Display yellowish its normal ?

light yellow spots below the screen, yellowish white its normal?
almost imperceptible.
only with white background.

want to know too.

Do you mean that your whites have a yellow tint to them?
Mine doesn't, white just looks white to me, have you checked your brightness settings, I'm sure that the lower the brightness the 'creamier' the whites might look.

The bottom of the screen is indeed a bit yellowish, just the lower 0.5cm. I have it on my white X10 and my two friends have it on their black Xperias too. It's only noticeable when the screen is completely white.

The bottom of my screen isn't yellow, but I can see a little bit of backlight leakage. Fortunately only when the screen is white, and most of the time a menu or other buttons cover it.

Mine isn't yellow either... white as a snowy day

white here to even when the screen is completly white. in other words its not suppost to be yellow

2.3.3 color change

I am looking for honest opinions about the color change to the Nexus S display with the 2.3.3 update. I have heard very many people complaining and not liking the new color scheme. THis is key to whether I allow my nexus to update or not. If anybody can give me any opinions regarding this I will greatly apprectiate it. Also, what exactly was wrong with the original color scheme to begin with?

I've been lurking for a while now, but I suppose it's high time that I start contributing around here!
I think the update's colors are fine. Breaking it down, the 2.3.2 and below colors were a bit reddish in my eyes. While you couldn't tell for the most part, if you use a program like Screen Filter and get the screen to be very dim, there would be a very purple tint to the screen.
The update removed the purple tint, but a lot of people (the ones you refer to) began complaining about a yellowish tint and washed out colors. The yellowish tint is noticeable, especially when I compare white between the Nexus S and either my computer or an iPhone 3GS. In my eyes, it's not *that* yellow, and the screen overall looks better than it did pre-update. The washed out effect I really haven't noticed, though I do think that after installing netarchy's kernel, the colors do pop a little bit more.
Overall, I'm not a terribly picky person, but I do think that 2.3.3+Voodoo color looks better than 2.3.2 or stock 2.3.3.

Jeff's right. 2.3.3 stock colors aren't bad at all. I actually like it over the purplish colors of 2.3.2. Plus I think the lowest brightness levels have been darker than 2.3.2.

You can't compare your super amoled screen to a computer monitor or an iPhone. When making this kinda comparison, you should compare with another similiar galaxy s phone or N1 that doesn't have the purplish tint issue. With that being said, the reason why colors looks washed out to some after the update is because, before the update most of us was used to the grays being purple so alot of images that had this certain shade of gray would display purple. Now after the update, those images that we're used to looking at with the purplish issue are now all of a sudden displaying it's true color of grays, which causes the images to appear washed out. The update does provide the correct color calibrations. Also keep in mind the these screens are not consistently manufactured the same. So even tho the update provides the correct color calibration, the outcome still may vary depending on the condition of the manufactured screen which explains why some are experiencing extreme yellowish discoloration.

my brother bought a nexus S used few days ago. it was on 2.3.2
on high brightness, the white was perfect white " no yellow tint on it. perfect white.
however on low settings, it used to have pink tint that is more clear on gray colors.
so he updated to 2.3.3, the pink is gone. but now the screen has this " yellow " tint to it that makes the creen looks washed out. the blue not really a blue . its lighter blue, and the white on high setting is like yellow white.
however, he updated the karnel i think with one from voodoo where he can pick between 2 color profiles " forgot the name of the karnel but its in xda "
now the screen is back to how it was on 2.3.2 with its white " no yellowish" and when he pick the color profile for the low settings, the pink is also gone . no more pink on low settings and yellow on high settings. its actually perfect.
i assume if your phone has yellow issue on 2.3.2, then you are probably screwed. as there is no fix to that. the voodoo will only return the white to how it was on 2.3.2
but if your white was perfect and you have a problem with the pink, then look for the karnel, you will lose your pink plus the perfect white will come back agian

Another display issue?

