New AMOLED Screens and White Backgrounds - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. I was just wondering if the new amoled screens on our s6 really benefit from a black background still. I know that this was a potential power saving thing for old amoled screens but is it still true for the ones we have now? Also, has there been any proper measurement of how much battery saving or screen on time is saved when using a black background? If it's not significant then I wouldn't bother. I read anandtech's review and the white background seems to not take a toll on browsing.

i'm sure black backgrounds use less energy, it's the very nature of OLED displays
but i'm not about to go out of my way to change everything to black/dark

On general i use backgrounds that I like and I change them on the go as I feel ... Haven't give it much thinking which one will need more power or not ... I can only say that I was reading the other day an article that Samsung's amoled panels have been evolving a lot and that no matter the bump in resolution s6 has the least power hungry screen from all flegships in S line up ...

I agree with what you said. Just a while ago I was changing most of my apps to black themed then I realized it was ugly. I'm so tired of seeing black.

They both fit. I posted a 5000mah, you posted a 3500mah.
This is all in theory. They don't come from a known manufacturer.
SGS i9000 originally came with 1500mah while SGH-T959V came with 1650mah. They have the same connections, box and size. I have mixed them many times.
Just buy a power skin for 1 cent
If I helped out, hit the thanks button.
I wanted to, but I don't live in the US and they wanted 30$ for shipping...
Plus it's huge, and this one will give you more power. 5000>3150 (1650+1500)

I'm pretty sure it is not 3.5 times better than OEM battery, but, it's still huge and should have at least twice the life.
By the way, don't expect too much of the cover skin either. It's enormous (check YouTube) and it's 1500 mah might just be half of it.

\ battery fit for the Samsung Galaxy S i9000 only. NOT fit for the Samsung SGH-T989. Please notice this.
Also, so much Comic Sans text, spelling, and grammatical errors, I could not trust this seller.
And... our phone is the T959V, not the T989. SGS4G, not SGS2.

I guess people like exaggerated colors
I think each camera shines in its own way, and to be honest either of these cameras is good enough for me. It's the convenience of smartphone cameras that make them great, if I want a stunning photo ill use a dedicated camera meant for that purpose.

huh are u kidding :cyclops:
its not the final firmware and its still better than all of them outdoors ( IP5 overexpose the images ) , GS4 seems only have little problem with focus indoors ( or maybe he took unfocused image )
edit : the video rec seems suck , its dropping frames like ***** + the stabilization seems useless ( i hope this will change in final software )

I smell something fishy. I would hate to be the guy that has to explain to my bank how someone "hacked" my bank account to purchase purple dildos off Amazon all because I wanted a custom skinned keyboard.
Sorry.

no seriously. Look at the two custom ones I posted in the themes and apps Samsung forum.
I know you don't know me and I'm new here but it's what I do. .. break down and rebuild stuff for my n3. You don't have to donate lol. I do this for fun. Obviously if someone requests like 7 diff keyboards then I might not get around to it but. I have no problem helping someone out that wants something custom though just bc I know before I knew how to I spent hours looking for the custom stuff I wanted. Just trying to help some ppl out saving time. lmk if you want one I'll prove it to you I'm not a scamm ahrgg!!! =)

My apologies, pal. I do see a lot of obvious duplicate accounts in request threads, so it was an honest mistake. Sorry.
Anyway, considering it's been a few days without any updates or requests filled, I'm thinking this probably isn't gonna go anywhere...Oh well.

Yes, but not always, in some light conditions
Maybe it's your face
