Lightroom Android color shifting bug

I wonder who is quality testing Lightroom Android? The following issue has been there for a long time, and it is 100% reproducible on any Samsung Galaxy Phone (probably any other Android phone, but I have not tested). I attach a link to youtube video with screencast of my Galaxy Note 8 illustrating this issue.

The pictures have different color (saturation, etc) depending on if you view them in "rate and review" mode, or "edit" mode. In "edit" mode they become visibly more saturated. Please see the video. November 17, 2017 - YouTube

    I am experiencing this issue as well. I'm using a Google Pixel 7. I cannot see an accurate preview of the photo I am editing. Everything is over saturated in the editor but when I export the saturation level decreases. It is impossible to edit photos this way. This app is unusable.

    @martinbushfu  You’ve posted to an ancient thread. It is highly unlikely that the issue described in this thread, though not impossible, is the same one you are currently experiencing. Rather than resurrect an old thread that is seemingly similar, you are better off posting to a new thread with fresh, complete information, including system information, a complete description of the problem, and step-by-step instructions for reproduction. 

     

    If the issue is the same, we will merge you back into the appropriate location. 

     

    Thank you!

    I've stumbled upon this issue too and it's bugging the heck out if me. Got a OnePlus 8 and I only shoot in RAW.

    Hellow guys, I had the same problem with samsung and I HAVE AN INCREDIBLE SIMPLE SOLUTION, I discovered that problem is samsung screen mode, not lightroon, adaptative display is default option and this change color on every app and website, on some apps color is oversaturated and and other desaturated, I FOUND A SIMPLE SOLUTION: on display menú ACTIVATE BLUE LIGHT FILTER option, then TURN OPACITY OF THIS FILTER TO MINIMUM and ready, on minimum color of screen it will not change, but you will realize that now color of device is uniform on all apps and websites, adaptative display is far the best color option on samsung but color normally change, with it that problem is solved.

    Unluckily, I've got the same problem on both my Android devices (Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet and Xperia X Compact). It really gets very annoyed, especially when you work with skintones. Definitely, this is a bug with compability of color management.

    I encountered this issue with my iPhone Xs Max too.  For me, it only happened to raw files taken with iPhone.

    I’m on iPhone 5S and it’s also happening here but not on my Asus Zenfone. Weird. But with iPhone, I need to press & hold or zoom in to show the saturated one which is, I think, is more worse.

    I spend hours working on lightroom and I have tried all the color space that comes with the program, but to my clients who use Android the photos look like a SHIT, so I have no idea what to do because telling them to use Iphone is not possible

    Any movement on this issue? I have the Galaxy S9+. The display is gorgeous for most applications. When I go in to Lightroom, the colors are super saturated and skin tones are burnt out. I went to System Settings -> Display -> Screen Mode and I switched from Adaptive Display to Basic and it looks much more natural. Does anyone know of a way to get Lightroom (or some other app) to turn off the Adaptive Display when I'm using Lightroom?

    As for me, images are undersaturated before I start edit them in app.

    Grain +1 and there is no problem, but I have to do it with each image and cant apply on all images((
