Is the greenish-yellow display tint still there? share your thoughts - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Let me start this with a picture of what's been plaguing all samsung AMOLED displays to date:

The S5's display has been lauded by many websites as a solid improvement over previous AMOLEDs.
Yet some mention a green tint, including an extensive AnandTech review.
Please share your thoughts on this if you received your device.

Yes it's still there. But not as bad as previous models.. All my note 3 Was really bad, but the s5 i Think is better and not so greenish looking tint

Wish they'd just get rid of it completely.

Screen banding (vertical lines)?

I was just wondering if any other owners noticed that the Nexus S has considerable more vertical banding than their previous handset.
My previous phone was a Vibrant and the Nexus seems much worse? Like when you pull the notification bar down you can see the vertical bands against the dark background or if you look at the background of the Gallery. It's very noticeable so I'm wondering if my phone is the only one like this or if it is a common issue with this phone?
Errr take a picture :S
Sounds like stuff related to pentile, and Nexus S not having the mDNIe part of the Super AMOLED screen, compared to other Galaxy S phones.
I saw the same thing...but its the touchwiz gallery has inhancements that make it look better.....watch on your vibrant pic an image side by side with your nexus....watch how when you click on the image it looks just like the nexus dose then it inhaces it where the ribbons dissopear....I've done it so I know...try it out

Noticed the same thing on my Samsung Focus.
It may just be the image quality of your picture, but mine is not nearly as bad as that. In fact mine is hardly even noticeable.
I exchanged mine with another one. The banding on my first one was more noticeable than the picture in this thread. The new has it a little bit but it is much clearer.

Looks rather creepy to me.
And I don't understand how a low quality and distorted iPhone is relevant to Android.

+1, No offense, it does look a little creepy, but cheers for the info.

Thats probably the eyes. Poser users want to see that there are poseable eyes in the figure, even though the google droid just has blank balls where his eyes are.
Rest assured, you can have solid colored eyes as well, and provided was green, white and black, the most common solid eye colors we see. (You can see that in the logo image on top of the first image.)
The phone behind him is actually a generic mobile phone... the point of it in the image is to solidify the fact that its the android robot in viewers eyes.
And no offense taken at all. The point of adding so many options to him is so end users can make him sad, happy, creepy, whatever. That maximizes the use you can get from him.
Gotcha. Cheers, great stuff, I wish you luck.

Any comments on the notification LED?

There is an LED at the bottom of the phone, but there is a dearth of photos showing how bright it is or whether it can emit various colors. Any other comments out there?
Wow if there was led notifications it would be the perfect phone.

I'm really interested about this feature ! If anyone have an information tell us!
Pretty sure it's a similar RBG LED as the Galaxy Nexus, you can see it's at the bottom of the phone below the screen. At the vert least we know it's there as the manual says it is!

Take it for what it's worth.
I think the GNex set the standard on this one, the ED will be a part of the bottom bezel.

2nd paragraph neat the bottom they state its RGB but I will look more.

Bummer. I wish more people would center the FFC. Or at least angle the camera so you don't have to offset the phone while video chatting or taking pictures. The FFC on the Nexus 4 is all the way on the right.

Image Retention on new S5?

Just picked up a new white S5 on Friday. Few days later, I am noticing a burned in bar on the lower half of the screen. I am not sure what to make of this? Could this just be an issue with AMOLED panels? It's not very noticeable unless you look for it, but it is definitely there. Would love some opinions on this.

Burn-in (uneven wear to be more accurate) will still happen in any AMOLED device. the technology has improved so it should not appear until quite some time down the road, at least it's supposed to have improved.
Any app that might have kept an static image for a long time there?

Well before venturing ideas, I'd like to get a good idea of what you are seeing. I'm sure that it is glaringly obvious to you since you know it's there now.. but your photos are not close ups or high res.. and you didn't circle the area or describe it in detail. Can you point it out or describe it better?
It might be exactly as the poster above suggests or I can think of three or four other possible causes depending on what the artifact looks like.

Camera problem!

Dear all,
When I use my HTC U Ultra camera, there is something wrong appear in every scence which has lights. They look like reflections of the lights with various blurred dot shape.
Sorry because I'm new here so I can not post an attachment for example. I have come to the store and tested this case with another U Ultra, however, it resulted in the same way.
Look forward to your guy reply.

Hi there,
I have exactly the same problem. Have you been able to solve it?
Enviado desde mi HTC U Ultra mediante Tapatalk
That is what I believe to be laser autofocus. Don't worry too much.
It's quite impossible not to be worrried... The problem exist, and is not nice...
If ot is on all Htc U Ultra, it's annoying... Someone else experimentes this? Solutions? Halos don't appear only on photos, but also on the screen when you are taking the photo...
I have seen this under very intensive lightning but it is not frequent. Usually slight change of the angle of shooting solves the problem.
Holy crap.. i just notice it outside.. i will upload video or photos..

Are you guys kidding? It's flaring which happens with every lens while aiming at bright light sources.
