[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Droff:
I think this was a gamble to actually appeal to more customers. This is not very surprising. TVs in the store also often have "presentation" mode with very vivid color (not correct ones) to catch peoples attention. Only those who care calibrate later for best color reproduction. In the store, vivid picture sells the device. Before technical analyses came out, there were plenty of reviews (if not all) saying how good display looks. Most were saying that sure, it would be good to have 2K, but this 1080 screen still looks great, etc. No complaints about color.

I think many people would point and say that screen with very vivid colors looks better next to perfectly calibrated (not so vivid screen). That is just how it is. For a company (Oneplus) that depends on internet sales (not sales through carriers) it probably wasn't a good decision after all. With so much hype and scrutiny going around "sRGB mode as an option" probably should've been there to begin with, so technical people have less to complain about and pop out colors crowd had their treat as well.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] gtg465x:
Yep. The panel definitely isn't bad quality. Anandtech gave it a poor review based on the calibration, not the quality of the actual panel itself. I can appreciate accurate displays and typically prefer them, but I can tell you this, most people will think the OnePlus 3 display looks great. The colors look about the same as the default adaptive display mode of the Note 5 and Galaxy S7, but the white balance is actually better (my OP3 has less green tint than my S7 Edge). If the Galaxy S7 didn't have the basic mode display setting that no one actually enables, Anandtech would have given it just as bad of a review as they gave the OnePlus 3.

As for sharpness, it's a non-issue. You can't even tell it's lower resolution than the S7 Edge unless you bring the phone about 6 inches from you face, and even then, it's not easy to tell.

Brightness is good too. I compared it to my S7 Edge out in sunlight today and the S7 Edge was only slightly brighter. Both were easily readable though.

At this point, I am leaning towards going back to the S7 Edge and returning the OP3, but it's not an easy decision. I have changed my mind back and forth several times. If I didn't already own an S7 Edge and was deciding between paying $800 or $400, it would be an easy choice... the OnePlus 3. It is soo close to providing an experience just as good as the S7 Edge. There are only a few small areas in which it falls a little bit behind, but those small improvements aren't worth double the price.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Konskl:
can you discern individual pixels because of the pentile technology that is used? that's really crucial. I'm not really bothered by some inaccuracies that the display might have. I'm using my note 4 with adaptive display which for sure is not accurate but i do like it. I think those innacuracies can be fixed with an OTA display profile or some tweaking with custom kernel. But pixelation cannot be fixed. So there you have it. Could you discern individual pixels. Ty for your review :)

Thank you for your input, it is much appreciated. I should be receiving my OP3 by the end of this week, can't wait!

Looks like Carl posted his thoughts on the latest Anandtech review (regarding the display):

"With our relationships in the supply chain, we know the BOM (bill of materials) of all other flagships. Out of all the devices that the OnePlus 3 gets compared to, it is one of, if not the most expensive to make. Do you think the price delta between a 2K AMOLED and a 1080p AMOLED is huge? It's a product decision, and spec by spec is not how to judge a product. The OnePlus 3 uses latest generation AMOLED made to our specifications by Samsung. The vast majority of our users, and reviewers love Optic AMOLED. It is NOT tuned to sRGB, and was never meant to be. sRGB tuning is a niche requirement and is not the right choice for the vast majority of smartphone users. Why do you think it's hidden under developer settings on the 6P? For those who need it, we've taken note, and have added it to the next OTA."

Interesting. Check out further debate in the comments.

http://www.anandtech.com/comments/10411/the-oneplus-3-review/504784

I'm no expert, but it seems like anandtech sticks to sRGB for a reason. I would not trust any party(oneplus, anandtech, anyone else) too much until I have more info. But you have to admit anandtech seem slightly more trustworthy since they give you "real" reasons and are a 3rd party reviewer unlike oneplus. Carl's reason was just that people like it and sRGB is not the standard(no reason provided). He didn't even respond to the usage of pentile amoled(last used in the Galaxy note 3 I believe). And im confused as to why he is citing expenses. That does not seem relevant (if we don't take into consideration that higher price means higher quality).

Usually your eyes just adapt to the display regardless of its color accuracy, since I don't think most people can't judge very well whether colors are accurate.(including me)

Thanks for the link though. Wonder when Android when implement some kind of color calibration standard. Or when some kind of metric for smartphone display quality/accuracy will be developed.

Here's another link. Note the last paragraph which I've also pasted here in hide quotes.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/7821/color-gamut-in-mobile-and-pcs

Seems pretty unbiased and there really doesn't seem to be any incentive for them to misconstrue their report.

http://gizmodo.com/which-smartphone-and-tablet-displays-show-the-most-accu-1660275228

Ultimately, such quibbles over color gamut and the resultant color accuracy of the display may not be able to override the dominant discourse of subjectively evaluated color in a display, and many people prefer the look of an oversaturated display to that of a properly calibrated one. But within the debates that will undoubtedly take place over such a subject, it is crucial to keep in mind that regardless of personal opinion on display colors, color accuracy is a quantitative, objective analysis of display quality. While subjectively, one may prefer a display that has a color gamut larger than sRGB, objectively, such a display isn't accurate. Of course, including a vivid display profile isn't a problem, but there should always be a display profile that makes for accurate color.

