Hello!
Some of you maybe have noticed that when the Galaxy S faces the sun, in auto-brightness mode, the color are suddenly boosted by a crazy amount in an attempt to preserve color saturation perception despite the incoming light.
Do you think this is a useful feature helping readability or does it do more harm than good ?
I can disable or tweak it very easily in Voodoo color. I have mixed feelings about this, that's why it's still on, but some people asked me to disable it.
I need your opinion and experience
Please don't vote if you don't understand what it is about and never experienced it.
Thanks !
Note: this color boost is associated only to the automatic 100% brightness level.
that is actually just brightness at 65% or higher
by default on regular operation when the brightness is set to auto it is always below 50% that's why people complain about colour being pale and such
if you set the brightness to 65% or more you can appreciate the full bloom effect of the SAMOLED screen vs AMOLED
i use a simple brightness widget to set it how i want, but it's mostly on auto, except when i want to WOW! people
@AllGamer we don't talk about the same thing.
It's not the standard brightness level, that's something that append only in the situation I described
If you are lucky enough to have a sunny day you can try it by yourself.
I didn't manage to reproduce it using artificial lights, seems that any light i have is not as bright as the sun ^^
i do use the phone outdoor almost on a daily basis, specially during lunch time when we walk to the restaurants meanwhile checking for emails, forums, weather, prices, another restaurant nearby, etc, etc.
so i've seen the screen colour/brightness changes in many different occassions.
unless there is another method to control the colour without controlling the brightness and vice versa, then i'm pretty sure i'm getting the same effects when i manually slide the brightness bar all the way to 100%, 85%, 75%, and 65%
anything less than 60% wont show the blooming colour effect
sorry @AllGamer, you don't get yet ^^
I don't know if you read the original post?
I can show you the source code in kernel if this is necessary.
This special color boost (really extreme color boost) appends:
In auto brightness mode
When it's bright enough to make the auto-brightness mode reach the 100% level (named gamma 24)
When already at auto 100% and screen facing the sun.
Well, that's not so bad, it's just a poll
Here is the link to the source
http://github.com/project-voodoo/sa...nux-2.6.29/drivers/sensor/optical/gp2a.c#L329
Code:
if(autobrightness_mode)
{
if(current_gamma_value == 24)&&(level_state == LIGHT_LEVEL4)
So far I've only experienced that once in my 3 month old SGS. I usually use it indoors.
I think you can replicate that by ticking Outdoor Visibility in the camera app.
Seen it alot of times, It does seem to help quite well, So i say keep it

woops... just tried the Outdoor Visibility and it is not the same as what I experienced before. You really must be outside & under the bright sun. I'll try it again tomorrow.
it just does it to the entire screen but stronger, there is an widget to control screen modes and it can be toggled manually when set to 100%

I pointed at the sensor with a 12LED flashlight (Need to be quite close for the blooming effect to activate, ~5-10cm), and it bloomed away after 3-5 seconds.
I've never been bothered by it and never really noticed it in bright light, so I would think it's a positive feature that helps readability in strong sunlight.

You cannot reach this mode with manual controls.
It depends on data measured by the light sensor, it's in kernel.
well i guess i'll have to install your Modifications, to see if there's really a difference
but from my point of view, when the level at set to 100% looks the same as when the phone is working outdoor under bright sunlight 12 noon lunch time.

It's in every standard kernel!
Ok, I give up ^^
I say keep it. It seems like it would be functional. Looking forward to the warmer colors at more brightness levels, as my phone very rarely runs at 100% brightness.
What I don't like (maybe others agree?) is the sudden drop in brightness at low ambient light levels (not complete darkness).
Thanks for your work on the color issue. This is really what I look forward most to in future voodoo releases!
well it'll definitely be nice to be able to access the bloom effect under low brightness level
i like more colours
i was under the impression supercurio was coding something to do that
Anything that makes the screen better in the sun is a good thing.
Even with the SAMOLED, things can sometimes be harder to see outside, especially while web browsing.
It doesn't matter if the colors are off in the pictures when you can't even read the web page.
Is it possible to make these sort of things configurable by an app on the phone?
Or must these sort of settings be hard-coded into the kernel?
I want to buy a phone that can do widescreen photography with a minimal budget and the xperia neo seems to fit best. Xperia ray has too small a screen for my liking so thats not an option.
Anyways researching the xperia neo I have encountered one big problem, it seems it's display is quite reflective and not as good as the xperia arc outdoors?? Can anyone please confirm if this is the case?
Bad performance outdoors is a complete deal breaker for me. However I have used xperia arc and I found it's display to have excellent outdoor performance. I assumed the xperia neo would be the same but seems like it isnt from the reviews.
One reviewer noted that it's screen is recessed unlike the arc which brings more reflectivity.
Don't know about the screens but I'd say get the Arc if the budget allows it.
Bigger screen, looks better and has more devs like (not 100% sure about devs).

