Some people have been reporting washed out displays on new nexus phones (Nexus 6p and 5x) and this has happened to me. However, I found the solution. Follow the following steps.
1. Go to settings.
2. Tap about phone.
3. Tap build number 7 times (or until it says developer options are enabled).
4. Go to developer options.
5. Scroll down until you see "Show Surface Updates" and enable it.
6. You should see purple flashing every time something on the screen moves. Scroll up and down a couple of times and then disable "Show Surface Updates".
7. Your screen should be back to normal.

Greetings.
Thank you for using XDA Assist.
I think you should read the sticky threads for the Assist forum, as this really doesn't belong here. Perhaps share this info in the relevant device specific forums.

Hello guys, I'm quite new in this forum. I saw that in a lot of threads people were asking about the fix of yellowish or any other tone on the display. I saw many solutions. Some were telling to make the screen hot. Again some were telling that it's a hardware problem. But today I will give the actual solution of this problem which will work on all lollipop running devices. The problem is the colour temperature of your device. Let's see the solution below:thumbdown:
Steps to remove the tone:thumbdown:
1. Go to system settings.
2.Then find "Display and Lights" and click there to enter.
3.Then find "LiveDisplay" and enter there.
4.Now at first click on "Colour Temperature".
5.Set "Day" to 6500K and "Night" to 4500K.
6.Now click on "Display mode"
7. Select "Day" and click OK.
8. Your screen will be back to it's original state. !:thumbup:
That's the simple guide. Don't forget to comment if you face problems !
Hit thanks if it worked.
Credits to : Me (If someone already find out this solution then believe me I didn't copy him. I was just playing with my device and discovered the solution:what.
Thanks for reading !

Guys, READ THIS 100% BEFORE MESSING WITH YOUR DEVICE. YOU MUST BE ROOTED TO DO THIS, AND YOU MUST HAVE ELEMENTALX KERNEL INSTALLED. If you do not know what you are doing, what root is, what a kernel is, or how to begin, it's likely best you stop now...with that said... I figured out a way to enable double tap to wake on the pixel that actually works as I have already done it. Visit the following link: (ignore the fact that the thread is about the Note 3. This is an android apk file that works on 7.1, and on the Pixel just fine.) I am using it on my 5" Pixel as I type this even, however, Although I do not think it would have any trouble on the 5.5" Pixel XL, do not hold me to it working on that device, as I have not tested it. USE THIS INFO AT YOUR OWN RISK. I did not create, contribute to, or assist in any part of creating this app, and take no credit for it. The app downloads with a file name of "app-release.apk" (odd I know) but it is in fact the "Kernel Adiutor MOD" app. Once the kernel is installed, and you have RE-RUN THE ROOT METHOD, (which is the boot-to-root.img you should have already done when you rooted your Pixel), then download the app, install it, got to the menu icon at the top left, go to "Misc Controls" toggle the "Apply on Boot" to "On", and the "Toggle SE Linux" to "Off" which changes the status to "Permissive", then reboot, and return to the app where you need to go to the menu, tap "Wake Controls", and toggle the "Apply on Boot" to "On", and "DoubleTap2Wake" to "Halfscreen". It works anywhere on the screen. I tested it multiple times (the double tap that is), but for some reason "Fullscreen" setting will not stick. After doing this, reboot again, and BOOM ! You have double tap to wake !
PLEASE NOTE, AFTER A REBOOT, THE SET ON BOOT NEEDS YOU TO UNLOCK YOUR PHONE AT LEAST ONCE, AND TAKES SOMETHING LIKE 2 MINUTES OR A LITTLE LESS TO APPLY THE SETTING, AND FOR DOUBLE TAP TO BEGIN WORKING, BUT WILL REMAIN WORKING SEAMLESSLY FOR THE DURATION OF THE DEVICE BEING POWERED ON (FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN SO FAR) JUST AN FYI. BEST I CAN GIVE YA GUYS, I SIMPLY FIGURED OUT PART OF THE CONFIGURATION TO MAKE IT WORK. IN THE SETTINGS YOU CAN TURN OFF THE NOTIFICATION IT CREATES AFTER APPLYING THE SETTING IF YOU WANT.

Thank you !
Thanks for providing some valuable input, compared to talking trash. You're awesome !
I recently purchased off of eBay a Insignia Flex 10 tablet. It was dirt cheap, so I knew something had to be wrong; IE: not charging, stuck in DLmode, etc. Welps, it worked fine with the exception that it was locked down to a unknown google account, and the seller claimed ignorance... Anyhow, I've had to deal with FRP in the past, so undeterred I jumped right in and kicked its a$$... And this is how I did it:
At initial setup screen, hit power butt0n
Choose "settings" from Shutdown Menu
Choose Wifi and connect to a hotspot then go back to initial Settings menu
Choose "Sound & Notifications"
Choose "App Notifications"
Click the three box icon thing top right corner and select "Show System"
Scroll to very bottom and select\long press "You Tube"
Choose "App Settings"
Choose "About"
Choose "You Tube Terms of Service"
At this point, Chrome will open. You now can use whatever means (via chrome..) you have available to you
to get the file "TestDPC_3011.apk" (attached top this post) onto your tablet. I personally used HFS web\file server on my local network. When you first attempt to download the file, a couple of things will happen. It will want to update permissions
(agree\let it) then next it will ***** about blocking the install. Follow link to the security settings, and turn on
"Unknown Sources". Re-run the install of TestDPC, then choose "Open" upon installation completion. If you made it this far,
the rest will be totally self explanatory. Good work! You've just circumvented FRP.
this guide really did work! thank you so much!
+++ worked great on a lenovo 10 tablet TB-X103F 6.0.1 . But can I remove Test DPC app or remove it from device administrator? I've already opened developer options and turned on everything plus signed in to gmail. I can definitely live with it like this.

As per the title, I've enabled the Developer Options menu by tapping the build number 7 times, the entry appears in the Settings menu but when I try to open it I get a message : "You must first Enable Developer Options". Is there another setting hidden somewhere else ? I can't find anything by using the built-in search engine.

Hello, No there isn't.
Reboot the phone, tap build number again 7/8 times and see if it works again. If your on branded firmware it's sometimes disabled.

I already tried this several times before posting here, and I'm running the stock Samsung ROM. Weird thing is it used to work some time ago.
From what can tell despite being enabled, I can no longer see developer options in settings. I'm assuming this happened after I rooted, because I had been in the setting before. I tried a few searches but they were all related to how to enable developer option.
You may need to re-enable the developer options again by clicking the "Build" number a bunch of time in the "about" section of settings, then developer options should re-appear in settings.

ok, yea that was the first thing i did when I was unable to locate it. I even searched it but nothing came up. What's odd is I kept going back, scrolling through thinking I was missing something...after maybe the 4th time I searched it again, despite it not working previously, but it showed up. So i am able to access it through searching, but I still don't see it in the settings list.
OK,
Might be a dumb question, but you do know that to get to "Developer" options you first need to go into "Settings", then "System", then drop down "Advanced", then scroll down and second from the bottom is "developer options".
If it's not there, then maybe go back into developer options using the search as you stated, then turn off developer options via the slide switch at the top, then re-enable it using the build taps and see if it then adds it back into settings.

wow, wtf. I used developer options already on this phone to enable usb debugging.
I had no issues finding it, I swear it was just in the list with the regular settings, the ones with the color icons next to them....but you're right, it was right where you said it was. Doesn't look familiar at all considering I've already accessed the setting a couple times before.
Thanks man, idk how long it would've taken me to figure that out.
