yellowish screen depending on screen content - OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers

Hello,
Sometimes (very rare) my screen becomes yellowish like in reading mode or night mode.
Finally I can reproduce this issue visiting https://www.notebookcheck.net/ when I go to any other website my screen becomes normal. It happens sometimes on youtube app. I tried disabling DC, switching full hd 60 fps.
Do you have this issue too?
IN2023 Oxygen OS 10.5.13 IN11BA

Disable comfort tone in display settings.

comfort tone is disabled and the video enhancements too

Not seen it on my device. Unless like you said I have night mode on....

Same is happening to me. It seems to be only when using Chrome and after the latest Chrome update.

Does Chrome have it's own eye comfort setting?
Can't see that but y never know with Google.

I tried take screenshot or record screen but the image and video are normal. Tomorrow I will record a film with another phone.

For solving this problem you need to go in chrome flags and deselect #dynamic color gamut

Thanks! I had the same problem and was fiddling with the Oneplus display settings to no avail, but this resolved the issue.

I enabled Vibrant Color Effect and had the issue of screen turning yellowish for like 2 seconds when opening certain apps. I now haven't really noticed it in the past few days..
I have AUTOHZ installed too which forces certain apps to run at 120hz..

Thank you! This has been driving me nuckin futs. Thought there was something wrong with my screen.

I have the same issue. The dynamic color gamut fixed the yellow screen in Chrome, but it still happens in other apps (YouTube app when watching HDR, and Slide a Reddit app). OnePlus is just ignoring this issue.

System colors output fails

Well, I suppose I'm not the first, but still I hope this is fixed. There are parts of system especially menus and gradients which are rendered terribly. This is a software bug, since everywhere else, colours are rendered fine. I have screenshots attached. Is there a fix for this? Thanks

You are really complaining about the color of icons on system menus?

no, if you look closely at the grey background on system menus you will notice it isnt a flat or evenly graded colour, down the middle is a line, the best way i can think of to describe it is its like an oil spot on a dark shirt, its not always noticeable but its there.
Exactly, thanks!

Seconded! And I was beginnig to think there was something wrong with my device. Yesterday I noticed a slight discoloration when looking closely at the popu menu backgrounds (like the one when you attempt to install a downloaded apk file). It appears in the right part of the box. It looks a bit like a hand, a splash of liquid but with sharp edges. When I rotate the screen horizontally the shape keeps being rendered in the same part of the menu and retains its shape. Curiously enough when I examined menus in other parts of the OS the pattern was different, more blockish. I think it will be hard to photograph so check your tablets guys. The screen on my device is otherwise fine so it must be software related.
I don't recognize what menu you are on, but on mine settings/apps shows no background blur like that. Manual lighting, 50 percent.

It's export menu in dropbox. In that link, it was shot in I think, notification ringtone menu.

No fair blaming Google for an app problem. There are a million ways Dropbox could have messed that up.
Can you give me an instance that only involves Google apps? Like maybe in Google drive?

Any system dialog box. Go to settings and set a "notification tone" in the dialog box where you select the sound you can see horrible artifacts that look like dark gray mountains
That and set any gray gradient as a wallpaper and you'll see horrible banding

OK... I went to Settings / Sound / Default Notification.
Then it gives me a choice of apps to use to browse to a sound. I chose Media Storage (the only Google one).
Now I have a list of tones and checkboxes, with a gray background. Brightness manual, 50%.
Holding the screen straight on, and tilting to look straight across I see no gradient or artifacts at any angle. Amazing off-axis range...
Anything else I can try, or is my device just "different"?
I have those gradients too, funny its not reproducible on all devices

Stock 4.2.
Not currently rooted - root makes multi-user unusable for me. Root Manager has it "temporarily unrooted".
I don't have a gradient background to try. That notifications panel is an even gray. No gradient.
Bump up the brightness to 100% you will surely see it if it is there. I just updated to 4.2.1 and it is still here. This update in fact broke my Android Beam, I can no longer send images from my Nexus S to Nexus 7 like I could on 4.2

[Q] Screen Mode: Standard VS Professional Photo?

