Just got my Gear S2 Classic. Very nice, apart from one major issue. The screen is so dim in ambient mode its almost invisible outdoors. I don't think the brightness can be increased.
I'm going to get rid of the watch and keep my pebble steel. The gear has failed at its primary purpose - to tell the time.
I know i can wake it up by moving my wrist, but this rarely works in practice, and defeats the purpose of ambient mode anyway....
Try using different watch faces. Different watch faces have different ambient modes.
Other than the stock watch faces you can also install Mr.Watchmaker and Watchland.

Thanks, but as far as i can see they only change the content of the display, not its brightness. It's the brightness that is the issue which I presume is built into the operating system

Are you trying to read the watch with polarized sunglasses? If so, try turning the watch face a few degrees, it should allow more light through the "filter" in your sunglasses.

Is your brightness set to 10 in settings? This is how mine looks in ambient mode and I don't have issues with brightness.

Thanks, yeah, it's set to 10 but doesn't seem to affect ambient mode.
I can see it easily indoors in ambient mode, but outside in sunlight it's almost invisible.

This is what my phone says.
These are my brightness settings
Any way to fix/lower brightness? I already wiped battery stats.
If I helped you, push the thanks button for goodness sakes!
To lower brightness, click on the brightness button in your second screenshot, and if automatic brightness is clicked, unclick that, and then you can adjust your brightness.

ics shows it this way, even if the screen is down minimum.it will be in the top three if not the top.
Don't worry, you are good.

This is normal for android phones. All other phones has brightness dominating when you sue the phone. For some reason CM7 on G2x the display battery usage shows up very low.
Anybody else have the colors look a little washed out? I tried vivid and standard colors, but barely see a difference between the two. Maybe my S5 has just spoiled me.

The OPO does not use a Super AMOLED device so colors seem different, blacks are more grays. You can adjust it accordingly by using the custom presetting
Try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54321008&postcount=6
Adjust the settings around till you get it the way you want it.
The S5 is oversaturated, that's probably why this display seems washed out to you, it's a more natural colour balance.

I had the worst problem coming from a note 2 to a nexus 5. I put the nexus and the opo next to each other tonight and the displays look the same. Is just how a IPS display is.

Try these settings. Looks pretty close to my GS5.

When I have my brightness maxed out and the option to increase brightness in sunlight turned on I see this as well.
It's because most displays these days exceed the sRGB color space, and Android doesn't use color spaces, so colors are generally mapped to the full gamut of the phones' displays instead of trying to match sRGB. The OPO's color is actually VERY accurate compared to most phones out there (a major reason why I got it vs the Sony Z3). Just needs to warm up the white balance a bit.

When you use an edge panel, the screen below is blurred.
Is there a way to have clear screen like in Note Edge?
I hate this aspect of S7 Edge.
Thanks.
This cannot be changed.
and is possible install the service (coctailbarservice and related) present in the note edge in S7 Edge?
Id you run an app with a screen filter like Lux auto brightness, the screen doesnt blur when you use the edge.
Probably root and xposed

I actually uninstalled Lux as I preferred the screen to blur when using the edge... If Lux is installed and not sleeping, the screen definitely doesn't blur out.

Good ..... It works.
Now it would be perfect if some developer could implement only a simple function for have a clear screen instead of blur when an edge panel is displayed.
Thanks.

Hi, I just bought it and I'm seeing that the screen contrast is too high, at least for me it looks hard. Do you know a way to change it? I searched in all the settings and I didn't find nothing, I could active sRGB mode but no solution.

I am not aware of any such setting in this mobile. The best you could do is fiddle with the brightness. May be you could search in the developer options settings.

I did it but I find nothing, only, like I said, the sRGB toggle. At least my uncle who is the owner didn't say nothing, so at the moment is fine hahaha.

Did you try the suggestion of using Pro mode and change the [AWB] level to manual and adjust the slider until you find the correct white balance?
its always hard to compensate warm yellow lights. You have to understand how photogrpahy and your eyes are working. And other thing is that the new sensor on P30/P30 pro uses an RYYB filter instead of RGGB. SO even harder to conpensate the colour temperature.
thzere are tons of articles about colour temperature, compensationa, RYYB filter array on camera chip etc.

yes but there seems to be no help with such lighting ... it's stupid how much the phone costs without having this kind of problem ... the first time i encountered this problem ... i used samsung before and it wasn't like this so now this is new ... except for this problem and the worse sound of a really great phone ..
