[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] amenic:
Hey guys,

was running Fresh 5.3.1 and went to CM 10 stable.

I did the following prior to this:

1. updated radio for s-on devices via TWRP to get to latest version

2. factory reset

3. wiped system

4. wiped cache + dalvik

5. flashed cm10

6. booted, download Titanium backup

7. Titanium complain about seeing an android device ID mistmatch and said it would fix it so I said yes

8. Observing that I cannot connect to LTE network (it won't connect and won't fail back to 3g). I can only connect to 3g when LTE isn't available. EDGE works fine.

9. Also noticing that the device doesn't switch APs well at all like my old stock ROM or FreshROM did. (It will hang on to a WIFI AP that has a weaker signal).

Anyone else having these issues? Should I not change the device ID with Titanium? Is that the cause?

TIA.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] amenic:
UPDATE 1: Also installed / flashed gapps for JB in there

UPDATE 2: I'm also running radio (baseband) 1.12.11.0809 (latest I believe). Never had any issues like this with any other ROM I've tried (stock, Fresh, OMJ, pokerom) ...

UPDATE 3: Going to try again without restored Android ID

UPDATE 4: I wiped and reflashed and did NOT restore previous Android ID via Titanium Backup and now 4G LTE works fine but I'm still having the WiFI AP issues - seems like this ROM doesn't have logic on the client side wifi stack to look for a stronger AP with the same BSSID and switch to it - I thought it was a native function of the spec but I guess not.

Now GPS doesn't work this release isn't what i would call stable

EDIT: Went into a sense based ROM and did the ##GPSCLRX# code from the dialer app, then using msl reader put in the password and after this got a GPS lock in maps then went back to cm10 and GPS is working fine again...

A few days after working all these kinks out it seems to be much better... definitely a rough start!

EDIT 2: Stock camera app is having problems... Requires rebooting the phone but third party camera apps seem to work fine.. Also intermittently having an issue where the phone seems happy to have no data connection even though it's clearly available (won't get 4G, 3G or edge)...

I swear, today's BS at the Sprint store has me engulfed in fumes! Last week, i ask to have a white Note 2 ordered as I wanted to pay the full retail value. Had a good chat with the sales rep(long time friend), and took care of me accordingly. Due to the late order, this was last week Thursday, said the phone would be in today and to come by then. No problem, waited patiently.

Walk into the store today and ask for my phone. Was told only one shipment came in and there's no white N2's to be seen with my name on it. The girl rep told me, I'd be notified once the phone arrived. Said, np and waited patiently again. Hrs go by till about an hour ago. Call, girl rep says phone is here. I'm like wtf, why wasn't I notified!! Then im told to bring all the payment upfront or no phone, on top of the ***** telling me she was confused about everything and couldn't help me!! FACEPALM...

Called up Sprint and *****ed about it all. Ordered the phone, through the billing 1-800 number and had it over night shipped. The helpful lady waved the $35 activation fee, along with the $12 shipping fee. Even though it was nice, i feel like a better discount could have been given. When you spend $700 ++ on the phone followed by 12yrs of customer loyalty, you'd think that sprint would throw in a phone case w/10%-15% off my phone purchase...!

the last time i tried replacing my nexus s 4g (after having dropped it and cracking the screen), asurion offered me a different phone because they had none at hand that very moment. i would be okay with this IF it was an upgrade from my phone, but they tried giving me some LG phone that was anything but an upgrade spec & feature-wise. turns out the lady was offering that phone to me only because their highest priority was to have a phone to me by the next business day. i told her waiting an extra business day to get the same phone was no problem... got a replacement 2 days later ::rollseyes::

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milkisgood123:
Just received my Nexus 4 today and the color are definitely washed (not so popping) on the phone. I actually think they are sub-standard than other lcd screens. Anyone agree? Can a custom rom saturate the colors more? Is there a way to saturate the colors without a custom rom?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonwc:
I don't agree. I think the colors look great. Color reproduction is just more accurate. AMOLED colors pop because colors are oversaturated. It's unrealistic and I prefer the colors on an IPS display. In any case, you'll probably get used to it shortly.

Yes Colors are washed out on Nexus 4 compared to Xperia S. And I'm not talking about Mobile Bravia Engine.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mchimney:
The colors on my device are not washed out what so ever. They seem to be pretty accurate, but not eye popping like amoled. If i try to view the phone at an angle, there is a yellow hue but that's it. Very happy with the screen
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richteralan:
Well the Xperia S has just a LED-backlit LCD screen, not even IPS. I never liked AMOLED in any way.

Sony does have something that is superior to Korean companies.

Judging by the chrome icon. Thats how green red yellow suppose to look like. The dynamic and standard option on the galaxy s3 make the colors over saturated. So naturally. Your eyes are use to seeing stronger colors. But thats not how they are like in real life.

