Hi there,
The Galaxy Note is my first phone with a LED screen, I had a Desire HD before.
Since I got my Galaxy Note, the screen seems a bit yellowish to me.
When you tilt it a little bit to the side, you see the while colors becomes more white, but when you tilt it back, so the screen is right in front of you, then the white colors looks a bit yellowish again.
Is this normal for a LED screen?
I don't like the yellowish tint at all, but for the rest the screen looks amazing.
Thanks for your answers
Hmm I don't really notice any sort of yellow tint on my screen but then again I'm not the most color observant person . What you can try is go int settings==>display==>screen mode and change it from standard to dynamic or movie. I have it on dynamic and love it.

Yea I already tried dynamic mode, it makes the yellowish tint a little less, but it's still there.
You can notice it by yourself by tilting the phone.
Just put something on your screen that has a white color, and watch the screen from the side, it looks much nicer then.
Ohyea, by the way.
You can also notice the yellowish very good if you put the screen mode on movie
Just got my Galaxy Note N7000 today and noticed the same issue on mine. Tilting the screen slightly makes the whites look pure white while in its normal position the screen looks kinda yellow. I am not being able to understand if this is a faulty set or not
SAMOLED screens are supposed to have superior viewing angles, it is believed that the Oleophobic coating is causing the green/blue/yellow tinting that you see when the phone is tilted ( well in your case its a direct view ) my first screen had absolutely no color shift even at the most extreme angles, the new one I have now has a blue tint unless directly viewed.
The norm is supposed to have great viewing angles and only shift in really extreme and non usable angles.

So what you are saying here is that we should use our phone while we keep it tilted? LOL

Well, you don't have to be upset like that.
What I'm trying to say is that if you tilt the phone, it has great colors.
But when you look straight onto the screen, you see a yellowish screen.
Your conclusion is that the viewing angle are very good, and only shift in really extreme and non usable angles.
Looking straight onto the screen should not be a non usable angle.
And Im not the only one who's saying it, but when you tilt the phone, the colors looks much nicer.
Im not upset, I just found it amusing why it was not understood right off the bat.
Have your screen/phone replaced, thats clearly a quality control issue.

But I just got it new, and more people are complaining about it (also some outside xda).
So I am wondering if it worths it to replace it, because it can happen again.

Thats something only you can decide, IMHO thats a hardware defect.

If you google for Galaxy Note + green tint you'ed get a few results including this:

Some users report is as normal and accept it as normal, If its normal Im wondering why theres a green and blue tint difference and a few screens dont even have any tinting even at extreme angles. Like the first one I got (but had very visible horizontal lines )

Interesting.
Actually I'm not a whiner, so I can live with the tint for 2 years, but still...
If I will be in the center of my city, I will ask the phone store what they think, and what they will do to solve it.

All upto you, I how ever prefer to enjoy my device as defect free as possible. Especially for this device that boasts a 'great screen' and the high price tag.

True.
But I don't expect a device to be defect when it is just new.
Still there are also some people that say it is normal.
I also got a friend, he's a designer, and works with photoshop etc, and colors are very important to him.
I also told him about this issue, he said it happens more with screen, and it is seen as normal for these screens where it appears with.

This is the reason why quality control is so random with samsung, people accepting defects as normal but dont let my expectations be yours as long as your happy with the device thats what is important.

He does have a point normally a screen comes in warm,cool and neutral depending on the factory calibration. These things can be normal as long as the user accepts them to be.

Clear enough
I'll see what I will do then
Thanks for your great answers!
No problem, Keep us posted on whatever you decide.
I've had four blue Galaxy Notes and one white and they all exhibit varying degrees of tint with some less noticeable than others. Some have a more warmish yellow tint while others are cooler with more of a blue tint. It was the same way on the Galaxy S2. The best you can hope for in getting a replacement is one that has a tint that's less noticeable or if you prefer a cooler tint to the warmer tint.