I've been trying out Professional Photo mode for awhile now but it just seems yellow-ish.
Standard seems to be okay.
Does anyone else have similar issues?
I was told that Professional Photo mode is more color-accurate

That mode has a larger colour space meant for certain professional photo apps. For movies, and everyday normal life use Movie mode. If you like exaggerated colours go for one of the other options.

Adapt Display Yes.

I use a Black Background on my Homescreen with White Text (DashClock) and it looks yellowish in either Pro Photo Mode or Movie Mode
I have tried professional photo as well, but somehow went back to standard mode. But for reading books, professional mode is nice as the screen looks warmer.

Weird, I use Ocean HD (beautiful live wallpaper) mostly since I got mine on a charger 90% of the time and discharge it fully every 2-4 weeks. Maybe I forgot to mention a setting or it is a defect of some kind (software or hardware).
Worst case you could reset your phone to default and immediately set it to Movie mode to see if your clean phone already has these problems. Hope you get this resolved soon, and by simple means.

maybe it is something wrong with my eyes. Standard is definitely more blue whereas Pro Photo and Movie are more warm in color.
there's a switch when I reboot my phone from Blue hue to warm.

Yes, after a reboot it starts at a default screen mode setting and after a couple of seconds it checks your settings and then changes it. I noticed this an hour or so ago on my Note 3.

The default is Adapt Display, which on your homescreen exaggerates colours, so my blue underwater Ocean HD screen looks even more blue. It switches to 'normal' blue.
I just checked some more settings, but are you by any chance using Power saving mode or any of those other fancy settings? Having owned 7 Samsung Galaxy devices by now I always immediately make a round through all settings and switch off everything that is useless (to me). I hate stuff like auto-brightness, which may be great in a car if you use the phone hands free.

hmm I use power savings mode but only Limit CPU and Disable Haptic Feedback. I unchecked Auto Adjust Screen Tone too (it supposedly saves power)
Do you use Lux to adjust brightness?
hmm. mine is a black background with just DashClock in White Text. it gets a little yellowish.
In Standard. it is like mint white.

I would disable Power savings etc. for now to see if it helps. I remember some option with "Lux" in it, but really I just disabled Auto-brightness and adjust the brightness level in the notification panel.

I gave it a try before but it still looks kinda warm/yellow. it is not like there is a yellow tint/screen but the screen just looks warmer.
I've actually never seen an Amoled with Perfect white color.. always a bit to the warm side..
I tried both Movie and professional mode, don't like them at all more yellowish/greenish on the white
especially when comparing it to an IPS LCD screen... then the NOTE 3 is very warm and a tiny bit greenish on white (standard mode) only really visible when side by side with example LG G2...
But then on the LG G2 skin tones looks a bit pale, and with to blueish/cold
so it comes down to what you prefer
I'm a bit torn between them... but when it comes down to choosing I think i prefer the Note 3 screen...
Remember NOTHING IS PERFECT

Cm12s ISSUES

I have noticed minor issues cyanogen 12s issues on the ONEPLUS ONE. Anyone with issue can can report them here. Hopefully everyone here has a work around or modification to fix the issue.

I'm occasionally seeing the lockscreen flash up when turning the screen off.
Also, if there's a way to disable the lockscreen transparency I'd be interested to hear it - it looks rubbish.

color os camera problem
It worked perfectly on kitkat .
After updating to lollipop (official update) cm 12s , it seems to show some problem.
I can't see any live preview of the effects. It just shows the normal camera without any effects. But after I click, the picture comes with effect. So its just a problem about the live preview of the effects. Has anyone else experienced this problem ? Plz help me.
The now infamous two halves in pictures with flash are still there. I wonder if the community could extract the camera driver from oxygenOS kernel sources (when OP will finally release them) and use them, since it doesn't happen on that ROM.

