This is how bad the sharpening is.

[G3 General] Heisenberg420:
Please tell me your not comparing a screenshot to a selfie taken in a mirror -_-

I've read all this stuff before when i bought my yoga 2 pro, being the first 3200x1800 res laptop. Nothing but comparisons to 1080p displays, critics talking about color inaccuracies. All the credible reviews said it was a total failure and more of a negative that a plus. But i'm glad I picked it up, I was able to hold it and hold a samsung notebook with a 1080p display and honestly it was night and day, the higher res wins. Maybe that's just me cuz i have 20/10 vision but if resolution is important to you don't overthink it and take all these display calibration tests too seriously. Make the judgement for yourself.
[G3 General] dhkx:
Mirror? What mirror? That is a picture I took of my G3. What do you even mean by "make the judgement for yourself"? I bought the G3 and have it with me, do you? The oversharpening is a flaw in the LG's software or display. It causes display problems with certain fonts (most obvious with a black font and a light coloured background) and it is a significant issue if you read ebooks. Hopefully this is something that LG can fix through a firmware update.
[G3 General] leomd333:
I previously had a G2, I think the G3 screen (color wise) looks fantastic.
[G3 General] Heisenberg420:
My point is 90% of the critics are complaining about things most people wouldn't ever notice on their own. No I don't own a g3 right now and no I don't normally read ebooks. (and I can't really see anything wrong with the text in your pic)

When I say make the judgement for yourself I'm talking to the majority of us who don't own the phone, because I see way too many people (on here, reviews, supercurio) saying terrible things about the display. Just saying that from experience as I've been in this boat before buying the first 'next gen display' while it's being compared to 1080p displays that have been on the market for a while that have all the kinks worked out already.
[G3 General] Enddo:
I think you might need to borrow my glasses then. maybe lay off the bong for a few days
[G3 General] Heisenberg420:
Lol I have 20/10 vision but I guess your eyes have better judgement.
[G3 General] toncij:
This looks pretty bad. Would you be kind and show us classic Kindle black text on white bck? I'd greatly appreciate it!
[G3 General] papaketchup:
I noticed this when my phone's firmware got upgraded a few days back. The text seems a bit weird.
[G3 General] rushless:
I have seen the sharpness issue and the only way you will not notice it is if the new device pixie dust does not wear off. Anandtech and other reputable sites as will as users have noticed it.

Should be a simple setting that LG can turn off. Hopefully.
[G3 General] sub69:
Well, I love my G3, I haven't been near a bong in years, and my vision is perfectly good (with contacts).

I find the oversharpening is irritating too, though. So any software fix would be very welcome.
[G3 General] Lostatsea23:
Definitely is. The find 7 uses the same screen and doesn't do the over sharpening. I think they did it to try to emphasize the need for the resolution.
[G3 General] turt:
I don't see it, even on the pics posted in this page... What are we supposed to see exactly ? Confused...
[G3 General] Lostatsea23:
If you had the phone you would know what we are talking about haha. Its very noticeable. Anyways has anyone tried getting in contact with LG about the sharpening?
[G3 General] turt:
I have the phone since last week so here goes your point :o
[G3 General] sub69:
Sharpening is there to increase the contrast between light and dark edges...

Basically, where you have dark text on a light (but not pure white) background, over sharpening causes the dark text to have a noticeable white "glow", or "halo" around the edges of the individual letters.

If you look at dhkx's second picture at full size you can see that the background is off-white, then there's a pixel or two of bright white before the black pixels that make up the text. It's particularly obvious on text with straight edges:

[IMG="Zoomed"]http://i.imgur.com/BgdKjjP.png?1[/IMG]

As you can see, it only really happens left to right, the flat tops of the "W" are fine, and have no bright white pixels between the black text and the background.
[G3 General] Enddo:
that is an amazing example. thank you for taking the time to do this post
[G3 General] WACOMalt:
I got the phone today and immediately upon turning it on remarked to myself "What the hell is with the sharpening?"