It cracks.
I cant take chances because we dont have any SE service centers here, we get no warranty so if my arc cracks then I'll just have to live with it.
Plus there are a couple of other issues I have with the arc. I want a phone with a camera button and the one on the arc I find as good as not having one at all. Secondly the placement of the sensor at the back is going to cause some trouble as well. The neo has perfect placement and what seems like a fairly comfortable camera button.
Plus it's also noticeably cheaper so I wont be paying the same money for a smaller screen.
Then get the Neo if you find it so much better

I have both, and both have their advantages and problems.
Arc:
+ Display is much better both in colors (warmer, everything looks quite cold on the Neo)
+ Display has more brightness and better in hard sunlight
- Camera position is annoying from time to time
- Shutter key is hard to press
Neo:
+ Better shutter key
+ Better camera placement
- Display has colder tones
- Display not as bright or legible in sunlight
The difference is small, but I think I'd prefer the Neo as a cameraphone simply because of the better camera placement and shutter button.

Use the disable auto brightness app from the market, or flash MIUI, and the Neo's display will become very bright too.
I agree with your last point. I've had phones with a corner placed camera before, and the lens is much easier to cover. (Only when holding it with two hands in landscape though).

Shouldnt the auto brightness make it go maximum bright under sunlight? Or does the auto brightness puts a cap on maximum brightness as well?
Whats the latest version for the neo? With the neo V the automatic brightness is disabled at 100% brightness, is that feature not available on the neo?

I realise phone camera shortcomings and I do have a fairly good sony cybershot camera but I really cant be bothered to carry it around everywhere and thus many a times I am in a situation where I have no camera and a crappy phone.
I wont be rooting my phone, I am not that sort of a power user. I know for sure the neo V disables auto brightness at 100% and has a really bright screen. It would totally suck if sony hasnt brought this feature to the neo, I mean it's a software thing afterall so it cant be a problem for them can it.
Neo and Neo V are identical aside the camera sensor. If you put the brightness on the Neo on 100% it'll just use the maximum brightness at all times.

Auto brightness is indeed disabled when brightness is at 100%, but if you install the disable auto brighness app, the brightness seems like 2 times as high when you set it at 100%. So yes, the brightness is limited without the auto brightness app.
I feel no problems with shutter key on my Arc S.

Now isnt that just stupid sony ericsson.
The display test of xperia neo on gsmarena reveals a 100% brightness of 513nits which is quite remarkable. How come other websites were saying that the display is dim? What gives this is so confusing.
The neo has a contrast of above 1500 at gsmarena review, thats pretty unbelievable surely they have got something wrong?
http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_xperia_neo-review-595p2.php
Btw can you tell me how reflective the display is regardless of brightness?
I think I might have figured this out. In the xperia arc review at gsmarena they show a max brightness of just 134 for xperia neo. They hadnt yet reviewed the neo. One month later they give a full review to neo and it's max brightness is off the roof.
Was there some software problem that was later fixed? Maybe most of the reviews talking about poor sunlight performance had the version which was seriously crippled with brightness?
I use the widgetsoid widget to control the brightness (AUTO) on my ARC and it works really well.
As for the cracks - had my phone for over 4 months and not a single crack at all.
Have found the camera very good in good light and ok in poorer light. Yes the button is tricky so I use the 'touch' screen option.
Only downside (from any camera phone) is that there isn't any optical zoom but there is nothing you can do about it.
Hope this helps!
I am totally buying the neo if it's display is actually what it seems like at gsmarena.
0.31 black with 513 brightness, no other non sony phone can do this with an LCD.
I need more xperia neo owners to comment please and especially those who have used both arc and neo.
Nevermind I bumped into this thread and it seems like gsmarena got some magical units and most other people dont experience such brightness levels.

