[Q] Screen pinkness (is mine normal?)

Hi all,
Picked up my One S on Monday and, so far, in almost every way it's my "perfect" phone - great feel, weight, crazy slick... just lovely.
However (and why is there ALWAYS an Achilles heel?), I'm really not happy about the screen. Ok, it's pentile, but so was my Desire (AMOLED one) and I never had a single problem with that. It's just this one seems so, well, pink! Not just in white balance, but there seems to be too much red everywhere - e.g. text on grey in Tweetdeck has crazy amounts of red fringing (especially noticeable on the yellow too), and the over saturated colours are almost too much (though not much more than my Desire, to be honest).
(Quick comparison of the screen temps attached)
I mean, seriously, that's not normal, right?
Am I the only person who seems to notice red / pink outlines on everything, am I the only person bothered by it, or am I just unlucky with this phone?
I went to Carphone to swap it, but they wouldn't because their manager was out and because I traded down from the X on Monday (flickering screen nightmare), so I had a play on their display model and I convinced myself the screen on that one was better! But, I'd love a second opinion!
Cheers!

Oh that's really pink! Will check mine when it finishes the first round charging.

I would say this isn't normal. On amoled Displays white areas appear a bit blueish or grey. But this red/pink looks unnormal

no, this doesn't look normal. But the thin red and green outlines are caused by the pentile-matrix, this is normal.

Just download Screen Adjuster and increase blue and green values a bit and your red screen will be gone

That's a v. useful app! It's definitely taken the edge off (green & blue at +5), but I'll still pursue a replacement as the contrast has taken a bit of a hit now.
(I'm such a perfectionist!)

Well, when I say "see" I meant on their own One S rather than on my screenshot.

I sometimes notice it being a bit pink when the brightness is set low, have you tired using auto brightness or putting it a bit higher?

Hmm. Other than at 100% brightness, it still seems pinkish. I finally get to persuade CPW to give me a replacement tomorrow...

That's looking odd definitely. Let us know if the replacement is better.
I haven't noticed any issue on mine
sent using HTC1S

mine screen is definitely on the warm side of things (meaning the whites are yellow'ish). seeing how One X has a yellow tint issue (different screen manufacturers involved it seems) and you're playing a screen lottery i wonder if One S is the same. slightly warmer screens is not an issue per se but a strong yellow tint definitely effects the overall brightness and sharpness. i would love to compare different units in store to see if One S with cooler screens actually exist.
the pink tint is a straight up defect, however.

This probably won't help you. It won't hurt I guess, but this is something that can be worked out with a software solution. The SGS had something called Voodoo Colors, and I'm assuming that at some point that'll make it to the One S, as it's an AMOLED device as well. The colors changing on low brightness is one of the characteristics of an AMOLED screen.
As a poster above recommended, install that tool and set adjust the values for now. In due time, this'll be worked out. HTC just didnt do a great job with their color profile.

[fix]fix for smearing issue [updated 19/7/2013]

Update: 6/5/2013
* replaced method 1 with new method
Update: 19/7/2013
* added new hardware level fix for 9500 users
As of now we all know that almost all s4 units is suffering from smearing issue. After fiddling with some apps here and there I found a temporary solution , this should be handy until Samsung fixes it.
I suggest two method for this issue, Method 1 adjusts the rgb values of the screen(overlays) .Method 2 adjusts the contrast levels of the screen.
With both the above mentioned methods the black levels are not pitch black but will be on par with the blacks of s3 or anyother amoled screens. I prefer method 1, if you guys face any problems with method 1 then you can try method 2.
Method 1:
1.install screen adjuster app from market.
2.Set the values of green, blue, red between 5 to10(I prefer 5) and turn on the filter
3.job done
Method 2:
1.install screen adjuster app from market.
2.change the contrast level from -0 to -10(you can go upto -20 depending on how far your eyes can balance between smearing and pitch black)
3.turn on the adjuster.
4.job done
Method 3: (HARDWARE LEVEL FIX ONLY FOR 9500 USERS)
This method fixes the smearing at hardware level and changes contrast level of black backgrounds without touching other colors and dosent drains battery like screen adjuster. Thankst to @AndreiLux and @Slimmer77 for their contribution on screen calibration for 9500

One is software and causes battery drain and applies to all colours if you want it or not, and the other is hardware, costs nothing and targets only black.

Will give a 1.56% grey on blacks and removes all smearing. You need to set digital brightness reduction to 0 though since I didn't plan for this use-case and it negates the above "fix".

