New Galaxy S2 Batch Better Screen - Galaxy S II General

I have bought 2 Galaxy S From the first batch for me and my.
Now I just purchased one for my father.
And his screen is much better, may be it is just the calibration
But the color seem more bright, vivid and white.
the color of mine is more yellow.
Just a thought
May be Samy improve for the last batch

No pictures and it didnt happen..

mine is very white as well, I have seen the ones with yellowing and mine doesn't have it.

May be is only that i don't have chance and the 2 first i get is like that.
In fact i don't see a band like other thread mention, it just like calibration thing.
But it is ok, if i haven't see my dad's one i would never notice
i don't think picture would reveal that small details, and will send his phone to the dad day.
Thx

Have you checked the Settings>display> Background Effects to verify both are on the same setting, and yours isn't on movie?

I read somewhere that some specific models have a yellowish colour problem on the screen..
This really shouldn't be normal, so my best answer is to send it in for repair

No yellowing on mine all looks good.

Are both phones using the same brightness settings?
On my phone, when the brightness is low, whites have a yellow cast, but on full brightness, they look very good.

Mine is white as well. No yellowish color or pink spots on camera shots.

What he described is not the problem that people are facing.
BTW Engadget are simply repeating what people are saying here. They have no information of their own and it was people here mailing them that alerted them to the problem in the first place.

I've noticed on mine that the colour temperature gets warmer at lower brightnesses. Also dark grey takes on a brown cast. On full brightness it's perfect though. No left hand side yellow cast either that I can see.

There's 60 pages of discussion on this already and the points you're making have been made there a dozen times. Do we really need another 60 page thread on the exact same issue? In the other thread there's also a code to tell what version of screen you have. It would be interesting to see if the claimed "new batch" has a different version.

The main question arises....HAS THE BANDING issue been rectified...so i can FINALLY go head with my S2 purchase ? I'm hesitant to purchase such an expensive device..KNOWING it has a very obvious banding defect...and it seems samsung is unaware of its existence!

I had to ask this question, when I had my S8500 I always set the Brightness to 0, still the screen was enough bright with vivid colors and good contrast looked very sharp and there was no Bluish tint on the screen. But here with S-AMOLED+ if I set the Brightness to mid level or higher then the screen performs well and probably beat the former screen. But when it's set to Auto brightness it seems that the screen has a bluish effect and the whites are not perfectly white, the pictures are not that crisp like it was on the former one, in this case I'd easily say that former screen was better. Now is this a feature of S-AMOLED+ or problem? In low or 0 brightness it is the S-AMOLED which perform much better but not S-AMOLED+ !

washed out colors

Hi,
i just got the HTC legend last night and noticed that the colors are a little washed out at anything under 40% brightness, even the gray areas of the theme are brownish and at the lowest brightness level all the the dark coolers have a brown tint.
its only ok when its at 100% brightness .
is this normal or should i renter it ?

Same here. And I remember some reviewers also complained about yellow tint on low brightness levels. So it's probably the way this display is supposed to be, unfortunately.

at 100% brightness all grey looks grey " web pages, theme, etc" but as soon as i go ~40% the brown becomes noticeable everywhere, when i hit the lowest brightness things get really ugly .
on mine only the very lowest getting looks wrong however I also own a cowon s9 and that has an amoled screen to and on the lowest brightness colors go off on that to. id say its got something to Do with amoled screens as they have no blight so lowering the brightness feeds less power to the scrwen.
or least I think thats how they work
Sent from my HTC Legend using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
this I would assume has something to do with how an amoled screen works I own other amoled devices and they all exhibit similar behavior.
as far as I know amoled has no back lights so when the brightness is lowered the power provided to the screen is diminished causing it to incorrectly display certain colors

the pink hue is caused because the screens that HTC use have the process aligned in a pen and tile config. there is an extensive article about this based on the nexus one.do a Google search

this is true, however if htc has used these types in those 2 others its a safe assumption they would use the same in the legend
having said that mine does not look pink at all so who knows
the pink is noticeable only on particular web pages and on the gmail application.
I would understand if that is a common situation or it is present only on difected phones.
Just don't go below 40% brightness. Problem solved.
By the way, the Legend has a normal RGB-subpixel layout, therefore it shouldn't have a pink hue.

Display has yellowish tint to it. Help!!

