Yellow tint - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Did anyone notice a yellow tint sometimes on the screen? It is barely noticeable, but pretty annoying, and goes away when screen off.
Running stock AMD3.
I also found this is a problem in S4, has something to do with the pentile matrix display, some people left Samsung because of this...

Screen brighter in higher part of screen

I noticed that my screen seems a little bit brighter in higher part of the screen, i repeat it's barely noticeable, but it's seems so... It's due to screen illlumination structure that comes from high part of the screen? Is in yours devices the same?
How the hellck do people notice these things?
It's only noticeable in white and light color background
Anyone can try?

It's too hard to notice if i take a pic, as soon i lean slightly camera, the image change tonality... Maybe it could be fixed by software update, with One X , later softer version fixed screen uniformity also...

I have some slight darkening in the bottom left corner that's most noticeable on medium-low brightness against white backgrounds. It only bothers me when it's slow at work and I have time to harp on things. Otherwise, it's pretty unnoticeable in regular use.

white balance

Which values are you using at whuch brightness intensity?

Yellows just can't be gotten rid of. Beside my Nexus 7 2013 it just looks BAD.

I love the yellow tint and set it Red and Green to 120 and Blue 0.
When I read on the screen my eyes like it.

It's not that the display is not becoming white it's that the whites and other colours are so off. When I use the device I have no qualms but when I put it beside my tablet I realize how bad the colours on the display are. The N7 2013 has amazing calibration. I wish Sony adds changes calibration app of this to be like the Z's. Hue and Saturation controls are there.

I have no problems with the Yellow hue, changed recently my phone with warranty (and I was damn right, it works a LOT better than my other one).
At first the screen of my actual unit was a lot more yellow than the one of the phone I was sending back, so I was really worried. But with just a Factory reset the screen went back to what it was like on my previous Z1. Plus I went to settings and found the White Balance Settings.
Now the Yellow is gone at 98% (I have a very good eyesight) and colours are gorgeous. It blows the Retina of an iPhone 5, it is a real pleasure to watch movies on the screen. Only thing I regret is that with max brightness and low ambiant light, blacks levels looks a bit grayish. Maybe that is why AMOLED users are fan of this kind of screen, I haven't tried to see if AMOLED has the same problem.
Otherwise I don't have any problems.
My settings are 23 red 16 green 78 blue.

[Q] Is the right side of the screen a little darker?

I just got my Nexus 6 today and not sure if my eyes are playing tricks on me or not. I can see a discoloration of white colors when the brightness is turned down, and if there is a white background the right side of the screen looks slightly darker than the right side.
Just checking to see if this is just my screen or did they intend a slight difference there.
The right side of this guy's screen was a bit darker

haha I just came to point that out!
This seems to be a common issue with AMOLED displays.
I went to the tmobile store to get a nano sim card and the nexus 6 display unit had the exact same issue.
erica griffin mentions the same issue with her note 4 at around the 20min mark.

You can exchange your phone, but there's no guarantee you'll get a better display.
I would just live with it if its not too bad as this is just a characteristic of AMOLED screens.
It's not bad, I can only notice it with a white background and when the brightness is lowered. With color it looks fine.
I seen the other thread, my screen still works just the color looks a little off.

Green tint when N6 is tilted

Guys I'm noticing this green tint on the glass/screen when the phone is tilted. Its green from all the angles, only when you look at the screen head on you see white. So all whites appear to be green when phone is tilted. This thing is screwing with my eye when I shift from PC to N6 or TV to N6.
Only at extreme angle the camera that I have is able to capture that green tint but to the eye it is visible at the slightest tilt.
Wanted to ask you if you'll are noticing similar issue? Can you please check, post pics from diff angle or even upload a video. It would be very helpful as I can go ahead and consider a replacement if the unit is defective.
Video (sorry about the quality)

The verge review mentioned this, mine have it but less noticeable, also didn't bother me at all, I never look the phone at that angles.
this is just a normal amoled thing i believe, my device has it too
Normal for AMOLED displays.
So what do you'll think? Should I ask for a replacement as it is more noticeable then the rest? When I'm on the PC and the phone is sitting on the desk right below the monitor from this angle the top half of the screen is green and the lower half is whitish. Is it normal in the case of amoled displays? Again this is my first device which has an amoled display, never used one before so my eyes may take time adjusting to it. I'm just worried about the unit being defective.
Check the screen for pink and yellow tint, there is a forum about it. The green/blue shift is normal as the nexus 6 uses last generation amoled screens like the ones found on the note 3 and galaxy s4

Is this the yellow pink tint you speaking about? Didn't notice this thing until you mentioned. I think a replacement is needed ...what do you say?
First pic is at max brightness adaptive display setting turned off.
Second pic is the wallpaper I used
Third has brightness at 50% adaptive display setting turned off.
My Nexus has a pink patch on the screen so I'm going to get it replaced but people are saying that it is a lottery and you might get a worse device.
Give it a try, you've paid for the device and it is your right to receive a device without flaws

Moto Maxx screen a little bit YELLOW-ISH??

well, someone told me and its true!
the Maxx / Droid screen is yellow if compared to others screens like Sony Z3...
there's an app that fix it, but when the app is running, you cannot install any apk file!! thats a shame!!
there's a way to fix that yellow tint screen without an app??
What app?

It's just how the screen on the device is man. I've had two Turbos and both have a slight yellow hue to the whites. On mine, I only notice it when directly facing he screen but if I tilt it slightly to the right or left the colors are accurate. I have completely gotten used to it now and it doesn't bother me at all which is saying something because it's all I noticed at first. Just part of having an AMOLED screen.
Droid turbo has fantastic screen and z3's cold blue whites are no match to it. Be happy with what you got instead of comparing with inferior screens. Maybe this comparison with z3c would help you notice that.
