Blue tint when screen is dimmed? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I have an odd blue tint on my screen when it dims. I had another Nexus S before and this didn't happen, how do I fix this? It's only when the screen is dimmed or the brightness is low.

Same I took mine to best buy and the guy said that some screens are just like that and that's theres nothing wrong with it and he wouldn't let me return it. I'm a little bitter and I like ruin on sentences.

I have been noticing a strange tint when the screen is dimmed on my phone as well. I generally run it on mid brightness just because the thing looks so damn beautiful to have dim all the time.

Trust me, you don't want to return that one. The blue tint screen is the closest to true color display. Most of us are unfortunate to have the purple tint display, and trust me, it's ugly compared to the blue tint issue!

[Q] Yellow Tint on Top of Screen

Does anyone else have a screen that has a slight yellow tint on the top? It's noticeably obvious if you are on an all white (or mostly) screen like the google website. It's not uniform with the entire screen as the middle to bottom would look white while the top would look yellowish white. I don't wanna bash but I'm really tired of HTC qc these days. I have not encountered a flawless G2 (returned 4 times) or myTouch 4G (returned 3 times). If it's not a really loose hinge, it's the dead pixels, dust under the screen, and now yellow tint on top of the screen. Not to mention the off-centered ffc which I don't really mind. I think I'm gonna go to HTC and ask for a replacement once enough time has passed production has settled down.
I had one like that, returned it and got one with dust under the screen =/

Yea it's always one defect or another with this phone. Getting tired of it.
Hi waiaung1,
Can you take a short photo for the yellow tint issue?

The capacitive buttons...

... are they supposed to light up white? Cause mine are sort of a blueish periwinkle color. I don't mind, I like it honestly, but I was just wondering if that's normal or if my phone is just an odd duck.
I've had three units so far, all of them had the color you are taking about, which is in my opinion much better than white.
Now, check yours and see if they are evenly lit? Cause mines had a little uneven lighting across the four buttons.

mine are the same.. coming from my evo it was my first thought.. Havent seen any posts on this so i come to accept it.
Mine's bluish too.
Cool... I really like the color, it goes well with all my blue & purple clock skins, lol...
Mine look pretty evenly lit, the middle buttons are just barely dimmer than the others but almost imperceptibly so. It's probably just the position of the LEDs, I wouldn't sweat it unless it's really obvious.
same here, but not much dimmer, just a slight fade on the top left of the menu button...also, how many ppl were hoping that these buttons rotated with the screen as well, like the incredible S? :/ that would have been nice

Yes, the middle buttons are a little dimmer. No biggie. I was also hoping for the rotating buttons !

[Q] yellow tint

Has anyone noticed/experienced a yellowish tint on their g2x? It is very noticeable on my phone whenever there is any kind of white background, and it is only in the bottom left corner area. Im on my second g2x and everything else is great, but this is starting to bug me. Is this something that can be fixed?

If it is screen bleed, it's not the "typical" screen bleed that lots of people experience to different degrees. I do have minimal bleed in the upper corners, but this is different. Unlike regular bleed, It's noticable on bright-colored screens (like white). For example, if I am reading text on white background, the bottom left corner looks yellowish - almost like it's dirty.
I noticed this, too. My screen is more yellow than my wife's g2x, but hers has some screen bleed. I honestly like the slight yellow tint. Much easier on the eyes, and colors on this phone look more natural.

Here is a video of the yellow tint problem I uploaded 2 days after I purchased it. Since then, I've had 3 replacements, each one fixed one issue but magnified another. Out of all of the issues the device has, this is the only one i can tolerate.

My fourth one had the worst screen bleed and this tint issue. It was very obvious. Because the bleed bleed was the worst on that one I assumed the tint was because of that.
me too

Purplish Display?

I have a Note 2 and a Nexus 5. When I first turned on my N5 I noticed something was up with the display (not the camera). Then when I put it side by side with my note 2 it was obvious that the N5 has a bad purple tint to the white screens.
My nexus 5 has a warm display, but not purplish. The whites have a slight reddish hue.
Mine is massively too warm, whites are yellow

Well thats good that the displays seem to at least be consistently off. Should be easier to rectify. Either way the display still looks gorgeous even though the colors are off a bit. Will look stunning once someone gets a kernel out there that allows us to properly calibrate the colors.
Mine is really brownish warm too with backlight bleeding in the corners. I'll take a picture next to my Nexus 4 when I get home.
In the meantime, could someone take a side by side picture of their Nexus 4/5 using a white background?
Thanks.

Screen Bleed and Suck Pixel...RMA?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpGzXM1TcEg&feature=youtube_gdata_player
I've gotten a little worried about all the talk here regarding screen defects. Made a quick video to see what you think?
At the first boot I did notice a stuck pixel on upper edge of screen....greenish. Didn't think that would bother me much. Decided to get one of the test apps and take a look. Its hardly visible... Mostly on dark screens.
I did notice on the black screen some bleed light. Not sure if that is a little inevitable with LED screens. It changes a bit if u squeeze the bezel. Just not used to that coming from AMOLED Note. Blacks on this are way better but whites on Nexus are better.
Thanks.
