I'm struggling with this and am about to return phone. I run a solid black wallpaper on lock screen and home screen and have for years on many different devices. I've never seen the behavior in the pics. The screen is either turning on a shade gradient of some kind or I have massive light bleed.
First pic is lock screen with notifications themed black with substratum.
Second and third pics after reset and before theming, just black wallpaper, and swiping up to unlock. Nearly entire screen lighting up as I swipe, then goes back to solid black as I enter home screen.
Fourth pic home screen with notification shade pulled down with themed black notifications, notice light bleed below solid black shade?
Is anybody else seeing this? Reaching out on XDA because we are here are more likely to tweak and mod our devices, right?

Light bleed comes from screens that are backlit by an LCD . The onep6 uses an AMOLED screen, which does not use a backlight. Instead each pixel (of the screen) produces it's own light. Therefore, there can be no light bleed.
must just be a dud screen

Yup, been using AMOLED for years and had 1+3/5/5t, also Nexus, Pixel and Samsung OLED panels and have never seen this screen behaviour. If it's a dud it's an epic failure of a dud!!
I've read that Android 8.1 introduces a screen gradient on lock screen and home screen while swiping to unlock and to bring down noti shade. Doesn't explain the static lock screen pic #1 tho.

there was another guy with simlar problems other day but if it was me i would rma it as its not a wide spread thing by looks of it
Already submitted a return ticket, just trying to decide if I want to give it another shot and reorder a second 6. Oneplus doesn't pay return shipping so I'm on the hook for that. Don't want to try and exchange either, sounds like it could turn into a nightmare easily.

There is a very slight grey to black gradient visible in the lock screen and a similar overlay when you pull down the notifications tab. This is by design.
I suspect your screen is fine, but perhaps someone else can verify?
You're acting like someone ran an M1 Abrams over your first born child... it's a phone dude relax. Your life isn't over because your screen isn't pitch black 24/7.
Pixels turning fully off (or not) on AMOLED is a firmware issue that they can fix in software updates, try a support ticket and it'll probably appear in a future update.

This this this this this.
Stupid 8.1 Oreo change that google made to AOSP as well as it's own Pixel ROM. They made the whole notification shade shadow thing as ugly as possible, and the lock screen ghastly hues of whatever background you have, which will all be fixed in Android P.
OP "light bleed" looks exactly like this shadow, as he is using a black backround like me. There is no way to remove this nasty effect that is built into Android sadly. The only thing you can do is either pretend it doesn't exist or get a lighter background.
If you REALLY want to be anal/OCD about checking your screen, open Chrome without any tabs, and use that grey it has to detect abnormal brightness shifts.
Bear in mind that any severe brightness change will be visible on any normal white screen too, usually what people acknowledge as a pink/green hue on one or more sides of the screen.
If you end up hating everything because of it, I feel you, I was there at one point too. Then I decided to do something with my life beyond staring at a phone screen all day.
Failing that, avoid all AMOLED screens, as they will all have an uneven brightness under specific un-natural conditions.
The OP6 actually has a very good AMOLED panel, and the recent XDA analysis confirms this. It absolutely destroys the QHD panel used by the Pixel 2 XL and its little brother. Infact I prefer it to my old iPhone X screen simply due to the better viewing angles. Only the S9/Note 8 beat it imo, but you really can't complain at this price.

Here's the obligatory "you're over reacting dude!" comment, thanks. Just trying to figure out if it's my black background and 8.1 gradient or the $600 phone is defective, please read my OP again and imagine I'm actually not freaking out because I'm not. It's a great time to be an Android fan, so many phones to choose from. Just want one that works for me which is the whole point of Android and XDA

Yep I suspect (I don't know for certain obviously ) that it is oreo doing some weird colour gradient stuff.
Try setting e.g. a blue background with other colours on it. Then look at it from the lock screen - you will see the entire photo has got a blue tint from it. Similarly, on your homescreen if you pull down the notification shade, the whole screen below the shade will get a blue tint.
That looks like exactly the same symptoms you have (except yours is like a grey tint on a black background).
Also try turning on the lift up display in ambient display. Then lock your screen so the screen is off and lift up your phone so the ambient display is activated and see whether there is any light bleed then

Strangely enough, the Pixel 2 is incapable of displaying darker shades of grey, it simply renders them as black, so that may be why?
My 2XL has this gradient on normal brightness levels but not in a dark room. Both the 2 and 2XL struggle equally with dark greys.

