Samsung display - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Would like to ask why Samsung display is a little worst in resolution in gaming apps.

I mean the display when you are on home screen. The resolution is clear. But when in apps. The color isn't that good and resolution is bad.

I think the display is pretty good

Well you have to acknowledge that the display has a pentile matrix which means that it has two sub pixels instead of 3. That equates to roughly 1045x588 effective resolution for thé screen.
It could also be the fault of the game itself.

Ahh. Thanks for the reply. But the color is slightly different from the iPad hd display. Anyone feels it.

In display settings try turning off auto adjust screen tone. Check if power saving is off. Also try different screen color profiles in display settings. Default is standard, may be a more vivid color option will suit you

A lot of apps are badly ported from iDevices, and unfortunately, graphics seems to be the part that suffers most from this. native Android-apps, as far as I can see, has the sharp look I expect from this display, and compared to an iRetina display, has an almost equal quality.
The screen mode is particularly important, and should be changed if you find the colors on your display to vivid or unrealistic.
I myself tried changing to a more toned down mode, but got a weird B&W-feeling (I've gotten used to the SG3 display), and had to change back.

[Q] Do you have burn-in on screen of your beloved SGSII

[Q] Do you have burn-in on screen of your beloved SGSII
Yes I do have a screen burn which looks like the power off symbol on my bottom half of screen. I have no clue where it comes from though... Never had something like that shown on my display.
It is only visible on brighter gray and if you look close so since I prefer colourful wallpaper I only see it sometimes when pulling down notification bar

I have it also a tiny spot 2mms across which is seen on gray and brighter colors, not that much, almost nothing on dark colors.

Yes, I have slight burn-in from the AOSP Clock (time and the buttons at the bottom).
I've got one above the misdemeanor towards right corner of the screen. Gonna replace screen, never seen on previous exchanges models.

Yes...I've burn in of opera mobile's reload and tabs icon at the bottom... Specially visible when the screen is of near white color! Sad to see it happening so soon
Is it warranty covered? Is there anything else we can do about it?

I love the Samsung browser, but why is it choppy zooming out?

I have always wondered this, is this to improve speed or a design flaw? You got a square and the rest of the screen goes white for a split second. And even if you use a third party browser it's the same. Is this an android thing?

Why Super AMOLED uses so much power when displaying white image?

Hi all.
Can somebody please explain me why Super AMOLED display uses so much power when displaying white image?
I can surf the web only 4 hours on max brightness.

Its not just the screen its the 3g/wifi the screen and everything but the screen is bit so it needs more power than a smaller screen. That's just one reason.

It's science! Literally.
White light is suppose to be the brightest light while black is its opposite. The way these phones work is that the black pixels, pure black, are just pixels turned off. Now apply the opposite logic with white.
But for the phones, I'm not sure exactly. But I think red is the least power consuming, I forget.

I believe it's the way standard screen and amoled screens work.
Amoled: imagine the individual pixel, it has its own colour and light. When displaying black as mentioned before all the pixels are literally switched off which is why blacks look so deep with amoled. For whatever colour only a few pixels are on. Which controls what colour you see. However for white all the pixels have to be on as you can imagine the amount of power spent for a white screen is much higher.
Standard LCD screens generally work where all the pixxels are white and they are behind tiny pixel filters each having Their own colour (RGB like amoled) they can easily lets say switch the filters off and remove them so that it only displays white. Black is more difficult to display I'm not sure why I could be wrong but I think it's because the light from the other pixels comes in causing blacks to be less deep this is the same with colours they look more washed out
Anyways
So amoled is like having loads of little light bulbs of different colour that are on at different intensities to create whatever colour. Standard LCD is like loads of white bulbs or a big white bulb and the colour is controlled by holding filters over it of different colour infront of it which needs less power.
That's my understand ing but please correct me if I'm wrong! I read about one years ago but cant remember properly
Hope it helps!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
because the AMOLED, unlike the normal LCD, uses three LED RBG. to have the color white needs to turn on the three LEDs and then spend more energy. In fact, the websites often have the white background.
try putting the color reversed so as to have the black background (you save energy because it does not need to turn the usual LED)
Can't you use Google? Or Bing? Or any search engine?

Screen settings what do you use

Autobrightness or full
Standard. Dynamic. Movie. Natural?
Which is the best.

Used to use natural till I noticed it didn't make battery much better. Normal all day now lol. Always auto brightness

Dynamic with auto brightness.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
Auto brightness is just too dark for me. Auto brightness OFF, slider at 75% and Natural. I used to use Dynamic, and I'm thrilled we we have the option, but every now and then with Dynamic on an images color will look just completely blown out and I ended up moving it back to Natural which is still plenty saturated with the Super AMOLED display.

Thanks for posting this. Never looked in the settings before, and dynamic looks so much better.

Dynamic and Auto-Brightness. There is no 'best' option. It's just personal preference. I like the saturated colors I get with Dynamic, and I dont watch movies on phones anymore so it doesnt bug me. I keep a brightness toggle on my drawer so if I show co-workers some video clips or something I can wow them with a super bright display
I just use natural and auto
Standard w/auto brightness. Love this freaking phablet!
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
You pretty much have to lower the setting if you want natural colors. But who wants natural colors on a Samsung device!? Oversaturation ftw.
Try lux auto brightness....

Yeah I hate the washed out natural color look. I am perfectly aware that the Standard screen mode is way too saturated to be accurate color representation but imho, I love it. Especially running Beans ROM with the nice AOSP blue notification icons. Looks gorgeous!
I'm going to have to start playing with these settings!
I just wanted to take a minute to thank the guys who mentioned Lux Auto-Brightness. I just purchased it and it really is quite spectacular. I didn't realize we could have this kind of control over our auto brightness. Thanks guys!
auto brightness all day everyday! I don't notice a change in battery life though to be honest

What do you mean, "keep a brightness toggle in my drawer" is there stock, isn't it?
I use auto on standard and when showing others video, tap off the auto in the notifications which switches to full brightness.
I've gotten used to the auto being slightly dinner than I prefer. Wish there was a setting to adjust that.

Camera Settings?

My camera really seems to be worse than the S3 so I am starting to think I don't have the settings tweaked. Should I be at the 13 Megapixel setting or 9? Also the pictures are good with flash but the ones without them are worse than my S3 in similar lighting by far!
13mp is a 4:3 aspect ratio, while 9mp is 16:9. I personally prefer 4:3 for photos so I use 13mp.

I agree. I have been disappointed in the camera when compared to my S3. The camera feels slower and I have more blurry pics than I did with my S3.

Yeah, the anti-shake setting does seem to help, but taking pictures in a dim environment (inside my house) without the flash is difficult. Also, for indoor pictures, I've noticed that the actual picture taken looks darker than what is seen on the screen at the time of taking the picture.

It doesn't take a really good picture low light. I usually have flash on auto. and also set my phone to dynamic.

So, your phone doesn't show a darker picture in the Gallery than what's actually on the screen when the shutter closes? And my screen is set to Standard...does that matter?

With it set on dynamic it makes it brighter on the phone overall. Of course the phone isn't going to be able to take really great low-light pictures but it makes your screen brighter with more vibrant colors.
