The pic is not mine just what it looks like there is only one and is tiny

I have exactly the same thing but in much smaller size and can you see it just on dark screen(I can see it when the phone is turning on with the black screen or when there a dark background

I'm sure it's not a software problem because it does this on every Roms, on recovery mode, on fastboot mode on. ,normal boot mode but doesn't appear when the screen is off and it have the same color that the one plus touch button (back and background button ) and the dead pixel fix with the images color that usually fix dead pixels doesn't work even if sure at 90% it's not pixels

This is a classic LCD display failure, technically called backlight bleeding or clouding, caused by uneven background light source or uneven distance between the light source and the diffuser reflection background layer of the screen. I've seen this a lot on cheaper Chinese phones like on my old Elephone P8000.
Sadly there's not much you can do, that to contact support and hope they will swap the LCD under warranty.

My friend had this issue too ( green cloud ), he contacted Oneplus and they swapped the screen under warranty so ^^

Are someone has same issue? and how to fix it? thank you very much.

The best I could to to check mine was to open up my email. The whole screen is white. I did not see anything except white along the edge.

thank you very much.
please try in LCD Test(*#0*# in Diagnostic Mode) select RED you will see a white border but on my device left-border is green (other sides are OK).
It's very hard to be absolutely sure on red, but on blue and green the edges are definitely all white.

I loaded your JPG onto my Focus and the left side is green. The left side is always green, but the right side and even the top and bottom can also appear green if you hold the phone at certain angles. The green can also appear purple at extreme angles.
Is this a manufacturing flaw, or just a characteristic of AMOLED screens? Could it be some sort of back-lighting source that's located along the left edge that's causing the green tint?
I loaded the picture after downloading it and then attaching it to an email.
It does have a strange tint on the left side.
I then created my own version of the image. I started with a 480 x 800 blank image in Photoshop. I filled the entire image with black at 100% opaque.
Then I stroked the outer edge with 1 pixel of white. I repeated this using 2 pixels and then 3 pixels. As you can see, it is still visible at 3 pixels, but it is starting to turn white. I think we are seeing a consistent result that means the AMOLED screens have a slight design problem that is not considered to be worth holding back this technology from the market. I know I like the display and this is minor.

darker and brighter stripes on gray background

i have this problem(maybe common in amoled devices) if i take gray pitchure and put it on background there is distorsion in grey. like brighter and darker stripes(but you need to look it realy good) for exsample download program screen helper lite and tell me do you see stripes on main gray program screen.
There is a thread going for so long,

I think that he meant this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075364&highlight=banding
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1121840&highlight=banding
I dont think he is refering to both yellowish screens or banding.
I'm having this issue too. It doesnt show itself unless the screen brightness is turned down, and especially an grey background. There will be faint large vertical stripes. It is as if the backlighting is uneven. Increase the brightness and it'll go away.
Seeing that i do not have the yellowish screen problem, no stuck/dead pixels and no bluish tint problem, im very reluctant to send this phone back for a replacement due to this problem. Its something that i can live with.

[Q] hardware or software issue?

hello everyone
i received my snapdragon note 3 yesterday, was playing with it till i found something, its hard to explain but i will do my best.
what i noticed is that when i move something blue (like the small bars between each alphabet in contacts) to a black space (where pixels are shut off), the blue bar turns purple for like quarter of a second and then goes back to its original color.
it is really bothering me, i waited like a month to get the snapdragon version from outside my country and now this is happening.
could it be software issue? as i remember that note 1 has a display issue where black color appear grayish in homescreen, if so, what are the best stock roms that support RDLV root with out tripping knox ? last thing to note is that it is really hard for me to return it to where it came from.
any help appreciated.
edit: it apear that it is happening with the gray color or any other one that tend to be grayish at very low brightness

