Still facing red tint issue - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

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???

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?

Should I Switch My S4 for Another One?

I got my S4 last week and it's great. This one doesn't have any lag, or at least not anything that concerns me. However, it does have screen issues, especially with the light adjustment. Sometimes the screen will randomly go full brightness for a second and then go back to normal, I notice this when accessing messaging sometimes. I know it also does this for Instagram, but it is suppose to do that.
Now, sometimes it seems like it does a colorshift. the screen will appear less blue and more yellow. It did this when I was accessing the facebook messenger app once and maybe another one. I might be making this up, but it just seems like the color changes ever so slightly. Also, once in a blue moon when it is adjusting screen brightness, all these vertical black lines appear for a microsecond on certain parts of the screen, it seems like an even distribution of lines. Reminds me of something old game boys might do.
I am very happy with the phone though, and I don't want to switch it if I don't have too. However, if another version might not have these issues, I want to switch ASAP, I only have a week left to swap for a new one. After that, my 14 days are up and they said they would only give me refurbs. :[
Do it.
I'm stuck with a defective screen 16GB because the 32GB did not come in on launch day which was my last day to return.
My only option at this point is to get another 16GB that's refurbished from warranty.
The irony in all this is that I manage the kiosk where I purchased the phone on my personal account.
My employees' phones and demo don't have the same screen issues I have.

There is a setting in accessibility that called color adjusment mess with that and see if that helps it

I will check out the settings. The events that this glitches happen are rare, but it has only been a week and they have happened numerous times. The auto lighting adjustment sucks, times when it should be bright it's not. Plus the black line stuff that happens sometimes. If all of them experience this I dont want to trade in for another one. I don't want to risk trading my working phone for one that won't work so well.

I would swap it if I were you.. I came from the HTC one because of repeated problems and switched to the s4... I've only had it a few days now but have only experienced some lag (fixed by tweaking settings) and the auto brightness is a little slow to adjust sometimes (I've always though this about all my Samsung devices).. But no color changing or bars appearing.. Just my 2 cents..
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
that is partially due to the type of color meter and ambient light sensor type (should be a 40-something segment black and white unless my info on the sensor specs are off. i believe apple has designed a proprietary multisegment rgb meter for theirs). b/w meters get lumens correct, but not perceived brightness (human eye is not the same as a sensor).
the color changing issue you are having may be due to the display mode being set on auto (start, settings, display mode) and under lighting that the sensor cannot correctly meter for (fluorescent lights flicker at the same hertz as your AC current, and are actually pretty dim and WAY off for color balance, so that SHOULD throw the sensors off continuously, which would lead to auto brightness hunting and inaccurate selection of the 'correct' color mode).
try turning auto brightness off and color mode to professional photo or movie (i use move as its very flat and closer to real colors). there ought to be a way to trick the ambient brightness sensor to sample and average at a faster rate, and ramp up/down more smoothly, but i cant code for android otherwise i would have been working on one.
i work in tv/film industry on the sensor/lighting side btw. if the issue goes away, turn on auto brightness and check it out under NON FLUORESCENT lighting. if its gone, it was probably the display mode changing along with auto brightness.

I had no idea the S4 had these options. I guess I am used to my Atrix which didnt do much. I went in and adjusted the settings. The auto screen brightness never really did a good job, I feel that it is way too dim in situations where it should be brighter. I will text your advice the next week and see what happens. If I still get issues, I will return it as I have one week left of my 14 days. Thank you very much for the excellent advice!

no problem; the auto brightness on the GS4 is only slightly better than the Atrix 4G (had one too), and same as the GS3. The color mode thing (which is awesome; closer to real life colors versus waaaay oversaturated screens on most phones. also check power saving settings.

Well, I have not seen those black lines since I turned off auto brightness and turned off the screen automatically doing it's own color adjustments. I will turn these back on to see if I can duplicate the issue. I do feel that I have more lag now, but I could just be paranoid.
OK, when I am using my Facebook Messenger App, sometimes these black lines appear horizontally across the screen on low brightness. However, sometimes they dont. I dont want to call them black lines, but maybe I should say they are ghostly tv lines that are barely noticeable. Ideas?
Could someone explain the defective screen issue?, mine looks great...
The phone works great most of the time and is totally useable, the only issue is that sometimes it does these weird things as I have explained. Tomorrow is the 14 day mark, so I am having a hard time deciding if I should switch for another one just in case, or assume all of this is normal and hope the phone lasts me 2 years.

