while surfing the web looking at a white backround my note 4 turned a pinkish hue within a couple seconds... has this ever happend to anyone? does disabling auto adjust screen tone solve the problem?
We're you outside in the sun when this happened?
was in my room with the lights off in the daytime
heres a pic left hand side when it turned pink and right hand side normal white color!

I wonder if with the same settings and in same light condition, screen changing color again as you described. I think if that happens it could be problem not with screen but with calibration of automatic color tone adjustment, if enabled on your phone.

Whoa! Never had THAT happen. Ouch that looks hirrid. I've had a slight pink/purple hue but in direct sunlight doesn't look nearly as that bad tho wow. I spoke to Samsung for 40 minuite yesterday and they don't think it's normal. They did give me a solution which I tried and seemed to work with the little bit of sun I had yesterday before it went down. Today I will check good got my ticket # so I would be calling back to Note 4 Techs
It's happened to me a a few times, but only with Chrome browser. If I move to another app or go home it goes away.
Idk I might just keep mine. It isn't nearly as bad as the pics I've seen. It's sliiight and only in white color. Every single one else has very good color.
Sent from another Galaxy! Note the difference!
When I'm outside, with direct sunlight shining on the screen, the screen turns really bright with pink hues. I've tested it a few times, and it only happens when I have it on auto brightness and the screen is facing the sun. Turning off auto brightness solves the problem, so I think it has something to do with software, should I be worried?
If their tech support doesn't think it's normal, geez, I'd go to the store, try to duplicate the problem there, have them see if they can duplicate the issue with another phone there and if it doesn't do it, exchange the darn thing.

This is feature. It allow you to read screen in direct sunlight. I have read that is increase brightnes from little over 400 cd/m2 to over 700 cd/m2. It only works in auto brightnes mode.
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app
I suspect it is doing this on purpose as darekz said. It's probably boosting the brightness of only the red and green subpixels, which causes the pink tint. The blue subpixels don't get boosted since it would further shorten their already short lifespan. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OLED#Disadvantages

I really liked the brightness tweak with the ultra low brightness setting.
There's a Screen Filter app in the market which seems to do the same thing, I haven't seen any posts about it here so I thought I'd share.

Nice find! I was getting ready to make this if it wasn't on the market already. I noticed that the alarm clock had a dark filter overlay when you set it to night mode which is darker than the lowest brightness setting.

1)If i put it on very low can it damage the screen? (AMOLED, Super AMOLED, LCD-TFT, S-LCD)
2)What is the maximum limit? (The device's maximum / More than the maximum / Less than the maximum)

Great app!
Any chance you could add some kind of (customizable) color adjustment as well? When I reduce brightness my amoled gets very redish and I'd like to reduce that effect
I didn't write the program unfortunately!

Not on LCD panels, this app adds a gray tint to the colors, your back light is still on at whatever level the "brightness" setting is on the phone.
EDIT: I got to the thread from the XDA-portal and just realized this is a AMOLED phone thread, as posted below, on AMOLED screens, darker screen means less power consumption from the display. Not sure what the app itself would use, tho. As in CPU processing.
It should give more battery life with our SAMOLED screens because each pixel glows to give brightness/color, so if it's darker then it should be using less energy. It's not like LCD where you're pumping backlight through the display.
Anybody know how to integrate this into Tasker?
Eg: IF brightness=10 THEN Open App Screen Filter ELSE Close App Screen Filter
I'm looking into it, but wondered if anyone has already done it to save me a bit of time
This app has been around on the market for a fairly long time actually.
I discovered it when I typed "dimmer" in the market search, and found this.
Guys today i was outdoor.....i was using the phone in bright sunlight i could see some vertical dotted line(single line) which moves horizontally when i tilt the phone.......i'm wondering whether it is a display issue or because of the screen protector...............at indoor it is normal i dont see any kind of lines.......only when bright sunlight directly falls on it i am experiencing the issue.........please Comment thanks

if put extra protector on pre-installed one from sony that might be because of that.
if not i should say i didn see anything like this on any phones! (my experience)
and cause it has high density of pixel i must not have any effect or react on straight sun-light !!!

