Do the pixels always have this grey color, or does the color change, depending on the background?

Then these pixels are very likely to be dead.They have this color even on the HTC-Bootscreen, right?
If yes, then there is nothing, you could do.

Hey all, i've waited the end of summer to take my htc to the shop where i've bought, but surprisingly the dead pixel disappeared
Sincerely i don't understand why my cellphone are alive and can repair itself :laugh: Lucy me!

Problem solved
I accidentally dropped my Sensation XE, got some small black lines in my screen. Then they grow large. So i played high defination games and make my screen hot, then the black line extended more. After it I cooled my phone under AC or in freezer. After 2 month they all are gone.
So happy about it. May be you guys try it if you have same problem.

Warmer color replacement

Hello,
Today I received the replacement for my N5 since it was affected by rattling side buttons. The problem is that the new one has got this damn yellow tint, it looks horrble!
Does anyone know if this is covered by warranty?

no. the yellow tint is googles opinion of how the screen should be. its only software. install a custom kernel that support gamma control then change your screen tone.

Does it have any bad effect on the device in the long run?
My nexus 7 2013 screen is way better than on my nexus 5

I had the same yellow screen problem, I've been using francos/phantoms "color" kernel and my screen looks great now, REALLY close whites & color to my N7 2013 , try it!

I don't think francos has made any color customization to his kernel.…I tried the cooler color settings in the elemantalx though

Franco used to but stopped at about r14, now phantom gamers? is continuing to add the color tweak to each of francos latest builds as an experimental option..

I contacted them, let's see what they say. (The same person I contacted previously and he was very kind)
Anyway can you link me a full guide to rooting and custom kernel for N5?

Thank you.
Today the power button started rattling again, so I'm going to contact them again to replace the new device, again. I won't give up with ANYTHING, I keep sending back N5s since it will be perfect.

Who has a Korean S8 with the red tint?

Hi,
Just wondering who received the OTA in Korea and had a device with Red Tint?
Did it allow you to set the white point and completely eliminate the Red?
Is there anything else to the update?
Is the phone smooth, smoother, less smooth post OTA?
Thanks for letting us in the US know what to expect.

I read somewhere that Samsung will release an update to remedy the red tint.. or all tinted phones for that matter.

Yes. That's what an OTA is. They got it on some carriers in Korea yesterday.

Are you sure it's not the Blue Tint Filter in the display settings? If you turn it on the screen does turn a little pinkish/red...

No its not. Read the countless articles from major news sources. It's an adjustment issue. They need to expand the calibration levels. Then you can tune it out. That's the OTA that was just released in Korea. It will hit the USA next week per Samsung.

The silence on this red tint issue is deafening. Is Korea allowed to participate in posting on XDA I wonder now? The supposed update to fix the red tint was released a day ago and I've not heard or read much about the results of any of them that applied the update. Did it really work or failed? Why don't we hear from any of the many Korean users who surely must have applied the update by now and can tell us if it worked satisfactorily or not. From the silence and Samsung not releasing it to the rest of the world this week ending already... makes me suspect it was not a 100% satisfactory fix. If it is a hardware display design issue... oh! oh! Samsung.

Korean who use SM-955N here. I had red tint on the edge of the screen and the update was released 4/27.
It adds the settings which users can add gradient to the edge of the screen, so users can "conceal" the red tint and make it normal.
Well in my case it worked perfectly and I am happy with it.

Yup. Exactly same as mine. The mere tint on the screenshot goes away when it reboots.
I guess it is some kind of color calibration inside the kernel?

My S8+ suffers from the red/pink glow on all 4 edges and I'm in talks with Samsung and my carrier to get my phone replaced. I'm not sure how I feel about a software "fix" when it's a hardware defect on a $1200CAD device

Got the OTA yesterday (CSC DBT from amazon.de), this is how the screen settings look now!
For some devices these fixes will work, but on uneven screens (red tint on one side of the screen, and for example yellow on the other), which most of them are to some extent, this will not improve the situation!
What does work better than expected is the possibility to change the color shifting on the edges. On one of my affected S8+ (I own 3 atm, and have seen many more for comparison) this makes the screen far better!
An interesting thing:
I own 3 S8+, all from amazon.de. Only one of them received the OTA yesterday. The 2 other ones still don't get it!
It seems this is because my 3rd device was on a march build (C something) when it received the OTA, the other ones (which did not get the OTA) are on Build (AQ)DD, because I did the DD OTA on them before!

Question over Dark Theme.

When I apply it on my OP6
Every thing becomes dark as usual.
But when you go to places like
1. Settings - Apps - App permissions
Or
2. Settings - About Phone - status
There the screen is light themed/white background despite having a dark theme on.
Is it in your mobiles as well.
Also, the Shelf also remains with white background.
Help plz

Same thing on mine. They just didn't fully theme it I think. They must have missed some sub-menus.

u are correct, mine does the same, it also does on my 5T as well so its just something that was not themed

It's not an issue ofcourse...
Just wanted to check if it's an anomaly in my set alone or not.

My shelf was a dark theme (since I picked up the 6T in November)untill last night and now I can't for the life of me work out how to change it back

The ultimate 1 year necro bump...
I am sure software was different then from now.
Anyways.... What did you do? Updates, flashed? What are you running? Anything useful other than "it doesn't work"?

Software didn't update, its set to notify me Instead was of just install

screen problem

Hi XDA community
I've got a strange problem.
Since one week my screen displays a pink line from the top to the bottom of the screen, in the extreme right of the screen, where there is the curvature.
It seems to be superimposed over what should be displayed
It also appears when the aod is activated
What should I do?
Thanks

Either the screen or the flex cable connecting the screen is faulty. You can try to go to MIUI diagnostics mode and test the display with Red Green and Blue full screen colors. Repeat this for few times and see if the line disappears.
If it doesn't you have to return the phone for warranty claim as it can be hardware defect

My Mi Note 10 Pro started to display the pink line from yesterday and then I remembered this thread.
I will wait a week or two and then claim for warranty.

You should try some screen repair apps... I think it solved my problem.