[MENTION=2791291]TritonB7[/MENTION] if you're on the oneplus forums (I'm not), I think it would be interesting if you posted there and linked them here to see what their response is.

I hope someone releases a guide on xda or elsewhere, how to calibrate displays accurately using kcal, or publishes a list of calibrated kcal profiles for different phones. Or maybe there already is a guide like that. I'll try searching.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] gtg465x:
No, definitely not. If I put the phone about 6 inches from my eyes, I can see some very minor jagged edges on curved lines, but definitely not individual pixels. And at 1 foot plus and normal viewing distances it's very hard to tell that the screen is lower resolution than my S7 Edge.

I just got my phone yesterday and very impressed with it having come from the Moto X Pure. I do see the display shift to blue hue when viewing the display at an angle, but I rarely ever do that and it's not enough to bother me. Also, I thought I'd link to this review regarding ota 3.1.4 ( you will need to use google translate).

[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] daneoleary:
For me, the "Optic AMOLED" is most problematic when it comes to having lots of text on the screen and reading text. Granted, that's an extremely important feature, but I just mean that as far as the experience of playing games, consuming media, looking at and taking pictures, and so on, the average user will probably be happier with an oversaturated display (re: more Samsung-like) than they would be with more faithful color reproduction. It seems like to the layman, oversaturation = better quality display, at least to a degree.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] TritonB7:
Hey everyone, just wanted to check back in and thank everyone for their thoughts on this matter. I also wanted let you all know that Anandtech just posted an update to their original review regarding the OnePlus3 display, stating:

To say that OnePlus's new sRGB mode provides a substantial improvement in display accuracy would be an understatement. The display has gone from being the most inaccurate display that I've seen in years, to being among the most accurate displays that we have on record.

Mmmmh, its not a truly bad panel but view it in horizontal position and the lack of resolution which drops to around 320 PPI is just too apparent. My guess is the panel is a few generations old. Its the most obvious part where costs have been saved and I do wonder about Op' wisdom on this. Other than that its a good phone IMHO.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] hasenbein1966:
Triton, that's really great to hear!

Now if just my replacement device (had irregular color hue on screen...) would be here... then I could enjoy this great phone even more!

I can't wait for the update. These updates will bring positivity to OnePlus 3. I'm waiting for update before root.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] brickedvice:
Are you serious? The S7 display is WAY better in every aspect.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] gtg465x:
I'm serious. I have both phones right here. And I did say that the S7 Edge display is a little brighter and a little sharper, but I don't see how that makes it WAY better, especially now that OnePlus has provided an update that calibrates it to be just as accurate as the S7 display in sRGB mode.

Many aspects are the same. Both are covered in Gorilla Glass 4. They have equal viewing angles. They are both AMOLED and made by Samsung. They both have similarly accurate colors in sRGB mode.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] brickedvice:
You are not the only one to have them both but yes your "a little" probably means "a lot". There is night and day difference in brightness, especially when you are outdoor. And where did you try sRGB mode in the OP3 so that you can say they have similar accurate colors? Samsung makes many different kinds/generations of amoleds. Your "They are both AMOLED and made by Samsung." statement makes no sense. If you love the phone that is okay but don't come here to talk about display being almost as good as the S7. Also it is not true that Anandtech dinged OP3 display just for color accuracy.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] gtg465x:
Oh, you haven't seen the updated Anandtech article I guess. OnePlus sent out an update that dramatically improved display color accuracy and Anandtech retested the screen and found that it is now one of the best in terms of color accuracy. And I've stated all over these forums that I am keeping my S7 Edge and returning the OnePlus 3 because I prefer the S7 Edge, so why would I pretend that the OnePlus 3 display isn't much worse than the S7 Edge display if I didn't actually believe that? Yeesh, you don't have to believe me. That's your choice. I was just posting my honest opinions and observations. I have been posting on xda since 2008 and am a recognized developer. I'm not some troll who joined two weeks ago.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] drummerman:
Has the Op3 sRGB update actually been released yet??

I have both here (S7e and Op3, criticising the latter mostly for the display accuracy and resolution, mostly in horizontal view). I will update my verdict accordingly but need to download the update first.

Like you, I keep the S7e, an absolutely brilliant phone for my purposes but the update may persuade me to keep the Op3 as second phone.

Hi

Anybody know how to change the place of the home button? You can ONLY swap the multitasking and back button but the home button is always in the middle. However on my OnePlusOne the home button is on the left as i can customize easily on Android 5.1.1 but on the Lollipop i could not find this option. Only swap.

This is very annoying :mad:

Hi community.

I am working on my project but before launch i was wondering about the importance of registering logo and name. Do you do it? I know that appstore do not allow app with the same/similar name so it does have some kind of protection, but what about logos and googleplay? How do you proceed?

