[Q] Screen on 2 Skyrockets. One brighter than the other. Normal.

I traded in my first Black Skyrocket for a White Skyrocket a few days ago.. But I have noticed that the screen on my white Skyrocket is not as bright as my black one. And I am sure. I have both of them side by side and both brightness turned all the way up on both. My White skyrocket is a little bit dimmer with a more of a yellowish tint to it. Especially in the web browser like google. With the black one the google page is much whiter looking. You can really see the differnce. Is there something wrong with my White one or is this normal. Other than that the one looks and works great. I think if I did not have the first Skyrocket I would not have noticed it. Also I wih I could set the auto brightness on my home screen and leave it manual on the browser. But it won't let you.

did you check in display settings for the "auto adjust screen power"?
Running custom firmware?
the hardware ought to be identical. no reason to assume otherwise less manufacture date. If it bothers you, id be at att before 30 days is up.

Dolphin browser HD has a plug in available in the market

The auto adjust screen power is unchecked. Its pretty bright. But considering its not the same as my first one, something just doesn't seem right. But other than that it works great. Do I risk a chance for another one, out let out just go? If this was my first skyrocket, I probably wouldn't even know.

I dont know that you would be risking anything by swapping it out so long as the store complies. If its the same again, while both devices are on identical firmware and setttings then you just have yourself a slightly less used skyrocket. if you do that, report back. I'd be very strange if the problem persists and would indicate something is different.

LED flash not bright and yellowish

Hello,
I got my new S6, however, I immediately noticed that the LED flash is not as bright as my old Nexus 4 or event my wife's Note 4. Moreover, it has a yellowish color, not pure white as the rest of the phones.
Is this normal? Should I be worried or even ask for an exchange?
Thank you very much

I don't have an s6 but I'd definitely say that seems very very odd. Not brighter than your nexus 4 is definitely the tipping point.

It's pretty bright but yeah it's yellowish so that the colours are more natural and not ****ty like when you get flash bombed!

Mine's also yellowish, but I believe that's intentional. A warmer flash tends to get more accurate colors in a photo, as opposed to the pure white flash that seems to get faces a little pale. Somewhat like what Apple did with their true-tone flash.
Regarding brightness, I found the actual brightness to be quite satisfying. I come from an S4 and the S6's flash is definitely brighter, so that seems enough for me, although there may be many devices with brighter LEDs. At a distance of about 3-4 meters it is enough to properly light up people in a moderately dim enviroment and still get pretty good pictures.

Definitely looks different than my Galaxy S5.... Yellowish and alot dimmer... But I dont think its a defect

Yeah same here. Coming from N4 and the led is definitely dimmer and yellowish

Thank you everyone for their responses. So my understanding is that the samsung galaxy s6 LED flash has a dimmer and yellowish color, this is considered normal.

Display problem noticed

Hello everyone,
I bought recently Huawei Mate 9 Europe edition (impressive device indeed).
The only issue I noticed is that while scrolling up or down, left and right, the black letters on a white background are getting lighter and thinner. The black color becomes grey or with an yellow touch.
I tried to fix it via settings with changing the color temperature. Setting warm or cold or more red for instance changes only slightly the color tint but not the problem itself.
When I bought the device, the firmware version was MHA-L29C432B126. Yesterday I upgraded the firmware via FunkyHuawei to a version MHA-L29C43B138. Unfortunately the problem wasn't solved.
Yesterday I went to the official store/service of Huawei here in Bulgaria and checked their device, same problem appears. I sent an email to the Huawei support and customer service in Bulgaria and I am curious to know what their opinion would be.
I was wondering if anyone else has noticed the same issue which is very annoying for me.
I hope it is a software problem and not hardware.
I have uploaded an youtube short video showing the problem in my second post.
Happy New Year!
Cheers,
Svetlio

Hi, I don't consider that really a problem although I don't see that on my device. Have you played with rendering options in developer mode?

I found it very annoying. I have few other devices different brands and none of them having that problem.
I haven’t play with developer mode at all.

Is it only in White background and black text?
---------- Post added at 09:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:48 PM ----------
I have the same effect. But i only see this in XDA.

Yes, only on a white background and black letters (and red letters on a white background but less noticeable).
The effect seems most noticeable in XDA but it is appearing in numerous of websites.
I open XDA with my other brand devices and there is no such an annoying effect with them.

This is an IPS panel with slow pixel response times, and the overdrive/overshoot may be poorly set - who knows. Point is, you're seeing ghosting and it is 100% normal for an IPS panel. If you can't stand it, go buy an AMOLED phone. My phone does it too, and so did my V20. My Pixel XL is 100% clear when scrolling anything though, because it's AMOLED as I mentioned, which has like 0.1 ms response times.

Among our family's devices we have 2 with IPS panel ( tablet LG V500 and LG G3). Both don't have that effect.

I don't have this effect on my mate 9,could be they use different panels in mate 9?

I doubt, shouldn't.

Burned in pixels? New issue?

