[Galaxy S III General] androidified:
I had the original SGS for a year, I never had any problems with its display until the last few months which is when I started using the Custom ROMs. By display problem I mean general color tweaking in those ROMs. All the ICS ROMs had slightly undersaturated colors and grayer BLACKS. Not many people seemed to bother about that but I was so much freaked out to lose its awesomeness. So I found some Kernels which supports "VOODOO COLOR" then I installed the Voodoo App and did some customization of my own. To my surprise it fixed all my problems. I got the display back to its Pure Black state and also I made the tweaks to the Gama values and Hue settings to make the colors look more vivid than S2 and I almost achieved pure and brighter white. This made people with S2 droll over my S1's display. So I'm gonna try the same with my S3 and I'm pretty sure this "Voodoo Color" supported Kernels will get everything fixed, though I'm not sure about the Black Ink spots which I never had in my S1. Wish the Developers will bring out the Voodoo Color Kernels out soon for the Galaxy S3.

P.S: If anyone wants I will post the screenshots of the Voodoo Settings which I used to make my S1 look better.
[Galaxy S III General] gaspernemec:
Problem 1-i dont have it

Problem 2-i jave some ink spots (small) about which i dont care, since i never stare into totally black screen, and when there is something colorful with black background displayed brighter stuff attracts eyes so much i dont notice ink mark

Problem 3-checked on videos, doesnt have it (or at least isnt notable much)

Problem 4-doesnt have it eighter

Problem 5-Compared it to my s1 and honestly there isnt big difference, you cannot notice it in bright places, it gets visible in darker places, but only if i stare in black stuff (so basically i resolve it similar way as problem 2)
[Galaxy S III General] aydc:
SGS3 is definitely less black than SGS2. It's very apparent if you use a program like Night Mode or Screen Filter to decrease the brightness even further. On SGS2, it's completely black. On SGS3, it's gray/blue. Disappointing.
[Galaxy S III General] Tinderbox (UK):
My Galaxy Note is totally black, no grey, I use the "Display Tester" app, select a black screen slide your finger up the screen so the brightness shows 100% then go in to a dark room and you cannot see where the screen and the bezel join.

[Galaxy S III General] w1nter456:
You holding it wrong.
[Galaxy S III General] aydc:
Yeah, but this thread is not about Galaxy Note, rather S3.
[Galaxy S III General] Tinderbox (UK):
Yeah, but the S3 was being Compared to the S2 , when the S2 and S3 have different types of screen one is rgb and the other is pentile, while the note and the S3 both have pentile screens so i though that comparison might be more relevant.

I'm glad finally there are many people with this issue noticed... I thought I had a bad piece....

So the guys who say supercurios stuff will work, I just hope that comes true... Any kernel devs have acknowledged this issue?? They may have some knowledge to reduce the voltage to the screen or something??

Btw.. I had voodoo color on my s1 too, but u need really good values set, or else I remember the voodoo color kernels caused black crush..
[Galaxy S III General] zyryn:
I just compared with my friends s1 yesterday in a dark room, the intro of Dexter when it says 'SHOWTIME presents' in white against a black background , and God, u can embarrassingly CLEARLY see the grayness on the s3 screen!
[Galaxy S III General] Dean-xXx:
Hi, sorry to bring back up this thread after so long time but , i did notice same things ... black is not black enough.

And to make it more.. interesting, i have 2x pebble blue sgs3.

The thing i noticed on them cause i have time to play with both and compare all the time, is that one of them the front of the phone ( case ) is more light blue/gray and this one has this problem with grayish black, and the other one the front of the phone ( case ) is very dark blue/purple, and the screen is true black exactly like on original sgs.

Now, the one with more grayish black running on 4.0.4 stock BTU ROM, and the other one the true black is running on o2 branded ROM.

Anyone knows about those things ? did anyone else notice that not all pebble blue are not the same blue on all phones?
[Galaxy S III General] Dean-xXx:
anyone?
[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
Er, yeah. That's why Samsung had production problems with the blue units initially at launch. They may still have problems.

But it makes your Pebble Blue phone unique, huh? ;)
[Galaxy S III General] Dean-xXx:
Hahaha :D, just few hours ago i've discovered something new.

