s5 screen modes - Sprint Galaxy S 5 General

Which screen mode do you use and why? Also if anyone knows which screen mode reduces the risk of screen burn and which mode saves the most battery life.
I use professional photo mode because it looks accurate on color and not too washed out like cinema mode

I just use Adapt Display, as well as automatic brightness. Never had any screen burn issues with any phone.

Does the display mode selected affect battery life ?

Hey guys
Was just wondering if setting the display mode to Basic will use less battery than if you set it to Adapt display.
Colours are more vibrant and brighter on Adapt display.

Screen Burn Question

Hi, I just have a question regarding screen burns, because everytime i change from amoled cinema to basic mode some pictures will have like brownish colored parts on it? Is this what you call a screen burn? And another is that is using amoled cinema mode always gonna lead to early screen burn?(brightness set to 10% max)
Device: A5 2016
I'm quite sure that's what's supposed to happen. I have a new phone and it's like that.
That's why I prefer the adaptive display.

Night mode on lock screen/ambient display?

On the lock screen and ambient display, the display doesn't respect night mode. It is always in "day" mode. Once it unlocks, it fades to night mode. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a fix to enable night mode on the lock screen/ambient display?
Bump. Has anybody else noticed this?

From several reviews Ive seen the fingerprint sensor needs to flash at max brightness to work then the screen will go to whatever brightness you've selected

It's not the brightness that's the issue though, it's the fact that it's not tinted yellow for night mode.
The brightness flash is still unnecessary though. When registering a fingerprint, the rest of the display is dim, while the green circle is full brightness. There's no reason they can't do the same thing on the lock screen.
While verifying that fact though, I noticed that the fingerprint registration page disables night mode as well, so I guess it is a fingerprint thing after all. I still think it could be implemented better. I wonder if it's possible to counteract the tint from night mode on just the fingerprint sensor light.
I've found the same. A bit annoying. There should be an option in night maybe to disable fingerprint when night mode is on

Color profiles and night mode

Hey guys,
so far I’m really happy with my new 6T. But I’ve found one bug which I’d like to see fixed.
I like to use either the sRGB or the DCI-P3 color profile as the standard color profile is just too saturated and contrasty for my liking. And at night, I’d like to use the display night mode, to reduce blue light. Unfortunately, if the screen is off and I wake up the phone, (doesn’t matter if it’s via face unlock or screen unlock) the screen changes itself to Standard color profile and you can slowly see the night mode take effect – but on top of the standard color profile which is, as mentioned above, not my cup of tea. It happens with both sRGB and DCI-P3 profiles and night mode enabled.
Only if you then turn night mode off again, you can literally see the colors jump back to your original set profile. Which obviously cannot and should not be the intended way night mode works, as night mode also reduces contrast and saturation. This can be seen if you have set the color profile to Standard in the first place and then turn on night mode, which basically shifts the colors to sRGB. Curiously enough, if you then lock the phone and wake it up, everything is as it should be and as I'd like it to be when sRGB is the set profile, meaning the color profile stays sRGB like and night mode is in effect.
I’m running completely stock Oxygen OS 9.0.5., no root, didn’t unlock bootloader or anything.
Does anyone else experience this behavior? Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
I've been trying to find an answer to this issue since I got the phone. It is appalling that both ambient display and the lock screen are not affected by night mode. It is completely counteractive to how night mode should work.
And I have no idea why they disable color profiles when in night mode. In the settings menu, once you enable night mode, the screen calibration option is greyed out. But it is clearly not a technical limitation because enabling sRGB and then night mode produces the proper effect of a night-shifted sRGB color space. Waking the phone at night turns night mode off on the lock screen, and puts it in standard profile, then shifts to night-shifted standard profile after unlocking. I hate it.
If you come across an answer, please post it back here so others (and I) can find it.
Also, small technical note: night mode does not affect saturation or contrast or color space, only color temperature. sRGB is an entirely different color space with different saturation and gamma curves.

Thanks for your reply. Glad I'm at least not the only one noticing this issue.
As to your last statement, I would've thought so too. But this does not seem to be the case here. If you set the color profile to standard and then turn on night mode, the color space gets changed to sRGB, at least from what I can see. It looks completely different than the falsely activated night shifted standard profile, and looks exactly like the night mode in top of the sRGB mode, so less saturation and contrast (gamma). I don't know if this is intentional but makes it all the more confusing, because it retains the combination of sRGB + night mode even after locking and unlocking.

Wow, you are exactly right. I never thought to try that method, but I agree with your assessment. In standard calibration, night mode also toggles sRGB on and off. This is not affected by lock.
In both sRGB and DCI-P3, toggling night mode does not change calibration, but waking from lock leaves it stuck in standard calibration until you toggle night mode again.
And in all scenarios, the lock screen is never in night mode. Also, the add fingerprint page disables night mode and sticks you back into standard calibration with night mode, no matter which calibration you had selected. So the add fingerprint page acts exactly like the lock screen. This leads me to believe that the fingerprint sensor needs a very specific color of light to operate. But that doesn't excuse the fact that calibration keeps switching and getting stuck. I would think they can override that though.
I just made a post about this on reddit. Maybe up vote it to help increase visibility as this is the first mention I've seen about this issue other than this reddit post.

The whole night mode issues and ambient display going max brightness are super frustrating. This is my first non Nexus/pixel since the oneplus 1, and these small issues are making me question if leaving for a less stable manufacturer was a good idea
After doing some more testing, I've determined this whole ordeal is tied to the fingerprint sensor. Deleting all my fingerprints (disabling it entirely) has resolved all the issues of switching calibrations an night mode toggling. Everything works as it should, except ambient display never is night mode. But the lock screen is in night mode.
I'm personally ok with this for now. Face unlock is very quick, and smart lock keeps my phone unlocked at home at night. Hopefully this gets fixed for real in a future update.

Exactly what i discover. Night mode not works when fingerprint senor is active which means on screen lock and app lock.Don't know weather they do it intentionally(to work fp sensor fine) on not but this is seriously irritating and painful to eyes.

Adaptive Brightness not adjusting sufficiently to bright light.

I've noticed that when I pull out the phone in bright sunlight the display is washed out and mostly not visible able. I do run night mode 24/7 and dark black backgrounds all the time but adjusting the brightness manually immediately makes everything easily visible. Is this something that others have noticed?

Personally thunk uses more battery life
