Hello i just bought s10+ well o had s9 plus, i dont see any differences.. only the colour of the screen is kinda purple why?
I tried to change the white balance nothing changed
Anyone?
Please?
I mean when I change point of view while watching my phone it's kinda purple :/ does anyone notice such a thing?
if there is a screen protector remove it.
There should not be any purple tinge. Did you buy the phone new? If not check that the finger sensor works, as it might be a after market screen. If it's new, then return it.

No, have never seen any amoled screen do this. Usually a tn panel shows this type of behaviour. Does the in screen finger print reader work?

It could be 2 things if you see like pink/purple coloring on screen especially on white background that's burn in
Another thing s9+ that i had under display there used to be an option in screen mode i can't remember the name i think it was called Cool or something that gave the screen than pinkish purple hue
Fingerprint working fine
He said he didnt change any screen and we would tell me
Also he had many positive feedbacks on the site that i purchased it
Might be something with purple or red colour settings
:/ Dont know..

Please help! I just bought the Bell galaxy s 2 today and realised that in low brightness settings screen has a pink tint.
Does anyone have this issue? Its more visible in grey colors. When i compare with my galaxy s, galaxy s' whites are true white and galaxy s 2's white are pinkish tint on it. When the brihhtness is at %100 its not that visible but once u set it %0 it becomes pinkish.
Is it what it suppose to be or its defective?
Note: yes i played with background effect but it didnt help. I am running KG2.
Edit: I compared with galaxy s again and if I make the brightness %100 on galaxy s 2 both screens almost identical (although SGS2 still has little warm whites) but at %0 brightness when I pull down the notification screen sgs2 has literally pink hue
Why not anyone comment on this? 100 something views and no comments?
U guys all have sgs2. pls at least share your phone's display colors so I can know if something is wrong with mine.
Yep got it to and also pink on camera also mine going back to Amazon tomorrow had two in a week with same problem Ive got one ordered from another retailer ... but I think its a inherent fault

Are you saying your whole screen looks rather pinkish ? I've seen couple of devices that were pretty much reddish when showing white, but i think that's not normal. You should replace it.

Yes whole screen has a reddish tint. Especially grey colors. Instead of grey it displays reddish. If i compare Gmail app with Sgs side by side, my screen has ridiculously pink color.
I wonder if its a software issue or hardware? Cuz I remember in sgs hardcore's kernel he made an.option to change the colors.
This is my second sgs2. First one had a dead pixel. So I didnt wanna go right away and change it. I wanted to ask yours.
More input will appreciated.
I uploaded a pic SGS and SGS2 side by side displaying Grey Graident Colors. what do you think?
If your phone looks like the one on the right, get it replaced. No rom/firmware will make it look good.

I'd take the lack or response to mean that it's not a problem experienced by many people. If your read the threads talking about the display, you'll see there's wide variations in color temperature. Cool/blue seems to be normal while there are reports of phones leaning toward warm/yellow. Pink hasn't been reported a lot so I'd exchange the phone.

I am also from India and I dont have any such problem with my sgs2...
My girlfriend and I have the same german sgs2 (dbt) and mine has a bit of a greenish tint whereas hers had a but if a reddish tint. You can't notice it when using the phones alone but when you put them side by side you can notice it a little bit, but really not that much. Seems to be an AMOLED thing. Maybe I'll manage to take a photo for you.

Thanks a lot for that image. I have been wondering what people were talking about when they mentioned pinkish screen...
Luckily I don't seem to have that problem. It seems like there are a few defective screens out there.
perhaps supercurio will have a voodoo colour fix with the sgs2 whenever he releases it. It fixed the tinge on the original sgs. Look it up if u are unfamiliar with it
I changed the phone today and got a new one. Its better now and significany less pink color.
Also I discovered something that the pink tint is only visible when u look at the screen 90 degrees. If u tilt the phone a little (5-10 degrees) to left-right or up-down and view like that the color turns normal (like my year old sgs).
It made me realise that this is a screen coating issue (maybe coating causes polarisation). So do u think this will go away with the time of use?
When I turn off the screen and check it under light by tilting I can see a little purple glare.
What do u think?
I've got a stupid pink tint at the very bottom of the screen and I've had 2 exchanges of the HTC One before exchanging for the GS4 and the network find it hard to believe I've had 3 faulty devices in a row and wont exchange it. Anyways I canceled my direct debit and told my bank not to allow anything from them until they sort it but It's just bloody annoying.
The Three Ones I went through all looked like this http://s16.postimg.org/rz4843lud/image.png and now my GS4 has a pink tint at the bottom, lol, I swear phones are getting worse.
Can't say whether it is h/w or s/w - I know mine doesn't seem to have it ... or it's not obvious enough if it has
But I would recommend not cancelling the DD as it will probably have consequences on your credit rating. Phone companies don't care about you cancelling it as they will get their £££
Does yours have ghosting? When I scroll up and down in menus I notice like the blue bars on the edges of them it changes to a darker colour, you can see it struggling to keep up, even see the old text through the blue bars.

It's commonly known as screen smearing, and we have a workaround for that

My GNex had the pink, and my S4 whilst not pink had a noticeable difference between the top and bottom of the screen. Darker at the top than the bottom.
Had it exchanged yesterday... new device is perfect, just waiting for Samsung to sort the laggy TouchWiz out.
Yeh they wont exchange mine saying I've had too many....... stop sending me faulty phones then.
Anyways wont pay them anything until they sort it.
Just noticed the purplish smearing on dark menus,
Also pinkish blue when popping in and out of the keyboard

I have the same thing, pink tint at the bottom when viewing under lighter backgrounds, it's pretty bad, gonna take it back to my carrier and try to get it exchanged.