Samsung was so kind and sent me an Infuse 4G to help me developing for it. Thanks Samsung Mobile Korea
Infuse use a beautiful huge 4.5" Super AMOLED Plus screen.. But its driven with Galaxy S screen settings
DROID Charge is very similar to the Infuse 4G, except the display is a tad smaller. Super AMOLED Plus screen is also optimized for non "Plus" aka Pentile matrix.
That's why by default everything is over-sharpened and colors over-saturated.
I added preliminary support today for much more faithful screen settings in my one of my in-dev apps "Voodoo Screen Tuning", available for free on Android Market.
This app is very much experimental and not a final product. See it as an internal leak from a R&D lab. But as Linus tells: publish often, publish early
Please take a look at the app description, and have fun testing this app!
I need your feedback, so.. see you soon.
Installed, I see there are two options, native and samsung. I assume native is to return to stock and samsung are to switch to the optimized settings? I got superuser request and approved after hitting the samsung button. Didn't notice anything immediately so I rebooted to see if that would make a difference.
Don't know or can't tell if there is a difference.
Any way to tell? Good news is it didn't crash on the charge.
Native is screen without sharpening or color boosting.
Samsung is.. Samsung default.
I don't own a Charge for tests so.. only you can tell me
I installed and swapped between the two. I couldn't tell any difference.
I am on a voodoo kernel so I wonder if that makes a difference...
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App
The Native setting is *much* sharper than the Samsung setting.
Very nice.
I don't see any immediate changes in the look of the screen, nothing changes (or it's so slight as to be unnoticable, and I do have pretty good vision) when looking at a high res picture with the overlay on and cycling back and forth.
But it is doing something, the button backlighting turns off and turns back on, but only when pressing the native button. Or maybe I'm seeing things from staring at my phone for the last 10 minutes like a jeweler setting a diamond or something.
Edit: It is sharper on native, very small text is more defined. Cool.

Same here. Not really sure which I prefer, native looks a lot sharper but samsung looks a lot smoother due to the blurring effect.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using Tapatalk
Samsung setting is over-sharpened, which means it should "look" sharper, but all it does for real is exhibiting a ton of artifacts.
I guess it's why you find "native" sharper, because it just display accurately pixels as they're supposed to be
− apply sharpening general UI elements and text really makes no sense to me, so it's not the case anymore.
Also: note that if your eyes are accustomed to an artificially sharpened image, the normal one looks blurry for a few seconds in comparison.
But that's just an optical illusion.
Does the setting stick across reboots, or does it have to be reset every time?
Prior to tweaking the settings, I changed my wallpaper to one I had on my Droid X, but was forced to change from because of how bad the colors looked on the Charge. It's took a few swaps back and forth, but I was quickly able to see the difference.
If anything, native appears oversharpened. I can even see a bit of a grid on my solid green background. Text under native, to me, is reminiscent of my old fascinate which obviously had a pentile matrix but that might just be the roboto font I'm using.
Edit: okay I take back that bit about it looking oversharpened. Just took a little getting used to when looking at text but DAMN there is quite a noticeable improvement in picture clarity. Thanks a lot.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using Tapatalk
Just put the screen in overlay and swapped between the options. The OP is correct, the difference hurts your eyes for just a few seconds, but once you go to "Native" you will never go back to "Samsung." The change is VERY noticeable on your home screen app icons.
Native:
Edges are sharper and lines are cleaner. Text appears slightly crisper and loses the perimeter fuzz that I thought was light bleeding before.
Samsung:
The text is a little "better on the eyes" but at the same time it isn't as clear as in the other mode. Lines and text have a very very slight bleed to them.
As a side note, No color changes are experienced. This goes along with the OP's previous comment. The change is simply making the pixels on the screen display more accurately not making the colors display differently.
That's my review. I also noticed that I wanted to keep my phone at a a higher brightness to really enjoy the screen experience.

