Was wondering if someone could make an app that adjusts the rgb? I would love to be able to add and adjust the color on my tbolt. Is this even possible?
Nope. The case is painted black. If you want a different color, look at the silicone skins which are available.

Reading comprehension fail.
To the OP, I don't think there's anyway to do it. Its not like a TV or PC monitor.

There's the configuration available in cyanogen called Render Effect...
It doesn't allow you to make specific adjustments to individual color channels but if you're looking to simply warm or cool the display, it's sort of what you're looking for. It also allows some cool effects like completely shutting of G & B... sort of a "night mode" effect.
I thought at one point that it was available outside of CM but I can't seem to find anything available... Anyone?

Its strange but noticed that my phones whit coloring looks a little more greenish than my.friends vibrant. And then i compared my captivate to my gfs and here whites r more white colored like my friend.
I don't get it, did a lot if the models come with different screens that display differently?

seems like someone needs a little more research
wait what no the whole entire galaxy s line has super amoled hmm its maybe the tint thats changed a little
A Super ALOMED screen is still AMOLED.
Anyway, just because it is the same model screen doesn't mean there are not variations in the mfg process that could cause slight differences. With the amount of screens that they are pushing out I am sure they are using equivelent components that may not be exactly the same.
Also depending on the allowed tollerances, 2 screen with slighly different temperature ratings could both still pass QA.
Personally my screen is very cold, whites tend to have a slight tint of blue to them. I prefer warmer displays but the SAMOLED is too nice to ignore even if the picture is cold.
It's possible that the screens are going through a rapid break-in process and the screens look different because they have been used different amounts.
Or it could just be differences within manufacturing tolerances.
Well this all makes sense. Mine has a greenish tiny, my gf and frie.d have a warmer orange redish tint and i have a lil blue green tint.
This follows the rgb thing in a way. I think different screen manufacturers favor one of the latter.

That's funny cause the AT&T commercial specifically says "The first and only Super AMOLED screen" or something of that nature....
screen is fine, got mine on launch day,,,im sooooo loving this phone,i was using omnia2....

They may make the screen, but that doesn't mean they make all the materials used to manufacture the screen.
Different materials cause wider manufacturing tolerances. It's not different manufacturers favoring one color over another in this situation.
I really wish there could be a straight answer instead of speculating why our phones are cooler and warmer in color. I mean the screen still looks freakin great, but i wonder if there is a way to manipulate it through software.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I agree. I would love it if phones finally started letting you adjust color temperature like computers.
My screen is also blue. I´m waiting it to go away in time, but I´m really sceptic about it...
It´s easy to test after you download somekind of a flashlight app and use it in the dark, mine gives the same blueish light like those cheap led-flashlights, so definytely not real whites in my unit...

There is no such thing as real white when it comes to light (what your screen is putting out). I would prefer the screen to be warmer, but it is still white.
For more information look up color temperature.
The HTC Desire and Nexus one on Cyanogen Mod both allow you to adjust gamma settings via software. So this can definitely be corrected. All it requires is additional dev magic and a dab of patience.

That's interesting,i hope someone is working on color temperature too.
Somebody else mentioned it but "manufacturer tolerance" is what causes this. It would be possible to make them all exactly the same, but the costs of the device would go up significantly. Usually the difference is so minute that most people never notice.
You see the same thing with mass produced digital projectors and tvs. If you were to take 10 new projectors of the same model and line them up side by side you would find not all the pictures were exactly the same. Due to manufacturer tolerance some may be slightly brighter or dimmer and colors may be a little more vibrant on another.
Blue Tint
Yes, Super Amoleds are coming in all forms of Tint. Some are lucky to get nice warm whites. Other people get green, blue, greenish blue, or even yellow tints.
maybe even pink tint like the amoled on zune hd

There's a LOT of variable there, like texture and what it's made of. But, I have an idea... I don't know how cheap it is, but trucking companies have been plastering their rides with graphics for years. I'd try to find one of the companies that does those trucks or "wrap your vehicle in company BS" vinyls and see if they can do it. They stuff they use is nigh impossible to remove and is pretty rugged (trucking companies use heat guns to remove it). The only other option I can think of would be a screening process, but that would call for custom screens for every color and is usually only done for mass production.
Just my thoughts...
As far as I know:
OLED is transparent, and doesn't need a backlight (as it provides its own).
So why can't you have an eInk display behind the OLED display? Switch off the OLED when you want to use the eInk, and turn the OLED back on when eInk is done?
For touchscreen usage, instead of glossy glass for capacitive, use infrared or acoustic pulse (what the Kindle Touch uses), so it's not glossy at all (to read eInk and OLED screens better).
If OLED screen requires a dark back panel to show the colors effectively, use the eInk display to show all black >.>.
That actually sounds like a really good idea, I would buy a phone like that.
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA App
Yes, really good idea - if black BG is needed for OLED, keeping eInk black doesn't consume any power at all.
Well, you can contact some manufacturer and tell them your idea
If I was you I would really edit your post to say that this is your idea and no one else can propose this, because I really think if you were to propose this it would go through.

There's a transparent circle on my screen and you can see it wherever you are on the phone but I can't send or I guess post a photo cause I believe its s hardware issue, nfc chip maybe? I think it's in a circle. Is anyone else having this problem? What should I do about it?

Where is it located?
Someone said that it is caused by the vacuum cup that is used to handle the display glass (during the manufacturing process)

That may be closer to an answer.

I've always had this weird circle problem on my screen but didn't think much of it. It's mostly only noticeable with a solid color, like dark gray. Since I've been running ICS, there's a lot more gray in use, especially on the Contact screen and it's getting to be a little annoying.
Here is a picture of my phone and the image I created for the test. View this image on your phone and see if the circle shows up.
Maybe a relative is trying to contact you from beyond?
I like californiarailroader answer, but It is probably due to a suction cup like was stated before. Co-worker puts one on my protected screen at work and it leaves a similar mark. I would just buff it off

well no need to see it on my phone cause this is exactly what it looks like but mines lower and on the left. but wow. is it a normal thing for ns4g????? how do i fix it?
Hey everyone, I bought my HTC One S used, and at a discounted price because of screen burn-in. The burn-in isn't noticeable at higher brightness settings, but when there is a dark background applied, or when the backlight is dim, you can clearly see burned in areas.
Has anyone had any success using any burn-in removal techniques with apps like Display Tester?

What exactly is screen burn-in? Is it the same as the screen has different color depending on what angle you are looking at it? My experience is when i look directly on my screen, it show some yellowish in white background, but when i tilt it forward or backward, the white becomes white with no yellowish color. And when i turn it sideways it become pinkish.. do you think my screen is busted? Or is it what you call the screen burn-in?

^-That's a good example of what a screen burn (or is it image retention?) looks like. Found this image on Google just for the purpose of an example, it's clearly not from an HTC One S haha
My friend who uses the HTC Sense clock has developed minor screen burn from having the clock widget in the same place since day one of his phone

TC is probably referring to ghosting. Kinda like
http://www.pixeltuneup.com/images/screenburn.jpg
or to a lessor extend but more common

Notice the faint icons? As to fixing it, I don't believe there is a way other than replacing the screen. It happens when an image is displayed without movement. It sort of "burns" into the screen, and when viewing something else, its slightly visible, thus "ghosting"
As for the yellow tint you see in the whole screen, I believe some displays are just like that.

tbh i wonder what would happen if you attempted to burn in the color inverted (dont do it, lol)
But most likely a new screen, which isn't too expensive.
If you had a big enough discount, it'd be no problem.
