justed updated to 2.3.3 and the colors seem VERY washed out
anyone else notice this?
Same here, many others with the same issue. This sucks!
damn i know! not using the screen to its full capabilities. oh well. voodoo color is always an alternative.
Anyone whos rooted installed this update ? can we re-root and unlock bootloader ? and then install a old nadroid back up?
yes after you update, you have to fastboot flash clockwork, then boot into clockwork and flash the su zip. then if you want clockwork to stick (not get overwritten after every reboot) you have to rename the file called "install-recovery.sh" in the /etc folder. i just rename it to install-recovery.sh.old

I am running a stock NS on 2.3.3 and I run my display brightness to just above the lowest possible setting. What I noticed after loading 2.3.3 was the screen looked dimmer at that same brightness setting. I simply upped it a little bit and now it looks fine to me. I don't see any yellow tint or anything.

well i usually set it to auto brightness, but after upping it a little bit, it is improved. i wish it was better at lower brightness levels.
colours on mine seems washed out too...
i have the same issue, the colors are more horrible than was in 2.3.2
The colors have always been horrible on the ns with the auto-brightness setting. Voodoo ftw!

Damn, the 2.3.3 update converts our AMOLED screen to a SLCD screen
Yes the screen looks terrible. Google NEEDS to fix this..
Looks like they changed the whitepoint from cool blue to warm yellow. Gonna take some getting used to. Meh.
I've always left my phone on auto brightness since I first got it. With this update the colours look more natural but looks like they have knocked down the contrast a few notches and upped the brightness a touch. The greys definitely look a few shades lighter. Its probably more at reference level now, im sure ill get used to it.

yes, just updated here as well and same thing. i really notice it on the whites, seem very yellowish... other than that looks normal to
It looks like the autobrightness feature is set a little lower than before. And, it is a lot slower to readjust to changes in ambient light. If I manually increase the brightness, then my screen doesn't look any different than before the update.

The greys actually look like grey now. Before the update, it was a bit reddish, the redness is very obvious when the screen brightness is set to low (and if you activate the Screen Filter app, the redness becomes more obvious).

The colors may look different . . . I think it looks better if anything.
After the Nexus S 2.3.3 update the colors are way off
I posted a link about this at Google's forum center. Here's the link.

The colors on the screen are gorgeous and bright, but black text on a white or gray background is actually pretty dim, much dimmer than even my Inspire. Is this just a limitation of the ameoled screen, or do I have a bad phone? Is there any fix if it's typical? Pretty much a deal breaker for me if I can't fix this... Thanks for any help!
Black text on a white background is as plain as night and day for me. Id say check out the store demo to compare. If the demo is better than yours, swap out.

Good call, I'll do that. Out of curiousity, what was your last phone, and have you compared black on white with it? Thanks!
There is a setting under display that says 'anaylize images and adjust screen brightness' to save battery. This is checked by default and was not on the og s2. This is also separate from the auto adjust brightness to ambient light. I found that when i unclicked this, all my screen concerns went away.

Thanks! That was driving me crazy. It was very prevalent in the stock email app. I can't believe I overlooked that stupid box...lol.
Where is this setting I don't see it in display. The white and black drives me crazy with this phone.

Settings>Display>Auto adjust screen power. Uncheck that box.
It will put a little more drain on your battery, but it's more than worth it, and hardly noticeable to me.
Thanks.. Still seems like the colors are off compared to the Epic.

When set to auto does anyone have the screen lighten up then darken as you browse through a site?
It is really noticeable when I am on Google+(white background). I don't remember having this happen on my G2. Anyways I now don't use auto.
Just wondering if its normal.

It might be that while holding your phone you cover the light sensor and by that simulate dark surroundings?
I would guess that you have it near some surface. So when it shows white background, the light reflects from surface and the sensor thinks its "bright" outside, so turns on the brightness. As you surf and see some picture or change page (or w/e what doesnt have so much white) the sensor detencs that its not that bright anymore and turns down brightness...
Atleast that would be my guess. Screen does make some light and sensor can get affected by it (its above screen, u can see it true glass).
I noticed this too while playing on the demo at a TMobile store. It was only when I went to the HTC Play or movies or whatever it's called. Some of the movies would darken the screen when they started playing. Kind of odd. I wasn't moving around (changing light on the phone). Just standing there at the counter playing with it.

This happens to me as well, along with this yellow tint when on low brightness, anybody else getting the yellow tint? Or is it just me?