Thanks guys, I dont think I'll be getting the neo.
For the test, I used some professional light measuring equipment (my DSLR).
I captured an image at F/2.8, ISO 400, at 0 EV. Maxed out brightness on the Note 2, with Auto adjust screen tone off (important). I used a completely white picture shot at the same distance.
Before update:
Shutter speed 1/125s
After update:
Shutter speed 1/500s!
That is exactly 2 full stops. Or 4 times the original brightness.
Now, 400% sounds like a lot, like it would blind you. I don't want to create an over-expectation. It's seems adequately bright in a well lit room, where previously in that same room, the phone maybe seemed kinda dim.
I previously posted when I first got my original Galaxy Note II, that I was a little disappointed because people kept saying it is the brightest screen they ever had, and mine was far from that. But maybe those people saying that had something like this originally, but I just got it now. And it is beautiful.

Camera is just fine. It is a precision instrument and I have definitive proof with 2 JPG and CR2 files with EXIF information. But maybe the Korean Note 2 was configured to be dimmer than the Note 2 that you have.
Funny thing is iPhone 5 was just released this week, and that screen is cranked up to super bright when put next to the Note 2. It is a shocking comparison, but now the Note 2 can hold it's own. But maybe they didn't want the negative press and decided to enable the brighter mode for the Korean customers as well.
If your thought your screen was never that dim in bright settings, maybe it will not impact your screen at all. On the other hand, if you were disappointed with the screen's brightness bright rooms or show rooms, then you may be very surprised when the update is applied. No promises. I heard through the grapevine from another XDA member I should expect a big boost in brightness, and I did want to confirm it so I prepared my camera to do testing before I hit update, and after. The improvement has exceeded my expectations.

are you sure u shot the photos in the same conditions ? same lightning / sun in the room? totall darkness room ?
but if its 400% brighter you should see difference by ur bare eyes.
4.1.1 to 4.1.2 made no difference in brightness here.
the only thing i seems to notice is that my screen has become sharper. since 4.1.2
also making pictures with the phones cam has improved 200% in dark places also the flash timing and photo taking has improved. i noticed

Yes, I did it in a controlled lighted environment. It was a scientific test. I understand light, and how to measure it very accurately because of my years studying photography.
With that said, my model is a Korean SHV-E250L Galaxy Note 2. I got it OTA from my carrier yesterday. The maximum brightness when I got the phone, originally was not as bright as I had hoped. And I just didn't understand how people were saying it was the brightest screen they had. I thought it was just some fake reviews of people trying to promote their haphazardly written reviews that was written with rumors than actual time with the device.
But now I know that some people got really bright Note 2's out of the box, and some didn't. I'm just hoping that people who wished that their Note 2 was a lot brighter, because they think it is dim, may experience the same effect with an update when it arrives.

Here are the JPEG and CR2's. These pics are not glamour product shots. They are for the purposes of measurements off a highly calibrated light measuring device. You have to look at the EXIF information. The whole point is to take the same picture with the same level of brightness, by only exposing the sensor to 1/4 of the original open shutter time. The shutter speed indicates change in brightness because trying to evaluate a picture being brighter with people's eyes is always subjective.
Here's additional test information.
Camera: Canon 20D
Lens: Canon 60mm Macro F2.8
Light Metering: Center Weighed
ISO: 400
F-stop: F/2.8
0 EV
Phone settings:
100% Brightness
Auto Brightness off
Auto adjust screen tone off
Model: SHV-E250L
The Test:
Before update:
Shutter speed 1/125s - 1/160s
After update:
Shutter speed 1/500s - 1/640s
If you know a bit of photography, you will see that it was a good test with all the right settings. It was done in a room with a very dim controlled light source. It would be impossible to do a test like this with a point & shoot.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/520h0j18tqni5l4/brightnesschange.zip
Again, sounds like not everyone will get this boost, but some people have gotten it. Some people didn't. I just wanted some concrete numbers, hearing that I may notice this. I wanted more definite proof than say something like "yeah, it definitely kinda seems brighter."
So I did this right before and after the update. And I'm glad I did because even with these concrete numbers, people seem to not believe. I can only provide the facts for my device.
I have also noticed higher brightness. Now my eyes becomes tired faster than before

