hello xda members,
I am very sorry if i posted in wrong section but i have a mega panic attack
i bought a new galaxy s4 and within a day i noticed that white colors are kinda yellowish
on acknowledging it i called samsung and they told me to go the service centre
when i visited the service centre the person there was like it's not any fault and this happens when the manufacturing of the display is different due to version or time
he made me compare it with a reddish white phone and a blueish white phone
the bluewish white phone was much superior and the quality was perfect, the reddish one was pathetic
in all he told me there was no defect in the phone and it was perfect but i find it really hard to believe as the quality of my display is so poor and pathetic ,attached an image of me comparing the display of s4 with my monitor screen(20 inch LG LED monitor i guess)
so i want to ask is this normal because i m having a really hard time on the thought of living with this display
so m planning to go to the head office of samsung tomorrow and see if they find this issue or not
had such wonderful time with s2,miss those days with s2
i thought upgrading will be worth it after living with s2 but it has made my life miserable

My display has a little bit yellowish white too when I compare it to my LED Screen. But it doesn't bother me, cause I know it's the way amoled displays work. They never had perfect white when compared to IPS or LED.
Edit: I think your S4 has more yellowish tint than mine does. But it may be cause the camera plays with the saturation or so. Dunno.
Thanks for your reply i read in some threads that this is what you pay for clearer blacks,
but in my s2 i get whites almost same as in LED monitor, My s4 is more yellower than the LCD on my old laptop
I am having hard time accepting this yellowish white
and will give it a try at the samsung centre again tomorrow and update the result
It is not normal... too yellowish as I see on your picture.. mine is fine.. demand a replacement...

well talk about tough luck and malpractices
samsung hit me hard this time
they kept the device for 2 days telling me that it was a software issue , they didn't even do anything with the device just kept for 2 days so that m out of the 7 day period for replacement
they are telling me that i am the only one reporting this issue so they can't do anything if i had 5-10 people with the same issue then only they will do something
In all just wasted all my money on the s4 and feelling like throwing it in dustbin

Hi , my name is Stefan and i am new on the forum ...
Regarding yellow tint display if somebody have an advice ,anything to solve this.
I must confess that although I have changed three screens, I have the same problem ...the display is not trully white .
The comparison is made in the same conditions : both phones are on 5.0.1 Lollipop,brightness is on maximum,adaptive mode display,auto adjust screen tone.
If somebody can tell me what is the problem , please because i don't understand why and how is possible ?
Screens can be recognized by a code, a serial number or manufacturer / supplier or is there something to differentiate between them ? From where to buy or achieve a display that have non tint yellow screen ?
Any advice is welcome because here i think is my last chance to find out what is it about...
Thank you
Have you tried to remove screen protector, just to check that its not that?
Yes , sure that i removed also screen protectoon but is the same yellow tint dispay !
And another important aspect also is , if you look carefully to my pictures beside that my dispalay has yellow tint , the colours are less vivid
Did u change the display settings

if you have the cinema mode for display selected then its because of that
You can't make anything to fix it. Mine screen is like yours. Also change my phone 3 times and always the screen is the same.
I've white phone like you. I think the problem is with white phone manufactured during 2015. I think 2014 phones doesn't have this problem.
Cheers.
No way ! My phone is always on adaptive display screen mode and auto adjust screen tone
These are the most recommended settings for Note 4, so far i know ...

I never thought at this ...what are you saying is incredible for me , this don't solve the problem but i must confess that i' m really very shocked !!! And yes , indeed you are right ! I took an app, from Play Store called Phone Info *Samsung* and manufacturing date is 2015.02.03 ,made in Vietnam
If you are right is something unbelievable !!!
So for me it's easy to find out if you're right about what you said, because tomorrow I will go and i will check if all phones that have white screens compared with my phone are manufactured in 2014.
And after that, I'll post the results here !