1.Install a custom kernel that supports screen calibration.

3.Flash the attached zip file

Users who hate the non black background(especially it looks poor when used along with smearing fix) introduced by samsung on newer roms can flash teh blac background mod attached in this post
Note: Running screen adjuster on background will disable the "install" button while installing apps manually, so disable screen adjuster before you start installing something and resume using screen filter after the installation is over

Personally, if you can fix or at least hide the issue with the above then at the very worst Samsung may change some settings in later roms to the same effect. I am hoping that it is actually a driver issue and a proper fix will come along....
This is an assumption but as the above works then I cannot see it being a hardware issue but then I am no expert.....

Won't this affect battery life? It seems to negate the power saving effect of AMOLED. I believe the smearing comes from the pixels going from off (black) to on (grey) and that switch time not happening fast enough. This app and workaround does definitely work, but it seems that it works because it's changing everything from black to veryyy very dark grey (still looks pretty black to me) however that means that the pixels aren't off if they're displaying grey instead of black right?

ok thx balagamer but its only patch for now hope samsung will fix it as i dont wanna blacks like on SGS3 and i really hope sammys fix wont be the same and they will steal the true black from us...that why i bought amoled right for the blacks

That's how the black looks on s3. Now I can understand why the blacks are pitch black in s4 compared to other galaxies to some extent.

I believe this is indeed the case. Samsung could fix that by maintaining the pixels lit at the lowest power level, like with the previous Galaxy phones. I'm not sure if it's worth it though. Hopefully there'll be some even better work-around.

thats how samsung displayed the blacks in their past galaxy devices. With s4 the black pixels are completely turned off which is not the case with previous galaxy devices. hence even if samsung rolls out a fix they will simply make something similar to what we acheived with "screen adjuster". and dont forget you can still tweak the values in screen adjuster and find the best balance between black and smearing effect, the value "5" mentioned is suitable for me , it may or may not suit others.

so thay fu*ked up display also on previous phones and hide it behind the worse blacks really bravo samsung. I have my SGS4 from yesterday and have to say I see it clearly, the edges of grey lines are getting to purple colour. But I dont care because I can see it only if Im focusing on it. But for normal use you focus on text and what are you looking for and not to some grey lines right? So, Im rather happy with my super deep blacks...maybe some good AOSP/AOKP/Cyanogen will replace TW interface...

I'm not impressed by the screen at all, dead pixels, really bad ghosting and the screen turns pink at the bottom.
HTC One screen at least only had dead pixels.

Does anybody else think the Moto G's screen is too blue?

It's not a bad screen at all but I can tell the screen is a bit more blue than it should be. I wonder if there can ever be a kernel control to dial down the blue, or maybe an update will help color correct it.

No, not at all blue

Nope. The white point on the one I just received is perfect...a tad on the warm side, but not obviously 'yellow' or anything like that. Colors look very natural. I'm extremely impressed; this is a WAY better screen than what's in my Nexus 4.

It's possible, but it may not necessarily be easy. There is an LCD calibration and gamma control/adjuster app for Nexus 4 that I use to make the image on my N4 more acceptable, but it is *very* specific to the N4. In fact, it requires a particular kernel be running on it just to work (definitely not the stock one). Who knows how involved such a task would be on the G, or how soon anybody will realistically be able to tackle it.

...so, Motorola is probably using multiple display vendors, and each one's display has different qualities/traits. I suppose it could also just be "acceptable" variation from display to display coming off of the assembly line of one manufacturer. (Display inconsistencies drive me nuts, too. You shouldn't have to play a "lottery" to get an acceptable display; ugh.)
-- Nathan

The screen on my Moto G is very good. Not too blue at all. I actually compared it to my Nexus 5 side by side and the colors are definitely more vibrant, colorful and sharp on my G. The whites are whiter on the 5 and have a very slight yellow tint on the G but other then that the screen is fantastic. I was very surprised.

Yea my screen is nice on my g. It is little yellowish on white but I have no complaints on my end
Sent from my XT1034 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Mine tends to hue towards the blue but only ever so slightly. Compared next to partners nexus 5 my moto g colours seem to 'pop' more, i.e. have more vibrancy, but her nexus 5 tends to have more natural accurate colour reproduction.
Also the image on my g feels like its seated behind glass whereas the nexus almost feels like your touching the image (read: closer to the surface). Must be to do with the screen coatings or something.

