I agree that the screen sharpening issue is relatively minor as it is only noticeable under certain circumstances. But it clearly is there and it is a flaw that would be nice to fix, so I hope developers continue to play around with the kernel to see if it can be corrected. It's still extremely early in the custom development for the G3. Hopefully with a little time, this can be addressed.
[AT&T LG G3] KeeperOfThePizza:
Yeah, I don't know what people are complaining about... Does anyone actually have any visual proof of this "over sharpening" ?

I've yet to experience this.
[AT&T LG G3] atistang:
I wonder if this is a hardware issue. I'm on my second G3 and I have never once experienced this

Interesting. I've yet to experience this. Maybe it's the browser?
[AT&T LG G3] Misterowl:
Buy a new phone if the phone is too sharp. It is something that cannot be fixed unless you alter the screen dramatically to the point to where its unappealing. What's really funny is that people are asking to have it fixed by LG when its supposedly apparent on AOSP roms as well. Maybe and bare with me on this, its the actual hardware and not a software thing.
[AT&T LG G3] Misterowl:
Y'all really make it really hard to not have an inflated ego on this site because the grand majority can't use common knowledge and inferring. Your #1 shopping place for Pre-owned cellphones to meet your extremely high qualifications are a click away.
[AT&T LG G3] GroovyGeek:
This is not oversharpening, it is some sort of contrast correction. Notice how the blue background has completely dropped to black in the "oversharpened" image. It is understandable why this happens when the brightness is below 0. There is probably a hard coded contrast enhancement that kicks in at this point. I still fail to understand why anyone would want to run the phone in that mode. But as I said, yo money yo problems.
[AT&T LG G3] wobb:
This algorithms simply places black and white pixels on edges where two colors meet. Attached is an image i just took of my G3s chrome browser icon. Note the area where yellow and green parts of the icon meet there are white and black lines separating the colors but no white and black lines separating the green/red(some white pixels on this juncture) red/yellow sections. These white/black lines are not present on my old SGS3. Also some white pixels are visible on the border of the circle too where colors meet the black background. These pixels are there on all brightness settings.

[AT&T LG G3] julandroid:
Guys, I'm considering the G3 as my next phone. However I'm worried about the sharpening issue!

Since the sharpening is applied on the top of everything, a simple (but not 100%) test would be *just* to make screenshots (within the phone, not with the external camera) and post it here for comparison.

If it is a hardware issue (which could be weird, but still possible) then the generated image from the software will not have any sharpening (although the image itself might have some artifacts due to the jpeg compression).

Please make some screenshots (I guess there is some button combination to take screenshots within the phone) and attach them, here in the thread!

Edit: I've spent 10 minutes looking at dozen of full-size /native resolution/ screenshots posted in the Internet (just google for LG G3 screenshot) and all of those were with great quality *without* single sharpened pixel. So, either the screen refracts somehow the light and cause that effect in some lightening condition or the screenshot function takes the image just before the sharpening code to take effect (not very likely). I see no third option! Now I'm more and more interested to see your screenshots (power button + volume down), in the moment when you clearly see the sharpening, so we can better judge the cause!
[AT&T LG G3] wobb:
To answer your question, the sharpening is believed to be implemented on kernel/gpu driver level and does not appear in screenshots and is not removed after you install a custom ROM. I added a screenshot of my screen with the chrome icon so that you can compare it with the pictures I have made before.
[AT&T LG G3] mosincredible:
Nowhere near serious enough to not buy the phone. The example pictures make it look worse than it actually is. Don't cheat yourself and not get the phone because of it. Just know that if your eyes are sensitive to those type of things, you may see it every once in a while. I happen to be a dead pixel hunter, micro scratch spotter, constant fingerprint wiping, 1 speck of dust under a screen protector drives me insane, type of person...And the sharpening doesn't bother me.
[AT&T LG G3] GroovyGeek:
I agree that this a clear example of sharpenjng artifacts, the previous was not. But is this what all the *****ing and moaning is about? You need to view at 2x or higher mag to even notice it, and then you have to go looking for it.
[AT&T LG G3] taphius:
You can easily see it on anything with a grey background or when the screen dims when transitioning between items.
[AT&T LG G3] wobb:
You don't need magnification to see it. You do need magnification to take a clear picture of it with a camera though. If it needed magnification that much I wouldn't have noticed it immediatelly after buying the phone and wouldn't have been disappointed.
[AT&T LG G3] julandroid:
Yes, that is quite possible. The GPU (kernel) driver can be recompiled, but the opengl driver is always supplied as binary from the manufacture - at least that was the case before and it is up to the LG to offer the fix. The reason is that the source code for the (adreno) opengl is not open-sourced :(
[AT&T LG G3] jriv:
Haha I can't tell a difference the examples that everyone says are over sharpened look better to me lol
[AT&T LG G3] julandroid:
I'm still evaluating the sharpening effect to my eyes :D Its great and bad at the same time. I still can't decide whether I love it or hate it! :)

Many quality (pc) monitors have sharpness setting in the OSD menu, like those: http://www.xbitlabs.com/images/monitors/samsung-sa850/p19.jpg and http://media.bestofmicro.com/D/L/398361/original/20-menu-5.JPG which on my monitor happened to be set 4 of 5, by default.

