Im coming from an X2 and i have to say the white color looks horrible its almost got a brown tint. Is this because of amoled? On my X2 when you turn the screen on the colors look white, crisp and clear on razr they look horrible.
I know about auto brightness and all that but this is weird is this normal for amoled?
Is there anyway to set thresholds on auto-brightness? Why does the white look so bad when dimmed?
I would compare it to another razr, maybe at a vzw store. I came from an x2 as well & I don't notice any strange tint even though the whites are more muted on the amoled screen.

When I look at images or videos, whites look fine to me. They look muted/tinted looking at email and webpages though, but after a few days it looks normal.
Ya its mostly in general UI areas for instance i use handcent sms and when the popup window comes up the white text area for the reply just looks really bad, really dark and funky...ya im gonna take it to VZW for comparison...it just seems so weird coming from X2, it almost seems like the X2 screen looked brighter/sharper/better im only on day 2 with razr but the screen thing is just kinda weird.
Are all amoled screens like this? Is it to conserve power?
Compare it to some other Razr, I really like colors on mine. On LCD screens they do seem to look more natural, but I like how they pop out on this amoled. Easier to read in outside light conditions, plus it's an eye candy every time I turn on the screen. I could stare at it, doing nothing, for hours .

It's not so much normal for AMOLED as it is normal for the RAZR's Pentile layout. I liken it to looking at a 3D image without glasses.

Ya i just went to store to compare and its the same at the store, whats weird is the NEW white model Razr the screen seemed a bit brighter and whites looked cleaner. All were set to auto bright in same lights...Also compared to Galaxy Nexus and i found the GN screen worst than razr in washout effect. Also UI a bit choppy im thinking of switching but now not sure GN seemed cheap the battery cover just snaps on and off with these little clips you have rip off like a door panel...weird
Matt,
You might remember me from the x2. I'm on the razr now too. It's not you or your phone. I know exactly what you're talking about. Market is a prime example.
I guess I'll take it to get true blacks. It is the AMOLED.

Ya Mista i remember you...
Ya im not crazy,
too me it looks terrible i showed my girlfreind this new "amazing phone" and the first thing she said is why does the screen suck. Everyone is saying the colors pop ect...i think this screen sucks and so does the GN i might bail for the HTC rezound at least it has some good development going on and a faster processor im not sure im just not liking this screen. Very Disappointing in a "Flagship Phone"
What are the chances that this can be fixed with software updates? I think 1% chance maybe, i just wish VZW would carry a better stock of phones why not the SGS2 why does VZW have to be so weird about what phones they carry.
Ya the market looks horrible...dog$hit
I don't think a software update can fix how AMOLED's produce colors. I know what you're talking about. Give it a few days and see if you adjust to it. Definitely a huge difference from the bionic/x2. I'm getting used to it.
Another thing -- load a black web page and look for the blotches. Found that last night.

Hi guys, I have a really general question. What color do your buttons light up? The ones on the bottom, the menu, home, back, search buttons. I just bought a refurbished I777 and they are this off white, kind of yellow color.
Every other version of the S2, the skyrocket, the Tmobile version, has this really nice white/blue color. Went to an AT&T store today but they said they have never had a display model of the S2 for me to compare.
I even got a replacement refurb today thinking mine was defective, but its the same color! This ugly yellow color can't be right...can it?
Yes they're an off white/yellowish color. I agree the white/ bluish color would be way nicer. I've compared mine, store display and friends. They're all he same color.

Now that is a weird color combination lol.
But that is sad to hear, I will be the first to admit that I am probably too picky and that to most people it will just appear as white, but it's a bit lame when comparing to every other GS2 model
I keep mine off. Once you learn where they are, no point in having them using battery.
I leave them on all the time, its still nice to see them in the dark, and they take very little battery. (Like emptying your glove box to save mileage in your car)
I would say mine are white. A "warm" white. Towards the yellow side, but I don't see yellow. I had a Thrill that were not only much brighter they were "cool" white, towards blue. I like the warm white better.
It doesn't surprise me to see a variation. My wife and I had captivates for a year, each got one replacement. All 4 were slightly different. It was the brightness more than the color on them. One of them you could not tell when they were on, unless it was dark. One of them was uneven, the menu was brightest, search less bright, it took me a few months to notice, but after that I always noticed.

