[Q] Uneven grey on bottom of screen? - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I took a look around and didn't see anything similar, but it seems like the bottom left corner of my screen is brighter than the rest when it is grey. It's not super noticeable, but you can kind of see it when the nav bar changes in the settings menu.
I assumed it was backlight bleed, but I don't see it when the screen is black, only grey.
Does anyone else have any experience with this? I don't know if I am just crazy or not., i.e. is this even a possibility.

Try a screenshot, and a photo. Does it only appear on one of those?

Doesn't show in a screenshot. However, I went and looked at a display model and it was somewhat similar... At this point i think it's minor enough not to mess with. Especially since I don't have any of the other issues.
e.: It looks like its the back light shining. I guess the weird part is that I don't see it on a black screen.

The same here. The phone is Rev.2, 10.10.2014. This issue is on many Z3 phones, because i had at least eight Z3 phones in my hands for the last 2 monthes, and almost everyone has an uneven grey (white) or some kind of shadings on bottom of screen. I don`t know what`s the problem, i`m a little bit hate Sony for that, i buy a expensive phone, and it have such a problems, maybe this is not so much critical, but for me it is unpleasant thing.
---------- Post added at 03:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:41 AM ----------
And, by the way, for those 2 monthes i still didn`t found a "perfect" Z3. Everyone has an other issues: if the screen was ok, it has a uneven gaps between screen and frame, if there`s no gaps on the screen, there`s a caps with gaps, if there no gaps at all, there`s a problem with the screen, and, as i wrote earlier, almost everyone phone i looked has a uneven grey (white) on bottom of screen, but some of them has a gaps problem in addition to the problem with the screen, and some of them didn`t, but from those 8-10 phones i looked in a last 2 monthes, noone has no problem at all! This is sad, but it`s true. Or maybe i`m so lucky

I went in and got it exchanged as it was bleeding light from the gap, and now this one is worse, and on both sides. I was told by the sales rep that "All of ours are like that, it must just be how its made", and they wouldn't give me another. This one also has a pink spot on the camera. I am going to another store tomorrow. At this point I can deal with the uneven grey, but not this. I'm going to tell them Sony said the light in the gaps was a manufacturing defect... even if they haven't directly said that.

Got a third one.... better, but same issues. It is lighter in the bottom right corner of the screen, but since you have said that seems to just be how most are, I'll probably just try to get used to it.

same issue
I have exactly the same problem but with the colour white, the lower right hand side of the screen is a tad bit darker than the left when the screen is displaying a white colour, one has to really observe the screen carefully to notice it,however it is a bit irritating after you learn that you spent so.much on a phone with this kind of problem, Sony should really step up heir quality controls.

For me it's the lower left corner that's slightly darker (or the lower right corner that's brighter, whichever way you want to look at it). I've had so many Z3's in my hands and this issue is pretty common. Though it has to be said that grey is a very difficult color for displays in general as it points out even the slightest non-uniformity. It's not surprising that a solid grey screen is recommended for TV's if you want to test for clouding or DSE.

I think in the end we should just let it be if its a general problem, it shouldnt spoil our experience with such a great handset.

Yellow screens - does the problem still exist?

There were reports of OPOs and OPPO Find 7a-s with yellowish screens. Could OPO owners or others with information clarify if the problem still exists?
Thanks.
Edit: Ok, there is some info from an owner.
The display doesnt have a yellow tint and furthermore you can customize the display using different presets (standard, vivid, custom hue/tint mode etc) but out of the box there is no yellowness on the display (i.e. the hardware display looks great)

Yellow Screen: This is an update from yesterday. So, the yellowness is there a bit ... but it's barely noticeable. I really have to strain to see it, and honestly, it hurts more to try to see it than to just use the phone. At this point, I do not think I would return the phone just because of the very slight yellow shadow on the bottom quarter inch of the screen. It's practically invisible. I am hoping it just goes away completely like happened for some of the iPhones a few years back.

Confirmed by OnePlus in Jerry's post, there is a yellow tint at the bottom. Quote: "Since brightness influences color temperature, the yellow tint at the bottom is due to the design of the phone". This is not talk of an uniform tint over the whole screen, but a yellow tint at the bottom.

Apparently that was said by one of the admins. They confirm that yellow spots exist but deny that this is a problem. I think this is a product defect and should be exchanged by the company without questions.

I would insist on getting it fixed up if you have a that partially yellow stain. It doesn't matter how "great" the price is, if it's got such a visual stain. I wouldn't put up with it.
Say what you will about Samsung phones, at least the OLED screens looked fabulous.

