[Q] SLCD and Savin Energy??

When i have googled i have found SLCD screens actually consume power blocking bright light...Hence bright wall papers ect are advised rather than dark wallpapers which are recommended for AMOLED.
Is That right???
And my question is i have an SLCD version so using apps like Screen Filter drains more battery??

So, after getting no answer for a full mind-blowing 75 minutes, you decided to be impatient and post your question again. And in the wrong place to boot.
That somewhat makes me regret giving you an sincere answer in the first and right location.

i wasnt sure where to post it....i think i hav posted it the second time coz i havnt got any replies yet...or if it has been after u replied then probablly i havnt seen it...
no offence at all.....

An LCD uses the exact same amount of power whether displaying all white or all black.
AMOLED uses more power displaying all white than all black.

sorry, where is the other post on this question?

The only problem i noticed from the ones that you mentioned are overheating while i am playing certain games such as order and chaos online. I simply lower down the brightness from 100% to 50% and problem solved. However i read somewhere that overheating is fixed in the next firmware which is 2.3.4!
I never saw any pink spots or yellow tints in my phone. And if u have any second thoughts about the screen, don t have! It s one of the best screens out there. Period! Like the first poster said, you can t go wrong with this device, it is the best smartphone out there I bought mine when they first were available and i can t find a simple fault in it Just go for it!

thnx a lot bro for ur reliving reply i was really paniking after reading all the faults of this phone .. Also i will check the phone b4 buying

The things on your list are very minor issues. Most of the minor issues you have to be looking for them with a magnifying glass.
1. Yellow Tint: You have to be in dark room/With a solid GREY screeen/Brightness Turned all the way down to really notice the yellow tint. Its not something you see in everyday/normal use.
2. Overheating: This is all dependent on what your doing. It usually overheats with games being played for long periods. Personally my phone never gets past warm. You normally feel this heat from the camera area or top part of screen. Thats where CPU is located.
3. This is something you see on rare occasions. Most users in the banding threads see this on only certain wallpapers, xda load screen(3sec process), angry birds load screen(3second process). Another minor issue you rarely see but it is present.
4. After 500+ pictures/videos from my Jamaca vacation I never notice a pink spot. Ive had phone since UK launch but never seen pink spot. Some users reported after updating camera firmware pinkspot was gone. Very minor issue.
Do a little research in the general section, there should be plenty of post explaining each issue with pictures.

Ignore "JJE" hes just a random oblivious troll, yes the pink spot in the camera and the yellow tint is very possibly on all phones, many websites are struggling to find 1 which doesnt have this problem, the yellow tint is hardly noticeable and only in some shades of gray.
The pink spot unfortunatelly is easy to notice but perhaps with better light conditions you can overcome it.
The overheating problem has nothing to do with playing games to much time, its possibly a OS bug which can be fixed, everytime my phone overheated all i had to do was to getting out of all apps, clear memory ram and start that app again, the overheating happened in 20 minutes, after exiting apps and clearing ram it didnt happen untill battery drained...

Believe me you won't regret buying this beast. I had exact same doubts b4 buying and after using it for almost one week, I am glad that I decided to buy it. Btw, ordered from clove to Japan.

the yellow tint issue cant be noticed easelly you need specific shades of gray with very low brightness to even notice it slightly, overall if you want the best performance and best contrast you wont find anything that comes close to this phone, after i have traded 2 of my phones my third one still is and will remain to be galaxy s2 for a good while because the competition in comparison to this phone is simply outdated.
So if you want a top of the line performance phone this is the best, if you want mostly for gamings then either this or xperia play, but even tough xperia play is very good for gaming its a single core 1.0ghz cpu with a not that good gpu, so u win at something and loose at something else.
No phone right now offers the best in all areas each has its up and down.

Are people okay with this .. color banding issue

Why do I see so less threads about the color banding issue.. ? Why don't people worry that much about this? Will this get fixed because it's VERY VERY annoying. I payed €500 for a phone that is not even running on a 24bit and I'm alrdy on my 2nd SGSII ... Thinking of waiting for the Nexus Prime ...

Now that my battery life is incredibly awesome thanks to kg2/3, I really don't have anything to complain about.
The positives of this phone greatly out weigh the negatives which is only one thing I can think of.. Some of my wallpapers look ugly because of the banding.
I think I can live with that.

Its a minor issue and only noticed with some loading screens like angrgbirds and xda app and certain photos.
I just love how people turn a decent post into a threat like the nexus prime.
L a little research would have told you the nexus s had same issue and later fixed.

If you don't look for banding or yellow tint, you'll never notice them. Recommend for new users to not look for these issues

Nexus s had the issue fixed because of outcry. Meek sheep in here advise to fix the problem is to ignore it. Not cool at all.
And its not a minor issue. For those of us with eyes it is glaring. And don't tell me that with dual core at 1.2 and 24 bit the things will grind to a halt. I don't buy it.

What "banding" issue? Mine is fine.... I guess if I "look" for issues I will find them. Then again the positives far outweigh the negatives. A little gradient here and there is no matter. Some people are their own worst nightmare with their "anality" Probably have their devices wrapped in armor lest a little nick or scratch appear during normal use .......How do they sleep at night?

