Please help! I just bought the Bell galaxy s 2 today and realised that in low brightness settings screen has a pink tint.
Does anyone have this issue? Its more visible in grey colors. When i compare with my galaxy s, galaxy s' whites are true white and galaxy s 2's white are pinkish tint on it. When the brihhtness is at %100 its not that visible but once u set it %0 it becomes pinkish.
Is it what it suppose to be or its defective?
Note: yes i played with background effect but it didnt help. I am running KG2.
Edit: I compared with galaxy s again and if I make the brightness %100 on galaxy s 2 both screens almost identical (although SGS2 still has little warm whites) but at %0 brightness when I pull down the notification screen sgs2 has literally pink hue
Why not anyone comment on this? 100 something views and no comments?
U guys all have sgs2. pls at least share your phone's display colors so I can know if something is wrong with mine.
Yep got it to and also pink on camera also mine going back to Amazon tomorrow had two in a week with same problem Ive got one ordered from another retailer ... but I think its a inherent fault

Are you saying your whole screen looks rather pinkish ? I've seen couple of devices that were pretty much reddish when showing white, but i think that's not normal. You should replace it.

Yes whole screen has a reddish tint. Especially grey colors. Instead of grey it displays reddish. If i compare Gmail app with Sgs side by side, my screen has ridiculously pink color.
I wonder if its a software issue or hardware? Cuz I remember in sgs hardcore's kernel he made an.option to change the colors.
This is my second sgs2. First one had a dead pixel. So I didnt wanna go right away and change it. I wanted to ask yours.
More input will appreciated.
I uploaded a pic SGS and SGS2 side by side displaying Grey Graident Colors. what do you think?
If your phone looks like the one on the right, get it replaced. No rom/firmware will make it look good.

I'd take the lack or response to mean that it's not a problem experienced by many people. If your read the threads talking about the display, you'll see there's wide variations in color temperature. Cool/blue seems to be normal while there are reports of phones leaning toward warm/yellow. Pink hasn't been reported a lot so I'd exchange the phone.

I am also from India and I dont have any such problem with my sgs2...
My girlfriend and I have the same german sgs2 (dbt) and mine has a bit of a greenish tint whereas hers had a but if a reddish tint. You can't notice it when using the phones alone but when you put them side by side you can notice it a little bit, but really not that much. Seems to be an AMOLED thing. Maybe I'll manage to take a photo for you.

Thanks a lot for that image. I have been wondering what people were talking about when they mentioned pinkish screen...
Luckily I don't seem to have that problem. It seems like there are a few defective screens out there.
perhaps supercurio will have a voodoo colour fix with the sgs2 whenever he releases it. It fixed the tinge on the original sgs. Look it up if u are unfamiliar with it
I changed the phone today and got a new one. Its better now and significany less pink color.
Also I discovered something that the pink tint is only visible when u look at the screen 90 degrees. If u tilt the phone a little (5-10 degrees) to left-right or up-down and view like that the color turns normal (like my year old sgs).
It made me realise that this is a screen coating issue (maybe coating causes polarisation). So do u think this will go away with the time of use?
When I turn off the screen and check it under light by tilting I can see a little purple glare.
What do u think?
I love everything about this phone except...pinky tint at the bottom 1/5 of the screen!
It's especially visible with white background. It seems that the bottom 1/5 part gets very warm when the phone is doing lots of stuff or charging battery and I think that's when the pink tint is really gettung, well pink.
I will probably exchange it once the supply gets better and my local att store gets stocks. Hopefully you guys are not experiencing this.

Thanks guys for the reply. I've got blue one. It's barely visible as my friends couldn't see it at all lol. I have really good eyes, or I have to say "trained eyes " that I do graphic arts stuff everyday. Color accuracy is critical for my job.
My S2 had blueish tint but it was uniform color temperature for the entire screen. I'm currently using app called Screen Adjuster to mitigate the issue but it doesn't solve the problem because of the uneven color temperature. I really think that the heat at the bottom part really changed the tint permanently.
I'm happy that you guys don't have such problem!

