Blue Tint Problem?

Anyone having the "Blue Tint" problem? it happens when i am on the lowest brightness level and i open up the gmail app the white has a bluish tint. I went to the tmobile store and they exchanged my phone because the display model displayed perfect white when set at the lowest brightness and the gmail app was opened. some euro galaxy s users are also reporting of a blue tint problem when displaying whites. Any one experiencing this?

I've got the same issue. I just figured it was a product of the SAMOLED screen, but I guess I'll swing by the T-Mob store tomorrow and see what's up.

I thought it was a little strange that the Gmail client opened and the tint changed a bit. I also figured it was just something that happens with the SAMOLED.
Please give us an update after you stop by the T-mo store.

Yep its blue here too. I sorta thought it was a bit odd, but figured oh well it sure is easy on the eyes thou.

Can you provide an example?

uhh, that's not normal?

When my wife first saw the screen she said there was a blue tint to it but I wasn't able to see it. But now that others are seeing it too, maybe it is a problem.
Here's what I did... I downloaded one of those flashlight apps that turns your entire screen white. I then did a screen shot with Shoot Me app (for root users).
Then I compared the screen shot with the actual screen and took a picture of it.
I'm not sure if this is a good enough experiment since color settings on my monitor can be different but here is a pic for you guys nonetheless.

The Vibrant color temperature appears to be running hot at about 7800K. There should be a way to adjust the color temperature somewhere.

Someone posted about this in the i9000 section.

Seems like it's an SAMOLED issue, but if others have seen demo phones that appear 'warmer', maybe it's not.

Just got back from my trip to the T-Mob store and played with the demo model and 2 reps personal phones any they all have the same issue. I'm going to chalk it up to it being part of the SAMOLED technology and ignore it. It doesn't bother me at all, but if it was a small group that had the issue, I would have exchanged my phone.

This very interesting because I did recognize the blue tint on my phone as well, however my girlfriends phone has a soft yellow tint.
I'm curious what is causing this to happen.
(I remember on the iphones, the old ones had a blue clear tint, while the newer screens had the very same soft yellow tint to it. I know they are two very different screen technology, but it's interesting that I'm seeing it again, except on two of the same batch of phones. I checked the boxes and they are from the same, "litter.")
Anyone find out how we can adjust the color temp on our phones?

I guess, Samsung just averaged this tint. Since blue amoleds with time degrade faster then others, the things will be better at some point and end up with yellow tint several years from now.

I took a picture with my Canon 5D...if you look up at the very top at the black strip that goes across where the notifications show up, you can see the color difference.
If you look closely at the picture you can tell the left is blue and the right is yellow.
IT'S MUCH MORE NOTICEABLE IN WITH THE NAKED EYE.
Any thoughts?

First and foremost, I wouldn't call it a "problem," as the thread indicates. It just is what it is and does no harm...
Anyhow here's some pictures I took of the four Vibrants I have. You can definitely see the contrast now. My phone is #4 on far right. Ice cold blue eh? or actually blue flame kelvin hot! It looks like my HID's on my car and the yellow on the other phones look like my stock yellow oem headlights...

Something I noticed today while reading through comments on Endgadget is that every time I would scroll down (or up), the tint would turn more blue as it scrolled. Release my finger from the screen, and the tint would "snap" back to yellow.
The difference in tint is very subtle, but once I caught onto it, I found it distracting.
I cant say I'm able to replicate this behavior on other websites. Google News and NYT, for example, are fine. Furthermore, I'm not seeing it in the XDA app, Gmail, or the Market.
My overall screen brightness is set to 0 and my browser brightness is also at 0.
Anyone else seeing this?

I have an iphone 3G in hand next to my Vibrant. The iphone's browser clearly has a very neutral white, whereas the Samsung presents whites as very blue-green and much dimmer. I have mine set to auto-bright levels. How do you change the browser's brightness independently?

Probably the case. Now I'm wondering if it's a setting in the software or if it's a physical LED characteristic?

