LG G3 Has A Screen Mode - G3 General

So I'm looking in the hidden menu with the Quick Shortcut Maker app and searched screen mode and what do you know its there. Standard, Vivid, and Natural. I cant tell the difference when switching but its there. Just sharing info...:good:

Cant find this mode on secret menu..

Hmm maybe this has something to do with the difference in whites between screens (blue tint vs yellow tint)

It's not in the secret menu. You have to go through the app mentioned in the first post. At least that's how I found it. Hope this helps.

As soon as you open the app it says input keyword. Type screen mode and the tap done. Settings pops up tap it and then you will see settings Screen Mode tap it then tap on Try and it pops up.

I've tried changing it but I don't seem to see a difference. Although it could be me since I'm not very into detail. Can anyone tell which is the best setting?

It's probably a feature that wasn't finished and left in incomplete. That's probably why there isn't a difference and it's hidden. They have that accessibility thing for color that they might have gone with instead.

I search for this with shortcut app and there is no "screen mode" on hidden menu or any other app in my phone.if I search for screen and mode there are options but not this one.
Which version and model are you running?
Mine is V10j for D855.

It is present in the Verizon 985 version, but does not seem to do anything.

It's hidden in the settings when you search for screen mode under the activities. Press the down arrow and a list will show, find the screen mode. Mine is V10i, SEA version. From what I see, they're all the same.

If you use an alternative launcher as in Nova you can get to the ScreenMode without installing any other app.
Simply press & hold on Home Screen, select Shortcuts, then from the list select Activities and scroll down to Settings (on my G3 it says there are 364 different settings to choose). Finally scroll through the list until you get to ScreenMode, tap on it and it will create a shortcut icon on your Home screen.
Tap on the icon and it launches ScreenMode.
Note: I didn't notice any differences with the choices available.

Same here no difference i am on v10H.

Nice find man. But I don't notice anything?

10j no difference.

My guess would be that they would add it with an update in the future.
Would actually be cool if you can have the option to make things more vibrant (not to say i'm not satisfied with the screen, but sometimes change can be nice)

I sure hope so. I hope it's not the opposite, where they disabled it, but forgot to remove the code. I'd like a more vivid screen as well. I played with the color options in accessibility, but the results are... Ehh....

Browser Brightness

Everytime I open the browser it's dim. I open then menu and change it from "Level 3" to "default." However, the next time I open the browser, it's dim again. Somehow it resets itself to battery saver level 3. Does anyone else get this problem or know how to fix it?
Edit:
Nevermind, I fixed it. There's a Power Saving menu in the main phone settings that affects this. Turn off the Background Color option and you won't have this problem.
Feel free to delete my thread. Or leave it. w/e
When you say that you opened the menu, was that menu in the browser or in the actual phone settings? I'm asking because I can't seem to find the settings for just the browser itself. I'm probably just being stupid, but when I press the menu button while on a Web Page, I do not have the option to go into the browser settings.

You hit the phone's physical menu button while on a webpage and one of the options there is "Brightness and Colors." That's the menu that lets you select power saving levels 1 through 3 or deafult. I just wanted mine on default. It wouldn't stay on default until I turned the Background Color setting off in the Power Saving menu in the Phone's main settings.
Can you send me a screen shot? I did exactly what you did and I do not have that option in my browser. In fact, I'm not sure if this is just a problem with my phone or with all att S3's but I'm missing some settings options. For example, if I go into the display settings, I am unable to change the contrast like I have seen in reviews if the international version of the phone.
Do you have these problems too?

Scroll the menu that pops up in the browser, there are more settings...
Also look in your main settings under power saving. It messes with your browser brightness/color as well
Wow, I am a total idiot. And yeah, I see what you are saying.
Thanks.

[Q] Force list view in settings

In the device settings on the G2 you have the four tabs on top of the screen when you're in the settings page.
If you hit menu, you can change it to list view. However this resets back to tab view every time you close it, then you have to hit menu again, and change to list view.
Is there any ay to change to list view permanently, or force it?
This is something that would be perfect to mod with Xposed in my mind if there isn't a native function for this.

Oh what really? Crap I always thought that it would save your preference.
At least it does that on the G Pro...if this is true then I'll definitely have to get the Verizon G2. Can't stand the sight of those ugly Crapwiz tabs.
It could just be mine not saying it properly. It does feel like something that should save.

