Hello guys,
I am seeing a yellowish tint on the bottom left on my screen, but only on some grey background. I'm still on the 15 days returning window so I am thinking of sending my phone back.
Anyone with the same issue? Should I ask for a refund and purchase back a new phone or ask for an exchange?
Thanks.

Like any oled screen. It's a lottery what the colour shift, evenness. If you notice it you should exchange it. It will annoy you to no end
Yea it happens, u could exchange it but whos to say itll be worse or better? Maybe the device will have another defect thats major. Who knows of its really annoying u go for the exchange and pray.

My color shifts a little when grey (I guess like yours) but I feel like it will look like this no matter how many times I exchange it. Still looks good IMO. Just suck a large screen so different angles may shift.
Cause the screen is so tall your always looking at parts of the screen at different angles

My g flex 2 has a yellowish stain on the lower left corner...the blind people at sprint shut me down for a replacement because they claimed they couldn't see it. I've asked at least 7 other people for a second opinion and they could all see it. What is it, and what should I say to the assholes at sprint the next time I come in?

I fix phones, sometimes when we get yellow spots on screens after being replaced say like on iPhone devices it mainly is because something is putting pressure on the screen somewhere, most of the time it is something near the lcd flex cable where it connects to the motherboard. Like with iPhone 5 you have a metal shield covering the connectors and if you tighten the screws too much then you get yellow spots on the screen somewhere. Ultimately I'd tell them to check for that, to check that nothing inside is too tight near the connector if the lcd. Would be great if you can post a photo of your screen.
Install Dead Pixel Detect and Fix from Play Store, select the grey color from the options and dim the brightness of your phone.
It's much more visible that way and then go back to where you purchased your phone and show them.
When grey you see lots of uneven spots on your screen.
I have the same problem with mine and it's clearly visible.
Don't let them take you for an idiot (because I am sure they DID see it) and force them to replace your phone. Open the new one in front of them and check if it's ok.
If not ask for another phone.
I got my second one and this display got the same problem. Like already said, its good visible on a grey Background.
I let it change again and when the third one have the same Problem, i will get the HTC M9

Trust me. You guys aren't the only ones with this very infuriating defect. Got this defect on my new phone (not an LG) and I've got yellow piss stains all over the white screen. ****ing nightmare.
Hey I got mine replaced and the new one has no problem anymore. No yellow spots.
Nice to hear.
Two LG G Flex 2 had already a yellow spot on Display and I hope that the third one arrives without that issue.
Is there any chance they ever go away? Is it the glue?
Is there any way to make the yellow spots go away? Im just curious

If it is the glue yes. There are some ways to accelerate the procedure but i dont approve
for example uv light or under the sun.
JFYI
I've seen so many of these threads & just want to chime in that I have a Sprint version ordered about a day after release & it has no color issues @ all.
It has been dropped, sat out in the sun & flexed.
I even installed the app to test, no color issues.
The OTA update is failing of course since I rooted it.
Anyway, point is, there are good ones out there.
Good luck everyone.

hey man.. i just got an exchange because my previous one had two really distinct yellow spots at the top.. but the new one seems to have it spread out across the display and only noticeable on grey backgrounds.. wondering if yours eventually went away or is it still a persistent annoyance.. thanks!
Does anyone have a pink tint to part of the screen? I know the Galaxy s6 had a bad problem with this. I'm hoping it's been solved in this generation.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/getting-replacement-s6-due-to-screen-t3074865
No pink tint on my S7, but the screen is not uniform. Bottom right corner is what it's supposed to be, with white background, but the upperpart has a yellowish tint to it.
Going crazy with these AMOLED screens, because last time I tried to buy a S3, I had to cancel my purchase after 3 units. They all had the same problem and I really tought, that Samsung could produce good screens after so many years, and because this isn't that much different with S6's screen
My Verizon S7 just starting displaying this problem. Bringing it back to Best Buy ASAP today.

My flat S7 has a bad screen too : Pink / Green color shift from top to bottom...
I already had this problem with 3 different S6 so I'm really disappointed the issue is still present with the S7. Got a RMA but it may takes 3 weeks for a replacement thanks to the ****ty consumer service in my country .
Here is a shot of the problem (the 2 shots are the same I have just augmented contrast on the second one to clearly see the problem).

I'm quoting myself from another thread. Still an issue... I'm waiting for a replacement model right now and I hope the screen will be good.
Yep, I've got this issue. Pink tint at the bottom of the screen. The only negative of an otherwise faultless phone. I kind of wish it had an IPS LCD, seems these AMOLED screens are very inconsistent with colour. At the moment it's not TOO bad but I'd prefer a uniform display. Didn't have this issue with the S6.

i have to exchange my amoled phones ALWAYS a few times (ordered my 5th S7 Edge today)!
i wrote a few threads regarding this, i also sent a message to displaymate (because they test "cherry-picked" devices, and do not mention this), see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/general/note4-amoled-screen-quality-t2906365
1st: display not good compared to second device
2nd: the device i use now. very good viewing angles and no tint, BUT: left side of display is darker then right side
3rd: display strong yellow tint
4th: display almost good, slight yellow tint. would take this, BUT: front cam takes blurry pictures compared to other devices...
5th: ordered today!
you may think i'm a hypocrite or have OCD, but it makes me mad that a 800EUR device has such flaws!!!