I guess, LG choose a bit higher value, but if they remove the sharpening completely it will become a bit fuzzy.
[AT&T LG G3] 4ndroid99:
Or maybe they can tune it like the oppo f7?

Anyway, there's like a thousand threads over at the G3 general forums if you guys want more info/proof that it exists/solutions/etc.

Anyone know of a waterproof case for the N6? Something similar to a lifeproof case, perhaps? I know its water resistant, but looking for waterproof.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerntserms:
I believe the Nexus 6 is IP67 rated - 1 meter submersion in water for 30 minutes with no damaging ingress of water.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdandashly:
Source? I don't think thats true.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
It's not it's only splash resistant like the moto x due to the nano coating
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerntserms:
So this isn't scientific or from the manufacturer, but some guys did an IP67 test and the Moto X passed. The moto website only says "water resistant" which is horribly ambiguous. The Nexus 6 has the same water resistant tech.

[can't post link]

I'm an electronics engineer, and a few of our products are "IP67" rated. A lot of times the manufacturer will not state or guarantee the IP67 rating because some devices will inevitably get water damage and then customers get pissed because they think waterproof means water invincible.

I would bet the Nexus 6 will pass the IP67 test every time - provided the device is new and the seals aren't damaged and you haven't dropped it too much.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdandashly:

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshm.1219:
The nexus is not nearly popular enough for lifeproof to make a case. They only do iphones, galaxy s series, and the droid turbo. They only did the turbo as part of a deal with Verizon because Verizon is most likely their largest customer.

http://smile.amazon.com/Full-body-P...976731&sr=8-7&keywords=nexus+6+beetle+supcase

I have this case and even though it doesn't say it is waterproof or even water resistant, I really feel like it would at least buy some time. It has port plugs built in that seem to seal really well. That said, I have noticed that some liquid can get in between the screen and case when I am talking on the phone out in the rain or if a spill happens to land at the speaker cutouts. Other than a bit of sticky soda syrup in the speaker grill that washed up with some denatured alcohol, there was no permanent damage. This is a very, very tough case to boot. My favorite part of this case is the volume and power nubs are easy to find by feel. Even with these fingers that have lost much of their sense of touch. So at the worst case you get some great protection for around 20 bucks.

Worst thing. The color selection does not include red. :crying:
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshm.1219:

From the ebay page: "3. Water resistant: you can use your phone when it's rainy day or go to the seaside. even drop a cup of water/coffee/milk on the phone, don't worry it will destroy your phone. But do not suggest you drop it into the water or bath , it's also not for diving. Will still allow water in if underwater"

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eddiemc:
Your shower scenario won't work regardless of the case you use.

The problem is that as soon as you get water droplets on the screen it'll go crazy. The phone will register water drops as touch and you'll won't be able to do anything. Even wet fingers is problematic.. Wet fingers leaves watery smudges that will prevent proper gestures from registering.

Another scenario:

If you sit in the tub and have a dry phone and dry fingers it'll work well.

Drop the phone in the tub and you'll have to wipe it off properly in order to use the gui. Wet fingers and wet screen is a no go since the phone won't register anything properly.

Now what if we can remove such permission check from app.

Is it possible to remove some sort of thing which ask app to check DRM states first and then perform the action

May be i am completely wrong or this is some new idea

Please give your valuable input to enhance knowledge of me kind of noob people

if u remove its permission, it may just count u dont have the drm key, or the app itself may crash

I was thinking why dont just make a no drm version of those apps...

maybe it's something very deep inside the app and cannot be easilly changed that way

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] akatheworst:
Ok I am new here so be easy.

I have been searching and messing around with this for several days now and here is where I am at.

I Finally managed to root my sgh-i337 S4 using this method

" 1. Take the NI1 OTA update. (Should the update fail see troubleshooting section below).

2. Place your phone into "Download Mode" (press and hold the "Home", "Volume Down", and "Power" keys until the phone powers on and displays warning screen, then press "Volume Up" key).

3. Flash the I337_NC1_Stock_Kernel using Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+).

4. Root using Towelroot-v3.apk(internet access not required).

5. Power off then boot into "Download Mode" again.

6. Flash the I337_NI1_Stock_Kernel also in Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+).

7. Install SuperSU to manage root access. Done! "

I then used safestrap to back up my original rom and flash graviton into "slot-1"

Question 1:

I flashed the graviton rom and couldnt get my wifi to work

I would click the button and it would go on and then immediately back off

so i then redid everything and flashed both the graviton rom and the ATT_NI1_modules.zip kernel

I got the wifi to connect once and now it wont connect. What happens is i press the button and it slides right and stays there for a good 15 seconds then goes back to off.

I cant figure that out

Question 2:

Whenever I try to reboot or shut down the device the screen goes black but then my led pulses blue and nothing happens until I just hold down the power button until it fully shuts off.

can anybody point me in the right direction?

Thank you,

again I tried searching I had about 50 tabs open so if I missed something I am sorry

Yes the modules

So I just activated the stock rom,

wiped everything but the external sd in advanced

then flashed the graviton rom and the modules

I rebooted into system and it said "safestrap off"

I then got the graviton "loading snake"

During setup the wifi connected fine I tried rebooting and it rebooted fine

and now my wifi is working

but it seems that I am not rooted when I click super user it says no binary is installed

I think when i tried flashing the su updated that is what made my wifi stop working
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jmjoyas:
Safestrap off is shown when using stock slot. You can ignore that.