This is something you'll either have to get used to and learn to live with, or sell the device. It's a HARDWARE issue, not software, and it can never be "fixed" in any way. The short explanation:
What you are seeing is the latency inherent to the design of the AMOLED pixel matrix. It takes some time for the pixels to go from black (off) to any other color (on) and what you perceive as a blur or "small bars" before it does so is this latency, and when you are driving so many pixels on a full-HD display, the latency is even more apparent.
Samsung has attempted to mask this design limitation by essentially taking true black (off) away from the user, but it only works for Samsung apps and the parts of the OS that are tied to the Touchwiz UI.
update:
it appears that this problem is called smearing/ghosting, the reason it happen is that samsung made pixels combletly turn off when it is black in addition to cutting any power going to the screen.
why Samsung did this? well, to fix something called mura effect (black amoled screen can be seen as green or brown in very dark room), this caused a delay in turning on the pixels again which caused this effect (especially with gray color).
the solution is to use an app called screen adjuster (found for free in play store) and using the following setting:
red +14
green +14
blue +14
brightness 100
contrast 0
hope this help anyone who encounter this problem
cheers

as i said in the post above, i managed to solve it but adjusting screen colors (a Little bit that it does not affect the overall colors and in the same time keep black pixels on)
by the way, are all note 3 owners facing this issue like what happened to most s4 users or just me?

Just so you know that all you've done to "solve" the problem is shift the colors up to remove black. It's not worth the loss of a true black (off) pixel state, IMO, but to each his own. All Note 3/S4 owners have this issue. Some don't notice it until it's pointed out to them, but it's a hardware/design issue common to every single unit without exception.

Still facing red tint issue

DEAR ALL
still facing red tint issue even after fix update what to do?
please guide me.
There's no other solution if you've moved the red-tint slider down to minimal and you still have too much red tint. Either you exchange it or try to live with it. Cmiiw
You're one of few, like me, and have to live with it yes.
My adaptive is reasonable, bit strange with such an expensive device to call it that. But my amoled modes are as pink as they were on day 1.
I don't find any other news about any more fixes either. So samsung probably thinks everybody is enjoying their fantastic looking s8 and + versions.
Ps. You could bring it to samsung repair and let them recalibrate or repair your screen.
did you try???
Sent from my Samsung SM-G950F using XDA Labs
yes bro tried everything but still there
The red is so annoying I agree, when I bought my S8 earlier this month the display was fine up until last week when it suddenly started turning red after sunset and the red lasts until sunrise!! I have tried all the possible adjustments with no result in all display modes and modifications. The red is so annoying to live with. At night when I change the phone time to am, it goes back to the regular display and all is well until sunset. I tried it in different timezones, it also adapts the black timing to the local sunset time! I haven't read/heard/seen anyone face this problem., am I the only one?
That thing is what you call night mode or Blue light filter you can turn it off
Mine looks pretty good on adaptive, but on other modes it's a bit reddish. I really wish Samsung released the sliders on the other modes too.

Hey thanks but I forgot to mention that:
- the red screen comes up even if the blue light filter is switched off
- the red screen shows up in all displays (Adaptive -even if the red is reduced to a minimum in the Advanced options , AMOLED cinema, AMOLED photo and basic modes)
- the red from the red screen is different from the nightmode's yellow-ish colour.
I am not sure if the warranty covers it. but I will speak to Samsung customer service and see if anyone has faced this before
after adjusting the RGBs and the display edge adjuster, the top of my display still appears slightly red..as though there is a reddish band at the top.. anyone?

Replacement LCD doesn't show colors

Hi folks,
I dropped my G5+ (XT1687) the other day and cracked the screen. I ordered a SRJTEK replacement from Amazon, but after installation the new screen can't display colors properly. Instead of RGB it's more like "weak purple, weak green, gray" as shown in this picture from my housemate's phone. The picture shows the colors faithfully as on this replacement LCD. I've tried a factory reset and some display calibration apps, as well as the system UI tuner and the developer color-blindness options. Any app with color sliders shows the weird red, green and gray instead of normal RGB.
Has anyone seen anything like this before? I'm assuming it's defective, but not sure if I should ask for a replacement or a refund.

Try connect the wire again of screen, if it doesn't work the replace it with new one.
Colors should be accurate if you installed it correctly. If you bent the digitizer in any way it might do that. Give it another try by gently pulling out the digitizer and putting it back in (use tweezers, NOT your hand to prevent short out). If that doesn't fix it then issue a return to the company for your money back.
