I came across a weird issue: No matter what App I'm trying, all screen recordings have an orange hue. I've tested with DU Recorder, AZ Screen Recorder and Game Screen Recorder. The results I'm getting are all like this (recorded the play store - you know, that should be white and green):
https://streamable.com/2spod
Is there a solution for this issue?
Is there an app that does not record with an orange hue on the Axon 7?
(Apart from that, even when recording in fixed portrait mode, the videos always end up being horizontal. I'm looking for a solution for that as well.)
EDIT: The issue was not the color settings of the screen in "Screen effect" as I was assuming. Turns out the "Night Light" setting (set on always on) was the culprit.
I hope this info helps others running into the same issue.
When you're not recording can you see the orange hue? If yes, then it might be LiveDisplay or some other screen filtering app that reduces blue color. If not then I'm not sure.
No, I can't see the orange hue when not recording - but I found the solution. See original post.

What ROM are you on? It's odd as Night Light should be adjusting the colour of the display rather than the system interface. At least you could turn it off and use a third party custom kernel KCAL based colour mod like CF.lumen, Lux Auto Brightness or F.lux to name a few.

I'm on standard "ZTA A2017GV1.2.0B10".
Well, it's also odd that the recordings were a lot more orange than what to me still looked pretty white on the original screen. Anyways... I just turn it off before recording now and back on afterwards.
Thanks for the list of alternatives though - it might come in handy in the future with other ROMs or phones.

maybe a bug on stock. Perhaps doubly orange as you recorded the orange and played it back with another layer of orange on top. Actually CF.lumen and F.lux don't require kernel KCAL but can rely on root as an alternative effect.

No - I even moved the file to the PC and it was the same intensity there, too... though it would have made sense considering it was recorded in the first place.
I'm not planning to root the device - as long as there's hope for an update from ZTE (which hopefully will come soon).

Is it possible to change somehow the tint of luminescence display? Make it more warm or cold. Display in my SGS has a very cold shade, a lot of blue. I would like to add a little red to align white.
It's a characteristic of AMOLED screen. As you use it longer, the blue tint will start reducing.
Though that doesn't change the fact that the possibility to change or affect white point and/or gamma of the display would sometimes come quite handy. The color temperature of Galaxy's display is indeed quite high, yet it is so good picture-wise that this becomes an issue (ie. when viewing photos).
Just open any movie with the stock video player. Go to Settings and then Colour Tone. It will affect the whole system.you have 3 options warmer, normal and colder. Hope this will help

That's a great tip, thanks! Even though it's most likely just a bug
So you obviously can alter the display's color temperature system wide somehow. I wonder if this could be made into an app with customizable warmth settings... Too bad I'm not a programmer...
And speaking of the devil...

Menu - settings - 3º option
It appears blank on my phone, but leads you to temperature settings
The screen has a blue reflection when off. I also tested it playing the same video on the phone and on my laptop (300 nits LED screen) and the video on the phone was defintely more green-blue.
This is more noticeable on low brightness setting, try it on Kindle app, test settings, you have a slider for brightness. You'll see how low brightness leads to a blue-green tint, not neutral gray.
if some one could could develop an app for the sgs that does this i would pay.
settings menu is only available if you start the videoplayer app and select a video to play within.
if you start a video from the gallery, there is no option

Is the galaxy s i9000 different in this respect from the samsung vibrant. My vibrant does allow me to adjust color tone in the video player, but IT DOES NOT change the color tone of the WHOLE SYSTEM. Once I exit out of the player, everything is back to blue. Also the warm tone in the video player looks fake, just applies red on top of the blue, looks weird.
I've been trying out Professional Photo mode for awhile now but it just seems yellow-ish.
Standard seems to be okay.
Does anyone else have similar issues?
I was told that Professional Photo mode is more color-accurate

That mode has a larger colour space meant for certain professional photo apps. For movies, and everyday normal life use Movie mode. If you like exaggerated colours go for one of the other options.

Adapt Display Yes.
Auto-brightness No.
I use a Black Background on my Homescreen with White Text (DashClock) and it looks yellowish in either Pro Photo Mode or Movie Mode
I have tried professional photo as well, but somehow went back to standard mode. But for reading books, professional mode is nice as the screen looks warmer.

Weird, I use Ocean HD (beautiful live wallpaper) mostly since I got mine on a charger 90% of the time and discharge it fully every 2-4 weeks. Maybe I forgot to mention a setting or it is a defect of some kind (software or hardware).
Worst case you could reset your phone to default and immediately set it to Movie mode to see if your clean phone already has these problems. Hope you get this resolved soon, and by simple means.

maybe it is something wrong with my eyes. Standard is definitely more blue whereas Pro Photo and Movie are more warm in color.
there's a switch when I reboot my phone from Blue hue to warm.

Yes, after a reboot it starts at a default screen mode setting and after a couple of seconds it checks your settings and then changes it. I noticed this an hour or so ago on my Note 3.

The default is Adapt Display, which on your homescreen exaggerates colours, so my blue underwater Ocean HD screen looks even more blue. It switches to 'normal' blue.
I just checked some more settings, but are you by any chance using Power saving mode or any of those other fancy settings? Having owned 7 Samsung Galaxy devices by now I always immediately make a round through all settings and switch off everything that is useless (to me). I hate stuff like auto-brightness, which may be great in a car if you use the phone hands free.

hmm I use power savings mode but only Limit CPU and Disable Haptic Feedback. I unchecked Auto Adjust Screen Tone too (it supposedly saves power)
Do you use Lux to adjust brightness?
hmm. mine is a black background with just DashClock in White Text. it gets a little yellowish.
In Standard. it is like mint white.