I bought htc one of phones4u and i notice when watching videos or something with a dark background, light bleeds from the home button on to the screen. The light bleed comes from the bottom right hand corner of screen, looks like there is missing a bit of seal from the screen so the light comes through, so i arranged for an exchange as i wanted it perfect and it was annoying, anyway just received my second handset and guess what still the same problem, It is not the same phone if any of you guys thinking this!! As the problem with this new phone is the light is bit more on the side and worse. So two phones both with the same problem.
Have any of you guys had this problem?? as i have scanned the internet and i cannot see anything about this issue. Surely i can't be the only one!!
I will be sending this back for a third time if it happens again will probably be getting the s4.
I have not had this problem nor heard anyone else with it. Can you get a picture?

I just tried this. I found I could see a tiny bit of leakage from the back button. But only if I went into the room with no windows, all lights off, and gave my eyes about 20 seconds to adjust....then I could "just" see it. I would never ever have noticed this in normal usage and I imagine some will not be able to see it on my phone at all.
The time i finish work it is pretty dark, so this is why i notice it. Mine is def worse than yours you can clearly see it best way to do it is to be in a dark room and put brightness right down on htc one, i will try and take a photo later for you guys to see.

I have light leaking where the screen meets the body. Is this common?
My first one had this issue, just like in photo above.
The replacement is perfect light bleeding wise..

I also have this issue like the photo above in the exact same spot. Mine is only a pin hole tho.
Was really surprised to see this topic. My HTC One has easily been the most flawless screen I've ever owned. I've had some light bleeding, even if barely noticeable to anyone who doesn't have severe OCD, on almost every LED-backlist display I've used...until this phone. Even my new Nexus 10, which I settled on after many exchanges, has minor light bleeding.
Just checked my phone, don't have this issue. If possible, I'd contact the seller you purchased it from or get in contact from HTC to check out the warranty.
I came across the same issue. Anybody knows what's the cause of the issue? and how to repair it!
i'd appreciate it!
Hey Guys,
I'm running the most recent firmware and have started to notice some fairly serious problems with white balance on my camera.. I honestly don't use it that much, but i hadn't noticed anything this bad. The problem is consistent whether I'm using Auto mode or semi auto and i've noticed that adjusting some of the settings makes it less intense but it's still present either way.
This first photo here was taken during a sunset the colour on the left is almost okay, the colour on the right is washed out and grey
Note the gradient , the left hand side of the the photo was under slightly lighter conditions (sun was over that way before it set): https://www.dropbox.com/s/c3ju8rxr5hok5hj/DSC_0279.JPG?dl=0
This photo here was outside during day: Note the sunlight actually flaring into the picture, this happens anywhere there is a lot of light next to solids:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/rp517a7dcjc0r69/DSC_0281~01.jpg?dl=0
Any suggestions? Should i try to return this under.... warranty, actually are these things still even under warranty??
Cheers guys.

Warranty depends on the country - if you can, it's better to get a replacement rather than attempt to fix yourself.

Hey.... Thanks mate, i am not sure if it is something I can fix myself, or whether it's even hardware related, hopefully someone else see's this thread who can give me some insight into whether this is just bad BIONZ related or it's a hardware problem.
Anyone got any idea?
I'm not really an expert, but it looks like a flash bleed to me
Thanks for the reply mate... Unfortunately it happens anywhere there is a significant amount of daylight, with flash disabled same results unfortunately... I've noticed I get lines through the photos on macro shots if there is insufficient lighting too...
Would love to know whether this is a standard Z1 issue or a latest firmware issue or my camera is screwed? Also whether any of the custom roms address this?
cheers
The first image makes me think you might have some problem with your lens. Did you look at it under a strong light and check for visible damage like scratches?
That doesn't look software related, something's up with the lens or the glass that protects the lens. Is it smudged or scratched or anything?
nah it's definitely clean, routinely clean it... so looks like it's physically hardware related then. I had some water into this thing once, which they fixed by replacing the casing and cleaning... Is there anything which the water could have wrecked that they should have replaced perhaps?

