My friend compared maps on his nexus s against my sensation, and I noticed something I hadn't seen before, the amount of red in our background. I know there is a rgb colour fix for Samsung phones, and I was wondering if somebody could work with ours to figure put and correct the problem. Anyone able to actually do this?

You can't really compare 2 different devices that have different hardware. BUT when I got my wife's sensation and put it next to mine I did notice that hers had a orange/yellow tinge to it.
there has been a lot of discussion on that. i also hav a red/orange tint at several angles. from what i have read the sensation screens are built by 2 or 3 different compsnies and i believe the sharp screen is the only one (whhich the tmob stores use as displays) that stays white at any angle. no display fix that i know of but there is a siscussion in general that talks about this issue and tells u how to check which screen u have. several have exchanged theirs. i have the aus or something like that http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131592
check this out app called screen adjuster on post 1243 read around a little supposed to only change blue so read up lol hope this helps u nik http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131592&page=125
If the screen have some tint when looking straight, try using SCREEN ADJUSTER from market.

Do you use it? what do you recommend the blue/green settings to be at?
Yes. I have USED before.
Basically it depends on your screen. Not all screens the same. I use to keep green3 & blue3 in stock ROM.
just try to adjust with some white background......

Tried googling it but didn't find anything exactly like this.
Basically when I have auto brightness there are times when i won't move my phone whatsoever or any lighting around it and the brightness go from dim to bright couple secs back to dim and so on for no reason.
Could it be a faulty sensor or firmware related?
I had stock and few custom roms and its happening on all of them.
Idk if I should send to htc for repkacemt or are any you experiencing same thing and expect this to be fixed with update?
It's so annoying and although I could put a constant screen brightness I don't want to.
Thanks in advanced !!

I find that a lot of times when I'm holding my phone in landscape that my left hand covers the sensor. As I'm typing it will move enough to generate a change, and then move back to undo it. Just my .02.

Yes I don't hold in landscape and I will literally just put phone on table and the brightness goes back and forth without stopping.
And I'm positive no light is changing or ne movements ...

I think you have what I have and maybe its just a faulty sensor?
Then again if it gets brigght it dies adjust accordingly and otherway around its just it never stops and imagine reading even this forum at night on phone and every eight seconds gets brighter and eight seconds later gets dim and so on.
It's so annoying I think I'm gonna send my phone in
I'm just scared to because i had no other issues at all that others had and don't wanna risk a different problem ....

I think he's talking about the vertical lines of lower brightness you can see when the screen is dim especially in the gray. I think that's a problem with all plus displays.

I switched back to oggs2 no screen issue... I tried.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
It's a known issue with the T-Mobile GS2 that also affects the Skyrocket.
Mine has it also. Most or all have it to some degree.
To see it best, just set your display to about 1/3 brightness and then drop down the notification bar and look at the lower solid grey portion. You'll see the verticle lines/haziness.
I had the same issue with my Atrix but I haven't seen it yet with my G2S.
Maybe it's a quality issue. I've had my Skyrocket for a few days now and didn't notice a single problem with the screen. I was aware of this issue with the T-mobile version so when I switched my OGS2 to the Skyrocket I kept checking for this screen problem. On the other hand my office mate bought a Skyrocket and he noticed the problem that the OP was having. He returned it the next day, got a new one and no problem since.
I am guessing the reason this effects the T-Mobile version and this one is due to the stretching of the screen to 4.5" and staying at a resolution of 800X480.
It is pretty crazy how people who have the skyrocket ignore that the screen looks awful when dim. Its even worse that Samsung has not stopped production to fix the problem either. You would think the white one would come with a fixed screen. Usually by this time you have people writing reviews and ranting about phone defects on YouTube, yet with this phone nothing. Just hoping someone agrees with me and maybe we can stick these problem up samsungs behind.

