Pink tint in white background - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys.
I'm a Note 4 user.
I love It, but using white background i find a little area in the low half screen not so white but white /pink.
Tilting the screen white is cold.
It's normally?
Erica Griffin in Note 4 Review spoke about this problem in her video.
Ps. Why "Reading Mode" is missing in Note 4?

Same here. I have seen a lot of N4 - an they all had a pinkish tint on white backgrounds. One more, one less.

So this is not a problem?

Of course this is a problem. But as I said before - this is the way nearly all the N4 screens I have seen look like. I fear you have to accept it.

Try changing screen mode

Adaptive or Cinema makes it bluer. But having half the screen colder like that isn't normal.

my new nexus 4 has a yellow tint

visible on grey background, so it s annoying in settings :s
Is the warranty working on that ?
Can franco kernel solve this issue ?
Mh if you have not already broken your warranty I would send it in. Faux kernel can solve this problem and I think also Franco but it's not the same. It seems that your device has a strong hardware tint so I think it'll look better if you send it in

hmm what do you mean by it's not the same ? (it's complicated for me to send it now, maybe in few month. )
i have the warranty but if i flash the phones, i can go back to stock isn't it?

To be honest I don't know about warranty maybe someone here has gained some experience with warranty?
It's not the same, in my opinion because it seems you device has some abnormal "heavy" tint so I think you can neutralise the yellow tint but I don't know to which degree you will be successful, because of the heavy tint.
I'm sorry it's hard to explain.
You can definitely make the display look more natural and better balanced but I don't know how strong the tint is, because most Nexus 4 have a way to strong blue color.
Maybe it would help if you could take a photo of the display with a nice white balance and some comparison like a white paper next to it (and a clean white color shown in the display) so that we can see more clearly how strong the tint is.
But if you cannot send it in now I think you will try it out. And I don't know if they will take the phone back after a few months because of a problem which exists since you bought the device...
But I'm really unexperienced with warranty.
Maybe someone else could leave his opinion?

in my opinion, the yellow tint is not heavy...but it gives a strange colors in parameter and on grey in general. The white is quite good i think, maybe a little bit yellow, but definitely not blue.( the screen also have average vision angle in terms of ligth (not colors)is that normal ?( it s not a very important thing)
by the way, i will try other kernel if i can't adapt to the screen.
of course i will try to make a photo, but i only have my computer for that and i don't know any software ofcapable taking photo with the webcam XD

Na it's OK if it's not too heavy you can neutralise it, but you won't find a preset for a too yellow screen so you will need to calibrate it on your own with gamma and stuff so it will take time but it's possible
I would take faux kernel he has one general app and then one separate display calibration app
Average vision angle is normal
EDIT: Franco has such an app too, Sry didn't know. Only gained experience with faux and I'm happy with it

slim bean rom can solve it too (compared to JRxxY stock), seems like including color tweaks
Did you try to fix it?
Did you manage to get rid of the tint?

Yellow tint on note 3 screen?!

Hi I have the white galaxy note 3 and I've noticed after a few weeks of using it that the screen has a slight yellowish tint. it is especially noticeable when looking at white backgrounds and on the Google home page. My gf also has the black note 3 however she got hers a month after me and I got mine the day it came out. On her screen there is no yellow tint at all and the whites are perfectly crisp white and not off white. Does anyone have a solution for this or how to fix it also the screen on her phone seems a lot more hd and clearer compared to mine, this can especially be seen at low brightness. Please help Thank you.

Really sounds like a hardware issue I'm afraid. Return it and get a replacement.

Well, you can download an app called "Screen adjuster" and see if you can remove the yellow tint that way. I seriously doubt it but it's worth a shot, otherwise I don't see another way to solve this. Maybe someone else got an awesome idea. But try the app, otherwise I think it's a defect screen, unfortunately.
The yellow tint will be more noticable on Movie mode correct? How about if you switch to dynamic mode and or standard mode, do you still see yellow?
My S4 used to be slightly yellow also. As did most of my IOS phones I had before.

Nope I've never used movie mode before always been on standard, dynamic improves it slightly but the yellow is definetly still there and noticeable when looking at white backgrounds

Display of Black colours

Hi guys.
Just a Quick question:
I compared the screen colours of my Z2 with my old Samsung Galaxy S2 using the app screen test.
There I noticed, that black on the Z2 isn't really black while on my S2 black is truly black.
Is that normal?

