New phone, yellow tint

Hi,
Just received a new One, after 9 month, because the front camera died. It is refurbished but in very good condition, no scratch whatsoever.
Unfortunately it has a strong yellow tint.
Serial begins with FA35.
Do you guys know something about this problem? Is it common? Could there be some stuff on the screen from the refurbish process causing this?

From what I've read it happened to quite a few.
It's really really on the warm side lets say, but it looks yellowish to me. Definitely less easy to read.
Checked the screen manufacturer, I've got the one made by sony-toshiba (not the samsung or the sharp).
Well I'm disappointed but if there is no "fix" or efficient tinkering, I'll let it go, I'm tired of battling between broken devices and warranties these last times. Yellowish screen it'll be.
thanks for answering

Well, this is a 100% hardware issue. So, your only option would be to send for repair. But if you dont want to deal with warranties, etc, then i think you will have to live with the defective screen

again light leak and bad manufacturing quality

got today my S9 midnight black and its even worse than on the s8. light leak also on the bottom, additionally plus the light leak above front cam.
also dust in the frame of the fingerprint sensor.
oh samsung oh samsung.....
at least the stereo speakers are fantastic i have to say. display is also better balanced in white and color shift terms. not perfect but fine and acceptable but this light leaks are so annoying at evening during youtube.

My S9 doesn't have any of this./

I put the brightness at 100% in a dark room and I cannot see any light around the screen edges.
Is there a particular way to hold it?

you only need to go to settings with 100% brightness and it should be directly visible. maybe change slighlty the viewing angle but in my case this was not necessary. i have contacted samsung online shop now about this. hoping for a flawless unit.

If there's light leak it's almost certainly not water proof. Definite replacement.

I have a thread for the same issue. I have it down the sides of the device. In process of getting a replacement aswell. I'd suggest the same

That light "leak" is most likely because it's a curved glass... I'm pretty sure there is nothing Samsung can do about it except put black paint on the edge?? Which would look really tacky...
Also, you are showing it with high brightness is very low light environment... Something you would never do in real life... Wtf is your point?

My s9's earpiece crackles at medium-low volume, other than that i have no light bleed or dust anywhere. I already started the RMA process

i got same leak on top of front camera but very minimal and can see only one angle, it wont bother me, hope it wont effort water damage

I have only a little part on the front cam? can this injury waterproof resistance? can i get replaced?
It's not a big problem but if i can get replaced i will return it back from seller. I've never noticed this problem since i've seen this post.

Alright guys this thread has been cleaned, Lets keep the language down

Pink camera spot issue/ color shading

Here's a thread I made on the Nokia forums: https://community.phones.nokia.com/support/discussions/topics/7000022066
"Here's something I noticed today - taking a picture in certain low light conditions produces a pink/reddish spot in the middle of the picture.
So far I've only been able to reproduce it in my own room, with natural light coming through blue curtains on beige/brown objects.
After doing some research, it appears this issue is rather well documented on many phones from different manufacturers, the Galaxy S2, S5, Xperia phones. Some sources say it might just be an issue with all smartphone sensors, referred to as "color shading", some just hide it better. My old Galaxy S3 appears to have it too, although nowhere near to the same extent. If I may, here's a couple links from androidcentral and xda of people talking about it.
What I'm wondering now is how widespread this is on the Nokia 8 in particular and whether there's any hope of having it better after a replacement. Interestingly enough, the front camera doesn't have that issue, even if it might be the same sensor (is it?), but maybe it's due to the optics too, which are probably quite different.
It also appears possible to compensate for it in the software, so I wonder what are the chances of that in case it's common on the Nokia 8.
I'll try adding a few examples I took in the comments. "

They haven't approved my pictures there yet, so here's an imgur album - https://imgur.com/a/VccdP
Apparently it happens on certain black fabric and not only in natural light.

I replased my phone to new one for that reason...this was 6 months ago.
Its the sony image sensor issue same as xperia z3

So there are variances between devices then. How bad was your first phone and how much did the new one improve? Any chance you could try taking a photo of a worst example? Say black fabric in a dimly lit room.

The pink spot was clearly visible in mousebad...bow its better image from this one coming soon.

Nro:1 nokia camera app
Nro:2 open camera , iso speed 500
So its stil there.

Opencamera raw

I guess that does look a little better. Maybe.. Difficult to tell how much the scenarios match. Either way, I've turned the phone in for warranty, will see what happens.

Can you update us what happens? I just got this phone too and have the same issue sadly though the local Nokia agent isn't a very strong one I don't think they'll replace my handset. Anyway anyway out of curiosity... What color are your phones that are making this issue? Mine is the copper and I think that's the issue some how

Today morning we look go worker nokia 8 128gb version it has pinky too.

