I recently sent my phone back for a screen replacement. And the new screen is insanely greenish, not partially greenish, but greenish everywhere. After comparing it with other phones, I found that it was not a too-much-green problem, because the screen still looks off with green intensity reduced with Color Changer Pro. The problem is the screen's tint is off, which should be moved towards the megenta side.
And I saw that you get to manually control the tint on Xiaomi phones. There's no such thing on Samsung's One UI. I know you can control the color balance when you set your screen mode to Adaptive, but it's wayyy to saturated and like I said, reducing green intensity won't solve the problem.
So anyone got an idea about how I can change the tint of the screen? Thanks ahead.

Anyone notice a strange dynamic shimmering/interference effect on darker backgrounds at low to medium low? It's almost like the screen is picking up analog interference. I have not tried to capture on camera. Pull up a solid color (grey, like the google now background, or white) and set the brightness to min.
Anyone else's tab have it?

I have it on my current Galaxy Tab 7.7, it is very visible especially on backgrounds with gray color
On my previous Galaxy Tab 7.7 it does not have this problem
I have no shimmering or any other issues with my screen. It's perfect
Got lucky for once, hope it stays like this.

It primarily happens at minimum brightness, solid color (white screen)
Can anyone else check their tablet for this issue?
I think I have this issue, is it like a random slight colour variation every so often? I keep thinking I am tripping out
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I have the same problem, on minimum brightness, mostly on grey colored areas on the screen.
the only time i see this is when their is some oil from skin on the screen. it looks rainbowy.
aboslutely nothing that looks like shimmering otherwise.

Tested it at night in the dark. Auto and minimum brightness. Solid red, green, blue, gray, black and white colors. No shimmering or any deformation on the screen.

Thanks for checking, guys.
My first P6800 from february this year has had this issue and I thought this is something oled specific. After my bag got stolen (lucky bastards) I was buying a new p6800 in august. These downtuned grey and green colours are now rock-solid on that new device. So obviously that is a little bit of gambling. quality control and yield of larger oled still seem to have potential...
Thread moved to Q & A section.
Got my OnePlus last night and generally I love it. But I have one showstopper that I'm hoping has a fix that I just don't know about. Is there something wrong with my phone, or is there a fix, or is the problem with me that I’ve become perverted by AMOLED?
See, I use my phone to read at night before bed. Lights totally off, and the black background is just not black, it's grey. My last two phones are a Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Nexus, both of which have AMOLED screens. From what I've read, the AMOLED has a very deep black because apparently the lighting is per-pixel, so the pixel is literally not even on when black is on the screen, right?
So when I read at night, the lit pixels are a deep amber orange, and the black pixels are...black. On the OnePlus, the deep amber orange is washed out (comparatively), and the black pixels are...grey. This is pretty much indistinguishable if there's any visible light in the room, but at night with all the lights off, it’s very obvious since I’m used to the AMOLED black. This shows up in both my ebook reader, Moon+, and in Chrome and Gallery when downloading a "pure black" photo. I even use a program, Screen Filter, to dim the screen down below the lowest brightness setting, but the black background is still too bright for me. And yes, it’s there without Screen Filter.
Again from my reading on this, I seem to find that LCD screens (which the OnePlus has) light the whole screen for their backlight, so this may be pretty much inevitable. Is this accurate?
I’d post a photo, but in the kind of low light conditions I’m talking about, no photo would show that kind of contrast. At least no photo I know how to take.
PS - This does not appear to be the "yellow screen" problem I've been reading about. The colors seem consistent from top to bottom. But I'm not very good at color distinguishing.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
You're just used to AMOLED displays, the blacks on those are much deeper because it's not actually lighting up when it's displaying black, it's displaying nothing at all. This is because there's no backlight, each pixel is made up of three LED's, so when it's displaying black none of those LED's are firing up. An LCD display is completely different, even when it isn't really displaying anything (black) it's being lit up by the backlight. There's nothing you can do about this.

What he said.... the OP can adjust his screen settings accordingly to emulate a "AMOLED" experience as previous phones such as N4,N5 has done this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54321008&postcount=6 try those settings it might satisfy the OP when it comes to blacks being blacks and not gray
I made a screen white balance adjuster for android screens (with a few other adjustments, e.g. tint and brightness)...
Some phones are lucky enough to already have these, like the Xperia seriese, but they you have my Moto X that has a yellow tint for some reason!
If you want to give it a go, it's here.

Ha, yes, well, this app corrects it!
I have updated it to adjust the contrast as well.
I also have a Moto X and looking for a way to get rid of the yellowish tint. I tried the app but I can't find a way to make the colors colder or change the white balance. All I can do is set a tint/filter and change the strength of it. Changing color modes between tind and white balance seems to do nothing. (Version 4.0)
Is it even possible to change the yellow tint with the free version? I will not buy the paid version unless I am sure that it can do more and it's what I really need.
Also, what are the downsides and the effect on pixel longevity, battery and performance? I tried chainfire's cf.lumen (which requires root) and it has the nasty habit of applying its filters twice when switching between portrait and landscape. I guess your app does also just overlay a transparent, tinted image over the whole screen?
I really don't want to get used to a new calibration and then find out that I have to switch back to the old one because of a drawback.
my N6 has yellow tint too...but only on the bottom part...how can i adjust only the bottom part ?is there any possible way to do it ?if i adjust my whole screen with your app there will be a difference between top and bottom ..i have this stupid yellow tint on white and grey background..on grey it is soooooooooooo bad
I bought H959 yesterday and I test the display function after I open the device.
I found that the LG POLED has serious mura (uniformity problem) on low level gray scale pattern.
I know OLED process for LG is still tough so I can accept this defect. But I want to know everyone's phone also has this defect or not?
If it's just a special case, I will try to change a new one.
I compare this with my wife's S6 edge in the same pattern and don't find this phenomenon. I still try to catch the pictures because it's hard to get this kind of pictures.
Sorry, my english is pretty basic.
Sorry to say but this is normal. The screen uniformity is terrible in gray which is likely why LG has set such a high minimum brightness so that it is not easily visible in other colors.

A lot of people have yellow spots visible in grey font with 0 brightness
I can confirm having small yellowish tints and terrible gray background quality. It looks like it's made 50 shades of grey squares xD I don't really mind, just stop thinking about it and look at the curves and beautiful deep blacks of the display.

I totally aggree!!!
Same issue here. The uniformity problem reduce if you increase the brightness.
I've seen a few threads here about changing the screen color but they seem to just be about boosting saturation. Is there a way to make the screen less yellow? I have root so there might be a few more possibilities.
Hi!
I might ask a stupid question, but do you have nightlight always on?
Because if this is off, the display does not look yellow .
(Settings - Display - Nightlight)
I find in my case that the whites on my screen change hue depending on the picture I choose for my home page. The one I am currently using makes the whites appear more yellow while another one I like to use makes them look pure white. Try to change images on your home page and check your whites after each change to see.
Can't say I've ever noticed a yellow tint on whites with my screen.
Quick tip on adjusting screen saturation on rooted pixel
I always found stock pixel color saturation to be a bit washed out. I prefer the look of more saturated color palette. Even choosing "adaptive" color on display options is still not good enough for me. If you're rooted and want to increase...

He doesn't want to boost saturation. Just tweak white balance.
I'm using Color Changer Pro, mostly to adjust saturation, but also to balance whites. Without it the tint on my screen is pale yellowish

Yes, with the app cf.lumen you can really adjust the RGB value (I suggest lower green by -8-15%).
