Lower screen resolution - Moto Z Questions & Answers

It's there any way that we can lower the resolution of the screen, just like Samsung s8? I feel that there is really no reason, except for being battery hungry, to have 2k analysis on our devices...

Battery difference is negligible, Samsung likes to add features that are relatively small or worthless and hype them up.

I don't know if it is negligible if I can't use it. Also, samsung didn't hyped about it

I feel ya, Experience is almost always better than advice.
Youre still lighting up the same amount of pixels regardless of resolution. The only way you would see any battery increase is if the phones main purpose is gaming and videos 24/7. But for an average (or even some power users) there is no benefit.
And yes they kind of did, most samsung phones in verizon or best buy that loop a demo video showcasing and explaining features have a good 1 1/2 minute clip telling you why it will save hours of battery over time without sacrificing visual appeal.
You can do a little research if you would like, start with reviews of samsungs implementation and if you still want to try it then you can do it via terminal emulator. The commands would be.....
"su" (gives root to terminal)
"wm size 1080x1920" (This changes the resolution, you may want to play with values)
"wm density 420" (This will change the dpi to make up for the lower res, and will help visual items retain their correct ratio)
DO NOT RUN THESE COMMANDS without understanding what they do, or that inputting a wrong resolution or dpi may damage your device or make it unusable. Search and search. Make sure your device can support the resolution and DPI values you want.
As always, backup before modifying any system values like this. Worst case scenario, you can reset your device back to stock and restore all your data

[Q] Touch sensitivity on galaxy s3 - modification

User of S3 i would appreciate if you can inform me whether there is any option to increase the touch sensitivity of S3. I read somewhere that ppl find it to be on a higher side but I find it less responsive. Anyway there should be an option that could reduce or increase the sensitivity or may be there is and I dont know about. Can anybody shed light on this
Dont think there is much toincrease. I did some tests on the touchscreen and it is the best screen I have ever seen.it's accurate up to one pixel and kids able to recognize up to ten different inputs.
Cause of the thinner glass of corning it's also more responsible than most other phones.the only thing that would increase the responsibility are better drivers.
Gesendet von meinem GT-I9300 mit Tapatalk 2
I'm also finding the touch sensitivity on the S3 a bit variable. Its super sensitive, almost overly so, over the back button area, so when I lean my thumb across the screen I frequently end up going back by accident. But sometimes when I touch other parts of the screen it just doesn't respond. At all. I have to try several times before it does anything.
It's worse in the browsers. I was using the stock browser but then added Dolphin to see if would help and its possibly not as bad, but is still a problem at times. It also happened yesterday when I was just killing time playing a game, which when you're in the middle of a game of jewels is just a tad irritating ;-).
I'm not new to the Galaxy S range. I had the first Galaxy s since July 2010 and my husband has the S2. So I know I'm not handling it wrong or anything.
Does anyone else have this problem? And is there not a way to adjust it? Or have I possibly got a faulty screen?
More of the same
I don't notice it too much but a friend of mine that also has an S3 says my touch-screen sensitivity is way higher than his... Could this be because I have ghost Armour and he doesn't?

mmmm it is pretty unlikely
I think they only need to decrease the sensitivity of the menu and back button but the touchscreen is perfect!

For those who aren't satisfied with the V20 screen color temp and reproduction

Check this out, I'm not saying its a cure all but it helps

Thanks. But where do we put it to get close to 6500k ±500. I say ± 500 because some like a slightly cooler screen and some prefer it warmer, and warmer is actually more natural and accurate. I've played around with it a few minutes and the 9000K is just too cool. Comfort view on medium without using this is closest I've gotten to a desired (actually more desirable, but still not ideal) color temp. Every body chime in where they're putting the circle cursor that they gives close to 6500k or thereabouts.
For those who don't know what comfort view is
Sent from my LG-H918 using Tapatalk
OK. Still playing with it but I think I have it close. With comfort view OFF, the screen was way too cool still. I was running medium comfort view already. I turned off comfort view and still couldn't find a happy place. So I turned it back on. I think some people will like it on medium if you like it a little cooler, and out it on high if you want it a little warmer and try it where I put my green circle at. YMMV though because who knows if LG sourced the same supplier, much less type of screen since this screen calibrated to crap for a very very flagship price. Let me know and see what you guys come up with.
Still hurts my eyes. I'm so used to my note4 still
Hmm.. Am I the only one who likes comfort view off? I'm coming from the note 7v and I still like it off. Why again do people want less blue? I find my screen whites to be really white with comfort view off. Why is that a bad thing? Lol