The highly detailed anand tech review also talks in depth about the blue ness of this screen
Sent from Samsung Chat

Nope, when I put it next to my galaxy mega, it's actually warmer. And my mega has a pretty neutral screen.
Compared to my mega, the screen of the moto g is dimmer, and the colors are a bit dull.

Backlight colour variation is a fact of life with white LED backlight - the LEDs are manufactured and then sorted into bins of particular characteristics, and to attain a better cost a manufacturer may specify several bins are acceptable. A device manufacturer might not even specify which bins the backlight for their device should come from, leaving it to the display module manufacturer to choose.

holy shiet faux kernel! i didnt even see it
and yeah, and if faux's kernel does fix it we would have a great display tbh

Faux kernel doesn't yet support colour calibration however I think moto g has perfect mixture of colours as
the whites look crystal white while all the other colours are very accurate and are saturated but not so much.
It has better colour representation than my 2nd gen Nexus which has very excellent screen.

I feel that the contrast for dark colours is not ideal at my phone. When in game in in shade I feel like it was night...

The same problem here too, screen shot on laptop seems blue , but its purple when i see it on my phone.
And also i just figured that the clock app shades change depending on time, so i changed my time to your screen shot time and i compared, its blue on the laptop but purple directly.
so this is general occurrence i assume.

Well, if you're finding any issues with the display you can ask for replacement. They will replace it without any questions.

I have come to peace with it now it definitely is warmer in colour reproduction, but I don't want to risk getting another defective handset over this, the mobile has been great so far, with insane battery i must say. screen on time reached 5.3 hours with average to above average usage. And about 4 hours with heavy usage. Definitely a keeper. thanks for the replies mates.
can close the thread now admins. Or is there an option for me to close it myself?

Just compared my wife's Moto E to my Moto G. Both US. Ran screen test app. The G definitely has a Yellowish cast in the whites and greys. And the colors are different on the same wallpapers.

Some users have reported that in Reddit and SamMobile. I posted a thread a couple of weeks back here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...n-affected-t4153251/post83406075#post83406075

I have reported this in this forum as well. Mine is more a yellowish tint to the overall display. When you look at chrome or YouTube in dark mode, you'll notice the blacks aren't as deep. I have come across 3 different note 20 ultra with the issue which leads me to believe most if not all units have this even if not many ppl report it.

I saw it yesterday when its on low brightness and dark mode on. Even when watching prime video there is green tint though I brought whole green hue to 0

Any of my devices with amoleds look green to me. Must be 65 y.o. vision. Did the trick of turning down the green all the way. No dice.
I use a neat app from the play store called Screen Balance which is a Godsend. You can really fix the tinting with it. I like cooler colors without green and it does the job... but... the saturation and contrast in the Ultra just isn't up to snuff. I only notice it when I put the phone side by side with the Note 9. I have Screenbalance installed in both devices, and the 9 beats the Ultra firmly.
Thoughts or updates?

All I saw was Add Color Lens but at the lowest number washed everything over with the chosen color. Same with color adjustment-barely any changes with the sliders even though I do have the green at zero.
That app is the ticket for me. It has various filters for different screens and the one I chose I adjust for *just* a hint of blue-takes out the greenish without putting a visible tint over everything. I do it on every device I have and for me, works great. Believe me, I've tried everything with every amoled and it's the most workable for me, and I'm anal about this stuff. :rolleyes

Ah I'm running the Android 11 beta so looks like they renamed a few things, but they're the same settings, yes I tried those settings too and got the same effect, I assumed that was what the app did too, looks like it works a bit differently to the stock settings method.

Thanks for the "Screen Balance" app! This app seems to be the only one that gives the fine tuning for white balance without turning Vivid mode ON. It has significantly reduced the yellow tint on my N20 Ultra. I did notice however that it makes the text on screen a little bit less sharp.

I don't have the green tint either. Was all in my head.
Then again maybe not. Lol. I see it and don't see it at night. Regardless of 120 or 60Hz.

I did by going into visibility enhancements, personalized & chose the colours & voila natural mode is now much more white & saturated.

I did that also, but there was still significant yellow tint. The app helped me reduce the yellow tint quite a bit

Well the green tint keeps coming and going on mine.
Noticeable at low light and night time usage when device is in dark mode. Sent it back., I’m nothaving this issue hover over my head with no warranty after dropping over 4 digits on this device.

Interesting.....I guess I'm one of the few lucky ones with no green tint or I'm just not noticing it....let us know how your new one is !!! The only "problem" I've had with mine is a little speck of dust inside the camera module but its not on the lens so it doesn't affect my pictures ??*