Has anyone heard about this new information?
https://thenextweb.com/gear/2017/05/...#.tnw_Cu3oNtvs
Any opinions on it? Just got my S8 last thursday, and i'm getting kinda scared after these, also turned off AOD, it is changing position but wan't to make it sure that it won't burn in.

Burn in on Amoled screens is simply inevitable, just a matter of time - a very very long time though, if you do the necessary precautions.

I have heard stories of people complaining about this, but I have yet to see a picture of a screen with any burnt in images. I've looked everywhere, until I see a picture/video of a burnt image on an S8 I am going to believe these articles are just click bait.

Interesting, what surprises me most about this though is that the entire bottom edge of the screen looks brighter than the rest of the screen. Not sure why this would happen. If it was caused by a burned in image the lower portion of the device would not be brighter.
My guess is that is a defective screen, looks like the entire bottom 1/4 inch or so is Extra bright. If that is the case is possible if caused the buttons to burn in. Even that it would take some extreme bright settings to really cause that.

That seemed to be burned in from where entire the nav bar sits. I wish they showed the top (status bar burn in as well).
Or people trying to chime in for some fame from the S8's sucess?

One thing I wonder since buying S8 and reading about those stories. Does AMOLED display "burn" temporarily like IPS display do? (apart from aformentioned permanent and over the time burn).

Burn in is inevitable on Amoled screens. But the real life scenario wouldn't occur much. When was the last time you opened a gray app/pic or whatever right after?

I'm confused. on an AMOLED screen, a black nav bar would mean the pixels are not even turned on, so how would something that is not on, get burned in?

In the above picture, IMHO what appears to be burned are actually the pixels that have been turned on for a longer time (the home screen background), and therefore are less brilliant. So you can see that the pixels corresponding to the black navigation bar background are actually more white (i.e. less worn out) than the rest of the home screen.

I spoke about the gray picture to show you this problem, but I see it very often on a lot of different backgrounds. For example, 50% of Samsung's walppapers show this potential burn in. So yes in real life I can see it very very often...

If anything is going to burn in, it'll be your navbar. The AOD changes so much and skips around so often, that it simply cannot burn in, Samsung has made special algorithms to prevent it. A black navbar on apps with a white background is a big issue though, because in that case, the black navbar pixels wear off in a much slower rate than the rest of the screen. This is because the black pixels are only on rarely (home screen to show the wallpaper basically), while the rest of the screen above them shows white

The navbar doesn't burn in, the rest of the screen does. The black navbar doesn't "age" in the same pace with the rest of the screen due to the pixels being off all the time, and differs in color because of this. The color difference makes it look like the navbar has burned in, when in fact the rest of the display has "aged", and the navbar not

Black isn't bad, it's good for battery saving, and doesn't actually damage or burn in your display. The bad thing about black is when it sits in a certain place for a long time, while the rest of the display is white. Black parts don't "age" while white parts do, this is why you generally want to have the same color on the entire panel, good example is how the status bar changes color when switching apps. This color switching fixes a problem that older AMOLED-display devices like the Galaxy S3 used to have, the status bar was always black, and "aged" more slowly than the rest of the screen, over time creating a stripe at the top that shows on fullscreen apps
There's no reason to change a black theme, unless half of the screen is white and half of it black, if the theme is black in general there is no harm done

The theme I use has a black nav bar all the time, I have opened a bright white and a grey image on full brightness multiple times never seen any burn in. I put my phone and its screen on time + brightness through a pretty brutal day every day. I use it almost solely to do my job so I average about 5 hours of SOT and often at or near the brightest setting for the screen. Have yet to see a single issue.
Since it is not wide spread it makes me wonder if there is a certain feature/Theme/setting being used that is causing the issue.
Is there anyone in this thread who has had the issue? Are you using the phone on the highest brightness, or on the highest definition? What about using a theme?
Just wondering if we get some information for anyone who has seen the issue if we could figure out what is causing it.
---------- Post added at 09:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 PM ----------
So just in case everyone is still not following this story the burn in on all of the phones was only temporary. Most of the Reddit posts have pulled their pictures and edited their posts. Only one dude still has not changed his, my guess is he just is enjoying the fame. I really wish journalistic integrity was still a thing. A few trolls on Reddit set off a huge bunch of worry warts and their was never any issue with the screens.

It's actually the rest of the screen that is burned out. The navbar isn't powered while black, so it doesn't deteriorate as quickly as the rest of the screen. The navbar looks out of place, but it's actually the best condition portion of the display.
The cause is the deterioration of the pixels, typically starting with the blue ones. I'd guess that enabling thr blue light filter would lengthen the lifespan of the display, at the cost of mimicking the effect of the burn out.
Edit: more content appeared since I first read this. I'm just repeating everyone now.

Well, that's true, and I think 70-80% of the galaxy s8 will have this problem. To "solve" it, I've just entered an adb command so that my phone is always in full screen mode. I have now more screen and I don't need to be worry about burn in.