Because your colors and gamma are fubar'ed really bad. You want some semblance of color accuracy for the pictures you take. They look horrible and i mean absolutely horrid looking at the pics taken on the phone. You have to transfer them to a more accurate display to see what you have. There are other more important reasons, but they are rare. And there are less important reasons that I don't care to mention. And as is, the kelvin being so high will probably mess with your sleep patterns. Before and during. And then you have the problem of you and others seeing the same images but you might look like a fool when discussing the color of something. And then there is the fact, you should expect a somewhat decently calibrated display, especially from a company that specializes in displays. Samsung, lg and sharp should have calibrated displays ootb. They should also off some kind of CMS or at least presets to cater to people like you who don't expect a quality display and shrug it off as nothing and desirable. You are in the minority by far. Even apple who has nothing to with manufacturing displays pays a slight premium to have their displays calibrated before the phone is sold. At the very least we should be getting displays in the 6-7000k range which is ±500K from 6504K and a gamma of ±.2-.3 from 2.2. also, it would be nice to get a LCD than can display blacks lower than .02 luminance with lower brightness and less than .030 with higher or max brightness but that last part is more wishful thinking and reality dictates that around .04±.005 is more reasonable to expect. I wonder if some manufacturers goes out on a limb and makes a FALD display. It's feasible but would probably add too much thickness to a phone even if 1cm thick phones were the norm.
As an aside, I wish more phones were about 1cm thickness to accommodate bigger batteries, designs with passive cooling in mind like some recent Samsung flagships, better drop handling and quality control because everything is so crammed sometimes engineering doesn't take into consideration how everything will act in the real world in consumer hands. Thicker phones would give engineers more wiggle room to make better phones with bigger batteries and probably more innovation would come out instead of being held back or dropped altogether. I think many consumers have any idea the implications and far reaching depths of the tango phone. It is stuff like that that will make navigating easier among other things. And when holograms are in everybody's house tango phones will surely be a contributing factor into the foundation of the quality of those holograms. For now some of the data will probably be repurposed for VR.

Thing to bear in mind...
Just about no one IRL owns a color accurate display. Further just because they do in no way means their OS properly utilizes it. Windows of all flavors has for years has been renowned for this. Web browsers also almost all fail at color management too.
People live to squawk about accurate colors, tbh despite their best efforts, only photogs really ever pull it off whereas lay consumers almost never do.
Who on XDA owns a colorimeter? I rest my case.

Lol. Wrong. Samsung TVs are known for their color accuracy ootb. I calibrated my laptop display. Haven't bothered calibrating my Samsung JS9500 with tools and just used a disk because it only needed minor adjustment.
Photographers aren't the only one. Studios that make movies use calibrated displays. Professional calibrators use calibrated, and some even bring smaller monitors to show their customers what it will look like since the average consumer doesn't know how much it will affect what they're used to and the calibrator wants the customer to know what they're getting and not have to deal with angry customers who have no clue. And as I mentioned, I left some leniency on the color temp 6504K ±500 should suffice. The pics I've taken on my v20 look like garbage until I made the adjustments. Wouldn't you expect some reasonable color accuracy from your phone display? Especially phones that cost $600+? I definitely expect it from the v20 being an $800 phone. For those that night the pixel, pixel xl and 256GB iphone should expect no less than very very minor deviations. And colorimiters and spectrometers aren't too expensive for decent brands and can get a lot of noise as tv ages or hook up their friends. Light meters otoh can get expensive quick. The cheap ones aren't worth using on an amoled or FALD display. A cheap one would work with most smartphone displays just fine unless you're measuring below .02 I believe.
Is too much too ask for a closely calibrsted display? I mean geez. Smartphone OEM's are already talking about HDR and HDR+ on these small displays. Why jump ahead if you can't get the basics good enough? And it's also amusing some Samsung fanboys were bragging their displays could go over 1000nits. It is very possible that mightve had something to do with the phones combusting. That is a very high draw on the battery and the power circuits and power management. 1000nits would kill your OLED lifespan much more quickly, the longevity of your SEALED battery shortened and could easily bulge the battery sooner than later drawing that much current for a display smaller than 6".
Anyways, I think consumers should expect no less than a 6504K display ±500 and a gamma of 2.2 or close to it. On flagship phones at least. The display used on the v20 should be in less than $400 phone. The blacks even suck. Contrast is decent though but I'm guessing that is because of the 9000K temperature where whites look whiter but in reality they are bluer.