I would disable Power savings etc. for now to see if it helps. I remember some option with "Lux" in it, but really I just disabled Auto-brightness and adjust the brightness level in the notification panel.

I gave it a try before but it still looks kinda warm/yellow. it is not like there is a yellow tint/screen but the screen just looks warmer.
I've actually never seen an Amoled with Perfect white color.. always a bit to the warm side..
I tried both Movie and professional mode, don't like them at all more yellowish/greenish on the white
especially when comparing it to an IPS LCD screen... then the NOTE 3 is very warm and a tiny bit greenish on white (standard mode) only really visible when side by side with example LG G2...
But then on the LG G2 skin tones looks a bit pale, and with to blueish/cold
so it comes down to what you prefer
I'm a bit torn between them... but when it comes down to choosing I think i prefer the Note 3 screen...

Hi
So let's take a break from pursuing after Lollipop and improve what we have
Well, many of us know that a report came out suggesting that 'blue light' emitting from screens of mobile phones, TVs, PCs etc is harmful to the eye and causes sleeping problems.
And then many apps started coming out which remove/filter the blue light from phone screens, such as Bluelight Filter, Dark Screen, Twilight etc.
These apps do what they say but :-
1) They don't do it perfectly
2) You have to manually disable them each time you install something or grant superuser access to an app
3) Few of them consume fair amount of battery
4) And some people may be annoyed by the fact that it always stays on the notification bar.
So here's another the way of removing the blue light without causing any of the above mentioned problems
The way is to change the kernel settings, rather the screen color settings by using kernel tweaking apps like Faux123, Trickster Mod etc which almost every custom kernel user has.
So open your kernel tweaking app and go to' Screen' settings or 'Screen Color' settings or whatever is there and just reduce the quantity of the blue color according to your preference
I have attached a screenshot of blue light being reduced using Trickster Mod app.
Don't forget to hit thanks if this helps
Thanks for the tip,
I've seen someone using bluelight filter app with his z3 compact, i couldn't figure why. Now i know. The screen of his phone looked pinky though.

Which version of trickster mod did you use, i do not see anything related to screen settings in the version i have
Yellowish color screen after flashing arymod 4.0 or Flex_Lollipop Rev2.1, also tried 3 different kernels: LP_Xplorer_Rev1.7, darkqueen latest and perseo matergold. Still can´t get rid of this yellowish tint when the screen gets dimmer.
A photo would be good, I guess?
So you have only two options, either flash Stock ROM and have the display as it was, or you can use the app Screen Adjuster and turn up the Blue channel to neutralize the Yellowish effect. Remember, with that app you will just be masking the tint, not get rid of it, well not fundamentally.

Thanks for the help, I've also tried that app but the problem is if I neutralize at lower dim when brightness goes up the colors are messed up again. I´ll post screenshot.
I was going to post screenshot but it doesn´t show the problem and I don't have a secundary camera to take a photo.
xinfinityoO said to try and use synapse "Tip for the people with yellowish color hue
Go to synapse / screen and enable mdnie control , there you change the "Digital edge enhancement", try every sharpness value."
But color still messed up
Oh okay. Then you will have to ditch either the ROM or the kernel, I can't be sure which one is causing that (or maybe this is intentional), look for which one says stuffs about display tweaking, should be mentioned under the details of either the ROM or the kernel.
And screenshot won't capture that actually, a photo is needed, from a camera. Screenshots from all the Note 3 of the world will look all same.

I thought there was way to upload a synapse profile or something that could neutralize this. Everything works like a charm and at high brightness there is no yellowish issue only when it's dimmer.
Oh Synapse, no idea mate, have stopped using that buggy piece of software a long time ago (no offence).

It was actually my first time using it and only to try and solve this issue but did find it quite unstable.
I came from an S7 EDGE and I just got my OP5 and there's something I hate about my new phone. Every photos videos on YouTube, Reddit , internet in general looks washed out. The colors are good but when you pay attention, you can see the same artefacts you see on a highly compressed video/photo. In other words, the screen looks like it's not even a 8 bit color panel. Do you guys know a solution about this? I never saw this problem on any phone ( I'm a cellphone seller in Canada ), not even on my S7 EDGE, Alcatel IDOL 3, Nexus 5
Maybe it's because it's pentile or something
You might want to change the screen calibration method under settings / display and see if that helps at all.
Unfortunately the problem is still existent. Look at the uploaded screenshot with your phone The colors on the dialer supposed to be gradient but it's not. That my problem .

The dialer looks lighter at the top and darker at the bottom--are you saying there isn't enough transition between the two or that the colors in the screenshot are inaccurate? You might want to do a search for gradient android dialers (which should have screenshots) to verify the problem is with the phone rather than with the specific app you are using. All of the gradient screenshots I pulled up looked fine on my phone but the color changes were a lot more subtle than the one you provided. It's possible you have a bad display or that it's calibrated incorrectly for some reason. I've never noticed any problems with the colors on my OP5 and never read a complaint similar to yours.
You might want to make sure Night Mode or Reading Mode aren't on in settings because both would affect the colors.
Also make sure ambient display is off to verify that isn't doing anything screwy.
Have you rooted your phone or installed a custom kernel or anything like that? Do the colors look exactly the same when you boot into safe mode?
I see the banding in the dialer (the background where the dialpad is). Given that it's a screenshot though, that part is likely to be how OnePlus designed the dialer app (screen issues wouldn't show up in a screenshot).
