Haven't noticed this on my I9505, try using another keyboard

I'm having this issue and it's doing my head in!
Every time I bring up the on screen keyboard the hue changes slightly to greeny tone. Then back again when keyboard goes.
I'm surprised not more people mention it.
The easiest way I found to see it was ten brightness right down, go to a dark room and open play store. Touch on the search bar to bring up recent searches and keyboard, then hit the back button, then touch touch bar again, then the back button. Keep doing this so your toggling keyboard on and off and watch the whole screen shift tone.
I'd love to know if it's an issue across the board or if only a few phones are affected.

I am facing the exact issue bro but i hope it will be a software related issue but i am also worried that may be we have defective handsets because very few people raised voice against this issue so it means that most users are not suffering from this issue.

Is this for the stock keyboard? I'm using SwiftKey though.

I tried with other keyboard and its still there
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda app-developers app
It's got nothing to do with the keyboard.
If you watch a movie on you tube (black and white is best) put to full screen and wait for slider to dissappear, then tap screen to bring it back. The hue changes to green!
It's whenever the screen has to bring something up like a keyboard, menu, slider etc.
Come on guys please can you test this so we know it's a problem on all handsets like smearing or if it's a hardware fault in a few handsets.

Lol there is no 'auto tinting' option. If you mean adjust screen tone, it makes no difference.

This happens on kernels based on MDN below,
anything above MDM the tint issue is fixed.
On ME2 firmware and I experience the same issue. It feels kinda like a 'flicker'.
I have same keyboard tint problem too and its bugging me. Is it a sw or hw issue? Can it be fixed?

mostly all people have this problem & I was worried too about this. But update your phone. you should get a new update notification by now.! I already updated and it fixes this problem. and the smearing issue as well. And then you can also move your apps to sd!!!!!:victory:
Hi, just got my replacement after having some overheating problems and noticed this problem on the new one. I'm pretty sure is the screen, and not a software problem. Mine looks yellowish/greenish on the bottom. I downloaded Screen Test app and notice the problem. I have some pics showing the color differences along the screen. I'll go for another replacement tomorrow.

Smart scrolling feature apparently isnt working... I've noticed when I'm browsing that small green eye does not show up on the screen...
Is it normal or its the settings issue... Although I do see that little eye (greyed out) on top on my screen all the time ... It changes to white at times and then turns back to grey ....
Can anyone plz tell me what to do....
Thanks

Are you using the original browser and not , for example Chrome etc. ?
When you see the green eye, it will work.
Smart scrolling works better if you actually move your head up and down, not just your eyes.
The other mode is , you have to tilt the phone back or forward to scroll.

One of two possible reasons:
1. The sensor doesn't detect your eyes due to low light. Good light conditions are crucial.
2. Software or hardware fault

Smart Scroll on Samsung Galaxy S4 lets you scroll a web page via tilting your Head or Device. The camera sees your eyes and then you can move your Head or* your device to start scrolling. Follow these steps:
*
1.Go to Setting
2.Go to My Device tab
3.Tap on and open “Smart Screen”
4.Tap on the actual words “Smart Scroll” and make sure it is enabled
5.There, you have 2 options
************* a.Tilting head: you need to move your head to scroll
************* b.Tilting device: you need to move your device to scroll

Mate,
It's still not working... By the way is it in any way connected to any samsung apps??? The reason being that I have disabled some of the Samsung apps (which I thought were a bloatware)...
For your info, my front camera seems to be working fine... No problems what so ever...
By the way is there any way that I can check specifically if its a software or hardware issue??? if yes, plz let me know exactly what I should be check with regards to hardware/software...
Thanks in advance

Marhaba. It uses the other sensors to detect eyes. Actually an infrared led light. I believe it wont work with light behind you.
Anyways in the settings did you touch the area to the left of the on button? There is a deeper menu there.
Finally iyit seems like a siftwarw bug. Do you ever see the notification icon turn white from gray to indicate tracking?

Black crush
Well,this is called 'black crush' or 'black clipping'. It is still there a little bit,but nothing serious. The first Note was horrible... Don't worry,nothing is wrong with the phone,it is a software issue,and (I think) it will be fixed soon.
Im very confused as it really distorts the display of the black.
In the settings the search field has a deep Black. Rest is more or less grey.
In the toggle menu the bottom bar has weird stripes.
It's not just a small issue. ...

You posted screen shots. No one can tell anything from those you need to take a picture of the problem using a camera. The phone's been out for over a month now. If what's happening to you were wide spread I assure you it would have been brought up (numerous times) by now. If whatever you're seeing was like that out of the box (before you loaded any apps) it's probably a h/w problem with your specific device.
I have the same issue too on my Note 3!
I'm from Singapore here.
I didn't notice that the pictures appear perfectly normal on other displays.
I did some shots with a camera.

That isn't normal - I'd you are running a custom ROM I'd take back to stock to see if the issue persists, and send it back if it does.

Mine too. Isn't that supposed to be the way the display looks? Just kidding.
A display that looks like this isn't normal and if there were a lot of them people would be going nuts.
It's either something s/w related that's fried the graphics drivers or a h/w problem unique to specific phones. If it remains after a hard reset than it's h/w and the phone needs to be exchanged.
Tried the hardware reset but didn't change anything. Bad luck this time.....

That is really something wrong.
It suppose no strip at telco area.
Beside search bar, the rest bottom part is suppose black also not grey.
I believe your screen is defective.
I've factory-rested and it's the same.
Re-installing exactly the same J1 firmware (in Singapore it's the latest) via Odin also yeilds same result.
Another friend of mine is facing the same issue.
However, the ambience at the Samsung stores are so bright, and it's hard for the customer service officers to see
Well I'll see what Samsung After service Germany will say... the point is that the screen looks ok if you test the blue, green, red and black screen test under *#0*#. But during normal use I'm faced with the problems as shown above
I'll keep you updated.

Anyone figured out how to get the rear power button LED working with lightflow or similar? Lightflow controls the front LED nicely, and I've played with controlling the other LED's with it, but none of them work, and I'm not sure which is supposed to be the rear LED. It would be really cool to get it to flash for texts and such.
Are you referring to this or something more detailed?

I have that checked, but it doesn't do anything, at least for me. Front LED works great, no luck on the rear one. Does yours work? I'm on CM11
That's for "button back light" meaning the light behind the front buttons not "back button light". Big difference there.

Thanks for clarifying. I actually wondered about that. But I couldn't figure out what difference it would make my checking it. I never have my phone facing down to really care what the light on the back button is doing anyway. Lol

I'm on CM 11 and it seems like the light turns on when i get a call and SOMETIMEs when I get a text but thats it.
i would like the rear light button on the back to act exactly as if i was in stock.
Well I tried it out and bought the pro version of light flow and to say I'm dissapointed. The control of the back light does work but it doesn't pulse or pulse slowly on and off. the power button light just stays lit.

You have to go to settings go all the way down the page and it should be listed in additional LEDs as button blacklight. I enabled 1 and 2 because I think I enabled just one and half of the button lit up when I enabled both the button was fully lit

I'am having the same problem aswell. It is really annoying. My phone is just 2 days old.
Edit: I have contacted to samsung and they toldme to bring the phone to a service center. I've been told I have a rigt to request a new phone or refund. I couldnt decide what I want to do. Because I really like this phone but there are alot of problems whit it. Apart from that screen problem. My phone freezes and restarts itself ramdomly and there is a problem with wifi connectivity