Correct. I did not mean to indicate that the color gamut was changed, but my old wallpaper definitely looks better.
+1
Native “looks" better on high Res photos.
Samsung makes text almost looked bold.
Proof: try the overlay option and open xda on your phone/Google and find a high Res picture, then just switch back and forth. You'll be able to tell the difference easily.

i recently got the samsung galaxy note 10.1 and after seeing how BAD the screen actually is i realized i cannot stand a bad black level i plan on selling this and buying a asus padfone 2
now my question is how good is the black level on a padfone 2 is it perfect black or is it as terribly bad as the note 10.1? as i am not sure if i want to go through that again
i have read that lcd technology can't show good black only SUPER AMO LED + does but amoled is also extremely over saturated i remember when i saw a galaxy note for the first time the colors were terrible
from my understanding it uses a technology called Super IPS + 2 or something
i figured the one x would use the same technology so i googled it and checked if it had good black according to reviews it has bad black
so back to my question is the padfone 2 able to show perfect black with no bleeding from either light or colors? (i have seen a iphone 4s and that has bad backlight bleeding)
as the black the note 10.1 shows is unacceptable it makes live wallpapers with a hint of black impossible ot enjoy the colors seem to melt in with the black and then theres that low resolution
side question what color is the padfone 2? i have seen it in so many different colors
one picture shows it very perfect black (perfect color in my opinion)
one picture shows it dark grey
another picture shows it glittery light grey (the grey that made me pass on the padfone 1)
The black its a nicely black and when I turn off the display its a real black.

so if a moving object is showing on a black screen there will be absolutely no color bleed and no light bleed?
is it as good as super amo led then?

No.
No LCD display of any sort will be as good as SuperAMOLED when it comes to reproducing blacks; the technology is entirely different.
If you want perfect black, go SuperAMOLED. If you want perfect colour, go LCD.

well i don't know then i guess i should cancel my order and i guess i am so picky that i will never find a phone i actually like
yesterday i saw a youtube video and i thought it looked off with the bottom bezel being so much bigger then the top which then resulted in me not wanting the phone at all
so i told myself if it won't get deliverd on promised date being january 2nd i would cancel it
i guess phones are simply not for me
then again a remake of the sony ericsson p910i with android and with the same de attachable keyboard would probably be my ideal phone

i wonder if i will ever find a phone i would be happy with
so the black level is not good i would be able to see light in the black including bleeding of colors?
oh well i guess phones aren't for me
the black level on the note 10.1 was un acceptable and terrible if thats the kind of black level i would get on the padfone 2 then i would stay away

So basically you think that LCDs are unacceptable? If i was you i would just stop being weird, or just stay away from everything LCD based like IPS/TFT. Can you watch TV or you just find it terrible too?

i use crt monitors i am currently using a dell p1130 and i have 3 sony gdm fw900's
and yes i find all tvs terrible atleast all the ones i have seen
Like almost everyone, I had to wait 3 weeks for my moto g to come in, and when it finally did...one week later I had to send it back for repair. :/
The screen was really bad in certain areas, mainly the top 1/2 inch all the way across and the bottom left corner, about a thumb size portion of the screen. When ever I would view a picture in FB or IG, watch a movie or pictures from my gallery, if there was a bright spot "bright white" in particular, it would display yellow pixels or lines in just that area.
It had no problem rendering colors, just bright white. Like a light bulb, sky, snow things like that in any sort of media, pics, videos or apps. I used the screen overlay in the developers option to show the areas that have problems with rendering and sure enough the areas I mentioned before show up with an overlay of red to show that those parts of the screen do indeed have problems.
I don't know how this problem passed quality control. Maybe because they where so backed up with orders, they wanted to get them out asap. I dont know, but now im out a phone for at least a week maybe more.
thankfully they paid for shipping both ways. lets just hope they dont send my phone back saying there is nothing wrong with it. Just thought I'd share my story in case anyone else had the same problem. Thanxs.

