[Q] Hue around text - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

There seems to be a white hue or shadow around the text on my note. I can't recall if this was there originally or if this is some setting my kids somehow found that I cannot find. It's pretty annoying though. It doesn't show up on screenshots but I took a screenshot and then took a picture with my phone and you can see the white banding on the photo that isn't on the screenshot.
Is this a setting, a Samsung thing or something gone wrong with my hardware?

Yes there's a setting for this.
What you are seeing is sharpening that is added to the screen by default (note - it won't be saved in your drawing, it's added by the Note's screen). There is a setting called "Screen mode" (if I remember correctly) under "Display". If you change this to "Movie" it disables the colour boost and the sharpening. You'll still have good colour and sharpness, it just won't have extra boost applied.
Setting this to movie was one of the first things I did, after I realised everything was over-sharpened and over-saturated. They do this so it looks good in a showroom next to a bunch of other displays by other manufacturers. On its own you probably will prefer accuracy over mega-saturation and mega-sharpness.

Ahh.. much better. Thank you!

Lastnight, Me and Wife were looking at Negative Films that were never develop and they were taken way way back before she was baby, grade school to high school. It was fun, though you’re looking at the pictures in inverted colors so it was bit of ..
So after that, I thought of something doing what I have thought before, scanning the negative pictures on a flat bed scanner but sadly after scanning, and inverted the colors in Corel, all we can see is cyan and white colors and barely can see that picture. I tried putting the negative film in front of my LCD screen and I thought, “yeah, why not add a little backlight?” hehe, so I scanned the negative film again pressed with my HTC Touch ELFIN with backlight on and the brightness were set to maximum. After scanning, it was awesome! though am not sure why it turned in grayscale but that’s fine at least we saw something and the image were very clear! Though bit of worried in my Canon Pixma MP198 – Lamp!, because everytime she want to look at something, of course I have to do a re-scan.

[Q] Windows Phone text color changed

I have a Samsung Focus on a custom ROM. I really don't know what happened but the text color of my Focus has changed from white to teal. Maybe a friend or someone messed up the settings, but I want to get it back to the default text color. This is a major problem especially in the black background where the white text is replaced with teal when the theme is in some other color.
On the white background, the text comes in teal only in the pictures hub, while it doesn't in any other place. My guess is something's wrong in the registry editor and it needs to be rectified. If there's anyway to correct this problem it would be helpful.
I've attached a the links of a couple of images of the phones to explain the problem better.

Check under:
My Device\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Themes\ either 0 or 1. That is my best guese. Good luck.
Yes, I know about that, but what values have to be changed?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I think it's under the folder "1" for dark themes, and change the TextNeutralColor from #XXXXXXX to #FFFFFFFF (which is white)
Hope this helped you

[Q] Weird red/blue/green faded areas on screen on black background (not dead pixels)

Hey everyone! I have a bit of an issue with my nexus 5. Recently a small area (about .5cm by .5cm) has had a faded red circle with two slightly smaller faded circles (one green and one blue) beside it appear on any black/dark background. Its definitely a hardware issue, as I've tested for the problem with several different apps/pictures. It doesn't make the phone unusable, but it is very annoying when viewing a dark image or video. Similar red areas are present in the lower left corner of my n7 2013 but they are very dim and I hardly ever notice them. They look like this:

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I can get a better picture if necessary, but this is pretty much what it looks like.
I tried searching for others with the problem, but all I could find were hundreds of posts about dead pixels. Does anyone know what this is? Is there anything I can do short of buying a new LCD? Thanks.

Ink Spots/Black Dots Common Display Problem. Plz check your S7 Device

Hey folks
Anyone else having some black dots/ink spots on their brand new Galaxy S7? I recognize this issue while watching movies on my phone at night...
This problem already exist on older AMOLED Display like the S3(old XDA thread-> http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/galaxy-s3-black-ink-spots-help-t1715936/page4)
, but was solved after this generation. Sadly they seem to be back now!
Can you plz test your device and giving some feedback, if i just got bad luck or is it a common issue again.
Use following setup to test it:
- use the uploaded "grey" pic or any super dark/grey picture
- be in a dark room. you cant check it at daylight
- set display brightness to manual and get set it to minimum brightness
I'll also will upload a picture to show you how it looks on my phone. But be aware that this dot is arranged with paint, since none of my cams can capture this issue. Anyway position and size are correct.

Gallery - picture frame coloring annoyance

Am I the only one that finds the Gallery framing colors so annoying when they keep going from white to black and back to white?
Half the time when I swipe to look at the next pic, the gallery thinks I want to edit, and when the edit row appears the framing turns White... WHY SAMSUNG? Keep it black in edit mode as well!!

I'm with you....it's annoying in many aspects....as well as with the navbar from app to app
Yep, it's annoying. Samsung must sell the majority of their phones to North Korea. The North Koreans use the phones as a lamp when the power goes out. Why else would Samsung put a bright white background on every frickin app. Unfortunately the North Koreans can not eat the phone.

Did you find anyway to turn the background black? I miss my note 3 comprehensive integrated out of the box black UI on Kitkat 4.4!!