Its normal as far as i know Samsung phones use Super Amoled screen which has darker black while Sony use IPS screen technology has less darker black ,, dont worry its totally normal
It can't really be darker than the screen itself, because black is absence of light, which means the light sources are turned off when displaying black.
The color black will be as dark as the panel.
Well the panel is definitely much more black when it is turned off.. In the end the black white contrast on my S2 is much better
When I run the screen test app, when black is being displayed, the screen isn't off though

IPS is lighting even when display black, compared to AMOLED where every pixel has its own led diode so when AMOLED display black, its pixels eventually turn off. Thats why..
Different display technology, both have their adv. and disadv.
On amoled displays black pixels turn completely off, which is why it has so good contrast.
this is completely normal, because the superamoled panel have isolated pixels. the black in amoled panels is literally black, no light emitted, only the reflections from screen. in a complete dark room, the screen blackness would be the same as the room. LCD panels cant do that, the best ones can do something like 0.08cd/m2 of black levels, this mean that the black is actually greyish, while super amoled can do 0cd/m2 meaning infinite contrast. according to reviews xperia z1 compact have a black level of 0.44cd/m2, and while the z2 has a better screen, the black levels should be around the same
thx for the explanations.
Light emitted always needs battery consumption so I would assume, the amoled screen is especially with dark colours more battery saving, then the lcd screen, right?
Yes it is

Blue tint on screen at different viewing angles

when I look at my Nexus 6P directly it is white, but when tilting it has a blue tint.
Is this common in AMOLED displays or is it a defect.
Normal.
Yes that is normal. But if you had said it was blue directly looking at it and turned white at an angle, then it would be a defect.

It is very noticeable in white pages tilting it a little causes faint blue.
Compared the device to a nexus 6 mine has little blue when tilting a little like 10-15 degrees the nexus 6 doesn't why?
Very little viewing angle change turns whites into light blue
I have a nexus 6p and it drives me crazy with its color shifting, for a very little viewing angle change it turns all whites into blue and the more i turn it it goes into a rainbow effect. According to the people of internet an amoled panel should have great, nevertheless better viewing angles than a lcd panel. Well i have to say thats not the case now, i have a oneplusone to compare the two to eachother and the oneplusone has basicly no change of whites other than it gets a little bit darker but it does not rainbows out whatsoever. But on the other hand the nexus 6p for the smallest change from straight can change its white color. Very annoying.
Is there any solution for that, or it is what it is, and take it or leave it?
Anybody might has a solution for that?
It is what it is: third one arrived today and still not the best whites but it is the better of the three. The build date on mine is 11/3.

Honestly it doesn't bother me because I always look at directly. If you really want to go postal, tilt it almost at 180 degree then you'll start to see rainbows. What bugs me is that even on direct facing, mine doesn't have even whites. Bottom is more green and top is more pink. But that's another topic on this forum.
It shouldn't be normal. Viewing angles are supposed to improve as tech improves. You wouldn't accept viewing angles like this from an oled tv.
My Samsung galaxy s3 had amoled screen and didn't suffer from this. And that was when amoled tech was way behind what it should be now.
Is this really normal for all 6P users? I think my phone didn't have that blue tint until I accidentally turned on "Picture Mode: RGB" under developer options. Now it doesn't matter if I turn it off or on again. The blue tint is seen each time I don't look straight at the phone. I even did a hard reset just to be sure. Did that accident really break the viewing angle or is it just my imagination?
My older Nexus 5 doesn't have that issue. The blue tint isn't seen when looking from all angles.
Apparently that's normal for Amoled screens.

I've gone through a few Nexus 6P devices and all have been very similar and all of them have this issue. I would agree that all AMOLEDs have a similar issue however the Nexus 6P has a very narrow band of vertical visibility. I am either very susceptible to this and/or I use my phone at a slight enough angle and it drives me nuts.
I'm coming from a Nexus 6 that I didn't have the same issue with. Sure, if you angle it at extreme angles it gets weird, but I'm okay with that.
I just got the new gold variant and it does this.. Been trying to get used to it but it's driving me insane. anytime I type or move the phone around when pressing things all the whites turn a blue tint..

Uneven screen color temperature

Just got my Android Yoga Book. Fantastic piece of hardware. The best tablet I put my hands on in a while.
However, I do notice uneven color temperature on the screen: right side (where YogaBook logo is located) is slightly colder (looks more bluish), than the left side (which is hence warmer or yellowish). It's not huge, but I can definitely notice. It's most visible on the white background. I'm trying to figure out, if I can live with it...
How are your screens?
I am pretty picky, and almost on all recent devices (MSI laptop, Moto X smartphone) I had to go through a couple of RMA exchanges, until I was given a screen, that satisfied me... I saw such issues even on the most expensive iPads, but my girlfriend says I'm just crazy...
girls are always right, period....
My screen apears even in terms of color to me. However I am not too sensible - did you check with different ambient lighting?

Yeah, I can notice unevenness at any ambient conditions. I will try to exchange my tablet, as I've been trying to ignore this issue for several days, but it bugs me every time I look at the screen.
I can't see any variance in color temperature on my Yoga Book.
I have also noticed this on my Yoga Book. It is a very subtle issue and I have to focus on it to actually notice it.
Its on right side as OP said so probably a factory/construction issue.
mine is ok at the moment. Got mine from UAE.
