Display has a pink tint!!

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?

Nexus 7 Arrived early with SSN C8OK!!!

So just got a call from Gamestop today saying my Nexus was in! It was supposed to arrive on the 31st but instead arrived 10 days early which is awesome. I checked the SSN number and saw that it is C8OK so it's from the new wave! It's still charging because I'm weird and like to have all of my devices fully charged before i use them. So far no visual defects, e.g. 'Screen Lift'. Is there any other specific things I should look for to make sure it's defect free? Thanks for your time!

Well, my first generation (C60K) Nexus 7 was fine for the past month until today when the speaker blown. So you may want to make sure your speaker is OK
Other than that, congratulations

Indeed. I'm sending it to ASUS tomorrow. Hopefully they'll fix it or better yet send me a C80K too

Argh... this is the second post I've seen someone saying they got a C80K, but then making us wait while they charge before reporting anything.
What the heck people? Who waits for a charge?

Thank you kind sir!

I just got a C8OK model as well in Canada, at Canada Computers.
Looked it over. Don't see any defects. Also ran a screen test and is perfect so far. Light bleed is almost non-existent (much better then the iPad 3 I had and the Prime I had before)
Speakers seem a bit low/weak, but that's perfectly fine with me.
Funny thing is - its model is "ME370T" / Asus Pad.

I just got my nexus 7 and starts with C70.. I haven't found any problems so far..

Main two or three things I'm curious about are the color quality of the screen.
Are the greens and yellows still pastel looking. This will probably be hard to judge if you don't have another tablet to compare with. Compared with my Nook Color, Touchpad, or iPad, there is a noticeable problem with those two colors on the Nexus 7.
Is the white saturation improved? Hopefully you can see beyond 250 on this test.
http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/white.php
And is the PRISM issue fixed, does playing videos cause the screen to look very washed out afterwards? (There is a easy fix for this, but would be nice if I didn't need to apply a fix)

Haven't tested with the screen washout yet but on that white saturation test I can barely see 248.
Edit: Just found that there's a lighter area of screen down the left side when looking at a black screen. Might post a pic if I can get a good shot of it.

Bummer, but not surprising. Guess that just means more hope that a software fix can improve that later.

Already have an 80. Backlight flicker still there.

i got a c80k as well no problem so far

Used that link you provided. Don't know if screen brightness affects it or not (40% brightness), but I can see 250. Above that no.
All colors look fine to me on the screen test. Better then a Prime for sure, not on par with the iPad 3.
I'll check for the PRISM issue when I get a chance.
EDIT: Did a straight comparison with my Galaxy S2 - Greens are lighter. Whites are better. Blacks obviously worse. Blues and Reds looks great on both. Yellow seems fine.

C60 perfect so far ，like life ，like my N7

Top half of screen is dark

Hi all
I just bought a S4, and I noticed I had the purple smearing issue. I have now updated to the latest BMF8 rom which really solved the problem. But now I notice one issue, when I display a pure white background or a Grey background, I notice the top half of the screen is darker (pink tint) than the lower part which id yellowish...
it is the same no matter what screen brightness I set.. the top half is darker than the bottom... is anyone having this issue? my S3 does not have this problem...

Are you talking about a slight whitish tone on the top diaognal half of your screen and the lower half has this pinkish or purplelish tone on white or bage bg? Try taking a picture maybe?

I have updated the first post with screen shots. I dont know if you can see it but as I said, the whole top half is darker thsn the lower half.

I have just been to the Samsung kiosk in my home town... showed the phone to one of the reps and he confirmed the screen was darker on the top half... hopefully this gets changed tomorrow when I go to the phone shop...

I'm hoping Samsung comes out with a fix for the pink tint.
I seem to recall that the s2 had issues with yellow tint on the left side and Samsung came out with a kernel update that fixed it.

I had same problem what @nm8 had. I sent my phone to warranty but only thing they did was a software update (what I did three times before sending it to there). Of course that didn't help, after I got my phone back it was even worse. I wrote petition to the shop from where I bought phone. Yesterday they announced to me that Samsung after-sales service will buy my phone back.
Right now I don't know that is this phone worth of buying again (would buy 32 GB version now). It's one of the most expensive phones in the market so I would like to get nearly perfect screen...

Screen issues on dark greys/blacks

I'm on my 5th replacement S4, all because of screen issues!
This is my current (5th) handset and I notice horrible green tint and stripes on the screen when on low brightness in a dark room.
Before you say it, "but this isn't normal conditions" this is my normal conditions when I use my phone at home. My room is dim.
And my S, S2 and S3 all didnt do this.
Anyone else notice this sort of problem??

Yes my first s4 had the stripes in low light.
My second replacement didn't have the stripes but has the pink tint on the lower half of the screen.
Not sure whether i should risk exchanging this one and get another s4 with a different screen issue.