I absolutely agree with you guys. We are paying a significant amount of money and we expect it to be perfect.
Kudos for keep trying @TML1504. Hope you get a perfect one this time.
Are you buying this from a local store or a online seller? Because all local stores in my country will ask too much question if I approach them for replacement since it's a silly issue related to display, software, speaker, camera. Mostly likely it will end up in a pointless argument from their side and they consider the issue under warranty only. Speaking based on my earlier experiences.
Are the screen tint issues happening straight out of the box or do they develop over time?
Are you guys noticing it when the display it tilted or even in straight position?
I got a replacement unit yesterday, but had to wait almost 4 weeks for it. Didn't get a DOA replacement at the store, because the store manager didn't see the yellow tint. This new unit has slight pink tint on the top part of the screen. Gonna wait till thursday and decide if I'm gonna change this one. Probably not, because with my luck I have to change phones too many times, and the store manager doesn't want/or can't see the problem.
Maybe I'm gonna forget and get used to this screen, because it's little bit better than the first unit. Driving me crazy that Im so sensitive to this kind of things

Same issue here. Been speaking to Samsung's UK arm on Twitter and they say to take it into my local store (even though it was bought elsewhere). My worry is that I'll make the trip and be told there's nothing wrong.

galaxy s7 screen problem
same here i preordered a galaxy s7 and after 1 week of use i started noticing some color shiftiing when i'm in a dark room the auto brightnes turns the light down
and i start noticing ( especiallly in grey, grey dark and green dark cloros ) that the left side is brighter than the right side .
it's like a wave of light from the bottom left to the upper left of the screen this is really annoying when using a grey theme for example .
i compared to a galaxy note5 and s6 and they also have the same problem but in different parts of the screen.
i can't return it cuz the people in samsung want notice the problem. and they will tell me there's nathing wrong with it so i'll keep it until next year.
and by th way i had the same problem but it was pink on the right side whit my s6 last year and i changed the display twice under waranty, the third try i've got a farely good display.
maybe the next year i'll buy an iphone.

Yep, picked up and replaced by Samsung UK within five days. New unit had a perfect screen
Is this common?
When on a solid screen, such as a blue-gray colored screen, it's especially noticeable. No banding, but it just gets gradually darker towards the USB end of the screen than the front facing camera end.
I'd like people to test theirs and see if they notice the same thing. I've had a Nexus 6 for over 2 years and just now noticed it has the same issue but it's brighter at the bottom, so it may be something you don't see unless you look for it. It's a very subtle difference. Maybe this is common with OLED phones?
The reason I ask is I just got the phone and have time to exchange it. If a lot of people see the same thing then I won't worry about it since I could get one that's even worse.

I would exchange it. When you pay this kind of money for a phone you expect it to be right. I use solid dark walls and haven't noticed that on mine.

Played the video on my 8+, even tried at different angles and it seemed like the same color no matter where I looked. Looks like you have a bad display, sorry bub.

It's not the color but the brightness. I'm exchanging it today and hoping I don't get another from the same batch.
Well I exchanged it and finally got one with a near-perfect screen. The woman at Best Buy customer service said they've had a lot of S8 returns for that reason so I guess it's just a crap shoot if you get a good one. I heard the same thing about the S6 and 7.
Now this really isn't an issue at all but it was pointed out by my friend. There may be other ways of noticing the same but here's how I do it.
Sit in a dark room, as dark as possible (best at night).
Increase the brightness to maximum.
Open any video on MX Player, pause it and zoom out (decrease video size) as much as possible.
Observe the corners around the chin of the device. You should see some light leaking through.
Now of course this isn't an issue you'd encounter normally but it just kinda freaked us out. Any idea what might be causing it? I have no technological knowledge about displays except for the fact that pixels are turned off for black areas in AMOLED displays. We don't have navigation keys backlight either.

Doubt it's possible to have "rogue" pixels but I will have to see for myself when mine arrives. But my friend who has it never complained about it, so I have a feeling only a certain batch of them might have this issue.
There also might be a chance it's related to software, so did you try using another rom?

It certainly is weird. I mean that light bleed doesn't exactly appear to be "rogue" pixels either. Plus it's rather too dim to be noticed unless you're sitting in an absolutely dark room with your brightness maxed out and about 75% of the screen totally black (which would rarely ever happen). I believe it could be possible that every unit has this but never really has been noticed by anyone.
The issue isn't that great for me to switch to another ROM and test it. Just wanted to bring this to everyone's notice. I'm on OOS 5.1.11 (rooted)
Yes, I ordered 2 and they were both defect so I sent them back. I did not send them back because of this tho, however i also recognized that both of them had really bad uniformity issues and it looked like the edges were bleeding. I observed that on a white background. I am living in germany and ordered from amazon, the second one got dust in it's front camera lense, when it arrived and the first one was emitting a loud static noise, like coil whine. It's insane, I just want a proper working phone. Not sure, whether I should order a 3rd one.