Yep, the at&t SG2 has an off-white light illumination. Compared to the Sprint, T-Mobile version and Skyrocket, you can definitely tell a difference. In my opinion though, it's more subtle. The T-mobile, Sprint and Skyrocket versions are a bright white and I find it a bit distracting.
Agreed, I like the color. Its soft, and doesn't distract

Guess I just have to get used to it. I was more worried about the fact that something was wrong with my phone. I can imagine the bright white being a bit too bright in bed at night though. Thanks guys! Mystery solved.
They should be white. I don't think any other color would look nice on our phones.

They are white...just a more warm white than what I expected when looking at other phones. It really does look a bit weird, takes a bit of getting used to.

It's an off white, "warm white" color. It's not obvious until you compare it side by side with the Infuse, which has more typical "cool white" LEDs. The "warm white" LEDs are more consistent with incandescent lamps in terms of color temperature.

at first i was going to say this might have something to do with the phone being refurbished, but then I took a look and my phone and noticed it is kind of off-white/yellowy. i'm gonna have to take a look at some other phones to compare.
Mine are a yellowish white as well...
To compare though, my last phone was the Infuse 4G and it had the bluish white buttons and yes it did look a little nicer, but just a little...

When I ran MIUI they stayed on all the time automatically. I wouldn't have used miui for so long if they didn't. I don't remember there being a setting for it, and I can't imagine the setting carrying over from stock ROM that was installed before. I'm running ICScreweD now, so I can't verify in the settings. IIRC there was a few posts in the MIUI thread asking how to not have them on all the time, but no way to change that.

From my experience with screen starting with the Treos to HTC to Asus that this is hardware and not software. Sometimes screen manufacturer will use a different top panel if supply is short.
However there is an app called "Screen Adjuster" that will allow you to change RGB as well as contrast. I used this temporarily on my Asus Prime (home screen transition) til I finally got a Prime with a whiter less yellower screen. It may slow your phone down however as it slowed my Prime just a tad. The contrast is what'll slow it down by a lot so try not to use it.
I forget though but you may need to be rooted to use it.

I know this thread is old, but I figured it'd be better to bring it back up than to create a new thread about the same thing. I got my EVO one week ago and have noticed that I have this yellow tint on my display as well. From reading through other forums for various phones (iPhone, One X, etc.), many people say that this is due to an adhesive that hasn't fully cured and should go away with time. On my phone, the tint is the most pronounced towards the bottom of the phone. I'm not sure if it really will go away with time or not, and my 14 days will be up soon.
My main question is that for others who have noticed this yellow tint on their phones, has it really gone away over time? Or is it still there?
The strange thing I have noticed is that it is not my ENTIRE screen that seems to be warmer/yellow-tinted. The very very edges of the LCD on all four sides appear to be free of this yellow tint. For example, when I open the Settings menu, I can make out a slight warm/yellowish rectangle covering all of the LCD except for the very edges which appear to be pure white. I'm not sure what to do with my phone as far as whether I should keep it or try to get it replaced in hopes of getting one without this yellow tint.

Mine has had the yellow tint on the bottom of the screen since launch. It has not gone away.
I forgot to mention that even when using Screen Adjuster and boosting the blues or even the reds or greens just to experiment, the yellow is still visible. This leads me to believe that it is not an issue with the LCD but rather with something that is on top of the LCD.
Yah... It's not going to go away. But if you're like me, you will eventually stop noticing it. Had mine for two months and the tint at the bottom right is still there but I honestly had forgotten about it till I saw this post.

I received my new htc evo v 4g few days back, and unfortunately, I also have yellow tainted screen. I also have galaxy s2 and this is huge change for me.
Galaxy s2 is on white and bluish side. and this htc evo v is predominantly yellow. If i open google on both the background, supposed to be white, is strongly yellowish in htc. Also, if i use the app screen adjuster, i am able to fix it !
Now am at the fix shall I continue with it or go for a change. The problem is that replacement is huge hassle with virgin mobile. PLUS you have to pay shipping by urself as well.
What you guys did? getting used to yellow or replacement?

Anyone noticed that S3 when used with a black wallpaper, its not totally black? Seems that the backlight is still on for blacks compared to S2 which is totally black.
S3 seems kinda grey with black...almost LCD like kinda black.
Do have a try in a dark room. I was surprised. Maybe you too
Will be interested to try this, that slightly greyish hue to blacks was one of the things I disliked about the Nexus screen.

