[General Topics] Dymor:
Hi guys,

first of all I ask excuse if I don't talk a perfect english, isn't my main language even if I write a lot every day in english.

Everything that is written here comes from my own experience and on a lot of threads / posts that I read on the net.

Please don't blame me if something it's inaccurate​

I did some search before start this thread and no one talks about MediaServer like I'm doing there.

If I'm wrong let me know that

I'm writing this thread because a lot of people with ICS and JB see their battery going down fast because a process called "MediaServer" (or something similar), it's a system process and starts from boot and stops on shutdown (obviously!).

Media server it's the process that fills your gallery and music apps and also fills ringtones lists (alarm, ringtone, notification, etc.).

Doesn't stop here. It also controls audio and video of your device: when you play a song, MediaServer is streaming it; if you play a movie, MediaServer it's there; when your phone ring, MediaServer it's providing the ringtone.

That's why a lot of people even without songs or movies have MediaServer with some % on battery usage, cause MediaServer do a lot more than only scanning your memory but the most usually problem with MediaServer is it's bugloop. Corrupted / strange files can cause the scanner a loop that drains your battery really fast.

My phone got this problem too.

I've googled a lot and read a lot about this problem and the only method that solved this problem it's the following:

When MediaServer on it's scan process searches into all storages (internal and external SD card) and, I think, system folders. When it reaches a folder with a ".nomedia" file skips that folder and all it's subfolder.

So I did this.

Installed BusyBox Free and installed BusyBox from the app

Enabled Debug USB and connected to my mac (if you have a PC or Linux is exactly the same)

Open terminal (or cmd or what you have on your distro) and do "adb shell"

Browse your storages and go inside every folder

if the folder shouldn't contain some media file place a .nomedia file with the command "touch .nomedia". Remember, if you place a .nomedia file into a folder every sub-folder will not be scanned.

You can use the .nomedia to not display app's images into your gallery. I put .nomedia into viber and whatsapp folder too, I don't like that ppl see my viber images on the gallery.

I putted .nomedia files in every folder in my storages except for DCIM,picture,media,music,etc. folders that contains some media file.

Doing this MediaServer passed from 20-40% of battery drain after a day to 2-10% cause I listen a lot (very a lot) of music.

Please thank me if I helped you with this thread and share your own experience if you got this bug too.

[LG Optimus G Pro] Billy Madison:
So, I love everything about this G Pro except one thing it was bought for. The display of it is a disaster. I mean it's the worst LG smartphones' display in some years. I prefer to use indoors @ 60% brightness with autobrightness on and in this setting everything looks so dim, grey and almost unseen-able. Especially yellows, I mean there's almost no yellow colors @ all even at 100% brightness, but at 60% it's even worse. And to not be a windbag I've snapped some comparison photos of G Pro next to another LG smartphone, which has, IMO, the best screen ever. When you hold them both in hands its no question which one you'll keep to yourself being forced to choose

So if LG will continue to mistakenly set their display's color temperature to 10000K, I confess my next phone would be HTC or even Motorola. I don't want to see ppl faces of corpse skin colors, and green everywhere where yellow supposed to be

More examples photos.7z - 27.4 MB

What do you think?
[LG Optimus G Pro] designgears:
I'm at 25% brightness and I can see the yellows in the pics you posted just fine.
[LG Optimus G Pro] samomamo:
Return it if you don't like. I love it
[LG Optimus G Pro] designgears:
Your comparison phone is over-saturated and blown out. I am looking at the images on an very expensive and calibrated IPS at work. Neither phone has it right, but the G Pro is closer in comparison. The G Pro certainly is cooler in color causing the yellow to become green-ish. But comparing an almost green image looking for yellow is silly. It won't make people look like corpses... you can test that too, with pictures of people... odd you didn't include that in your image set.

Edit:

Wait, hold the phone, there is one person in your test, and they don't like like a corpse... imagine that.

Edit 2:

Wow, if you really can't see that the G Pro looks better, you need to have your eyes checked.

Can you really not see how **** the other devices screen looks?

What ever you used to take the pictures is very grainy too... just fyi.
[LG Optimus G Pro] colts187:
Is that a nexus 4?
[LG Optimus G Pro] ReggieSmith:
So take the phone back. Mine looks fine.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Sharpshooterrr:
That's a LG Nitro.
[LG Optimus G Pro] designgears:
every review I can find about it knocks points for the screen. I guess if you are used to looking at crap...
[LG Optimus G Pro] Billy Madison:
No, its not. It's Nitro which has the best screen ever. Ask owners, they'll confirm it.