I can replicate this issue on XDA via the brower on any brightness setting. The screen's slight blue (cool) tint becomes yellowy (warm) when I hold my finger on the page or scroll. Additionally, images become noticeably distorted during the hold-tap, so I assume low quality cache images are being generated for smoother scrolling, and the color temperature is accidentally changed as well.
This would appear to be an issue that software fixes may be able to counter (if any of this is indeed a hardware issue in the first place).

Weird screen issue, confirmed on two so far.

I don't know if these if happening on all our s2's.
basically, I noticed brightness goes down when displaying a lot of whites. e.g. google vs the whites in a page with more darker areas. (i don't think it's my eyes.)
I've never noticed this on my hd2, or any other phones.
when displaying google's in the browser, the white is not impressive at all.
another test i did was with an image I created (attached), half black half white. open in gallery and slide it so more black shows, or more white shows. The whole screen changes brightness!
My friend's S2 does the same.
can anyone confirm?

That's actually a power-saving feature you can turn off.
Go into Settings -> Display -> Scroll down and untick 'Auto adjust screen power'.

Its not.
Its definitely there irrespective of display settings.
Basically even when you are not moving picture, have a look near the border.
There is definite grey banding near the border. It kinda looks like white is bleeding into the black.
And its there on every SGS2, every single one. It can be hardware or software issue.
@OP. you are definitely not alone. I was actually having talk with my friends in UK. 6 of us now have SGS2. 2 are from O2, 3 from P4U and 1 from Handtec and mine is from Clove.
All are experiencing same thing. Its definitely not your eyes.
@others. Its not a glaring issue. You wont notice i t unless there is extreme contrast images on screen like this one. My dad still couldnt notice it when I was showing it to him. But its still there. Will upload video, but its hard to pick on video as well.

It's an option in the Display settings - auto adjust screen brightness after analysing image or something similar.
Samsung thing, I think, since my Omnia 7 with Windows Phone did exactly the same thing. It's trying to save you power and completely normal.

Thanks very much guys, I think I can accept it if it's all built like that. With that option off it really helped! (I feel a lil retarded now). But for some reason that test image I made still has that dimming effect (double tap it in the gallery, this instant change makes it obvious), but maybe that's normal, not fussed. (normal web browsing is perfect)
And no I didn't exchange any phones. Mine does have a dead pixel tho. Can anyone check their screens for dead pixels for me? I know someone had blue lines and stuff on their units, that's a bit drastic. I'm just wondering how many actually have say 1 dead pixel, so I have a better picture before I actually exchange mine or something.

asefsef said:
Yea, I've already got that turned off including power saving mode (mentioned in first post).

Nah, no dead pixels or other screen issues here. If you have dead pixel, i would return it.
Here is the video, its not clear as camera limitations dont really show it properly, but at 720P you can see it for fraction of second, that is not the lens glare but screen turning grey right above the white border.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGr7xJ1JIjU
around 0:15-0-18 in that video.

As mentioned, its a power saving feature as AMOLED screens don't like whites as they drain power, they prefer blacks. So reducing the brightness helps to save battery.

I can see it grey in the video, almost like that gingerbread scroll limit effect. very hard to see in the video though, would have just said it was the camera.
Yea I'm considering returning. In my other post, I mentioned how Handtec got back to me. In short, not fault since only 1 pixel, but told me I can exchange/return within 7 days. But, they said since it's not a fault, I'll have to pay shipping both ways. (£28 per way, ouch)
Does that sound right??

Just a thought, could not the grey area when moving a black/white border area simply be the screen pixels taking a few milliseconds to go from completely dim, to grey, then to completely white, ie just a response time, albeit a bit slower than what I would have guessed?
On my SGS, going into a completely black app drawer with bright icons and moving around, it also has a very slight dragging effect on some white/black constrasting areas?

[Q] Note 3 N 9005 16Gb version: The back light of the screen can bee seen!