So my excitement kinda came to an early end last night. I got my second replacement mt4g due to a bad screen. This one is perfect...except that when I was reading some text on a page with a white background, I noticed that from bottom to top, the white gradually goes from white to this yellowish tint. I will post a picture of it later on tonight.
My question is, do you have/had this problem and did you end up returning it or did it go away kind of like when this was happening to the iphone 4? I really hope this really doesn't become a full-blown issue like with the washed colors, because then I would have to request a 3rd replacement and make sure that it doesn't have dead pixels, dust under the screen, washed out colors, yellow tint, crooked ffc, creaky buttons, and gaps around the bezel. Thanks.
Here is an example of what i'm talking about except my display is white at the bottom and gradually goes to the color of the phone that is on the right, at the top.

Do you think that the problem is improper screen calibration and all I have to do is wait for a software update?
225 views and one reply?? Really guys?? Not trying to sound like I'm whining, but this is a serious problem and I think i'm not the only one. I just received my replacement, and it too has this yellowish tint towards the top of the screen. This will be my 4th time that I will be requesting a replacement, so in total so far, 4 defective phones.

The blacks never looked grayish, the colors were bright, crisp and vibrant, it was when looking at something with a white background. This issue has nothing to do with the washed screens that people are getting.

I figured it out based on a chat I had with a friend. I think that the backlight was improperly calibrated or something. Sorry that I can't take a better picture as I have already received my exchange which is much much better, the light is just more distributed evenly then the previous phone. Plus it doesn't creak, the ffc is dead centered, and light doesn't leak through between the bezel and the screen at the top of the phone. After 4 exchanges(5 phones total), I finally got a "perfect" device.
Here is a side-by-side shot sort of(I returned the defective device before I could think of take a pic of them together due to my excitement!)
You can easily tell that the screen of the phone on the right has way more light at the bottom of it and the top doesn't which results in a more obvious yellowish tint. The phone on the left (good one) doesn't have it as bad, the light is distributed evenly. Both were on auto brightness. The good display's(right) brightness is down a bit more but it doesn't matter since I tried to increase and decrease the brightness on the defective one(left) and it made no difference.

Black on SGSIII not totally black like SGS I

Hi all SGSIII owner, have you try open your phone in the dark room? Look at the black colour such as in the Settings menu. The black not so black, like the Super AMOLED still lighting not like my previous SGS I. I think, this also drink battery juice faster.
BUMP!
Oh noo!! What is that? I open facebook in my dark bed room last night, when I open a photo from my friend posting, and waiting the photo loading, normally I saw black background and animated circle. But today I noticed total black dots in the background.
I managed plotted the dots in Photoshop, it look like this:

Another one issue is dimming.
I test the dimming function from keyboard key-in *#0*#, it not dim like first time I test after I bought the phone. I test the red, green and blue screen still ok, no issue.
What should I do?
I would drink some more juice -
the dots are ink marks that have been known to exist on samoled. According to supercurio, it's a software related problem and should be fixed by his app soon.
back I the sgs day, i didn't have this problem until I flashed cm7, it started happening. I thought my screen had a burn I or dead pixel lol

Oh I see thanks for the clarification
My Galaxy S II had this issue really really badly, to the point where the keyboard and statusbar were lightly burned into the display. Keyboard was temporary but statusbar burn was permanent.
Galaxy Nexus had it a little better, only one very obvious black spot on one of the on screen navigation buttons (which were always black making it more noticeable)
Galaxy S III hardly has it at all! Was planning on taking it back to the carrier (first phone I've got on contract in 12 months) if I noticed the issue badly, but since it's so little (only a few tiny dots) then I'm going to keep this one
I remember a discussion about this on the Galaxy nexus forum. It's just a limitation of the amoled he technology that they can't make the blacks as deep anymore. Personally I think the higher resolution is worth the sacrifice.

look, the spot/ blotches issue is alright if its not too noticable....so thts fine....
but the blacks not being deep enuf, thts too bad considering s1 n s2 had nice deep blacks...
so basically the Supr amold " HD " screen exclusively has this inability to dispay true blacks ???
P.S: yeah the resolution is great, so much better thn the s2 !! love it !
I use this video to test the black on my note, play it in a totally black room, if you have true black you should not be able to see where the edge of the display and the bezel join.
My note`s black`s are pure black not gray.