The pebble blue , the more darker one has maybe a black crush or something i don't know... i open by mistake browser on both and comes google page by default and for the first time i've seen that the one with more blue/purple front (case) the white on display is not so white compared to my other one which is not so blue :D its like looking at and old 5+years old LCD monitor when you have next to it a brand new LED one. Its huge difference in white.

Ok so which pebble blue is newer? The more darker blue/purple front cover or the more gray than blue front cover?
[Galaxy S III General] blade30p:
My S3 is 3 month's old & the black is deep deep black. There a're 3 diff color settings under display tho too. The only thing I noticed is now if I use a black wallpap on my lockscreen then it looks like it's under water as you can see like blurry bits, it's hard to describe as I can't take a screenshot of it?

Mine is the newer front model 16gb pebble blue unit.

Sent from my GT-I9300 using Xparent ICS Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S III General] Dean-xXx:
I know that are 4 actually different screen modes ( dynamic, standard, natural and movie). This doesn't have nothing to do with, one of my pebble blue white is yellowish and not only a side , entire screen..but is fine this one i'll just give it to my little bro.

As for the lockscreen, yes it is a ,,bug'' or something... when you first use the phone with the dandelion the lockscreen picture is perfect quality.. if you put a different one and after you set again the dandelion , you will notice that image quality is ****ty/blurry. It seems its something to do with the crop setting while setting a image for lockscreen since by default is perfectly fine. I hope will be a fix for this , cause its annoying.

So i still don't get , samsung changed the front cover too when they delayed the pebble blue? Cause mine are one very dark blue/purple front cover and one is light blue/gray front cover. So which one is the newer model?
[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
I don't know which model is the newer one. :p

My blacks aren't as black as my old S1. It's like an LCD instead of an LED. Sadness! :(
[Galaxy S III General] Dean-xXx:
Everyone has this problem actually , this is how the HD SAMOLED is .. for me actually is fine , doesn't bother this at all.

I just want a fix for the lockscreen issue and to know which one is actually the newer version, if samsung really changed the front cover too.
[Galaxy S III General] Dean-xXx:
Bump :p
[Galaxy S III General] erto90:
Just disable ripple effect and the blurry black become black.. in lock screen I mean
[Galaxy S III General] tian105:
how i solved the problem: bought a note 2..
[Galaxy S III General] Dean-xXx:
The lockscreen image quality is just a software issue so its no point switching to note 2.

I have 2 sgs3 and i'm happy with them. Personally note 2 is a bit too big for me. Price here is same for sgs3 and note 2 (20-30 euro) difference. ;)
[Galaxy S III General] KMino:
Checked the serial numbers? ;)
[Galaxy S III General] Dean-xXx:
It doesn't have nothing to do with, is any picture like that, tried on 2 different phones running 2 different versions of ICS. When is by default the dandelion lockscreen is perfectly , if you change to different and after back to dandelion lockscreen you will see above the dandelion some squares/blocks .. its because of the cropping when you select. I like the ripple effect so no way to disable it. If i wouldn't know that by default is perfect , wouldn't bother me :D but i know that can be perfect... so i'm looking for a way to solve it.

What serial numbers? For what?
[Galaxy S III General] zyryn:
Yay...Samsung got true deep perfect blacks back on the s4 !!!

Mods...u can close this thread..
[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
Mods can close the S3 thread because the issue isn't on the S4?

Is it just me or does that not make sense...?
[Galaxy S III General] qtwrk:
as from my experience with Galaxy Nexus which happens to have Super Amoled screen as well as Galaxy S III .

I'd say it may depends on how you recalibrate the display setting.

you see , back in Nexus S GT-i9020 and Galaxy Nexus GT-i9250 , there is some custom kernel which allows for color calibration as now the Perseus kernel has such feature.

to be honest , in theory the AMOLED screen should completely black when it displays dark , but actually it is VERY VERY VERY HARD to calibrate such display.

when i had my Galaxy Nexus , i acutally tried hours and hours to make this happen but it just keeps display very very slight background light .

but curious is , when i was in bed and playing my GN , when i open something application while it is loading the screen just display COMPLETELY black , just can't make it happen intentionally ....
[Galaxy S III General] zyryn:
Well ....u see...the OP of this thread was posted by me...

I got all the answers I need....and it anyways was stagnant for many months...

So to me, it made perfect sense to get rid of this thread... I mean...the mods always usually hate unused clutter lying around on xda ....

