Maybe your eyes are just acclamating

I read somewhere on these forums that as the "glue" dries the screen colors change. Truth or BS I dunno.
acclamating.
Cosign. I stopped using screen adjuster (added blue). The whites have been getting better
I am starting to think that it really is the glue. Now I can love my phone.

OK guys just got my vibrant, yay. But everything has a blue tint to it. Even things that I know are white have a blue tint. Anyone else have the effect and can I stop it. Thanks.

Honestly i dont notice the blue tint. Maybe its because Im parrially colorblind lol.

Even the home page to Google has a little blue in it. I'm going to compare this phone to a phone in a tmo tomorrow.

It's a product of the amoled technology. The blue in the pixels wears out at a much faster rate than the others so they add extra blue as a way to counter act that. It should go away with time.

Ii just traded my epic touch and got this phone plus 2 otterbox's and 100 bucks and hdmi cable. Problem is on a bright white screen I can see these black almost invisible shadows near the middle of the screen that won't go away or change shape. Anyone know what this is?
I believe its The back lights, they are on both of my photons but only can see them when the sun is shining on the screen
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
This is pretty much all the time that I can see them, I have to look for them, but not too hard. It's like a shadow shade type look.
Mine looks like a checkerboard across the whole screen
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
thats the pentile display lol. mine is shaped random, like an amoeba
Does it change at all when you adjust the screen brightness.
it looks pretty much the same. doesnt change shape.
Are you within the exchange period?
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
"amoeba" LOL... reminds me of that live wallpaper that was going around with the microscope image of sperm swimming around on the screen.
I bought the phone off of a person, so I doubt it. Lol yeah amoeba.
I fixed the screen issue,

I had a problem
My first photon had a light patch a splotchy patch on the left side of the phone, I returned it and got a new one, no light splotchy patch any more.
The pentile screens are great, crisp, sharp, real colors, great for viewing outdoors and use less power.
If you set your photons 4g display to AUTO BRIGTHNESS, you will not see any screen door effect, if you use the phone on mid to higher brightness you will, Auto brightness is truly the best setting for these displays.
No issues with my second unit, others comment on how good the screen looks, one of them has an i phone.
On most phones auto brightness is not your friend, on the photon it is definitely the setting to use.
Not to be off topic, but my screen doesn't look like a checkerboard when its Otterbox Defender.

After using my phone for a while today, a yellow spot appeared in the lower left corner. It isn't part of the normal screen, and appears over any whitish colors. It looks like a cigarette smoke stain almost. It won't go away, and is very noticeable over white, though it's invisible over dark colors. Does that sound like a damaged screen?

How long ago did you get the phone? I recall someone talking about something similar with the nexus 4, where it was the glue holding the screen on was not fully cured, causing it to have yellow spots.
Edit: Here is the thread I saw it on: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1990276 Does it look like that?
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
Somewhat, but lighter in a different location. Probably the same thing. I've had it since November 20 or so. Crap. First my casing split and now this... for such a well built phone it sure has a lot of issues with build....

I also have the blue tint at the top of the screen one of the links posted talked about. Well fantastic. The best phone ever has paper skin and glass bones.

Hi, i think there are various colors back camera eye (the 8MP one), whats your color?
...mine is purple.
Why?
Actually they should always be more or less the same color since it's the reflection of the UV filter and photo chip you see.
Depending on the light they can look somewhat more blue or purple.
That's weird, mines green.

I asked because mine is green too, but i had others s3 before and i believed they where blue, but i wasnt sure.
i wanted to see if there where more people with green ones.
Same here, its green in mine

Mines green too, nothing to worry about...
Prob better camera than those blue and purple ones
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Yeah I've never even paid attention to the lens colour. If it takes pictures fine then there's nothing to worry about.
The S3 does use 2 different camera modules though, one made by Samsung the other by Sony.
Maybe Green is the Samsung module and blue/purple is the Sony module.
My camera module is ZD version which I believe is the Samsung module.

So I noticed on my droid sms if I turn my auto brightness off and keep my screen on the brighter side and tilt the phone a certain way I see a green dot. When I til it to the right I see green, then red. The other way I see red then green. Straight on and if I tilt the top of the phone towards me the dot is no longer visible. I doubt its a stuck pixel due to how it acts. It is NOT visible on black or any other color from normal viewing angles. I saw a similar effect on my Razr HD when I had an otterbox on it due to a weird texture on the screen protector. Thanks for any help!

Do you have a case that is putting pressure on the back of the phone. Dots appearing are usually from pressure being pushed on the back of the phone.

I have the seidio surface case, but its literally like the size of a pixel. Its there without the case on as well. I remember seeing someone post about the HTC One having a similar problem and came to the conclusion it was an abnormality under the glass in the glue or something. I have a TINY piece of dirt under the digitizer as well but every other DNA I have owned had multiple dead and stuck pixels, horrible capacitive button bleed, backlight bleed, or extreme uneven backlighting. Most of these were a combination of pixels and backlight. So I'm keeping this one, just wondering if anyone else noticed this.

Nvm? I just find it odd it disappears at normal viewing angles. On my 32" from a few years ago I have a stuck green sub pixel and its only visible if I look directly at the screen head on. It wouldn't only appear at an angle if it was a stuck pixel, right? It also seems when I use Auto Brightness it is almost impossible to find, even at an angle. Its still there just need to use shaper angles. Its also a LOT dimmer than say, at 50-100% in the dark. During the day its almost not there when the screen gets brighter. In the sun it looks like there might be something above the spot but I'm not sure. Anyone else having this issue? It took me almost a week to find it.

I didn't read your entire post.
Anyway, the pixels are so close together I can't imagine it being too noticeable. If you can see the green pixel at a certain brightness keep it at that brightness and run a dead pixel fixer.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
Well its not thay I see a green pixel. When I look at the screen normally its not there at all, at any brightness. If I tilt it away from me and to the left or right the dot becomes visible. To the right its green and then red if I tilt it farther. If I tilt it to the left it goes from red to green. They aren't bright. I had a DNA with a stuck green pixel and a stuck red one and this definitely isn't a stuck pixel. If it is, its news to me. They were obvious on everything. This one can't be seen unless I view my phone from an angle.

Edit 2: I don't recommend it but you can rub the screen with the cap of a sharpee wrapped in something soft. This can damage the screen, so its up to you to try. I wouldn't worry about it if you can't see it during normal usage though.
Edit: you'll obviously have to rub kind of hard but use your best judgement.

Actually the blue works. No black dot on blue.

Just checked all the colors. No black dots on any color, no stuck or dead pixels show up, until on gray or black at an uncomfortably odd angle this odd spot shows
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
I don't think its a problem unless your usually looking at your phone at an odd angle. If it really bothers you, you can always try to get a warranty replacement, but I severely doubt they would replace your phone for one broken pixel.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
Yeah, plus I'm 99.9% sure its not broken or stuck... Again because it works on all colors like it should. I was just wondering if anyone else experienced this odd occurrence.
