1. the LED light (flash) is a yellow hue instead of daylight-white like every other android device ive ever used (S5 included). Is your light more yellow than other phones? Anyone got an S5 to compare to? I'm curious if I have a defect or if this is for all S6's
2. is there any way to make contacts only show "contacts with phone numbers"? The S5 had this, and my much older LG G2x had this, but I can't find the option in the S6
3. when I have my phones screen off (when charging, etc) I notice when I pick it up i feel it vibrate, like a buttons been pushed on the screen. Nothigns open when i check so at least it's not turning apps on, but obviously this hsouldn't be happening. Anyone else experience this?

My LED on my S6 is a blue colour so far.
ACoolGuy: Did you mean to say soft yellow?
Saruya: Are you talking about the notification led on the front upper left? I'm referring to the flashlight/camera flash LED on back being a soft yellow
can others please chime in on this/
Lol. Im blind now from staring at my flash color... thanks! Mine is as you say. Report too. White... but a soft yellow is noticeable. .. not a super bright white or blue.
Hello everyone, this evening when I play with my s8 plus, i notice that when i swipe from one screen to another, there are "ghosts" goes from top and bottom of the device. The worst it is, when the bringhtness is set to center/low and bluelight sensor is on, ist that normal? I try to make a video and take the screen when I took the password. Phone is after latest update QDD, after I install it, i clear dalvik cache, after that I make factory reset. The phone after the update is little bit slower, and how i remember, befor update the antutu was showing acros 175000, now it is about 172-3000. Where can be problem?
The new video and photo what i take:

What ghosts?
Could you please draw in the picture and Mark the places with the ghosting?
Hello, yesterday I was in Samsung Service center, and they told me, that is normal display functionality. So I was going to the near shop and compare it to another galaxy S8+ and lets see the differences, my display is little bit purple, what i should do, they said I should wait to another update, but last update QDD im currently download and install it and the phone have still a little bit purple colors on some angles. PS: my phone is after QDD update more lagging than before, some ideas what I should do? I made Clear dalvik cache and after that factory reset.
If you are unhappy with a device costing 1k€ then take it back, I certainly would. I am not suggesting you have a lemon but let the retailer see the problem and if you are not satisfied insist on a new mobile. Mine, so far, is fine, zero problems (touch wood). If it misbehaves it will go back as it should.
Let us know how you get on.

Use the red green blue test under *#0*# and check if your problem exists there

I would suggest getting it replaced. However, if you have as much trouble showing them what the issue is as you are us, I doubt they'll swap it. You need to put up some solid color backgrounds and see what it does. The pics you're posting could just be banding in the original image. Not sure what to to tell you.
That's the problem when I try the service code and turn on the red, green, blue screen, everything looks OK. As soon as I go to the main screen or I go to the application menu, and the brightness is set to less than half, the problem is there. This is not a static picture, the "bubble" above moves. When I turn on the blue light sensor, so it's even worse, but if I give more brightness, the problem is not. Also, there is no problem in any application. It would be good to have someone who has s8 plus orchid gray, to check if have the same problem, or at least try setting the orchid gray theme. Anyway, when I compared it with the other s8, the display was more pink, and I did not notice the problem what I have.

I´ve same problem with the "ghost" when i try unlock
Believe me. I cant swe any hosting.
What I see is a dark screen where it should be dark.
I have orchid grey and I can check something for you.
PS. I checked every single picture posted here.
BTW. On yt video the animations are very slow. It looks like you turn on the specific option on the developers setting.