You don't see my point or don't want to. Look on your expensive IPS at this image http://www.google.com/search?site=imghp&tbm=isch&q=5403393757_b5b17ea28d_o.jpg You see? There's tons of colors in it. Then transfer it to your G Pro and open, it made all color turned into shades of blue. It's intolerable. Well, Nitro also make this image bluish, sort of, but in way no as blue as G Pro

Nitro has its fallacies, of course, it can't show every possible color in the Universe, as I remember it covers 87% or 97% of sRGB when G Pro covers 99% sRGB. But Nitro has col.temp set around 6800K and all images looks true to life. I haven's seen one person who was dissatisfied with that screen, even photographers. And G Pro has around 9000K, it's way too much, the white percepted as grey, yellow almost gone and turned green, oranges turn into cherries and etc

IDC, I mean I want somebody who has proper cameras and access to second hand phones to find HTC One, lay it next to G Pro and make the same comparison as mine.
[LG Optimus G Pro] cleankutazn:
http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/contrast.php Mine shows yellow just fine here...btw the image you're giving us is really low resolution :silly:
[LG Optimus G Pro] Billy Madison:
No, even there it has slight green tint, and white below is blueish, you must have good IPS monitor or mobile display at hand to compare. When you compare the difference is stunning and eye-popping.

Also, in original post the second picture is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gombosdev.displaytester showing yellow on both devices and in archive all other main colors like white, red, blue. My concern is yellow and white because the white is what you looking at most of the time

It's for the sake of download size. Their intent is to show common picture not to zoom searching for details and pixels
[LG Optimus G Pro] Billy Madison:
No. I'm used to looking @ superfine LG's matrix

It's complicated, can't return it, only sell to somebody not as picky as me. But what buy instead?

I want lg to recalibrate and put true color in the next ROM, I know it's possible, first Nexus4 had bright screens with wrong gamma, then in april they started to sell truly calibrated Nexuses

BINGO! you knew it, you knew! ;)
[LG Optimus G Pro] lessthanzach:
Wait too much excitement up in here for me. I'm going to go to a quiet place and take my nitroglycerin pills.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Hendrickson:
Mine looks fine too, clearly you have a faulty phone. And looking at the pics I think the OGP looks more realistic.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Billy Madison:
No, I don't think so. Every other youtube review unit had the same cucumber-blueish tint on white background, EVERY. So it's LGs settings that are faulty.

Do you have any spare phone at hand? Like HTC One? It almost perfectly calibrated. Go to some place, put the same white or yellow wallpapers on both devices and compare which unit will be more eyepleasing and easier to look at. I'm sure the other phone than G Pro will be

We're waiting for anandtech review, pity that he doesn't even look at G Pro, it even prefer noname Oppo Find5, it means bad for LG, it's bad marketing that even anandtech doesn't review their phones
[LG Optimus G Pro] xenx:
I have yet to find a single review that had anything negative to say about the display on the Pro. The worst comment is that it's almost as good as S4/One. I even saw the color accuracy praised in a review. I don't doubt there are likely exceptions, but not in the ~10 reviews I browsed through.

My co-worker has an HTC One and while due to size his screen looks crisper, the Pro looks damn good otherwise.
[LG Optimus G Pro] vinniemac84:
Checked out that link, everything looked perfectly like they saidit was supposed to even at lower brightnesses...maybe u just have a bad screen, i watcj lots of vids and pix on mine and they all look fine
[LG Optimus G Pro] Billy Madison:
you watch vids & pix at 100% brightness? or at 40%? Try at 40% everything will be dull and dim

http://gizmodo.com/lg-optimus-g-pro-review-the-fastest-big-phone-out-ther-510096255 for example, they clearly state that the screen is subpar

"The screen is very nice. Text looks great on it, as do videos. It's not as good as the screen on the One or the S4"

B'cause it is, it has very wrong color balance blue-tinted and also anti glare coating is absent, when I look onto black color I perfectly see myself like in mirror
[LG Optimus G Pro] xenx:
"The screen is very nice." First sentence in what you quoted. Not a single one of the reviews mentioned an issue with the color balance. I personally do not see an issue with the color balance. A number of other people in this thread don't see an issue with the color balance. I definitely saw an issue between the two in the picture, but my phone doesn't look like that and from the sounds of it.. neither do most of the other people's. So, if everyone else is telling you it's your phone...
[LG Optimus G Pro] lessthanzach:
Why are you so effing worked up over this? It's not nearly how you describe. Almost everything you have pointed out is either slanted/strategically chosen quotes from actually solid reviews or pure hyperbole.

Just sell the flippin thing and move on, your exaggerated criticisms are going to scare off developers that we desperately need.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Billy Madison:
B'cause I've 2 LG's phone on hold, both having THE BEST in industry AH-IPS matrices, first '11year HD second '13 fullHD and when I grab both in my hands I definitely can see which is true and which is false.