As i promised i'm back with the results after i checked today 4 phones that have white screens from different suppliers and situation is as follows :
1.From 2 different Orange stores i checked 2 phones both on black colour ( they sell only black colour) , first one SM-910F(snapdragon variant) was manufactured on 2014.10.08/made in Vietnam and the second SM-910X(demo unit phone) don' t appear any date of manufacturing just made in Vietnam.
2.From Media Galaxy store i checked 1 phone SM-910C (octacore exynos variant) white colour and this was manufactured on 2015.01.19/ made in Vietnam.
3.From official Samsung store i checked SM-910X (demo unit phone) ,don't appear any date of manufacturing just made in Vietnam.
While I was in the official Samsung store, I met someone, who had bought a Note 4 from same supplier as me and the phone was the same colour white , same model (SM-910F) but this person told me that bought the phone in 2014 and we checked together with the Phon Info app and yes indeed the phone was manufactured in 2014 / made in Vietnam but this phone don't have white screen !!! but the phone screen although it was manufactured in 2014, the screen was more yellow than my phone which is made in 2015 !!!
And another thing would be that my phone which is compared in pictures with the phone screen from Media Galaxy store, but it is also manufactured in 2015 , the same as mine,this phone has a white screen and not a yellow screen like my phone .
So the final conclusion :
is NOT TRUE that all the Samsung Note 4 phones manufactured until year 2015 have white screens and the phones manufactured after year 2014 have a off white/ tint yellow screen !!!
Ok, It was a guess, because in my country almost Note from 2015 have this yellow screen, also new Galaxy S6 have too.
It's true that if you search you can find a good screen but I think 75% of probability is to find bad screen.
Cheers.
I got my note 4 shortly after it was released in Oct 2014. The past month I noticed only the upper half of my screen has a yellow tint to it. I've already tried display settings. Also tried resetting the phone and clearing system cache. It isn't the screen protector. I've investigated many forums and took every advice I can find and still the upper half of my screen has a yellow tint. I see a ton of people have this issue. This phone is supposed to be good for video and video editing along with photography Kind of hard to determine a good picture if half the screen is yellow. I am sure Samsung is aware of this issue but why have they not resolved it? Seems like a recall would have been made on the phones and replacements sent out. Paid over $800 for this phone, I could have kept my old Note 2 and invested in a good camera instead. This really needs to get fixed. If Samsung customer service is going to be this bad I will go with HTC or Iphone.
Try to set it like that!!!

i have the same problem ... i try to install KCAL app .... but when i open it i got this problem
Hello everyone!
I saw lots of posts on the internet about the nexus 6P having dome sort of tint either pink or yellow. I do not know if mine does that. I mean looking at it straight it looks ok. But my problem is that at the slightest tilt of the phone the color change a bit to something a little greenish/bluish. Also at big angles the screen has a rainbow effect that i didn't notice on a s6 edge, for example.
I do not know if this is normal. It is a bit annoying because having the google keyboard which is a greyish color when i tilt it a bit it gets a little greenish. Is that normal? What should I do? I checked the manufacturing date and it is in Octomber.
The model is a 32GB Graphite.
Best regards!
Anyone?
That's amoled screens for you
It looks kinda weird. I checked with a friend's s6 edge and we t does not act like this. Mine is like...white...tilt it right greenish...tilt it left...greenish....tilt it a lot on either side...rainbow. Is an amoled screen supposed to do this?
Yes I bet your friends s6 edge has it to some extent or in a different colour. I've has 4 s6 phones 2 tab s 10.5 and 1 tab s2. They all have it to a certain extent. Some worse than others but a slight tint is the best your going to get
I have the same issue too on my 6P! And I also happen to own an S6 edge, just like you've mentioned, the Samsung phone had no color shifting. I don't really think an AMOLED is supposed to do this.

