that doesnt look too good
Surely this can be fixed with an update to give an option for colour temperature though...

Make sure yours is not in econo mode. It takes all the pretty colors away and places a pee looking filter on everything. (but hey it does save some power )

According to one review I read, the prime is "Brighter, blacker blacks, decreased glare, and less backlight bleed on the Prime."

The TFP is on balanced mode in the pic. I see no difference visually between performance and balanced mode. I can see the color difference in econo mode though.

My screen isnt that yellow... The colors are ok but my touchpad is on par with it. Backlight bleed is still an issue with the Prime, just hope your one of the lucky ones with no bleed.
I have backlight bleed but its not too bad, i can deal with it.
I usually just run my prime with the lowest brightness setting with super ips mode turned on... Looks good and also saves power (i get good battery), plus i can perfectly see the screen in any condition unless im at the beach...

Could someone make some screen pictures of the 1st gen Transformer next to the Prime? I'm really curious how these compare colour wise.

Hey, this is really similar to the issue the iPad and iPhone had in the beginning.
iPad 2 News: What’s That Yellow Blotch On The iPad 2 Screen
Put simply, that means the glue holding the glass together is not completely dry. So if your iPad 2 is suffering from a case of yellow fever, don’t rush back to the store and try to exchange it. (Good luck with that, since waiting times for delivery of new units are now 2-3 weeks.) Just use it for a few days and the blotch should disappear, just like those on the iPhone 4.

I got my Prime yesterday, the first thing I noticed is the screen are very yellowish comparing to my old TF101.
I did took a few pictures but coz I'm a newbie I can't post links in my reply, if anyone wants to see it I can PM you the link or helping me post the links.

I was able to get two Primes. One from gamestop and one from Adorama. The grey one from amazon had a yellowish tint and made the gold one from adorama look amazing in comparison . They both have light leakage but I can only see it during bootup. imo if you are unhappy with the colors of the screen then send it back and pray for a better one. I think from now on I'm going to buy more than one and keep the better of the two. I also think the wifi is a little better on the gold one, but both are weak in comparison to my galaxy 10.1. I do find the prime to be a bit faster and smoother than the Samsung . I think the first thing anyone should install is thumbs keyboard best AP by a long shot.

I might be going crazy, but it does seem like the yellow on my 5 day old prime is slowly going away.

Maybe its the same issue the iphone 4/4s had where the glue has to dry? I know my 4s was yellow when I got it but now I dont see any yellow.

I think it has more to do with color temperature than anything. I get headaches staring at overly cool temps, so a yellow tint actually ends up being a bit of a plus in my book...

Make sure you are on balance mode... the colors are much better and less yellow.

Agreed. Samsung is notorious for very cold screens. The screen on my Epic 4G Touch is downright blue, particularly noticeable when reading ebooks. By contrast, the screen on my Motorola Photon is much warmer and hence whites are better. Given a choice between a bit of a blue bias and a little yellow, and I'll take the latter any day.

Is the screen made by multiple manufacturers? With my HTC Sensation, Sharp makes some of the panels, and AUO makes the rest, and the Sharp panels are by far better than the yellowish AUO panels. Just throwing out a possible explanation.

Got my 32gb champagne Prime today. And also noticed the yellow screen. Don't know what store it came from because I bought it for ebay.
Coming from a Galaxy tab 10.1 and can compare them side by side the Prime is yellow and Galaxy tab is white.
Had a Motorola Xoom before and that also had this yellow stuff, not as much Prime but it was there.
Maybe I noticed the yellow more now because I coming from Samsung white screens.
Hopes it gets better with time because I have no chance to go and change it because it bought over ebay. Maybe it's the clue hat someone mentioned, may tab has been out on a journey over the seas and is cold and tiered so maybe when it have got som warm and rest it will perform better