I am planning to get the phone, but seeing OPO denying that yellow spots on the bottom are defects (they say it is normal), I will hold off for a time. It is really idiotic on their side to deny the problem and deny RMAs.
Just got my OnePlus One today in the mail, and to be honest I think people may be making this deal bigger then it needs to be, or I got very lucky. On my OnePlus One there is a bit of yellow tint at the bottom, but it is SO minimal that it strains and hurts your eyes to even look for it, and if you use on-screen buttons it covers it up anyways. And even if you use the hardware buttons, the amount of yellow is so little that you never rarely it with day to day use. Hell, my Nexus 5's minimal backlight bleeding on the screen edges is more noticeable then the yellow on my OnePlus One.
With that all said though... this still may be a hardware issue for some users, and if so OnePlus One should stand behind their product and offer replacement devices.

I know.
I can't believe a company that touts itself as having "beautiful experiences" would be so bad in the "customer service and selling experience". Noobs.
Got my device yesterday. Pretty bad Yellow staining along the bottom half inch of screen. Quite bad IMHO.
Requested a return/replacement
That's the same here. Received it on Wednesday, I've got the same problem as yours: yellow tint on the quarter-bottom side of the screen, that's worse on the right-bottom edge than the left-bottom one. Hoping it goes away but I don't think so.
Same here, very bad yellowing at the bottom of the screen.
Have asked if they will replace it, but they just send me a standard email that everyone gets:
Hi
Thanks for getting in touch! There are three different types of 'yellow screen' issues.
One is where the screen is evenly tinted yellow - this is actually an intended effect as warmer screens offer more true-to-life colors than bluish screens. To adjust your screen hue manually, please go to Settings > (under Device) Display & Lights > (under Advanced Settings) Screen Color > Custom > Hue.
Another is a slightly yellowish band across the bottom of the screen when viewed from unconventional viewing angles at full brightness. Our screens are lit from the bottom instead of from underneath, and to minimize bezels we place the light sources very close to the edge of the screen. To prevent excessive light leakage, the bottom edge is designed to be slightly opaque, which is why it appears yellow from certain angles.
If your screen has yellow spots that appear to expand however, please send us a photo and we'll see whether it's a hardware issue.
You might have seen photos of these issues online - most were taken at extreme angles and 100% brightness, or even doctored to increase the contrast. Actual imperfections are usually very subtle and do not impact normal usage.
Thanks for understanding
Best regards,
Marilyn
They also say the evidence is tempered with, basically calling us liars.
That response is awful. My screen is blatantly yellow and they are saying it's supposed to be like that!? I've sent a RMA request - will see what response comes back
Yellow on mine too. Got the device yesterday and quite displeased.
Bad QC from the supplier of the display. Either the glass was not cured long enough to the touch screen, or it was
rushed out without QC inspecting them for rejects. With the amount of orders requested in China alone, not to mention
the international demand, doesn't surprise me.
What's sad, is the stance OnePlus is taking. "you are holding it wrong, we did it for a warmer color display".
Crock of beans! It's a DEFECT when the bottom part of the screen is YELLOW.
Some say it will go away over time, but if you have access to a UV light, a little time under one of those might get
rid of it. Considering how long it takes to get one, sending it back for a replacement might take as long as it did
just to BUY one.

Yellowing Of Screen on Corners?

So i was just browsing You Tube when I noticed that at the edge of my screen there was a yellowish tint to the white that it should be, so I brought up a completely white image on Google to find that 3 of the cormers had this yellow tint on them and in fact now that I have spotted it is quite noticable. I know the picture I've added is very poor so if you guys can't see it then I'll add another one. Anyone else experiencing this?

Usually that's the glue isn't it? Should vanish as you use the tablet, give it a week or so and if it is still there, take it back.
Well Ive had the tablet since it released so I think I might have to take it back
I've been noticing this lately as well. It started with the bottom left corner, and now it's also in the top right. It's rather distracting with light backgrounds.
Same thing after using the tablet for a month
You guys might just want to RMA your tablets. Although it's only an aesthetic issue, NVIDIA should allow replacements for that kind of thing. Is the tint extremely noticeable or only when there's a white background?

Uneven backlight/ colour tone shifting on bottom half of the screen

Just purchased a brand new Galaxy S6 32GB FLAT in white today. Right out of the box, especially on a white background, I noticed that the bottom half of the screen shifts into a more warmer tone. It's most visible on a white background, where i can actually see the transition between the two colour tones. Other colours are affected too, but not as noticeable. Please refer to the attached screenshots, (Ignore the diagonal lines running across the screen, caused by the camera artefact).
My question is, is it normal? Can you please check yours and provide feedback? Thanks in advance