I saw ur screen shot.. do u mean by green tint in left sides from corners?
If yes then its faulty.. and ignore the answer which is written below
If u mean why black is horible in settings menu like settings, file manger..
Then I have truth answer of that shot..
We all know samsung have smearing thing like we move text on settings its looks bad ghosting caused by true black pixel(turned off in black fully)..so for that, samsung did change they make a black intensity to 0 to 1% in settings menus..
So, for fixing smearing issue they did that..
If u have doubt with black.. then open a pure black image or download screen test from play store..
See the black should fine..
Dont trust on black on settings..
Its normal normal normal normal..
Edit. And I seen u are in custom rom..
Well the notification bar it's pure black and see the menu side..(file manager)
I hope it helps

In my opinion, with the S4 you just end up replacing one issue with another!
Trust me I've had 5 replacements and not one has had a perfect screen
I've given up on my quest for perfection now, which I don't think is to much to ask for one of the most expensive phones on the market!
Samsung have let themselves down on this one.

That's a shame. I would exchange the phone for a HTC one but I don't want to give up the 5 inch screen, user replaceable battery, and micro SD card.
Hoping Samsung comes out with a firmware fix for the pink tint like they did with the s2.

This issue isn't software related.
It's a very poorly made AMOLED display. Samsung only have $$$ in mind.
It is a shame, and believe me, if the HTC One had an SD card slot I would totally own one right now!

I don't disagree with you, but if they can provide a software workaround i'll take it.
If they can do some type of filter to the bottom or top of the screen to offset the pink tint that would fix the issue most likely.
I'm thinking that's what Samsung did to fix the yellow tint on the left side of the screen for the galaxy s2.
I don't see why Samsung can't do that for the s4.

U r feeling over shame..lol..
There is still no competitor of samsung..
Samsung amoled have pure black.. truly pixels off in black. Amoled have high saturated coloure.
Htc and sonys display are sufffering moslty from dead pixel but in s4 is no dead pixels..
I love amoled screen..even I have slightly tint..which not noticable..
If samsung have $$$ in mind then its not enough and not true..
Samsung have $$$ because their product have high sales becauase its best and people like it..
I know that u r sad because u got bad piece after replacement too..
My suggestion is sell it and buy s4 from original shop...
Trust me u will get perfect device...
I was non samsung fan until I buy from local shops..that results in so many faults..
After buying from original center, now I have original handset...

I got all 5 phones from reputable shops here in NZ.
The first 2 were from 2Degrees and the last 3 from Vodafone.
We don't have a Samsung store here so I've gone to the best places that are available to me.
I feel this new Full HD AMOLED panel was rushed to market and didn't have the proper quality control or testing done. Simple.
Yes I'm a bit annoyed over it, but not sad.
There are much worse things going on the world right now than my phone having a green screen.
I was just wanting to know if it really is worth me chasing the perfect screen or if everyone else is experiencing issues like this.

I got my s4 here in nz too. The firmware was out of date and I had horrible blacks in videos too. I flashed to the German firmware and it's night and day better with proper blacks etc. My only complaint now is the yellow green tint on the screen, really annoys me watching movies. It disappears if you tilt the screen slightly but when viewed straight on everything has a faint yellow tint.
I agree with what was said above - my view is it's just a poor screen.

XZ1's JDC Screen vs XZ1's low quality screen (sharp?)

Ok so I went to a store, and bought a Z1. Than I compared to the retail model. And this the result. Sony are you serious, you ruin everything.

My device (I returned already) is on left side obviously and looks sooo ****ty on the screen.
The other screen is awesome! Compared to note 3 its almost as good as note 3's screen

Oddly the jdc is the left one, IRL it has nicer greys/whites and no yellow hue.

I had good screen on 534
Became yellow on 257
Did a factory reset, and now fine on 257
Try it, it might work

wow, yeah that's what some of yall was referring to with the yellow issue.
Mine def does not look like that.
C6906 bought directly from Sony Store in Canada.

So this is the famous yellow hue in the Z1. Now I can said I am lucky one for some aspects, not all.

you are all seriously out of proportion, first of all, it's almost impossible to tell whether your screen does or don't look like a screen you see through a photo, perhaps your computer screen is yellow!
second it's much easier when you look at it next to another phone.
third, stop the bs, z1 has much better viewing angles than the xz, take one and compare other than that, it is no amoled, can't do **** about it, but when viewed from usable angle (and i mean an angle where you can use your phone, not one that you can see it) the screen is absolutly stunning.
this comes from someone who compares to other friends phone have a tad more yellow screen, perhaps...

In addition to what you said, the white balance in that OP shot, was so wrong into the warm scale that it is going to make everything look ten times worse than reality, although it does still show that there is in fact a difference, would have been good to know that your brightness on both were the same, because I am sure they were not, all shops I went to had the slider on max and the phone shipped doesn't so you would have to consciously have to make that change. Because I can simulate with one phone, just buy using the brightness slider the same as your opening post
I have a fully professionally calibrated screen and my phones white standard matches my screen almost perfectly, most people from what I can gather prefer a more cold white, if so +8 green and blue makes my Z1 similar to my Z and more close to the HTC One.

Both devices needs calibrating.
Maybe there is a different lightsource hitting on the right, but that one to me seems to have too much red in it.
The white balance app is up for grabs.
Someone who has two z1's in close proximity should try testing and see if they can get them to be equal, and if that fails, I'd be more inclined to believe there are that many "faulty screens"