Dont think anyone cares that much
Why use the screen dimmed? Kinda defeats the purpose of having a super amoled

Agreed.
I have mine set at 50% and its bright enough for me all the time.
I never go lower than that though, so I personally never experience poor screen quality.

I've never notice the problems mentioned throughout the forum regarding dim settings and colors/lines. I'm sure that to a good eye mine is too afflicted.
One a side note, took my screen protector off today, and man! is that screen gorgeous. It's gonna be hard to put it back on, but I learned that lesson with the Atrix when I took it's protection off and it hit the ground.
You see, and that is the problem. You are ignoring to issue. So when your in a dark room you have your screen full brightness? I don't so it does bother me.

I agree my screen sucks at low brightness. I mainly run my low to save power only turn it up when outside. I wrote a review on Samsung site and did give a bad review on the screen.

I just picked up a white skyrocket yesterday and I've got the screen issues / lines. Looks like a "brushed metal" overlay on top of everything.
I'm going to be getting it exchanged for a new one tomorrow.

Maybe I got lucky... I've had my I727-SR for about 4wks now and haven't experienced the screen lines / screen problems others are posting.... I consistently run at low brightness with a screen protector and screen looks perfect.... no lines, blobs or other anomalies.

just picked one up today. white one.
i see the lines below 50% brightness. above, they are gone.
I believe this is just a simple issue of having the same pixel density of the galaxy S2 but with a larger screen.
this should be device wide.......i dont see why people should have different results....
edit: i have it only above 30% brightness actually....
No problems here... at 0 it still looks great, no lines or weird issues

I have personally seen this vary from device to device. what may not be that bad on yours could be 20x's worse on another. others of us are in fact picky and expect more for what we paid for this device.
To each their own

playing video
When I play video ie Netflix YouTube etc I notice that the picture quality is not.what I expect.from a 250$ phone. I love this phone and that is.my only complaint. I have tried.adjusting.the brightness but it doesn't seem to help. Is this a problem that all are having?
I just got the Skyrocket today and just now turned the brightness all the way down and did not see any issues with screen clarity. Looks pretty good to me.
Infused with Android DNA
Mine has the same issues. However, they are ignorable if you customize the look of your phone. I changed the screen density and customized my phone with a dark bg and modified system apks.

Hi,
My nexus s is new and since day 1 i just use it with 0 brightness.after hours of exploring, i noticed that when i open up the keyboard for more than 10secs and drag down the notification bar the keyboard boxes can still be clearly seen.its like a shadow of the keyboard imprinted in the notifiaction.noticed this in market as well when searching for apps the keyboard shadow can be clearly seen.also more than 5 sec static on your homescreen,after that i drag down i can clearly see the icons shadows in the grey notifocation bar. Is this normal? All of you have this behavior when on 0 brightness?or do i have a weak display?its kind of annoying sometimes.

Its sort of a burn image. The blues fade out and get a yellow haze. You can test this by displaying a blue image for example google image blue and zoom in. Auto brightness and sleeping the ohone when not using will keep the colors rich. I had a vibrant that did the same thing.

Digitizer is just a touch sensor... If he has dead pixels he needs to change the whole screen.
Perhaps a cable got loose in the phone. But I wouldn't bet on it.
Anybody know of any other fixes? I really don't want to open this phone
Sent from my Sensation 4G using XDA
Restore the phone to stock and use your warranty? That's what I did when I had a dead pixel.
As a last resort, there are a few more to try, although you've probably tried them all!:

I'm skeptical myself, but it's worth a shot.
Let us know how you get on if you find any "Miracle Apps".

i have stuck pixel and use this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.htc.chris.blackspotdetect
but my stuck pixel is from when i bought it, not because i drop my phone.
Ive had some luck with using a damp cloth that has been heated in water and put in a plastic bag, I used it to rub some of the pixels back. Its improved alot, not perfect yet but I will keep everyone posted. Also I still have some dark green stuck pixels. Those apps help but not much. Any other suggestions?
Thanks everyone
