Do you use adaptive display. Standard. Movie. Dynamic. Etc. What and why?
Also do you use auto adjust screen tone?
I disable the auto adjust screen tone and in check adaptive display and put it on standard.

I use Pro Photo.
I think the auto adjust is there to help with battery as OLED displays are less efficient with whites and bright colors and high brightness levels. Pictures and videos need less brightness to look good as opposed to text on solid background. Auto adjust takes all these factors into effect and balances brightness levels and screen tones to decrees battery use. (I may be wrong on how auto adjust works though)
Movie gives the most accurate colors. (if the S4 is like the note 2, disabling auto adjust as well, provides the most accurate colors overall)
Pro Photo is almost a perfect match to Adobe RGB.
Here is an article about the S4 display and the different modes.
Movie may be more accurate but I found the colors to be rather bland and washed out (compared to an iPhone 4S and HTC Rezound). I use Professional photo because it has the same white point (same whites) as Movie but with poppier colors. It really brings out the best of both worlds on this phone imo. And no auto adjust, but I do use auto brightness.
Hello, guys! I had a serious issue with the slow-mo video of the G5..The problem is that when i start recording and the colors are changing non-stop..
The colors goes like the warmth go down..Did anyone else have that problem and how to solve it? Any ideas?
Unfortunetly i can't show u the video i found in youtube witch is the same problem like mine...
It's due to the automatic white balance, try using manual camera mode (there are some threads in LG G5 Mods Section that explain how to enable manual video if you don't have a custom rom) and manually set white balance, resolution to 1280x720 and FPS to 120.

Yeah, this is a good idea, but it needs root and the phone is not rooted...other idea? Because really am wondering what are the good and the bad things into rooting the phone
Any kind of modification to system apps require root. You can use other apps that allow white balance for video, such as Cinema FV-5. Even though the profe$$ional version has much more controls for color grading, in free version you can manually set and lock the white balance. From the user manual:
On supported devices you can lock the automatic white balance algorithm.
Auto white balance lock.
If the white balance is set to auto, when the toggle is active, the automatic white balance algorithm will stop running, keeping the last calculated scene temperature. Tap again the toggle to unlock it and recalculate the scene color temperature.
Tip
If you usually record clips with the white balance locked, you might find more comfortable to have Cinema FV-5 to lock the white balance for you automatically during the clip recording. To do so, activate the option Settings > Video > Lock white balance during recording

I don't remember if that app can take slow motion videos though.
Will hdr content work on the mate 20 Pro?
Not yet.
YouTube HDR works

I used the open HDR version and it's working fine with HDR (can't remember the link, I just searched Xdev)

Can you send me a link
Is there any kind of on-screen notification to show that it is showing HDR content? I have tried some HDR videos on Youtube (I don't have Netflix) and the videos look the same to me - on my TV the difference is obvious when it is playing HDR stuff.
I have just swapped my LG screen for a BOE screen and the colours look a lot less vibrant in normal use, so wanted to test out some HDR footage to see if it made any difference - otherwise I'll be sending it back in the hope of getting an LG screen without issues!

With this version it at least shows me that HDR is available on certain content. But I don't see much of a difference playing it.

When playing an HDR video from YouTube your screen should go to full brightness, that's normally an indication it has switched to HDR mode.

I get the HDR logo on content even from the official app, but I don't think it plays in HDR mode.
Mine doesn't go to full brightness. Just tried streaming Black Panther in 4k HDR and it looks awful - very dark and colours are not popping out half as much as they did on my previous HTC U11 which didn't have an OLED screen. Think I'll be returning this one next week in the hope of getting a (fixed) LG screen!
It definetely changes the screen settings while playing HDR content. The red of the netflix search bar etc. changes noticably but I can not really see any difference in the content.
But I heard opinions, that HDR on a Smartphone is not really noticeable and made little sence.
Out of interest, is yours a BOE or LG screen?
I also noticed the reds go very garish on the menu of my streaming software, but the actual film stayed normal colour.
just check.... our mates have widevine lv1 so it should be playing 4k and hdr.... maybe huawei somehow just disabled to show hdr content?!

