Been searching for a while trying to find some info on the color depth on the Super AMOLED screens on the Galaxy S line.
Reason being, I have to be very wary of what wallpapers I use on my phone, because many end up looking very bad. You see distinct lines in various gradients as if the color depth of the screen is just very low.
It's a little disconcerting, and confusing, given how great these screens are supposed to be.
For example, there is a new wallpaper Android Central (posted just the other day) featuring their new logo/mascot. The wallpapers looks fine on my LCD monitor on my computer, but when I put them on my phone, I see lines in the background gradient that shouldn't be there. It doesn't seem like the screen can render those 'in-between' colors.
Anyone have any insight on this? Is it in fact the screen? Are other phones like this too?
I did read something about the fact that Android 2.1 maxes at 16bit color but 2.2 remedies this limitation, but I'm not sure if this is accurate, applicable to the situation, or even true.
Thanks in advance.
Download the Acquarium free live wallpaper in the market. The colors look amazing on my phone. There's also the Avatar movie, in the bright scenes the colors really "pop".
Let's hope froyo adds that feature, I've noticed it too on some colors, but its a minor annoyance, I'm sure if android supported larger screen resolution like gingerbread will have, samsung would have put a 1280x720 screen in there. Maybe the S2

As a photographer I put several of my Hi Res works on my Phone. I did not even downsize them and just moved them to the phone so they would not be downsized automatically. I found the Gallery displays them perfectly, all be it with a slight over saturation. But the depth is great, really really good. I have used it as a mini portfolio, its that good.
However if I make any of them a wallpaper the phone dummies the shot way down and I loose sharpness, pixel depth, contrast, even that over saturation I spoke of. Its seems to me the shots are forced down to a "good" wallpaper size to not drain resources maybe? If a large hi res photo is not down sampled in small increments a little at a time it looses a ton of quality. But should not shots made for wallpaper from the market work well too? Maybe the Vibrant dummies all shots down for the wallpaper since all screen sizes are different?
Now if I could only get the Gallery to stop hanging on start up after the Ji6 update...ugh
It could be the stock gallery app that is ****ing up the wallpapers. I recommend using an app called "Wallpaper Set & Save" which allows you to set any size wallpaper without ****ing up the quality. Zedge is another great app with tons of dope wallpapers and doesn't destroy the resolutions of your wallpapers.

Cool! apps like that I was not even aware of. thanks.
I just tried Photoshop Express app for Android to set a Hi Res pic to wallpaper. Fail. It down graded it substantially, It must use the crappy internal phone method also. Gonna check out the recommended apps thanks.
I've been looking for some nice high quality wallpapers for my g2 does anyone know of any? share your fav. wallpapers cuz im just stuck with the stock ones =/
download zedge app from the market, lots of wallpapers and ringtones.
nicee app thanks!
Zedge is great. Also the Appbrain market also has nice HQ wallpapers that can be pushed to your phone from their website. www.appbrain.com then on the right side "Browse Gallery".
You can also try an app called "Backrounds". It's pretty good as well.
Or you can open Photoshop and crop ANY photo/wallpaper/background you want.
That's how I did all mine and i do believe the resolution is 960 by 800.
Hello guys, I'm going to "shamelessly promote" the video I made with the Galaxy S3 unboxing
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bFhWPZsgKM
I had the blue version for a while, now I have the white one... I've made videos presenting the S Voice feature, the camera, the PopUp Play... if you have any other suggestions, please let me know and I'll do my best to help you.
Regards,
Alex.
Nice video. And thankfully for us, it's in English.

Use the GSIII's camera.
A small fun fact : if you noticed, the colors on the boxes are... on the blue version "Metallic Blue" and on the white version "Ceramic White"... Not Pebble or Marble
Also, here's the S-Voice demonstration : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_iFDigHo0Q
Enjoy!
thanks, am looking forward to your video about the notification LED and the multitasking (please try to check the HTC ONE X multitasking videos and try to emulate them)
just seen the s-voice video and it is nice =)
good s-voice demo.....thanks for the time man.
Please also test the text reflow on stock browser. I am particularly interested in seeing whether it can reflow to any zoom level we want and not just to a particular zoom level by double tapping..
Good video. Notification LED on S3 its good to have on it. So slim phone, beautiful design than its previous version, it will dress in Pebble blue and marble white colours. I am going have this device or maybe I choose other one.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPfV...jQPIaifFCRn04fKPZnJCc&lch=email&feature=email - PopUp Play feature
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41fMmfwBnGo&feature=youtube_gdata_player - camera & burst shot
Tomorrow I'll do the led and browser and multitasking ones
I can't test the nfc or the wireless charging, because I don't have the hardware, unfortunately.
Will try with the pink tint
Regards,
Alex.
If you have a note, can you check if the note's 2500 mah battery fits inside the sgs3 ?

When you did the "best shot" demo, one can clearly hear 11 shutter sounds but the phone only takes 8 pics!
Blue vs white?
Thanks for your effort.
Since you´ve had both colors, can you share some impressions? What made you switch?

Nope, the Note's battery is bigger and it has 3 pins, while the S3 battery has 4. So unfortunately, it won't work.

Hmmm... don't know what to say about that. The shutter sound is too fast to be able to make the difference between them. Still, it takes only 8 photos, I assure you of that

I changed because of the circumstances, not because I wanted to change it Don't know what to say about it... I like the white version too, but if I were to pick between them... it'd be hard.
seen a million camera and pop up play vids. pls do led notification
Coming right up YouTube's really slow at uploading... I have 6 videos uploading and it's taking... foreeeeever. You can subscribe and you'll get a message as soon as the video's up & running According to them, the first one, the one with the accesibility features (motion controls & stuff like that) will be online in ~ 20 minutes... so I'm guessing 40-50 min / video... LED Notification is 3rd... so it should be online in ~ 2 and 1/2 hours or so.
Thanks!
Hey guys,
I just wanted to ask that is it just me or anyone else is experiencing this ?
The bug is:
In marshmallow there is very low or no light in some camera apps like retrica, dubsmash, etc. If u go into the sunlight all is OK but if u go indoors even with ample light it'll be so damn dark and u can barely see yourself in both front and rear cameras (yes even with 2 tubelights on). There is no such bug in Lollipop.
Can you guys confirm this. ?
And if anyone can give its solution, i'll be more than thankfull.
Regards,
anshubham
No comments... really. ?
No idea bro, Sorry.
Frustrated with this thing
