[Acer Iconia A500] Vintage144:
i dont know I get great colors and saturation , now I would say the camera isnt all that good but I dont really use the camera so it doesnt matter to me
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Must not be very well known.:rolleyes:
[Acer Iconia A500] daedlus:
Mine looks great too :)
[Acer Iconia A500] BrianDigital:
Like mine too
[Acer Iconia A500] panda.bear:
I am basing this off my personal observations as well as many others who have noted the same issue online.

Displaymate reviewed the screens of all android tablets a while ago and confirmed user observations that the A500 demonstrates poor color saturation. You can read the article here (http://www.displaymate.com/Acer_Iconia_ShootOut.htm).

You can also find many others who note the same issue with this model if you search Google. It should be apparent if you compare your tablet to other displays unless they are of an equal caliber.

I doubt it is the actual LCD hardware which is causing the problem, which is why I asked if there was a software solution where you can adjust display settings like saturation, contrast, etc.
[Acer Iconia A500] sRDennyCrane:
The A500 does not have the greatest screen. No, I am not going to hold my breath and cry about ICS not here yet, no, I won't start a faceyspace petition, no, I'm not going to claim I'm putting my A500 on Craigslist.

I love my A500 and plan to keep it a long time.

But the screen is not that great. It does not have the best contrast (blacks being really black and not gray), it could be brighter, the colors a little more saturated.

But it's a tradeoff. No Android tablet is the best at everything, and I chose the A500 because it did have a lot of features I wanted compared to the others. The cameras, the 2 different sized USB ports, the construction, yada yada yada.

You MIGHT find some software tweak that could possibly adjust the screen a little, but you're really up against a hardware limitation. Compare your screen to a mirrored hdmi signal to a good TV. It's the screen. It's not great.
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
The only issue i have with the display on my a500 . When we are in bed Reading .. my better half complains that my screen is to bright. She tells me to roll over so its not blaring in her eyes or turn it down. IT Needs to go lower brightness.

everyone who i have seen my tablet say its looks amazing. I to will be using my a500 for quite some time.I See no need to jump onto a new device 450.00 and 1 year old. i want a 17.3 I7 Laptop next .Would get check book taken away if i try buying both. :mad::mad:

[Acer Iconia A500] chasmanian:
Actually, the depth of its black is where our screen excels. http://m.gizmodo.com/5824807/the-best-tablet-displays-ipad-2-just-got-dethroned
[Acer Iconia A500] sRDennyCrane:
After spending time with a super AMOLED plus screen, I can't say the Acer screen is anything more than adequate in any catagory. And compared to other Android tablets, Samsung is at the top... in fact, they're at the top everywhere. Even the new iPad, since Sammy makes that screen, too.

If you understand Russian, read here - it's a detailed comparative review of tablet displays.
[Acer Iconia A500] BrianDigital:
so I guess the OP walked into a store with a fist full of cash and blindly bought a tablet.....the slightest amount of research would have found this tablets screen is no show stopper
[Acer Iconia A500] panda.bear:
I purchased this tablet about a year ago before the Transformer came out and the only other HC option at the time was the Xoom, which was a hundred dollars more expensive than the A500.

I did notice at the time that the color saturation on the A500 was slightly poorer than the Xoom when I purchased my tab in the store but that that difference didn't seem to overcome the price gap at the time. It is a minor issue I have with my tablet and no, I do not plan to see my tablet which I have owned for a year just because of it - I simply wanted to know if there was a way to adjust it which is why I created this post.

I don't understand why everyone here wants to attack and question me with rude or snarky comments which are OT. I am not attacking anyone or anything I am simply making an observation and asking if there is any way around it.
[Acer Iconia A500] BrianDigital:
sorry just read a topic in here that got me moody, I have really only seen color modification on led screens i could be wrong, but i think what you see is what you get

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CZ Eddie:
What's a good sub-$100 Android phone on the used market (not new) with huge screen? Just needs 2.2 or 2.3 Android. Doesn't need to be fast.

I need something for my Mom who has trouble seeing/typing. Planning to use it with this theme for elderly people:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kr3w1337:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Captiv8d:
What about that Captivate?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Nakel:
Big screen isn't enough. Some phones have big screens and teeny tiny fonts. (Like the HTC Vivid.) The Skyrocket has nice big fonts, but not cheap. I don't have any suggestions; just warning you that a big screen by itself doesn't mean big fonts.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CZ Eddie:
I like it!

Will see if it's something that goes under $100 on ebay.

The font isn't an issue using the theme/app I linked above. Thanks for the warning though!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jedah:
How big of a screen you looking for? I think you can find the non LTE ATT Galaxy S2 for under $100, as well as the Infuse 4G.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jamng:
Not sure if you need it new but I just picked up a refurbed Skyrocket from AT&T for $20. Just got it today and I'm playing with it now. Looks new or close enough to new for me. I didn't want to pour a lot of money in either.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] haggardh:
You can change the font on the vivid by pinching.

[HTC Rezound] johnwaynegacy:
I would like to opt out of the alleged ota. I renamed my otacerts.zip file, is that enough. I have read all sorts of things, from what I have done, to changing the build fingerprint in the build.prop. Is what I have done enough. I am obviously using the stock rom.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
probably delete the OTA apk files in /system/app
[HTC Rezound] johnwaynegacy:
all I saw was htcCOTAclient.apk and .odex and I renamed them, thanks. Hopefully I don't get annoyed by the update notification.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
I deleted those from my /system/app directory. The previous OTA did not ever come through my phone, so I think you'll be OK.
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
On the Kindle Fire, the easiest way to prevent the OTA which is a forced update (you don't get a choice), was to remove the /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip file. Physically moving it elsewhere (like to the sdcard) worked.