I've seen this problem on 3 MotoGs'. The lower left corner brightness can be slightly fixed by unscrewing a little the corresponding screw inside the case. Apparently not all people notice this. And another problem, the earspeaker is buzzing on high volume when the other party is talking, to a certain degree, on all units I've checked.

The phenomenon of death often arise during use, due to component quality has decreased over time. In theory, could not overcome, or limit the phenomenon of dead spots appear on the screen. However, in many cases you can restore the dead center for a massage by screen. How do fairly simple, you need to remove the cover, protective glass screen that can be exposed directly to the screen. Now, remember the dead pixel position, then turn off the phone. Use your fingers lightly rubbing the area dead center, then press and hold the power on the phone. Wait for the screen to light up and slowly drop your finger off the screen. Make a couple of times so constantly, that pixel can be recovered.

This is the same problem I have. I've returned one unit back to the seller and now I have this on the new one they've sent as a replacement. As if some shade of white has a problem and then turns into yellow. Also some icons (e.g blue google icon) display a green line over them (blue and yellow mix?) i You will notice this the best when there is a lot of black color on the display (e.g. applications menu). Try swiping the application menu pages slowly and see how this yellowness comes and goes. I'm giving up on Moto G because of this.
Just send that one back as well. Don't blame the phone as a whole because you got unlucky twice. My friend had to send his back too and they just gave him a new one.

I'm not blaming the phone. I still think it's a great deal. But two times is enough for me to realize that less money means less quality. They obviously didn't reduce the price by kicking out the charger and the earphones.

That's fair enough. I still disagree but I see your point.

I had the same problem with my first device, but so far so good on the second one.
In india they are shipping it with charger nd headphones...makes you wonder hmm
So I found out that my Moto G had the same issue. I didn't do anything about it, I thought it was a software bug. But when the same bug was on CM, I realized it's my device. It got pretty frustrating to see all these yellow spots on perfectly white displays. The good news is that I managed to fix it.
In case anyone else has this same problem, I recommend that you send it back if possible. If not, here's a solution that worked for me
1. Install this : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.haxor
2. Set it to 80%
There will be absolutely no more of these annoying yellow patches anymore. I guarantee it.
I, too, have seen this issue. In the brightest highlights of white, yellow replaces white. My best guess is that this is a sign of a failing GPU or video memory. It is either a hardware issue or a very low-level software issue. It is definitely not the normal behavior for the Moto G. The workaround by Vedarshi will allow you not to see the yellow, but also lowers the maximum brightness available to you, so it is not a true solution. For those who have seen this problem, has it always been on receipt of the devices or has this shown up over time for anyone?
It's been there from day 1. I personally do not feel that my screen looks dim. It is still readable, even in sunlight.
Me too have the same prob.

Hello guys , i too have to the same issue, right from the 1st day. today i received the fone and heres the stuff. The phone has some problem with the shades of white. and it appears Yellow while swiping. heres some screen shots of my Moto G.
Have a look at some of the White Pics with the yellow color effect. !!
I'm sorry but, why complain on here? Send it back to your retailer. They have to either offer to repair..( iwouldnt personally go for a repair job with screens cause it can be 10000 things causing it and replacing the screen and digilizer might not work) or replace...
I Have similar issue
With any white or brightly coloured aspect of the screen, I always see blue lines go from the brightly coloured shape and up to the top of the screen if I have my keyboard open for example (android lollipop or google keyboard with material light skin) it would leave one big line up the screen giving it a blueish haze, the for a clock on my homescreen, there are blue lines that come off the top to the top of the screen. This also occurs in the boot animation, the whole screen is left with a blue haze. Maybe this is something to do with Motorola making a budget device and so they give it a display that is easily damaged by its own brightness? Maybe? I don't know. Are there any known fixes for this?
Thanks

