Hello. I have been trying to wrestle with the s7 edge i got. It's beautiful. But i don't know if i'm overthinking this or not. I look @ the display and the whites aren't perfect. Seems like a yellowish hue to it. I'm coming from an iphone so this kinda affects me.
I put two nexus 6p's side by side and saw there was a difference in screen colour.
I like the cooler temeperatures and i hate the yellow. The samsung engineers came back saying that my device is perfect and they can't do anything about it. I'm i wrong? Is this a general thing with AMOLED displays?
Go into Settings -> Display -> Screen Mode
Change to your liking

Iphone have bluish white and S7 have very close to perfect white but you get used to bluish white on iphone so now you see white on S7 as yellowish. There's nothing wrong with S7. It's just your brain and eye.

If you are desperate about it, play around with an app named Screen Equalizer. With that you could add a blue tint to the whole screen if wanted. It's meant to "fix" uneven display lightning/white balance but could probably be used for your cause too.

Hey guys, I've recently noticed my nexus 6p has a very warm/yellow feel to it when compared to other devices such as my old HTC one m7!
I did some reading and apparently the nexus 5x has had a massive problem with "yellow screens".
Now am I just being naive as I've never had an AMOLED display before or is there likely to be something wrong?
Also, is it likely to be software related as its affected both the 5x and 6p?
Thanks
Mine does not have a yellow tint, not sure about if it is software.
I am coming from Oneplus One. After two days with 6p it does have yellow whites and a bit of pinkish hue when looking straight at it, when tilting it disappears (pink).
Looking back at Oneplus One feels too blue on the other hand

Could it be the adaptive display?
I seem to recall the Nexus 6 having various screen issues upon release, too.
I switched adaptive display off and no change so I guess its not that. I think this is its "feature" and we have to live with it

It's just the way the screen is calibrated. This will be adjustable later on in development I'm sure.
yea, its how the screen is calibrated. i compared it to my oneplus and the oneplus has a more white color, though a slight blueish tint. the nexus 6p has a more yellow screen.
Loose Part(s) When Tapping on Screen?
Yes. If they don't tweak it, then surely the community will.
On another hand, does anyone have a hollow/loose sound when tapping on the top right quarter of the screen? The sound reminds me of a loose ceramic buttons on a Nexus 5. It feels as if it's behind the screen just right of the speaker but sounds as if it's out the side.
Could be the adhesive for attaching the screen... If the yellow goes away after a day or two the adhesive needed to cure. It's happened with other devices
Put it side by side with my Nexus 6. Apparently the Nexus 6 screen is super yellow, never noticed. The 6P is MUCH whiter. Looks great.
Ask Google if you should return it. I've seen some complains around about yellowish screens. During the reviews one thing that was pointed out was precisely the opposite, with the 6P having a much cooler screen than the 5X, way more to the blue (cool) than to the warm (yellow) whites.
A bit strange you find the opposite.

So its not likely that I need to return the phone?

I bought it from Carphonewarehouse (UK) so I may speak to them!
Pink not Yellow
Mine's got a pinkish hue at certain angles, but no yellow. Have come from an S4, which has a much whiter screen. Changing to sRGB gets rid of the pink hue but gives ghastly washed out colours instead. Guess we have to wait for some kind of tuning facility.
I'm very disappointed in the screen calibration. The 6p has the same pixel dimensions as the Nexus 6 with the 6p having slightly more pixels per inch. When I play a youtube video side by side the 6p looks terrible!!! Especially since during the keynote they said they worked really hard to get the colors right on the screen calibration. I hope this can be fixed with a software update. I might be returning mine.

It does seem like the calibration is off compared with my old HTC one m7. However I just compared my 6p to a mates nexus 6 screen and his is a lot more yellow than mine! So that's made me feel a bit better.
Hopefullythis can be fixed on the software side!