I think the lockscreen flashing after the screen turns off is a lollipop thing. I noticed it when I had a nexus 5 and upgraded to 5.0. I think I noticed it out of the corner of my eye so to speak, after I had set my phone down and the screen timed out, thought it flickered/flashed but that's just the screen off animation now.
Still playing around with all the settings to see what's new (and removed) and noticed:
No longer have the ability to configure the auto-brightness settings which I actually quite liked in 11S if for no other reason that I could set the auto brightness for low light down to 0% (instead of the, what... 5% normal setting?).
Screen Color calibration wouldn't work and crashed the settings app (screen went black and I couldn't get back into settings). A reboot seems to have fixed it.
The settings app may just be buggy as it crashed again when trying to access Developer Options (screen went black and required a reboot).
EDIT: Couldn't sign into my Cyanogen account but that could be a problem on Cyanogen's side as it didn't recognize my account.
Still seems like there are a lot of new things to try and there are more options than Oxygen OS.
Switching profiles:
from owner to guest: Cyanogenmod-log crashes
from guest to owner: code to unlock phone isn't shown and no matter what you type, it always incorrect. Fixed by rebooting

no problem like yours.
but there's no led notification (when lock and screen on) only ambient flashed-up display.
i do agree that autobrightness is not working like in cm11s.
But, i do have those problems after flashing from stock cm11s 05Q and via bootloader with fastboot image from the cyngn.
And cm12s from cm11s is have this kind of lagging typing/touching to be compared if you were flashing from cm12/cm12.1, strange indeed.
I'm back on nightlies. CM12S ain't for me, thought OxygenOS was better
Lags on interactive governor
Hi guys, did you notice any lags on interactive governor in games ? It lags on cm11s too, I thought that they will fix it in today released cm12s. It didn't happen before brick of my phone, since unbrick and flash of cm11s, games are lagging so much on interactive governor. Do you know how to fix that without any change of governor, hotplug or profiles ? Thanks a lot.
Com. Google. Gapps. Continual fc so rapid about impossible use phone.. Back to O2 for now which is very smooth
All of you with issues, did you dirty flash or wipe first? it DOES matter...

The same problem. When in dark and I scroll down the screen seems flashing.
With Oneplus one it was less noticeable
I haven't noticed anything of the sort just yet and I read a lot of ebooks at night in the dark.

Orange Hue on Screen Recordings - with all Apps - Help?

I came across a weird issue: No matter what App I'm trying, all screen recordings have an orange hue. I've tested with DU Recorder, AZ Screen Recorder and Game Screen Recorder. The results I'm getting are all like this (recorded the play store - you know, that should be white and green):
https://streamable.com/2spod
Is there a solution for this issue?
Is there an app that does not record with an orange hue on the Axon 7?
(Apart from that, even when recording in fixed portrait mode, the videos always end up being horizontal. I'm looking for a solution for that as well.)
EDIT: The issue was not the color settings of the screen in "Screen effect" as I was assuming. Turns out the "Night Light" setting (set on always on) was the culprit.
I hope this info helps others running into the same issue.
When you're not recording can you see the orange hue? If yes, then it might be LiveDisplay or some other screen filtering app that reduces blue color. If not then I'm not sure.
No, I can't see the orange hue when not recording - but I found the solution. See original post.

What ROM are you on? It's odd as Night Light should be adjusting the colour of the display rather than the system interface. At least you could turn it off and use a third party custom kernel KCAL based colour mod like CF.lumen, Lux Auto Brightness or F.lux to name a few.

I'm on standard "ZTA A2017GV1.2.0B10".
Well, it's also odd that the recordings were a lot more orange than what to me still looked pretty white on the original screen. Anyways... I just turn it off before recording now and back on afterwards.
Thanks for the list of alternatives though - it might come in handy in the future with other ROMs or phones.

maybe a bug on stock. Perhaps doubly orange as you recorded the orange and played it back with another layer of orange on top. Actually CF.lumen and F.lux don't require kernel KCAL but can rely on root as an alternative effect.

No - I even moved the file to the PC and it was the same intensity there, too... though it would have made sense considering it was recorded in the first place.
I'm not planning to root the device - as long as there's hope for an update from ZTE (which hopefully will come soon).