That's all great getting a replacement unit but this seems to be a very common issue, therefore, there is a high chance that the new one will have the same issue. Also, everyone is posting here because we wish to know how widespread the issue is, which is now apparant and if anyone knows of a reason or potential fix for the issue. Hope that cleared things up for you
Hello fellow XDA people.
I recently acquired a second Honor 9 unit which is the Midnight Black. My first one is a Blue. There seem to be a few hardware differences between these two units. First of all is the screen and I seriously doubt they are made by the same manufacturer because of their obvious differences. The main difference is the viewing angles that differs hugely. My blue unit has really amazing viewing angles for being an LCD while the black unit loses a lot of its brightness very quickly and looks way more dull from an angle. Also the white balance differ a lot between the two the blue one has a more blur/green shift to it while the black untit has a much more warm and "fuller" white balance to it. It's impossible to calibrate them to look the same they are just different. The blue units screen look somewhat duller in comparison even though it wins easily in viewing angles. The black unit has more contrast and just generally looks more "lifelike" and warmer. It's also the most even screen I have ever seen in terms of uniformity (not that the blue one is bad). The glas front also has a different "texture" across the screen. On the blue I can really only see the digitizer marks but on the black I have this other small faint "sparkling dots" effect that some screen protectors can give at times. Nothing serious but it's there and the glas on the blue unit looks a little clearer.
The second difference is the fingerprint reader. It's waay faster on the blue unit while it's much much slower on the black one when I compare. One the blue it's instant I can't even make it fault even if I try to tap very fast. The one on the black unit has this delay and it's clearly not as fast to read my finger. The black unit also has a small delay when pressing it to go back to the homescreen while it does it instantly on the blue one which makes it feels faster in operation.
Both has touch screen issues and both run B130 firmware. The black one unfortunately shipped with B130. However there are differences here too the black one has more severe touch problems than the blue. The touch is seriously borked on the black one with both delays and lags and it's harder to use because of this. To the border of unusable really. Something must be seriously wrong with the software that makes the touch go bonkers I doubt I have hardware fault with both of them that makes them behave a little differently. Guessing this is mainly why updates have been pulled by Huawei.

Return the black one and ask for a replacement immediately
For sure this is a prove that they use different factorys for screens but this is not a news because many brands to this ( xiaomi is the first I could mention ), to me this is a case of bad or not perfect gluing of digitizer on the black one. Was a different font used between the two too or?

In fact I prefer the display on the black one it looks much better so I don't want to get rid of it specially not when I have gotten such a perfect screen regarding uniformity I never get very lucky with this historically. I will wait for software update and see if it fixes things in the end they both have the same problem that I haven't seen on any of the 4 units I have tested in store with B100.

It feels like it's software issue how the touch behaves really and not hardware. Both has same problem with delay when I scroll but it differs some between the two in feeling. Will wait for software update.

It's not really lag. It's some thing were it takes the screen a few millimeters of swiping before content starts moving. Taps and such are instant while typing on keyoard so the digitizer doesn't lag in itself. We are many with this problem and for most the issue apperared after updating to B130 while it was fine on B100.

As well as B120. They must have problems with the updates and their reasons for pulling them.

Yes, as lots of users were complaining about it.
What makes me wonder is, why they didn't provide a rollback package to b100?!

I definitely have a little better battery life on the black one. It just seems more energy efficient. Perhaps the screen is more power efficient than the other variant I don't know. But something it is as I feel it has about 10-20% better battery life than the blue unit.
Also, today out of nowhere the delay went away when pressing the fingerprint reader to go back to the homescreen. It's just instant on the black unit now too. Didn't change a thing which seems weird. Oh well I don't complain.

So which one is better in your opinion
-screen
-battery
-etc...

-Screen: definitely the black unit. It has way better contrast and much better whites. The screen just "pops" more on the black. The screen on the blue looks a bit dull in comparison. However the viewing angles on the blue are much much better. Don't really care though because it's me who's gonna use the unit and not someone beside me.
-Battery: the black one seems to have some kind of advantage. The same usage that gives me 5 hour SOT on the blue gives me around 6 hours on the black. I'm guessing the display is a little more power efficient perhaps.
-Fingerprint reader: the one on the blue is much faster to read my fingers. It definitely wins this one.
Besides those points I have not really noticed anything more that seems to differ.
Hello guys,
I am coming from HTC 10 and just bought a Huawei P20.
Unfortunately I am not fully satisfied because of the screen. Even with highest brightness set, the bottom of the screen seems to have a yellow tint..
It is noticeable on app with white background (for example Gmail).
I tried changing the white balance in settings, but the display is not homogeneous, and still has a yellow tint at the bottom / or maybe a lower brightness.
This is rather poor with respect to the price in Europe (650 euros)
Does any owner notice the same issue ?
Thank you for your feedback.

