Captivate yellow tint? Not blue

Has anyone ever experienced a yellow tint on their captivate? I just received my 2nd Captivate from AT&T after doing an exchange. The 2nd one seems to be darker and has an obvious yellow coloring on the screen. It makes it look like a summer 6pm afternoon sunlight casting over the colors.
The first one was more white and bright. I know many people have said they've experienced a blue tint, but has anyone experienced a yellow one? I'm seriously deciding if I should send this one back as well.

I just got a replacement phone from Amazon. It does have a yellowish Tint. I can make it go away by turning off auto brightness.

I think I'm going to contact AT&T and get another replacement. I paid non commitment pricing on this phone and I just don't feel satisfied with the QC. If I were to turn off auto brightness, it only makes it a little better, but compared to my original one, it still has a "dirty yellow" look to it. Plus, turning off auto brightness will make it drain my battery faster, so I find it unfair that I have to do that.

Here are my photos I just snapped right now using the "Screen Test" app.
The screen on the right is my 1st original Captivate
The screen on the left is the 2nd replacement Captivate

I guess my first one (right) is considered to be the ones with "blue" tint, but I actually favor that over the one on the left because it's much brighter. As you can see in the photo, the one on the left actually looks washed out and dull. The color is not as vibrant, and gives a yellow / dirty brown look to it.
I already called for a 3rd captivate to be sent in to me, I hope that one will be much better.

I'm in the same boat as you, mike. I just got my replacement yesterday, and it's more red. My original has the blue tint. I prefer the blue tint as well. I'm going to request another replacement and see how that goes.

Yea, it doesn't look as bright. I'm receiving another replacement in the mail tomorrow, I really hope it'll be brighter.
What are you going to do if your NEXT replacement is red again lol

Haha I'm not sure yet. BTW, is the vibration on your replacement a lot louder than your original? Mine is and it's annoying. That's actually the main reason i am getting another replacement.

Hmm, I havent been able to really notice. I turn off the haptic feedback on my phones, and I've had the ring tone on, so I cant really say on that one

Front-facing camera

Is the actual lens of your front-facing camera completely centered in the black circle? Mine is off to the side.

mine also was gonna ask the same thing mine is to the right

mine as well

Mine is off to the right of the middle. I also noticed I have to hold the phone at an angle to center my face on the screen. Anyone else notice that as well?

Mines off the the right as well. I did notice this on the demo phones at T-Mobile. I think it's just a production thing? Don't let it get to you.

Yay mine is centered perfectly, I win. Woot woot!!!
Seriously though, my camera is centered.

Mine's off-centered in the circle. Additionally I have to hold my phone tilted down and to the left to center my face. Thinking about getting it exchanged.

Just in case there weren't already enough confirmations of this, mine is off the to the side as well.

mine is off a bit too. I have to hold the phone at a bit of an angle in order for my face to be centered. Visually, the camera is shifted a CH to the right. Not a big deal for me.
I did call T-Mobile for a different issue. The CS rep asked how my phone was and I mentioned the camera issue. He says there wasn't anything in the system about build issues with the camera angle but he did make a note of it.

Centered on mine, good batch in my case

Mine is centered and my ugly mug displays right in the middle of this awesome phone.

Mine is off also but at least i got the high quality display lol...

Mine is off but I would gladly like to have the better display instead anyday.

so if you have a centered camera you have the bad display but if you have off centered camera its the good display? has anyone tested this theory yet? i would much rather have the better display if thats the case.

No, I have off centered camera and bad display.

Mine seems fine to me. Maybe off by a hair but it works perfectly and that is all I care about.

Light Bleed

Anyone else have it this bad? Looks like I'm going back to Best Buy for a replacement unless this is normal. Yes that should be a black screen.

I get a little but I only notice it during startup. Otherwise it's not visible that I can tell. I'll pay more attention today.

I have some minor light bleed on the bottom and right hand sides (when in landscape), nut nowhere near the level of light bleed in your picture - I would return for a replacement.

I had that kind of bleed in my first device. Sent it back and got a great build unit with very nominal bleed. Definitely take it back.

If you don't like it take it back while you still can. Don't want to regret something you could of remedied. I have some light bleed on my lower corners but don't notice it at all, only during boot.

Called the Best Buy by my work and they have them in stock. Going during lunch to return for a new. I will update everyone on how the replacement looks.

Ya, black is looks good but the chrome looks ok too, kinda.

Definitely Chrome (unusual+classy+useful mirror+no scratched paint+less heat under the sun) [emoji4]

Will get the black one, to replace my Nexus 6P.

Pre-ordered the black one. None of the available pictures really show what either of them looks like as if seeing them in person. I was interested in the Chrome one at first because the pictures made it look good. But in reality, after reading several reviews from those who have held it in hand, it is basically like having mirrors on the front and back. Too distracting...too much "bling" for me. So even though the Deep See Black is certainly reflective it has to be better than the Chrome. Even the official Sony Mobile site makes them look more matt than highly reflective. Can't wait to see them in person.

Hardest decision I have to make in my life haha but leaning toward the black one cuz it looks like it shows a blue hue in the sunlight

I'll be getting the bronze pink for my Chinese girlfriend in Shanghai to replace a old LG phone

I'll go with black

Silver

black *

Black

Blaxk indeed

Is the black one painted, is scratches and dings along the side will show silver? That might be one benefit of the silver. Still debating....

I'll be putting a case on it, so not that bothered. I'll probably take the deep sea black because I don't want to keep seeing my reflection in the chrome bezel!

Chrome

You must be a riot at parties.

Is black really black or is it dark blue? I find the name deep sea black a little confusing. ..

Went with the Chrome one. Ordered a clear very thin case for it. All the color look really nice. Difficult choice.

Black specks on back of silk white

I received my OP6 silk white yesterday and there are a number of small black specks across the back that won't come off- it looks like a bit of dirt or something that's got trapped in the process of making the back or something. Has anyone else faced this issue? Trying to decide whether to get a replacement as even though they're small it drives me mad knowing they're there!

Get it replaced

Everyone I've shown it to says I'm being ridiculous as they're probably less than a mm each. I suppose I don't exactly sit around staring at the back of my phone.

Be ridiculous. Its your phone. Own it. My first op6 had a small crack on the top near the notch and everyone said the same thing. But I still got it replaced.

It's basically the same as this. The black speck in that photo to the left of the camera is what I have on mine, but mine is to the right of the camera and another further down.

I would say get jt replaced while you can. But be ready to face the same issue with the replacement if it has that.
