Thanks

+1 only thing I can think of is the different pen tips (nibs )

http://smartphones.wonderhowto.com/...ensitivity-for-better-touch-response-0140084/
If you view that link, it shows you how to change the sensitivity of the spen by turning the LEFT knob under the spen button. OP would like to know what turning the right knob will do.
I personally have wondered and looked, but never found the answer.
If you know the answer and you post it, I am offering a hug to you.

You are talking about the potentiometers under the button. The left one is for sensitivity and the right one is for the offset i.e. the depth from the pen to the screen.

[Q] Uneven colors from top to bottom

I just started using the Expanded Desktop MOD (No Navbar) and noticed that the bottom 8-10mm of the screen has a yellowish tint which isn't really visible on dark backgrounds like the Navbar.
It's clearly visible in apps that use the light theme such as Chrome, Hangouts.
The easiest way to check would be to open the Google keyboard in reverse landscape mode (volume buttons facing upwards) and compare the color from edge to edge.
Fortunately, my N5 doesn't have the overall yellow tint issue which my friend's N5 does and a lot of users have mentioned here.
My question is, is there anyone who has a perfect device? No overall yellowish screen and no uneven colors issue that I have.
I don't want to go through a bunch of RMAs and never get a perfect screen.
Please check your phone's keyboard in reverse landscape mode and post if you see this issue or if the colors are uniform.
Thanks.

My screen has a very slight yellow tint too at the bottom 10mm (the rest is fine, no yellow tint), but it is minor.

It's bad quality control if that's the case. I've had it for almost a month so don't think it's going to get better.
Anyone else has this issue?

I've got an N5 32GB that doesn't have the yellowish tint to the screen. Out of the few people I know that have N5's, none of them have that problem. I am wondering if the slight shadow effect is what is being referred to int his thread. Both the top and bottom have a slight shadowing effect on the edges of the screen with the Google Experience launcher. I haven't checked to see if you can turn this off but you can in Nova Launcher. When I get in from work, I'm going to round up some backgrounds to check. If anyone has any they think illustrate the issue best, please post them and I'll check back and try them with my device. For now, I recommend trying the Nova Launcher and turning off the shadowing to get a clear idea of what is going on with the edges of the screen.
Edit: Using Google Search and Hangouts, I don't see any yellowish anything on the edges of my screen regardless of the orientation. I also asked a co-worker to have a look as well and he didn't see any variation in the screen color on the edges, yellow or any other. The launchers I tried was Nova Launcher beta3 and the Google Experience launcher. Both yielded the same results.
Edit 2: It should be noted that I am not using the Expanded Desktop Mod and my ROM is stock with root and CWM for recovery.

Yes, i have this issue too. It is my second N5 (first one was a RMA) and i noticed it at the weekend when i flashed Purity ROM and checked a blank website using Chrome with Immersion/Expanded desktop mode enabled. Hmm. Besides that, my second Nexus 5 is near than perfect and basing on my research it is possible, that is glue that has to harden out - so it could disappear some day....? I don´t want to RMA it a third time.
I have also noticed, that the spot is getting stronger when the Nexus is on heat, e.g. with benchmarking or gaming. Weird. But that could be subjective.
I think i will have a look how it goes and than i will decide how to proceed.

it could take about 2 to 3 months

Are you all still with first batch phones? I had a 16GB (black) 310k that I sold once my 311k 32GB (black) arrived. I didn't have any issues with the 310k either but it seems a lot more people have had various issues with the 310k over anything later.

Do you mean, it is worth the wait or should we order a replacement device?

thats up to u..my n5 was really yellowish..it has been improving after using it more often

Thank you for your help. I think, I will have a look at and see how it goes.
Was your whole screen yellowish, or like mine I a small area?
Gesendet von meinem Nexus 5 mit Tapatalk

I run Immersion Mode and yes the bottom where the keys were have a yellow tint

Same issue here, but mine has almost fixed itself with just using it today. Device has been used for less than a week. I'm hoping what little is still there corrects itself too. Was driving me nuts. It's all I noticed. I attribute it to the glue curing.

Yes, i am looking and searching for it every time i use the phone.. And yes, that is something that drives one nuts.
I will give it a go like i stated before, and when it is not getting better, i will ask Google for a replacement.

I have taken a photo, i hope you can see it..

Hi TR2N,
It has been a while since your post, but did your yellow tint on the top of your screen ever fade or did you eventually RMA or just live with it? I am dealing with the same issue and the tech at Google never heard about anything related to glue drying.
Thanks,
Jason

Dragging up a very old thread but I have this exact issue - the bottom 10mm of phone screen in yellowish. Looks bad in landscape
My device is about 6 weeks old. OP - did you RMA in the end?...