Everybody here and every review stated that if you hold both Note2 and GPro you'll definitely see that GPro display is better. Its the same point which I state

I can see why all you don't see flaws in Gpro's screen, cause you never had truly gorgeous mobile displays in life, you come to GPro from SGS3, SGNote2, whatever. But I've owned gorgeous screen that's why my butt heart

The point is to not scare devs or buyers but attract LG's attention to their bad attitude. If they don't want their customers to prefer other brands like HTC or Sony then they must make better devices, not worse than previous
[LG Optimus G Pro] xenx:
You damn near seem to be the ONLY person to actually have an issue with the screen on this phone. Your excuse of not having a good display doesn't cut it. I have almost daily access to an HTC One. That screen only looks better due to higher pixel density.
[LG Optimus G Pro] ReggieSmith:
If your intent is to draw LG's attention to the supposed "drastic screen deficiencies" in the OG Pro's screen, why not post a note in the support forums on LG's web site? I think you're beating your head against the wall here as no one has yet to come close to supporting you.

At this point, your opinion is that

1- the screen is crap because LG has no yellow

2- you are the only one who can see it be EVERYONE else in here is used to crap displays so we can't see the problem

3- you have the perfect eye for discoloration on mobile screens so the rest of us should just accept your statements in this matter as fact

Does that about sum it up?

---------- Post added at 08:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:11 PM ----------

Is it just me or does it look like you have the brightness on the OG Pro turned down and the other phone it's cranked up? Without seeing where your brightness settings are, how can we know?
[LG Optimus G Pro] colts187:
Agreed. Move on. Lol
[LG Optimus G Pro] Billy Madison:
B'cause I'm fatigued registering on every damn other site. I want to share my opinions with community and get a feedback, so far seems like feedback is negative. But even negative feedback is a feedback too

everybody has right to raise concerns and post opinions here, I presume. my concern is that g pro display don't live up to my expectations. strange. I thought it would blow other competitors of the water. but IMO it's not happened, it's like "good but not something to write home about"

and returning to your second point, you can put this http://www.google.com/search?site=imghp&tbm=isch&q=5403393757_b5b17ea28d_o.jpg image on both your monitor and phone and you'll see it

Oh no, the brightness IS 50% on both of them without autobrighness. So G Pro has even way lower brightness than comparable phones, but I'm not complaining on that point, it's reasonable considering bidder measures

I thought somebody will come with different comparisons, HTC one I prefer, but seems like people don't have sparer time or some else
[LG Optimus G Pro] dnorthington:
Guys, billymadison feels the way he does and has made his point. Most others disagree. Lets just leave it at that and end the retreading.
[LG Optimus G Pro] draiko913:
One thing to note is that brightness varies greatly from phone to phone. 50% brightness does not guarantee that they are the same luminance. To get a truly accurate representation, someone would need to use a fairly accurate light meter to measure the cd/m^2 value at a fixed length from the surface of the screen and then set the brightness on each phone independantly so they are the same light output.

Not sure if anyone has the equipment around to do that, but I would love to see the side by side comparisons of that type of set up.
[LG Optimus G Pro] scott0:
i'm surprised lg hasn't replied to this thread yet.
[LG Optimus G Pro] debugger919:

[LG Optimus G Pro] flickyamom:
Optimus 4X

You guys tried comparing the screen of Gpro to O4X? The colours in O4X's screen is perfect for me(on custom rom though). Beautiful screen it has.
[LG Optimus G Pro] barondebxl:
Actually some are saying that the G pro has the best 1080p display of them all. OP must be daltonian.....
[LG Optimus G Pro] Billy Madison:
And did you try compare yellow color in Display Tester on both HTC1 and G Pro? Do they have identical tint? Could you provide us a photo made on very accurate SGS4 camera?
[LG Optimus G Pro] scott0:
there's no question in my mind the ogp renders color better and this picture proves it.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Billy Madison:
It's the camera comparison, not display's. And I'm sure camera on G Pro is just fine, better than overhyped SGS4. But I have no complains for the camera, my topic is about not accurate display's color rendering
[LG Optimus G Pro] scott0:
not sure which part of my comment you did not understand but my ogp renders colors fine- camera and display.
[LG Optimus G Pro] dginsd:
Lol @ this thread, I needed a good laugh. It's a 5" phone screen guys not an ISF certified monitor,which is hard enough to get right even having all the proper adjustments and calibration equipment, there's really little if any need to have a perfectly color accurate image displayed on a smart phone.

That said, the image on my g pro seems just fine, for what it's worth though I do use the white balance settings on the trixtermod app to tone down the coolness a bit.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Emmanuel2000:
There is a reason behind the cooler tint in LG screens and overheating protections months after having your device all IPS displays eventually get higher in temperature colors because of screen burn they try to slow this process down with overheating protection so that you don't return your device after you notice that the screen turned yellow all of a sudden. it's all for a reason.

Plus i think it looks much better if it's cooler since you can appreciate most of the colors especially a more natural white not too yellow.
