Cannot display yellow?

I use this tablet mostly for reading ebooks which I highlight a lot. What I have noticed is that it is unable to display yellow which has an obvious green tint. When the texts are highlighted, it doesn't look yellow at all. I have replicated the same result in SketchBook so it seems to be a screen issue. The Tab3 8 has no such issue. Since I was doing photography and did quite a bit of calibration, I am aware every panel is different. Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this.

Please see here.

Thanks for the link. Looks like there is no solution however. I wonder what good the sketchbook is if it cannot display yellow.

Well it's not like it's not there . . . it just looks like crap . . LOL . . but yes I know what you mean.
Potential deal breaker for people wanting this as an art tool.
Me, I just live with it. At times I love how nice the screen looks and at times I dislike the pentile display or the inaccurate yellows. More times than not though the display is great for me.

Am I right that both Note PRO 12.2 and Note 10.1 2014 have this problem? Which device can display better yellow?

My yellows look fine. Compared with every other device I own, note 2, Note 3, S3, My tv, 54, droid Maxx, they are all nearly the same The 12.2 looks nigh identical to my Note 2's screen besides blacks not as dark

Have you checked out the 2nd post in the above link? All my other tablets are fine except the 12.2 which has the muddy yellow (actually doesn't look yellow at all) looks exactly the same as the picture being shown. Since the screen works perfectly in every other way, I doubt it's a manufacturing defect.

Thanks. Care to snap a pic showing both units with DHL website? I would be damned if mine is defective since it has been rooted.

If I go to the DHL website on my 12.2 and Nexus 10. The 12.2 looks more yellow than the N10. Took the pic with an N5 and it shows a shade of yellow more orange than the 12.2 but less than the N10 on the same site.

Remarks : I do 30-50 emails daily on S5.

It looks cool, though I worry about the magnet doing something to the phone over time. Probably unfounded though.
Otherwise, yeah, I've been waiting for some sort of S5 equivalent to this:

No one has comment... any one using it? Good keys for typing?
RodimusConvoy, where is your picture from? It has no S5 model yet?
It looks nice too

As far as I know, there are no versions of this for the S5, there's only versions for the S3 and S4.
I'm not sure who originally made it, as a bunch of copycats/clones have popped up. I originally saw it at Minisuit, but when I go to the website I see its no longer available. But if you put "sliding bluetooth keyboard" in parenthesis in Google, you'll get hits including where to buy it. For instance, NewEgg has it.
Though that doesn't help if you own the S5 . What you showed may be the only alternative for people who want a keyboard with the S5. And it doesn't look bad, just wondering about that magnet.

I've always been curious about this kind of case. I was looking at this one. http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/galaxy-s5-slide-out-bluetooth-qwerty-keyboard-black-p45647.htm
Sorry, I haven't used one myself...
EDIT:
On closer inspection, I don't think those pictures are the S5... S4 maybe?

Its an S4. The phone in that picture is identical to the one in the pic I posted. That site is pulling a fast one. If you look at the S5, those three "dots" are all to the RIGHT of that tiny bar at the top, plus its corners are squared compared to the rounded S4.
I saw the same thing at Alibaba. It looks like people are taking advantage of the fact people want a keyboard for their S5 by misrepresenting what they're selling.

Sorry I missed this the first time. Its an alternate unverse, evil Rodimus Prime. Its from a comic and toyline called Transformers: Shattered Glass only available during the 2008 BotCon (an annual convention for Transformers fans).

Yes, I'm very late with this response.
I didn't like it. I found the keyboard inconveniently small, and the corners of the case that clipped onto the phone broke within a few months of use. I'm still looking for a keyboard case for this phone that will give me an experience comparable to having a true QWERTY slider, and I'm really POed that there are no current options available for one.
Samsung is apparently making keyboard cases for the S6 and one of the Tabs that approximate the old Blackberry feel. Not what I'd prefer, but I wish they'd do one for the S5, so I could at least give it a try.

