[Q] Hue around text

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?

Photo of Screen:

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!

[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_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"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.

[App][Beta][4.0+] DeskShot - Capture your Desktop from your phone

Hi everyone,
Have you ever seen a screenshot of a Computer, but captured with a smartphone camera? Do you hate them as much as I do? Well now I got a simple but efficient solution for this problem.
Introducing DeskShot:
DeskShot allows you to create a Screenshot of your computer with your smartphone with the press of a button. All it needs is a small java program running on your computer and thats it. At the moment you can only capture your primary screen and only the whole screen but I'm going to add a way to capture only a portion of a screen.
The App is in a beta state right now. To install it either download it from the attachments section below or join the Google+ Community (plus.google.com/communities/109206966394527976430) and register as a tester to get automatic updates.
The backend requires Java 7 or higher to run and can be downloaded from the attachments. It defaults to port 2555 but I will add configuration options soon.
I would like to hear whether the app is working for you too and I would love to hear feature requests or improvements in the UX.

Question (GCAM) Malfunctional Zoom Slider - Old one (P7P)

Hi everyone,
Camera version : 8.7.165.479933554.19 - latest version as of right now.
The old not updated slider
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
somehow came back on the P7P, even though there is a totally different one made for the 7. I've viewed online and saw that this slider had shown a common showing theme for the devices(series).
also there are no .5x, 1x, 2x, 5x buttons.
The slider also doesn't work, if you touch it it'll reset the zoom level to 1x, and at portrait mode instead of resetting to 1x it resets to 0.7x(basically removing the zoom that portrait mode adds)
Resetting, Reinstalling, Safe-mode, Factory reset(just comes back after a day) did not help.
Anything to throw at this problem? And to also get back the 0.5x 1x 2x 5x buttons? they're really useful.