Within the first week of the evo3d launch, I decided to return my telesales EVO3D to sprint retail store due to lockups (battery pull). The Encino, CA Sprint store employees were a bunch of tighty whitey types, but nonetheless, they exchanged it out after 20 min of going back n forth.
The new phone at first glance appeared NORMAL, but once i started setting up my evo to the way i liked it (within minutes), i noticed a brown/yellow hue to the screen, specifically towards the whites. At first i thought my eyes were playing tricks and i was tripping out,.
Long story short, I couldn't get over it. I dealt with for a few days and decided no effen way, is this the epson vs novatec bull all over again? So i posted and at first, nobody really noticed, even those with multiple evo's... But recently, I see more and more threads about this very exact thing.
With term.emu, i decided to go through all the evo3d's in my possession, total of 4 (returns for locks, and 1 for defective charge input)..
what i found is that Novatec is building screens for sharp or in some fashion assisting. 1 Panel Type appeared as NOVATEC === SHARP NT or something.. and the rest have all been SHARP.
2 out of 4 EVO'd has the yellow hue affect and the other 2 had the bright white or fake white effect.
side by side comparison with brightness @ 100% showed the yellow hue screen to be somewhat more realistic as opposed to the bright white (Fake white). But, that doesnt mean, at least for me, it looked better. The bright whites were more attractive to me.
I also noticed 2 different MircoSD brand. SANDISK and KINGSTON class 4. Testing showed the both performed the same, read/writes up to 15MB/s per the windows file transfer of a 1.6 gig movie. (how accurate windows is not important bc it simply is the baseline as they both performed the same)
now for the pictures. .. my camera couldn't pick up the fine color difference like the naked eye, but here is a peak.. in real life, the yellow is much much more apparent.

Thanks for this..I was upset with the yellow-ish tint with my 3vo but after having it for a week it seems easier on the eyes.Then i used my wifes evo4G with the bright fake looking whites and im happy with the warm tint.
But now we have some better proof with your photos,thanks.
I have probably watched every youtube about this device and I noticed exactly what you took pictures of.
I have the whiter variety, thankfully.

Im sorry to say this .. but i love my EVO and HTC quality control here is just BAD.. hands down (their own pants cuz they are jerking away)
how many people on the boards are reporting some sort of defect.. from charging, locks, display (Dead pixels, white dots, dust) ..
I never went through 4 phones on my OG-E.. I truely wonder if most of this crap is sw related.. if so, cant wait to root this bs away.
I have the bright white screen. I have no complains about it.

I have a H/W 0002 with "PANEL_ID_SHR_SHARP_NT" and yellow looking whites. It is annoyingly yellow, however the white balance is very natural. Human eyes are easily fooled into thinking things are "whiter" when a blue tint is applied, so it's only natural we feel the blueish tinted ones are better. However I'd take accurate color reproduction over my immature reaction of "yucky", so I'm happy.
Its apparent that others are not happy with the phones they have and are replacing them.
My 4th seems to not have any defects, no freezing or locks yet. Seems like 4th time is the charm here. It not suppose to take 4 phones to be happy though.
Thanks to all these posts I have now noticed that i have a yellow screen. Thanks for giving me something to be obsessed about.

[Q] Galaxy SII blueish tint on screen, anyone?

Hi,
Just got my Galaxy SII today.
Compared to my old LG Optimus 2X, the screen is very dim, although very colorful. The whites are incredibly blue, as can be seen here:

The Optimus (to the left) is with automatic brightness enabled, and the SII (to the right, duh!) is with brightness set to max, manually.
The screen seems VERY blue compared to the Optimus.
Is this normal with the SII?

There's definitely color variations across different examples of the phones ranging from cool to warm. The warm seems to bug people more than the cool. In this long and painful thread you can see some pics of other phones side-by-side to see where yours falls.

Mine's on the cool side but I can't tell from the way you took the pic how different it is from yours. There's some pics of mine in the above thread.