Could possibly be a GPU issue. Have you had any problems playing heavy duty 3d games?
Sent from my GT-N7100
No problems playing the Iron Man 3 game, everything seems fine.
It seems like any time the keyboard is pulled up, the screen shifts color to something more yellow. all of the keys go from a nice grey to a off grey yellow tint color. During this transition, I can literally see the screen transition as weird lines appear for a fraction of a second, like switching channels on an old TV. I tried recording this on my DSLR 1080P camera but it could not pick up the color change visibly. I might try again. It does this on Google Chrome, Facebook Messenger, Snap Chat even. sometimes it color shifts even when the keyboard is not involved. I have the auto adjustments on the screen off and the color set to Standard Mode.
The ATT store said I am a day out of my 14 day limit and there is nothing they can do. They said I have to talk to warranty and see if they will be nice enough to send me a new one. I dont want a refurb, last time that happened, I went through 4 of them. I talked to ATT support and they said they would extend my 14 days another 3 days but the ATT store said I was out of luck for an exchange for a new phone.
So no one elses screen color shifts to yellow when the keyboard pops up? Mine does this now all the time, mainly in low light. It might do it in all light situations but in sunlight I prolly just can't see it. It's incredibly annoying because the screen itself wacks out every time it does it.

Notification LED dimmer after the APD1 update ?

Has anyone noticed this ? After the APD1 update, the notification LED is quite a bit dimmer. I tried upping the screen brightness, thinking that it may obey the screen brightness settings. No luck. This really pisses me off, since I rely on that LED, given that the AOD feature does not display most notifications.
dude did the auto-restart issue solved under the new firmware ?
Same for me, notification light definitely dimmer, a shame there seems to be no apparent settings to adjust this.
I didn't notice that. What kind of led color is dimmer?

My LED doesn't appear to be dimmer after the APD1 update, though I've really only seen blue so far.

Good question and idea. It's the green color. I will switch to other colors if those are not dim, maybe red.

The green LED just got activated on my phone. I think it's just as bright as it was before the APD1 update.

Just did a test again: the LED now obeys the ambient light sensor, in bright light it is bright, and in low light it becomes dimmer (you can try by covering the sensor). Same with the AOD, as someone reported in another thread.

Under sun light the led is barely visible. Violet color in this case.

I have the "dimmed green led" issue too. APD1 here. Interestingly the first couple of activities after a full reboot for the green color are bright, then it dims... I thought of a faulty led at first but now I know I'm not alone.

Adjustment is not based upon screen brightness, which could lead to errors as screen brightness is only refreshed with phone unlocked. If you receive a notification and there's light falling directly on the ambient sensor while screen is off you'll see a bright led. If you cover the sensor (with screen off) you'll see a dimmed led. It is worthy to note that this adjustment is made only at notification arrival and not after. So if you have the phone inside a pocket you'll always see a dimmed led even if you take out the phone in the sunshine. If you have the phone out in the sunshine when notification arrives then you'll see a bright led.
I have thoroughly tested this and it's how the system now works (at least on my phone).

They also ****ed up the battery life on this update.

Confirmed its controlled via Light, so rules apply the same as OLED / Always on Display
As for the battery life, to when did you update?
People have complained about battery life, But i am yet to experience this issue everyone else is.
With that in mind, Linux is a rather complex system, and has some cleaver memory management utility's
(it does not operate like windows, Close down your apps to free up RAM, Linux does this on its own)
So keep that in mind, Then you performed a update, This no doubt a few settings to the kernel have been changed, Or even a update / patch.
So any information its retained about applications, Ram and process memory will / SHOULD be ereased and re-done
and the behaviour of the kernel is different.
As a result of this, you will notice a increase in battery drain for the first few days.
You can apply this same logic and method to Flashing Custom ROMS.
You have a Version of a customer ROM (For this example V1.0)
The developer releases V1.1 With some very minor adjustments
To ensure the running of the ROM, you wipe the device and start from Fresh.
WOW after installing this ROM am getting MASSIVE battery drain
(But give it 2 days or so and you will notice it will settle)
(After the Kernel has collected enough information about running process, whats needed whats not, what you keep opening and closes, What is needed to suspend and keep active)
The list goes on.

