On my S7 g930f the LED color is not white as it should be but kind of purple.
Yellow is a bit orange and green.
Blue, red and green are oke.
is this some faulty hardware in the S7?
Not heard of any issues like this before, though it could be because its shooting through the glass of the screen itself.
Have you tested any playstore 'notification changer' apps to see if they are any better? could be SW issue?
Will try that!
I thought I've red about one user with same problem but I can't find it anymore.

No probs, keep us updated
Unfortunately same problem with light flow!
Seems like an hardware problem.
With white you can cleary see the three led's where blue has the upper hand turning the light purple.

Ah that's annoying, how old is the phone? Might be one for warranty :/
2 days old
But you guys don't have any problems? White is white?

I have exactly the same issue.

Gold version? I think it's normal.
I never had a pure white light from the phones, S4 to S7. I thought it was normal since they were merely combining other LEDs to create the white colour.
I've never seen a truly white LED either. Every S7 I've used upon which the white LED color was selected has looked more like a pale violet to me. I have an old motorola atrix here and for curiosity sake I've just checked its version of a white LED... it as well produces a pale shade of violet that's supposed to pass for white. So I'd say it's typical.
The S5 is almost pure white.
S6 is worse then S5 but way better then S7.
I did saw that light flow had an better white than WhatsApp white (which I use for white led)

Viber also has white color for notifications, and mine is pink, I use magenta for whatsapp, so I never know whether it's whatsapp or viber. That's how pink my white is!
But when it's only green, it glows ok. I think the problem is that the diode isn't centered well under the hole. I can see that my green diode is too much on the right side, I can see it glowing under the front panel paint.
Well that maybe correct.
When i look closely at the front camera that one isn't centered exactly in the middle of the hole!

I've found the same thing regarding the alignment status of the S7's front camera lenses. I've had a total of eight S7 phones in my possession and most of them had a significantly obvious misalignment of the front camera lens relevant to the position of its round port opening. The notification LED seems to suffer from this affliction as well to some degree. Out of the seven S7's I temporarily possessed prior to the one I currently have, only two of them had what I consider to be aesthetically pleasing front camera lens alignment - the one I have now is actually a bit off, but I've accepted it. And as I stated previously, every S7 upon which I tried the white LED (with both LightFlow and/or Light Manager, or simply from the notification provisions of individual apps) showed the pale violet color upon illumination. I thus think that Samsung may need to improve their quality control to some extent. I consider the alignment of components within an expensive device like an S7 to be a fairly important priority.

When you start the app, at the xda splach screen is the bronze / red colour the same across the whole screen or is it like a gradient getting lighter towards the top left?
Just wondering if my screen is duff but maybe I'll be better downloading a screen test app.

No, nothing wrong with your screen for that reason. Just loaded xda and it does change shades from top to bottom.
If you think there's issue with the screen, google search for a photographic color calibration image, that should give you a good image to check with.
Thanks. I thought that was the case as I haven't seen this problem in any other apps or when using the phone normally. Still a relief to hear though!
no clue, i have set mine to DARK theme to safe power.
but when i look at a BLANK WHITE page, the 2 bottom corners just above the 4 soft buttons have a weird purplish gradient, which did not exist in Galaxy S
but that is due the Concave screen design
Mines on dark also but I'm talking about the splash screen that shows on starting the app - whether light or dark theme selected.
No such purple tint here.
The xda splash screen gradient looks a little banded because of the pentile sub pixel layout of the amoled screen. Nothing really wrong with your screen, that's just the way it is with these screens. It's a trade off.
Don't think I'm seeing banding, it's just the fact the xda splash screen tends to lighten as it gets to the top left of the screen.
From what others have said this seems normal though so. I'm not concerned.
Ah got it, I mis read. Yeah I think that's normal.
This is slightly off topic but relevant to the xda app. When I first view a new thread using the app, it always jumps either to the last page or a random page. Or if the thread is only one page long, it starts halfway down the thread. Again this is for new threads I've never viewed before. Anyone else experiencing this or know how I can fix this?
Thanks!

i have a very nice and smooth dark brown to light brown gradient going from bottom right to top left
on the Galaxy S
the same gradient looks like chopped, chunky, banded, it's like looking at a picture in 16bit color (SGS) vs 32bit color (SNS)

That's originally what I meant with my post cause I see the banding on my screen too. It should be identical since these screens are literally identical I believe.

Hey everyone, I bought my HTC One S used, and at a discounted price because of screen burn-in. The burn-in isn't noticeable at higher brightness settings, but when there is a dark background applied, or when the backlight is dim, you can clearly see burned in areas.
Has anyone had any success using any burn-in removal techniques with apps like Display Tester?

What exactly is screen burn-in? Is it the same as the screen has different color depending on what angle you are looking at it? My experience is when i look directly on my screen, it show some yellowish in white background, but when i tilt it forward or backward, the white becomes white with no yellowish color. And when i turn it sideways it become pinkish.. do you think my screen is busted? Or is it what you call the screen burn-in?

TC is probably referring to ghosting. Kinda like
http://www.pixeltuneup.com/images/screenburn.jpg
or to a lessor extend but more common
http://img162.imageshack.us/img162/5523/2005fpwsw2.jpg
Notice the faint icons? As to fixing it, I don't believe there is a way other than replacing the screen. It happens when an image is displayed without movement. It sort of "burns" into the screen, and when viewing something else, its slightly visible, thus "ghosting"
As for the yellow tint you see in the whole screen, I believe some displays are just like that.

tbh i wonder what would happen if you attempted to burn in the color inverted (dont do it, lol)
But most likely a new screen, which isn't too expensive.
If you had a big enough discount, it'd be no problem.

[REQ]Any developer that could help me with something? I want to make this app matching system UI with ready filters and put it in Setting so that it will look integrated like the galaxy screen settings, that would help ppl think the screenproblem is just a soft problem and doesn't depend on hardware. Please be kind and PM me
As many have noticed, and even made some ppl crazy is the yellow tint on our screen(HTC One X, Xperia Ion, S etc).
Searching for screen filtering at play store made my day!
Then i found this app: LINK https://play.google.com/store/apps/...e=search_result&rdid=com.netmanslab.sa&rdot=1
I installed it and then made a filter with:
Red 0
Green 0
Blue 8
Brightness: 100%
Contrast: -0
That made me feel like replacing the whole screen!
Second thing you should do is:
Press the MENU-button and go in to Options
Autorun [YES]
Hide status bar icon [YES]
Enjoy your screen!"
Works perfectly! Thanks again to roobeyn
Wow!
People are often choosing blue screen as being more white than real white color is. Please read why choosing white other then 6500k is making your eye not seeing many colours.

Screen in one s is really very good calibrated as in every HTC phone past HTC Desire with amoled (which was first HTC calibrated screen with ota update and that update made reddish screen looks better).
Of course as every amoled it is very oversaturated, but it looks good on phone screen.
Anyway your advise for people which likes blue screen: adding blue to everything makes black not true black. This is looking bad, kills amoled contrast when normally black pixel are totally blank (because they are not lighting) and in that way will shorten battery life as normally on amoled black parts of the screen are not using any power.

What yellow tint, using that filter your screen is "colder", and like every filter you loose processing power and some colour. You are free to use it, but when you bought the phone, you checked the screen... Right?
Thanks for sharing I didn't notice the tint till I got the nexus 7, the one s screen is yellow compared to it, that edit with your settings fixed that, thanks.

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?

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?
has anyone else noticed this?
Weird Green banding in dark mode and low brightness
Did a factory reset for battery purposes and noticed this... didn't think i saw it before I reset it??

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

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.