I'll be happy with my screen...because it is beautiful and big.... sorry you guys need to find every reason to b*tch about an amazing phone ... I don't examine my phones screen while it shows complete white or black screens in the dark ... I use it and watch people marvel at it.

It's called being critical. There are a number of things I dislike about my One X. No phone is perfect and if we're not critical and express our dislikes, chances are HTC/Samsung may not fix them with software updates/newer models.
I'm more interested in the potential black clipping issues like on the Galaxy Note. That was unacceptable.

The true test is to turn off the lights and pull up your contact list. The background should be as black as night. If it is, then your wallpaper isn't really black -- find a better one.

can only test it after im home tonight.
just checking if anyone have the same experience.
Both my galaxy s and my s 2 never goes completely black if I watch them in complete darkness. Even when the phone is shutting down and doesn't display anything at all. And strangely enough they emit around the same brightness level. As the phones turn of completely, the hue disappears. Even black areas are being powered and I think it's by design. Or maybe slight component variations.

Hi guys. First of all let me tell this is far the best Android phone ever had.
But....
This is the second GS3 I have, and both of them have that annoying yellow tint on whites. You can see clearly on whatsapp, web, mailing, whites plain backgrounds.
It's also hard to forget, because when I move the screen 15-20 degrees using it the whites magically became real white, perfect white.
A friend has the same issue with his GS3 but he told me he saw in a shop a GS3 with perfetc whites with no tint at all, white as ice.
With my previous GS2's had some very light blue tint that didn't annoyed me at all (insted, I liked that cold whites temperature).
Tried screen adjuster but dind't help
Any of you guys experienced that?

Let's just say that the type of lighting you are under have a big impact on how you perceive the color temperatures on your phones. Under lighting in my local phone store my phone looks to have neutral white. Under fluorescent lights in my office it looks slightly pinkish. In indirect sunlight it looks yellowish. Under low evening sun it looks bluish.

Unfortunately unchecking "Auto adjust screen tone" and changing screen modes didn't help changing the whites gradient/temperature.
Are you whites a bit yellow or I am the only one (but with 2 GS3 ).

Every S3 I've seen so far has this yellow tint.
Other problems of this display are (software related):
black crush
oversharpening artifacts (fixed with Hardcore's kernel)

I have my warranty and the entire box at hand and I need to reassure myself before I head to the service center and request for a replacement. If not, I'll just sell it off.
I'm too, disappointed by the yellow tint that comes with this high res screen. As with others, tilting 20 deg will make the whites cooler. I did a bit of digging and found that there are many different shades of white. The usual white, or at least the one that I'm used to, on my Desire HD, is reddish/pinkish white.
You can do a bit of experimenting by looking at a blank page on SIII for half a minute, then look at another phone. If the white is different, it maybe due to different color casting. This will be particularly annoying still if you have to stare at screen tuned to a different temp at your workplace, and when you are ready to relax and use your phone, wham, you hate your S3 again.
I read a lot of 'black text on white background' and this annoy me as hell. I think that yellowish white make me think I'm reading off a piece of wash out toilet paper.
What do you guys think?
The Gs3 screen is actually 7900 Kelvin color temp which is quite blue! http://www.displaymate.com/OLED_Galaxy_S123_ShootOut_1.htm

Sorry for double post that was a screen shoot out I linked...the screen should be down a bit to 6500k for accurate color temp. I can't wait for supercurios screen app it will improve battery life. Maybe op should exchange his phone.big was at Verizon store today the display model was quite blue as well no yellow here.

Hey man I'm not noticing any tinting of my colours at all.. Or it might just be me being really obtuse. Aha.

Why will calibrating the screen improve battery life?

In browser go to menu, colors and select level 1. That will make it less yellowish.

Mine not for sure. I wish it was bluish like most samoled I had, like GS2.
It's just yellowish instead, and a can see true whites only if I tilt the screen 20 degrees. Seems like a old paper, non beatiful to see.
Gonna return for the second time, but I'm not really confident I will find a GS3 with real whites display like gs2, like I want, like a 600€ 4,8" is supposed to.
Same story for me. Second SGS3 with a yellow tint. If I tilt the phone up or down slightly the whites look right.

Exactly. Nobody that got GS3 with whites real white without tilting the phone up or down?