Well...now since there still seem to be people who respond to this thread...I take my words back :p. .

Peace :)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] owennewo:
The picture is a bit blurred - so can't really tell much from this. But I would guess it is not bricked. Bricked means unrecoverable - you appear to be in the bootloader - which probably means it can be recovered.

How much do you know about bootloaders and flashing ROMS?

I would be interested if you can get into recovery from bootloader. Press vol down to change item to bootloader then hit power button to select. This takes you to another page, one of the items in that is recovery.

Your good friend may have done a nandroid backup which you can restore or you could put a new ROM on (using adb whilst connected to your computer) and reinstall (probably need to wipe a bunch of stuff).

If you don't understand much about this then it might be best to find someone who does.

---------- Post added at 10:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 PM ----------

did you do a full wipe before installing the new ROMs?

Has your friend changed you to a HBOOT with tiny system partition and you are using fat ROMS?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nofear99:
THANKS FOR THE REPLY BRO

I KNOW ABOUT BOOTLOAERS AND RECOVERY MAY BE NOT LIKE YOU BUT A LITTLE

CAN U TELL ME A LITTLE ABOUT FULL WIPW AND nandroid backup

You know, just near the alarm in your clock app.

It tested it ant it works perfectly.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] RockitOut11:
Great app! Tested and working good on my Xperia U (HDPI)

i can give u some screenshots on HDPI if u want, but they are almost the same of MDPI, so i think you wont need

The only problem i found so far, is when i swype from outside of the screen, on Xperia U, it doesn't swype to the other panel... But if i swype a little bit from the inside, it works good

And a suggestion, when the stopwatch is working, if you tap the HOME button, it could get an icon on the notification bar to fastly go to the app, and on ICS, it can even have a button to make a LAP or Pause on the notify! Just ideas!

Thanks!

Testers are you here? :)
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] fifo171:
Yep. :)

One "bug" found - when I set the timer, there is no way to delete it.

So if I set for example timer for 3 mins and start it, it will beep after 3 mins, but I can't delete it. It will stay there. If I want to set timer for different time (for example 5 mins), I set it, but it will first beep after 3 mins, and then 2 mins after the 3 mins one

BTW how did you expand the notification? AFAIK you can use only 1 finger in the emulator. :confused:
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] fifo171:
:eek:

From this I assume that it will be expanded as default.

That's a pitty, I was excited because i thought that there is a way how to expand the notifications with one finger (Synaptics user here :( )

hi...I have bigxie apex ics rom on my nexus s and when i flash matr1x kernel 19.5cfs it starts to freeze. Works just fine with the stock kernel. Also when i was using the cm9 it worked fine with the stock but when i flashed matr1x kernel it started to freeze and reboot. Please help!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chronophase1:
His kernel is undervolted by default. The phone might not be able to handle the voltages. I have no idea how to fix it though since you can't even get past the full boot. Better off going with something else.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aktifit:
had the same issue, just use another kernel or raise voltages. i've got no idea why everyone recommends matr1x, UV by default just doesn't make sense since every cpu behaves differently. it's like selling "one size fits all" t-shirts. i recommend simple kernel or trinity, they are the most stable ones on my phone apart from stock obviously.

The most known product doesn't mean it's the more fitting for everyone. It just means it's popular. *shrugs*

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrath123:
thankyou for the replies...i will try the trinity kernel
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mixtapes08:
You all argue about matrix yeah its undervolted so?? You need to raise your voltage to to make it stable because not all phones can handle undervolted values. It's been address millions times and you all still argue.? Goddamit!! (Bunch of noobs) try to solve the problem first before suggesting another kernel. It so irritating you all. I'm sure matrix dev despise you all because of your.ignorance.

Sent from my Nexus S®
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skunk Ape1:
I am guessing most people do know that it is undervolted. If they don't, I wouldn't understand why. He plainly states that if you have freezing issues to raise your voltages right in the FAQ. I have been running the Matr1x since gb and have never had issues with the undervoting. Perhaps your phone can't take it.

If people aren't smart enough to read what the developer has to say, why would he set it to the higher voltages and expect users to move the voltages down themselves. You imply the common user is not smart enough to do it themselves. So what does that leave the developer to do? He can make it like he thinks it should be or make it for the idiots that can't or won't read the op comments.

People need to understand kernels run differently on every phone. So instead of whining they should just move on.
