I have a custom image on my Always On Display screen but, despite being a simple black and white image, it is a lot dimmer than the rest of the items like the clock and notification icons. They seem a crisp white while the image is grey which loses some of the thinner lines in the picture.
Is there anyway to alter how it displays custom images?
To be clear, I'm not talking about overall brightness, I understand how that works with auto-dimming. I mean that the picture is greyed out and dim compared to the other, system, elements like time, date, etc.
Thanks

I'm not sure whether this is a problem with Android (doubt it), HTC Sense in general or the HTC Photos app..
But what I'm finding is that pictures with gradients (usually ones computer generated) have their gradients shown very bady and makes the picture look terrible. Instead of doing a smooth colour transition, it sort of does it in chunks..

As you can see here, isntead of fading smoothly from the red to black, it does those ugly layers. I first noticed it when I had this picture set as the lock screen picture because it does it there too. In bright light its almost impossible to tell, but in the dark it tooks terrible.
Sometimes when I look at the full picture in the Photo app it doesn't do the gradient so badly, but when I go to pinch zoom the slightest it instantly changes to look like that. (isnt just a problem with the one picture btw). I thought it might be something to do with the large picture being resized to fit the screen, but I resized the picture on a computer to be smaller than the screens dimensions and it does the same thing.
Another slight issue I picked up is that black areas in a wallpaper picture don't show as 'true black'. When I view the picture with the black background fullscreen in Photos, the black areas are true black (tested at night - true black of AMOLED screen). But when the picture is set as background, there is a noticeable difference between the blackness of the background and the 'true blackness' of the bottom of the notification bar...
Might be hard to see, but to show what I mean:

Does anyone have any explanation for these problems, and even better, fixes?
I've got HTC Legend unrooted
Cheers
Hi
I have recently installed LeeDroid 3.0.7, its mostly great.
The thing I have noticed the most which is a bit annoying are the changes to the notification panel, while I love the fact its now transparent it has this white lighting effect on it, starting from the top left gradually getting darker until it reaches the bottom right.
I understand these can be referred to as the lighting gradrient or spotlight effect.
Basically its too dark, I want to lightening it up.. make it brighter. So I can read all of the text when I have 3 or 4 notifications.
Thanks
you can change it yourself:

Hi,
Few days ago I purchased a new unlocked n910f from a nearby retail store and I noticed something strange with the display.
The issue is - vertical lines are visible if a gray image is displayed. This is visible at brightness levels above 50%.
Same can be seen if a white image is displayed (i.e. a white page in Chrome or in Settings) and the notification tray is pulled down so the visible content of the previous screen becomes dim. This problem is really annoying...
I've created an image with photoshop, 2560x1440 with a #2f2f2f Gray and opened it with Gallery.
The display settings are: Screen mode - Basic, Auto adjust screen tone - OFF, Brightness at 100%.
A screenshot doesn't show any vertical lines...

I've searched for this issue on the web and XDA, found about Mura effect, but nobody pointed out this issue on Note 4 and if this can be fixed. Is this issue present on Your device? Should I request a device replacement?
Thanks,

Greetings all,
I have a S7, and when I have a open white area, lets just go with messages, When I open up the message (text, stock) and compose a new message, I get the white screen however in the background I can see the home screen icon's very faint, with colors. I did a screen shot and when on the phone you can see the icon's, however when I move the screen shot to the PC I dont see any of the icon's, I was hoping to post the pic, but the pic is perfect. I dont know how to explain this, but it weird. I have done two factory wipe's, this is stock, I have not modified this phone. The carrier, (If needed) is T-Mobile. Any and all information will be greatly appreciated.
Ciao~

If you take a screenshot and it does not display the same as what you are seeing it means it is NOT software related unfortunately this is screen burn
thats what I figured, but its very bad, I have never had any of Samsung Phones every do this. If the display is burned, why would the icon's have color? I see only the background icons, when the screen is white. If it was burned should I see it on all the screens?

The screen burn burns in the colors a possible way to test this is change your background icons from what they were previously and see if the colours have changed on the screen where you can see the burn in..
Alternatively Get a screen test app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ua.dp.ustav.screentest should let you put solid colors on the screen) and set it for all white (there shouldn't be any other color showing) then for all black (there shouldn't be anything but black or a uniform very dark gray). If either one shows any sort of picture "ghost", the screen has burn-in.
Apparently it helps slightly if you set the screen mode to cinema. (Settings>Display>Screen Mode>Cinema)
Hope this helps
Does anyone else find the Always-on Display very dim? Is there any way to brighten this either via developer options or adb?
The clock itself doesn't bother me too much, it is mainly because the icons are coloured and not greyscale like they were on the previous huawei phone I had. If the icons were b&w then it wouldn't be too much of an issue. Having them coloured but very dim makes them difficult to see at a distance of more than 1ft.
