Screen mode for games

[Toss3]

Really irritated by the fact that my S7 switches screen mode for games and certain apps - does anyone know how to turn it off? I don't have game mode or game launcher enabled, yet it still changes for some reason. Hate anything but the basic screen mode.

I do not think you can without root access.

Wondering about this too. Was all excited to use my new phone, everything was going well until I started up some games and noticed all the colors were really saturated... Turned off Game Launcher, changed screen modes in settings, nothing works. When you go back to the home screen from the game you can see the screen tone visibly get lighter and then darker when you go back into the game.

It drives me nuts too, spent too much time in settings to figure it out, with no results... Let's hope it will be fixed soon : Samsung should let us choose the color profile during games.

So it's not just me lol

Same problem here, seriously wtf! The colors are way oversaturated and too much contrast. The game is very dark. It drives me completely nuts, why dont they simply draw the stuff on screen and be done with it? Nobody in the whole world ever needed Cinema mode or sh*#[email protected] like this!

The only way to turn this annoying so-called feature OFF is by installing package Disabler pro and check both 'game service' and 'gamepad service'. You can also disable the game launcher and tools. Hope this helps!

great find! looks like it also improved performance in some of the titles too.

however, some games still perform rather strange. Smash Hit, for example, has constantly changing frame rate. N4S No Limits seems to be running at the wrong resolution/less detailed compared to S6, etc.

probably need some optimization for SD820 but i doubt any of the older games will get any updates just for that.

That a problem with sammy 6.0.1, AB2 and tekken for me lags beyond what possible, after short amount of time. on mine Note 5 i observed the same thing in android 6.0.1, but NOT in lollipop all was perfect there...

Sammy updated Korean variant with new fixes, hopefully we get it soon enough,

Well I got rid of the adaptve saturated colors on the games I play and a big thank you! I was almost ready to exchange/return my Edge.

When I attempt to run Package Disabler Pro, it brings up a Knox terms page that it I have to agree to.. does that activate Knox? I don't want to activate it..

Can this package do anything for the auto brightness bug?

Very good question. I was wondering the same. Where can I see my Knox status btw?

Go to settings > smart manager > secure

It will say if knox is installed or give you the option to install it.

It does not activate knox. I'll post screens of my knox status after install down below.

My device's auto brightness works fine.

Yeah but when you have auto brightness off the screen still doesn't stay on maximum brightness. The s6 and s6 edge had this same issue and I see they carried it over onto the s7 edge lol... anyone have a non-rootable fix?

 

[Chilly64]

I'm on my 3rd edge phone now.I had 2 regular and 1 edge+
Was going to upgrade to s7 edge but it seems that they still have brightness issue when on manual?
It's such an annoying issue with all edge models.

 

[diosjeremy]

I really want to root once a secure way is out... will installing Knox be a problem with that on the future?
