Hello all, after getting my LG G4 yesterday I have noticed the screen on my unit exhibits a yellowish tint, especially whites look too yellow for my liking. Now, because of Boot-gate I don't want to root it this early just in case ( although I have a 607 serial number so chances of that happening are significantly smaller.)
So I researched some fixes, tested some apps and came to the conclusion that https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.uk.quickdoc.screenbalance app is the best solution if you are not rooted.
Because, unlike all other apps, it is not an overlay but rather uses the built-in accessibility service baked into android, it is much more accurate, is system wide ( so yes, the virtual buttons as well!) and is more energy efficient.
Now the problem is that functionality is pretty limited if you are not on the pro version. By any means , use ''your way'' to get the app because I love to support devs but asking 3 euros is just too much for a very simple app. Please support the developer however because without him we would not have had this amazing solution
My settings are as follows: (Please note that the screenshots are not INDICATIVE of the real thing, in real life it is much less blue.)

Before and After
Feel free to post your configuration as this is still not perfect, I would love to see them and try them out to come to that perfectly calibrated white balance
Tips and tricks: Use the LG G4's feature to pin the app, this way the app will stay even when you clear all
... ( add suggestions I will add them)
Hello Xdekker I got same problem too. Thanks for ur conclusion. I have SN 607 too and bought from Europe. Maybe our G4 production in same batch.
Then I downloaded the app, pin and block the notification. Its look much better now. I hope LG update the system to add white control in the developer option just like Nexus 5X.
Sorry for my bad English...

Hello,
I've just got my replacement phone (the previous one had mechanical problems) and the display seems a bit strange with this new device.
There are visible banding effects in color gradients, (web pages, pictures) I know the Lcd has only 65K colors, but I don't remember those bands being so strong on my previous device.
Could you fellow G1 owners check this on your device please? I am in Hungary, Europe and I don't know any other G1 owners here (you know it's not available here, actually mine is an ADP1).
It's easy to check, the effect is very visible on http://www.google.com/news (Google international news mobile site) in the Android browser. It's slightly visible in the dark blue title bar, more in the light blue bar below and very strongly in the "Sections" bar far below.
Please check it and tell me what you have found...
Thanks,
Peter
I see the same issues with google/news. I think it has to do with google's site and/or the g1's browser. Here's a few high quality jpeg gradients Black-White, RainBow and Blue-Red. Unfortunately google compresses them and they look like junk online. So, here's a .zip of the three gradients your can download right to your phone and view with Astro, or extract to pc etc. They should look fairly smooth on the g1, better on pc tho..
use there gradients for w/e you choose.
Hello sonikamd,
Thanks for your help! Interestingly your test pictures look better (smoother) in the standard picture viewer app than in Astro's viewer. Can you confirm that?
Also how old is your device? It looks like that mine (the replacement device) is very old, it's serial number is lower than what I have sent back (purchased in december).
Thanks,
Peter
Just one last quick question: on the incoming call screen there are strange lines appear, do anyone see those on the G1 or it is just me?
Click on the picture to see what I mean.

No, I am not crazy - I am a graphics artist and really sensitive to things like that.
Thanks,

nope... [filling characters]
Hi lilithpro,
Thanks for the image, however you won't see the effect on a screencapture (like you attached). I made the pic in Photoshop (from a captured emulator screen) to show the effect - I exaggerated the effect in the pic a little.
You should check your device's lcd during an incoming call to see it. I think it is something to do with the lcd panel. Today I managed to check an other G1 and it showed that effect, too.
So it seems it is not my ADP1's problem.
I'm talking about this:

