Black crush ? I assume you are talking about blotches and such. This is an artifact of amoled screens known to us nerds as "mura", and is present on all Galaxy phones.

Color Bleeding - How to tell?

Forgive my ignorance, but how can I tell if I have color bleed? That is, how can I tell if it is by design or a problem? I hear many talking about color bleeding but I don't think I've encountered it on my TF.
I did try the dead pixel test and all colors looked good.
Thanks!

I think you mean light bleed, not color bleed.
Here's the thing, if you don't notice a problem, then in theory there is no problem. If people tell you what to look for, the littlest problem will suck your eyes straight to it every time.
It is only a cosmetic issue, so if you don't see anything wrong with it, there is nothing wrong with it.

Yup! The day I got my tablet, I was like "ZOMG SO PERFECT" then I drooled for a little while...
Reading these forums, I discovered how to check for light bleeds, (not telling you OP! its for your own good!) But I noticed one on my bottom left hand part of the screen. My eye wanders there a lot and I cringe a little bit. *sigh*
Its so small though... About the size of a fingernail

I am sure you are right but I really can not see why it exists. What is its purpose?
Probably an accent color...doesn't really bother me...my TF had been pretty good so far...

Seriously, I never realized anything was wrong until I read about light bleeding and how to check for it in these forums. Ignorance is bliss!

Just got my S3

Whats up guys? Just got my Black S3 today, I already rooted and installed a custom rom [Carbon]. Everything seemed pretty simple. I was wondering if you guys had any tips for me or any advice that would help out? Anyway, glad to join this community, coming from HTC One S.

Does anyone get this banding when opening facebook?

Look towards the top. This happens when opening facebook app for first time and there is a black screen for a moment.
I have a pure black wallpaper, which I think makes it more likely to occur

he is actually referring to the bottom if you look carefully with teh gradient, youll see a bunch of blueish tinted lines and stripes rather than a smooth coloring
OP its common on samoled screens, cm has a antibanding "fix" in order to help combat this

Xperia U LED For N4

Hello
As we have seen in Sony Xperia Models like Xperia U, ZL etc which has a LED that actually changes colour depending on what content is showing on screen.
On our Nexus there is a LED but it blinks just for notifications.
Is there any way to make Nexus 4 LED like Xperia..?? So that it will change colour depending on the content of the screen..
Thanks guys

the fact is, it IS useless. How would showing a LED that links to the screen be useful?
Is it cool? Well yeah. It's another thing to show off with. But it's still useless.

So mucuracat can't read, scream4cheese likes to open random threads with nothing to contribute and post his opinion on the thread topic believing his opinions are valued, and exb0 likes to be a ****. This is a Nexus Q&A section and doesn't need BS replies like these. Nexus 4 posters should be of higher social function than the babies in other phone sections.
OP, I haven't found ANYTHING that would allow you to do this. It would have to be an app that someone either creates or pulls from the Xperia.

Thanks for the sensible reply..yea after posting in Q&A..i waited for some sensible reply and than i did my research and found out that we still dont have nething that can make our LED behave as xperia...so i guess...will have to wait untill some developer who want this cool option decides to make it for N4

You can use the xylon rom, it has the option for keeping the LED on while charging and when battery is low. I think it also shows different colors for different battery levels (not sure).

taking theme requests.

If you have some colors you would like to see in your Note 3 please let me know in this thread. Keep in mind you have to be able to see your phone outside, so silver, white, colors like that are no good, and I wont make it if you can't see it outdoors
.
Get your thoughts in now, I'm ready to go. Two color maximum
How about an XDA color theme?
be more specific

black/orange
OK black orange wins, I still don't know what color kit kat is. I do know it isn't two specific colors though :silly:
I'm a fan of themes that utilize original images instead of just recolor stock images, if that makes sense.
mms bubbles

What your wanting to do will not work. I will not do something that I know will not work. You have to remember that you want a black background when the letters you type will be black.
I recommend to you that you use the bubbles in the rom now.
Thanks
