Hey didn't really read anything abouth this, but the os part of the phone from samsung is really getting to annoy me. It's pretty ugly and doesn't look good...
I am wondering if I am the only one with this. Is it the screen or is it just not well made? Because it also looks like some banding.
I will give some examples but you can see it everywhere...
Like the battery icon when your phone is off and you are charging, wtf is that? It's banded like wth...
Also these two next examples are bad. Can you check if yours is the same?
It seems with a screenshot it's pretty normal on my laptop screen. On my phone it's not like that. How are these examples with your phones??
In this first pick, look at the grey from every different alarm. On my phone it is very banded!! Not smooth at all like this picture, some pink lines in between and stuff...
Here you should lok at the grey of the keyboard. And the green telephone button. Doesn't look smooth in my phone.
I also have a question abouth, some burn in? When i pull down the pull down menu/notification bar, and I watch the bar where your thumb is up, it chancges slightly in color i noticed. When i look closer, i could see that what is behind the bar is visible for abouth 10-15 sec and than it fades. So i could read the word contacts pretty good, when i pulled it all the way down, so it's kind of a burn in for sometime? Is this normal and can ohter people check this on their phone? Thanks
Yes I agree it's pretty ugly, use go launcher, go contacts and go sms pro, much better looking...

Yeah ok, the look is something else, everybody has it own taste.
But i was talking abouth the banding on the grey of the numeric keyboard, and the alarm for example...
At these screenshot they look pretty normal, but on my phone they don't look like that...
So is it the screen that make them look like that???
Do these things look the same on your phone screen as on your pc screen? Or do you also have banding on these things?
PC screen is not the phone screen stupid to compare them .
For what is worth I see no banding on Dialpad on phone likewise ringer volume .

There is a topic about the banding, I think it's a software issue it probably doesnt use 24bit color depth, just use go contacts/dialer

Yeah i know it's stupid. But you should think it is optimised for the phone.
On the dialpad I see banding on every number's grey "button".
And it is not the ringer volume, that was an accident when i made the print screen, I accidently pushed the ringel volume at the same time.
It's the grey from every alarm, very banding on my phone...
So if you don't have it, my screen is defect?

Factory reset first to clear any problems .

I am sure the screen response will loosen up over time. I noticed too initially but it's all okay now.
I remember first two weeks of my tv was almost painful to watch while the pixels caught up with the action. Maybe oled isn't much different to lcd in that respect

I was looking at Google Map when I noticed the colours changing. It was as if the contrast was suddenly being reduced making the colours look washed out. When I went to my Home screen my windmill live wallpaper is also looking washed out because the grass no longer looks very green. Has anyone else experienced this problem?
I attach some screen captured to show what it looks like.

Go to settings>display>screen mode you have changed the color management. And see if you have enabled auto adjust screen power. Maybe on of those are responsible.

Do you use Custom Power saving?
Could be your battery running out, so its reducing your display to save power.

I'm not using power management and I have the phone on charge.
I've discovered why there's a difference in my Google Maps screens. It seems that sometimes the map is overlaid with a white circle which makes it look washed out. I attach a screen shot so you can see what it looks like. I think the circle is highlighting an area around my satnv location.
But I'm still not happy with my windmill which still looks washed out.
The colours on my windmill home screen have mysteriously returned to normal

wow man there is a huge difference.... no way my gnote is not doing this for sure... try to upgrade to 2.3.6 and see if that fixes it
you're sure it's not a 'feature' of the windmill LIVE wallpaper?
On the second image you have good weather, the sun is shining. On the first image however, it seems as if you have bad weather, no sun, only clouds, thus the gray layer.
So maybe it's nothing the Note is responsible for, but the weather dependend Live Wallpaper.
I know is not the same problem but maybe related,my device have some brightness change in the display,many times i'm reading and see the screen do some dimming the screen lower down the brightness and go back after like 30 seconds to the normal bright,I have enable the Auto screen power but i try desable and the result are the same.

I think you are probably right for nothing has changed except the weather.
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.
Auto-brightness No.
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
I came from an S7 EDGE and I just got my OP5 and there's something I hate about my new phone. Every photos videos on YouTube, Reddit , internet in general looks washed out. The colors are good but when you pay attention, you can see the same artefacts you see on a highly compressed video/photo. In other words, the screen looks like it's not even a 8 bit color panel. Do you guys know a solution about this? I never saw this problem on any phone ( I'm a cellphone seller in Canada ), not even on my S7 EDGE, Alcatel IDOL 3, Nexus 5
Maybe it's because it's pentile or something
You might want to change the screen calibration method under settings / display and see if that helps at all.
Unfortunately the problem is still existent. Look at the uploaded screenshot with your phone The colors on the dialer supposed to be gradient but it's not. That my problem .

The dialer looks lighter at the top and darker at the bottom--are you saying there isn't enough transition between the two or that the colors in the screenshot are inaccurate? You might want to do a search for gradient android dialers (which should have screenshots) to verify the problem is with the phone rather than with the specific app you are using. All of the gradient screenshots I pulled up looked fine on my phone but the color changes were a lot more subtle than the one you provided. It's possible you have a bad display or that it's calibrated incorrectly for some reason. I've never noticed any problems with the colors on my OP5 and never read a complaint similar to yours.
You might want to make sure Night Mode or Reading Mode aren't on in settings because both would affect the colors.
Also make sure ambient display is off to verify that isn't doing anything screwy.
Have you rooted your phone or installed a custom kernel or anything like that? Do the colors look exactly the same when you boot into safe mode?
I see the banding in the dialer (the background where the dialpad is). Given that it's a screenshot though, that part is likely to be how OnePlus designed the dialer app (screen issues wouldn't show up in a screenshot).

I Just got a ZTE ZMax Pro (Z981) today from MetroPCS overall the phone is great but im having a weird issue when setting my wallpaper, when viewing images in the gallery or previewing to set the wallpaper everything looks fine but when the image is a wallpaper i notice a slight change in the color like a slight green tint.
preview images below edit: cant post images... any idea what could be causing this ? Using Stock with Nova Launcher, Color Correction is off.
This is a minor problem and isnt a deal breaker to me but if its fixable it be nice.
Any help or input would be appreciated, thank you.

Have you played with your screen anamation in developer options it will change visuals as well as if you have a adaptive brightness set u may just b seeing rough version or a installed app affecting you , I use Nova without issue on the z981 ,it preforms sexy like a unlimited data mod lol , and it may make a diff if you are using free version or paid lite may have bugs I'd try my custom launcher c if it has a better effect or check , check all you nova visuals you may have simply made a mistake in display preference good luck
Thanks for the input, i had animation scale to off, and reverting it back to 1x and restarting did not fix the issue, also playing with the nova animations and tinkering with settings didnt fix it, im using nova prime, tried with the stock launcher also gives me the darker wallpaper, im not sure what it is, because when im looking at the image to set it the colors are fine, its not until its a wallpaper that its darker, like i said it isnt horrible after awhile i dont even notice but its just odd..
what is this custom launcher you speak of?
and yes this phone is pretty amazing, i was little bummed at first because the blade was out of stock where i went but upon further review im happy i got this, could care less about the camera.. on another note can we be expecting android 7.0 in the future ?
