hey guys... ive bought a dual sim version of the xperia z5 about 5 days ago. upon the boot screen, the display was cool as it should be... but when the initial startup was completed and the brightness of the display lowered,i noticed that the screen had an extremely noticeable yellow color
i changed the white balance of the green and blue by 130 and 187 approx respectively so that i could get a relative white display at low brightness
being a previous owner of a z1 which had a yellow hue at edges i knew that my z5 display had a problem
i also had a z3 with no display issues which retained a 'white' color when brightness was reduced
as i cant take a picture of my screen atm i searched for pics of nexus 5x with this issue 'http://i.imgur.com/MPG4kTc.jpg' on the left is a 5x and right a z3. my display colour is even warmer than the 5x in this pic
if any of you guys had a jailbroken ios device with flux, the color of my display is near the warmest choice available
as a small resume, my z5 display becomes more yellowish as he brightness is reduced
do any of you guys have experienced this problem??? and should i seek for another unit ?
Replace the phone for sure.
Sony use different screen for each unit as always,that's why they included the white balance menu cause they know how crap is the screen they use.
Everyday i have to tweak the white balance cause of colors change.

I made a screen white balance adjuster for android screens (with a few other adjustments, e.g. tint and brightness)...
Some phones are lucky enough to already have these, like the Xperia seriese, but they you have my Moto X that has a yellow tint for some reason!
If you want to give it a go, it's here.

Ha, yes, well, this app corrects it!
I have updated it to adjust the contrast as well.
I also have a Moto X and looking for a way to get rid of the yellowish tint. I tried the app but I can't find a way to make the colors colder or change the white balance. All I can do is set a tint/filter and change the strength of it. Changing color modes between tind and white balance seems to do nothing. (Version 4.0)
Is it even possible to change the yellow tint with the free version? I will not buy the paid version unless I am sure that it can do more and it's what I really need.
Also, what are the downsides and the effect on pixel longevity, battery and performance? I tried chainfire's cf.lumen (which requires root) and it has the nasty habit of applying its filters twice when switching between portrait and landscape. I guess your app does also just overlay a transparent, tinted image over the whole screen?
I really don't want to get used to a new calibration and then find out that I have to switch back to the old one because of a drawback.
my N6 has yellow tint too...but only on the bottom part...how can i adjust only the bottom part ?is there any possible way to do it ?if i adjust my whole screen with your app there will be a difference between top and bottom ..i have this stupid yellow tint on white and grey background..on grey it is soooooooooooo bad
Strange thing.
Today I decied to compare the displays of my two Edges - one black bought right after launch, the second one white bought few days ago. Guess what? The display is not the same. There is difference in colors intensity (white one has more strong colors and the white is more clear, where the black one seems darker more dim, like used) Or at least it is my impression. I checked both in the maximum brightness and in basic mode.... So after all, not all Edges just differ cause of processor ? Anyone checked it as well ?
Here we have 2 edges- white & gold, and the displayed colors of the white s7e seem to be a little bit more pastel, but it is not a big different. However, under same displaysettings there are some differences.
Btw the white s7e has the Sony Camera sensor, the golden one has Samsungs sensor. Has nothing to do with the display, just wanted to say.
I think i know where is problem- i have damaged screen . Now i can clearly see that yhe edges of the screen have kind of red tint. Similar to tvs that have their screen burned but here is just one color red. So i guess i have two phones that gotta go under warranty. I will post photos tomorrow .
This is normal by nature of amoled or any other type of screens. They just differ by nature. However i agree your point. Newer s7 edge displays have better whites. I left my device for screen replacement and the new one have a brighter and whiter display compared to old one.

search for my amoled threads, I started quite a few during the last years. and I exchanged every galaxy device I bought a few times to get one with a decent screen!
if you place 10 devices side to side, every screen will be little different in regard to tint, uniformity,...
only about 15% are close to perfect, these are the ones cut out from the center of the display wafer during production!

