[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?

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!

[Request] Notification strip

I just bought myself a Galaxy S4 Mini and there's only one thing that I miss: notification light.
I knew that also before I bought it but I wonder if there's an app or if it's possible to develop an app which would do the following when the screen is turned off:
Upon receiving an SMS, email, whatsapp, etc. the screen lights up grey/black except for a small strip (here in green) which has different colours depending on the notification type.
The device would still be locked but the screen could light up for 30-60 seconds and look like something 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"
}
Is this feasible or will I have to live without notification light?

One app that comes to mind is Knock² notifications. It doesn't do exactly what you want, but it shows notifications with the rest of the screen remaining blank.
Knock² Free/Demo
Knock² Pro/Full

I've never used it but I knew my friend had used it on his old phone which also didn't have an LED

[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] Framer for Android Wear

Hello
I've created a new app, which lets you put several overlays on your wear device.
The main purpose is to round the edges on a square screen so it looks a bit nicer,
but you can put anything you want.
Also you can set a round overlay to test round layouts on a square screen if you want
(this is just anoverlay though, it wont recognize the device as an actual round one)

First!!
This looks sweet! I love a subtle rounding off on my LG G Watch! Thanks for this.

Drat it, I just made a round watch face with like batteries & weather in the corners. OK. I'll change my watch face. This is brilliant. (Do keep it up. It'll sell better as bezels shrink.)

I'm glad you like it

i was bored today and made a landing page..

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.