I really want to know where the majority of your banding you see.
Besides xda loading screen and angry birds I don't see it often enough to cry about. I've taken 500+ pictures and have viewed 100s of webpages and I don't see it being a major issue.

If you're primarily browsing of course you wont see it cause its white page with black letter's.

Color banding? Don't have it.
Colors are incredible on my SGS2 and shades flow very smoothly. Best screen I've ever had.

yeah I've used a number of roms on my phone and haven't noticed any banding... I'm wondering if this is a hardware specific thing?

The default background image on the Go Launcher exhibits significant banding. The issue goes away when using CM7, currently this isn't a solution as CM7 is severely functionality-impaired at the moment.
A fix would be appreciated, it's a minor irritation though. Seems a bit silly to have such a powerful device with such a great screen and then run it at a lower bit-depth.

Go install Nenamark from the market and run the benchmark. You will see banding in the evening sky scene as the benchmark runs.

I don't think people are disputing the problem's there. The question was "are you OK with it?"

Yeah, because the problem IS there, anyone saying "I don't have it" or "it doesn't exists" is either ignorant or lying, because it's a FACT the problem(or whatever you want to call it) exists. The purpose of this topic is rather to ask to people how they live with it/what they think of it.
My 2 cents is that it's quite annoying. Now I see it, I notice it everywhere, games, apps, wallpapers. We'll see how the Tegra-version of the Galaxy S2 with SLCD screen will manage color gradients - if banding still occurs, we can be quite sure it's software-related, if not, there's more chance for it to be hardware-related(though not sure).

I've heard this complain before but I don't seem to have this issue.. or perhaps I'm color blind or something lol.
I do intend to not have much yellow more so red and black on my screen than anything..
Is it really THAT MUCH of a nuisance?

it is really annoying, and unfortunately i'm pretty sure it's hardware-based due to the PenTile display. there are plenty of previous discussions on this so please search back and read up on it there.

It's not terrible for me. It's just the way our screen is.
Our screen was built for -> battery saving, that's why color reproduction has problems.
And for me the choice paid off, I am getting the best battery life than with any android smartphone.
If color reproduction was more important to you, you shouldn't have bought an Atrix.

Supposedly pentile screens also have advantages with sunlight visibility.My wife has an HTC Desire S, and it is literally unviewable in the Sun and yet mine remained completely usable and clear. She was not impressed and I was left gloating

Its too bad some color panel hidden behind the scenes couldn't be accessed to correct the color. It would have been a top contender for some time to come. Love how big the battery is.

wasn't trying to upset you.
but if we're on that wave, if you're well aware of the problem and searching only netted you no new answers, what did you expect asking would do? net you more non-new answers.

The Atrix screen indeed makes everything a little "bluer" (are your yellows slightly green?).
I read that in CM7 you can alter the color scheme a little bit, or there's an app that can also do this...I'd have to search a little bit to find what I'm talking about, but I'll post a link in just a sec.
Edit: this is what I was thinking of...Might not be exactly what you're looking for, as it requires you to have CM7 it looks like (not that that's a bad thing, but of course it's still in pre-beta and you might not want to use it). It's a start though, and gives you a little more info.

It's an unfixable hardware "problem".
It not a huge deal (can't really tell a huge difference)
Who cares.

Hi Bro,
yes, i was just looking for the camera spec for the sg and google listed it.
I do not think it is a great comparison but they seem to have to done the tests fairly.

But the problem with that is if you can control the ISO on one phone and not the other how do they compare that? Choose the lowest ISO for one phone and let the other shoot in automatic? So one phone will shoot at its lowest which you set to say normally on a smartphone is 50-64....while the other phone in automatic shoots at 150. Crop those and you will obviously see more noise in the ISO150 picture.
The photo tool is horrible to get accurate comparisons between phones....but for fun...why not. Just dont use it to choose your next camera phone lol.

It's better than nothing! Like someone said the tests seem to b fair and will give an idea of the quality of the camera. They also show the jpeg compression level. But I would also look at reviews before making any final decision.

Maybe you can share the best way of comparing different camera phones and there good and bad points, I am sure for those interested would value a expert opinion, why not start a thread to share.

Like you, im not worried about contacting them about the tool. What im gonna try to do is pull a couple of those pictures and compare the EXIF info in each and see how fair they are.
But when I see someone post the link to that tool, I just like to inform the readers not to use that tool as a deciding factor. Its far to inaccurate. ISO is certainly not the only thing to worry about when comparing. Default metering modes are different on each phone. On the X10 its default is center weighted....on my samsung focus the default is matrix....and metering modes certinly make a difference in overall picture as well.
When comparing cameras, look at the EXIF info of each picture....if one picture reads F/2.8 1/450's ISO100 with matrix metering EV0. Make sure the other picture is the same or extremely close. Then do some cropping and see which is better....or just side by side without cropping look at the colors and which is more accurate....look at certain areas of each picture...pick little things and see which is more detailed/legible without zooming.

@all
Placed a warning in the op just to clarify things.
