    1. Hi Mike,
      Thanks for coming.
      CMIIW, there no shortcut key to toggle negative colours. But, you can access the accessibility menu more faster by choosing "Accessibility" under the "Show shortcut" option in the accessibility menu in Settings. Once you've done, now you can more faster accessing the Negative colours option by long pressing the Power key> tap Accessibility> enable or disable Negative colours.
      Hope this helps :)

  3. Hey there, I had my phone in my shirt pocket and it was unlocked, next thing I know whilst going to make a call, the screen appeared extra bright and very dull. This was as if the colour had been reduced or the contrast intensified. Please help me. The brightness slide button does not help because even at it's lowest, it's still bright...

    1. Hi Reidy 21602,
      Thanks for coming.
      If the direct access feature is enabled and only the negative colours option that's selected, the negative colours feature can be enabled or disabled automatically when you press the Home key three times in quick succession. Thus, try disabling the direct access feature and then see whether it helps.