D65 is not the be all end all of accuracy. Stop harping like it is. It is one and only one aspect. You can have a panel with good D65 that still does not reproduce accurate colors. And even on an accurate panels, color output varies across it.
You want to talk accuracy you need to be addressing issues like sRGB versus ARGB, and also presently the LCD panel makers are hoping to force the rec.2020 colorspace (which has a huge range of greens), in order to con you the consumer into replacing your otherwise good monitor. You also need to be addressing not just the panels output but also the colorspace of the content-which is why OS matters-because Windows as stated fails supremely at managing color spaces. Hell most content isn't even managed right to sRGB that has been around for 20+ years as an ISO standard....For a brief while the panel makers were pushing ARGB and "vivid" colors....now with UHD broadcast content they want to force a universe where even sRGB hasn't caught on into rec.2020
Thanks for admitting you don't have a colorimeter. As much as you harp on color accuracy, you only talk the talk and only talk the talk about D65. You have no idea what your colors actually are or if they are accurate be they on your TV or your computer monitor or your phone. Sorry. Thems the harsh facts. Photogs are really the only ones who know about this stuff and walk the walk, all other consumers harp on it--but really they're all talk and no cattle IRL.
Well aware of other standards. But is asking for D65 and CMS too much. No. This screen is wack and as mentioned should expect better from a display manufacturer and a flagship phone. Well aware of the other standards tr here trying to push and many OEMs haven't even got the current ones right. If we have passive attitude like yours do you think it will ever be fixed? And yes, photographers are probably the most prominent activists of color accuracy so I'm quite sure they want us to see it on a reasonably somewhat accurate display. We are in the 21st century far from black and white and many years of innovation and improving. I don't think it is much to ask for this especially when they're outsourcing the labor to save pennies.

Capitalism is fundamentally a race to the bottom dollar and highest margin. Making an outstanding product gets in the way. Given how long it has taken for even top shelf professional ridiculously expensive LCD displays to get as good as CRTs like FW900 were 20 years ago...you'll probably be waiting a while.
Come to think of it, does Android as a platform even support CMS? And does Google bake it into the source they send OEMs? And then do any apps actually use it? I'd guess no, no, and no... But but I haven't checked.
Well that was all very informative. Thank you.
All that said, can any of you extremely intelligent experts tell us simple minded ones how that helps to calibrate V20 screen colors?

I'm pretty sure android doesn't support CMS baked in. The screens get calibrated at factory to my knowledge. Or not calibrated. Samsung might support CMS somewhere deep in the firmware but as mentioned before they're usually calibrated pretty well ootb and have 3-4 options for modes. One of the modes even caters to people that like cooler screens. Just wishing that LG had implemented something like this in the V20 and not have to use the half baked workaround to get decent color accuracy. Took some pictures of the sunset yesterday with incoming rain clouds and was much happier with what I am using now than previously. And from what I've read, it costs approximately $1-3 USD to calibrate smartphone displays if your phone is manufactured and/or assembled in China. Cuts into profit yes, but I think at least flagships, especially the top tiered camera ones should get it. What's the use of a good camera if the pictures look like crap on the display. Makes editing it to make it more appealing or artistic harder or less desirable, on the smartphone at least in this social media age. I just want my nephew pictures and scenery pictures to look good when I look at them right away. I dont think that is too much to ask for, profits be damned.

