Vinyl/sticker to change color of front face?

My wife currently has the grey Verizon Note 2, initially, she really liked it but now decided she wants the white one.
is there any kind of stick-ons or something that one can put on the front of the phone "to change" its color i guess?
Planning to get her a white case so the back wont be an issue ^_^

You could use this which would get you a glass screen protector and change the color. All that would be left is the back door

Here are the vinyls, but idk how much of the front screen it would actually cover leaving some of the grey showing behind it.

[Q] Replacement HTC One screen colors yellowish???

My lower microphone stopped working and I contacted Tmo about it and they sent me a replacement phone. The power button on the replacement didn't have a click to it, it was soft and did not work most of the time and the screen had a yellowish or orangish tint to it compared to my original One. I contacted them and I sent back the replacement and they sent me another. This one seems functional button wise, but has the same yellowish/orange tint to the screen.
Are they replacing them with crappy screens or are they like that new? I really hate to give up my pristine phone (minus the broken mic) with a sharp bright screen (compared to the replacements) for some refurb with a sub par screen. I also have the extra warranty on it so that I can get a brand new one for $135 or something, but I am concerned no matter what I am going to get the crappy screen and have to pay for it. Whereas I can swap mine for a new/like new one from warranty? Is it possible to swap the screens? Can I send it to HTC to have them fix the mic? I can live without the phone for a week or two (have my old Sensation 4G). Having my original phone rooted, S-off, Super CID, running ARHD 20.x wouldn't have an affect on the screen color would it? It currently has 4.12 on it and my orig phone is running 4.3.
Thanks in advance!

Just send it in to htc

How does one do that? And would I have to return the phone to stock?

I am on the phone with HTC now and he says that if the bootloader is unlocked, the warranty is voided. He put me on hold to see if I will be wasting my time sending it to them.

Well that plan is out the window! He said he could not be sure if it would be covered, but he felt like they would not fix it and return it as soon as they saw it was unlocked on HTCDev.
Ok, so back to swapping screens...

TBH I had the exact same thing happen. My camera started having black spots and I got it replaced. I'm on the third one now and its a little yellower than mine but there isn't a single seam. So I said screw it, once the N5 comes out I am selling and upgrading to it. Thought about the G2 as well, but I'm not sure.

Sometimes the yellow tint is from the glue and it gets better after about a week of use. Some are just yellow though. How I know this is I had two ones. My black one was a lot more yellowish when I first got it to my silver one. I had read that sometimes it's the glue that causes it and after use it will become whiter. I was skeptical but I wanted to see of I could see any difference. To speed up the process I got one of those dead pixel apps that cycles though different colors really fast. I plugged the phone in and ran it for about 4 hours.
My results shocked me. My black one after that had a much whiter look to it and now my silver appeared to be more yellow compared. So in the end my black one ended up being brighter and having whiter whites.

They dont even look at that if the problem you are having has NOTHING to do with anything that unlocking the bootloader could possibly break. If you bricked your phone, then they check. I'm not guaranteeing that they do, but they say that it "MAY" void your warranty. For example, if your power button stops working, then they dont care. Same with your case. Unlocking the bootloader has nothing at all to do with the screen being yellow.

This happened on the iphone 5 as well. I think they're just newer units.

I am giving the stuck pixel app a shot now. Hopefully it will whiten it up the screen! I will report back later about whether it helped or not.

if you are insured, u could always smash the sh#t out of it and claim for a new one lol!!!!

But if I opt for the insurance, I may still get a phone with a yellowish screen. Then I just spent $150 to get a phone I could have gotten for free through warranty.

Just received S6 Edge - AMA

Just got my shiny new 128gb AT&T S6 Edge. Have a couple of hours to kill - feel free to ask me stuff!

I've got mine, but I'm curious does your front screen have scratch swirls all of it when you are in light?
Mine is scratched to hell on the front.

Any chance you want to attempt using CF-autoroot just in case Samsung ignored AT&T's request to lock? Figured I'd ask, despite the fact that there's virtually no chance.

No, none at all thankfully - posted some images on the scratch thread, seems picture perfect to me under all lighting conditions I've put it under so far!

Will try to do this later!

I received my black/128 today as well. Not a scratch in sight. So far loving it but still notice signs of lag. Coming from Moto X 2nd gen and HTC M9. However, it is far less than S5 and is worth it to have a great overall phone with superb camera (M9 was aweful)

How is the battery ? Could you post some pictures?

This is what I get for getting the 32GB version... should have just got the next higher one up. Seems the 32GB Edge is the only model with scratches being reported.

Well I don't blame you, the 128gb on ATT is frankly outrageously expensive.

My 128gb looks perfect.

How bad is the att bloat? Also did it come in Samsung packaging or the att boxes they have been doing in the past?

Mine appears to be just a regular Samsung box, not specifically AT&T. Also, mine doesn't have any scratches or swirls, I have the 128GB white. It's immaculate.

I've always been partial to the white phones. I'm not too keen on all the different colors. A crystal clear thinnest case available and white is my favorite. The new colors the have though are pretty nice. You'll be very happy with whatever you decide to get.

