Edit - some developments suggest a flashing of firmware is possible. Anyone with advice/experience of flashing Samsung devices, please weigh in! See post 5
Given the rest of world seems quite, quite useless, I turn to B3D, and sadly the forum that gets least interest. Still, there are Hong Kong people on this board and experienced folk and maybe someone can help.
I bought a Galaxy Note Pro from Hong Kong that arrived yesterday. It's wonderful in every way except the rendition of yellow is off. It's dull and greenish, like a TV set to movie mode or something. This can either be because RGBW can't render yellow very well (some reports of this from Lenovo Yoga 2 using same screen) or because my device isn't set up right. According to the downloaded .pdf manual, there's a Screen Mode setting where I can choose from four colour options. This is my guess as to my issue. However, this setting is not on my tablet! Not as a factory reset, nor as the latest FW.
Is there any reason why the Hong Kong version of this tablet would miss a feature everyone else has? Is it possible this setting is only available in Chinese language and is hidden in English? Is RGBW just plain poop? Or have I gotten a defective unit that needs replacing?
Contributions much appreciated!
Edit: I you have a Note 10.1 2014 from Hong Kong, that'll help. It's bascially the same tablet. If the Hong Kong 10.1 2014 edition has Screen Mode setting, I see no reason my Note Pro shouldn't have.
