[Q] Uneven color, especially on grey - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So it's my second N6 and another problem. Firts they gave me replacement phone, because back cover became unglued and battery expanded. In this replacement, screen is not even. On white webpage right edge of the screen looks much colder, than the left edge. When on dark background, like grey right edge looks blueish and left edge looks normal. I took it on sevice and they told me this is on feature, not a defect or malfunction. Is there some program/kernel/anything, which can control screen edges seperately ? If I turn adaptive brightnes off and screen on brightnes on highest, the problem is much smaller.

In my first Nexus 6 I had screen that was more bright + yellowish at the bottom and darker + pinkish at top. Shop replaced my phone without complaints.

They sent mine to service, and they told that it's feature. Now they dont't answer my messages and I'm stuck with that defective unit.

screen defect?

I just got a tilt about a week ago and ive noticed that in the middle of the screen there seems to be a purple greenish tint when put against incandescent light. The size of said glint varies in size but i'm unable to see what changes the size. Not sure if its heat or pressure or something. The touch screen works perfectly its just really annoying to always see such an annoying glint.
An interesting discovery is that when i press all four corners of the screen it disappears and when i press in the middle of the little square it seems to spread out. I feel like theres some kind of material or something in the touch screen that is causing this due to pressure. I keep it in a hard case in my pocket so the screen isnt pressed on inadvertently.
I've searched the forum for any answers but i havent seen anything about it. Any response or help would be greatly appreciated. I'll try to get a picture of it up asap but i left my camera at a friends house and dont know when im getting it back...thanks in advanced

Do you see the same "annoying glint" under neon light (not day / sunlight)?
Lots of NOKIA and SONY ERICSSON phones for example get this screen recolorization under direct sunlight - this has nothing to do with the screen being defective but with the plastic above the screen which breaks the light and shows you this colored spots. If you can't see the same spot under direct neon light then this might be the cause.
It is normal that you get color changes while pressing the screen in. First of, you press / bent the protecting plastic and the liquid within the screen which causes the incoming light to break in a different angle, therefore the color changes. (BTW: you shouldn't do that too often, it can cause permanent stains on your screen!).
There sure is the possibility that your screen gets pressure from underneath due bad assembling! If you're still under warranty, try to get a replacement.
yeah you cant see it in day light. but i feel as though there is constant pressure on the screen between the plastic and liquid since the spot is always there and doesnt really go away (unless of course in daylight).
well im thinking im going to go back for a replacement. thanks for the quick answer!

[Q] Screen getting dark; blue tint and marks behind display

My Captivate's screen has suddenly gotten much darker than usual. Even at low brightness, the image quality used to be really good and the screen was really sharp. Now, for some reason, it seems to have gotten noticeably darker and duller. Aside from that, the whites seem to be tinted blue. I know this is an existing issue with the Super-AMOLED's so I'm not too worried -- I'm thinking it was probably always tinted and I'm only noticing it now that I'm really looking. The last thing I noticed about the display is a set of odd marks behind the screen; oval-shaped markings slightly to the right of center running from top to bottom and left to right. Anyone know what these are?
Assuming you haven't flashed a kernel with the brightness fix, color fix, etc. you can get the phone exchanged through warranty for display problems. One of ours developed an issue with the tint and clarity and we had it replaced no problem.

Line on screen

Yesterday my Captivate developed a line that goes from the top of the screen to the bottom. I turned it off and pulled the battery. The line comes back the instant I turn the phone back on. It seems to take on the predominant color of the background. On a black screen it is not visible (other than on the top bar). On white text window it's bright white. On grey keyboard it's greenish.
Has anyone experienced this? I assume this is covered under warranty. I just hate to go through the grief.
I've never dropped or gotten the phone wet. It is running stock Froyo.
Sounds like your screen is defective. Sad news is that you'll have to go though warranty...

Tab s2 8" 2016 Screen issue

Hello all and thanks for reading,
Just purchased A tab s2 and loving it except for the screen (1 of the prime reasons for buying). I like to use a black background to help with battery power when I noticed that on three edges there seems to be what I initially describe as back light bleed or what Looks similar to back light bleed. 1 horizontal edge is fine.
What I'm seeing is lighter edges on the notification bar area (some edges are worse than others). As I rotate the s2 the issue changes but its always where the notification bar is and most prominent at the edges. I can only describe it as grey banding that stretches across the screen and drops about a centimetre from the top.
I went to a local Samsung repair shop and they said it was like "screen burn in, like someone used it for satnav for a three hour drive". Now that comment concerns me because now I'm thinking l'll just return it and get my money back. It's literally 3 days old.
Anyone else with this issue?
Thanks.
Return it for an exchange. OLED's don't need a backlight since the pixels themselves light up.

Yellow tint on top of the screen

While I was watching a video, I noticed a permanent yellow tint on top of my screen (where signal/time/wifi are located, in those spots). The yellow tint is permanent and it's more noticeable when the brightness is on max, especially on white screens), it doesn't go away nor it changes (for example on yellow tint, i can see some past 'time' and notifications). I am not sure how to explain it better. The phone never fell down, nor It has any damages. I have it for a year and I never had any issues.
Anyone with the same problem? I mean it's something terrible but it sometimes it's annoying.
I also wanna say, if I take a screenshot of my screen, and then check that screen on my PC for example, I don't see the yellow tint.
That's exactly how it looks: https://cdn57.androidauthority.net/...17/05/aa-imgur-galaxy-s8-burn-in-1200x675.jpg
Screen burn in, I imagine? Plus I can see my Google keyboard clearly on a fully blue screen. I wonder if the problem is just the screen or the frame underneath the screen as well. I guess it's not fixable unless you replace it...