I note that the Rezound has the same files.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
Good call!
[HTC Rezound] michaelbsheldon:
instructions, pls?

Can someone who knows ADB give short recipe/commands

to reach that OTA file we want gone, Please.
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
i just did this on rezrom, thanks!

why is this file included with a custom rom?
[HTC Rezound] johnwaynegacy:
If for what ever reason you cant use root explorer and do have busybox (i think you need it) installed

It has been a really long time since I have used adb for anything, but this should work unless it denies you because system is mounted as read only.

adb shell

su

rm /filepath/file.apk
[HTC Rezound] FabianaS:
I am also looking to block this "alleged update" BUT am completely stock right now.. have been holding off on doing anything so far.. How would I do this?
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
If you are stock unrooted, the best you can do is to say no if it asks. If for some reason it is a forced OTA, I don't think you can without staying in airplane mode.

Via Rezound using XDA Premium
[HTC Rezound] FabianaS:
Thanks, that is what I was wondering, if it asks or if it's forced? I don't remember how my past updates have been and for some reason I feel like they were forced!?!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Darius:
Noticed a lot of new software being released for the note as part of the Galaxy note challenge... galaxynotespenchallenge.com

My favourite so far is Papyrus, the notes are vectors, so you can copy and paste or move them. Still in beta, I'm thinking this has a lot of potential.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.steadfastinnovation.android.projectpapyrus

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXiwA6zAUi0
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Rootwind:
Weird, can't install as Google says my device is not supported.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] mug2k:
Thanks, I think this is much better than S-memo.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] richlum:
Thanks.

That is cool how you can use your finger to delete.

I like the organisation of the notes too, with multiple pages per note.

Although I haven't used it, I think Freenote has a better system for actually entering in and editing your handwriting. Whilst you're writing word, it lets you undo each stroke, similar to Papyrus, but once you finish a word, each word is saved as on object in the note and then you can select individual words and edit them. I think this would make going back and correcting spelling mistakes, poor penmanship etc. a lot easier. Plus I like the way you can highlight text in Freenote.

I think if Papyrus can get some good functions for S Pen button, that would be cool too.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] leppo:
Awesome... Got it installed now. It's pretty smooth, and I'm glad to see that the sheet size is essentially unlimited.

Anybody have any idea where the note files are stored? I can find the PDF file if I've tried to export the note, but can't find any sign of it before attempting to export.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] rebista:
I am on Criselkos ICS ROm and my pen is not recognized by Papyrus. Anyone else having this issue?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] bunch88:
great app

Thanks, this is a great app !

I particularly like the fact that everything you write becomes a vector. I understand this is only a beta but here are a few suggestions that could possibly be implemented in a final version :

- if writing (or drawing) becomes a vector image, why not add tools that allow you to change size / orientation ?

- i noticed you can not (unless i missed something) copy/cut a part of a note to paste it on the next (or any other) page. This is quite frustrating if you've started taking a note and finally decided you'd rather have it on the next page.

I personally set my page size setting to A4 as a standard. That way when i export my files (via dropbox or directly send them through email) they appear in a "normal" size for computer users (including me for filing or archives...).

The feel of the writing is very smooth, sensitive and overall enjoyable. Keep up the good work !

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] andreww88:
I'm not able to download this app from the Play Store. I'm on Stunner. I think it's because Neobuddy uses Nexus framework right now and it isn't compatible with it supposedly.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] rock_80:
Definitely still to slow but has some potential, I'm still very partial to lecture notes (ICS only), the pace that that guy update the app with tweaks is crazy, if anything he has too many settings, but the advantage is you can tailor the note taking to your style.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] ivku:
Great app, better than anything else. Correctly detect SPen and finger with dual action. Great pressure detection. Great pdf export.

Some ideas:

1. third action for SPen button ? Lasso select ?

2. better palm detection or disable/lock "back" button, occasionaly press back button on note - workaround landscape mode

3. direct snap picture w/ comments and notes

4. SMemo replacement for quick notes - bind to double tap with pressed button on SPen - is it possible ?

5. better bar selection control ( in landscape there is bug with alignment)

6. lock horizontal width, only vertical move (indefinite scroll)

Right application for NOTE. If there will be galaxy note 10.1, that

will be definitely the best note taking app and killer feature !

Fantastic! Only suggestion I have would be to add a zoom function... not sure how viable that would be, but would be great to be able to zoom out to page level, or zoom in to draw finer details.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] richlum:
Yes, zoom would make this a lot more useable. At the moment you can fit very few words on the screen unless you write very small. Even better would be to scale your writing to about a quarter of the size you write on the screen.

I just met the app tonight and tried it on offical ICS but no go ! :) It doesn't even show off on google play store as Note is not assigned as compatible device with german ics rom. I downloaded the version in this thread and app opens but no spen nor hand recognation works. Tutorial keeps very promising tho. So i wanna use this app if anyone can provide alternative link of the latest updated version which supports spen on offical LPY ics build
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] p107r0:
Official page: http://projectpapyrus.com/

You can also try to contact the developer from within the app, there's Support button is settings, I wrote about the issue, no answer yet
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] captainhakan:
No download link on papyrus website either. They only have a link to corresponding google play store page. I hope developer fixes the spen issue soon and google play store starts showing the app as compatible for our Notes.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Knifa:
I'm so confused! I thought the S Pen wouldn't work correctly on CM9 because of driver issues/lack of support, but both the pen and the button on the pen works perfectly in Papyrus.

Only thing it seems to be lacking is palm rejection.
