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.

I would have thought with a bigger and better resolution display than the I-Phone the icon buttons on the Programs window would have been brighter and clearer. For instance I find it hard to distinguish between Notes and Tasks; Goggle Maps and Calculator.
Which is why I would like to ask why each icon is set in a black background on each button; and then in turn the buttions are on a black screen background.
Does anyone know of a way so that the coloured icon fills the whole button? Or maybe specs are the way forward?
weird, i dont have problems like that. Have you tried using glasses?
Just realised when I looked closely at the white background of the email hub, the white icons on the main menu tiles have burnt faded-yellow outlines into the screen, most likely because I had the screen setting set as "always on".
Can I fix this by placing the phone on a plain black screen for a good while? Or even switching it off?
Cheers
I didnt think the omnia 7 had a always on setting? I had a screen burn problem too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=973337
Thanks for the link to your thread comera. Your screen burn-in was crazy big! Mine is just a few white bits from the main screen icons. They are only visible on a completely white screen and since I use the dark theme it doesn't really matter. They are very, very slight anyway.
The screen off "never" option is a registry edit. It has proved useful on occasion but I made a mistake one night and forgot to switch off the option and also the screen. Ah well.
If anyone wants to enable the option then here is the code but please be careful with it.
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Lock] "DisableNever"=dword:0
My Brother-in-Law asked me the following.. Can someone assist in answering this question..
On iOS, I use two accessibility features extensively: Zoom and color inversion
By making some Accessibility selection, I enable these two fingers.
With a three-finger double-tap, I can zoom the screen. The entire screen image is zoomed. I can then adjust the magnification level at any time Also, I can scroll around the screen to see the parts that are now offscreen since we’re zoomed. I use this al the time since I can’t easily see small print on the tablet.
Next, if I triple-click the Home button, it inverts all the colors on the screen – this helps me because sometimes I can’t make out dark text on a light background very well. The inversion makes light text on dark background which is often easier to read.
OK, nice apple features.
ICS has font size adjustment, color inversion, and contrast.
Touch control, talking robot feedback, voice control, to name some.

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
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
