If I factory rest will it fix it

Link doesn't work

To me, it looks like it's your screen which is a hardware issue. A factory reset won't fix that.

[Q] Defective display?

I don't really know what is happening but my year old nexus 5 seems to be developing a display problem.
It got a yellowish tint at the bottom of the screen but the top 3/4 is totally fine. What is causing it and is it just me who have this problem? Also, if you have any, please post some solutions to the problem without RMA or replacing anything.
It might be something about light leak but I am not seeing any when the screen is displaying a black picture.

I have a similar thing but it tends to only be on the bottom 1/8 of the screen.
I tend to find this is because this is the least used area of the screen - being where the soft keys go. Try running it full screen, full brightness on a white page (probably using something like this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gombosdev.displaytester&hl=en_GB). When you do this, does the yellowish tint fade over time?

By Over Time do you mean 30 minutes or a day? I tried this method before for about half an hour and it does not seems to be working. Will try it again now. But will it really help?
My OCD is killing me. I told myself not to look at the tint and I end up just staring at it.

Nexus 5 display multicolored dots and black screen

Hey guys,
my phone felt on the floor and the screen was broken. Unfortunatly also the display showed just colored dots. So I bought a display on ebay replaced it and it worked fine. After a few days the screen started to flicker and after one day the screen was completely stuck. It showed the same pattern (colored dots like on the TV) like it did before. I made a hard reset and it worked again. After a few days the same problem. Then i read that i should replace the USB Flex cable. I did it but still nothing is better.
As I said, when I make a hard reset it works for a few days/hours and then I end up with a colored or even completly black screen . The digitzier seems to work because it reacts to touch gestures. Also the phone itself works (gets messages etc.) while the screen makes the problems.
Could you help me out here or give me a hint what I could test to find out what I realy have to replace?

Upgraded to Marshmallow (BTU UK ROM) Now slight yellow tint to display.

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.

Horizontal lines and now a black screen

My trusty old Nexus 5 has been showing horizontal white lines on the screen the past few weeks. Whenever this started to happen, it would detect taps in random areas on the screen or become unresponsive. Rebooting the phone would temporarily fix the problem. Last night the battery got entirely drained and now when I boot the phone, it only shows a black screen. The led at the bottom is flashing in white. Has anyone been able to fix this issue? I was thinking that maybe a LSD cable got loose, so it's fixable, but from what I've read it's likely that the LCD is broken?
I hope someone can shed some light on what the issue is and whether I can fix it or not.
Thanks in advance.
Was the phone every dropped? It could be the LCD or motherboard. I think the only way to really tell would be to move the motherboard to a working phone to see what happens when you try to boot.

Help! Frustrating Red tint problem

Hi guys, my phone got the red tint problem, there is a rectangle red tint on the right side of the phone and the edge too and i checked screen mod>adaptive display>advanced setting>screen edge coulour balance and it does nothing, no change at all and the screen edge colour balance does nothing too, please what should i do? is there a chance to fix my phone with this frustrating problem?
In our country we don't have samsung service center so no way to contact samsung for that. I'm starting to hate samsung phone!
I saw on youtube that there is a software solution by flashing it through a new software(chinese one) so do you guys solved yours or is there another solution or whatever solution that can bring back my phone screen to normal??
Thank you