Yes this is exactly what I am getting on my device and I am thinking of changing under 30 days policy, I bought from 1st day of release from Carphonewarehouse UK , also camera has waves coming through when taking pics of monitors or TV screen
As I bough it directly in store they would keep fees for exchange / refund...
And if they accept it is a defect, they will probably send it to their repair center.
The best option would be the issue is acknoledged by Huawei directly if lots of users are concerned, followed by replacement process.

Do you have the black or blue one?
I came to the store and it seems blue one is better regarding screen uniformity
Moreover did you keep the out-of-box screen protector?
Thanks
i have the blue and i keep the original protection screen
Thanks for your answer, @onlinejobwork, which color did you buy?
Maybe there were poor screen batches for black edition...

I just got a black P20 yesterday ( EML-L29 ). I didn't notice it, until I saw this topic here. It's subtle, but there definitely is a yellowish darker tint on the bottom of the screen, mostly in the bottom right corner. I wonder what they'll say if I go back to the shop with it...

This issue seems to be a bit less noticeable, if you change the screen temperature to something a little colder, than the default setting.

Thanks, this is exactly the issue! In a global manner the screen is rather yellow but you can change the settings to set "cold color" to improve the situation.
Hower there is still a darker/more yellow area at the bottom as shown on your picture...
Could this be just a problem with the viewing angle? It's a rather tall display, and kinda seems like when you hold the phone and tilt it backward and forward it improves / gets worse. Or am I imagining things?

I do not think so. If you display a white screen and flip the phone (fingerprint scanner on top), you will see the concerned area remains darker.
Maybe this could be the screen protector but rather seems related to the screen itself
Yellow screen on the bottom

I really got the same problem, went to some stores they were also affected. I got a replaced device yesterday but the same problem( I thought nobody would notice it but i see there are more people who has the problem. Bad QC control of huawei...)
Hello,
I do not dare removing the screen protector to ensure it is not the culprit (as I think I will get the phone back to the shop...).
Has anyone tried?
What seems bad is that as mentionned by Ieozt38 and as I saw by meself, lots (if not all) of units seem affected in the shops I visited. Thus an exchange would just be lost time..
Maybe we have to wait for the next batches which may have better screen?
Can those participating to this thread share the first digits of their serial number?
Maybe those after a given number are not concerned or something like that.
Mine: UBV02183100.....
Thank you
Just got mine yesterday after a trade in from the Sony ZX2, I put on a white screen and the tone of the white is inconsistent, but not much, some parts of the white is ok, whiles some has a slight black tint/or slight tone in the white, I think it's a characteristic of a LCD and how the back light is lit, so yes, you may get a soft tint of variable colors include yellow, black white and so on. It's also how your eyes see it. I think it's normal, but everyone one has their opinion on this.

Mine came with a protective film with a pull tab, then a preinstalled screen protector under it, I removed both to check for scratches, as there is no exchange if found with scratches, i'm going to put on a glass screen protector anyway, so removing them is a matter of time.
My first unit wasn't about a tint on the screen, but the brightness is ultra low, compared this with my P10 and the shops unit, had a second unit out, and compared the first and second one, probably something with the LCD or back lit light, some people on this forum will probably have this problem, but you must have two unit to see it.
I think is the orientation. But, yes, I have too a yellow tint screen at the bottom.
Black, in Spain. Glass Protector.
Hello,
I finally returned the phone to the shop, and lost some money...
For the next phone I will check screen quality before buying.
I noted the screen of Honor 9 lite looks better and more homogeneous, whereas it is 3 times less expensive .
