[Q] OLED Display - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys!
Nice, the first post in the section!
So, what do you think, will the S3 Mini have a SAMOLED Pentile layout or some other matrix layout?
Can't wait to hear your input!
Michael

lol I was gonna ask the same thing! I have a Fascinate, and it has pentile SAMOLED 800x480
I used a HTC Incredible [with LCD 800x480], and couldn't believe how good the display was.
I'm reeeeeeealy hoping Samsung will make it a SAMOLED+ display with RGB stripe, but unfortunately I doubt it's gonna happen :crying:
I guess time will tell.

What is the screen size supposed to be?

4 inches

Yeah, 4" 800x480, supposedly the same as the Fascinate, but I hope that it's not true, because I have a Fascinate and without a screen upgrade it'd be hard to justify the purchase of it unless I can find it for cheap on Craigslist. ;P

I looked into it as the LTE was very tempting, however, the processor was a deal breaker for me. I'll wait until AT&T has a Samsung phone with an Exynos processor and LTE. Good Luck and enjoy your note. Its still a good phone.
Nevermind...

Had the Streak 5, good phone but I sold it to buy SGS2. I would not trade my SGS2 for a Streak even though I miss the 5" screen.
Buddy of mine just got a note and although the screen is amazing, my SGS2 just feels more speedy. I would trade for a note, but they would need $50 extra to convince me.

Its just most of us are here cause we like our phones, if you go to the note they will tell you they love the phone.
If you go to another section its going to be the same thing for the most part.
Go to the store, play with it for a good amount of time and see if you like it.
Personally I thought it was too big for me.
You can always try it out and see if you like it. I still think its a little too big but that's me. Everyone's opinions will be subjective. If your going for the international version that will be a different story. The AT&T version might not have as much support.

Isn't their return policy 30 days with a $35 restocking fee? If your willing to eat that, than yes, I'd definitely at least try it out. Other than LTE and a huge display I don't really see what this phone offers over the OG Galaxy SII? The screen isn't Super AMOLED Plus, its got that pentile display which isn't as nice. But you never know until you try it. Hang onto your GSII just in case.

It is. Super AMOLED only I believe. But they changed it because it offers a higher resolution, like the Galaxy Nexus.

Playing with my buddy's skyrocket I noticed a lag throughout the home screens. It wasn't bad by any means but it kind of felt like it couldn't keep up. The OG SII had no problem. Games will also perform better on the exynos processor as well.
For some its not a deal breaker. You be the judge.

Then you should be fine. Are you upgrading to the Note or buying it off contract? If so, I would't get it from AT&T, as you'll pay an arm and a leg.

i think this is a matter of what you self prefer.
And the size of your hands. a 4.5" screen phone is very hard to hold right with one hand or if you have small hands. for daily use 3.7" is more than enough.
5,3".
Unless you have girly hands of course

Should be "> 4.5"" not "< 4.5".
Anything between 4" to 4.5". Anything bigger can not be operated with a single hand (ideally a phone should be usable with one hand), anything smaller is problematice for people with fat fingers..

Just repeat 3 times.
Nexus 7 is only $200. Nexus 7 is only $200. Nexus 7 is only $200.
Now repeat this 1 time.
The gtab 7.7 was $429 on a 2 year contract and $699 with no contract when it was released.
Would I pay over $400 for a Nexus 7? No I wouldn't. Would I pay $200 given that the screen is not equal to the gtab 7.7 or iPad 3? Yes I would.
nexus 7 is quad core!
Galaxy tab 7.7 has a superamoled screen. What did you expect. Thaw also why its over 600 dollars without a contract.

You guys are right no doubt. I love them both but a slight skew to the gtab

Super LCD > AMOLED, IMO.
My 52" Plasma TV has a bigger screen...
WTF Google???
That's it, I'm returning it!!!
WTF? Did you think the regular lcd of the 200 DOLLAR Nexus 7 would outclass your Super AMOLED Galaxy Tab 7.7? Have fun with your N7
Screen on the gtab 7.7 is a Super AMOLED + too. It's non- pentile.

Sure, but the N7 most definitely does not have a Super LCD so the point is rather moot.

Just for the record, The knife in this picture has a grey titanium handle. Clearly this phone is not titanium grey. I do also realize that the colors in this photo are severely messed up. That what you get when you take a picture with an htc rezound.

Getting the black one for the Titanium Grey. Showed my boss who has a white marble one and he'll get the matching white case.
@john, I am sure the color names are just for marketing purposes. Titanium Grey sounds so much better than say, Plain Grey or Pencil Lead Grey.

No offense but who cares? Way I see it. ..The company getting a free press and advertisement to create more hype. If I was the ceo of the company, I would leak it right before the launch, so the public knows to save their money towards my product.
Anyways, I like the black one too. But the white looks good too. Damn it!

[Q] Kernel with color support?

I came from the GNex to the ONE and was wondering if any kernels are supporting the gamma/RGB color changes that were possible with that phone. Or is this something that is not possible due to the screens not being the same.
This isn't a kernel mod
Because the led that htc use is only green/red
How is it possible to have only 2 colors? You need all 3 for it to work correctly. Primary colors.
I like the screen now but miss being able to change it whenever I felt the need.

Unfortunately there is no choice to oversaturate the colors on the display. If that's what you need, consider getting a phone with AMOLED display.

Dude, whether or not you believe that there's no replacement for AMOLED (and I do agree with that statement) has no bearing on whether or not someone chooses to mess with screen color. I love the screen of my HTC One however, I wouldn't mind tweaking it a little to match my custom colors that I've implemented on my N4. Just saying...

Well if you read what I wrote, you'd see I HAD an amoled display. I don't now which is why I asked the question if this was possible on the ONE. If a kernel dev adds it in their kernel, then there will be a choice. And with Android, there is always a choice.
Thanks for the replies guys. I'll ask the kernel devs if they have plans to try it out.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
I hope a kernel comes out for this. One thing I noticed is that my screen is a tad too warm. That's all I want to change. Make it a bit cooler to get a more neutral color temperature. Wouldn't want to touch. Saturation though. Love the colors for this screen.

We need HTC to release the kernel sources first.