I too have the pinkish hue but I have come use to this on amoled displays. Every single phone I've had with a amoled display has had a pinkish hue. So either I'm very unlucky and keep getting device after device with a bad screen, or I have eagle eyes and I can see it when others can't.. haha Some times people do not notice it. I think it really has to do with your eyes. If they are sensitive enough to see it. For example. I work for Swappa and me and my co-worker both had the international version of the Droid Turbo(The Moto Maxx) I had asked him if he noticed a pink hue, he said no he did not.. When we met in person I saw it right away. While it wasn't as pronounced as it was on my device, it was still there. He didn't see it.
Last night I was chatting with Derek Ross from phandroid and I showed him a pic of my 6p screen.. I saw pink..he said it looked fine to him.. lol I still might order a replacement just to see if the next one is like that.

I am using a screen filter app now and it seems to fix the screen so I'm pretty happy!

Store bought or online?
I'd go there indeed. If they have stock they should replace it.
Saw below you tuned it with an app (which?) but that may not be a permanent solution.

It's called MOBTI screen filter. I just put it to like 15-19% opacity and only had the blue halfway, a tiny bit or red, no green and it feels a lot better. Obvs its a temp solution, but it shows it can be fixed by software changes!
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..
Need some advice, I am coming from an iPhone 6 to an S5, I notice on the S5 the whites aren't bright white like they are on the iPhone, its got a slight yellowish tone to it. Is this normal or what happens with Amoled compared to iPhone
Having never owned an iPhone I can't comment about differences.....
Did you buy the S5 new?
If not, then yes, seeing a yellowish tint on the screen is fairly normal, I've owned 2 devices with an amoled screen (S2 & S5) and both started out with great looking screen colours.....but both, over time, began to aquire this yellow tint. (My wife has a Note 4, and the tint *and* burn in on her screen is horrendous) There are apps on the play store that *claim* to be able to sort it out.....but they are ineffective at best.
The way I see it is you have 2 choices....
1) you learn to live with it.
2) you replace the screen and wait for it to happen again.

As you know Galaxy S6 and other old smartphones with AMOLED displays have one big problem and that is uneven color temperature aka. yellow tint aka. green tint. I have the same problem with my Galaxy S7 edge. When I open one website with white background I can clearly see that white on the right part of the screen is darker than white on left part of the screen. I replaced 2 screens and every screen have this problem. But I am 100% sure that there are screens which have even color temperature. It sux that you have to be lucky to get S7 edge with good display.
My question is...is there any app (I don't care if it is an app with ROOT need) which can change color temperature only on some parts of the screen? I am sure that this problem could be fixed with an app. I have an app Screen Balance and this app really nicely improve white color on my screen. On my phone white color was at first more yellowish but now it is a lot like it should be because of this app. But main problem still exists - on the right part of the screen white color is more darker.
Thank you guys.
Nobody knows?
There's an app for tweaking colour temperature, and it is without root. But to solve the problem that makes your phone's colour temperature uneven, I'm sorry, I don't know that..
Never heard of anything that does what you require.
....
Just as it says. I think its settings on phones needing to be changed. Post here if you get one with the red hue.
Perfectly white here
Mine has the pinkish screen. Can't do a screen shot now because it's transferring my data from me s7 edge.

Now if they just tell you what to use to re-calibrate the screen we should be fine. I have pinkish and a bluish/green on the edges.
Get mine tonight. Are you all that have pink eye from a specific Carrier???
I'm kind of hoping I have a slight red or warm display. Your eyes adjust quickly to it and it's much easier on your eyes at night.

Mine isn't. Is pink when you look from lower than strength angel. It's pretty nasty.
In settings / Display/ Screen Mode - Adaptive Display is default setting. My screen is white as long as that is enabled. If I go to one of the other settings then I get the red tint.
The color calibration only works in Adaptive Display. In the other settings you can't click it, it's grayed out.
I'm fine in adaptive display so it's not a issue for me but it still doesn't explain why it's there in the first place.
Edit: Go to your brightness and put it all the way up and then back down...Seems like it took it away somewhat. Maybe it might be my eyes lying to me I dunno.
I have red tint. Restarted phone and most went away not it's just on the edges.
