Hi all, yesterday i have bought a brand new s6 gold platinum color (F version) for the wife however I've noticed that the color of the home button is darker than the device's color is this normal? when i search the images on the net the home button color seems identical to the rest of the device.
your help is much appreciated,
I have the same thing
Same on my pearl white.
Yes, normal. Ask samsung why
I think people can see colour differences, well differently.
I can see on mine that the material used for the button is obviously different to that of the phone, leading to a slight change of colour.
Totally as you would expect.

I exchanged my Nexus S for a new one. One thing I have noticed so far is that the blacks don't seem AS dark on the new one as they did on the previous one.
For example, pressing menu from the main screen you get that little popup of black options like wallpaper, system etc...
On my previous device these options were very dark black, on the new one they are somewhat transparent yet still black. Hard to explain I guess but it's a noticeable difference between the too.
I'm not totally sure yet but I think the whites are whiter also.
I wonder which of the phones has the intended look... the dark black or the somewhat transparent black.
wierd.. all the us phones suppose to come with samoled... all the same screen
could be your brightness setting, i have a gingerbread theme on my nexus one and on lower brightness the menu looks solid black, but on others you can see that it's transparent. also depends on the background as well.

Yup. You'll find the tolerances for the screens to be quite low. I've looked at and handled quite a few NS and the screens have been different on every one of them.
As long as your screen doesn't have a yellow tint whilst auto brightness is enabled, you're good.
I remember reading somewhere that some Nexus S phones will ship with SLCD screens instead.

Yeh that will be for the Russian and maybe other markets if/when they launch there early next year.
I had to swap out my second NS for the screen. The last one had a real bad yellow tint to it. When put side by side the new one looked great. Typical issues I suppose. Its interesting to have these little issues with the phone when the Galaxy S line as a whole has been solid aside from reports of GPS issues.

Have you tried adjusting the brightness level on the display? Menu/Settings/Display
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
I have the same
Its a common issue. But it shouldnt be like that. You should get a replacement

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.

It's normal.
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.
hey guys, I'm about to buy a new Z3, but i'm confused about colors,
I really like the white one, but I'm afraid that wallpapers will make a conflict with the white color of the phone , I mean the white bezels of the phone in the white version, will I face color mismatching with 'em among different situations/wallpapers.
so is that right ? if any of you have the white one please tell me about your visual experience,
opinions, people !
Find a white wallpaper that you like. Mess with white balancr in the display settings until you find the most neutral white. Personally I think xperia z3 is far too blue, and given that the blue pixel is the most important in preserving the whiteness of the screen, I find it best to preserve the blue pixel as much as possible. Which is why I turn the red balance almost all the way up and the green balance somewhere around halfway, until I find it's balanced to my liking. This way you get a softer and purer white, whilst retaining the life of the blue pixels. And if you find the right balance, you'll find it also matches your case. Do it indoors in a naturally well lit room, without a room light or lamp. Hope this helps.

ahem, up!
There are plenty of wallpapers out there. Just get the one what fits your color. White is the best as you wont notice any fingerprints where as black is a fingerprint magnet.
Hello, guys!
First of all, I am new here and I am not as good as most of you Devs are, so please bear with a beginner here.
I am looking for a way to downgrade my Sony Xperia Z3 D6653 from Android Lollipop 5.1.1 build number 23.4.A.1.232, to Android KitKat 4.4.4. I have no clue whatsoever on what to do. So, if any of you Devs please help me.
I also have another concern. I don't know whether this is from my update on 5.1.1 or after I dropped my phone when I was on the toilet. ( Don't ask why I did ) Anyway, my concern is that whenever my phone boots up, or whenever I use a dark wallpaper, or simply any dark color, there's a small purple and a little smudge of pink on the upper left of my unit. It looks like the design brand of Nike to be honest. On light colors, especially white, there are no signs of the said color. Only on dark and boot up. For example, when you're opening a YouTube video and the video is still black due to buffering, you can see the purple or pink smudge, Nike like design color. It's really irritating as I am a huge fan of dark colors. It is quite noticeable whenever I set the brightness to maximum. On 50% to lowest, it it not. But since I'm quite the meticulous person, I can see it pretty well especially on low light. How do I fix this? I've searched on common defects on Sony handsets such as dead pixels. And mine is different to a dead pixel. I also searched photos of devices that were dropped and there were colors such as blue, purple, pink, etc that form a huge line. But the difference between mine and theirs is that mine is only visible on dark colors. On light, none. Theirs, may it be light or dark, it is prominent. My friend also told me about this that IT COULD BE because of the update as to why it only appears on dark colors. And just to remind you, my floor was wet and my phone fell face down on the rubber matting of the floor. Could it be that the motherboard was affected of the impact that it produced such colors on dark colors? I have no clue. Just theories that I mentioned based on my researches. I LOVE THIS PHONE and I plan to repair it in any way possible ( except for opening it ). So, please, if any kindhearted Devs out there who are willing to help me. I WILL BE MOST GRATEFUL. I do not have money yet to upgrade to the new Xperia Z5. And even if I do have it, I'd love to keep my Z3. Pls do help. I can't send you a picture of my concern, but if it helps, imagine a black color and there's a small Nike Logo colored in purple and pink on the upper left corner.

Hello guys!
Today, after comparing two galaxy s8 plus I noticed that my display, looks a little bit yellow than white. Just the white color, it's not so white... Not sure how to explain it. On the other galaxy, the white is white, like have to, mine look a little bit "yellowish". On both device display settings are not touched. Do you think I should take it to service? Or is just software issue?

Did you accidently turn in blue filter? There's a toggle for it and I've seen people hit it by mistake.

I didn't touch anything. I found this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTQr6VwMfBI on youtube. So basically Samsung cant make the same color screen on every device? But how can I fix this? Maybe if move the red option in display settings?
Do you think if the white is not white, this means the rest colors are not shown properly also?