Blotches on an all black screen? Test yours here

Can you guys with cameras that have manual control test something for me?
Following on from a post by someone else about weird blotches on an all black image displayed on the screen, I checked mine today in pitch darkness and noticed a faint 2 inch or so of blackness on one edge of the screen along with smaller blotches. It doesn't appear to be as visible as the other poster's though but I exaggerated in in the photo so it's easier to see and settings posted below for people to check as well.
This is only visible on an all black screen. This does not exist on any of the S2's I've owned. I'll check my dad's S3 tonight when I go see him in the same way but the way to photograph it to keep the results consistent are as follows:
Stick camera and phone in a cupboard and...
Phone screen brightness: 50%
Camera ISO: 200
Camera Shutter: 15 seconds
Camera Aperture: f/4.5
Remember to pre-focus and use the 10sec timer to avoid shake
Those settings will over exaggerate the effect as shown in my photo below but it makes it easier for everyone to see as you do have to focus your eyes in reality and it's not immediately obvious unless you're in pitch darkness and looking at an all black screen.
I don't know how I feel about this though but if it's visible using the above camera settings for lots of people then I'll leave it as is.
Again, it's only visible on an all black screen so make sure your image that you load is all black and not grey or something Make sure screen timeout is set to at least a minute to avoid the screen going off!

What free app? It's a black image with screen timeout extended. The rest is your camera settings to be able to fairly photograph the screen for everyone to compare, an app can't do that

Oh well!
My first phone: (F/4, ISO 800, 20sec)
Second phone: (F/4, ISO 800, 30sec)
The guy at the store (**** Smith in Australia) was unable to reproduce the issue in-store, so swapped the phone out and said I'd have to go to samsung if I reported the same issue again. The 2nd phone still has the issue, but as you can see, nowhere near as bad... still... not very good is it.
My 2 year SGS1 had about 4 spots - never noticed any issue. The first SGS3 was definitely noticeable just scrolling through system menus at night.
That's rather bad^^ I've emailed mobiflefun with picture so let's see what they say.
Suggest you up your exposure (duration and/or ISO) to make it a bit more noticeable. Looks like you've got a fair amount of guff in the top-left corner.
:/ dodgy manufacturing.
I don't have an SGSIII yet, but I noticed pretty much this same thing on my Galaxy Note. One night I was viewing an image with an all black screen and it had these weird blotches on the screen. I had never noticed them before.

This "issue" is known since the SGS1. Is the leakege from the AMOLED display. One thing to consider i only have a line about half a CM in the same place where you have the circle mark. Maybe a manufacture failure?
quicker way to test.
1 - dark room
2 set auto brightness off and screen to lowest brightness.
go to phone and dial *#0*#
click vibrate test which will display black screen.
and then check....

Burn-in on screen

I can't believe I have fricking burn-in on my screen! I have had the phone less than two weeks and have been loving it but last night noticed lines on the screen. They look to line up exactly with the thread topics list on the Tapatalk app.
I have been using the app a lot but there is no way I should have burn in happening. It's not like I have even left the screen sitting in one place when using the app. My hypothesis is that it might have happened from using the ultra brightness mode (adapt display with maximum brightness on with auto brightness turned on) in bright sunshine and using the Tapatalk app.
I have googled burn in for this screen and haven't seen anything so I wonder if I somehow have a bad screen. It did look great when I first got it. If anyone out there has heard anything about this or can check their screen on a dark grey background I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Got a new phone and the screen is actually a little worse than the original.

The lines are actually not that easy to see during normal usage and I really like the phone.

Yeah I have had an s2, galaxy nexus and s3 before this and have noticed some screen uniformity issues before. Never had seen the distinctive thin lines like I see on the two s5's I have examined. I was hoping to have just got a lemon but now that I have seen another new one that actually looked a little worse it has actually eased my mind a bit even though my OCD wants everything perfect.

Yeah I have had an s2, galaxy nexus and s3 before this and have noticed some screen uniformity issues before. Never had seen the distinctive thin lines like I see on the two s5's I have examined. I was hoping to have just got a lemon but now that I have seen another new one that actually looked a little worse it has actually eased my mind a bit even though my OCD wants everything perfect.

Know the feeling. It freaks me out every time I use Tapatalk.
They also show up when you use a paint app and fill the screen with +-80% brightness with the screen brightness below 30%
However, they disappear when you turn the brightness of the screen up, (and compensate the black to 80% again) so it's just a bit of an error in the led calibration.
The area below the notification bar also has it when you run the colour tests after dialing *#0*#.
It's more predominantly visible on the S5 and Note 3 because those screens have the highest contrast ratio.
I'm horribly OCD over my devices too. There's a 0.5mm distance-to-screen difference between the edges of my screen protector... It bothers me every single day! >.<

Funny you should say that I just got one of those tempered glass screen protectors and was amazed that I got it on without any dust or air bubbles. Unfortunately it is also off a fraction to one side and also doesn't quite line up perfectly around the home key. I am so tempted to try to fix it every day but I know I should just leave it alone. ?