I do lots of editing and photography.

OP is used to amoled. This panel is absolutely gorgeous.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idividebyzero:
I have a Dell Ultrasharp for work and use the same wallpaper from Jellybean, the colors are definitely undersaturated on the phone.

Realistic colors mean wide color gamut, which means being able to do both unsaturated and saturated. The phone cannot do saturated colors well, which means it has a narrow color gamut and only looks realistic when its not showing an image with high saturation in it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lookitzjohnny:
Wait for these kernel devs cook something up like on the GNEX, edit the contrast and things will be popping!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkRyoushii:
Yeah I'm used too amoled also and noticed the difference, the colors seem very similar to the Nexus 7 which makes me wonder if it's a color profile or something that can be IMPROVED (ie not 'fixed') with software updates, mods and kernels.

After a few days though, I definitely noticed the difference in terms of usability.. this phone is much nicer to use than the S3 was, and I'm not automatically rushing to the night mode settings whenever possible.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmandHammer:
Screen saturation and contrast

I am also waiting for the kernels to add this function but I read in a franco kernel thread that those features are only available on AMOLED screens. Can anyone confirm this?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=31793615&highlight=screen+color#post31793615

Or maybe that was not capable on the one X display but will be capable on the Nexus 4 display?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idividebyzero:
I think I figured out what is causing the colors to be washed out: Gamma. I watched a black and white video and the greys were way too bright compared to a high end monitor. The blacks looked fine but the greys being too bright means the gamma is set too high, which has a side effect of washing out colors. I also compared 2 of the same wallpapers side by side and the phone was too light.

If a ROM can lower the gamma then it might look more like the One X screen and give richer colors, if anything can be changed about the screen it should be the gamma since that is usually set via the OS. LG might have been trying to match to old Mac gamma set at 1.8, that was very washed out compared to the standard NTSC gamma 2.2 which is what everything else uses, Apple ditched that gamma as default a few years ago.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmandHammer:
Hrmm Im wondering if that is just a setting within the ROM that is easily changed. Gamma does seem like the one that controls that but I'm wondering how hard it would be to change those settings in the stock ROM. After you root ofcourse.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idividebyzero:
On a computer the gamma is controlled by software rather than the monitor hardware. It should be something developers can change. It is something dictated by the device, not the display, so Windows and a NTSC dvd player will have a preset gamma of 2.2, a PAL device might be 2.8, Macs used to be 1.8, the display you use probably wouldnt even function if it doesnt receive a gamma setting from the device.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ingenious247:
Maybe it's just me, but I don't think the "oversaturated" colors are to blame for the preference of amoled.

If you notice (and this goes for pretty much any non-amoled screen) the WHITES are "oversaturated" on the Nexus 4 (and the Nexus 7, etc)

So by "true" colors what everyone means is overly bright whites that actually take away from the colors themselves. Hence the "blue" or "yellow" tinted whites on amoled.. when actually they are just quieted to give life to the actual colors instead of a "true" white (which is just a blinding white if you ask me...)

Just my two cents, I'm sure I'll hear no end to this..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zealtor:
colors are definitely washed out. I'm coming from a HTC One V (SLCD 2 screen) which has much better colors and more natural whites. The colors are also washed out when compared to my dell IPS monitor. Hopefully this just a calibration thing that can be fixed with a custom rom/kernel.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmandHammer:
I also am coming from a previous phone that had an LCD with better color rendering. The HTC Sensation with a Super LCD.

Im really hoping there will be a fix for this as this is my only complaint about the phone.

I know the screen can do it because you can use a photo editing app and boost saturation/contrast and make the picture look great. Just isnt set from the beginning with the AOSP ROM?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rccola159:
Noticed this too coming from a HOX. Everything else being better makes up for the color reproduction though.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YoungAceAtlanta:
I had explain this in the other nexus 4 US thread.. The colors are washed out if you compare them to other IPS display screens.. I have a One X and notice it.. Its not as bad as the Nexus 7 tho... And my LED is dim also... Only two problems I have with the Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ingenious247:
I've been puzzled over why some LED lights are darker - they shouldn't be.. but I'm betting it's the same "aiming problem" they have with the ffc on most devices.. they don't get the orientation correct so most of the light is blocked. Just a theory..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] downwiththebanksters:
Don't forget AMOLED screens degrade over time. My GS2 now has a really noticeable blue band (when looking at a white screen) along the notification area when set to low brightness. Not ever gonna be an issue for LCD.

If i am taking picture in low light, suddenly the camera shows yellow tint. If i close camera and open again it works fine. Is that normal?

I just got my N4 today and did a quick test with my gnex. All pix are shot in raw and then converted to jpg. DSLR, manual exposure, F2, 1/1600, iso1600, white balance is the same for all the pictures.

