Hello everyone!
I'm new here, this is my first post.
I just received my Nubia Z17 lite from Geekbuying and I was very excited for the edge to edge screen, but now I'm a little dissapointed. It seems that at the side edges the colors are distorted, it looks like rainbow colors. This can be noticed best on a white background (the most prominent color on the edge seems to be green).
It's very annoying and distracting.
Does anyone else have this problem? Is it a feature? This question applies also to normal Z17 users.
Thank you!
Seems like it's normal since this isn't a true curved display it's uses some clever light bending to get the edge to edge look and curve. I have the Z17 and I can only see the rainbow at very hard and exact angles but the distortion can be seen at any angle
My Z17 Lite has the same "issue", it's completely normal.
Rainbow colors
It seems that this issue is different from phone to phone. On my phone the rainbow colors are visible from almost every angle, even when looking straight. It kind of ruins the edge to edge screen, instead of having black bezels it has rainbow lines . I want to replace mine but with the Chinese New Year, Geekbuying is slow to respond.

Ok well I would like to get peoples feedback and opinions on their screens.
My story. Broke my GNote II instead of paying to replace LCD decided to upgrade with my carrier.
First Note 3 I bought was bright with nice whites and great viewing angles. But it has the dreaded pinkinsh purple screen tint issue in the lower 3rd of the screen more so on the right side. This is subtle and is less evident in brighter conditions or higher screen brightness. At low brightness and in dark environments it is particularly visible on white and grey backgrounds. Went to store to exchange and they refused given they could not see the defect. I came online here searched around and it seems this has been an issue on the GS4 and people have mentioned it on the new Note 3.
Convinced my carrier to send me a replacement and I will return the original to them. Well got the replacement 3-4 days ago. The unit seems quite different. First off the screen is overall a bit more yellow at face on viewing angles and perhaps a hair less bright at similar settings though hard to tell. The bottom is not color shifted puple. The screen color is more homogenous. However the viewing angles are completely different. Here while the brightness stays goo dlike the first when angling the screen, the colors shift to a more aqua color with minor angle variation. (guessing 20-30*) whereas the original unit has virtually no color shift at almost 90*.
I probably have to send back a unit in the coming day or 2 and make a final decision. In theory I could try to ask for a third model, however it was with a lot of difficulty and threats to leave my carrier that they relented in the first replacement. SO I likely will have to stick with one of these or return both and use my somewhat broken note 2 and wait for something else.
I am wondering if any of you out here have similar pink/purple tint issues at one end of your screen. Or if you have issues with significant white color shift when angling your screen more than 30* in either portrait or landscape. Also if good or bad can you check build date on your phone (should be under battery). FInally did you or will you replace it? Was replacement better or worse?
Also if in my shoes would you go for the better looking screen with the pink issue or the more consistent looking screen that is a bit more blue yellow.
Thanks!
lots of postings about this, i even made a thread regarding this:

some people call it nitpicking, but as you can see i'm feeling with you...

I know you did and I posted some long posts there and the thread kind of died.
I have some specific questions here as well as asking what I should do in my case.
I had a note 2 and remember there being perseus kernel and with STweaks one could shift color etc and make it how you like. I am thinking going with the more uniform color model as I am sure the slight yellow tint can be corrected and the blue tint on viewing angles is no worse than my note 2 looking back so I will get used to it I imagine. That said the first screen really has great screen but the purplish pink right bottom corner bugs me on white and grey screens ( not noticeable on high brightness though) and often reading on websites etc indoors I notice it enough that it bugs me.....
So for anyone who cares here is an update on my plan. The more uniform note 3 is more yellow/green tinted whites compared to the other one that is whiter/redder. That said if I use one of these screen filter style apps that exist in the play store, I can modify the overall screen into however I like.
Downside is that it means a persistently running app to do it with whatever effect on screen longevity and battery.
Now on my Note 2 which is also yellower, I was running perseus kernel and the s tweaks app and was able at the kernel level to modify the color to get better whites. I imagine it is only a matter of time before someone can do that for our note 3. I can handle the viewing angle color shift as the device is in my hand and not on a table when i use it where it might be off angle viewing by a large amount. And even then, the tinting of white has a bluish shift and now worse than a yellowing shift my wifes iphone has off angle or my note 2 did.
Would love tohear from others and what their screens are like and or developers who might have the means of modifying color at kernel level the way Andreilux did on the note 2
I checked almost 10 note 3s bkack n white as well..and found only 1 set.it has no yellow tint and no gray lining.

You checked 13 notes and 12 of them were either yellow tint or what gray lining issue?
How did you manage to check so many.
Can you check the following. Look at the phone screen face on the tilt either up down or side to side about 30 degrees and tell me if the white on the screen turns bluish.
One of my phones does this and has the yellower whites. The other does not and has better whites but has some purplish discoloration in the lower right part of the phone.
Any one here try a new kernel from the android development sections?
Some of them talk about being able to modify screen color. Am wondering if this can be a fix for my issues.
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.

Hello,
I just got my OnePlus 5, and everything seems to be perfect. I don't really mind the Jelly Effect.
But, after using Discord (Dark Theme), I noticed that the Bottom Left side of the screen and parts of the left side of the screen are more Darker/Purple than the Top Right/Right Side.
This is mostly visible in apps that have a Dark Theme, using a shade of Black or Gray. With light colors, I can not see the discoloration. It becomes very apparent when having the brightness on its lowest and Night Mode on.
Also, this is the first time I've used an AMOLED phone, so maybe its just me, not the screen. I also think it might be the pre-applied screen protector, not sure.
I doubt it will somehow fix itself. So you either live with it or RMA it and get a new one.
Such things usually happen with usage. My old S4 has a similar issue, where the top of the screen is darker than the bottom. It's hardly noticeable though.
Seems like its an issue with the AMOLED panel, there is a thread about on the OnePlus Forums:
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/hows-your-screen-tone-brightness-uniformity.453457/
The OnePlus 3/3T had this issue too, I'm not surprised the OnePlus 5 has it because it uses the same panel.
Having green, purple(or in some extreme cases both) tints on oled screens happen every now and then & sometimes green patterns appear in dark gray backgrounds. I had a severe case of purple tint at the bottom on my first OP3 & upon RMA screen replacement I got a screen that still had some purple tint on the right side & also grays looked absolutely terrible.
How often does this happen with the Oneplus5? What are my odds to get a good one? I'm considering the OP5 vs. the G6, but the G6 is actually cheaper, so I really want to get a good screen, if I pay more for this one.
I've been to almost every Facebook group of OP5 and I didn't see aby complaints about the screen.
Hi everyone
Last week I ordered the ZTE Axon 7, and upon arrival a green spot around 1/3d of the screen size is visible in the center. The screen here is slightly greener than the edges of the screen. It's only really visible on white and grey, but browsing websites with this is fairly annoying because the spot is visible all the time.
In other colors however the screen appears quite uniform.
So I returned the first Axon 7 and traded it in for a new one, but this one has a green spot as well. It looks to be about equal, maybe a little bit smaller. Is this normal for these phones? Did I lose the OLED lottery twice in a row?

I guess you lost twice in a row, yes. Maybe a third time? :silly:
I've never seen any imperfections on the screen save for some segments that were almost imperceptibly darker than others. I (barely) saw them on a completely dark room, with the brightness at minimum and displaying a dark grey background. so yeah, i dunno what happened to you
@ a tiny ant,
can you post the screenshot? With a clear screenshot I can help you solve this problem, thanks!
