I just started using the Expanded Desktop MOD (No Navbar) and noticed that the bottom 8-10mm of the screen has a yellowish tint which isn't really visible on dark backgrounds like the Navbar.
It's clearly visible in apps that use the light theme such as Chrome, Hangouts.
The easiest way to check would be to open the Google keyboard in reverse landscape mode (volume buttons facing upwards) and compare the color from edge to edge.
Fortunately, my N5 doesn't have the overall yellow tint issue which my friend's N5 does and a lot of users have mentioned here.
My question is, is there anyone who has a perfect device? No overall yellowish screen and no uneven colors issue that I have.
I don't want to go through a bunch of RMAs and never get a perfect screen.
Please check your phone's keyboard in reverse landscape mode and post if you see this issue or if the colors are uniform.
Thanks.
My screen has a very slight yellow tint too at the bottom 10mm (the rest is fine, no yellow tint), but it is minor.

It's bad quality control if that's the case. I've had it for almost a month so don't think it's going to get better.
Anyone else has this issue?
I've got an N5 32GB that doesn't have the yellowish tint to the screen. Out of the few people I know that have N5's, none of them have that problem. I am wondering if the slight shadow effect is what is being referred to int his thread. Both the top and bottom have a slight shadowing effect on the edges of the screen with the Google Experience launcher. I haven't checked to see if you can turn this off but you can in Nova Launcher. When I get in from work, I'm going to round up some backgrounds to check. If anyone has any they think illustrate the issue best, please post them and I'll check back and try them with my device. For now, I recommend trying the Nova Launcher and turning off the shadowing to get a clear idea of what is going on with the edges of the screen.
Edit: Using Google Search and Hangouts, I don't see any yellowish anything on the edges of my screen regardless of the orientation. I also asked a co-worker to have a look as well and he didn't see any variation in the screen color on the edges, yellow or any other. The launchers I tried was Nova Launcher beta3 and the Google Experience launcher. Both yielded the same results.
Edit 2: It should be noted that I am not using the Expanded Desktop Mod and my ROM is stock with root and CWM for recovery.

Yes, i have this issue too. It is my second N5 (first one was a RMA) and i noticed it at the weekend when i flashed Purity ROM and checked a blank website using Chrome with Immersion/Expanded desktop mode enabled. Hmm. Besides that, my second Nexus 5 is near than perfect and basing on my research it is possible, that is glue that has to harden out - so it could disappear some day....? I don´t want to RMA it a third time.
I have also noticed, that the spot is getting stronger when the Nexus is on heat, e.g. with benchmarking or gaming. Weird. But that could be subjective.
I think i will have a look how it goes and than i will decide how to proceed.

Are you all still with first batch phones? I had a 16GB (black) 310k that I sold once my 311k 32GB (black) arrived. I didn't have any issues with the 310k either but it seems a lot more people have had various issues with the 310k over anything later.

thats up to u..my n5 was really yellowish..it has been improving after using it more often
Thank you for your help. I think, I will have a look at and see how it goes.
Was your whole screen yellowish, or like mine I a small area?
Gesendet von meinem Nexus 5 mit Tapatalk
I run Immersion Mode and yes the bottom where the keys were have a yellow tint
Same issue here, but mine has almost fixed itself with just using it today. Device has been used for less than a week. I'm hoping what little is still there corrects itself too. Was driving me nuts. It's all I noticed. I attribute it to the glue curing.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Yes, i am looking and searching for it every time i use the phone.. And yes, that is something that drives one nuts.
I will give it a go like i stated before, and when it is not getting better, i will ask Google for a replacement.
I have taken a photo, i hope you can see it..
Hi TR2N,
It has been a while since your post, but did your yellow tint on the top of your screen ever fade or did you eventually RMA or just live with it? I am dealing with the same issue and the tech at Google never heard about anything related to glue drying.
Thanks,
Jason

I did but the replacements had the same issue and were more yellow overall.
I've had my original phone this whole time. The yellow tint eventually goes away as you keep using it and the glue dries up.
hello everyone!
ive been browsing through XDA's nexus5 forums for hours and hours but i feel like my question hasn't really been answered so far. i cant post in the development forum with the faux app thread (i have less than 10posts which are required) so i'm posting in this sub forum.
i got my n5 yesterday and it has yellow tint. the colors look washed out too. question:
has anybody been able to fix his yellow tint with faux app + faux kernel/franco's kernel? so is it only a software issue (bad calibration) or is it a hardware issue which cant be fixed on our side?
everything else seems to be fine so i dont really want to RMA it now and get 3 other faulty RMAs with dead pixels or rattling buttons like some other people on XDA.
thanks in advance!
How yellow are we talking? The Nexus 5s are noticeably more warm than most other phones out there, but they are more accurate when it comes to color reproduction. Unless it's MAJOR, then I wouldn't worry about it. You'll get used to it. Then there's this... which I don't know much about.

My colors also looked a little more yellow after the update to 4.4.2, can anyone else confirm this ?

it's definitely noticeable and quite annoying. the colors also look washed out and the entire display isn't as sharp as it should be (i think this is related to the general color/gamma problem). compared the color to my nexus S and you could directly see the difference. but i would say that ive seen much worse displays on pictures in the defects thread and other threads on here and that's why i'm hoping that it's fixable
yes, that's the app that ive linked in my first post. i'd be very happy if someone who has/had yellow tint and tested this app could post in here :fingers-crossed:

Samsung displays are known to be VERY oversaturated. I came from the S3 and I thought it was a great looking display. When I got my N5 I thought it was okay, nothing great. Now I love it. If I look at the S3/S4 it hurts my eyes it looks so bad!
It seems to be an issue that's affecting a really small subset of devices. The screen on my phone isn't yellow at all - in fact, it's just about perfect. I've read that people have been able to fix it by installing Franco's kernel, which makes sense because my screen gets too blue when I install it. If you make a yellowish display bluer, it should look normal.
I bought 16gb Version in India and i found my screen to have a yellow Tint, is it natural or should i ask for replacement? Everything else is fine. Please reply quickly. Thanks.
I took a screen shot of the clock app and sent it to my old HTC desire x and the blue was perfect blue while my moto it was light and purple in colour.
And can anybody else please check their clock app and tell me if its a dark blue or purple as in my case. Will help me a lot, thanks .
Any overheating issues too?

