"should" Just being able to use the internet does not make one smart.

True. But surely its common sense to check the settings

Color calibration?

Is there any way to change the color calibration on the display? I want to raise the blue levels because I'm a bigger fan of a cool color tone and the whites on the g2x are more than an off white. (compared to my mt4g with good lcd where whites are bright white)
I have heard about the color calibration hack for the nexus one but I don't know if it'll work on the leaded gingerbread ROM from paul o'brien
If you don't know what I'm talking about go to the color settings on your computer monitor or tv and change from "cool" to "normal". The g2x is more like the normal setting while i like the cool setting better.
I posted a link already. There is a calibration tool in the Nexus One forums that you can use. I don't think the G2x needs it though. Mine looks natural.

I'm fine with all the colors except for white, I'm a bigger fan of a more bluish white like on the iphone.
I'll give the nexus one thing a try but i think a bunch of people who tried it on the g2x it force closed. Not sure about the leaked gb rom though so I'll try it and report back
the flash aborted because it says amend scripting is no longer supported since android 1.5?
I also tried installing both apk's and they both force close when I try to do anything
pretty sure you have to be on cm7 for it to work
Is it just my specific device or are the whites on this phone not really true white but more like off-white? If u compare it to the mytouch 4g with good lcd there's a big difference. Although this device does have truer blacks.

Every LCD is different. Even if the phones are the same model. Mine has a bit of a red tint when showing white but its only noticeable if I look at it next to my Vibrant.

I know different phones have different color tones but I just wanted to know if it was just my device where whites weren't true white because some people have been talking about a yellow or orange tint. I'm expecting a replacement phone to arrive next week so I guess I'll do a comparison when it arrives.
Looks fine to me, but really I'm all about resolution. Colors can vary and sounds can be medium quality and I probably won't notice a difference.

Meaning if you took a number of G2x and put them side by side none of them would be completely identical. So its not just you that has a slightly off screen.

Well thats why I want to change the color settings because the high levels of red in the whites are really bothering me.

Hi everybody,
Before I ordered my nexus 5 i 32gb read this
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Nexu...h-new-speaker-grill-and-fixed-Buttons_id50321
And receiving the old Revision with the smaller speaker grill and wobbly Buttons TODAY is a slap in the Face.
What would you do??? Should i Sent it back? Is there a Chance of getting a new Revision 32gb black Model?!

Again, not every single screen is made equal and it would not be cost-effective (or effective in any way for LG) to calibrate them all individually. If you use a custom kernel there are ways to calibrate it yourself.

Can i ask what device you came from ? I actually like the stock colours, they are pretty accurate, its a warmer display .. if you came from a Samsung device it might seem too yellow, but thats because AMOLED screens are generally cold displays

Hmm... You are actually right. I have a samsung S3. Its a bit colder and of Course Not as bright as the nexus. But still i have a iPad mini and it is also an IPS Display and the colors are also much more colder. In fact for me it Seems to be more accurate.

[Q] AMOLED cinema mode.

Hi, so I am currently set to the AMOLED cinema mode in settings/display/screen mode as it helps with my red green colorblindness. However, I am wondering if the over saturated color gamut of cinema mode will possibly accelerate the rate of screen degradation.
To reiterate, will having my screen set to a more saturated setting speed up the process of screen burn in/degradation?
You'll be on to the next flagship before that happens...

Yes, but I just wanted to know if there was any kind of difference using this screen setting, as I plan to keep this phone for about 2 years.

No, of course not. That's ridiculous.
AMOLEDs are known to suffer from burn in, but they've gotten a lot better than they used to be.

Why exactly wouldn't the higher levels of saturation lead to faster burn of those subpanel colors?

Quite right sir. Plus if something does happen I have insurance on it, so I suppose it is rather silly to be fretting over such minor issues

I've broken two screens in a month and paid $400. I also have an s3 from 3 years ago that is impeccable. Screens are built to last for a very long time if taken care of. If not, just get a new one [emoji4]

Yep, I know for a fact the S2 I had before my now old M7 had ridiculous notification bar burn in (out?), never had that problem with the M7's screen.
Hoping my S6 isn't affected like the S2 was

Screen has Yellow Tint

I bought 16gb Version in India and i found my screen to have a yellow Tint, is it natural or should i ask for replacement? Everything else is fine. Please reply quickly. Thanks.
I took a screen shot of the clock app and sent it to my old HTC desire x and the blue was perfect blue while my moto it was light and purple in colour.
And can anybody else please check their clock app and tell me if its a dark blue or purple as in my case. Will help me a lot, thanks .

Looks purple to me... See screenshot.
But I don't see a yellow tint...
Edit: Actually the screenshot looks blue to me but my clock app is definitely purple when I look directly at the phone.

The same problem here too, screen shot on laptop seems blue , but its purple when i see it on my phone.
And also i just figured that the clock app shades change depending on time, so i changed my time to your screen shot time and i compared, its blue on the laptop but purple directly.
so this is general occurrence i assume.
:crying:
i returned mine, but same issue screenshots differ in color also selfies sometime are yelowish.
what ashame for motorola release a phone with so many issues!!!
I dunno if I should replace or not now, everything else is fine. anyone else has the same problem or I can get a proper screen ?

Well, if you're finding any issues with the display you can ask for replacement. They will replace it without any questions.
Talking about the yellow tinge, I am having no such issues on my Moto G. The clock however, changes its color according to the time. Are you seeing the yellow tinge throughout your usage? If yes then get a replacement.

I did some research and I found out that in many reviews moto g has a warmer yellow color overall, and maybe I was just paranoid . the whites do seem a little yellow. I just wanted to know if others have the same issue too. thanks for your reply.

Well in that case, here is my video review. Have a look. youtu.be/b7YPJJHafJY
I have come to peace with it now it definitely is warmer in colour reproduction, but I don't want to risk getting another defective handset over this, the mobile has been great so far, with insane battery i must say. screen on time reached 5.3 hours with average to above average usage. And about 4 hours with heavy usage. Definitely a keeper. thanks for the replies mates.
can close the thread now admins. Or is there an option for me to close it myself?
Just compared my wife's Moto E to my Moto G. Both US. Ran screen test app. The G definitely has a Yellowish cast in the whites and greys. And the colors are different on the same wallpapers.
yes it definitely does have a yellow warmer tone in my phone too.

The yellowish tint is because of adaptive display. In nexus 6 you will find a pinkish tint on the screen. Some phones of motorola have this issues.

Yellowish tint on the bottom of the screen?

Hello guys,
I am seeing a yellowish tint on the bottom left on my screen, but only on some grey background. I'm still on the 15 days returning window so I am thinking of sending my phone back.
Anyone with the same issue? Should I ask for a refund and purchase back a new phone or ask for an exchange?
Thanks.

Like any oled screen. It's a lottery what the colour shift, evenness. If you notice it you should exchange it. It will annoy you to no end
Yea it happens, u could exchange it but whos to say itll be worse or better? Maybe the device will have another defect thats major. Who knows of its really annoying u go for the exchange and pray.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A6003 using Tapatalk
My color shifts a little when grey (I guess like yours) but I feel like it will look like this no matter how many times I exchange it. Still looks good IMO. Just suck a large screen so different angles may shift.
Cause the screen is so tall your always looking at parts of the screen at different angles
