Standard, always.
Dynamic is too rich for me. Movie is, poor.

I actually prefer movie, apart from when I watch a movie, when I change to standard... Retarded right?

I use Dynamic. It's like a constant live HDR mode. This is the single reason why I return to stock each time I try a new CM7 nightly.

Movie. Switched to Standard for a day and got poor battery life so I put it back onto movie. Standard is a lot nicer picture though.

Dynamic!! The colours in dynamic mode make my eyes have orgasm. Yeah, I cry from happiness. PP

Dynamic has too much contrast, you will loose a lot of detail in shadows.

Standard, Dynamic offers too much saturation for my taste.

Dynamic ftw, specially if u have a screen protector on, they kinda level out one another

Standard for me....

Movie is best. The other two are harsh and over saturated.

I am using standard, never played around with it really.

Used Standard for now but will try movie to see how much difference there is in battery life.
Dynamic is plain folly to use unless you have a very bad eye sight already.

You may notice the curve on the NS.
MT4 looks thinner.
I got a good screen on MT4, and it doesn't have color fading or washout problem.
For fair comparison, I use same wallpaper. NS is surely a winner on this part
NS is clearly a winner on this.
Somehow I got red tint on the picture, but it actually didn't show such tint.

Do you mean the NS...?
I think both are barely the same when opening up xda.
I will upload a video to youtube to show the loading time.
Conditions:
both run on Skyfire and reloaded a few times on both.
both run on 3G and assumed both have similar reception.

Yes i mean NS
I had a rooted iphone running on t-mobile for a while, so today I went and opened a att account to try the iphone 4 for a few days. I did this because I was so disapointed in the browsing experience on the nexus s. The iphone will be going back but I am really pondering getting the mt4g which I owned for a few days before returning it because of bluetooth issues and the inability to send my contacts list to my car nav. I love the ns screen and styling but think I may go back to the mt4g since I will end up running a custom rom on whatever i choose.
Gosh that curved screen looks so sexy next to a normal flat phone.

Basically, the loading speed is tied between two.

How about the scrolling? which one is smoother?

Post Pictures from your Xperia Play!

Hello Everyone,
I haven't seen anyone start a post for this yet so I thought I would get the ball rolling. The only edits that have been made to these photos is resizing and reorienting. I've also made some comments at the very end.

I know some of the critics knock the XPlay for not having the best camera, but I think hardware-wise it is pretty decent. The problem is the software that it comes with, which is the native android camera app. It kinda sucks!
* No touch to focus
* No metering options (which really blows....highlights and all)
* No focusing square to tell me what it's focusing on (it highlights the whole screen)
Thankfully since it's a software issue hopefully it will be remedied...either by Sony for the hacking community trying to port over the Xperia Arc/Neo Software.
Anyways, please post ur photos if you have a XPlay!
Here are some if mine

Pictures of one of the "knights" at Camelot, my dog, and my daughter feeding the goats at Camelot. I'm fairly sure you can work out which is which!
I find the flash tends to wash out the pictures, but I believe this is true of all camera phones with LED flashes.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention, I use the Vignette app rather than the stock camera. Lots if options available there.

Was bored waiting for some friends this afternoon, so I played around with tilt shift a little bit.

[Q] Is Banding Like This Normal for a Nexus 7?

I've read a few posts on XDA which mentions the visible banding in gradients. I find it's visible quite often, in the settings menu, in photos, in apps, videos etc. If this is normal then I'm shocked it hasn't been mentioned in any of the reviews I've. I would only expect to see a screen of this poor quality in a cheap brand.

If my Nexus looked like that I would be unhappy.

I have similar banding but not as pronounced probably because my brightness level is lower. I haven't really heard of a N7 that doesn't have this problem to be honest.
Mine has it but I only notice it on dark blank screens and I'm not on dark blank screens very often or for very long.

Should sort out the issue for you...

Seems to be down to a poor quality screen. I guess they had to make sacrifices somewhere to keep the cost down. Thanks for the link toidimaet, I read through it and there currently isn't a fix for stock 4.2.1. I could ask somewhere there if they would mind making one but it sounds like the next official update might also include a fix (if you can call it that) so I might as well wait.
I have the same issue, the only rom which i haven't this problem was PA so that means it isn't a hardware problem? I can't find RadientFix for SmoothRom.
not a screen issue
the N7 has an IPS display panel, which renders colors, well, too accurately. for gradients you can use strong jpeg compression, which is normally not visible on standard screens. the perfect screen also has disadvantages - most mediocre images look awfully.
by the way, all of the wallpapers that are coming out of the box are useless in my opinion for the same reason

[Q] One-handed shrunk screen background color BLUE - why not BLACK?

This video shows this cool new feature to aid one handed use:
http://youtu.be/S2Yr7PvgKQw?t=33s
I was surprised to see however that the background color of the unused screen area is blue instead of black - which would make much more sense on AMOLED.
Can that color be configured? Or maybe it's a safety measure against screen burn-in? Also, the border of the box could be a darker color...

Sounds like a cool feature, but I will never use it. It's why I bought a screen that size and not a screen size that it shrinks down to lol. Can be useful to some, but honestly defeats the purpose of the note haha. As for the colors, I have no idea...

I'm sure that color can be changed (at least I THINK I saw black in another video). As for the burn-in, blue IS what causes the burn in. So blue would actually make it much worse.
they probably made it blue so it's easy to see, so when you move it back to original you can place it exactly in place, instead of black where you might find it hard to put back.
unless of course there is a reset....

That's good to hear YouTube on this stop doesn't support the 4k tech? And I've been watching the breaking bad binge marathon every Sunday

You realize you can't show off the quality of the display via a screen shot. This needs to be experienced first hand.
To my untrained eye the panel on my G3 looks good in general , too bad for the sharpening though which is noticeable in some cases.
Web video looks good in general, but I won't go as far as to say that a 1080p display would be very bad (thinking about the G2 for example). The best content on this phone was content that shipped (the sample videos) and I copied a random 4K sample on it for kicks.
