I noticeced when using my phone as a GPS when driving, the screen appears purple when turned sideways. Yes, I have uv sunglasses on. This normal with a LCD display? It almost gets too dark to see what's on display.

Its not from UV sunglasses its from polarized sunglasses. Cell phone screens are polarized so that they are easier to see in direct sunlight so when you wear polarized sun glasses it has that effect on the screen.
Mine does have some blue tint when watching off-angle (>50 degrees).

Yes about sunglass being horizontally polarized and also, all lcd's are polarized on their own. Proof for this is if you look at your monitor, put on polariods, then rotate the polaroids 90 degrees. At that point, since the lcd is horizontally polarized and the polaroids at the 90 degree position will be vertically polarized, all light will be blocked and the lcd that is displaying something will appear to be blank (black).
The purple is because its an H-IPS screen, nothing to do with your sunglasses or Polaroids. FWIW LG is the by far the worlds largest IPS manufacturer, with Panasonic rushing in to IPS to replaces its dying Plasma market. Panasonic bought all of Hitachi's IPS technology recently.

" S-IPS/H-IPS (In Plane Switching) panels are generally considered the best overall LCD technology for image quality, color accuracy and viewing angles, but this comes at a price. They are well suited for graphics design and other applications which require accurate and consistent color reproduction. S-IPS panels offer the best viewing angles of any current LCD technology, with wide viewing angles up to 178 degrees.
S-IPS panels can be identified buy a slight purple hue on blacks when viewed from a wide angle. There are currently few manufacturers using S-IPS panels in comparison to the other panels types making choices limited and they often carry a premium price tag. H-IPS is a newer variation of S-IPS with a different pixel structure that improves contrast ratios and lowers pixel pitch to provide better picture quality.

And you are saying its something other than black with polarized glasses? Yes if you turn two polarizers against each other, you get a complete blockage of light. The question was purple hue. That hue has nothing to do with Polaroid sunglasses. Try reading before spouting...you'll find if gives you more credibility.

Yes when 2. polarizers of matching polarization axis are perpendicular they block out all light. But I was just messing around and stacked some polarizers on top of each other(I forget the exact orientation but they weren't perpendicular) and when I looked through the polarizers there was a purple hue which got darker with more polarizers. I'm not really sure what this is from because it wasn't part of the lab assignment. Just a random observation I made.

You obviously have never driven a car with tinted windows while wearing polarized sun glasses. It causes a rainbow effect on the other cars you see through the tinted windows. I can look at my phones screen while wearing polarized sunglasses at any angle with out it going black, but when I look at it landscape it is a little darker and causes the same rainbow effect that the tinted windows do.

Are you sure that the SAMOLED is flat? My understanding of SAMOLED screens is that there is no glass between the screen and the touch surface as there is in most typical touchscreen devices (Wikipedia confirms and the Engadget review directly states "Curved Super AMOLED") Looking at the screen from the side, I can see my background curving and I cannot reproduce the "UNresponses" on either the top or the bottom of my device or my wife's.
Wikipedia said:
Super Active-Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode or Super AMOLED is a display technology for use in mobile devices such as mobile phones. It differs from many other display technologies in that the layer which detects touch is integrated into the screen rather than being overlaid on top.

I think the curved screen looks GREAT, and gives the phone a distinctive look that no other phone in its class has.
There's certainly one small advantage to the curved screen...if you drop the phone or lay it on a table face down, the bulk of the screen cannot touch the surface and get marred. On the other hand, I suspect someone will say that it's worse for that because the impact on a drop is placed in a smaller area and increases risk of shatter. I'm not a glass engineer, so I don't really know if that's true or not, but it would make sense.

And this: http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus-S-Teardown/4365/1 but it has no side view pictures of the screen but from what I can tell, it looks super thin which goes against the other posted pictures.
As I said before, all of this to me indicates that the entire screen is curved as I cannot reproduce any touch "UNresponses", I still maintain I can see my background curve, everything I've read indicates that a SAMOLED is a SAMOLED because the touch sensor is built into the screen and not on top of it, and I can''t see a difference with a powerful flashlight.

so at the bottom of the screen while on lightly colored pages (settings menu), it looks like there are little flashlights shining out from behind the buttons. if you hold the phone straight up and down, and try to look "down" behind the buttons, you can really see the "flashlight" effect. they are uniform in size and protrude about 1mm or so up into the screen (very hard to notice but when looking for easy to see). let me reiterate that this is only noticeable on lighter colored pages, like the settings menu...and they are only at the bottom of the screen.
is this normal?!!!
I think I am being picky, as I do see this to some extent on other LCD screens but for some reason it just stood out more on this phone to me...

