Different Screens in newer models?

So I RMA'd and Google sent me a new Nexus 5 from the new "311k" batch. My original Nexus 5 is a "launch" version of the "310k" batch...
I turn my phone on and I immediately see a yellow/brownish tint to the new one they sent me (311k). Now, is this something that's permanent or will it get better with more use of the phone? My original Nexus 5 has bright whites with no beige tint to them...
I took some pics with an S3, the differences in pictures seem minor...in person it's literally night and day. Especially when using an app like hangouts...I'm sure if I had a better camera it'd pick it up.

I am not. I searched google and it seems to be an issue some people are having...but like I said it's odd to me because it's such a drastic difference and you can notice it everywhere on the phone.
You can't even say the whites are "white"

That's really interesting. There is a way to find it what type of screen out has with a terminal command. It's in a screen thread here somewhere. It would be good to know exactly what screens both the phones have. I noticed when I got my phone it had a brownish, reddish tint and flashing a custom kernel gave me amazing colors.

I know kernels can change the colors but why would it be different if it were a software issue? I know the 311k didn't have to download an update as the 310k's did when you turn on the phone.

My 310 straight from Google, out the box did not update anything. I think I got the second batch since I received it November 15.

Just wondering why you didn't use the same screen shot on both? Not trying to say anything, just struck me as odd.

You do know that the Nexus 5 wording is the screen protector when you get them brand new..

Well its only there to protect the screen during transit. Have you compared them without it on? It is possible it causes a slight tint to the screen?

As much as I know, yellow tint is normal with new screens. It goes away after some days of usage.

Firstly 311 just indicates 2013 month 11 (November) production date and 310 was month 10 - its not a build standard despite what many seem to be thinking. If something in production changes one day then you'll need the whole serial number to know if it's before or after a change.
My first was November production (311) and it came pre-loaded with Kit Kat - but it had a serious screen defect (colour banding and distortions) and was replaced by another November (311). I would say the second does have warmer whites but as it all works as designed I'm happy.

Same thing happened to me on my replacement. The first one seemed super white (along with some dead pixels) and the new one has a warmer (yellower) tone to it. At first I thought the same thing, is this a defect. And then I thought either way I like a warmer tone on a screen. The brighter one almost hurt my eyes actually.. Since I've been using the new screen for a while I think it may have brightened up some, but I don't have my defective N5 to compare it to. I guess my point is that I don't think it is defective. I think it is an improvement over the first one. Especially since I don't have any dead pixels and my vibrator motor is stronger too.

Just got mine 3 days ago and has the warmer looking screen. I do prefer the cooler screens like my N4 had but will live with it since there are no dead pixels or other issues people have reported.

Wanted to update this thread...
So I got a replacement for the 2nd phone which had a yellow hue...but then when I got the 3rd phone and compared the screens, the yellow hue on the 2nd phone had gone away and the 3rd had the yellow hue.
So in my conclusion, it takes a few days - a week for the screen to break in.

Yellow-ish tint on note pro 12.2

I bought 3 note pros, 2 were bought as soon as it was released here in Canada for my father and girl friend, and another one just few days ago for my self.
then i found out as soon as turned the new one on, the white color produced by later wasn't quite white compare to the ones i bought several month ago. and maximum brightness wasn't as bright as the first two as well.
so i decided to exchange, went to the future shop with my girlfriend's tablet to show the difference in white color and brightness. I opened up a new box right in front of customer service and guess what it has same problem. I asked for another set and the technician refused to do so saying there's nothing wrong with the unit. so i took my girlfriend's tablet out and show him how bad the screen is compared to old tablet and told him me being picky with 800 dollar tablet's screen is normal, he could not say a thing and opened up another box telling me he would not open up another one anymore because "company cannot make any money selling openbox item" which i think is DEFECTIVE UNIT rather than open box. He said he will do return if i am still not satisfied. (Can they really do that? seriously? now i am thinking i might complain this matter to head now..)
anyway the new one had the same problem, so i had to return the unit that they will not exchange anymore regardless... and went to best buy across the street and the first unit i opened was same thing again so i just kept it assuming Samsung might have changed the panel or something.
my point is.. LCD panels used in later batch of note pros might be differ from the first batch and it is really bad compare to the first batch.. or i am just being super picky.....
i will take a picture later tonight to show you guys as well.
is anyone having similar problem with recently purchased unit?

Are the screen modes all set the same across all three devices? (Referring to Settings--> Device--> Display--> Screen Mode, also check Reading Mode is off).

Yes thats the first thing i did. Ser brightness to max, reading mode off and tried 3 different modes one at a time.

Odd. Ironically there were early complaints that the display doesn't do yellows well lol.

Here's a comparison between my 12.2 and my Nexus 10.