Dude this isnt severe. Ive seen enough amoled displays having worse tints and stripes. Yours is much better than them. If I was you, I wouldnt settle for this. Replace it or get a refund. I have severe ocd about my phone. I need it to be perfect. Luckily the S6 that I have has a very good display. A perfect one. Get a replacement asap. This isnt something normal.
Im ordering my 2nd replacemeny soon. My first one was yellowish and uneven like yours. My current one has a horrible pink tint. Try 3
Welcome to the club: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/getting-replacement-s6-due-to-screen-t3074865
I took my phone back to the Samsung store and got it replaced by the manager there. The screen looked fine when i first looked at it in store, but soon after taking it home i realised that this second unit has a yellowish tint on the right side of the screen. Going back tomorrow for another replacement.... SIGH!!!!!
My third replacement from the Samsung Exp Store is.... a KEEPER! This unit has a much better even backlight and meets my expectation! After going through that trouble, i'm happy to say that I'm a a happy camper

Looks all right to me, but then again we all perceive things differently. My current unit is not perfect, there's still a green/blue tint to it, but it's tolerable. If you cannot tolerate it, then keep exchanging until you find one that you can tolerate with. Keep in mind though that you won't find a unit with 100% even colour hue; it's the limitation with AMOLED displays. All the best!
I have the same issue
I have the same, but much less severe than yours seem to be. I don't notice it at all with normal use, only super slightly on bright white screens. If it really looks like it does on the photo, I would get it replaced.

Light bars on black wallpaper
I have the following issue on black wallpapers.On top and bottom there is a lighter bar.This appears only after applying the wallpaper.Viewing them with Quickpick there are no bars.Same in Nova and TW after applying it.Tried attaching a screen but the bars are not captured.What could it be,a ROM issue,a low DPI?I have the DPI set to low.Also on brighter pics you can't see the bars ,after applying which makes sense.
White uniformity - Is this the jelly effect and is it normal?
I got a really good deal on a used Tab S6 from Amazon and I love the tablet but there is weird tinting thing happening on white screens.
When viewed slightly off-axis the tint goes blue.
Makes me nuts when reading NY TImes and edges of white screen are tinted blue.
The effect changes when viewed at different angles and seen without screen protector. It is tough to photograph but hopefully you can see what I see.
Ignore the moire in the middle of the first shot - that's a screen protector... Look at extreme edges of screen.
Thanks and pardon me if this has been answered before - I've searched and couldn't find this issue.

S8+ AMOLED Display Quality (Red Tint Issue) - worse as previous Samsung devices

Hello fellow XDA members,
In the past I started some threads regarding Samsung AMOLED display quality, especially for the Note devices.
Please see here if you are interessted:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/general/note4-amoled-screen-quality-t2906365
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2463786
Now, with the S8+ (and the S8, the problem is the same), even the media recognized the display problems, known as "red tint", just google for it!
Samsung tells the people that this is due to wrong settings, and/or the adaptive display setting turned on! THIS IS NOT THE CASE!!!
I got 2 pieces of S8+ today, and both displays are not OK. One screen has the red tint issue, but only on the upper half of the screen.
The other device has no red tint, but is generally darker and looks more "washed out" and has a slight yellow tint.
So again the display lottery is back, it is only "luck of the draw" if you get a decent screen or not!!!
If you do not believe me just compare a few devices beneath each other with the exact same display settings. Turn adaptive display off, then go into the dialer and type *#0*#, with this you ensure the brightness settings are the same and you have the same sceen content on both devices. You will notice that every single device has a different screen quality (tint, evenness, ...)
What do you say? Acceptable or not?
With all of us over at the tmobile shipping thread we've been waiting and crying and hoping that we get our devices early....and then when we finally got our devices ****ty things like red tint leaves a sour taste in our mouths..sad really, samsung already made this device feel rushed with all the Bixby and fingerprint scanner awkward positioning and what did we do after the note 7 debacle? We forgave these fools...and now this?....i do feel bad for those that actually paid full retail price for these expensive devices and to unbox and realize the screen is pink...that right there is not how to say forgive us for our mistakes instead a huge f u to all the customers who were unlucky enough to get such a horrible display color....but I will say I won the lottery because out of the box my s8plus came out nice no red pinkish tint whites are white...but why am I still pissed? Because my note 4 was the same whites were white and then after a year or so my eyes were fixed on a strange color that was taking up half of the screen that came out of nowhere...so yes I will be forever paranoid with sammys displays now....if my s8plus came in like that I don't think I would've came back....but then again I'm here lol
Settle down guys, this will likely be fixed with a future fw given the attention its gotten, this is pretty simple for samsung to fix actually, all samsung needs to do is what video games have been doing for years; offer the user an option to calibrate based a sample image. Once thats in, the presets can be established based off of those generated values from the user selection.
It seems like they will indeed need to implement a fix of this sorts, because it does seem the displays hue varys from device to device.
Anyways, for the most part, I hardly notice it and it seems even, and the more I look at it, the more i can't make sense out of it? Seems to play tricks on my eyes... lol.
Beautiful phone and display though!