Wow I do have them too. I think they're negligible though because I would've never even notice if you didn't show me haha.
Unfortunately, this sounds like light leakage. Not sure if all HTC One X's have it. My Evo 4G had it. Could be part of HTC phones? Not sure, someone would have to confirm.
That is normal
Got it too. I noticed it the first few mins i had the phone. Didnt have it on my SGSII though. Sometimes i think i shouldnt have upgraded yet.

The One X is an LCD screen while the SII is an LED screen. What you are seeing is the backlights of the screen. Every screen tech has its pros/cons.
so essentially this is normal...I guess for piece of mind I will run to the store and check the display models to make sure mine isn't any "worse" than usual.

worse case than mine i guess. i thought at first mine was like yours, even my camera was taking pictures like yours. but i can truly see it at a curtain angle, just barely. take your phone and slowly angle it, at about 30-40 degrees it mirrors off something and can be seen. i can't see it on black, but on white i can on max brightness, it seems to dissappear at about 80-85% or lower brightness.

Let me try again. On my phone, at every conceivable angle, in a dark room, on light and dark backgrounds, the backlight is not visible. And if I rotate the screen, it's not visible from the top either. OP on the other hand can clearly see the backlight showing through because he sees it with the naked eye and was able to photograph it.
There’s one other thing to consider. My phone has an Acer display. Quite a few people have posted they have Sony displays. If OP has a Sony display there’s a possibility that they all look like what OP posted.
Damn I want an acer display phone

of course you can't see it with a dark background, the lcd is doing what it is supposed to do and blocks the light... just like you can see them when you have light colors.
I remember seeing a post on polarized sungglasses about this but here is my first hand experience. I bought my "first" HTC One m8 on opening day. One thing I noticed is that with my polarized sunglasses I could not see the screen. And when I say that I couldn't see it I really mean it was almost black with my sunglasses on even with brightness all the way up. Only if I tilted my head certain angels could I slighyt see the screen. I figured no big deal, annoying but I've seen someone else comment about it on the forum so I figured it's normal on this phone or my brand of polarized lenses. Never had this issues with previous phones (Note 3, iPhone 5, Nexus 5) using these glasses but I dismissed it.
Then I had to exchange my phone because the speakers were crackling and just picked up my new HTC One M8. Now using the same glasses I can see the screen just fine, same as I was able to do on my previous iPhone 5.
Anyone else notice this? It's not unheard of that phone mfrs use different screen mfrs for the same phone.
Note: Both HTC One m8's were the Verizon version.
Was wondering about this too. Had a DNA that I could see clearly with sunglasses. I may try to exchange mine.

I see some shift in color and a bit of shimmering when viewing the screen through polarized lenses, but it's still clearly readable at all angles. On the other hand, when viewing my laptop at severe angles the display is nearly black. Looks like I got lucky.

They probably just used a different, polarized glass when they built your batch. Polarization bends light. If you try to view polarized glass through polarized glasses, it won't work out so well. Aircraft instruments are made with polarized glass, that's why pilots can't wear polarized lenses. Next time you're at Wally-World, grab two pairs of polarized glasses, face them at each other and rotate one pair 90 degrees. It will be nearly impossible to see through them.

Seriously? Does what I was saying not make sense to you?
If you can't see the screen when wearing polarized lenses, it could be because the polarization lines are running perpendicular to one another, therefore blocking out all of the light. If you turn the phone 90 degrees, it would then align the polarization lines, allowing you to see the screen. Just like the post above mine explained with the sunglasses at Walmart, it would likely be the same thing, and show that the difference between the two hardware versions is just the direction of polarization in the glass.

I got what you were saying, but screen orientation makes no difference with my sunglasses - I actually use my phone in landscape as much as in portrait. Viewing angle makes much more difference with my sunglasses - head on, I see nothing, but turn a few degrees to the side and it's fine.
This is not a review on the Flip 3. There are so many reviews on it already and if I do one, it would probably like a rehash of what were said already.
There is something that I discovered that I have not seen others mention it. This is what I discovered. While the screen is really nice and video plays very smooth on it, the color is weird when viewed with polarized lens. I was using the Flip 3 outside on a sunny day wearing my Ray Ban. The display exhibit a rainbow hue. It does not matter if I wore a tan color, green color or gray color sunglasses. As long it is a pair of polarized sunglasses, the display would give this rainbow hue. I do have sunglasses that are not polarized and those works fine.