Well, I actually noticed it with my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 16Gb N 9005 version.
When I go into settings and open "Accounts" or when I hold the home button to see apps running, I can see the back light on the lower half of the screen. Well, I can see the back lights because the background is black. Whether I'm using it the screen with 100% brightness or less possible, it's the same.
However, when I'm viewing dark pictures or gallery or many other parts that has a black or dark background I can't see the back light. Unfortunately I don't have a picture of it cause I don't own any other camera than my phone to show it to you.
Well, I just wanted to know if it's actually normal to see the back light on the screen as I explained above or is it that my device is a defect one or is there some sort of setting that can change it.
My friend has the N9000 but I can't see the back light on his screen. I'm a little worried.
Thank you in advance for your replies and help!

I've got the 16GB N9005 as well. The screen doesn't have perfectly dark blacks.

Correct. I was under the impression this was unavoidable as it is the lcd reflecting the backlight.

Does the 16gb version have an lcd panel ?

You have a defective screen.
AMOLED displays don't even have a backlight, individual pixels themselves lightup when needed and go off when it's black.
Unless the 16GB version has an LCD display - which I am not aware of.

16GB? Really?

Well, I don't know if it's the back light actually. However when I go into settings and then account on the lower half of the screen, I can see the white lights behind the screen. It also apply when I hold the home button to see active apps I can see the same white light like on the lower half of the screen. Normally, since the default background is in black or dark grey it is noticeable.However, the weird part is when I go into gallery which also has the black background, it doesn't appear there! It's full black and I don't see the white like stuff.
Normally it is more visible when I'm in a dark room, mostly at night!
It's not LCD, it's Super Amoled just like the other!

yellow screen?

Is this normal or do I have a faulty unit?
Screen looks very yellow compared to my other phones.

What is the other phone? Go to settings -> display -> color mode and set color to normal, that will normalize it a little. It's set on vibrant by default. Regardless of that setting though, the screen on this phone is a "warm" one compared to others. The phone on the left is "cold" and bluish in comparison. Warm screens are a little more yellow/red, cold are blue. If the other phone is AMOLED there's your reason, but even if it's LCD, it's just tuned a bit differently. You should know that the phone on the left isn't producing a perfect white either, just a kind of white you're used to. Personally I prefer a warm screen, I find colder screens harder on my eyes.
TLDR- it's working as intended.

Unless you screwed with some settings no that isn't normal. If my whites were that yellow I'd return it. While an LCD might never be as white or black as an amoled it shouldn't look like 20 year old yellow paper either. WIth LCDs if you lower the brightness the screen will become more colored but nothing like that. You can also go compare it to some phones at the store that have LCD's and get an idea if its out of whack.

I spoke to two different support people at motorola ...one said it was normal for this phone as the screen was optimized for gaming?? .....the other said it was not normal and I should return it.
I tried using the app 'screen adjuster' to boost the blue light and it did indeed make it look white rather than yellow so it seems to be a color temperature setting so I'm still not sure wether changing the phone would make any difference and I can't compare in stores because they don't have them yet.
p.s. the other phone is an LG G2 which is LCD

Mine seems to have a little yellow at low screen brightness but it doesn't seem as bad as in your photo. I probably would not have noticed if not for this thread. Is your screen brightness low? Mine gets more white as the brightness goes up.

If it bothers you you can go through the return process and see if another one is different. My phone looks pretty much the same next to my Galaxy Note n-7000. That's AMOLED, but AMOLED or not, screens can be bluish. For perspective, here's what white looks like for reference. Neither of the phones are producing white. One is bluish, one is yellowish. Do you notice it when you're not comparing phone screens? After a few minutes of looking at the screen, going from app to app or looking at pictures, do white things register as white?