Your new one will be the same. They all are when fully bright I've found.
Indeed. The colors return to normal indoors, though. I have no idea how HTC didn't spot this problem.
This isn't a problem it is to help with outdoor visibility it's similar to what sgs4 does when you enable it on a custom kernel

No, mine literally has a problem. I can't take a picture of it right now cause it's not doing it, but it flickered and became washed out. The reds would be orange, orange would be yellowish, and yellow would be nearly white.
This happens to all my Ones in the sun. Not indoors. Brightness doesn't matter, colors get washed out in the sun.
Wonder how none of the reviewers noticed that.

Happens to mine too. It gets really brighter i guess or the colors. (not really sure how to describe it).
A temporary fix I found:
As soon as you unlock and it happens, place your thumb over the sensors (the two dots on the top left next to your speaker) and it should automatically adjust back. :good:
Mine does this in the sun also. Becomes super bright then settles back down.

I thought there might be something wrong with mine. Glad to see that isn't the case.
Hopefully some way can be found to stop the screen from going to that "maximum brightness" level. I've used the method mentioned earlier of covering the brightness sensor but that's a temporary fix...

You have no idea how happy I was to read this. I never even thought to check my power settings and wondered why my One wasn't nearly as bright as my wife's Evo LTE.
I just got the Mi3 a few days ago and the first thing I noticed was a very minor defect- a pattern at the bottom of the display which was only visible on white screens.
Here is a picture of it (move your head a bit away from the monitor and look hard at the very bottom edge of the display to see it):

I guess this is where the backlight LEDs are placed and the pattern is formed due to it. This pattern is less visible when looking directly but it can be seen well enough while tilting the screen a bit.
It is a very minor issue to me as it is visible only on white screens/screens with bright colours but it is still a bit annoying while browsing, reading an ebook, etc.
So, it this present on all Mi3s due to the way the phone is manufactured or is my Mi3's LCD defective?

Snapdragon. it is not bright like on top or sides but also not dark in "waves" like on picture
So, this defect had started to annoy me a bit and I took my phone to the Mi service center(Egmore, Chennai). I showed this problem to them and right away they recognised it and told me that this was present on all Mi3s and it wasn't a defect. They handed me over another Mi3 which they had and, sure enough, it also had the same "problem".
I wonder why no reviewer has mentioned this defect though and why there isn't a lot of talk about this. There has been a little talk about the gradual darkening of the screen from top to bottom(which I have recently noticed in mine too). I guess people aren't that bothered about it. :silly:
My mi3 also has this thing. Its not a defect. Try seeing a teardown of the device and u will see that the display leds are located at the bottom in the same pattern as you see those black shadows. This is completely normal.
Hey everyone,
I've been noticing this weird thing with my Note. When I go under the sun and its bright, my screen becomes completely over saturated!

Yeah, that's when the screen goes into super turbo boost mode lol.
When Automatic Brightness is turned On, the Galaxy Note 4 reaches an impressive 750 cd/m2 in High Ambient Light, where high Brightness is really needed – it is the brightest mobile display that we have ever tested. As a result of its high Brightness and low Reflectance, the Galaxy Note 4 has a Contrast Rating for High Ambient Light that ranges from 100 to156, the highest that we have ever measured for any mobile display.

And just so you might wonder why the screen is so dark lol
Super Dimming Mode
The Galaxy Note 4 also has a Super Dimming Mode that allows the Maximum Screen Brightness to be set all the way down to just 2 cd/m2 (nits) using the Brightness Slider. This is useful for working comfortably without eye strain or bothering others in very dark environments, or affecting the eye’s dark adaptation, such as when using a telescope. The display still delivers full 24-bit color and the picture quality remains excellent.

Happened to me today, but everything was still legible....looks crazy at first....thought my screen was talking a s***. But yes it is a feature that needs some tweaking, but apparently as long as auto brightness is Not selected it won't switch like that in bright sunlight. Looks kinda like a negative polarization effect with a bright wash.
And are ya switching phones or swapping for another note....because the "issue" will be on any note 4

Isn't that setting for auto brightness? I want it to adjust brightness from light to dark rooms. But I don't want super nuclear mode in the sunlight. Looks terrible. Was trying to shoot pictures the other day with the sun at my back and I wasn't sure if it was the camera acting up or the screen. Only after I took the pictures and reviewed them later (indoors) did I realize they were ok. They need to fix this.
I love this feature. If you hover your finger over anything it puts a shadow over it. Pretty tight imo
Im not the biggest fan of this, it makes everything look really weird, especially when your trying to film something or take a photo as its hard to see what its actually going to look like. But i guess it does make the screen more visible. FYI disabling auto adjust screen tone makes no difference