Theres a picture below comparing screen of my z3+ to xz. I notice a bit yellowish screen of xperia xz.
my display is white like it should be i think...u probably have screen issues and should ask sony whats going on and maybe they will replace the screen.i would take it to waranty.
i compared my XZ display against z5 and i can say that it is more brighter and it has more white-ish tone on the display...z3+ simply CAN'T have BETTER display then newer flagship phones(specaily the XZ)...its not an upgrade then LOL...i would try some restoring and repairing before sending it to waranty just for curosity... but i doubt it would help...just want to let u know my xperience and hope it helped u somehow. Cheers
I do know that my XZ color temperature isn't as cold/blue as my Z3 (D6616) was. I don't have any tools to test, but I believe my XZ is closer to the "proper" 6500K color temp, while my Z3 was like 9000K.
I could be wrong since I can't see yours in person, but could it be possible that your Z3+ has a very cold blue tint that you got used to, and it makes your XZ look yellow? I have a feeling that camera you used to take that picture adjusted its white balance to your Z3+.
I'm trying to take a picture of my Z3 next to my XZ to show an example, but my LG G6 camera can't seem to show what I mean. I did have this issue when I switched from a Nexus 4 to a Nexus 5. I got so used to the Nexus 4's cold blue tint, that I thought my Nexus 5 was yellow and defective. But after I got used to the color temperature of the Nexus 5, I couldn't believe how blue the Nexus 4 was. I've been a tint snob, display whore, and obsessed with white balance ever since.
Here's a picture of my Nexus 4 and 5 side by side. Even though the 5 has the correct white balance, it looks yellow because the camera adjusted the white balance to the 4.
Or maybe the screen on your XZ is in fact defective. I would take it to a mobile store and compare it to iPhones and maybe HTC devices, as these seem to have better white balance than most devices in my opinion.
The XZ does lean a bit more to the warmer color temperature than previous models, specially my Z3 and M4 Aqua, those have a very strong blue tint and I had to increase red and green in settings to compensate.
Can't you adjust the white balance in the display settings?
I have red and green on 0 and blue on 40. It seems to give the best result of white, compared to my PC monitor (IPS). If you go to 50 on blue, it starts getting a blue tint a bit.
If your screen is so yellow you can't even adjust it, then it's defective. Take it to the store and compare.
Keep in mind though, even with IPS, there can be some slight variations from unit to unit in color tint, but not much. It's more common with AMOLED.
Also it's difficult to tell for us via photos, because any camera will compensate at least a bit for the white balance and brightness.
Either way, your eye will get used to it if the screen is not actually defective, and a recommendation would always be to have the balance set leaning more to yellow than blue tint, it's much less straining to your eyes, and after a while it won't look "yellow" any more.
I experienced that when I got the new monitor, it appeared a bit yellow to me, but then my friend (video editor) tested it with one of those devices that tests color accuracy , contrast and white balance and saw that it was almost perfect, and my previous monitor had heavy blue tint that I got used to, which is bad.
I'd go to a store and compare it to one of the units there.

Judging by this photo, it seems to me that you have night mode enabled.
Is it yellow during that white xperia bootanimation as well?
Edit:
Sorry, just now i've read the full text of your post xD
My LG v50 Korean version that I recently purchased does not power off the pixel completely while showing black, I notice this when comparing my Xperia 1 and this phone.
Its very noticeable, the panel is still powering all of the screen while showing black while my Xperia 1 does not.. It's like having an extremely high contrast ratio LCD screen
Have anyone else noticed this, like playing this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Y9nX0QHqzA&t=1s in high brightness in a very dark room?
Or is it something wrong with my phone?
I recently sent my phone back for a screen replacement. And the new screen is insanely greenish, not partially greenish, but greenish everywhere. After comparing it with other phones, I found that it was not a too-much-green problem, because the screen still looks off with green intensity reduced with Color Changer Pro. The problem is the screen's tint is off, which should be moved towards the megenta side.
And I saw that you get to manually control the tint on Xiaomi phones. There's no such thing on Samsung's One UI. I know you can control the color balance when you set your screen mode to Adaptive, but it's wayyy to saturated and like I said, reducing green intensity won't solve the problem.
So anyone got an idea about how I can change the tint of the screen? Thanks ahead.