Just a thread to help those who want a warmer or more accurate screen. I made a thread about using comfort view to help. The op found a setting in accessibility where you can manually change color profiles or manually change how colors are presented. My picture above was just a starting point for those who decide to use this where I found my screen to be more desireable, easy on the eyes and much closer to color accuracy. Might have to use the xrite on this screen and see if it helps. I am not a pro and between the software and having to use a guide each time is difficult. Just use that green circle, if that is the right color (lol), to get a base line of what you want your screen to look like. You can get a little more punch, cooler, warmer or just off the charts inaccurate colors.

From some cursory reading....with the much maligned G5 LG actually targeted rec.2020 (alias DCI-P3) colorspace.
So far I haven't found any reference to what colorspace the v20's panel was intended to fit. Nor if anyone has tried measuring the screen in anything other than sRGB.Given that they were actually able to ship a rec2020 panel in the previous flagship....their very hot D65 value for v20 is more strange. I mention it as the rec2020 space is MUCH more deep in the blue/green department. Just a hairbrained theory, I don't own a colorimeter to check-but mnaybe the hot screen on v20 comes from calibrating more for rec.2020 as opposed to sRGB/ARGB.

S9 AMOLED Blue Wear?

I love the screen on the S9+. Simply amazing.
However I understand after a year of use it's not so amazing, namely due to blue wearing out faster than other colours?
Is it worth enabling the 'blue filter' for day to day use when it's left on for an extended period of time when the colour shift is not an issue? Would this help reduce blue wear?
I did manage to look at a year old S8+ next to my S9+ screen and there was a noticeable difference - slightly more pink.
I'm not sure if this can be corrected over time for example if you need colour accuracy for photographic processing in Adobe Lightroom Mobile.

You paid a sh*tton of money, just use the phone and enjoy the quality. Why bother and enable questionable options that harm the user experience just so that nothing notable happens. S8 screens are still hella beautiful, you dont notice the wear unless u compare it side by side. It could also be that the S9 is optimized in a different way, they are different panels after all. Dont think too much, enjoy your great phone.
Thanks but I'm a bit OCD about this stuff and I also use it for photographic editing with Adobe Lightroom so I'd like to look after it..
It's amazing that this screen has better specs than some photo grade monitors that cost way more than this phone. Eg wide colour gamut (Adobe RGB) and colour accuracy.
I see your point but I am still curious.
Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk
The s8 are notorious for their displays, there were many, many reports of the screen being too red/pink
That's also known as the pink hue or pink tint problem
I thought the S9 and S8 screens were same.

Ghosting (image trail) & hyper sensitivity

I recently got my Poco f1 and two things stood out to me as bad and possible deal breakers.
1: The touch screen accepts inputs even when my finger is 0.5 cm off the screen, which is a lot. I'm wondering if this is also affecting scrolling which sometimes seems to stop or slow down after I lift my finger.
2: Ghosting. I know ips screens will have some ghosting (image trailing with moving objects on the screen such as text), but I notice it a lot on this phone. It became apparent when scrolling through the app drawer on a dark background, especially with white icons. They leave a decently sized trail behind them when scrolling. Even with text it's pretty noticeable. To be clear, I'm not talking about image retention. It seems that's what ghosting refers to mostly on phones nowadays.
My last phone was the Lg G3 which was known for it's screen. I wonder whether or not what I'm seeing is worse than it should be.
I'd like to know if anyone has these issues as well and if these things are improvable / fixable. Is the phone always going to detect input from my finger, even if I'm not touching it? Is the ghosting issue reducible with a custom kernel? I saw there is one that overclocks the screens refresh rate, might that reduce it or is it a hardware issue that can't be changed - pixel response?
Edit: I have no ghosting issues if I turn the screen brightness almost entirely down to it's minimum. Which makes me think it's the pixel response time and light is bleeding through easily because they are sluggish. I'm not an expert on this though.
I am using the device with aospextended rom and I realized that white text on black or dark background on medium brightness leads to a lilac color shift on the white text.
Do you have similar problems?

Yup, I do. It's minimal, but it's there.
I've tried MIUI, lineage, franco kernel, latest updates, everything but my issues persist. The touch screen registers input hovering about 0.5cm off the screen and there is noticeable ghosting due to what I think is bad pixel response time.
Sucks... the question I'm faced with is paying double the price worth getting a phone with a display that doesn't have these issues? That's a tough one, but I think I'm keeping the phone purely because I don't feel paying 300 Euro extra for something like the oneplus 6 or 6t is worth it.