Nightclick & LCD vs AMOLED

Last night, I went to use my night clock app with my new LG v20. On my Note 7, the screen was totally 100% black except for the numbers.
On the v20, the entire screen was stil lit - faint, but clearly still lit up in a light light grey.
Is this just how an LCD screen works, or is there something I have to do in order to get the rest of the screen to go off.
(Note, this includes the 2nd screen which was also lit - and I had the brightness at 0%).
--
BTW, this may need to be a separate thread - on my phone I notice that the auto-brightness tends to be too dark. Any way I can adjust it to be brighter when in auto mode, or should I just go to manual ?

Try turning off second screen and see what your results are.. Second screen has a seperate black light that slightly bleeds out to the rest of the screen. It was horrible on the V10 but much improved on the 20..

The night clock app has the option to turn off the notification, which also turns off the 2nd screen.
...oops. It did, until I followed your suggestion in the other thread about the more setting to enable time/date when in full screen or notification bar hidden. I'll have to get into the habit of turning *off* the more setting at night.
(Either way, doesn't help with the slight gray background color. I can probably just get used to it as long as I'm not damaging the screen by having it slightly on all night. I need to google if LCD screens have burn in problems I guess.)

Use comfort view on low or medium. Will help lower the ~9000K color temp some and help blacks a hair. Faint glow is typical on LCDs. Higher quality LCDs and higher quality led's can help. Lg skimped here. Sucks they didn't even give us color modes to pick from. The colors are waaay off. But using comfort view dims the blue pixels and helps considerably.

That's just how LCD works, they need CCFL or LED back light to lit up the screen, it's not possible for it to be completely black while turned on. With AMOLED the individual pixels can turn off itself which is why the black are blacker on them. OLED screens also have very high refresh rates which eliminates flickering, this is good for people who are concerned with eyes health.
Lcd doesn't get burn in, but it can get ghost image retention. It was f***ing horrible by the end of my V10 usage.. Never had the problem on the G2 3 or 4. Just the V10, even after factory resetting.

Had the same issue my V10, that is my biggest V20 concern. . My v10 was not even a year old.
I get the engineering and cost reasoning, but not sure I like the lcd screens.

OnePlus 5 screen tint problem. Please help.

My OnePlus 5 has a slight red tint on the bottom half of the screen which is especially noticeable on white background at high brightness.
What's weird is though when I watch a video on YouTube even for just 30 seconds or so the tint disappears.
It comes back after 5-10 seconds though like color settings get changed or something.
Does that mean if I use an app like kcal to calibrate the display and make the tint go away?
I only ask because I know next to nothing about rooting and I don't wanna screw anything up.
I think you turned night mode on then the screen gets an red tint.

Hi, I moved from OG pixel to pixel 4 and noticed that screen has problem. On 100% on brightness when opening totally black picture screen is not totally turned off and when touching it screen greys out a bit. Is it bug or hardware issue?

I have noticed the following: When screen brightness is 50% or less and I touch the screen such as typing on keyboard, the screen flashes very slightly on every tap. It feels like the screen draws too much power and battery is low. I went to Verizon store to check display unit and it did the same thing. Maybe your issue is similar

I didn't contact Google because the store model had the same thing. I just tried to troubleshoot what could be causing it and seems that when I disable "smooth display" in settings>display and then tried to reproduce the issue by typing on the keyboard and the screen doesn't seem to flicker anymore.
Try to disable the setting on your phone and see. This might be a software issue then.

You are right I disabled smooth display and it stopped flickering but there is one more thing when brightness is on 100% and opening totally black picture I can notice little lightning of the screen in corners it means that pixels are not going off like it should be on oled screens. Could you please check it also?
It could be checked only in the dark daytime it's not noticable

Yes, of course. I turned off the lights. I have seen issues where some phones had some light seeping through(light bleed) at some edges. Is that what you see?

Even if I enable dark mode and go in settings I can see greyed screen corners.
Picture was taken from og pixel with night sight mode, It's not such noticable from eye

It is difficult to understand anything from the picture. Try some display test apps. Check to see if you have something installed such as 3rd party theme or an app that interferes with the display of your phone. Also if you can compare your phone with the one from the store.

If it is in the corner(s) then it is light bleed. The screen is good and it is just some screen backlight being seen through the frame. At least this is how I understand your situation from my previous experience.