I believe I have seen this as well. Brief, full screen, yellow flicker/tint.
Happened to me during, or immediately after, the unlock/flash/root process, and haven't seen it since. Happened with a new notification came in, seemed to almost revolve around the notification bar. Is this consistent with what you saw?
This is common amongst a lot of light sensors. Happened to me on my Vibrant and when I had a iphone.

Retail Moto G, nothing changed from stock except an unlocked bootloader.
Got Lollipop pushed yesterday, and afterwards, the screen looks different. The saturation looks off, and blacks looks deeper. I tried messing with the brightness, I turned on and off the adaptive brightness, and nothing seems to get the screen to look like it did under KitKat.
Did Lollipop change the graphics driver for the device? It looks like some type of sub pixel shading or something is going on. It's giving me a headache.
We need a picture of it

It will be easier to look at this problem if you provide a picture or screenshot of the device with display ON. :fingers-crossed:
Is it possible that this is a placebo effect?
I've had Z3 since january and never had any problems with it. Yesterday I installed 5.1.1 Nordic build and while all went smoothly I have this problem with contrast or gamma right after unlocking screen. It goes all the way up, stays crazy for a few seconds and than goes normal. It is incredibly annoying. It is not brightness which goes way up, but contrast or gamma as it washes out the colors and looks horrible.
It happens only if Adaptive brightness is turned on, and no matter if it is dark or light outside. Tried playing with X-reality but no change.
I really have no idea what is going on, so any ideas are welcome.
Thank you for your time!
it's a known bug on the new .546 build
Ahh than I'm cool Thanks, where do you follow the known bugs and stuff? I searched here and didn't find anything
Yeah. I'm having the same issue with . 546, is so annoying
Oh yes me too, after 5.1.1, just turn off adaptive brightness. At least after the new update released
Edit: i thought the problem is only with notification shade pulled down, it's actually on all display?? Now it really is annoying to me, although not too much

It happens to me too .. I do not know what to do !!
.580 didn't fix this problem, nor the bold clock on the lockscreen.
This is not only since the .546 version.
It was there on 5.0.2. Atleast for me...
So I notice something funky today
I'm on Nov sec patch
Dark theme on
If I open the dialler the themes is grey
However if I bring brightness to <50%
Lock my screen then unlock it the theme / colour goes almost purple?
I tried taking screenshots but the result is the same grey colour
Anyone else experiencing this?
Yes, it's the way the screen works at the moment. Its why the 90htz was only used at higher brightness levels, but they tried to please the people complaining about it (Nov patch) and here we are.
So yes it's "normal" behavior for now.

But this shouldn't happen. The 90hz isn't an excuse. It's a bug. The OnePlus didn't ever have this issue .
I've turned always on display and the issue goes away, but if I get a notification the horrible green returns, I turn the screen off and back on and it goes back to normal ...no tint. It's a really fustrating and rubbish bug

Take off force 90hz just leave smooth display on
No aod, or motion sense and no adaptive brightness or ambient eq
Put the brightness down in a dark room, open the dialler, lock the screen the unlock it
I just tried it on 3 pixel 4xls and all had the same thing
You can see the color change back when you put the brightness back up
Sometimes it doesn't stick but changes back pretty quick
At times it gets stuck purple ish

I guess that's why they disabled 90hz under 75% brightness originally

I know how to do it, and as I stated, I can't seem to replicate it on my 4XL. Brightness was at 15% when I tried it yesterday evening after sundown and in absolute darkness of my bedroom. Didn't test it prior to November Patch, so I can't tell if I had it previously.

Maybe but I don't believe it's hardware limitations or the OnePlus would be the same or the green tint would be there all the time. Debating wether to get the 7t pro or try another 4 XL but it's driving me nuts. Why Google why lok

It's probably not going to be fixed until next month by the earliest. So either you have to put up with it or return it and get a different device. Sounds like returning it will be your best route cuase it seems to bothering you to the point where it's starting to cause stress/distress in your life and nothing is worth that honestly.

Good luck! I'm tired of the exchange game for oleds, it's very tiring. Did it with the Pixel 2 and now the galaxy tab 6 and did it once for this device for the purple hue and I just want to stop now. All the back and forth with Google support just saps the life right out of my body. Then having to pack everything up and set it all up put another screen protector. I still have a tab s6 with uniformity issues that doesn't show up in normal usage so I just gave up lol.. Years ago I would of kept going until I got perfection/near perfection with the chance of possibly having Amazon blacklist my account from all the returns/exchanges.
