Okay, so as the title says, the screen on my VZW GS4 seems to be changing the hue depending on what colors are being shown on different parts of the screen. For example, when I get a text and the little green icon pops up in my notification bar, the whites on the screen darken, and as soon as the icon is gone, they go back to normal.
The same thing happens in the youtube app. When playing full screen videos colors get lighter (and more unrealistic) and then when I click on the screen and the pause button and other menu buttons shows up, the colors darken and become more realistic.
I've turned Adapt Display off and this happens whether it in Dynamic, Standard, or any other of the display modes. This strange behavior is very familiar when the phone is set to the lowest brightness.
Anyone know why this might be happening or know a possible solution?
Menu | Settings | Display | Auto Adjust Screen
Tones
Just tried that and it still seems to be doing it. It'd quite annoying especially when in apps with dark backgrounds or night themes. Anyone have any other suggestions?
Is there a way to adjust the color temperature of the screen to a more natural white? I have tried the few screen modes in the settings but the Cinema one is still not very natural to me.
Is there an xposed framework mod or Rom that can do this?
Thanks.
I'm looking for it too. Tried some screen adjusters apps but the result wasn't really good as they just apply a filter layer above. I was used to my Note 2 color temperature wich is pretty higher than the 6500k reference resulting in a colder white. The Note 4 display in fact is more acurate, but I found it too warm for me. Whites seem a little pink to my taste. Wish I could raise the value, but I guess we must wait for a custom kernel with this capability.
One quick tip that might help.
Go into accessibility visual settings. Do the thing with the color adjustment and intentionally get them wrong. then move the slider almost all the way to the left.
You will no longer get to modify the adapt dispaly photo mode settings... but it will give a color temp somewhere in between.
you can alwyas set a triple click to shortcut to accessibility to disable it.
Oh thanks! Still not perfect but quite better this way. And without need of dirty kernel tricks.
I think the note 4 screen is too warm.
Is there any solution to make it cooler?

Just compare it to screen of Note 3, and you will not want it anymore :cyclops: It is much more warmer!
Hi All !
I'm from India and I just got my new Galaxy S8 in Midnight Black variant. I basically have 2 queries :
1. Is there any way by which you can customize the colors of the edge panel lighting?
Like for example: In the S7 Edge, you could assign colors to specific contacts and application notifications. I cant seem to find the same for this phone.
2. Is there any way by which we can customize the notification LED to specific colors ? Like for example you can assign a specific color to a specific application or contact ?
I really cant find these 2 things. I'd be disappointed if there aren't any options to edit these. My LG G3 had the option for the Notification LED and the older S7 Edge and Note series also had it.
Can anyone throw some more light onto this matter?
Thanks !
Hi,
Not sure I can answer point 1 but point 2, you definitely can with the use of an app, I use Light Flow, there is a paid/pro version but I basically have it set up to flash different colours for different apps, green for Whatsapp, Blue for Facebook, and even have certain colours based on specific contacts so at a quick glance you can determine who sent you what, it's great for sure

That's exactly what I'm looking for. It sucks that a flagship phone does not have some of the most useful features that the earlier ones had. I hope someone can answer for the edge lighting as well.
Edge Lighting notifications and colors are dependent on your theme and wallpaper color. It is likely that Samsung will probably roll out an update at some point on the Edge Screen APK (bundled with edge notifications) to have some more customization. Something I would like to see would at the very least have the edge lighting and the new pill-style notifications pull the color from the app icon/logo colors.

Since last update you can customize color of edge lightning..but still not the led light.
I am the developer of Light Manager. It is an app to configure notification LED color and its flashing frequency for different notification types.
For more info, you may go to the link below:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koo.lightmanager
Since Samsung Galaxy S8 onwards, I did not test this app with a real Samsung device. Most of the time I fixed the device-dependent issues according to the feedback from Samsung users. I know this is not a good way and it is not easy to fix a device-dependent issues without a real Samsung device. So I decided to get a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 to clear up some issues that piled up since then.
I have roughly tested the basic functionalities of Light Manager app on Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and most of them are working fine.
I will keep testing and fixing the old Samsung issues. If you have found any new issues, you may report here as well.
Thank you.

Voicemail is using the same LED setting as "Missed Call" LED.
See if it works?

You can somehow generate a black color LED while low battery.
Just go into Light Manager > Low Battery and select "Custom color", then set the hex color code to 000000.
See if it works?
I am testing your app. I will keep you updated with errors if there are any. I will put a update in a few days.

oh then ok it works. thx
I have been using the pro version for a long time
on my Samsungs, lgs, note 8 and now with my note 9.
the app works very good.
once in a while I have to restart the app from within the app to make everything work again. that's because sometimes it stops showing the right led color or it works during "sleeping time".
Any way, I find it the best app for me.
I AM JUST WONDERING what is the difference between the app I have (light manager pro v 12.3.5) and the one You show on the top?

Are you using normal mode or alternating mode?
Light Manager Pro has no advertisement. While the one shown on the top is a free version with advertisement.
I am using normal mode.
it's good enough for me.
What is the difference in the different modes? When I changed modes, trying to get alternating notifications, I lost the ability to get notifications on my Gear 2Pro. I went back to "normal" mode & it works fine but I don't see that I have alternating notifications. Now that my watch provides notifications, I don't use the LED the way I used to, if @ all really. But it's nice to be able to glance at it & know what app is alerting me.
Good app.
Will likely buy the Pro version! But do wish there was more explanation about the various modes & options
Nice app been using it for years have it on my S9 Plus and on my Note9 as well i use the pro bought it few years back @mckoo:good::good:

There are three operating modes:
1) Normal Mode - Only one LED notification color will be flashing
2) Alternating Mode - A few LED colors will be flashing alternately when multiple notifications are received
3) Screen Mode - Notifications alert will be shown on screen (For those devices without a physical notification LED, only available for Android 4.3 and above)
You are using Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and alternating mode is not working for you?

I honestly don't know if I was using alternating or screen. I'll pay closer attn & get back to you with that.
Thanks for reply!
@mckoo, shouldn't the app start automatically after boot up? I always have to start it w/ my Note 9 (and also with my Note 4). How do I have it startup automatically? Thanks for a great app.

There's a start on boot selector in the settings. Works for me on my N9

Yes, it should start up automatically if you have enabled Light Manager > Advanced Settings > Start On Boot.
Are you using any task killer, battery saving app, cache clearing app or antivirus?

Yes, I've always had it 'Start on Boot' since w/ my N4. I'm not aware of it running any task killer/battery saving app, as it's still running stock.
Update: I tried restarting just now, the LM icon now shows up in notification window after some time. Might just have been some delay earlier. Thanks.
Hi ,
I have noticed a problem in blue light filter in apps available in market.
They ask for permission for drawing over apps. And the effect they produce is not similar to reducing blue color but putting a yellow/brownish layer, which makes black look brownish. When compared to the bluelight filter option given in the ROM itself , there is noticeable difference. The color doesnot look washed out. Black is still black. And the sharpness is maintained. Only thing is it lowers blue light emission from screen.
I have Samsung Galaxy Note 4 with Marshmallow and it doesnot have inbuilt bluelight filter. I want to stay with same ROM but am ready to root device if some application can actually modify contrast. I have heard that screen resolution can be modified with adb so i am ready to experiment color correction through that as well.
Hoping for a early reply,
Thanks
Ankit