Maybe it is just software, we should wait. But at the night it is really annoying.
Something really weird happened with the shape of the key borders on Gboard, and I can't figure out what caused it. I noticed last week that all of a sudden the key borders on Gboard changed shape. They went from the normal rectangles to circles, which looked much better in my opinion. I really wish I had taken a screenshot so I could show an example. But anyways, all of a sudden the key borders reverted back to rectangles. I can't figure out why this happened. I don't think it's due to substratum, as I tried reapplying a theme to Gboard and nothing changed. Does anyone else have any idea what could have caused this and how I can get the circles back? I did a Google search and I could only find one example of this happening to someone in 2014, and they weren't circles. Anyone have any ideas?
Just wanted to bump this. Anyone have any experience with this?
Yes yes
Still no one else with any thoughts on this?
Gboard key borders randomly changed shape??
Same happened to me too
Same thing happened to me too on my s6 edge device. Even fonts changed to some other weird format
Was it a permanent change or did it randomly revert back?
It just happened again! The keys randomly changed shape, but this time I got proof! Here are the screenshots:
As far as I can remember I haven't changed any settings for the keyboard or anything else recently. They look so much better this way, I hope it stays like this. Anyone have any ideas as to what caused this sudden change?
I really thought people would be more interested in this oddity than they have been...
Me too!
Happens to me as well, mine are completely square right now. They were rounded earlier today. S7 edge.
Im still fascinated by this. Does anyone else have any more input or theories on where this glitch may be coming from?
Happened. How do get the circles to come back?
It happens when I switch battery saving mode on and off. (Galaxy s8)
I have been trying to figure this out myself and consequently landed on this post. Still no solution found. I liked the rounded keys better.
Yesterday however, I noticed that the keys changed shape as per the changes they had to make to accommodate additional bar on the keyboard (e.g. numbers row) or while opening and closing something on screen that forced the keyboard expand or contract.
The smaller the keyboard had to get, the more rounded the keys were. Larger, more square.
May be try changing the size of the keyboard?
Okay, so, very oddly, I have found out that the keys go into the rounded version when the Medium Power saving mode is switched ON (samsung galaxy S9). And back into square shape when power saving is turned OFF. Tried and tested several times.
I fail to understand the logic behind this !
Hello,
First post here, looking for some help.
I just updated my At&T Galaxy Note 8 to Oreo, and with Oreo has come a very strange problem where the color of the screen is very red. It is definitely a software problem, as the correct color balance is there for a couple seconds after booting, then the red comes back. This has lead me to believe it is a problem with the blue light filter being unable to be turned off. The switch is settings is definitely off, and I even tried using Adhell 2 to completely disable it, but have had no luck. I've also revoked the permission to use screen overlays of all my apps that had it and that didn't help either.
If anyone has any ideas how to get my whites back to being white, I'd appreciate it greatly!
I'm having the same problem. Also my notifications aren't showing on any of my apps until I open them. I read something about the blue light application being turned off. I made sure my location is turned on and blue light still is stuck on.

i am having the exact same problem as well. same situation just i have a tmobil phone. i tried to disable the blue light filter with the bk manager to no luck .
my wife who has a note 8 as well has not updated and when compared side by side my phone has the blue light filter stuck on with the minimum opacity. i can still turn on the filter it just makes it even more incredibly red. i sadly do not have any advice to offer and hope there will be a hot fix soon.
To all who are suffering this. Check these settings.
1. Go to Settings/ Device Maintenance/ battery and make sure power saving mode is turned off.
2. Settings/ Display/ Screen Mode and make sure its on the highest setting.
3. This is mostly a diagnostic step but, Turn the blue light filter off, then HOLD the power but to open the power menu then touch AND HOLD power off till it asks for comfirmation to boot into safe mode. Then do it.
If non of that works. A Factory Reset may be needed.
Back your personal stuff up. NEVER back up settings if your having a software issue.
Id turn the blue light filter off first then reset from recovery.
Mine started doing the same thing today and I checked the setting and saw I accidentally turned on scheduling.
First note 8 I bought did this the first day, ended up returning g it for a new phone. Mine had a yellow tint to the screen and there's a million things on Google about it.

I don't know if it's been like this the entire time I've owned the Z Fold 2, but I noticed my screen shifts all the way to the left or right to avoid the hole punch. When I go the full screen apps and try turning off the "hide hole punch" under advanced options, it's already turned off. Switching it on and off again doesn't do anything. The only thing I've done recently was enable Developer Options so I could change the screen width. Can someone please let me know how I can get my apps to fully stretch across the screen and not hide the hole punch?
I have the same issue. There are various options that should fix this, but don't.
* In settings, display, full screen apps, turn on the apps you want to use the full display.
* In the task changer, long press the icon for your app, choose change aspect ratio.
* In good lock, multistar, I <3 Galaxy Foldable, set aspect ratio for each app, set your apps to full screen.
You should try these, one (or multiple) of these options should fix it, but haven't for me.
Only some apps won't go full screen in landscape, but among those are chrome, outlook, kindle, whatsapp. Basically all my most used apps. Other apps use the full screen.
If someone has a working solution, I'd love to hear it.
Thanks! I've tried those options you suggested, however they did not work for me. I feel like I was getting the full screen in the app prior to today, but maybe I'm imagining it. I don't like the way the screen shifts everything over to hide the punch hole. I feel like I may as well kept my Fold 1 with the huge notch because I'm still losing all that space.
So am the only one noticing that all apps are now shifted away from the hole in landscape? The advanced setting to hide the hole is already off and when I turn it on and back off, I can see the screen moving back but then it goes back to hiding the hole even when turned off. Rebooting my phone doesn't fix it.