My display had purple tint and I changed the phone today and got a new one. Its better now and significany less pink color.
Also I now 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?

Do you have this on your phones?
My sgs, when the screen is off if you look the screen under light has a bluish color/glare.
However sgs2 when I look under light,screen turned off has a purple glare.

he didn't need to taken it off
mine was without screen protector and there was purple glare on screen
now I'm really happy because it's not just me who has this purple glare on screen
this does not matter I like this phone

I find the problem when it is directly under bright light only...even when bright sunlight, it doesn't give me the glare...so it is not really a problem, I don't have a bright light in my room lol

Purple glare is not a problem but it causes phone to display purplish whites and greys when the screen brightness at low. At night, If I look 90 degrees to phone whites are creamy greys have a pink hue however when I view the screen from a little different angle (if i tilt like 5 degrees) whites are cool and greys are perfect.
Well maybe my sgs has a blue tint and cool colors that's why I feel a huge difference. Cuz when I compared my iPod touch 2nd Gen. IPod's color is more pinkish tthan my sgs2.
I don't have screen protector yet but I was hoping putting one would fix that purplish tint issue. So it doesn't.

OK. They are awesome but do you have anything to say about the issue that I am having? If u share with us will be appreciated. I wanna know if there are perfect screens wwithout this issue or all phones have?

I meant that I do not see any tint on my screen.
I have a Bell version, made in China.
The only thing that is bothering me is grease fingerprints marks.
Otherwise this is the best screen on market right now.

I have bell too. Where did you get your phone? I would like to go to the store that u bought to compare mine. Phones in the store that i got mine all have the same issue. This is my 3rd phone from the same store and they are already sick of me going there to change everyday. Maybe it's a batch problem. Are u in Toronto? If u are could u tell me the store name?

I've bought it in the TBooth in Eaton center

I checked all the phones in eaton center and they all have different screens. Mostly they have yellowish tint. One phone in future shop was worst than mine(purple)
One of the 6 display phones in bell had a perfect screen. Which made me hesitate about changing my phone. What are the odds to get a perfect screen?
The phones which have yellow tint their colors look pale to me. Only problem is mine, certain grays look purplish. Such as the status bar buttons. In a dark room with 0 brightness they have a purple tint.
when I tilt the phone that purplish color goes away.
What color the pull down status bar buttons should look like? What is your color?

Dude there are always will be some imperfection in any device.
Stop nitpicking, enjoy your phone.

Yellowish tint screen

already did. they refer to yellow tint on the side only.

I have the same issue. My previous sgs2 had a yellow tint on the left side. I send it for repair and got the screen replaced. Now my whole screen is more yellowish, while my previous phone was more blueish (warm vs cold tint). I'm on KG1 now. The yellow left side is as good as gone though.
On 100% brightness the whites are really white, but below 60% the white and grey turn yellow.
I've searched for an app that allows you to change the color temperature but haven't found one. I've found a few that simply turn down brightness levels individually for R, G and B, but that doesn't work. Personally I'd like my phone's tint to be a bit cooler.

On a yellow tinted phone, the whites only seem white till you compare it beside a phone with a higher color tone.. thats what I also experienced.

guess we just have to wait for speedmod colour fix or voodoo color..

Is that being developed? I would be more than happy to donate a few bucks to anyone who can deliver such an app.

Have you tried changing in settings, Screen the 3 different configurations it has?. Try the fist one, i think it has too many saturation but whites are whiter (at least for my sight).

Tried dynamic but it was too sharp for my taste.

Screen white balance/color temperature changed after update...

As soon as I got my S10+, I was impressed by the display and how the white balance was. The whites were really close toe pure white without any tint. But when I updated it, the screen became a bit warm. As I had a perfect White balance before, is there any way (without downgrading...) to achieve it again? I've tried everything there's available in settings.

Give it time to see if it changes. I noticed the screen does show warm tint at times and sometimes it is just too noticeable. You can also go in display settings to manually change the white balance