Seriously?! Haha! But you're on a D802?! So there must be a setting somewhere. Or do you have an Xposed module that could be responsible?

It's must be your phone. That option working perfectly fine for me on stock(before) and Rayglobe ROM(since yesterday)
I'm running stock ROM with Xposed Framework, CWM Recovery. I'm rooted.
Is it possible that some Xposed module is causing this?
I'm finding it has something to do with which launcher you use... stock saves it, nova, google experience, etc. doesn't... looking for a fix, but haven't found one.
Switch to list view in stock launcher and choose do not show again ok. Then switch to other launcher of your choice.

You can turn off hard keys. (sm-p600 mk1)

Sorry if this is old news but I seen a few people asking if you could disable these especially over at the clean Rom thread cause the developer included soft keys in the rom. Anyways again I'm sorry if this is old news but you go to accessibility/access control. It then walks you through a series of steps like if you want certain parts of the screen to not be affected by touch and so on. I thought this was pretty sweet. Not sure if it's for all models and firmware but worth a shot!

It's all the way at the very bottom of Accessibility. It is listed under Recognition. Turn it on. Then hold down the home button and and volume down to enter the wizard.
It should be helpful for when I do note taking at a meeting so I don't have to worry about touching the physical buttons. But for Button Savior Pro it disables the Home, Menu and Back so it's not something I can have on all the time. Plus the notification drawer cannot be interacted with anymore while this mode is on.

I can open the drawer just fine. You just can't touch any of the notifications after you open the drawer.

New Launcher Update is RUBBISH

The new Launcher update is a certified pain in the ass. Now you can't swipe down from any space on the homescreen to get to the Quick Settings menu. It goes to the new and totally unnecessary notification/Google/Search screen. Why the heck do I need that function when I already have it on my homescreen you Jackasses? This is a very large phone and now I have to reach (or use my other hand) all the way to the notification bar to get to Quick Settings. Worse still I can't roll back to the old version and can't disable this asinine feature. Dumb, dumb, dumb!
Hey calm down, you can change that behaviour on the launcher settings > home screen > swipe down gesture

Thanks for the info. I finally figured it out. Instead of giving us the option upfront the first thing that came up was the 5 star rating crap. To make matters worse the first trending search item was about the f*#king Kardashians!
Having them come up would p*ss me off too.

Just press for 1/2 seconds any empty part of the screen or just swipe up... then have the laucher settings options
Thanks.
Also, it seems that the search function from the apps screen now points to the new search window, which is again really annoying, as I am just interested in finding apps at that point. Any idea if this can be reverted somewhere?

Split screen option missing

Probably doing something dumb but can't find an obvious answer.
When I press the icon above the app in the Recents I only get the option to 'Open in pop-up view' no option to open in split screen.

Mine has the option for split screen. Have you tried other apps?
Tried all the usual suspects only get option to open in pop up window. Using force all apps setting in MultiStar makes no difference.

Thanks, that is exactly what I have done. The option is missing.
Press the button towards the bottom and it will asked you what apps to open in multi window...you pick the app and drag to the portion of the screen you want
It's because you are using the task changer in good lock. For some reason they removed the option when you change from the default task switcher.

Lucky you cause mines appears very differently. Heard a rumour it's down to your carrier, I'm with EE.
I'd upload a screen shot but I keep getting ad request. Pretty new to the forum etc so not sure if it has to be a particular file format or size.

Mine has not got carrier bloat it's generic UK.
I don't have the option for shutter sound either.
If using Good Lock like me then go to task manager window. Hold the icon of the app you want to split screen and you should get the screen as attached. Hopefully that works for you.

Thanks, that only gives you a pop up not a split. I've reported the missing feature to Samsung so fingers crossed it will be fixed soon.

Apps that can be split screened will show an option at the bottom or top of screen. Try splitting an app like chrome with YouTube. Different apps give different options. Some can't be split screened.

Understand.
In this case every app does not give the option.
For example:
You can use bxActions to map split screen to your bixby button.
Don't do it with the app that sits on top of the list. Go to another app, so that the app you want to split is shown second.
Now tap and hold this second app (the icon on the top or the whole app thumbnail, as both work) and it will give you the option to split.
Strange.
My split screen is working and I also have the option for shutter sound.