Seeing if you are playing a video in HDR is quite easy actually. Just press a volume button and you should notice the blue tones are... well... more blue. Another thing to do is trying to adjust the brightness of your screen.
Oh and when playing a HDR video on youtube, switch between landscape mode (fullscreen) and vertical mode (the mode where the video is only on the top of the screen).
-edit- The underlined part is for the Mate 20 Pro. Maybe the bar is also affected on LG? Anyway, there are two more (general) tips so you should be able to find out.
Another thing is that I noticed Netflix is now offering HDR on the Mate 20 Pro, but it doesn't look HDR to me. It is definitely going to HDR-mode as I can clearly see (as what I described above) the difference in color blue of the volume bar. But hey, does an already bright and saturated OLED display need HDR? Except for the wider color gamut of-course, which is really lovely on the video's with HDR on YouTube. Sometimes, with some scenes and probably specific colors, I find the display kind of 3D-isch. Which is very nice

Does the volume and brightness thing still hold true. I just got a replacement and the volume bar colour doesn't change anymore and It doesn't go to fully bright automatically like it did before. Content also looks same as my other none hdr phone.
Loving Huawei atm. On my 6th phone...
HDR for this phone is coming by Emiu related. I'm on. 153 version on later version there is support for HDR Netflix, is not related to the Netflix app, no its based on version of EMIU LATER THEN 153

I just checked it for you and come to find that it's different now.
TL;DR:
The answer is no, the brightness can now be changed and will not be set to max while in HDR mode and the blue of volume bar is hardly noticeable now (it's a lighter shade of blue now while in HDR mode).
This is on my YouTube app:
- Brightness can be adjusted now (before it was maxed out)
- The saturation of the blue in the volume bar is another hue, much less noticeable. Before it would to change to a darker tone (yet brighter, thanks to the HDR) of blue. Now it's a lighter tone of blue. Much less noticeable in my opinion.
You can check if a video on YouTube is playing in HDR by checking the quality it's playing in. It should say HDR after the resolution. If you question if the video is actually playing in HDR (despite it saying it's hdr), I recommend (I'm can't post links yet): paste this after youtube.com "/watch?v=tO01J-M3g0U&t=21s" . The image of the cheetah shouldn't have blown out white on it's belly, the details should remain visible in it's fur. To really check if the richer colors of HDR are being applied, I suggest comparing some hdr content with a monitor (not a TV as they use image enhancers).
As for Netflix:
- I didn't notice any difference, except for the volume bar having this brighter blue now. But that's because the volume bar isn't controlled by an app but by the system itself. So that's as expected.
- Not noticing a difference on Netflix isn't necessarily a bad thing. A movie might not have/want those popping colors of HDR (I'm comparing to the flashy HDR samples on YouTube for this, like the one I gave earlier). Also having an OLED screen is already what you might call "HDR" (having dark blacks and bright whites, while being able to see all the details in between the dark and light), it's only a matter of a wider color gamut to produce more popping colors, which again, might be different in the movie industry compared to the samples of HDR on YouTube. To truly test this, one should test it with an LCD screen.
I've had the S6 for a week now and tried out the video aspect and thought I had it.
Two issues:
In practise, I can zoom in/out while "vidding" (is that a word?) but when I tried to vid a hockey game, it would not let me. Don't remember the exact error but it was something like "Cannot use this feature (ie zoom) while in this mode".
Huh?
Second issue was quality. The rink and surrounding ice/stands was crystal clear but it was very difficult to identify the players/number on their jereys--not really blurry but very dark. Because of the white ice? They did have dark uniforms with white numbers. I thought that white balance was only for still pics (it's on auto BTW). Is there another setting to use while videoing? I had it set to 1920x1080. My camera has a clearer "person" in the video but has a more grainy surrounding ice surface (with lower-1080-resolution).
Is it because it's action shooting and not a static pic?
Hi guys,
Not sure if anyone else has this problem where if i take videos in any mode whether its "pro video" with "HDR10+" or jpg / raw or any combination the colours are dull and gray but as soon as i press the "edit mode" the colours all come back to life - its like the videos have an auto filter on when viewing them and sending.
It doesn't happen with pictures at all - its only with videos. Vivid mode, theres no colour adjustment or adaptive brightness - this issue ONLY happens with videos.
fixed by turning off hdr10+..
