[Q] My display has a pink tint.

My tablet - Note 10.1 N8010, rooted, stock - has a pinkish hue since new.
This is clearly evident when looking at white backgrounds.
My wife's identical Note 10.1, on the other hand, has beautiful whites without any visible tint.
So it is not just my imagination.
Does a utility, an app, a kernel, a rom exist that allows to calibrate the display on this tablet?

Don't think so sorry.

Not exactly true.
Settings -> display -> display mode (? - not sure, using my domestic translation so i dunno how its called in english).
There are not many options, tho but it CAN be the reason if you have turned on the cinema mode or sth by accident.
And if u want to troubleshoot the issue:
U should make a screen capture and send the screenshot jpg to the other tablet.
If itll be displayed in white - it may be hardware.
If itll be displayed in pink - it is the software.

[Q] Should I buy switch from Nexus 5 or wait for OP Two ?

Hi there,
I'm rather happy user of Nexus 5, I'm loving everything about it apart from battery life.
OPO is no only 219 pounds, dirt cheap. I'm tired of ****ty battery life so it seems like a no brainer to buy one.
However, OP Two is coming and new Nexus too. I'm afraid of buying OP two at launch having in mind all the problems like yellow band etc.
Are OPOs now free of all their faults like yellow screens, unresponsive screens etc ? Should I buy one or wait ? Also, how is the dev scene compared to the nexus ?

I believe the problems reported with this phone only affect a small percentage of total units sold, it's just that those who are affected have pretty loud mouths. I own two, both are perfect. I know dozens and dozens of other owners who have perfect phones. If I was faced with this decision right now I'd buy it. It's cheap, and it's a beast. The OnePlus Two isn't going to be as cheap, the Nexus sure as hell won't be cheap anymore judging by the price of the last model. This phone is still fantastic, just check out our dev sections to see how much development it receives.

I was a Nexus 5 user too and I switched to OPO because of
- Battery life
- Better camera
- Sound quality
- And much more
When I switched to OPO six months back, I felt it was the next generation nexus 5, because it actually looks like Nexus 5 and it has almost similar kind of developer support
Reason why I think OnePlus One is better option than OnePlus 2
- I don't think there will be official CM OS on it
- You can't revert back to kitkat when you need
- As oneplus is a startup, the mistakes that company has made which are advantageous for users will be concealed
- May be it won't have bamboo styleswap cover
Only thing I miss about nexus 5 is
- Variety of Custom ROMs
- OIS
- Better display
- Availability of Developer preview ROMs (As I'm a app developer, I need it for testing)

How is the video recording ? Is the lack of OIS that bad ?
I don't need kitkat nor the dev previews, that's fine for me.
Screen ? Is really nexus 5 screen better ?

First of all, video recording was good before OIS, but since there is a better option non-OIS videos are "bad" It is good, but of course any video shot with OIS will look better You can check here. I am using a modded camera with software stabilizer, which helps a bit, but no OIS.
Screen? Nexus screen is better, since it smaller and has larger pixel density But to put the jokes aside, it has a great screen, and if you don't like the default setting you can calibrate and adjust contrast, brightness, RGB, kcal etc.

New owner here as well (ordered yesterday.) I too was a bit worried about the problems that have been reported in mass here, but based off of every phone I have had, I know problems seem larger than they are because the happy owners don't voice their satisfaction as frequently as upset owners. I hope I get a good phone as I wanted to switch back to Android since trying the iPhone 6.

Display issue with S7?!

Hi, I bought S7 two week ago, and I notice that my phone have some issue with display on dark gray color, for example when you close all tabs in Chrome browser (Merge tabs and apps and home page have to be turned off). Problem is uneven color, like in the picture below. In real isn't that noticeable as on picture, but I can see it. So I just want to ask if anyone have similar issue an what do yu think about this?

up...

Faulty screen.

i also noticed that i have some gray or black dimmed spots on my screen ...i had similar problem with xperia z5 but with the z5 i had white spots instead grey ones LOL looks like these days buying a phone is like lottery

Got the same problem with my first 2 units, I only got an acceptable screen uniformity on the 3rd unit. You should send it back to have it replaced. Screen uniformity on gray and white backgrounds is a known issue with some amoled screen especially with the high density panels.

I live in Serbia, and here is very hard to get replacement unit. And in 20 days I have to move to Malta and I don't have time to replace phone even if they want. But, I'm not only with this issue and isn't that terebel... but I compared it with my previously S6 and he didn't have this problem...

Yellow tint on Mate 9 screen.

Just gotten my Mate 9 yesterday and realised that there are yellow tint on the bottom left of the corner. Anyone else with the same issue?
Wondering if it is undry glue or screen issue.

All good here, screen's fine

Mine too, perfect whites here.

Have you checked the screen color in the settings?

Yup. Only the bottom of the screen have the yellow tint. Apart from that, all shows perfect white. Seems like I need to contact them for RMA.

I had that with other brands twice. They will replace it, I'm sure.

Same here..
Same thing here and have a replacement now to compare. The new mate has a completely different screen and is more yellow across the entire screen.
I will keep the original one...already getting used to the yellow bottom

DO you have a new device? I had 3 phone's and all of them had yellow tint on bottom left corner.... Is it possible that this tint will disappear in future?

Get over it and enjoy the phone.

i also have a yellow tint and probably I will return the phone. I cant get over it and enjoy cause the phone didn't cost 100$ and in my opinion it is unacceptable.

The yellow tint either faded or became less noticeable for me after 2 weeks use. Several other phones had a similar issue (OPO, for example) where it was just uncured glue.

It don't you think that in phone for so much money on the phone it should not have the place?

It's fairly common and goes away with usage. Happens with iPhones as well, it's not a Huawei thing. Heck even earphones need 100 hours to break in. Patience my young Padawan.

Xperia phones are famous too in this case.

So you are saying that it should be white for some time?

A yellow tint/spot usually means your device is from a fresh new batch, the glue used to affix the LCD panel to the phone will cure with usage. The glue will cure faster if you use your device in high brightness mode so you can give that a go for the next couple of days. You can also leave it 1-2 hours under direct sunlight or any UV light source. I wouldn't worry about it.

It is possible to check when the phone was produced? Like in Samsung app from play store?

Fingerprint reader

I only have two fingerprints saved and set up on my phone system.. After the last update, the phone can be unlocked with each finger. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Remove fingerprints and re-enter them. Perhaps you have some small lesions on your fingertips.