It's a 4K display. in no way shape or form does it need extra sharpening. Applying something like that globally across your whole screen is basically a cardinal sin in imagery in my opinion.

Whether you notice it or not, it's been proven that they're doing it. And many many of us find it super annoying.

I hope LG will fix it preferably, or at least the talented programmers in the development scene. I would toss another $50-$100 at this problem for a fix right now. My eyesight isn't even great and it bugs the crap out of me to the point of preferring my G2 display.
[G3 General] Semantics:
Find 7 has plenty of other screen complaints, like its really yellow.
[G3 General] Lostatsea23:
Yep. But those issues can be fixed lol
[G3 General] supposedmonster:
I recently posted this on another thread, but for an obvious example, set your wallpaper to the built in photo of a mountain range. Move some icons to the top of your home screens and look at the app labels. It hurts my eyes.

Then load up arstechnica.com in your browser.

It's absolutely horrible. Why would you apply these effects to what should be an amazing screen? I just traded my HTC m7 in for this phone and I'm so sad.

I heard about this effect around icons before buying this phone. But the default wallpaper, the one with the blue background, completely conceals it.
[G3 General] Skizzy034:
2k not 4k.
[G3 General] valiymt:
Fix the sharpening issues by Yourself

So to fix this annoying issue to a certain level:

settings >>accessibility >> Color adjustment

turn it on and bring the circle a tab bit down on the middle, Now you can see that the sharpening effect is not seen
[G3 General] WACOMalt:
Right, sorry. Quad HD is 1440 x 2560 which is a 2k resolution.

While I'm correcting myself: Its technically called WQHD (Wide Quad High Definition) what a mouthful!
[G3 General] slayer3032:
Hate to break it to you guys but its even in TWRP on my D851. So its a hardware/driver implementation. No simple AOSP ROM will fix this. I'm returning my device for a G2.
[G3 General] armadafan271:
You are right... but the Yoga 2 Pro is also marketed towards professionals who sometimes need accurate color. I was VERY excited to see the high resolution display on that machine, but deep disturbed with the quality when I absolutely need precision color control in the work that I do. People who want/need those resolutions and displays are often graphics, photography, or web professionals... and the Yoga 2 Pro just doesn't cut it :(.... sadly I am still in the search for a high resolution laptop that isn't a Macbook Pro (I am not of fan of Apple).

Hopefully we will be able to make the G3 shine, and lets hope for better displays on future "Pro" series laptops!

Yes people should be the judge, but I am a fan of calibration tests. Precision makes a big difference for some groups.

did you do factory reset? I deleted <ShutterSound>on</ShutterSound> and changed features.xml, but still cannot swicht it off,

is it possible not to do factory reset??

I think no, because it's in the csc.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] pir0texnik:
I tried changing customer.xml and features.xml on 4.4.2 (Noto 3) and 4.3 (S3, Note 2). In both cases it was possible to switch on shutter sound menu, but it never changes state. It is always on, taping does not work. I baksmalied SamsungCamera2.odex and converted to java to undertand how does it work, but I am not a big specialist in java, maybe someone can help finally kill the sound...
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] tkari4:
1.) Add this line

<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>TRUE</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>

to others.xml or to features.xml. (if you have booth, than features xml will be used)

add over </FeatureSet>

<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>TRUE</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
</FeatureSet>
</SamsungMobileFeauture>

2.) Delete <ShutterSound>on</ShutterSound> or <ShutterSound>off</ShutterSound> from customer.xml

3.) Factory data reset

Should work..

2. I deleted <ShutterSound>on</ShutterSound> from customer.xml

3. I did factory data reset.

Now menu really works, but sound plays no matter what option is chosen...

I even added ro.camera.sound.forced=0 in build.prop and did factory data reset without any effect, shutter still plays.

An Error Occured ...

Hi,

if I try to Baksmali the SasmungCamera2.apk I get an error, please see uploaded pics.

Google couldnt help me. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] tkari4:
As I see you are trying to modify one apk file from an odexed Rom.