I have the same exact problem. The yellow and green have 'black dots'. It looks awful! Is there any solution?

wheres the line

i see all these people on here saying theyre going to return or exchange their S6. i have a note 4 and it prbly has half the things theyre returning their S6 for, honestly i never bothered to check. my note 4 does have bad lag, that other ppl suppousedly dnt have, but i missed my return date waiting for a patch/upgrade to fix my lag.
i totally understand paying $600+ on a phone and wanting a good working phone but as a samsung fan whos gotten flawed phone after flawed phone ive accepted the fact that im never going to get a perfect phone. so my question is where do you all draw the limit? or are u wanting that perfect phone.
list of the flawed sammys
S3: found out it couldnt read memory cards after return date (got a refurb s3 that could read memory cards)
s5: antenna problems (started having rly slow internet)
note 4: phone lags badly.

I think people just want a phone that doesn't arrived to their door already scratched, or with a 24 hour led light on, or in my case, a charger that doesn't charge the phone out of the box.

Have a reorder processing as we speak. Software issues are absolutely nuts (auto brightness turning on/off on its own, Samsung keyboard keeps reactivating, MMS not working, etc) and there's something VERY wrong when I can reboot the phone, turn on *only* Google Maps and Pandora, and the phone runs out of memory, closing Pandora down. I mean, what the ****, Samsung?
I doubt the new phone will fix these issues, and I think I'm just going back to my Nexus 5.

It will, those issues are not normal. My phone shows none of those.
However, I have a scratch under the top bezel of my glass and the Always on LED on the flash so I am going to get a replacement.

can somebody upload a pic of the always on led?

Yeah, if my replacement device shows up tonight and has ANY defect, this is just going to be a straight return, and I'll wait for another model. I mean, I am a Samsung avoider usually. I tend to not like how they do business, how they advertise, the products they put out... The S6 looked THAT good to me, that I would put my history with them behind. If I get 2 defective phones in a row (and I mean this new one needs to be PERFECT) it's going right back and I'll wait for the '15 Moto X or something. Maybe the G4.

The good news is, there were no defects. The bad news is because there was no phone. It was on the UPS truck to be delivered on the 8th, and returned to the depot around 12AM. It never left the depot on the 9th, even though UPS swore up and down that it was out for delivery. Contacted T-Mobile, they contacted UPS, confirmed it was lost. Now, here's the kicker: T-Mobile left me a voicemail saying *I* had to file a claim with UPS to make things right. Called them right the **** back and told them it wasn't my responsibility. They're shipping another out tomorrow. Who knows when I'll get it?

Night Mode Differences

I recently received a replacement pixel after breaking my screen through insurance. The replacement was a refurb and I set it up using the device transfer. The only issue I have with the replacement is the "Night Light" is too amber. There is a dramatic difference between Night Light on my old Pixel vs replacement Pixel. From what I can tell, Night Light relies on hardware.
Night Light uses a new hardware composer interface to do color transforms on the display hardware rather than using a GL Shader, which unfortunately means it requires driver support that is not present on Nexus devices.

With an hour or so of searching, I haven't found any other reports of this. Is it possible the replacement is defective? Has anyone else heard of this? Android is up to date.
See attachment for a picture of a side by side comparison between the two. Adaptive brightness is off and brightness level roughly the same for both. Both displays are much more amber than the picture shows, but it does show the difference between the two.

What is wrong? On the right side night mode isn't active. It's set to sunrise but it's not triggered.

It is activated. It's not obvious in the picture because the amber is more subtle on the phone on the right side.
To confirm that the night light on the right looks correct, I have compared with a coworker's Pixel XL.

There might be hardware involved but it is effected by software too. I changed mine to blue.

It involves modding your services.jar. I probably have a stock one you could flash if you are rooted. Or blue.
Or if you are familiar with editing jars I can show you where the editing takes place.

I know how to edit Jars, but I have not rooted this phone, and would prefer not to. I assume sudo is required? I actually don't want blue, but simply a less aggressive amber/orange.

I think root is required. You might try doing a factory reset or flashing a stock system image.

My phone is doing the same exact thing. They said they're sending me a replacement. This is the third replacement by the way. First was a camera unable to focus, then it was a microphone problem , now it's the screen .. I'm losing trust with this product

A phone replacement resolved this issue for me. Unfortunately it took two more replacements after this to get which had no other issues.

I just received my 4th replacement. This one has an orange screen and not as bright as my other 3 Pixels. I guess I need a 5th replacement. This is really making me really angry.

I had this issue with many replacements. My original was the only one to not have the deep orange look. But I had other issues with that device.
I got tired of sending for replacements so I just said forget it, I won't use night light.
I'm running O DP4 now and there is an intensity slider on the night light options which I've finally settled for. You can make it as intense as you want.

Agreed. The simplicity of the design and the combination of the red colour with the black front easily makes it a stunning device. Total value for money. I don't get how other OEMs can justify selling their devices for £800+
Great pics BTW it shows off the beauty of the OP6 Red ??

Loving this case by Mofi, compliments the red nicely ......although I do like to go naked sometimes