Ahh water damage, they just cleaned it and replaced the case? I'm guessing the camera got affected as well. Usually with lenses if it comes in contact with any moisture it might get screwed up. Maybe they should've replaced the camera :/
How much water damage was there? Like, did a lot of water get in your device?
I don't think it was a heap, was enough to stop the thing booting, intermittently so I guess a bit... Might see if i can get it fixed under warranty then, given that my last warranty fix didn't address this current problem. Don't like my chances though, might be time to get a z3...
So last night I noticed that there appears to be a thin line of light coming up from above both the right and left bezel. Can anyone else reproduce this? It's most noticeable in a dark environment with the screen brightness relatively high.
Red line indicates where the light leakage comes from.
here are some actual pics. I just want to know if this is normal or not. Thanks
Nope, your phone should not do that. It appears your screen inst adhering as it should. If I were you I would take it back and get a new one if you're in your 2 week grace period.

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I'm not. But I've reached out to Samsung and they acknowledged the defect. Hopefully they'll send me a like-new replacement.

mine has the same problem here!! should i replace it??thanks
So in the end I did end up getting a replacement because of this. Turns out I'd totally regret it because this is actually normal behavior.
The replacements I got had far worse issues such as yellowing screen, overheating, and rotation issues. And on top of that all of them still had the light bezel bleed. Ugh.
Has anyone else had the problem of the light bleeding through on certain colors? On the left side of mine, there's a white-ish hue coming through. I chatted with LG to see if it's a known issue. They told me to reset the device. Or send it in for repair.
See pic..may be hard to tell.
Does it affect viewing content? If not it's technically not worth it, unless ur super picky
Sometimes it does. When anything dark except black is on the screen..it's shows. Kind of annoying too.
Hmm ii see, have you try Factory resetting it first
Same!
Did you ever find a resolution? I'm on my second v40 with the same issue. After a while, the screen kept flashing when I would put it to sleep. I had to swap the phone out.

No. I just let it go. Figure I'll let it go to it burns out. It seems to be getting worse tho. Thought about sending it in

The first one I got the week the phone came out. This one I got in December. Both from T-Mobile.
The left side of my screen by the volume buttons is green and it's driving me nuts.
I haven’t used a v40 yet, but I did see multiple v30 devices with this issue. For the v30 at least you could look closely at it and the light is bleeding through the gap between the “screen” and the side frame of the phone. I say “screen” because the issue is the bezel doesn’t properly cover the gap between the screen and the body which causes the light bleeding.
You obviously can’t fix this without getting a new phone. However, I would take a guess and say eventually more and more phones will get this issue over time. Because as the phones age glue or whatever else holds the screen to the body will wear and possibly develop this gap. Another problem is bending. Even the slightest little bend will cause a problem, even without other physical damage.
Having same issue on my att v40, once you see it it's hard to not notice it, thinking about sending it to LG for replacement.

Now that it's been mentioned I looked but luckily nothing showing up on mine
Here is my screen. What do you guys think? Hard to see those in everyday use, but def can see them here and there. To test it I suggest you put uniform grey/dark grey color image on your screen and then you'll see it. In my case basically whole right side is and issue plus top part around the notch. Thinking about sending it to LG for replacement.
Can you guys sound off on this with some pics if possible, to see how bad my case actually is?
Appreciate y'all!

Yeah, take another picture in a dark environment. I'll take some photos of mine later. I have few issues on mine also. But only visible on very low brightness and brown/grey colors. Also one very tiny almost invisible to see stuck/dead pixel.

You basically lost the lottery panel. I would exchange if i were you and it bothers you. Mine is pretty even all around except for when on low or mid brightness and on grey/brown colors.
I'll show you what mine looks like later tonight.
I don't get your argument man. If yours is pretty even you don't have an issue. I clearly do.

Re read what I said. To some degree it is not completely even. There is no such thing as perfect OLED panel, no panel is the same. Mine has it's issues, alot of it can be subjective. Your's is on the pretty bad scale in my humble opinion and it would be worth the hassle of going thru warranty repair involving sending it in, praying, and waiting a couple weeks without a device. I feel like I am repeating myself at this point, if you still want me to upload the photos it's fine. Sorry if i have a harsh tone, I have the flu.