Screen issue

Last night while using my phone in the dark, the brightness set down low, I noticed on sites that were darker themed that there is an odd anomaly in my screen. There is a line (that reminds me of a hair, maybe an eyelash) that only shows when the brightness is low. I was able to take a picture of it with my girlfriends G3, though it's much more noticeable when you're using the phone, as it's stationary when you scroll.

This is my first Super AMOLED screen in a while, but I don't remember anything like this before.

If it truly bothers you i'd see if your carrier will exchange it for you. I had a notification light go out and tmobile exchanged it forb $5. You'Lloyd get a refurbished device, but eliminate this issue.

I'm more interested in finding out if this is more widespread than just me.

Galaxy S3 BLACK INK Spots HELP!!

Just exchange. Next time look at the one you are getting in the store more carefully.

You realize the lights are so bright in store something like this would never show up, right?

Actually, those spots are not considered a defect in Samsung's eyes. The spots are the nature of producing amoled screens. My old PSVita(3g wifi) model are riddled with these ink spots that are only visible on a black background in a very dark environment. Also my s3 and s4 had them. Not all of them has these spots and some are more prevalent than others. It's just the luck of the draw when it comes to this matter.

Definitely. Every time I look at the phone I think it's the best looking phone on the market IMO and that includes the P20 Pro Twighliight variant

I have owned so many devices, to many to list this by colour and design and detail is simply superb ....right on the money, yes £520.....you would be hard pushed to find a device this good for that cash (new).....I'm extremely delighted with my purchase......:laugh:

The red 6 is photogenic......

Agreed. The simplicity of the design and the combination of the red colour with the black front easily makes it a stunning device. Total value for money. I don't get how other OEMs can justify selling their devices for £800+
Great pics BTW it shows off the beauty of the OP6 Red ??

Loving this case by Mofi, compliments the red nicely ......although I do like to go naked sometimes

Pixel 3 Fingerprint Scanner misalignment

Hello guys,
I noticed a slight misalignment with my fingerprint scanner on the Pixel 3 White 128 GB. I'm not sure if this is a singular issue or if it affects all other Pixel 3 phones / only this charge. I'm not sure if I should return it / get a new one (bought it today).

Are you sure? I decided to take a magnifying lens. I also heard about this "issue" in a Youtube video about the Pixel 3. It's just a slight line, maybe less than a mm, but it's stil there - on a thousand dollar product.
Or maybe I am wrong. This is something difficult to notice. And only from a certain angle. Maybe you guys can try to reproduce it on your devices?
Maybe only the Clearly White 128 GB charge of the small Pixel 3 is affected. Who knows.

Looks a bit misaligned to me. Mine isn't off center like that, so they're not all that way. Question is if it works ok how OCD are you? Only other thought is if it's not sealed well enough it might allow moisture to get in, but that's the only possible risk I can see if it works well.

I have the same issue on my 128gb white one

same issue on my 64GB not pink @@

Its an optical illusion, as you are looking at shadows through glass. You can see in your second photo, if you remove the "depth" of the shadow layer, the fingerprint sensor sits right in the middle.
Look at the back of your pixel and hold it upside down. Look more normal? Now turn your pixel to the side..any difference?
You can also try looking at it in a semi-dark room. You wont see any shadows, it should look normal.

same issue on my white 64. at first i thought it was just the back glass etching. but it is slightly off center.

Just got my pixel 3 white 64gb and mine is off to the left. Can't un-see now... hopefully the iprating isn't compromised

Just got mine today and same thing, the google expert said nothing wrong. I sent pictures. Same thread on reddit, but i pushed the sensor and it does shift to cover the space, for everyone saying its an optical illusion.

Somewhat related to this, Got a Pixel 3 that had sealing adhesive coming out from top right of the phone. There was not a lot of goo coming out but definitely not acceptable for a $800 phone. It seems the tolerances on Pixel 3 to push them out to market are not great.