I had a G2X, the O2X's bastard relation. I liked the G2X display but thought the contrast was just OK and it didn't perform well in daylight. The SGS2 screen because of the black-blacks and exaggerated colors took some getting used to. After two months, I look at an LCD display now and go ewww. You'll probably feel the same way when you get over the shock. Watch a movie, that'll make you feel better

I appreciate your input, although the blue is so bad, it gives people in the vids a kind of smurf-ish look.
And besides that, the off-center viewing angle makes the blue tint even worse. The reviews praise the wide viewing-angle, which is as arrow as about 30-40 degress before the colors gets distorted.
ammm,,,i dont think that that much bluish tint is normal,,,,u sure u dint get a faulty handset??i mean yeah super amoled plus has a bit of a bluish tint,,,,but man! thats too much blue....(ps-i compared mine to some lcd screens so dont tell me to place it beside one)

As you can see, you can't move the camera much before the colors go even more smurf.
I think the blue tint is related to the Super AMOLED Plus technology.

yes,,Amoled technology alwayz had this issue,,,its very slight,,,u can not notice it that easily,,,but that much blue is not normal...
It actually seems as you'll have to look at the phone from a very straight angle, as only a few degrees will result in the blueish colors. And the weird part is - going a few degrees further will result in normal-ish colors (yet still very dim) - and afterwards turn into blueish again, "the rest of the way", if you catch my drift.
I'd go blue over yellow any day. But that's too blue and whoever you bought it from would have to be blind to not see it; return it. I hope you didn't buy it off eBay...

Got my galaxy s2 couple of days ago from expansys, it has no blue tint or yellow left side, the only thing it has is on lowest brighness setting on grey background bottom right corner you can barely see some kind of ring like shadow . Good thing you can only see it under that situation only.
Feel bad for others with blue tint and yellow side , get replacement ?
My captivate(SGS 1) and SGS2 both have same even whites.
Hard to see even harder to photograph shadow ring.
The ring thing is called the "coin syndrome".
The service center wouldn't acknowledge the blueishness as a defect, even though my phone compared to a demo GSII was an electronic smurf.
The blue tint is probably from the Gorilla Glass coating.

Need help figuring out if I have a bad prime screen

Hi guys.
Ever since I got my prime I was really dissapointed by the color and sharpness of the screen on my prime. I bought a nook color for $170 for my mom and the screen on that one looks much more sharp and the colors stronger and more accurate. Like when I watch the simpsons on the prime, the yellow color look more grey than yellow, basically like a grey layer ontop of the colors.
I know the prime screen is not supposed to have super vibrant colors like samsung screens, but it is almost painful to watch south park or simpsons on it because it looks really bad. I own a lot of devices, and my prime screen looks the worst in my opinion. My friends also agree that it doesn't look right, but sadly I can't find anyone with a prime near me to compare.
So I was wondering if anyone can take a few pictures of colors next to any of their other devices, or describe how you experience the prime screen compared to your other devices. I heard people say that the prime screen has more "accurate" colors than vibrant. But I don't feel like the colors are "accurate" when colors look more grey than the colors they are supposed to be. Any help is appriciated!
Tried taking some pictures but the camera doesn't pick up how it really looks.

Thats just how the colors are. In my house hold i have a "new iPad", T-Prime, Galaxy Note and a Galaxy Tab and also a PS Vita. I've seen the Prime on display at numerous locations and its the same as mine.
Obviously Samsung has very saturated colors compared to other. But even to the iPad the colors seem off.
I didn't notice until i compared it to other devices though. But i guess if you aren't into punch colors especially Red,Green,Blue then it won't bother many.