SamungCamera2.apk must be deodexed first.

You need SamungCamera2.apk & SamungCamera2.odex. Deodex it, than you can make changes.

If your Rom is odexed, than push the modified SamungCamera2.apk back to your phone, than delete SamungCamera2.odex and reboot.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Alec86:
deodexed apk

First thank you for your response,

I tried to deodexe with "Universal_Deodexer_V5" , I followed the instructions for this tool and deodexed SamungCamera2.apk. But I cannt still "baksmali" the apk. Same error.

I uploaded the log file from "Universal_Deodexer_V5"

Any idea?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] tkari4:
Try with this version, because you have the same error: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=55233256&postcount=1
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Alec86:
deodexed apk

Hi,

thank you again. Meanwhile I tried to enable/disable the shutter sound over the " features.xml" and it worked immediately. The shutter sound is now disabled PERMANENTLY, no matter if it disabled or enabled in the camera settings. The camera settings disable only the autofocus sound. I haven't do the factory reset, only wiped cache.

By the way, the fixed "Universal_Deodexer" works well. I Smali classout folder with our scripts and get "Moded_SamsungCamera2.apk" . The new Moded apk dont worke on my Phone (force close), what should I do (for the further experince)? I pushed the classes.dex in the deodexed apk, but still force close.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] tkari4:
Did you deleted the SamsungCamera2.odex from your phone?

Normally the Moded_SamsungCamera2.apk must work. (maybe the raw folder compression causing the problem in the apk)

Set the compression level before baksmali to 0.

Try to wipe dalvik-cache.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Alec86:
compression level

I sat the compression level to 0 and it works :) Thank you again

My shutter sound is still disabled PMANENTLY, no matter if it disabled or enabled in the camera settings. Is this supposet to be?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] tkari4:
You're welcome.

No it isn't normal, because you must have shutter sound doesn't matter if enabled or not, until Factory data reset.

Check your customer.xml in system/csc folder:

Maybe you have <ShutterSound>off</ShutterSound> line there. ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Alec86:
I solved it :)

some xposed module renamed my shutter sound file to .bak . I renamed it back and all works fine.

Many Thanks to you and your help. Great work
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kataeb:

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Oliy:
If your device freezes on the Windows loading screen, then soft reset it and while it is loading the next time, press one of the hardware buttons, such as the D-pad or the green or red phone buttons, continually as it loads. This should keep the lights behind the buttons turned on, and it should load Windows without a problem.

Had the same error on my phone, I think it tries to hibernate as it loads Windows or something equally stupid. Pressing a button continually prevents this and allows it to load normally.

[Moto G General] michalpo:
Hi All,

Yesterday I bought myself 4G LTE version from Tesco UK. I immediately noticed it is slower and less responsive than my dads 3g version bought from Vodafone. When you try to flip LTE device it takes nearly twice the time of 3G version. Although video won`t show it it kind of stutter when flipping as well.

From what I know brand new device should be quicker and snappier then 6 months used build, but it is not!

Has anyone got any ideas how to fix it? I do not think it is one off bad example. But it may have something to do with kernel and rom. 3G is still on stock Vodafone 4.4.2 while new LTE on 4.4.3 of Tesco.

Any advice? If not I will ask for a refund...

I am not happy about flipping being slower in new device... I will be going back to tesco and I will ask for a full refund. In my eyes I do not need really gyroscope, but I flip my mobile mutliple times a day and waiting for it to flip 1 extra second is so annoying! I would take my back 2 years in technology and that was not what I wanted buying new mobile....

It is a shame that a new version is slightly slower than old one. I do not think sd card is going to convince me to keep it... I will get 16gb old version and use OTG cable or wait for LG G3 to become available in decent price range 300-400 pounds.
[Moto G General] silomgs:
Well it seems to me that your testing has a few flaws...

First, you are comparing two completely different roms and most important you are comparing two roms that are not even on the same firmware version. And as it has been noted elsewhere version 4.4.3 is slower than 4.4.2

But this is Just my opinion
