My screen has a red tint on about 3/4 of the screen which is a replacement phone. The first phone gave me the same issue. Verizon refuses to replace my phone so I'm stuck with it. I have ocd so it drives me crazy. Plus I bought the phone with 1 big factor being the beautiful screen which I now hate. Is there any way I could put a screen filter over that 1/4 of the screen to match the slight red tint so it doesn't druve me nuts? ? Thanks.

Search did not reveal any post with this particular screen defect.
The phone is a collegue's of mine so I can't troubleshoot it directly or tell you baseband etc. It's brand new, 4.2.2, and a 4G so probably i9505 (bought in europe, sweden). It has not been droppped, collegue would have said if this was the case . What collegue told me was it was like this when collegue got it.
Sometimes screen becomes blue, but only parts of it. You can see this clearly on the attached photos. It's most promient on white areas, which are not white at all, but, well, blue!
Especially note the partial blueness of Whatsapp icon borders.
Screen lock is being used, blue tint appears on lockscreen as well.
Could not isolate when this occurs. I did not experiment much with the giroscope, don't think that's it. I also seem to recall viewing angle not making a difference. I did have it in my possesion for 30 min, during which the blue tint did not occur. Auto brightess was already off, took brightness down 2 or 3 notches. This is what I changed in settings -> display:
Screen mode: standard
Auto adjust screen tone: off
options that should not be relevant
Screen timeout -> 5 min
Wifi -> off
After this I gave it back to collegue, about 10 minutes went by, collegue took phone out of pocket and activated screen. Now the blue tint was back. At this time I took the attached photos a well as did as screenshot capture, which is not attached, but the blue tint was present there as well. It looked exactly the same as the actual OS/what I had seen with my eyes.
Device was a this time lieing on a flat surface.
I told my collegue to turn in the device for another one, but collegue would rather try/hear about/research a DIY- solution first.
Is this a common defect? Is it sw or hw? Can it be fixed? Etc...

edit: it seems to occur when the phone's screen has been turned off for a couple of minutes. Yesterday I unlocked device after being dormant for some hours, blue tint was there. Screen timed out by itself and when I unlocked blue tint was not present. Waited 4 min then unlocked, and sure enough blue was back. Turning on-off screen solved it once again. Also tried repeatedly locking-unlocking without blue tint reappaering.
Got this Nexus 7 as a gift yesterday from a relative who received it from their employer. Since hes a roughneck in the oil industry he doesn't really have time to play with fancy tech toys so I got a nice toy to play with myself.
There was an odd issue since the first time I turned the tablet on. There is one line of stuck or what I'd like to call inverted pixels right above the home bar on the device between the bar itself and the remainder of the display on the screen. Its like its separated by one line of pixels. If I rotate the device the line stays in its original position. I call these pixels inverted as they are black when the screen is white and white when the screen is black for example. Tried a couple of those stuck pixel apps. No dice.
Any ideas?
Hey guys. Its been a while now i'm using this phone. I gotta admit i give a hard time on the phone's battery (charging cycle that is, i dnt let it fully charge and all). But I can't avoid that.
Anyways. I have this issue:
When a GRAY background is displayed on the phone, (like on a white webpage, when the keyboard is opened) i notice these VERTICAL BANDINGS/GRADIENTS on the screen
They appear on the left and the right sides (1 cm or so from the end of the display).
I also notice the horizontal banding/gradient half a centimeter below the status bar but its REALLLLYYY subtle.
My prediction?
Remember i said i give my battery a hard time? Well to be its the battery pushing the display from the back (probably swelled the poor guy lol) and giving this.
Why do i think this?
Well because
The banding lies EXACTLY where the left and right edges of the battery might probably be
IMPORTANT ASWELL: When i put a pressure on the display, the glass PUSHES the display (and creates those lovely watery ripples) ON THE SAME EDGES WHERE THE BANDING EXISTS.
Extra info: It might be a backlit problem, since its not present at any brightness level on any colour. Red blue green orange pink black purple, even gray(the banding is where the backlit dims)
So yeah thanks for reading it im sure u'll do something abt this.
I cant seem to take it in any camera these defect (i have no DSLR lulz). :3
Buy a new battery and change it before it explodes.
Hello all,
After my phone got repaired 2 times for the same reason i want to know if other people experience this issue too?? It is most noticeable on black/blue screens.. Turns red/yellowish.. Now i have to send my phone for a third repair... Would it also be possible to just receive my money back?
Seems like the screen of this device is really really bad..
What turns red/yellowish? I am having my phone repaired right now cause I do see a reddish blurry dot on the screen when viewing video or black backgrounds.
Screen is on multiple spots discoloured on darker colours like black or blue. On those spots the colour is yellow/red where it should be the right colour.
I got that too, today, it weirded me out. The screen went full yellow tinted, and turning the screen off and on didn't do anything. So I restarted, but everything is fine now. But what about later ? Will it appear again ?
Hi
The last Samsung phone I had was a note 3,after a couple of months very light use it inexplicably developed a black screen,it still had full sound,hardware button lights still worked,it still vibrated and the blue notification light was still present,the screen was just black though.
I wouldn't mind if I'd dropped it or something,but I'm ocd with my tech,and the phone had hardly been used...yet the screen problem happened,I swore I'd never get another Samsung.
But....I do like the look of the s7 edge lol,so I'm wondering if there are any reported problems like black screen?
Thanks for any advice given.