Mine has a couple of those too. From reading the international thread, it seems somewhat normal with amoled. There's a chance you will exchange it and get once that's worse....
Edit: I shouldn't say normal with amoled. My nexus s doesnt really have it. My nexus s is also almost completely black while the galaxy s3 isn't as dark of a black

I must say it'll be really hard to find the AMOLED screen with no ink bolbs unfortunately.. I went through 3 S2 Syrockets and 1 Playstation Vita. All of them have those blobs or lines of ink that you can see in a dark room with black or gray background. It's really prevalent issue. Personally I gave up about the issue as its only visible in some limited conditions. Sorry but if you don't have any other problems then i dont want you to exchange it with even worse unit...

Thanks! I'm really hoping that the odds are very rare!
Until my exchanged unit arrives, I'll just enjoy this beautifully built phone!
Oh man I thought samsung noticed this issue with the intl version.. is it possible to use the SG3 without a simcard? I mean can I access the applications / browser using wifi without having a simcard in? I am asking because I ordered one from AT&T and I will unlock it, I don't want to unlock it then send it back if it has issues..

If you want to see if your phone has these blobs, do the following
Go into a pitch black room
Set your phone brightness to auto
Open camera app
Turn off flash
take a picture of pure darkness
View the picture in the gallery, and tap it once open so all the bars and menus go away showing nothing but the image
Inspect the screen up close, you may have to wait 5 minutes for your eyes to adjust
If you don't see those blotches, your eyes suck, didn't let them adjust enough to the dark, or you just wasted your luck on a nice phone rather than a lottery ticket!

How do you know that the blotches you see after this test are not just a camera flaw? Did you send the picture you took on the sg3 to another phone and view it again? If the bloches are there, its a camera flaw. If not, its a screen flaw.
Everysingle amoled screen that I have owned had purple tint. It is more or less common on samoled. Especially noticeable when the brightness turned to low.

Because, i used pinch and zoom while the picture was open and pretty much saw nothing happen on the screen. I could tell from some slight changes in some lighter spots, but the blotches did not move. You can do the same.

Ah, that will work, too! Thanks!
This is being discussed extensively in the international version forum. Those without red tinted blacks have smearing with grey on black colors, like in the menu screen. Those with red tinted blacks have little to no smearing. My device and a few other ATT S4 owners have confirmed that they have a red tint to mostly black screens in very low light. My question is, those of you with pitch black screens (even in a dark room), are you seeing any smearing or ghosting when scrolling in the menu screen? I want to see if the US variants actually have screens that don't have either issue.
Absolutely. I have the black crush pretty bad on mine. I went into AT&T today and checked the display models and both of them did it also. I made a video of it for those who don't know what we are talking about. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yL5TV8kuxac&feature=youtube_gdata_player

I have a brand new S4 from Bell Mobility Canada. The smearing/clipping as well.
Any confirmed setting/etc that can be changed?
I first noticed it scrolling the settings menu....I remember seeing the S4 video clips where that same menu used to be white....
i got it too.
I have the smearing but it turns out that it's not as bad as I thought it'd be. I'll have to watch some videos when I get home but for now I think I'm okay with it.
If you have smearing, download Screen Adjuster and change the red blue and green to +5 or higher. Its been reported to fix the smearing and keep blacks black. For the red tint black, nothing you can do atm.
have the same problem on the phone with fido
There should be a software update for this

"bala_gamer" came up with this fix. Props to him. I agree, Samsung should have fixed this already. The "smearing" thread in the international S4 forum is getting a little out of control and Samsung just keeps dicking around, turning the red pixels on and off in each firmware iteration lol
I have an AT&T S4 and my black are 100% black. If I load a black image in the dark it looks as if the screen is off. How it should be

This actually helped to fix it, the issue was happening before and after the OTA, so it looks like the OTA didn't include anything to help that.
I had to set it higher though, is this hardware issue though?
I saw some ppl saying they didnt had the problem.

Everything ive read in the international S4 forum, except those very few who claim otherwise, suggest that either you have red tinted blacks OR you get smearing but have pure blacks...its one or the other. If someone really doesnt have either, i'd be surprised at this point. I thought maybe the US version was fixed, but no.
Its a hardware issue that seems to be addressable by software fixes, but if Samsung neglects it....well...thats a different story. Having to run Screen Adjustor and pushing the colors up is not without consequences. For one, i think its going to affect battery life. Someone reported that this fix made the slight pinkish tint on his screem even worse, so its not a perfect fix.
Per OP....I DO NOT have red tinted black. Phone is CRYSTAL clear and crisp.

No yellow tint here, but to be fair, I wasn't really looking for it. I haven't looked at my screen with a pure white background though to be sure.