Samsung pay
Just got my White 32gb S6 edge..Not a scratch in sight! Wanted to ask you guys if you'll have heard anything about the samsung pay. The samsung rep from best buy told me sometime this summer and the live chat on the samsung website told me that its available on the S6 but not yet on the S6 Edge which doesn't make any sense!

For those of you who already have one, how does it feel to hold with the curved screen? It seems sexy as hell but I feel like it's really easy to accidentally touch the sides of the screen

It is sexy as hell! And actually only find the edges easier to grip and less slippy than the S6. So far I haven't had issues with accidental touches, and it makes swiping in side menus actually a pleasure. Some apps are also emerging that make the most of the curves which is even cooler.

ok
ok.....

Can't wait to get it!
Played with one in Costco, and I must say, just amazing! The screen is even better than my note 4, which is saying a lot! And the curves look sexy as hell! Mine will b off contract though, so I will more than likely end up getting the 64gb.
U guys should post some pics......

Yellowish display?

Anyone else's display seem to have a yellowish tint? Mine seems very yellow looking at it straight on. But when I look at it angled either from the bottom or top it looks perfectly white with just a slight bluish tint. Either way it looks much better than yellow.
So what I'm trying to figure out is of I got a bad unit and if I should go get a new one. Only reason I am even considering not exchanging is the whole "scratchgate" bs.
Anyone care to weigh in?
BTW I have the 64gb black.

Comparing mine next to my LG g3 I noticed a yellow tint as well. Not a deal breaker for me as I rarely compare screen to screen but I've owned a gs2,gs3, and gs4 and there is always some yellowish tint discussion that pops up. You can keep exchanging until you get a more bluish tone but I don't have the energy any more lol. Screen still looks great to me!!

Blame AMOLED tech. Your options right now are a slightly yellow screen with generally more accurate color reproduction or a slightly blue screen with less accurate overall color reproduction but mildly more pleasant whites (to most people).

It wouldn't be a big deal but its really bad because its centered. By that I mean when I look at all the different sides from straight on I can tell they are more blueish and it makes the center look even more yellowed. I realize the amoleds generally run warmer in tone but it seems to me that the whole screen should at least carry the same tone from the same angle. Obviously because of the curved nature the color will shift on the actual edges of the screen but everything else ought to be the same color/tone.
Or am I totally off base here?

Return your phone and get a different brand?

Doesn't really answer the question which is...
A: is it possible that my display is defective since it really only shows a warm yellow tone in the center most portion of the screen?
B: is this going to be true for all sgs6e's or is there a chance of having one where the tone is the same throughout the entire display face.
I understand color shifting and how is inevitable, but I would at least like my screen to have the same tone from top to bottom (obviously the edges will have a different tone done they are being seen at an angle when viewing the phone head on) rather than Top:Cold Middle:Warm Bottom:Cold

Just turned on Adaptive Display which seems to make the whole screen more uniform in tone temperature however angles are still a bit of a..... well..... bi*** because they remind me of the pure white coloring I've grown to know so well. But I suppose this is far more livable than before which was almost unbearable (thanks OCD).
May still try to swap for a new unit in a week or so just to see if anything has changed.

I have s6 edge too (32gigs black) (Indian Variant) and I also have the same problem. Coming from note 4 so this yellowish tint really is deal breaker for me!

you sure it isnt the adaptive screen setting?
what I found is if you are using the adaptive screen mode and reading a webpage w/ lots of text, it sometimes will change the tint to warmer which ends up with a yellowish screen instead of white, which may cause you to think that the screen is yellow (thats what I thought the first time I saw it)
try to change the screen type to some other settings and see if that get you the white color?

I am having the same problem. I know it's a defective screen because I have two S6 Edges here.
My black sapphire 32 gb has a white screen
My new gold platinum 64 gb has a yellow screen and its very annoying. I'm probably gonna exchange it

Hello . Please do tell if you use a screen protector film or glass . Cause i have the exact same problem and everybody saye it's the protector but i dont think so . It happend after a bootloop and because the phone turned too hot before i download the stock rom i decided to put it in refrigerator. Battey ran out and when It realized it the phone was too cold maybe next to 0 degree . After the flash was done I noticed the color has changed . So I'm kinda unsure

White Galaxy Note 5 Question

Hey all, I just got a white Galaxy Note on Tuesday of last week, I LOVE this thing and while I miss having root on my Nexus 6... I am still loving this device on the stock rom. (Packages Disabled) However, I am having one issue with the build and I am hoping this is just how all of the Note 5 devices are... On the back glass, where the glass meets the metal bezel on the sides... There is the slightest sliver where the white ends and you can see a sliver of black before the metal. Anyone else have this? If so, I am going to stop worrying about it. Lol.

On a white AT&T note 5 (n920A) I do NOT have any black.. the white back meets and joins directly with the silver edge trim.

Damnit... It's so small that I want to overlook it because I don't want to return mine and get one of the many other issues. Dead pixels, bad screen colors, etc.
What do you think guys? Should I swap it at T-Mobile? I picked it up in store so I imagine they'd just hand me a new one.