Red Tinged Display in Vivid Mode

Hey Guys,
I was fortunate enough to receive my phone today, and it was working amazingly through out the day I've had it.
Sometime during the night the phone took on a sharp red tint however, and nothing I have thought to do has reverted it to normal! I do not have the blue light mode on, Night mode is also off. I attempted to adjust the basic color scale as well as the advanced scale but the display doesn't actually change, it stays sharp red! After playing with all of the display and accessibility settings I could find, I tried to do a settings reset and a factory reset yet the problem persisted. Keep in mind that the red tint is only when I am using Vivid mode, under the Natural color profile the display colors are fine.
So after all of this i contacted Samsung support, and their answer was that I should look to return the phone, apparently a factory reset is the only answer they could of provided. I asked if they could help me re-install the firmware remotely or anything of the sort, but sadly they just read a script over there. Makes me wish i was sticking with a pixel, at least Googles support actually Tries
Has anyone else whose got the phone experienced this yet? i saw a bit that both the S8 and S9 had issues at some point or another with a red display, but I couldn't find a resolution for the issue.

Yup... I've got the red tint as well. That was the first thing I noticed after powering on the phone. It's more visible at the bottom of the screen for me.
Changing the colour mode from vivid to natural makes it more than required yellowish for my preference.
Am waiting for one of my friends to receive his S10+ and I'll compare his screen with mine. If it's too bad, I'll contact Samsung.
For the time being it's not bothering me much as am using dark background and black keyboard theme.

Folks, remember that there is a bit of natural color shift that occurs in these screens (ie: hold the phone straight up at your face and then tip it backward and forward a bit and it'll seem almost iridescent and travel up and down the screen). This is to be expected. I, too, have this occurrence but it isn't anything like the red/pink splotching on the S8+

I have the same issue with pink tint when rhe phone is not upright. I have checked more phones in Samsung store and everyone has it.

You probably have set blue light filter night mode to come on at night time. That would make the screen look that way.

There is no denying the screen has a pink tinge to it compared to the S9 plus. I wonder if it has something to do with the lowered blue light emissions that Samsung said these new screens had.

I'm definitely getting the noticeable pink tinge when viewing at any angle aside from straight on. Note 9 didn't do this at all

I am disappointed so far with the display on my S10+
I have also found it to have a red sort of tint, if I turn the phone to one side it looks a lot better
Could this have anything to do with the screen protector applied at factory?
Compared to my S8 the whites are so much better and whiter on the S8, also noticed a lot more screen/display settings on the S8...

Hey guys,
So I managed to fix my problem, the red display issue seemed to of been tied to my backup from my previous phone (a Pixel 3XL). I did a clean factory reset without restoring the backup, and the error went away.

This. Comming from note 9 as well I experience the same thing exactly. The colors seem somewhat washed out compared to the clarity of note 9. Absolute white is warmer with a hint of pink or yellow.
What i did is to put vivid mode, red and green both low and blue max. That seems to be the closest to my note 9.
I also went back to a Samsung experience store to change my device as I wasn't happy with the result. After inspection and comparison with other units they told me there is nothing wrong with it and would refuse to change it. All the s10 where similar to each other tbh. I just like the colors on my note 9 a lot more.
They also told me that the new screens have different colors compared to older devices to help out with the night sleep. Something that folks over displaymate also verify on their review.

It is very strange that nobody mentioned that in reviews.

I have redish screen too.
Vivid mode seem too red
The natural mode seem fine

My screen is absolutely perfect in vivid mode, you shouldn't restore updates when configuring it.

Has anyone experienced any issues with Smart Switch? That's what I was going to do when I FINALLY get mine. Im coming from an S8+.
I put this here because some people said when they restored their phone they got the red tint.

Screen looks fine to me. I have seen pink screens in past devices but this one is paper white.

I thought this red tint probably has to do with the "42% lesser Blue light" that Samsung advertised for the S10 series Displays ... Is it not ?

If that were the case I guess I would expect it to be uniform? As I tilt the phone up and down, I can see the wave of pink tint going up and down the screen shifting between white and pink.
If it wasn't shifting colors it wouldn't bother me nearly as much

I have this as well. I suspect it is simply the nature of the screen. My 10+ is a deal warmer than my 9+ without tweaking the display settings. It isn't a uniform thing but rather almost like a wave of sorts when you shift the phone.
