Retail Moto G, nothing changed from stock except an unlocked bootloader.
Got Lollipop pushed yesterday, and afterwards, the screen looks different. The saturation looks off, and blacks looks deeper. I tried messing with the brightness, I turned on and off the adaptive brightness, and nothing seems to get the screen to look like it did under KitKat.
Did Lollipop change the graphics driver for the device? It looks like some type of sub pixel shading or something is going on. It's giving me a headache.
We need a picture of it

It will be easier to look at this problem if you provide a picture or screenshot of the device with display ON. :fingers-crossed:
Is it possible that this is a placebo effect?

justed updated to 2.3.3 and the colors seem VERY washed out
anyone else notice this?
Same here, many others with the same issue. This sucks!
damn i know! not using the screen to its full capabilities. oh well. voodoo color is always an alternative.
Anyone whos rooted installed this update ? can we re-root and unlock bootloader ? and then install a old nadroid back up?
yes after you update, you have to fastboot flash clockwork, then boot into clockwork and flash the su zip. then if you want clockwork to stick (not get overwritten after every reboot) you have to rename the file called "install-recovery.sh" in the /etc folder. i just rename it to install-recovery.sh.old

I am running a stock NS on 2.3.3 and I run my display brightness to just above the lowest possible setting. What I noticed after loading 2.3.3 was the screen looked dimmer at that same brightness setting. I simply upped it a little bit and now it looks fine to me. I don't see any yellow tint or anything.

well i usually set it to auto brightness, but after upping it a little bit, it is improved. i wish it was better at lower brightness levels.
colours on mine seems washed out too...
i have the same issue, the colors are more horrible than was in 2.3.2
The colors have always been horrible on the ns with the auto-brightness setting. Voodoo ftw!

Damn, the 2.3.3 update converts our AMOLED screen to a SLCD screen
Yes the screen looks terrible. Google NEEDS to fix this..
Looks like they changed the whitepoint from cool blue to warm yellow. Gonna take some getting used to. Meh.
I've always left my phone on auto brightness since I first got it. With this update the colours look more natural but looks like they have knocked down the contrast a few notches and upped the brightness a touch. The greys definitely look a few shades lighter. Its probably more at reference level now, im sure ill get used to it.

yes, just updated here as well and same thing. i really notice it on the whites, seem very yellowish... other than that looks normal to
It looks like the autobrightness feature is set a little lower than before. And, it is a lot slower to readjust to changes in ambient light. If I manually increase the brightness, then my screen doesn't look any different than before the update.

The greys actually look like grey now. Before the update, it was a bit reddish, the redness is very obvious when the screen brightness is set to low (and if you activate the Screen Filter app, the redness becomes more obvious).

The colors may look different . . . I think it looks better if anything.
After the Nexus S 2.3.3 update the colors are way off
I posted a link about this at Google's forum center. Here's the link.

Yeah, colors are off. I went back to 2.3.2
The colors on the screen are gorgeous and bright, but black text on a white or gray background is actually pretty dim, much dimmer than even my Inspire. Is this just a limitation of the ameoled screen, or do I have a bad phone? Is there any fix if it's typical? Pretty much a deal breaker for me if I can't fix this... Thanks for any help!
Black text on a white background is as plain as night and day for me. Id say check out the store demo to compare. If the demo is better than yours, swap out.

Good call, I'll do that. Out of curiousity, what was your last phone, and have you compared black on white with it? Thanks!
There is a setting under display that says 'anaylize images and adjust screen brightness' to save battery. This is checked by default and was not on the og s2. This is also separate from the auto adjust brightness to ambient light. I found that when i unclicked this, all my screen concerns went away.

Thanks! That was driving me crazy. It was very prevalent in the stock email app. I can't believe I overlooked that stupid box...lol.
Where is this setting I don't see it in display. The white and black drives me crazy with this phone.

Settings>Display>Auto adjust screen power. Uncheck that box.
It will put a little more drain on your battery, but it's more than worth it, and hardly noticeable to me.
Thanks.. Still seems like the colors are off compared to the Epic.

For those of you who want to fix the colors on the Skyrocket, I posted the solution here:

I've had Z3 since january and never had any problems with it. Yesterday I installed 5.1.1 Nordic build and while all went smoothly I have this problem with contrast or gamma right after unlocking screen. It goes all the way up, stays crazy for a few seconds and than goes normal. It is incredibly annoying. It is not brightness which goes way up, but contrast or gamma as it washes out the colors and looks horrible.
It happens only if Adaptive brightness is turned on, and no matter if it is dark or light outside. Tried playing with X-reality but no change.
I really have no idea what is going on, so any ideas are welcome.
Thank you for your time!
it's a known bug on the new .546 build
Ahh than I'm cool Thanks, where do you follow the known bugs and stuff? I searched here and didn't find anything
Yeah. I'm having the same issue with . 546, is so annoying
Oh yes me too, after 5.1.1, just turn off adaptive brightness. At least after the new update released
Edit: i thought the problem is only with notification shade pulled down, it's actually on all display?? Now it really is annoying to me, although not too much
@Melhisedek: we all knew it because we've experienced it

It happens to me too .. I do not know what to do !!
.580 didn't fix this problem, nor the bold clock on the lockscreen.
This is not only since the .546 version.
It was there on 5.0.2. Atleast for me...
I have just upgraded my S6 to Marshmallow, I noticed straight away the screen now has a slight yellow tint,
this was not there on Android L, it also seems to lack the same sort of contrast it had before.
I asked a few friends to check theirs and the same thing has happened, I have tried a full wipe etc and messed with the display settings but still the same.
When you first turn the phone on, you see the Samsung Logo, it starts off a nice white and then you see it turn yellowish.
So something in the software has changed, I wonder if it is just the S6 that does this? Is it too stop screen burn from the blue pixels or have Samsung gone all Apple and gimped the screen to make the S7 look better?
Also adapt display > modepreviewtablet has gone in marshmallow!, although I didn't have to do this on Android L.
Either way I'm frustrated now.
My S6 (920I) has not had the screen change at all when updating...
Mine is exactly the same as it was on LP, no change and absolutely fine, now BTU UK MM.
If you watch your phone carefully when you switch it on, look at the Samsung logo and it starts off a nice white and then it gets a slight yellow tint.

I agree, but the same thing happens with Lollipop.
Hi!
My screen behave strange from a few days:
- Sometimes the screen slightly flashes, I can see it especially when it's in charge and it has brightness low or very high
- The screen is slightly yellowish. I tried setting it with the nvidia tool to setup colours, but even setting temperature at maximum screen remains yellowish
- I'm experiencing burn-in which is very rare for a ips screen
- Gradient background show bands of different colour gradation.
I tried a wipe and nothing change, so I think I have to send it back. I have this device from 2 months and I never had this issues. I would like to know if someone other had these issues and what do you think it's better do.
Wrong thread, sorry.

I didn't changed anything. Suddenly I had those weird issues.
Now I returned back and I have a new one. There are still banding problems but now it's working all correctly.
Very strange how screen panel works so much different on different shield tablet k1
Thanks anyway
