Screen whites not bright?? - Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers

My pixel 4xl whites seem kinda of dull if that makes sense. My redmagic 3 screen really pops compared to my xl. I have adjusted the display settings, and it just seems...well dull.

It's one of two things:
1. The screen is only around 430 nits in brightness so whites might not seem that bright.
2. The screen is rated a white balance 6600 kelvin which is close to the 6500 standard. Many screens run cooler as seen in the screenshot.

Wtf? 430 nits? Why so low?

It's definitely software limited because if you're rooted, you can enable a high brightness mode that's 610 nits. It's most likely capped at 430 because of obvious battery limitations.

[Q]Fixing color balance for JB-based ROMs

Hi guys,
I used three JB-based ROMs for IncS (CyanVivo X, Codename Android and JellyBean Evolution), and so far all of them shared the same feature: the screen tint was noticeable yellowish. I'm not a designer and I can't say whether it's a result of low red or surplus yellow, but it is difficult for me to read from the yellowish screen, while I read a lot.
I don't want to go back to 4.0, thus, I have a question: is there a way to somehow adjust the color balance? I tried the following ways:
- screen overlay apps, like Screen Adjuster -- yellow tint is recompensed, but the black color fades out and becomes brown or violet;
- calibration tool from this thread -- the app didn't even get installed.
Can anyone suggest a working color temperature calibration tool?
Maybe it is possible to repack the ROM itself to change the default color balance?
Or is there a custom kernel with color management feature?
Thanks in advance!
I'm on CyanVivo X now, and I'm not noticing any tint. Sure it's not your screen?
It's your screen. Otherwise every man and his dog would be complaining.

Dogs do not see the vast amount of 'colours' that we humans do. They probably won't be able to tell the difference between a HTC One X and a iPhone 2g
The dog probably wouldn't be complaining. Only the man.
Just sayin
Anyway I just flashed CM10 today and I don't have a problem with colors

i guess it's your display. i don't have any issues with any roms.
using CyanVivo X, no such issue . check ur screen with other roms
None of ICS-based ROMs has this issue. Virtuous Vivo, Blackout, Android Revolution, Bliss, stock - all ok.
I'm not sure that I know the true reason, but as HTC hasn't released 4.1 update for IncS, all JB ROMs now are ports from different devices with probably different screen. I guess that color balance can really vary between different phones to obtain nearly similar picture on the screens of different generations.

Can someone take a low light test shot please?

Considering getting N5 for the wife. One of the main reasons she uses a smart phone is the camera. My S4 takes HORRID low light shots. They are more noisy than girls when Justin Beiber shows up at a middle school.
http://patentlystupid.com/sw/2013-10-05%2014.40.31.jpg is a good example, as you can see the subject is darker than the background the phone was stabilized on the arm of my chair I was sitting in and there has been nothing else changed about the pic. How does the N5 do in low light situations?
Thanks!

Under my desk at work before sunrise. Too dark to read under there.
Edit: I tried to take a comparison shot with my Nexus 4, but it was mostly blotches of black.
Took this one last night after sunset. Hdr+ was turned on. Honesty I think the camera is quite good for low light still photos. Much better than my note 2.

So far its looking like low light is as noisy as S4. I was hoping with the lower res camera there would be other camera improvements. Hmm...
Best low light camera I am blown away

Isn't there already a photo thread which already has low light pics?

Display Scaling Possible?

On my S7, I was able to change the display resolution and fit more on the screen. N8 has that built into the OS but everything is too large even in the smallest setting. Is there a way to reduce the display further with Nova launcher or something?
Have you tried changing the DPI setting under minimum width in the developer options menu
No, what would you change it to so it doesn't screw things up?
Keyboard and icons don't scale well when doing it. So annoying.

I run at 550 the only thing I have noticed is setting up the phone you have to keep your dpi low.
Edit : I am an idiot running that on S8 I was lurking Note 8 forums not the S8 forums my bad.

I know I should not be in here I can feel my wallet getting lighter.
I run 625, 600 is where the browser switches to tablet format. Nova makes dealing with icons very easy. I set them at 125% and scaled the icon font up. You can then adjust the icon grids to a more natural layout.
Queston. The device model works well but defaults to its values when you toggle resolution.
Is there an app that can resolve this?

Anyone having issues with Adaptive Brightness?

I've always loved this feature as it usually is spot on with my habits with my P3XL, but unfortunately with the P4XL it's nothing short of terrible.
At night it will crank up my brightness to 80-100 percent, and it broad daylight it will lower it to 0. Both of which quite frankly piss me off. Either I get blinded in the dark or I can't so much as see what's on my screen.
Anyone else?

No problems here. You can try reseting it by clearing the data under Device Health Services. Go to clear storage and you'll see the following. I "calibrate" this way and set my brightness to 0% in a pitch black room.

If you're used to the cooler temperatures of Samsung displays, then yes it can appear warm/yellow. It's been rated at 6610k white balance while Samsung's S10 is 7102k in vivid.

Yeah, I use it. I think it mitigates the screen tint issue pretty perfectly and makes the display look a bit more professional/polished.