The same problem here too, screen shot on laptop seems blue , but its purple when i see it on my phone.
And also i just figured that the clock app shades change depending on time, so i changed my time to your screen shot time and i compared, its blue on the laptop but purple directly.
so this is general occurrence i assume.
:crying:
i returned mine, but same issue screenshots differ in color also selfies sometime are yelowish.
what ashame for motorola release a phone with so many issues!!!
I dunno if I should replace or not now, everything else is fine. anyone else has the same problem or I can get a proper screen ?

Well, if you're finding any issues with the display you can ask for replacement. They will replace it without any questions.
Talking about the yellow tinge, I am having no such issues on my Moto G. The clock however, changes its color according to the time. Are you seeing the yellow tinge throughout your usage? If yes then get a replacement.

Well in that case, here is my video review. Have a look. youtu.be/b7YPJJHafJY
I have come to peace with it now it definitely is warmer in colour reproduction, but I don't want to risk getting another defective handset over this, the mobile has been great so far, with insane battery i must say. screen on time reached 5.3 hours with average to above average usage. And about 4 hours with heavy usage. Definitely a keeper. thanks for the replies mates.
can close the thread now admins. Or is there an option for me to close it myself?
Just compared my wife's Moto E to my Moto G. Both US. Ran screen test app. The G definitely has a Yellowish cast in the whites and greys. And the colors are different on the same wallpapers.
yes it definitely does have a yellow warmer tone in my phone too.

The yellowish tint is because of adaptive display. In nexus 6 you will find a pinkish tint on the screen. Some phones of motorola have this issues.

I've adressed the bug on Lenovo's Motorola one vision forum hoping for a solution/fix.

I had to try it myself after seeing those images from @badadam
I experienced the same thing, and you can even see the purple tint in the view finder without taking an actual photo so it can't be because of some post processing on images.. But it's only concentrated to the middle for some reason.
I got this answer from a support guy on the Lenovo one vision foum:
This looks like a limitation of the hardware under very specific conditions. I suspect attempts to tune it out were determined to cause other side effects, but we will report it.
I´ve now asked if my device has to be returned/swapped if it is a hardware issue or if a future update can fix the problem.
I recieved the following answer to the above question from Lenovo:
Yes, that's what I mean. My personal recommendation would be to use the Night Vision feature, as previously suggested. Flash always leaves some kind of visual variation. Replacing it with a new motorola one vision won't make a difference.
I then took the attached photo (taken with night vision, indoors, not in low light) and sent it as reply asking if it is a general problem with the one vision or I and others that have experienced the problem have faulty devices.
I am tempted to returning/swapping the device in the hope of the latter.
Otherwise I will probably return the device to buy another phone. Which would be sad as I am otherwise very satisfied with the one vision. But I can't live with a phone that can't take perfect indoors photos.
That's only last update
This is before update.
Only SW issue
has anyone else noticed this?
Weird Green banding in dark mode and low brightness
Did a factory reset for battery purposes and noticed this... didn't think i saw it before I reset it??
Soz for the bad pic but basically the left side has a big green tint
Yes... I think many of us have it. The display is also slightly yellowish when it is showing white colors when compared to Note 10+

Some users have reported that in Reddit and SamMobile. I posted a thread a couple of weeks back here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...n-affected-t4153251/post83406075#post83406075
I have reported this in this forum as well. Mine is more a yellowish tint to the overall display. When you look at chrome or YouTube in dark mode, you'll notice the blacks aren't as deep. I have come across 3 different note 20 ultra with the issue which leads me to believe most if not all units have this even if not many ppl report it.
I saw it yesterday when its on low brightness and dark mode on. Even when watching prime video there is green tint though I brought whole green hue to 0
Any of my devices with amoleds look green to me. Must be 65 y.o. vision. Did the trick of turning down the green all the way. No dice.
I use a neat app from the play store called Screen Balance which is a Godsend. You can really fix the tinting with it. I like cooler colors without green and it does the job... but... the saturation and contrast in the Ultra just isn't up to snuff. I only notice it when I put the phone side by side with the Note 9. I have Screenbalance installed in both devices, and the 9 beats the Ultra firmly.
Thoughts or updates?

All I saw was Add Color Lens but at the lowest number washed everything over with the chosen color. Same with color adjustment-barely any changes with the sliders even though I do have the green at zero.
That app is the ticket for me. It has various filters for different screens and the one I chose I adjust for *just* a hint of blue-takes out the greenish without putting a visible tint over everything. I do it on every device I have and for me, works great. Believe me, I've tried everything with every amoled and it's the most workable for me, and I'm anal about this stuff. :rolleyes

Ah I'm running the Android 11 beta so looks like they renamed a few things, but they're the same settings, yes I tried those settings too and got the same effect, I assumed that was what the app did too, looks like it works a bit differently to the stock settings method.

Thanks for the "Screen Balance" app! This app seems to be the only one that gives the fine tuning for white balance without turning Vivid mode ON. It has significantly reduced the yellow tint on my N20 Ultra. I did notice however that it makes the text on screen a little bit less sharp.
I don't have the green tint either. Was all in my head.
Then again maybe not. Lol. I see it and don't see it at night. Regardless of 120 or 60Hz.