I sent them an email about the issues. It's been tough trying to gauge whether or not these issues are normal on this model.

I found a fix for this problem. If you have access to live display, or any other color calibration setting, set red color to 90%. That takes almost all of the tinting away.
Edit: setting the following values noticeably reduces ghosting at the expense of max brightness. Red- 40% Blue- 50% Green- 50%.
If only I had a dime every time someone opens a new thread about the touch issues of the Poco display...

You are right. I paid 255 euros for the 128 version and the oneplus is not worthy the premium price.
I don't have the touch problems. Is there a way to find out the screen manufacturer on custom roms?
We can compare the screens.

We don't have a Xiaomi service center in Germany.
Is there a possibility to get contact to an European support?

I'm not sure.
I requested support from Xiaomi and they told me that they can't help because it wasn't bought through their store. The store I did buy it at said I had to contact Xiaomi. So I'm a little upset by the back-and-forth. I'm hoping I can get another unit because there do seem to be people who have units that don't have these issues.

S10's OLED Display Is Actually Better For Your Health

One interesting thing that most people aren't talking about is the fact that Samsung's new displays are actually TUV Rheinland certified for significantly less blue light emission (advertised 42% reduction), while still maintaining optimal colors and picture quality.
To me this is a huge selling point. Most people probably don't care, but blue light is shown to cause significant eye strain, and slow the development of melatonin in the brain., destroying your sleep quality. Just curious on everyone's thoughts about this.
Here's some more info if anyone's interested;

https://news.samsung.com/us/samsung...rp-reduction-blue-light-emission-oled-panels/
Samsung discussed it at their event. Reviewers/Youtubers and tech sites rarely comment on blue light emission. You'll come across more articles on how to kill Bixby! The Honor 8X was certified too, but few speak about it.

Didn't know about the honor 8x. Is that also a Samsung display? I'm curios to know exactly what manufactures use Samsung displays aside from Apple.
hope this doesn't mean the screen will be more yellow. I hate that. loved Samsungs bc of their nicer, bluer screens tbh. my pixel 2 looks nasty compared to my note 9.

Blue-light filters usually make things yellow, but I checked the s10/s10+ in a shop and the display is PERFECT, the white levels are incredibly pure and it looks cleaner than my XZ1's IPS which I thought would have unbeatable whites when compared to oleds, that's no longer the case.
I always hated OLED but Samsung found a way to reduce its drawbacks while creating a super accurate panel, if you want to buy one last AMOLED device while waiting for Micro-led to be a thing in mobile, this looks like a very wise choice.

Didnt even know about micro led until now. Does look very promising. Hopefully we see in on the S12 if not sooner.

They're still trying to shrink it for the average TV size, I hope it will come soon.
Did some more research on the Honor 8x, it appears they are advertising blue light reduction with their "eye comfort mode" which tweaks the colors you are seeing. While on the other hand, Samsung is pointing out the 42% reduction from previous OLED's still maintains the same colors you're seeing. So based off that, the S10 is capable of reducing exposure without software tweaks.
It also appears that out of the box, the S10 is defaulted to the "Natural" color setting, and provides a "Vibrant" setting, which does increase color saturation. I wonder if the higher color setting changes your exposure by much...

Then the Honor 8x's solution is nothing more than a software re calibration tweak, I'm glad the S10 comes with a hardware solution that doesn't impact viewing experience.
But yeah using Vivid mode will increase your exposure to blue light depending on the displayed colors, I wouldn't worry that much, it is in no way as dangerous as the exposure to TVs, Desktop monitors or even daylight.
Can someone link to a bluelight study that shows its harmful. I lost my ebsco access when I left college. I always thought this was an overreaction. I've been staring at cool temp computer screens since the 90s, and my recent eye exam says my eyes are still perfect.
I've found the press release, but no peer reviewed papers.

Glad to know I'm not the only one. I even wear reading glasses with blue light filter due to my extreme light sensitivity, so yes, totally big deal for me too
Pwm is for losers. Now Sony is also on the oled bandwagon.