If it would be 400% brighter then it would exceed at least 800 candela, making it brighter than even the most powerful LCD screens by quite the margin.
Sorry but somebody clearly DOESN'T understand light. Deducting brightness from a camera's shutter speed is failure at logic because they are not directly correlated. The camera can have a logarithmic response to light output in the shutter response.
The scientific method is to use a photometer and nothing else.
Let's try to figure this out.
Gsm arena puts Galaxy Note II at 402cm/2, they put iPhone 5 at 640cm/2.
So these are the possible scenarios:
1. Your Note II is now brighter than iPhone 5.
2. Before the update, your Note II model was dimmer than all others and now it's comparable.
3. You really have no idea what you are talking about.
So what we need is a comparison with iPhone and other Notes!
I myself just flashed a 4.1.2 Rom with matching kernel I did not notice any brightness difference.
I also studied the kernel source for your model "update 1", there were some differences in values for the display driver. But I'm not 100% what they do.

Whatever people are saying GSM Arena keep saying the S4 has one of the best screen under sunlight
However, the end result is strongly in favor of the Samsung Galaxy S4. It took a small step back compared to the Galaxy S III, but it still has one of the best screens to use in direct sunlight. The LG G2 has a fairly disappointing sunlight legibility score of just under what the Apple iPhone 4 managed. Apple has greatly improved its screens since, while the G2 is beaten by a midrange HTC Desire 600 dual sim (to be fair the higher end HTC One mini is actually worse)

That it is CR#P in direct sunlight. Almost unusably bad.
I would say is not very good, but is far better than my previous phones: razr maxx and xperia arc.
It is pretty bad under direct sunlight because it reflects so much light... After using the HTC One it does feel like crap in direct sunlight
Well the only best way to use it in sunlight is to put the brightness all the way up. If its down than its crap

Automatic brightness +5?
I heard it's pretty much usable with these settings,just slightly less than the One.
Btw if HTC doesn't fix my purple camera on my One with the 4.3 update I am cconsidering the S4 or G2
Worse than the S2 in full sunlight regardless of what brightness settings you use (even on 100%).
Can you try this app?
It boost the brightness beyond stock's limit, I tested it on my One and I clearly have at least +10% brightness on max levels.

Rate this thread to express how well you can see the OnePlus 7 Pro's display outdoors. In case you've been playing Minecraft for 18 months straight, you might not known how to get outside anymore. Well, find the door and walk through it. A higher rating indicates that it has very high maximum brightness and thus fantastic outdoor visibility in direct sunlight.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

It does ok. Not nearly as well as the 5t, has a lot of glare issues so you will naturally be trying to hold it at specific angles. The 5t was more natural and you could just walk and read and natural motion wouldn't reflect as much. I'm trying to get used to it. Screen is massive and I really like the real estate it has.
Mines looks pretty good. If I compare with my favorite (from my prev devs - Samsung note 4) - OP7 pro doing very well on direct sunlight (no concerns at all, pretty much like note)
I frequently use Google maps in full Florida sun with this thing mounted on the handlebars of my motorcycle. Never have trouble seeing it, even with sunglasses on.
Very readable even in direct sun light
Pretty good but a notch below my S8 +.
The best since my s6 edge+ while rooted using high brightness. The high brightness mods makes it the best I've ever used. Just put an iPhone X Max and Xr to shame today.

The Device performs very well and is not a problem about outdoor visibility.
I came from an SGS8 so my experience had been really good. Top-notch, really. The 1+7 Pro is worse. It isn't bad though, it's still great. Also, there seems to be an issue with the automatic brightness. Where the S8 would, due to the conventional light sensor, turn the brightness up and down seemingly even before any change happened, the 1+ struggles a bit. It takes time. I've heard people describe how it doesn't work at all and they have to adjust it manually, so far, I only had delay issues.

That's the main downside for these full screen display devices: the ambient light sensor has a cutout under the OLED layer but the screen can interfere with what the sensor sees. I can sometimes be in a dark room and brightness adjusts to the appropriate level but it can read the light being emitted around the cutout as an increase in light and boost the brightness up pretty high.
I find that after some time the autobrightness issues kind of die down, same with the proximity sensor during calls since that too is under the display
At points i couldn't really make out the screen in sunlight with max brightness. Might be because of the memory film protector on the front. ElementalX kernel is my saviour for the high brightness mode at the moment
Very bright
Very very good and with high brightness mode it's even better. Never seen such a nice display