I love my 6P...i just thing the screen is not that excellent. Should I ask for s replacement? Just tuping this and moving my fingers on the keyboard I can see the color of the keyboard shifting...this is annoying
I think you should ask for a replacement. My unit seems to be not as bad as yours. I only get that color shifting at higher viewing angles.
I think your obsessing and looking at it too much try another one

I noticed it on mine immediately. I had an s3 and it never happened on that so I'm not sure you can blame it on amoled. Also, it was so bad in mine, it took away any advantage of having amoled screen. It was worse than any lcd screen I had in recent years. I returned and got a refund.
Too bad, 6P is a great phone.
I'm really just nitpicking at this point, and I wouldn't ever return my device over something so minor. But for example, when you are charging your device, with the red LED active, do you notice some red light bleed where the body meets aluminum chassis? Other bright notification LEDs also make it easy to see. This is primary noticeable in dark environments.
S7 edge black
Oh, I thought you said that the display LED was bleeding, which is impossible since the display doesn't have LEDs, but no, I haven't noticed any notification LED bleed (yet, on my gold version), but I'll keep an eye on it. Not the biggest issue though if it's there, since it's only there when charging.
What color phone? I don't sees that on my black one

I have the gold version, and it does that bit. But its no biggie to me
that is what you call a reflection bet you have the gold version to lol
It's actually the black one. It doesn't seem like reflection since it's between the gap of the glass and aluminum. It doesn't bother me, it's actually very tiny, but I just want to make sure I'm not the only one with it.
It's not something I actually noticed until it was completely dark in my room.

"Meh", nothing's perfect, and it's only when it's charging, so I wouldn't bother at all. Spend your energy on something else. It seems like it's rather normal
Well I mean it's more than charging, it's any notification. But right, I'm no worried. Just more or less curious if this was on every black s7 edge.
Found this discussion - http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/gap-edge-glass-metal-frame-t3348952/page2
It seems like it all might be related? However I can't physically see a big gap or stick paper between the openings.

Mine have problem too #S7EdgeGOLD. It seem Samsung QC are lazy to check (too many device with this gap).
I think it would be better to exchange your device as if the light bleeds the water resistance might be compromised. The glass should be glued to the metal body and the light from the notification LED shouldn't be able to pass through the glue if everything was alright. Well, this is my opinion though, it might not be an issue however have one in mind.

Did you replace it? Yeah i send my device back to Bhinneka(Indonesian Online Store); but they waiting until Samsung Indonesia give statement the device is broken. Waiting other people share video a Normal Version of Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge(Without GAP).
Samsung Indonesia don't have brain to think, light shouldn't pass if they persistent glued between metal & glass. And about GLUE// for maybe 3-10 times put it on water maybe no problem. What about if we put more than that maybe GLUE will break too.
Really sad purchasing this phone in Indonesia.
Just checked mine, and I can't see any light bleed or gap(s) on mine (gold one).
Now I'm getting a little worried about the waterproofing. I'm at day 15 of my purchase so I'd probably have to fight if I want to return it. Wut woh :/
So my tech OCD is killing me. Decided I'm going to try another device. Ugh.
Someone please tell me I'm crazy for exchanging a device over something so minor.
Here is an example picture of what mine is like in low light. But my phone is black and not gold.

If have no problem with GAP please post pictures of TOP bezel when LED notification is ON. Capture using video is appreciated you're helping people to claim to Samsung.
My unit is only 1-2hours with me and send it back to seller. Dunno, will it replace or return with same device.
Thanks

Yeah you can ignore it. Same as if your glass break but still work. We can ignore it or replace it. It depends dude, and for me for Rp. 9.799.000 or about $750 device should worth with perfect device. I'm using Redmi Note 3 cost me less than $150, Chinese smartphone but no problem with build.
First time flagship and facing problem like this. Dunno what kind of standard they put on QC test.

Hey there, I've recently installed AEX 5.8 and after a few days of usage, I realised that my phone got 2 dead pixels. They're visible as extra white spots only on white background. I was using curved substratum layer to make display edges rounded, could it be because of that?
Any help or feedback is appreciated and would be beneficial for other users....

The only thing curve could have done was burn in your screen which is easy to fix on an lcd display
When I bought my psp I got a dead pixel and the device was new... It happens sometimes especially on cheap display or badly tested ones before they put it in the device
You can't do anything for it expect maybe use the warranty