Both phones at 100% brightness

Top is N4

Bottom is Gnex
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erikiksaz:
Don't know if my eyes are fooling me, but it seems like pre-update, my N4s colors were a bit more saturated. After updating it the the newest version, saturation seems to be a bit down.

It was much like the update to to the Nexus S a while back where Google changed the warmer colors to the cooler side.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OmgitzFire:
I have to agree with the OP,

However, that's because I am used to running trinity kernel ;]
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YoungAceAtlanta:
Maybe the colors aren't washed out like others said and its really showing true colors. With that being said then I guess half of these apps uses some ugly shades
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snail3:
I can feel the washed out color too, compare to nexus 7 and nexus 10, the nexus 4 color just feel "pale" to me, also my nexus4's white balance is towards cold temperature side which makes the pale/washed out feeling even more evident.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idividebyzero:
I can confirm that the gamma on the phone is set too high, I forgot that a way to calibrate gamma is using simple images.

Open the image below in a new tab, zoom in enough so the lines arent being garbled, then blur your eyes, where the lines and gray background fade into each other the most is where the gamma is set (it wont be exact since the color temps are also messed up but thats not that big of a deal).

On my phone the gamma is set to around 1.3! That is off the charts, 1.8 is the highest you would possibly want and 2.2 is what it should be. (with gamma, a lower number is a higher brightness). The only reason you would want to use something higher than 2.2 is for calibrating your monitor to the output of some other device like a printer, for web 2.2 is your target.

from http://www.normankoren.com/makingfineprints1A.html

So no this phone is not accurate, it is violently inaccurate. Surely Google should fix this. Fix the gamma and you fix the saturation issue for the most part.

If you want to look at other gamma test images then just search "gamma test" and look for images like these:

A display that has the gamma and color calibrated correctly will have the middle blend in. These are 2.2 gamma squares and the phone doesnt even come close.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmandHammer:
Great information in this post. Glad we have evidence now.

Is the gamma setting just a ROM setting ? Kernel setting? We may need a developer to chime in on this. That makes no sense why they would put it so high.hopefully its an easy fix

Its just weird because the screen is capable of better colors, when I adjust saturation in aviary the colors are awesome.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snail3:
Just to get an idea, mine one is 8gb and washed out/high gamma is very noticeable, does anyone using 16g has the same problem?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] admiez:
You can use Display Tester to check your gamma levels.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmandHammer:
Using display tester the closest one is between 1.8 and 2. So let's 1.9. The app says it should be 2.2. Hrmmmm

I have 16 GB and colors are washed. FYI

Viewing Angles?

Anyone notice the viewing angles seem pretty bad? My fiance has the galaxy nexus and when viewing the phone at extreme angles colors don't seem to shift too much. When I do the same with my nexus 4 (8gb) blacks turn grey/white, white turns yellowish etc... And this happens at very little change in angle. Am I the only one who notices this? All the reviews say the viewing angles are great.

I'm going to try and do a video showing what mine looks like...maybe I have a bad unit?

Yes, the colors are washed out and the display adjuster apps don't fix the issue.

I am a professional photographer and I have a calibrated screen when I edit my photos and when I view them on my Nexus 4 they look super washed out and their is no pigment to the skin tone. It's so bad I'm trying to trade my Nexus 4 so I can go back to my S3 which displayed the skin tones more accurately.

One thing I noticed is when I first got my Nexus 4, the screen saturation was nice. I then was notified of a system update and after I updated the colors changed dramatically and looked washed out.

So I'm assuming the colors can be adjusted through a software tweak.

if you swipe the gamma screen on display tester you get color tests, the colors are extremely high at 1.4'ish with blue being the worst

I hope adjusting gamma in the kernel is successful because the values Google set are ridiculous, I worry that they set these bad values because the display looked terrible at 2.2 gamma, hopefully it was just some lone developer that had no idea about color.

Screen Saturation / Faded Look

I was so excited to nab the last Google Nexus 4 at my local store and after using it for an hour I had a massive headache and suffered severe eye strain. After realizing what the cause was, I double checked my 'old' HTC Sensation and realized my new phone that is supposed to be superior, actually sucks. LG or whoever approved this screen, are complete idiots. The screen clarity is awful. Not crisp, overly faded out and over saturated and looks crappy. I'm pretty disgusted about this and might actually return the phone because of this solely. Ugh! How does a phone made by a major HDTV producer, have such a garbage screen? Darn you Google!

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmandHammer:
I have bought the app. You can adjust the red green and blue colors and by toning down the red and green i am not having the "washed out" look anymore. This screen is better than other display i have seen. Blowing me away now that i can adjust these colors.

Either the phone you looked at was a dud or you might need your eyes checked. This display and the iPhone have the clearest and crisp displays on the market. The sensation screen pales in comparison to this one. I used that device for 8 months before the nexus 4 and it just kills the sensations display in every aspect.