About the Nexus S: Thats the Super-AMOLED phenomenon. It doesn't look "real" but it looks really colorfull. Some people say "saturated" some say "over saturated".
I saw a comparison of video quality between the Ipad 2 and Ipad 3 on Cnet... even when you compare those two devices Ipad 2 colors look way off. It seems every display-type has it's own "colorscheme".
Just enjoy it, and don't compare it. It's a Mindkiller ;-)
That's normal on primes. I have an acer a100 and the colors are deeper compared to my prime.
The pale colours when you are watching videos on the prime is due to the dynamic contrast kicking in.
When you play a video on the prime, it automatically switches on dynamic contrast which regulates colour saturation and back light intensity to save power.
A way way to catch it in action is to have a video running and then hit the home button straight away without stopping the video. You'll notice the screen's colour intensity will change slowly back to normal.
Unfortunately I don't think there is a way to disable it and it seems to run regardless of what performance profile and tips mode you have the screen in.
Thanks for all answers guys! I found that putting the tablet in normal mode while watching videos on diceplayer stops the dynamic contrast kicking in on some video files. Was watching south park today and when I went from balanced to normal mode, suddently the guys went from having sorta white faces to more natural looking ones.
I don't see this different in all video files, which is a bit strange. Most of the time I see no different between balanced and normal mode. I also noticed when I haven't rebooted in a while that the colors look kinda bad even though I have on normal mode, like the dynamic contrast thing kicks in when it shouldn't. Wish there was a way to turn this off. Like, watching simpsons now on normal mode look not too bad actually, but yesterday watching the same file, then the colors seemed more off.
Putting it on power saving mode makes all video files look bad.

Back cover flex - sounds cheap

Really like the N10 but this makes build quality seem a little shoddy.
It's annoying to hear the click every time its re-positioned in my hands.
Might just be a defective unit, mine doesn't do that at all.

I'd like more people chime in and let me know if it's worth the RMA or something really common with a lot of them.

Mines fine here too
This wouldn't bother me anyway tbh. I'm concerned about bad backlight bleed.
Same here, no flex.
You press on your car hood and it's going to dimple and make noise too. Are you going to RMA it too?

it's irritating simply because its noticeable every time you switch hands or re-position the N10 in your hands--something you do often while holding a 10" slab of glass that weighs over a pound for an extended period of time.
If the hood on my car made a sound every time i turned i would probably RMA it too.
I'll be honest though, i am torn on a RMA because i think a lot of people return too many items driving up the cost for everyone. I'd never return something because the screen looks uneven with a pure black image in a completely dark room because it's something i'd never notice in regular use.
If it was just flex i wouldn't give a crap but the sound however is hard to ignore when reading or browsing the web in a quiet environment.

Is not uneven, it's areas of the screen that are much brighter than others on a black screen.
You would notice it in normal usage if your planning on watching dark videos on it.
I agree, slight bleed is ok because you won't notice it at a lower brightness level in the dark.
However bad backlight bleed where a reasonably big portion of the screen is alot brighter than the rest would be very distracting whilst watching a dark film.
I have a bit a flex (well, its not flex, more like its hollow underneath) right around the 'S' area of the Nexus. But i dont care.

If I really push I get a slight click. As I don't push on the back of my device with force too often I'm not seeing it as a problem.
I was more concerned about dead pixels. I have none, I do have some light bleed though but since its only noticeable in the dark when I have brightness up maybe 25% its not a problem as it is only noticeable at 100% brightness
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I noticed today I have this flex in the back too. I also have some bleed in both bottom corners and a small amount at the top. None of this is really bad enough to bother me that much. I was just wondering if there could be any correlation between this flex and light bleed. Anyone that doesn't have the flex, do you have light bleed?
Mine just came in about an hour ago. The little bit of light bleed I can live with, but the back cover looks like somebody stepped on it in the middle, there is significant bowing, and associated creaking and popping.
Already processed an RMA with Google, replacement should be on the way.
But other than that, this thing rocks so far.

I'll be honest though, i am torn on a RMA because i think a lot of people return too many items driving up the cost for everyone. I'd never return something because the screen looks uneven with a pure black image in a completely dark room because it's something i'd never notice in regular use.
If it was just flex i wouldn't give a crap but the sound however is hard to ignore when reading or browsing the web in a quiet environment.

