Yellow tint - Redmi Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have redmi note 4g and its a wonderful phn with a grt specs in vry low price..
Even display is gorgeous but there is a problem with my display.. I dnt knw whether its only me or anyone else hv same kinda issue.. Display works absolutly fine ,but " THERE IS A YELLOW TINT ON SIDE EDGES OF A DISPLAY".
Its a gradient yellow and appers mainly on top side edges of the screen.. No its not becoz of some screen guard or some theme.. I even change the whole rom jst to check whether its the fault of the rom or the display.. I even changed colour saturatuon but that yellowish tint never goes. .It mainly appears on white background. I can clearly see whn i go to settings as it has white background ..
I dnt knw anyone personally who has redmi note 4g to check if everone is stuck up with this prob or jst me.. If anyone is facing same issue then plz post here
Is there any solution to it..?? I stay in india (mumbai) and phns warranty is still not void..
Plz reply soon.. Thanxx

Could be caused by moisture. Do you bring your phone with you in wet environment? (eg. shower) In that case just avoid that places in the future (or put phone into a transparent plastic bag, like I do)
Or it could be a hardware related problem. Screen was always yellow from the beginning or it changed at some time?

That could b d one reason.. I use phn in bathroom sometimes too listen music..
I exchanged this phn.. Originally it was of my dad.. So i doubt if yellow tint was from beginning or it appeared now
But thanks anyways.. I will try to keep in plastic to get rid of moisture.. And wil tel u if this prob gets solved or not

Its happening with my Note 4g too
I have a slight tint on bottom pane of my screen. It appears to be not going .
Should i be concerned about this as anybody else got this same issue and has anyone fixed this or shall i take my note 4g to a service center?
Please advice.
Thanks,
Akhil

I know I am replying to an old post. But, there isn't any other thread on this matter.
I've got the same issue. I will try to remove the screen guard and check.

yellow tint appear in my phone also when the phone was delivered on 24 Jan. Even old MI 4i and Red mi Note 3 screen are clear and white in comparison to new Redmi note 4. Highly disappointed,made every setting/test updated the phone and also provided details to Mi Service for replacement. MI service although acknowledges the yellow defect but they are not replacing as per replacement policy EVEN WITHIN 15 HOURS OF DELIVERY. Yellowness is defect.
Very bad experience from MI SUPPORT.
You can compare new Red mi note 4 with Mi4i and will feel difference.
Very poor MI service in terms of replacement of note4

[Q] Pink Hue

Hi
Another problem encountered after I changed my 1st GNote3 due to camera output issue. The camera thread could be access here
I encountered this problem right after I arrived home on the same day I got my 1st replacement, durh~
I visibly can see pink hue at the bottom of my screen, approximately ¼ of my bottom screen. Sometimes, I also could see some green/blueish hue 1/8 of my upper screen. These hues can be visible under low light and brightness with grey/white background.
I’m positive that the shop won’t accept my 2nd replacement due to its policy of 1 to 1 replacement (one time only). I’m reluctant to send my GNote3 for repair anyway…
My question, could firmware/kernel update solve this problem? Or I need to bring this HP to Samsung Service Centre for Color Calibration? Anyone encountered the same issue?
Thanks

SCREEN - Light Bleed / Dead Pixels

Sent my first AM7 back to Amazon due to some screen issues. It was a silver model. My new black one is much better and only has a little Bleed in the top left corner. Being an lcd screen I expected a little as my Panasonic TV has this issue also and previous HTC One M7 had the same too.
The actual screen quality is really great just a little Bleed on some units it seems.
Anyone else notice issues. You will only see them in darkness.
No such issues in my unit. Even I put a complete black wallpaper but still no bleeding seen.

Good to know. Probably a quality control issue then.
You shouldn't be worried about this minor problem. It doesn't affect the performance in any way.

Exactly .. people are too much worrying .. - some little bleed- it is just LED light pases trough you won't help it .. you wont see it only when screen is black and you in dark.. in normal use is invisible ..
Mine LG TV has bleed in one corner .. so what.. if i replace it the bleed will be in another corner..

That's my point also. People are making this a very big issue. I never looked for this in my other mobiles till I saw this discussion here. People want to create problems for themselves... ? ?

I ordered two AM7s: a white one on the left and a black one on the right. Both have light bleed issues. Here are some pics compared to an iPhone 6, all with the same wallpaper.
Mine is not that bad but looks like ad card slot and volume rocker locations which is interesting. A little bleed is usual normal on LCD as discussed but I returned my first unit die to a dead pixel in the centre of my screen which I think most would agree is not acceptable
Well, if youre going to look at @buddyrevel's pictures, the light bleed is surely an issue. Btw, mine has too, on the right side where power and volume buttons are located.

[Q] Note 4 (910F) off white / yellow tint display

Hi , my name is Stefan and i am new on the forum ...
Regarding yellow tint display if somebody have an advice ,anything to solve this.
I must confess that although I have changed three screens, I have the same problem ...the display is not trully white .
The comparison is made in the same conditions : both phones are on 5.0.1 Lollipop,brightness is on maximum,adaptive mode display,auto adjust screen tone.
If somebody can tell me what is the problem , please because i don't understand why and how is possible ?
Screens can be recognized by a code, a serial number or manufacturer / supplier or is there something to differentiate between them ? From where to buy or achieve a display that have non tint yellow screen ?
Any advice is welcome because here i think is my last chance to find out what is it about...
Thank you
Have you tried to remove screen protector, just to check that its not that?
Yes , sure that i removed also screen protectoon but is the same yellow tint dispay !
And another important aspect also is , if you look carefully to my pictures beside that my dispalay has yellow tint , the colours are less vivid
Did u change the display settings

if you have the cinema mode for display selected then its because of that
You can't make anything to fix it. Mine screen is like yours. Also change my phone 3 times and always the screen is the same.
I've white phone like you. I think the problem is with white phone manufactured during 2015. I think 2014 phones doesn't have this problem.
Cheers.
No way ! My phone is always on adaptive display screen mode and auto adjust screen tone
These are the most recommended settings for Note 4, so far i know ...