I did but the replacements had the same issue and were more yellow overall.
I've had my original phone this whole time. The yellow tint eventually goes away as you keep using it and the glue dries up.

Half notch option please!

Why the only two options are full tall notch or no notch at all?
They could add an option to have a notch only for the height of the notification icons instead of awkwardly tall?
I'm sure that would be better than the current two choices.

In play, search for notch hide. There are a couple options that let you manually adjust the height. Notch remover is one of them. It has pretty good reviews too.
I was going to do this exactly before I got my phone. I felt I would like a smaller notch a lot better. After having the phone for seriously like an hour I stopped noticing it. I actually kind of like it now. Anyway, obviously your call. And yes you can do this.

The notch is tall enough that they could have 2 rows of notifications.

Exactly what I was thinking... Could Nacho Notch pull this off? Would be great to have a large digital clock on the right and all other notification icons on the left.

I was thinking this is a pretty obvious thing to go after in the roms. I have stopped noticing the notch right up until I notice all that wasted space around it which still gets my attention every time I run out of notification space. That happens far too often because really; who wouldn't run out of visible notifications with only the pitiful quantity given us? Then I cant help but tip into a mental facepalm seeing all the wasted space surrounding those few notifications. Now all of a sudden I'm noticing the stupidly oversized notch again which didn't have to happen but did because some idiot at Google decided that they were going to go all in and even supersize a hardware choice which almost everyone recognizes as temporary stop gap feature that will go away as soon as embedded tech gets advanced enough to replace it.

This is my first notch phone and I'm surprised at how quickly I've gotten used to it. And that was before the black theme I applied last night which hides it most of the time.
I was actually wishing the icons were a little larger though.
My bad eyes couldn't handle two rows of tiny icons.

I use Nacho Notch. In the settings, set the notification bar height to 130. To complement that, set up top corners rounded with height and width 14 dp. Don't round the bottom corners. You'll see why after a little while if you do.

[APP] Notch/Cut out battery bar

Testing is closed as I have enough data for this update. Thanks to everyone who tested
This is one of my little apps that add a battery bar around the notch of a phone. I have ported the feature to the S10 and S10+. Please try it out
The trial version link.
The pro version link

The graphic is off the right hand side of the screen. I can only see it when the width is increased all the way.
---------- Post added at 08:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:58 AM ----------
Switching resolution to 3040x1440 brought it out to where it should be. But the alignment is off. Is just a few pixels low. The top starts a few pixels below the cutout.
I'll find a phone to take a photo for you

How does it supposted to work on S10's? It creates the notch in place without the notch and afais I can't even make it flat, narrow bar/line because it's crashing the app.
Would be nice to have it around the camera holes

As mentioned in the OP, it's still not ready for the S10s.

Here's a screenshot of the options

But why

I would like to see some kind of option that allows for a charging LED as well.
A simple pulsing animation added to it while it is charging would help too.
If you could also add the ability to use the mod regardless of background (this could even be a premium feature), that would be awesome!
The "bubble" seems to fit well around the S10+, I can't tell if it needs adjusted just a tad more to the right or not though, I downloaded the app when some battery was already used so I will have to wait until I charge again to make sure that the 100% fits the notch well.

S10+ here i will be able to do testing for you

LOL, i left a review asking for S10+ compatibility on the 14th and you opened this thread the day after! Good work!
I'm trying it right now, it work, the only "serious bug" seems to be when you change the height, it increase only under the cut out, i think it should increase above and under it (Like when you change width, it change both sides).
Also, the bubble it's not really centered to the cut out, it look like a pixel or two under the exact position (i attach a really bad photo, i took it with the front camera of an iMac, sorry!)
+1 for custom wallpaper (also as a paid feature), i really love the wall-e and eve's one!

I'll test if you need a tester

Ok, now it's almost perfect, i think the last touch to reach the perfection would be the corners a little bit more rounded.
I attached a better quality picture.

Thank you so much, Will try to match the edges.

So I've been messing around with it a little and it's nice, but if I set the width or height to the lowest the app crashes.

When will the pro version include S10

Would you mind uploading a picture of your settings within the app. Your result looks perfect

Hi Dev, great job! One request is to make width/height movable with arrows too, just like with the positioning. The sliders are very sensitive and it takes quite a while to position the cutout perfectly.

Edit: the cutout looks good in the app, but when I apply the changes it gets cut off. Anyone knows why?

Anyway to move the left clock back to the right spot where it belongs???

I get having the left clock for notch applications and the hole punch but with the full screen (no notch or punch hole) I would really like my right clock back. Even on my S10+ I can move back to the right side! Is this possible on the OnePlus 7 Pro?
