So I just found out that the reason why Moto active display is so amazing is because it doesn't consume hardly any battery due to the amoled display only waking a few pixels. Is there any way we will see this on our phones since they use an amoled or is it dependant on the Motorola framework?

I think it's also dependent on the low power cores designed specifically for that feature.
You will not get Moto X branded features on your Galaxy 4. Period.
The only way it will happen is if someone other than youself makes it happen, on AOSP.
Cheers
I like the Google now always on feature where you can just talk and it responds. Any app that's going to be like that for the s4?

I was reading there's a app or for it but you need 4.3 to run it. Check it out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=

I'm mulling a switch to Sprint basically and I'm considering a Nexus S 4G when I come across, anything special I need to know? Tell me some pros and cons, just wanting to make a good purchase.

Pros: stock gingerbread, samoled is amazing, sexy formfactor body, easy to root.
If your going to root we have a pretty good section of roms, mostly aosp. Go check out the dev section if you wanna get the down low.
Cons: some users have issues with signal reception but mine is rather good, some people don't like the plastic body, samoled sucks up battery if is up too high for too long.
But the only opinion that matters is your own, btw if you don't like it you can return it and get an evo if you like that better.

I agree with everything except this. Samoled uses a good bit less power than LCD technology does.

And blacks on the samoled screen are the blackest you'll ever get on any screen. It's as if its not even there....

Because that's how it works. The pixels are almost in the off state for black.

I've never kept my phone the higtest setting for the whole day, I'm always on auto, I just guessed that it would suck up more battery than in normal use. Never tested aganist an LCD screen so ..... lol but I've heard different stories about battery life between LCD vs samoled screen so hmmm I don't know >.<
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
Yes, samoled does use less power then an lcd if you avoid white color
Love the note it is fantastic , I have one minor complaint the brightness is no where near as bright as the s3
I'm not sure if this is normal , is a fault or something needs tweaking
I'm in full brightness , auto brightness is off and so is adjust screen tone
Is it just me ?

Did you change the brightness in the drop down menu only?
That slider is just a fine tune for the actual setting.
Go into settings and display, and there is a REAL brightness slider there.
Note 2 is supposed to be brighter 450nit vs 350nit $3

Interesting. Could this be due to lack of consistency in manufacturing? GSMArena said that their review unit is less bright than the one they previewed.
My device is bright enough.No problem at all under sunny conditions.
Hey guys, I think we all confused about what the real question is, i mean my NOTE 2 is bright enough too. but I think what he means is, the quality not the brightness. Honestly I have the same problem, when I compare my s3 to my note2, the s3 the color is more alive, for example, when you look at the icons in your desktop is not NEAT as the s3. When I had my s3 I faced the same problem, what i did was change my ROM but in this case, we have to wait until they release more rom for the note2.

I usually keep my phones on full brightness. I'll deal with the battery draining because I love how it looks with full brightness. Has anyone noticed the display on the n4 kind of adjusting sometimes. I have noticed sometimes it changes to a little darker or a little brighter while using the phone.
I also noticed when I am talking on the phone with the speaker on sometimes it shuts when opening an application or sometimes even without opening an app and switches to regular ear piece. Sometimes it will stay on speaker but go lower.
Anyone having these issues? Its not a deal breaker or anything I still love it. I know phones will always have their issues, I've had ever nexus and the g1. I just want to know if other people are having this issue.

My guess is glitch hardware. Lg is known for making inconsistent quality. Terrible QA. Just because its made in Korea doesn't means its better than in China.

I don't know how you can use this display on full brightness it's too damn bright! Strains my eyes. lol I tend to keep mine around the 25% mark
It's adaptive contrast, runs independent of your brightness settings and there's not an option to disable it. You probably notice it most when moving from a largely black screen to a white one.
I think I remember first hearing about it's use in a Galaxy S2 review, my TV does the same thing on its dynamic setting.

Just wondering if this is even possible? The black and white notifications on the moto x look so sleek.
Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk
If I'm not mistaken it wouldn't work right because this is an ips display. The moto x is an oled display. Difference is that the x can turn on just those individual pixels needed for that notification while the rest remain completely off. With ours, the whole screen would have to be lit up (although in black) which would make it drain far more battery.

You could use Knock2 which does almost the same. Although impact on Battery will be higher for sure.
But you can try it at least https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.knock.knock.demo
Dynamic Notifications works pretty good.

So if you jailbreak iPhone 5s/6/6plus you can unlock the phone by just putting your finger on the home button without unlocking the screen. Is it possible with some tool in Samsung Galaxy s5 by just swiping the pad without turning the screen on making the phone unlock?
Thanks for answers

Yes its a very awesome feature and I think its possible if some dev looks into it. I dont have S5 atm but I am considering buying the phone if this is possible
As of right now, there is no mod that allows this. but i'm sure sooner or later some dev will get it to work, as the posters above me have already said.

It will take a hit on the battery since this feature will be emulated through software since the hardware restricts it. For that to happen we have to modify the kernel to make the cpu stay awake at all times at low power. It's just like the Double tap to wake feature that is also sort of "emulated".