This is a hardware problem, a real software fix IS NOT POSSIBLE!!!
Samsung can only try to cammo the problem with increasing the range of the color-sliders in the display settings, so that you can turn down red more then now. But this wont fix that the red tint is NOT EVEN ACROSS THE DISPLAY!!
What else proves that this is a hardware error is that if you put 5 devices next to each other (with the exact same settings), each of them will look different in regard to screen quality! Believe me, I know what I'm talking about, see my previous threads regarding that!
I agree that it should be even otherwise you may have a hardware problem but my concern is your criticism has more to do with amoled in gerneral and what we are observing is a consequence of the tech used. Samsung is also pushing the boundries here too with the display tech so the norms for amoled to compare to may not even apply anymore. And your comment to my comment regarding masking the problem, there is a reason why every display on the planet has picture settings.. right? No 2 displays are exactly the same...
I just went through the crap with my Surface Pro 4 too, trust me, they are a good example of no 2 displays alike, must have went though at least 11 Surface Pro 4 on my mission for perfection display and I had to give up in the end because truth is, its still an awesome device!

Perhaps but then again why did you buy a phone from samsung in the first place?.....
I was in the Samsung store yesterday for the launch party. They had 3 S8+ on display next to eachother. Each was running the exact same retail mode, showing the exact same content at the exact same time.
One display was white, one was red hued, and one was pee yellow.
(No, it wasn't display calibration settings, I checked).
There are definitely quality control issues.

And which of the 3 do you have?
I noticed a slight pinkish tint when the shipping screen protector was on, but looks ok without it.
Something slightly different this year is there seems to be a pink tinge on all four sides of the display (top, bottom, left and right). It's a very consistent along the sides of the screen and very noticeable, a few people here have also noticed it: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/help/red-tint-screen-t3592335
So it's not just another pink/yellow/blue/green spotty tinge problem, theres now uniformity with the example i've provided.
I've got the S8+ and the screen is not red at all. The left and right edges if anything have a slight blueish tone to them but I believe this to be the effect of the screen curving to the sides distorting the colour (Colour shift?).
Unless you have bought one and have the problem with it, you have no right to complain.

Mine had a very slight pink tinge when I got it, at the very top and bottom (maybe half the status bar thickness), and it's since gone way.
The over all display color was a little too warm for my liking, so I knocked the red slider down to half, and now it's fine.
Got me and the wife one yesterday from At&t. No red tint and best phone yet. I love it.
My display is freaking beautiful and I love the fingerprint location. I never had any trouble. My finger finds it very naturally

reason i ask my displays is perfect but with the blue light filter on which is to reduce eyestrain ..then the display is very red
Really did not know they had this till i play around with it

I have an S8+ as per my posts in the other thread, so I have a right to complain.
Firstly, it could well be fixed by software, even if its uneven, HTC had issues with the camera doing this a number of years ago (big red spot in all pictures). It was fixed with software
Secondly, it might disappear with time. AMOLED, OLED and other self lighting technologies (like Plasma in TVs) have a bed in time, where some colour ranges need to burn in. I would suggest a full red screen using a screen tester app for a few hours, to see if it beds in the red.
Guys, I would like to take this device, there is a possibility of having a faded display?

Pink tint/hue

I am wondering how are your units in regards to famous AMOLED pink shift?
Mine seems to be a bit more pink on the side making whites and darks looking uneven.
Looked at display units around shops and all units had it to some degree, also YouTube videos shows a pinkish screen nature.
How is your one?
To me pink shift implies that it turns pink when tilting the phone or viewing off angles. I don't have any problems with that however the regular OLED color uniformity is an issue on my device. Nearly ever OLED phone I've had has had some issue with this and I think some people are just more sensitive to it than others explaining why it's a non issue for most people and a huge issue for others. My Pixel 2 has a pink tink at the top 20% of the display which is minor and think most would either not notice or find acceptable. It bothers me a bit but it could be worse and I'm not sure I want to go through the trouble of RMAing the device until I get something better (OG Pixel took 3 tries and then I gave up and accepted the problem, but then my 3rd OG bricked itself and they sent me a 4th with a nearly perfect display yay!). Pink on the side or diagonally across the display is the worst I think as it's really noticeable when reading text on a white or grey background. At the top is the best case scenario for me as it's only really annoying when reading content in landscape orientation.
I spoke with a Google Tech at length today regarding the different color tints on our devices (mine is blue) and he assured me that the tinting was intended with the new screens. On a side note I notice while out in the sun when it's hard to see my screen, if I tilt slightly my device, the Blue tint actually helps me to see my screen better. Not sure if that was intended or not.....