Bro, do the RMA. That's not normal, on mine there's a slight give when firm pressure is applied. It feels natural though, like that's what's supposed to happen when that much pressure is applied. You definitely can't feel any play or hear any clicking noises while handling it. I get that your trying to be considerate and everything but there's a limit, you paid good money for the device, don't sell yourself short.
If you can take the back off, maybe you can take a hairdryer to it and gently melt it flat. Can't say I know anyone who's tried this though, just a random thought

Can someone confirm about bleeding light on the left edge/corner of the 2nd screen?

Im about to buy a V10 but I has heard about bleeding light on the left edge/corner of the 2nd screen. Is it happen on all the v10 or just some and I can exchange for a new one if it happen to me?
It's all of them...is only noticeable really when the screen is off in a dark room....not a deal breaker for me...this phone is awesome!
Well, its an issue on all v10s, and personally I don't mind it. It winds up looking like a gradient from the top right corner that occupies roughly 5-10% of the main screen, with no line or anything between the first screen and the second screen. I would take a pic for you, but I don't have a camera that can pick it up. What you could do is go into a store and cover the phone with like a jacket or something and look under there while its off to see if you have an issue with it.

Mine definitely has the light bleed that people are talking about but sometimes when i turn the screen off it isn't as noticeable. Doesn't really bother me though
Why is this an issue? It's kinda like just trying to find something wrong!

Doing that in a store will make you look very suspicious
It'll look like you're trying to steal the phone lol :laugh:
Anyhow it's there but it's really not a big deal
I switch off the second screen at night, I set it to private mode anyway :good:

well it's literally a hardware issue, I think I will just go to a store and test it, If it is not a big deal, then I will buy it or wait till LG fix it because I saw some look that pretty bad on youtube
Mine has it as well but it doesn't bother me one bit. One of the perks to having a backlit screen but the trade off is great for direct sunlight viewing

Well, you could let the store associates know about it first. [emoji13]

As the others have said, it's definitely there. It all boils down to personal preferences - it's definitely there on mine and it can be a little annoying at times but I love the phone enough to overlook it. Just basically becomes what you're willing to look the other way on.
Mine has the light bleed ... but it's only noticeable in a dark room when the screen goes dark - then for the next 30 seconds the second screen stays lit and you see the light bleed. Once the 30 seconds passes, the second screen dims and the light bleed is nearly impossible to see.
3 of my associates have this phone and 2 of them do not have any light bleed at all. It doesn't seem to matter if it's an AT&T or Verizon version - some have no bleed, some do.
It shouldn't bother you. Then again, if you're anything like one of my OCD associates, it might make you insane, as he returned 2 of them till he got one that didn't have any bleed.
Mine has it too. I don't think it's a deal-breaker but you will notice it in a completely dark room.
Here's a photo showing it.

This was taken in a completely dark room with a 10 second exposure, at pretty much the worst angle for seeing the bleed.
I can see it on mine in a dark room only. Doesn't bother me one bit
I've gone through 3 devices. The first two were both from an 11/15 batch of phones, and had very noticeable light bleed, with one even having some on the upper left of the main screen as well. On these phones, you could notice it even with lights on as the icon on the left of the second screen was noticeably brighter/more vivid than the rest of the icons, which looked pale and washed out. The third phone is from a 12/15 batch, and is much better. It shows a slight bit of bleed like the picture in the post above, but none on the main screen. The light bleed it does have is really only able to be seen at night in a dark room. Otherwise you can't tell at all and that screen's blacks are just as inky black as the rest of the screen.
LoL. yea i noticed it too. reminds me of my very old CASIO watches when u press the light button to see the digital screen at night. However, not a deal breaker at all. i barely notice it every now and then

how do you know the batch of the phone?
i also notice the light when i looking direct/normal at the screen should I get replacement? i just got it today kind of sad i talk to LG about it they say should I get new phone at the store apparently is a known issue for them
Mine has it also but it is visible only in completely dark room with main screen off and second screen is bright. If both screens are on or second screen is dim (i use auto brightness so this is the case most of the time) it is not visible. It does not annoy me at all. Now i use nillkin leather quick cover case so it is not visible at all because main screen turns on automatically by opening the cover.
