Yes. apparently it was optimized to maximize energy savings. I talked about this predstoviteli xiiaomi (about the choice of processor). and modem module malnourished. this poor communication

You know of any way of getting it brighter? without root, as I am of yet unable to root it.

At the minimum brightness level, the brightness really gets a lot low. I can't use the device at that low brightness, so I never use it at that level. If I have to use it in low brightness, I use it at 10/100.

Standard, always.
Dynamic is too rich for me. Movie is, poor.
I actually prefer movie, apart from when I watch a movie, when I change to standard... Retarded right?

I use Dynamic. It's like a constant live HDR mode. This is the single reason why I return to stock each time I try a new CM7 nightly.
Movie. Switched to Standard for a day and got poor battery life so I put it back onto movie. Standard is a lot nicer picture though.
Dynamic!! The colours in dynamic mode make my eyes have orgasm. Yeah, I cry from happiness. PP
Dynamic has too much contrast, you will loose a lot of detail in shadows.
Standard, Dynamic offers too much saturation for my taste.
Dynamic ftw, specially if u have a screen protector on, they kinda level out one another
Standard for me....

ditto.......
Movie is best. The other two are harsh and over saturated.
I am using standard, never played around with it really.
Used Standard for now but will try movie to see how much difference there is in battery life.
Dynamic is plain folly to use unless you have a very bad eye sight already.

lighter spot on gray background on the screen ??

i just noticed 2 spots one on the right and the other on the left
they appear as lighter than surrounding area in a gray background only in low brightness
they are ill defined .... not a ring
i ll post a pic later on
any help about this ??
I believe this is a limitation on the SAMOLED+ ( was not there on the original SAMOLED ) some phones dont have this un-uniformity of rendering greys but probably a good majority have.

i searched before posting but didn't found any similar thread
so whats the problem ..... is it normal
it is not obvious but it is annoying to have it in a new device only
in normal use i don't see it but the only screen that i can see it when looking for battery usage as it gives the screen a plain gray color

You have 3 choices:
1. Do nothing - no problem under normal use, so why whine?
2. Return the phone.
3. Find one of the 306507 threads involving screen defects and filled with the rantings of some of the most disturbed people you could ever wish to meet. Won't "cure" your phone, but it may be of some succour.
I recommend #3 for you.

[Q] AOSP Battery life?

I've been on CM for a while now, and had a week back on TW, where i noticed the battery life to be four times better, so i'm wondering if theres a way to archive just half as good battery performance on an AOSP rom? that would really be wonderful.

Yeah the profile feature really is a lifesaver. My Note can last the last 10% on standby overnight, and when I wake up I can continue charging.

Desaturate the screen

Is there a way to completely desaturate the screen(washed out colors on the 6p)?…. When I first bought the 6p in Nov., I had to return it because the screen's warm and sharp colors gave me bad headaches( I am visually impaired). I currently use a lenovo vibe x3 that allows me to change the warm and cold color sliders, and saturation. Sliders in display settings... I have to keep them to the lowest or else I get terrible headaches...
With cool stuff I Android n I am tempted to use the 6p, but not too sure if it is possible to fix it via root now?
Thnx
Thnx

Try sRGB mode?

You can make screen colors what ever way you like with custom kernel and app like exkm
Srgb does not stick after a reboot

For that I have to root, which means looking at the screen for some time... I would definitely faint by the time I am done with rooting and installing the custom kernel ..
Can you also posts screen shot of the interface for kernel manager color settings. I only see red blue green on his play store screen shots.. where are the cool warm and saturation sliders?
Something like the attached pic

Thx for the screenshot bro.. I have always been s Nexus user since the galaxy Nexus and was heart broken when I had to return the 6p after using it for an hour... I have since missed rooting and the timely updates,but was inclined to give it another try since the prices are down.
This screenshot gives me confidence, but I am still a bit shaky as last time I had a headache for a week when I used the stock screen with saturated colors..
I know this phone is not for me(emotionally hurt). [emoji24]

Dark line on display

My 9T display when there is low light, the brightness is set to low and the image I see on the display is darkish I can see a vertical line at the right side of the display, is this normal or should I return It?
multiple users reported similar issues with low brightness, some said it's a rom issue but to be sure, post a screenshot or something and wait for others to respond.

Exactly in the same place, I think it's a recurring problem on this model.

Replaced the phone and there is no line in the new one, you should return It.
I don't have something like that on mine. Looks like banding to me, like on TVs. It can happen, it's probably not important. Screens aren't perfectly uniform.