Seeing your phone's screen while wearing sunglasses just takes one quick trick
As summer returns, it’s time to relax and read by the pool. So you pull out your phone, don your shades, and...you can’t see a thing on the screen. What gives?
www.popsci.com
Your gadgets contain polarizing filters, too. “These LCD screens are polarized to reduce glare, especially in bright sunlight—but so are sunglasses,” Patel says. “When the filters for the screen and sunglasses align in opposite directions, the light emanating from the screen with be cut out.” In other words, if the screen emits horizontally-vibrating light, and your sunglasses block all except vertically-vibrating light, no photons will get through and you’ll be stuck with a dark or entirely black image.
Some devices will experience this effect worse than others. Although a lot of higher-end devices have found ways to get around the issue altogether (like the current generation of iPhones, iPads, and Google Pixel phones), you’ll still notice it to some degree on many phones and tablets.

It's because phone manufacturers / sunglasses manufacturers have realized their products were previously incompatible, but cannot fully remove any effect without ruining their own purpose.

The Flip 3 display screen itself is not polarized. Light would not pass through two polarized lenses if they were placed at a certain angle. Polarized lenses are like horizontal blinds opened. This enable the polarized lenses to block reflection from below and rays from above. However, when two polarized lenses are positioned 90 degrees to each other. No light would pass through as one blocks the up and down light, the other blocks the left and right. Rotating the lenses would increase or decrease the light passing through. Some car instrument would have the polarized glass cover angled at 45 degree. This is a compromised to accommodate polarized sunglasses wearers and still reduce some glare. Tilting the head would either increase visibility or completely darken the instruments. Pilots do not wear polarized sunglasses for this very reason.
Tilting the Flip 3 90 degrees does not change the rainbow hue. I have a feeling there is some sort of coating that is applied on the plastic screen protector on the display.

No apology needed. I was just saying that the Flip 3 display does not play well with polarized sunglasses. Before I posted this, I wore my polarized sunglasses to check on my other phones, iPad and TVs just to see if this rainbow hue would repeat. None of the other displays have this rainbow hue.
Are Your Polarized Lenses Playing Tricks On Your Eyes? Here's How They Work, And Why You Might Be Seeing Spots
Polarized lenses are known for causing some interesting visual phenomena. Here's what's going on.

The rainbows you see with polarized glasses (or without) are a result of light being refracted, or bent as it passes through different mediums. When you see a rainbow in the sky after a storm, you're seeing sunlight passing through water in the air, which behaves a like a prism to separate white light into different frequencies. When you see a rainbow through your polarized glasses (like you might on a phone screen or a windshield) it's likely because another material is refracting the light, like a polymer coating on glass, or a tempered glass screen protector on your phone.
If you find the rainbows and dark spots too distracting, you can always keep a pair of non-polarized sunglasses for the times when you expect to be encounter a lot of screens or tempered glass. But otherwise, just enjoy the benefits of decreased glare and feel better knowing a little more about how it works!

Are all of the other screens plastic with the same material of protector? The plastic is a big factor, but the protector also plays a part.

The TVs and my MBP has no screen protectors. The iPad has glass screen protector. The Samsung Pad and my Samsung S8+ has matt film protectors. My other phone has glass screen protector. None has this rainbow hue. This is why I think it is the plastic protector on the Flip 3 is the cupid. Not very scientific just a guess. LOL!
It is what it is. I just need to start wearing my other non-polarized sunglasses or I’ll just take of my polarized sunglasses when I read the screen on the Flip 3.

Yeah. That's lens flare. Changing the angle can reduce or eliminate it.

Lens protectors actually make lens flare worse not better. They add an additional reflective layer to the mix.

They cause problems if the light source is in frame, like the OP's photo. It can also happen if the light source is not in frame, but still on front of you. Especially, if it's bright like the sun.

Angle matters. In a nutshell, it is caused when the light enters the lens, then reflects off the sensor (or film plane) back onto the lens elements (or in this case the lens protector). The lens protector then reflects it back on to the sensor. Which causes the ghosting. Lenses have an anti-reflective coating to optimize light gathering and to reduce ghosting. Not all lens protectors (especially the cheap ones) have an anti-reflection coating. This can happen to anyt camera. I've had it happen on my Canon DSLR. The ghosting came from the filter screwed on to the lens.
To be honest, you don't need an extra lens protector. The glass that is already protecting the lenses are all you need. Adding another layer of glass reduces image quality.
I have a problem on my camera since last update, the camera constantly move to vertical and horizontal when I take a picture, and when I take a video on the image of video viewed a move constantly how a earthquake, help me to fix... Thanks.
Hi, can you detail software version on your phone? Are you using the stock camera app? Did you also install any GCam port or any other camera app? Just in case, try putting the phone in Safe Mode and see if it happens again.