The whole burn in issue has been blown way out of proportion. Dont be scared by it. This technology has been used for years. How many S7, S6, S5, S4 devices do you see still being used that have perfect screens with no burn in? LOTS!
Use your phone how it is intended to be used. Don't disable things because you read something on the internet. On a crappy website at that. Believe it or not, not everything you read on the internet is true

S8+ notification bar burn in/color shift

So after using the phone for a week, I can see a faint line in the top of the screen which I find quite weird since I haven't used the phone at max brightness nor had any static images for long periods of time. I'd just like to know if this is something other people have experienced with their devices? There's also a slight green hue with white screen which is absent at the bottom of the screen. I only noticed it because of a black wallpaper that showed that there's actually a constant notification bar in the launcher screen.

Ok so you assume that this definitely is a defect? Too bad.. it's really really faint, but since I've seen it, it's always there. The home button from AOD is the most notable, varying by the brightness.

Is it burn in or ghosting?
If you are unsure about if your display is burning in or showing ghosting or both, use a full screen gallery app like QuickPic. Get a gray image and view it. With ghosting you will immediately see the navigation buttons but they will fade (scroll about to a few other images to help it fade), if they don't fade, well the display is probably burning in. You can easily download the checkerboard pattern with a google search.

Thanks for your reply, I also have a suspicion that it might be due to the fact that I used navbar to make the navigation bar entirely black, making the navigation bar "not to burn in" so to say. I disabled that and will see if this has any effect. I also disabled the home button on AOD. If it is burn in it is extremely light still, and only visible with gray backgrounds. I have a feeling that it might be fading away, or my eyes are just starting to give up fingers-crossed, the latter probably the better since I hate to be this nitpicky.. :silly:

Also I haven't read about anyone else suffering from this green tint/hue at the top of the screen. It's not so prominent when I lower the green values or when the screen is dimmer. It's this green stripe that sort of leaves this completely white gap between the bezel. Not very easy to explain but it is easy to distinguish with white backgrounds. It almost looks as if the panel isn't aligned properly and a line of pixels is "out of bounds". Weird if I'm really the only one with this symptom..

It's because that Samsung S8 and S8+, have problems with some wallpapers. I get a faint status bar on for examples some wallpapers, because of their aspect ratio. So if it's that, try out the inbuilt wallpapers as they don't get this problem. Don't get a flip, if it's not that you ment!
Try and take a screenshot. Just say Hi Bixby, take a screenshot.

I wish it was, though the green hue is noticable on completely white and grey backgrounds. I did notice what you mean though when I used a black wallpaper that had this weird bar at the top.

I get that too on some black wallpapers, but if i use a builtin black theme the strange oversaturated dark bar disappears.. and when I take screenshots the bar stays on the screenshot.. so it's not the screen having prob..

if you zoom in on the left part you will notice a slight over saturated bar.. but on the original wallpaper there isn't.. it only comes out when I use wallpapers that are not built in on the theme.

Ok so now I stumbled across this thread on reddit https://www.google.fi/amp/s/amp.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS8/comments/682xmo/my_screen_is_a_little_uneven/
I have a strong feeling I'm experiencing the same problem, though at the top there is this white line that goes through the green area just below the green line at the top. Don't know if this splotchiness is a completely different issue..

Update on my situation, I sent the phone to service center through my provider. We'll see if they see what I see. It feels so bad to be away from my Samsung.. I hope they treat it well. Will update once I get updated.

I'm quite surprised but today I got an update on my situation. They swapped the screen and battery so my concerns seem to have been justifiable. I'm sorry that I couldn't replicate or get a picture of my problem.

Now received the phone, new problem arose. The so called "light bleed" that many have been complaining about, but for me it's literally everywhere. It's in the receiver, in all corners and all sides. Damn, such a shame to be sending my phone to service all the time.. Guess I won't be touching any curved screens anymore.
Edit, And to all those who say the light bleed is normal, I didn't have it before the service so I am certain it is a defect or misalignment of the screen.

Got my phone back from the service today. They said that the light bleed is normal and should be expected with "edge" screens. Yet as a precaution they swapped the screen again. Now I have to deliberately look to find the same problem, so on that behalf problem solved. What they didn't manage to fix is the uneven greens. The screen is quite uneven from top to bottom. Darker at the bottom, lighter at top. Really don't want to send this fixed again so I'm pretty sure I just try to live with it and see if it really bothers me with my normal usage, videos etc. I do know that this issue is really common with amoleds (speaking from experience.)

Um... That's exactly why it happened. You need to understand what "burn in" is. It's not burning at all. Simply that amoled pixels lose brightness and color the more time they are used. That's all. So if you have a status bar as black, it will not be losing its brightness but the rest of your screen will. So basically you burned in your screen. Really the screen is always burning in, the key is to make it burn in uniformly. That's why leaving AOD on without it moving would burn the time in, because the lit pixels are decaying while the rest of the screen isnt