A lot of people really on had this issue and it went away for some over time. Dunno if that was a placebo though. Also you can fix it with using kernel with color rgb and gamma control.
We see you meow on our nexus⁴ can we haz some more?
Mine came with yellow tint but went away after a month or so.
Well I'm glad to know other people have had positive experiences with their nexus 4, because I've been having the worst luck in terms of build quality with every nexus device I've owned. I just posted a huge rant about my experiences with the nexus line of products (specifically the nexus 4) and how what you pay for really is in most cases what you get.

You pay 650-700$ for an unlocked galaxy s4 and you still get display burn in after a while..
Or you pay the say amount for a galacy s3 and get the corrupted EMMC and sudden death syndrome. (I had an s3 with an affected chip).
One more point, the nexus 4 sells outside the playstore for over 500$/600$. The 300/350$ playstore price is not a regular price.

if you mean the whole screen is yellow tinted from bad calibration, then yes. the yellow splotches that ive heard about, no. ive only seen the yellow tint for a matter of minutes when i first got my phone and flashed it to 100% stock, a custom kernel will completely get rid of it.
No yellow tint on any of the three nexus 4 devices I've used. Now my galaxy nexus... that's yellow!

Hi Guys
I got my Note 3 today. The first thing i saw was this purple Ghostimg..
Uncheck Auto Brightness and set the slider to -5.
Then in Settings and Contacts you can see Smearing like on the S4 (not that bad but its there)
If you use Tapatalk change to dark theme and scroll slowly..
The Grey Text gets purple... When you stop scrolling its grey..
This Su***
Sorry for my bad english
Sorry for DP
You can also see it in LCD Test (Amoled Ready) App.
Change Brightness to lowest possible level.. Then switch between black and darker grey.. You can see a purple bar between them
Edit: I tried the S4 Fix. Changed Contrast to -10 (with Screen Adjuster) and Smearing is completely gone
so note 3 screen is fine then?
Thinking of buying the Note 3 but really wanna know how bad the smearing issue is cause i bought the Galaxy s4 on launch day and couldn't live with the smearing issue ( my girlfriend also bought a Galaxy s4 on launch day and still has it..she didn't think the smearing was annoying..i hated it )
Could someone with a Note 3 try both things explained below on low brightness
1. Download zedge and search for black wallpapers..then while scrolling thru the wallpapers..do you so smearing..purple glow on the grey background in zedge between the wallpapers?
2. Choose a black wallpaper as background and install nova launcher...then on the homescreen set a widget with some grey in it like the stock music player widget and scroll between the homescreens...and also with some icons on the homescreens?
On the Galaxy s4 doing the above there was a lot of smearing..purple glow visible even after the fix from samsung cause they only fixt it in the samsung framework

For me... Its too much Smearing.. I sold my S4 because of Smearing.m And now Note3 is the same.. Bought it Yesterday.. Now i sell it on ebay.. i hate this ugly smearing.. its a no go for a 750 € Smartphone..i stay with my Note 2 -.-
Edit: Tested Zedge... Between Black and Grey Wallpapers massive Smearing.. very very bad :/
Yeah Samsung will fix this for sure.. But in Tapatalk ect Smearing will still be there

Gee, I have this issue with my Galaxy S4. I don't have the Note 3 but considering they have the same screen technology, the issue is probably with the hardware.
I've attached a picture which really shows the smearing.
1. Set brightness to lowest.
2. Open the attached picture in the galaxy app.
3. Zoom in on the picture.
4. Scroll up and down. You'll see purple shadow around the black edge.

I noticed it when browsing several forums that have darker themes, any black/grey transitions smear terribly with purple..
I don't think it's a screen tech thing, because fast moving films with dark scenes don't seem to smear, it only seems in the rendering of UI stuff..
It is hardware problem?
Sent from my GT-N7000
I think I read it is a screen tech thing - a side effect of the deepest blacks produced by turning off the pixels altogether. Then the smearing is caused by the pixels being turned on again but not quite fast enough. At least I think that was the theory.

I tried with the picture someone attached, zoomed in with lowest brightness and moved the picture around. I was not able to see anything weird.
Definitely has it on mine at lower brightnesses, got it yesterday. VERY easily noticed in Tweetings where mentions are in a grey-ish colour. Only does it on text at basically minimum brightness, so I can live with it. Really bugged me on my S4 on text as it was apparent at slightly higher brightnesses.
