Voodoo Color & Voodoo Lagfix

Well this is weird. When I look straight, it seems to be able to produce a good white using screen test. From an angle I can see the blue tint. Max brightness.

The blue tint at an angle is normal, this is an artifact of the anti-glare.

The blue tint we are referring to in this thread and many other threads is not the anti-glare blue you see at an angle, but the blue tint you see when looking dead on straight.
 
Wait...that means I don't have the blue tint problem? Because I can see it on low brightness and white background.

In any case...your issue is far worse than mines. Worst I've ever seen.

so strange, why is your lcd monitor so blue. hmmm lol, your lcd looks blue with or without your vibrant next to it, have you calibrated your lcd to over display blue? try a different monitor.

you think I should exchange my phone? Ughhh I hate doing exchanges.
 
Thanks for this link SV. Another great info post. Now, i dont se as link to get the color fix so it must not be finished yet. I would be more interested in that than the lag fix. I dont have a big problem with it but it does happen sometimes. Ill wait for 2.2 to hopefully fix that though.

Yes you should exchange it. At least try once, definitely something is not right with your phone and who knows how long it will take voodoo to release the color fix and what if it doesn't even fix your problem? Exchange it, I doubt you will get another Vibrant that is the same or worse then the one you currently have.

Ghost is the guy always saying nothing is wrong with his phone and after seeing that screen he posted, I have to believe him. He seriously has the best Vibrant in his possession haha. My phone definitely doesn't give me those true whites but it really isn't a big deal to me I can't notice a difference unless I'm comparing it to something up close.

ya i think you guys are right, I've tried to force my eyes to adjust to the blue tint, it's just not happening. Annoys me more than anything. I think I will prolly exchange it after all, I'll kick my self in the ass though if I get one the the super amoleds with brown tint. Damn it quality control samsung.

Samsung Galaxy D - Voodoo LagFix (problem solved even color display)
Of Riccz (of 24/09/2010 @ 12:58:20, in Mobile, linked 51 times)
I found the time to try the most promising of lagfix available today for Galaxy S: Voodoo. I discovered that the same module lagfix was also added a module that corrects the color of the phone display. I noticed with some chagrin that the colors of the Galaxy were a bit "cold" tending to blue, in the following photo I had attached to the milestone, the difference is very noticeable:

galaxys_display.jpg


with module Color Voodoo things are greatly improved and colors appear more natural and white is white. The lagfix also very convincing, a few days will update this post with my impressions based on a few more hours of use.
Meanwhile, I say that the benchmark Quadrant totals 1750 points, a little less than it did with OneClick LagFix of Ryanza (2100), but it should solve the occasional hard spots that appeared with this solution.

In that picture it doesn't look like he put the brightness up on the galaxy s.

Anyways, let me ask you something Sammy, when you start your phone up and then first screen comes up that says Vibrant (literally the first thing you see when you start your phone up) do the words have the blue tint?

Hey there. Well when I start the phone up, and when I see the white Vibrant logo, it is very hard for me to tell if the blue tint appears there, since it disappears so fast. The white vibrant logo however is definitely not warm or rich, it is somewhat gray.

My blue tint is unique in that it is blue-gray. Very similar to that link you translated for me, thats why I think that photo on that link is actually a good representation of some of the tint problems, for some people it's both blue and gray like that, almost looks like the screen is set to dim, but it is actually not. For example when I open the browser, it automatically gets dim, even if I set the browser brightness settings to max, it gets dim anyway and everything takes on a blue-gray cast. Same thing with Gmail, everything takes on a gray cast. It is strange, I guess you have to use my phone in person to see what I'm talking about.

I've litteraly gone back and forth on this blue/gray issue. I saw a vibrant and epic once, oh my god, they had the worst brown tint. Everything that should have been white looked like a dirty sock dragged through the mud. I was soooo happy my phone was not like that, in those cases I love my blue tint. In the case of the Epic, the sprint store had two on display, right next to each-other, one was dirty sock brown, the other was bright white, I want my phone like the bright rich warm white.

Are you thinking it is a software issue? I mean, I hope so. The only thing that throws me for a loop is why 5 different vibrants next to each other all display different tints if they are running the same kernel.

Here is a photo I pulled off xda forums
this person has been exchanging their vibrant and got unlucky with weird tint problems each time.
How can phones running the same kernel have such differences in tint, it must be the hardware, don't you think?
Wish I could talk to the developer of Voodoo color, to get his insight, he seems to believe it's the kernel, but why would 2 vibrants be running different kernels?

I wonder if all this tint business has simply to do with "natural" variations in the AMOLED displays? I mean, it's still relatively new technology. I doubt Samsung takes the time to calibrate every AMOLED it produces.
 
That's what I'm thinking too -- that it is a calibration issue, but the brown tint to blue tint threw me off. That's way too extreme.

I may be wrong, but I can't imagine Samsung making these screens individually 1 by 1, I would assume these are made in large sheets then laser cut. You would assume they could do a quality assurance check on each large sheet, to assure the white balance is the same. Then they could throw out the sheets with blue tints.

Could be too expensive to be throwing out sheets, if that's how they're manufactured.

It would be our problem in that the displays would be more expensive to manufacture, and that cost would be passed on to the consumer. Could make a $500 a $550 phone.

na I don't think so, if they have to throw away that many bad units, then they better come up with better manufacturing. Every company does quality assurance checks, cpu's, hard disks, etc. You may argue the screen still functions, but technically if the color balance is soo far off, and your main selling point is your brand new screen technology, then it does take away from the user experience. Same with big screen tv's, they go threw quality assurance checks and bad ones are thrown out. It's a part of the game, you wanna produce a product, you produce it correctly, you do QC and throw out the bad ones. I shouldn't have to pay more as a consumer to get consistency in your product. If the technology is sooo new that you can't produce consistency, again not my problem, you should revamp your manufacturing plants.

Just as a comparison, the iPhone Retina display goes threw vigorous quality control checks, I saw an official apple video somewhere on you youtube that was talking about the strict quality control on those screens, bad ones are never tolerated. Yet the iPhone is still 199.99. Go into any Apple store, they litterly have a line of iPhones next to eachother, every single screen looks identical, with no bad pixels or anything.

Anyways I decided I'm exchanging my phone.

How long have you had the phone? You can still exchange it at this point?