Mine was tempered blue. I very highly doubt the color has anything to do with it.
Nothing to say so far, will probably hear back next week. I'm only wondering if they got the idea that it's happening on all the pictures, as I only showed the bad examples and didn't note 'low light' in the problem description. I hope they're able to reproduce the issue themselves.

I managed to solve it by contacting Nokia support, they told me to hold the volume up button and power button to clear cache.
After that the pink shade went completely, I couldn't replicate it at all.
Another thing I was wondering is are the lenses exactly centered on the hole opening of the lenses? Mine isn't exactly centered
Look closely to the picture attached. Could this be the culprit?

My upper sensor not fully center.

Are you sure? I restored factory settings before bringing it in and it didn't change a thing.
And I can't really tell with the picture at an angle. I never noticed anything like it on my phone. Not completely centered across the length of the phone or the width?

I did factory reset too that didn't help though! The volume up and power button helped though.
Not centered as in the lense itself inside the round circle isn't centered! Check the bottom lense in the picture I attached. The lense is slightly shifted downwards

Sounds almost too good to be true, but I've got no way to test it out right now. Any chance you could take some pictures where it would've been visible before? Say a black mouse pad or whatever.
Yeah, I can see that. May have to do with where the sensor rests since that's the stabilized color one? Try seeing how it is when taking a video.

I got my phone back. Of course, the service center couldn't replicate the issue. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt as it's not easy to notice, even if I did try explaining the situations where it's the most visible. Oh well. I never noticed it on my SIII in four years, though it's not as clear, so I guess I'll just live with it.
Also clearing the cache made no difference no matter how many times I tried.

So its still there?

Yes, nothing changed. I got my old phone back, not a new one, just to clarify.

I am going to make sure that repair nan can see the spot in my phone...modules are going to chance so many times that there is no pinky.

Good luck. I'm honestly doubtful you can find one with no pink spot. Maybe minimally visible at best.

Yellow tint on the bottom of the screen

Seems some of users have this defect and it would be nice to see how many are affected, I know there's another thread but I felt this issue needed a proper poll.
I have it too, it's only noticeable on white or nearly white backgrounds like in the settings app, it's a slight yellow/Amber tint covering around 1/5 of the bottom part of the screen, starting gradually and ending at the bottom.
Take a quick look by opening the settings menu, and having a close look, it might not be noticeable at first.
it might not be noticeable with very high brightness
Please let us know if you have this issue.

I have a slight issue in the display where the top left corner seems distorted as if the display is getting folded.

I guess the quality control is somewhat sub par, I'm leaning towards not sending my unit in as everything else works fine, and the tinting is mostly not noticeable.
I guess they have some issues gluing the display into the frame and it gets slightly distorted.

Yep! It's minor issue and the phone is excellent otherwise which is why I too am not bothering with claims or anything as such.

I exchanged mine and got a nearly perfect screen,
What I would suggest is try to go to your local phone repair shop and ask them to put it under the Ultraviolet Light for 10 mins. It should help since phones use UV activated adhesive (LOCA/OCA)

How perfect is nearly perfect?
And how would the UV-light help the issue?

Even i changed mine n its 2nd n7p. Still the yellow tint is present on this one but little less than the previous one. So sticking with it.. may be some live display or configurable colour settings would help if Nokia (hmd) put it on android p.
Or even in further near update . Otherwise m going to nokia care next month. Lets see what happens

Mine looks like this, it's very slight, how does it compare to yours? I don't think I want to risk getting a replacement.
I have to say it looks worse on the picture than in real life.

Yes like this only but mine is little less. On the 1st one it was exactly the same as urs.. but now on 2nd one its half of that yellowish

I had this, exchanged, got a new one with slightly less of the issue but still present. It's slowly going away with time, think it may be similar to some phones in the past where the glue hadn't completely set and required some heat from the panel being on, or possibly UV from the sun, to go clear.

I have it, but it's only really noticable at very low brightness and on completely white backgrounds. Even then it's pretty subtle. Sad, that this "premium" midrange phone has such a problem.

I sent mine back, it was bugging me too much, I even took a measurement with my Spyder3 calibrator, and comparing the top and bottom portions of the screen, I measured a delta E of 7.41 on a perfect white background.
I'm no expert but according to wiki and other resources 2-5 already indicates that is a heavy discoloration and is perceived as another color/tone, so it definitely wasn't just in my eyes.
I will try my luck with another unit, and if it has the same issue I will just leave it be.

Do you still have the problem (as of July)?

HI! I was just about to buy the Nokia 7 Plus, But now I am worried about this screen tinting problem that everyone seems to be complaining about. Can you please tell me if you still have the problem? Has anyone found a solution?

As of July 2018, do the products still have this issue?
Thank you.

It is hardware issue some part of phones, software update is not a solution. You have lucky and get phone without it, or you are out of luck and get it with yellow tint. Simple.

light bleeding through

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.