I don't understand why Samsung devices have systematically seen this option removed on US carrier models since the S4 or even earlier. It doesn't make any sense. Especially given the dim screens of previous Samsung products, "Auto +1, +2, or +3" makes tremendous sense for those keeping them on Auto all the time. My HTC One was literally twice as bright as my S4 when both set to Auto and that noticeably negatively impacted my everyday viewing experience.
I propose we make this issue known to US carriers. If enough of us complain, we CAN get this added back in. I talked to both Sprint and Samsung yesterday. Samsung said it was a carrier choice. The Sprint CS rep agreed with me that this should be in, and forwarded my issue to the tech team, who are now hopefully aware of this. I haven't gotten around to calling them yet but I will. Any reasonable explanation for why this was removed?
Its a guess but i do know that screen brightness is the biggest battery hog culprit.. it could be that on a quest to obtain better battery life that the scale was changed.. just a guess....
If you are rooted, there is a way to enable it. Go to /system/etc and look for "floating_feature.xml" open it with a text editor and scroll down until you see the "auto brightness detail" change from false to true, save, and reboot. The +1 +2 detail settings will be under the display settings, not the notification brightness adjustor.
Install the LUX app
Another vote for lux app.. Far easier than convincing the carriers

It does not seem to work properly on note 4. It adjusts brightness only when you open the app.

Is this a stage fright patch? Or a lollipop update? I rather stay on kitkat since lollipop was a mess. I use it as a wifi device and its never been connected to Boost.
Here's the end result
The update hangs quite a bit around 77%-90% (phase 1) then it goes into phase 2 and finishes the update.
strange I can't find info about this patch ..
are you seen something new after update?

me neither. if you can tell by the timestamps on my screenshots i was looking all over the place. it is snappier but that could be a placebo. also, i don't know about call quality or mobile data since i basically use it as an iPod.

I search in sharp and sprint webpages but there still show s4081 as last update.. for now I will not update my phone bcs I don't want to waste my chances to unlock bootloader or root if some one find a way...
Maybe???
I just got it too my phone won't install it cause me battery is to low but, I'm pretty sure its a patch to fix the multimedia message problems . too small of a file to be lollipop .or maybe it's a straight to SD patch idk probably one of the two..lol.
Just updated. Touch feels more responsive but it usually does after an update. Here's to hoping it doesn't crap out again.
Compared to the last build it has a new kernel. So far the only thing I've noticed, is that instagram doesn't auto play video with sound, (finally!) like it should. Before it would blast the speakers whether you tapped on the video to turn off/on sound.
It fixed my MMS problems.
I've updated my device to Android Oreo (AOSP Extended) and immediately noticed the new "design choices", which led to the following problem:

That's how it looks like, when I'm trying to download an app using Google Playstore. The progress bar, the name of the app (which is showing the notification) and its icon are completely missing, is there any way to fix this?! Unfortunately I didn't find any way to change the background colour - it would be even better to get rid of the new "everything is white" design, but I would be already happy, if I could at least read my notifcations ^^
I have already spent way too much time searching for a solution, but I didn't find anything (except installing Subtratum Theme Engine, which seems to be a bit unreasonable for just changing the background colour), so you're my last hope

You don't like the new design? It's called Ultra Minimalistic Material. Deal with it, it'll grow on you soon. Besides you should know what's in the notification by now...
jokes aside, just use AEX 5.6. It worked flawlessly. You can also change color on both the rom you have and 5.6, just go to Settings - Display - more
Hello dear friends, im new on forum so hello to everyone!
As in the title, I would like to change the interface of the device and use another (for example car launcher) The problem is that this device is divided into 3 separate screens (I put a picture in the post) But the left screen is completely unchanged, when I run Car Launcher it appears only on the middle and right screen, the left screen remains the same. Junsun Customer Service obviously can't help me (who would expect that ) and this interface overlay from them works just very poorly (Resets date, time, settings). Is there any way to modify the device? I saw one thread on forums where user wrote about rooting this device, so I think it could be modified somehow. I'm counting on you fam!

Hello, could you finally modify this interface?
Another question. Is the G-sensor accesible for other apps such an inclinometer? I.e. if I install an inclinometer app or an app to measure lateral-G, would they work?
Thank you in advance and happy new year!
