What DPI works well for you? - Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I want to change my DPI. I would normally go to 360 but it doesn't seem to work well with this phone. What are some that you guys have found to work well for you?

I'm using 300 on the S5. I used 240 on my Note 2...but it's way to small unless your sitting down and have a steady hand.

[Q] Bright question.

Hello guys.
I don't know if it is just me but I can't see a big difference between medium and max bright, you obviously can tell it changed a bit but it's not like other devices I've had before, although the difference between min and max is way bigger, just wanted to know if this is a normal standard thing or some kind of issue. Thanks.

Can confirm that. A bit weird that the other half of the slider is like doing nothing. Its like the volume slider on the galaxy nexus.. After the half, the music won't go noticeable louder... Weird... Maybe a 4.2 problem idk..

Oh, wasn't it like this in previous versions?
I got it a few days ago so I don't really know.

Got mine also for a few days...
But after knowing that 4.2 brought a lot of bad stuff I think maybe this too... Only a guy or girl that had it for a few months can help us

I'm on 4.1.2 and it's the same way, from mid-point on, no change in brightness.

Eye Strain?

Wondering if anyone else had this problem. After playing games (both tekkin 3 and hill racing) I notice that my vision is blurry and I feel kind of dizzy. This has happened 4+ times so far. What I did is lowered my brightness settings all the way to 0 but I still get the same problem (although I think its less severe).
Anyone please help? I dont want to have to change phones since I love this one and have bought many accessories (palm touchstone chargers, cases, gameklip,ect).
Hehe actually I do experience blury vision after im playing awhile

Yeah, Screen Filter can help, but I myself actually find the display of my S3 a relief after a whole day od LCD screens (work+home).
Glad it aint just me.

Thanks going to try that. Is there anyway to increase the range of brightness settings in the kernal so we dont have to run an app? Using CM kernal. Hopefully there is a way.

Yeah it really cant be healthy for your eyes. Definitely a disappointment.

Can I use a torch app?

Or can it mess up/burn out the LED?
It CAN burn out the LED, but don't leave it on for extended periods and you'll be fine.
I only use it occasionally. So is it worth keeping or should I uninstall it?
So far I've only used it as a torch for say... an hour tops? Constant.
I would keep it, they come in handy especially if you drop your keys beside the car seat at night and you can't see. Look into the galaxy nexus flashlight on the play store doesn't take a lot of space and works well.

Is that one recommended then? At the moment am using 'Simple Torch', but if that's better or something, then I'll switch.

Not necessarily recommended but works well on nexus devices, widget looks good and had a lock screen widget. +it doesn't take up a lot of space

Have you gotten the camera dpi to work at native DPI(assuming you changed default)? I'm having issues doing so :-/

Any other great Xposed Framework things to try out? I just got it now, and I'd love to know what to try, in your opinion.

Did it have any affect on your battery? I installed the framework and app settings module, and battery life went in the toilet. Uninstalled them, battery went back to normal.

I've had it installed pretty much since I got the phone so I'm not sure but I have heard there is additional overhead caused by it BT no ides really how much if at all. It's worth it for me to have a lower LCD density and working camera app.

Is your camera working full screen? What are you settings in app settings if you dont mind? I cant for the life of me figure it out.

Did you try setting DPI of camera app back to 480?
Now that we have a good recovery and can make backups has anybody tried xposed modules? If so what is working?

[Q] Replacing or exchanging

Just notice a white vertical series of some white blotch marks :/
I like this phone. But I really like the note 3 screen size.
Is anyone thinking about going back for the note 3?

Nope. The Note 3 has lag and this doesn't. That's enough for me to not even touch that phone.

I will tell you that I hate the Nova option because you can do that on any phone and I like to stay on stock launchers. Also, that's just a band aid. An un-optimized software is underneath.
And trust me, I've had the S3, Note 2 and S4.... Flashing a rom is still using their un-optimized software. It just makes it a bit more bearable.
In my Samsung career I've flashed probably over 100 roms. It doesn't hide the flaws enough. I'm over Samsung and feel sorry for the people who are paying an insane amount of money for a phone with that much lag.