I'm using native email app on Mate 8 for my business email. It is sending all emails as plain text so the text is displayed in Courier font on PC without any formatting. This is pretty bad for business mails. Is there any way to set default composing method to HTML?
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MuPp3t33r:
The native app doesn't support composing in HTML formatting as far as I'm aware. You could try the likes of AquaMail which I believe supports formatting of the text

Update: AquaMail uses RTF, not HTML. So you should at least get some degree of formatting but RTF does have its pitfalls. One common issue I've experienced before when sending in RTF to Apple Mac Mail clients is that attachments seem to appear as a winmail.dat files instead of the actual attachment

There are some other apps out there which support html signatures like cloud magic email client but I was wondering if it can be done on native app. Thank you very much for you opinion and comment.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Rioter_78:
Can I get separate volume control for ringer & notifications (also vibration off) without custom ROM? Why HTC didn't make link volume controls only as an option for users (like Sony did)? Also can't turn off vibration for notifications. Choosing "No sound" for notificantions signal but still getting vibrosounds. Annoying as hell. The only way "Do not disturb" mode. But already 2 missed calls and you can't really call it phone with ringer always off. Checked couple of apps but they can't unlink volume controls.

It will be great if HTC make separate volume controls. But I have a bad feeling they don't.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] NotATreoFan:
HTC is sticking very close to vanilla Android on the 10. Google moved away from separate Ring/Notification sliders with Lollipop, but some apps did still manage to separate them out. Marshmallow seems to have broken those apps as you noticed.

I just use DND and have an exception setup for phone calls from contacts. If they're not in my contacts, but call twice within a short period, the my phone will ring.

Calling me a liar serves what purpose?

I'm referring to the fact that unchecking the setting you rather sarcastically pointed to with a gaudy red arrow doesn't help the OP. He was commenting on the fact that placing the phone on silent using the volume buttons or slider will still permit apps to vibrate depending on their settings.

He went on to mention how DND is not ideal since that will silence ALL sounds, including the ringer, unless as I mentioned you create exceptions to it.

Man, you so aggressive and wrong in same time. Did I say something about SMS? I'm talking about ALL notifications: mail, notifications from G+/VK/Facebook/WhatsApp/etc, messages from Hangouts and Telegram (mostly). The phone just keep vibrating all the time if not DND mode (priorities do the work, but it's roundabout way).

Marshmallow in my opinion is just a crap. Who was that people hating tard who approved linking of volume controls without option to turn it off? Link him to Doof Wagon.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] jauhien:
That's a sheer lie!

As no one's else hTc 10 is vibrating when playing notification - unless it is set to do so in that particular application preferences!

Such notion as 'systemwide vibration' for all notifications does not even exist - which I proved with the screenshot in my previous post. And you keep lying..!

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Rioter_78:
The problem is here: EVERY app set Signal and Vibrating by default. And not EVERY app has option to turn notifications off. I turned off sound signals and vibrations from most apps though it takes time (3 mail accounts - 3 settings, all acounts in all socials and so on) but still got signal from one or two app.

But we're losing the issue itself. I need signals from some apps but there is no fast way to pick right volume. So the only option is kill'em all in settings of each app separately. Not smart, HTC. Why they didn't ask their customers what do we like? May be thats the reason their sales declining?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] jauhien:
But now we're losing the issue itself:

You blamed hTc 10 that it does not have option to switch off notifications vibration even notification tone picked as 'no_sound'.

I replied that such blaming (or accusing) is absolutely wrong.. because hTc 10 even does not have an option to add vibration to the notifications..

If you wish to use some poorly written apps and they misbehave it cause problems - it's only your choice and only your problem - it gives you no ground to blame hTc 10 about un-removable vibration attached to all notifications..

I am only concern about your blame to hTc 10 - and do not intervene into your operational environment..

Thank you!

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Rioter_78:
Man, you're contradicting yourself. Stay calm and read your message again.

I said HTC 10 can't switch off all vibrations from notifications. Did I ask to ADD vibrations? Don't blame me for something I don't said.

Volume control works for all apps no matter produce they sounds or not. So why HTC can't cut vibrations as well?

Also, please stop overreacting. Do you work at HTC or something?

i did not create an xda account to reply to a 3 year old thread (though it might as well have been a conversation between three years olds).

i created an account because xda encouraged me to when i was searching the Razer Phone 2 forums for help understanding my new AT&T fone (purchased a couple weeks ago).

i followed the link because the thread title showed up in my Google search. i didn't fully realize how old the conversation was when i commented on it.

i'm not entire new to xda, i visited a lot back in 2011 when i got my first Android fone (Motorola Droid X) and went to ham rooting and customizing it.

Right now, I'm sitting squarely in a camp of disillusionment having migrated from the Galaxy 7 to the Phone 2 and being newly unable to adjust ringer and notification volumes independently.

i'm just bitter after submitting feedback to google and scouring the web to find dozens of threads that all either digress from the thread title or result in a dead end with no sign of my issue being resolved. it's a very important job-related desire to separate ringer and notification volume levels.

i usually use Google's "search tools" to restrict results to "in the past 1 year" only, bust it seems i failed this time.
