not turn off.

How to use only the second screen?

Is there any way to use only the second screen? I am not talking about muting the main screen by lowering the brightness through the dual screen tool, I mean just use the second screen.
Yes actually there is. It's kind of a workaround but I'm working on an app for it. Since it's an OLED display, pure black with no action on touch is essentially the same as screen off, though gestures will still work. I will post the APK here when I finish the app. In the meantime, download or create a png or jpg file that's just pure black, a black square essentially, of any resolution. Open it in your stock Gallery app on the main screen and click on it to make it go full screen. This doesn't disable touch but it will essentially turn off your primary screen even while actively using the second screen.

Nice! I have been doing the gallery trick but the picture tools and the status bar still show up.
Wow I'm really pumped now.

Sweet, sounds cool!
Use black screen app
Also rgb for selfie light
I use the Black Screen app as well. Especially useful when watching landscape video on second screen. Plus it's accessible as a toggle in quick settings.