Thanks for the response sir. Yes, I've checked your fix methods, tried the first two, but none of them worked. I think I don't have any smearing issue, rather I've a pink tint at the bottom of my screen. So, the upper 3/4 part of the screen is bright, and lower 1/4 part is dark (pink/purple tint). It seems, its a hardware issue, tho i'm running dead pixels app (from play store), which says, it will take 30mins. It is still running, but I guess replacing phone seems to be the only option.

Yeah, thanks for that. I even flashed latest Russian LP rom just to confirm it wasn't some software issue, but even on this ROM, I'm having pink tint at bottom which looks very bad. Anyway, will take my phone to repair center tomorrow, hope they see it clearly, and replace my phone
lol. is my screen has 2 colors ? " lower half is greenish/blue while top is pink? lol
is this normal ?
when i view gray wallpaper for example. or a white background during reading whatever, i noticed my screen has 2 colors. the lower is half is greenish while the top is pinkish
however, my screen doesnt have umm. any blotches " is this the correct word ? " you know.. when you put a black wallpaper on a dark room.. you dont see those deep black spots... i have none... i have them on my vita though lol.
oh yeah and no grid matrix or weird lines visible either.
just the screen kinda has 2 colors. or pink smearing on top. not sure ^_^
get a replacement there is a workaround for the pink but green :/

what is the workaround for the pink ?
the green isnt really green. its like... normal i guess. but it look greenish /blueish compared to the top one.
also. i just wanted to know if the pinkish top is a normal thing.
you never see an amoled screen without blotches. and those kill me as i am a very OCD " i mean hey, one of the reasons i bought the damn thing is because of its screen. so no blotches is a very wow lucky me kinda thing
it was a screen program i don't remember by playing with the settings it made the pink a little green so it was better but since u already have green it would pop up more so i think a replacement would be better

um.. no . lol i guess you are missing my point. what i am trying to say is when i am viewing a solid gray wallpaper for example. the upper corner seems different in color than say.. the second half. like the upper part of the screen is lil darker / pinkish while the lower part is brighter / bluer ?

I had the same problem, except the pink on mine is on the bottom, and it's not much of a fade, so it is very noticeable. On program apps like gmail, it is annoying. I took it back to my barrier and got a replacement, and the new one is fine.
If you can take it back, take it back. Or it'll bug you for a long while

Anyone else experiencing this??? It looks weird almost like it's a lag or something but it's not. It's like a legit pinkish type tint when scrolling. Am I gonna have to return my device ALREADY?!?! I literally just bought it 4 hrs ago -___-
EDIT: OK so I'm informed this is called "smearing" and that's the perfect word to describe it. Only happens in the settings, looks like the words are lagging behind my scroll and catch up lol. Is there a work around for it or something? Even though there shouldn't have to be but that'd be nice i I didn't hafta go through the process again of getting a new phone a day after I got this lol.
If you mean in the settings, that's normal. That's screen smearing/ghosting. Explanation is in this video here http://youtu.be/C_APG3kLiYs around 13:30.
The pink tint issue is another thing.

Yes, it only appears in the settings that it "smears" as you call it, yeah actually smearing is a way better word to describe it, not a different tint. Is it on every S4 that this is happening, or is it a defect in only a small % of S4's? And is there a workaround for it?
Also, what is the "pink tint issue"?
Thanks!

It's the software. I've heard of the pink tint but haven't read up on it. I heard the smashing affect is cleared up on the new update we might get but that could just be talk.

Yes. Every S4. There is a work around. But it takes away from the screen by messing with the gamma. The pink tint issue is when part of your screen is darker than the other. Like my S4 is dark at the bottom and gets lighter as it goes up like a gradient. Like this picture http://i.imgur.com/9jhVEnr.jpg or this http://i.imgur.com/DhryGwg.png
It's more noticeable on grey screens.

Actually now that I see it. I notice it on every settings menu with a dark interface. Doesn't happen on lighter screens, only the black screens really.

The smearing will only happen in dark settings yes. It has to do with unused pixels. Like the video I posted before explains. If you don't have a pink gradient issue then you're all good. If it does I'd get it exchanged asap before you're stuck with it like me.

Look at a solid dark grey background. If its darker on one side that's bad. I noticed mine when I was texting everytime I pulled the keyboard up the text bubbles changed colors a bit.
Hey guys, I think I have a defective screen. Can you guys please check yours out and let me know if this is normal?
On the bottom about third of my screen it is a shade darker than the top two thirds. Please install this app and look at the white and lighter color screens and let me know if yours is the same.

Yeah if my screen looked like that I'd throw the phone over the counter at the store! :laugh:
Looks like it was drawn with the quill of a turkey feather dipped in pig's blood. Carrie would not be thrilled over this.
I cant see anything wrong with the photo. Maybe its my laptop screen but if your screen is slightly darker maybe its just adhesive that hasnt fully cured. Alot of times we create problems with our devices by nitpicking every little thing. Enjoy the phone an leave the little things alone.
I see nothing wrong
I do not see anything
I'm sorry guys, I forgot to clarify something. The screenshot with the red line is just showing where I noticed the darker part of my screen. It was from the red line down. And it wouldn't show up on my screenshot since it was a hardware issue.
Anyhow, I exchanged the phone and this one is fine.
Thanks!