I never thought at this ...what are you saying is incredible for me , this don't solve the problem but i must confess that i' m really very shocked !!! And yes , indeed you are right ! I took an app, from Play Store called Phone Info *Samsung* and manufacturing date is 2015.02.03 ,made in Vietnam
If you are right is something unbelievable !!!
So for me it's easy to find out if you're right about what you said, because tomorrow I will go and i will check if all phones that have white screens compared with my phone are manufactured in 2014.
And after that, I'll post the results here !

As i promised i'm back with the results after i checked today 4 phones that have white screens from different suppliers and situation is as follows :
1.From 2 different Orange stores i checked 2 phones both on black colour ( they sell only black colour) , first one SM-910F(snapdragon variant) was manufactured on 2014.10.08/made in Vietnam and the second SM-910X(demo unit phone) don' t appear any date of manufacturing just made in Vietnam.
2.From Media Galaxy store i checked 1 phone SM-910C (octacore exynos variant) white colour and this was manufactured on 2015.01.19/ made in Vietnam.
3.From official Samsung store i checked SM-910X (demo unit phone) ,don't appear any date of manufacturing just made in Vietnam.
While I was in the official Samsung store, I met someone, who had bought a Note 4 from same supplier as me and the phone was the same colour white , same model (SM-910F) but this person told me that bought the phone in 2014 and we checked together with the Phon Info app and yes indeed the phone was manufactured in 2014 / made in Vietnam but this phone don't have white screen !!! but the phone screen although it was manufactured in 2014, the screen was more yellow than my phone which is made in 2015 !!!
And another thing would be that my phone which is compared in pictures with the phone screen from Media Galaxy store, but it is also manufactured in 2015 , the same as mine,this phone has a white screen and not a yellow screen like my phone .
So the final conclusion :
is NOT TRUE that all the Samsung Note 4 phones manufactured until year 2015 have white screens and the phones manufactured after year 2014 have a off white/ tint yellow screen !!!
Ok, It was a guess, because in my country almost Note from 2015 have this yellow screen, also new Galaxy S6 have too.
It's true that if you search you can find a good screen but I think 75% of probability is to find bad screen.
Cheers.
I got my note 4 shortly after it was released in Oct 2014. The past month I noticed only the upper half of my screen has a yellow tint to it. I've already tried display settings. Also tried resetting the phone and clearing system cache. It isn't the screen protector. I've investigated many forums and took every advice I can find and still the upper half of my screen has a yellow tint. I see a ton of people have this issue. This phone is supposed to be good for video and video editing along with photography Kind of hard to determine a good picture if half the screen is yellow. I am sure Samsung is aware of this issue but why have they not resolved it? Seems like a recall would have been made on the phones and replacements sent out. Paid over $800 for this phone, I could have kept my old Note 2 and invested in a good camera instead. This really needs to get fixed. If Samsung customer service is going to be this bad I will go with HTC or Iphone.
Try to set it like that!!!

Bad Amoled screen

What a bummer.. I have NEXUS 6P but it comes with a light vertical line (on gray and sometimes on white background if you look closely).. After research i found out that they are using Note 5 Screens. But really i'm dissapointed of this build quality of a premium phone. I fixed the bad colors (yellow and pink hue) with the kernel manager of Elementalx, but the light vertical line doesnt dissapear and they advice me to send for a repair Huawei VIP service (3 year warranty, just repair NO RMA), what shall i do send it in for a repair or keep it until its getting worser.
Please give me advice for this issue.
A lot of brands use Samsung amoled screens. But what does that have to do with build quality? It's obvious you have a problem with you screen panel. It's also obvious you should send it for repair. duh

Xiaomi mi note 2 oled screen issue ( Yellow Tint with Horizontal Lines )

I just recently bought mi note 2 ( Black 128gb , 6gb ) , i am very disappointed that i got it with defective screen i think, there is a yellow tint on the bottom and the screen shows some horizontal lines whenever the brightness is low, also the screen is not sharp compared to my 5.5 inch oneplus3 . however when i increase the brightness , i dont see those lines and yellow tint becomes much less . is that hardware or software issue ? is there a way to fix it without changing the screen ?
Any pictures?

Hi.
For the first step, you should do a factory reset.
If the problem still available, At the second step, flash the latest official ROM.
if the problem do not solved by this treatment. then yo have a hardware failure and the device should be send for replacement hardware product .
good luck.
Hello, I have the same issue, when the bright is low I can appreciate these horizontal lines. Could you fix it????? Thankss

Any solution? New flashing does not work - the issue is also at the fastboot mode... I thought it is a hardware problem...

Sorry for offtopic but may I ask which case/brand (link if possible ) you use? Looks like its protecting the phone nicely with the raised borders around the screen :good:
Sorry to dig up this old thread. Here to share my experience. I have the same problem as well. Faint, grainy grey lines become more obvious as the brightness becomes lower. Went to xiaomi's service centre and they offered to replace my screen as it is deem as a hardware failure.
