Washed Out? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I thought the screen looked pretty good until I played this video and noticed the grass didn't look right. Then I played it on my XYBoard 8.2 and WOW what a difference! The XYBoard has an IPS screen just like the N7, so I'm not comparing it to a Super AMOLED, just another screen of the same technology.
I should mention that both are at max brightness. And it's not that the N7's screen is just brighter, because the whites on the XYBoard's screen are actually brighter than the whites on the N7's screen.
I'm wondering if there is some way to adjust the contrast and saturation...
XYBoard is top, N7 is bottom:

Happens after HD playback. There's a script you run to fix it. Also I would love some contrast and color control as well...

I too find that my nexus lacks contest and- to a lesser extent- saturation.

as per the other thread on this , if you are rooted and dont mind paying for the app here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.widgets.big.tegra.prism.toggle
it fixes it.. i noticed quite a difference..

Try a test-card image and you'll probably see that yellows, green and cyan are really weak. I'm pretty sure this relates to the badly calibrated screens mentioned here: http://www.displaymate.com/news.html#8 and all devices have it.

Dude, there are a bunch of threads here, on the google support forum and articles on the net re the purple tint problem.
HTC reps told me it was a software issue that will be fixed when an update is released soon. Apparently other people have been told it's a hardware issue and to get the phone replaced.
Try putting your phone on maximum brightness, that helps but there will still be a slight nagging color problem - it still will look 'off' somehow.
My little sister's favorite color is purple, grapes are purple, Barney is purple, but a $600 'superphone'? What a joke.
I also think it's a hardware problem, where are the others topic? thank you
...my att banded n1 looks like your hero in the above pictures...

LWP Battery consumption tested

So here it goes... people are always asking about how Live Wallpapers influence the battery consumption of the phone... in this case i tested on a Galaxy s3 i9300.
For this test i kept the screen on until the battery gone down to 30%.
This is how i made the test.
I used the Live Wallpaper Magic Bubbles, you can find it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apofiss.magicbubbles&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5hcG9maXNzLm1hZ2ljYnViYmxlcyJd
I think this LWP is good coded so there's no problem about that influencing the consumption of the battery.
I kept the brightness on full too. (100%)
To keep the screen on during all the process i also used the app, Screen On Toggler: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.malcolm.screenontoggler&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5tYWxjb2xtLnNjcmVlbm9udG9nZ2xlciJd
To keep the results fair as possible when doing the test Without the live wallpaper, i took a screenshot of it and then crop it and applied it as wallpaper so i could have the same colors coming out of the screen.
So this is all the details i think... the rom used was foxhound 1.7, although i think it doesn't matter.
This was the result then.

So as you can see its a big difference and yes the LWP has a big hit on the battery consumption... although of course you will not keep the screen always on.. this was just a test so i hope its helpful to you. Next time i will had a test but with a black background... or a darker background... to see the difference between a colorful BG and a darker BG.
Please post your opinions and thoughts...

[Q] Fix for Terrible Light bleed

Have terrible light bleed on my Nexus 7 that is approx 2 months old, been getting worse and worse, just filed for a RMA but Asus says they do not cross ship for tablets so I would be without it for 3-4 weeks.
Is there any fix I could try? Is this a similar issue to the screen lift problem everyone seems to be having? If I warp the tablet in my hand I can get the bleeding to be more or less or different places which leads me to think the screen isnt on straight.
Here is screenshot off it on a pure black background

I've gotten some lightbleed on my Nexus 7 (minor, not noticeable unless brightness is turned up) and the "ripple" when I press on the screen. I do assume this has something to do with how the screen is mounted, but I'm not sure how to fix it.
Ouch. Does it creak a lot to?

The only real way to fix this is with a screen/digitizer assembly replacement.

I prefer mva z1 full hd screen, ips is not symbol of quality, lg g2 id very bad color acurracy, worst than amoled.
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda app-developers app
Does not say anywhere that it is IPS screen though... not even the japanese spec sheet... just the normal Trilluminus +x-reality...
and I don't like how it looks... looks a lot like IPhone 5C TBH... still prefer the bigger one Z1
I will definitely buy this phone if it will be available on the international market! Unfortunately there is no official statement about this
docomo z1 will probably have this screen aswell lol. but in full hd.
I really wish that this would come out in Europe as well, whilst I do admire the Z1, it is far to big (personal feeling)
I'm not going to cry about 720p instead of 1080p, but finally a 'smaller' device that isn't cut down internally as well!

Turn your Note 2's screen into a cinematic 42" viewing experience [ideas]

So back when I still had my Canon T2i I had a viewfinder which magnified the 3" display 2.8x.

. In the ad it mentioned the cinematic experience and strangely enough it wasn't a lie. It looked amazing. However, because of the low amount of pixels it was quite easy to count them.
Now, I think the Note 2 has a lot of potentional to also be turned into a cinema beast, for watching movies for example. The cool thing about the viewfinder was that from the inside it even looked like a theater, due to the shape and a soft material which contributed to the overall feel. Pretty cool. This thread is mainly meant for creative ideas, since there aren't any 5'5" double eyed viewfinders out there. So join in, see who else is interested.
Would be amazing if this could materialize. Keeping track of this thread.

:good: So I did find a (rare) dual viewfinder, for the Canon 5D3 etc, which is suitable for 3.2" screens. This pic is for reference and perhaps an idea. The issue with finding the right magnification has to do with the focal length/point, size of the magnifier and the piece that would connect to the screen.