Wow that's a really big let down on Amazon's part to send defective units, and that too twice! However, I checked my screen for any such uniformity issues both on black and white but didn't find any such except for this one. And I repeat again, this is barely noticeable and is visible only when you're in absolute dark, with maximum brightness on black screen.
Although such a thing is ignorable but it's something which isn't really expected from OnePlus.

Hehehehe.... I'm sure it'll be just fine! And congrats on getting your new phone (even if you're about to get it). Nevertheless it's a very decent device :good:
Have a Note 9 which I'm keeping, just got the Ultra and the display is a disappointment.
Side by side with the 9, colors are not as vibrant, contrast is so-so, sharpness is off. Fine details, icon edges, etc. are fuzzy.
Now, I'm anal about this kinda stuff. If I never saw the 9's screen, I'd never know and think it's fine, and to most, it would be. But this is me you're talkin' to. ?
I don't know whether to return it or pray for a Samsung fix. I'm not a gambling man. I've gone through every display setting and resolution there is, including dev options. I'm pretty experienced.
Maybe it's Nova launcher, but it's just not as nice as the 9's screen. Exact same home screen, icon theme, everything identical.
Your thoughts/opinions/gut feelings? Got till next week to return to Best Buy.
Thanks a lot,
Rich
You're 100% right, my N20U has a yellowish dirty white look to it when compared to my N10+
I doubt Samsung sees this as a defect until all of us report it as a defect so they can fix it with a software update.
Using vivid mode with green slider turned to lower setting helps but that's about it...

I posted in another thread that I got an app - Screen Balance - from the play store. With that I was able to get rid of more green as it has several adjustments for white balance. Use various adjustments judiciously. I like things cool. Seems *all* amoleds look green to me anyway.
Lest anyone thinks I'm spamming the app, since I mentioned it in another thread, I am not. Just a much happier user. ?
Doesn't solve the aforementioned problems though.
My gripe is temporary image retention. Using dark mode and gray screens, sometimes, the outline of the keyboard will remain on the screen for 5-10 seconds. I notice that if one uses the phone in light mode, it seems perfect, but once in dark mode, it has some minor flaws.
It's funny to see so many of these posts popping up. I made a post about this before as well that the screen has an overall yellowish greenish overtone to it. In fact, mine got worse. Now I have screen burn in. It's crazy since I don't have my phone at high brightness. It's somewhere in the middle. This is the first time I have to have a screen replaced. I miss my note 9 so much. If the note 9 had an ultra wide camera, I would so have kept it. This is likely the most problematic note I've owned. I had 3 note ultra in the past and they are all the same in terms of display. There's no escaping it. If you call the Samsung costumer service, they aren't allowed to admit issues with the device that Samsung hasn't cleared for them to admit, so they'll deny any screen issues at this time. I was going to trade this in for the Oneplus 8 pro, but they aren't taking Note 20 ultras as a trade in device, so may still sell or try to hold on till S21 ultra and pray by then Samsung corrects this new line of Amoled screens.
This is the screen burn in that I have unfortunately. Going to get the screen replaced, hopefully this weekend.

Then it's a mystery what that anomaly is. I am not the only one as a member in another forum posted similar. Image retention maybe? I don't know. But whatever it is, it's not going away and the Samsung phone techs agree I need to change the screen. Hopefully the new one doesn't do this.

Your screenshot looks clear to me on my PC, so if you are seeing burn-in then it will be on your screen and will need a replacement, what I was saying is you cannot send someone a SS to show them the burn-in, they would need to look at your screen with their eyes

Burn-in does not show in screenshots, It will only be visible on your device as it is the physical screen with the damage

Hahaha lol I just realized the error of my ways :laugh:
I've never had such screen anomalies before. Still can't understand how it got there since I don't keep my phone at max brightness. Guess I got unlucky this time around.

Same image on the screen for extended periods can cause it too, so if you're always in WhatsApp chat or Facebook app and the same thing is always on the screen you'll be more likely to see it then too

Yeah i used to worry a lot about this as i know there are batches of screens that have this problem. Initially i thought the green yellow tint problem was also in some batches esp when Display mate gave this screen such high rating, which means they are all who have sold their souls for money and not honest, so thought mine was a bad batch but it seems everyone has this tint issue. Its sad that you have burn in but its more common than you think. Many people got it with the Samsung View case too.

Yeah, pretty unfortunate. I did see the issues with the Samsung cases causing the burn in as well. What's funny is that if you speak to a supervisor at the Samsung customer service number and tell them about the screen issues and you have someone else with a Samsung phone call them back hours or a day later and get the same supervisor, they'll tell you that they never had one complaint about the screen. Unless Samsung instructs them it's an issue they can fix, they will not admit it. Still hoping Samsung can correct the yellowish greenish overtone of the general display.
