So I'm using the factory camera and gallery, has anyone noticed how the display turns to crap when you view pictures? The color tone completely drops and makes the photos look dark and terrible. Is there a setting I may have turned on (or off)? Or is there something third party I should use perhaps?
Because when I view the photos on the PC using my nice HD display, its really not as bad as it looks on the phone.

I think it could be just the app itself and how it was written. But also adjusting the brightness can usually help. One reason I hate the pentile display. > <

I think it is being caused by 2 things.
1. Automatic brightness.
2. Settings -> Display -> Auto adjust screen power. (Although I thought this setting never worked, it sounds like the exact problem you're having)
I just use a brightness widget and a scroll of the top status bar to adjust my brightness all the time. The automatic brightness is pretty much unusable because I find it too dark most of the time.

The Skyrocket doesn't have a pentile display.
I wouldn't have purchased it if it did.

i've turned off the auto adjust, but i still have general auto brightness turned on. Still dims when in the gallery. i've noticed this on every skyrocket phone i've ran into, the pictures just look dark and dull when being viewed in the gallery.

Turn auto brightness off, this is the main reason I turned mine off. It will usually turn it to the lowest brightness in galleries and looks like ****. Auto brightness is garbage from the factory. There's suppose to be a better mod that checks nearly 100 times a sec and uses less power but I been too lazy to ask my friend for the name of it lol.

There's a post in q& a somewhere that explains the iso settings in different lighting environments. I usually just keep mine set to 200 and makes it alot better. Still darkens a little bit but not near as bad as it did before. I also noticed a difference turning the flash off.

The topic more or less was on the gallery view, not the actual camera quality. It takes pretty decent photos compared to what else is available.

So after updating to MM i noticed that
1. I can't turn off the camera sound
2. When mobile data is activated I can't see the small H or E etc anymore.
Whats up with that?
Maybe just the cleaner design of the new os ?
Maybe they turned on the camera sound default because in some countries it is actually illegal to have the camera shutter sound off !

yea. so much presumption from a supposedly witty and intelligent person.
the inclusion of the three new features were oblivious to me, so i thought maybe sharing would help others get started.

I just wish sammy would make edge lighting useful for notifications when the screen is off, and not just for their crap bundled apps either.

What does that have to do with edge lighting...
Anyway,
Edge Lighting > Manage Notification
Select apps you want edge lighting on, it is not restricted to "crappy built in apps"
A more useful thing to say would be, ' I wish edge lighting could be customised on a per app basis and show be useful for more situations such as if screen recording flash around edge of the device red or something to show you that you are recording with your device or camera or whatever, or they could use the notch LED ring to do something like this.

Here you go
Tried Goodlock + Notistar to enable "Eclipse effect" for camera cut out. It broke deep sleep and my phone went from 50% to 0% in 3 hours with screen off. The effect only works for a few seconds with no option to set a recurring reminder. Uninstalled it, but other features in this Goodlock update are great.

Using Holey Light instead with the battery saving blink animation is a better option, noticed less than 1% per hour drain

Rest of the apps are great with good lock!
Wow check out the no screenshots, i got you guys looking

You can activate it, but it doesn't do **** if the screen is off. Worthless as a notification.

ya i heard it won't work without aod
Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
Even with aod always on, edge light set to always, edgelight+, notifications enabled. If I get a message on hangouts for example, the little icon appears on the aod screen but edge lighting does diddly. Same for the other non Samsung apps I've tried, not that there have been many I've tried thus far.
Now if I happen to have the phone unlocked and happen to be looking at hangouts and receive a message, edge lighting works as expected... but if I'm already staring at the app it kinda makes it pointless.
Does anyone have any issues with the color being darker on the middle of the screen horizontally, when night mode is turned on and with low brightness? I had issues with 9.5.3 and now on 9.5.7. 9.5.4 did not have the same issue.

I don't ever use night mode myself, but perhaps this is worth a shot... Check out the "OnePlus Laboratory" settings menu and turn on the experimental DC dimming (or perhaps it's on already and you need to turn it off?). This is totally a shot in the dark though.

I'm not sure if it's my eyes or my phone isn't refreshing properly but I can't see a difference when scrolling regardless which setting I choose under motion smoothness.
Is there a way to tell what the refresh rate is when adaptive mode is selected?

I agree.
People see different things and can also soon adapt to the smoothness.
I can certainly see the difference when I use my N10+ 5G to when I'm using the N20 Ultra 5G.

Thanks I don't know why I didn't think to look for an app.
I wasn't sure about that one since it only had a few hundred downloads but I downloaded this and the refresh rate is correct.

This app doesn't have an overlay feature. The app suggested by @dougmcsp will show the refresh rate as an overlay on any app/screen on the phone.
