I'm extremely disappointed with the yellow (or pink) tint issue on my newly purchased S3. Seems that not all the handsets affected. Let's see how many.
Mine had it, got my replacement today and my replacement doesn't suffer from any tint. I recommend to whoever has this issue to get a replacement ASAP.
My pebble blue sg3 has no tint.
I have been through 3 of these phones because of this "issue". I am on the third and i turned off that setting just now to turn off the automatic tone adjustment. At first it didn't make any difference but i rebooted the phone and WOW. what a difference!!! Whites are white now haha at low brightness its not perfect but that's a limitation of AMOLED technology but at higher brightness settings all whites are amazing now!!
Before you exchange your phone make sure to try this!!
No tint problem here

No tint in blue S3 even with auto tone adjustment.
I've got a greeny yellow tint if I use the phone at any viewing angle except from 100% flat to my eyes.
Thinking about replacing as it's quite annoying watching it change colour as I type..

yellow tint on my s3
I have yellow tint on screen bt samsung service centre refused to admit the problem so dunno what to do next..any suggestions?
Its really annoying as the tint disappears on changing viewing angle..

for the first combined two hours or so of usage, there was definitely a yellow tint to my S3. especially when compared to my housing (i have a white S3) or my case (bright white, whiter than the housing). open up the gmail app for instance, and the background white was tinted for sure.
that has changed however.
after the two or three hour (total) mark of usage, the screen colours changed. the white of the screen lost the yellow tint, and is cooler now, and matches the whiteness of my case. overall, very pleased with the screen, don't even care about PenTile.
i wonder if you guys are jumping the gun ... or if i'm just lucky?
any problem here ; )
ohhhhhhh
i got one:crying:
I'm starting to think this is a coating or something on the display. Every single one I've had has it and it only shows in certain lighting. At work it's so apparent. In the store I couldn't see it. Also at max brightness it's barely noticeable.

Thank you!! I just got my S3 and was contemplating returning it because of the yellow tint. I even unchecked the auto tone adjustment thinking that was the issue, but couldn't tell the difference so I turned it back on. It wasnt until I read your post and restarted my phone with the setting turned of did it resolve my issue. Now my whites look white and everything looks great. Thanks!
Definitely a bug though, you shouldnt have to restart your phone for this setting to take effect.

I just unboxed my ltEVO and it has a predominant yellow tint for white. I read about this with the one-x. Mine seems heavy. But I'm coming from a super amoled+ display that has a blue tint on white. Anyone else having this issue?
I read about a possible patch for the one-x, do you guys think this can be corrected via software?

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?

So I'm having this slight yellow tint on my S3. It's not super visible but I do notice it. I also compared it to a show model and mine definitely had a tint while the one in the shop was just pure white. Should I return it or just leave it as it is?
If anything the tint should be blue due to the pentile display.
it could be down to your screen mode which you can change under settings > display > screen mode
Screen mode doesn't change the tint.

Hmm, I would suggest getting some other people you know to look at it and confirm it has a tint without trying to sound harsh it could just be your eyes. If not take it back to the store its still going to be covered by the stores warranty and of course manufacture warranty.
are we talking about the casing or the screen?

I actually compared it to the store model. It definitely has a tint. But a guy at the service center said the tint might go away. There are more cases where the adhesive had to dry or something, so the screen would have a yellow tint the first two weeks or so. If it doesn't go away I will send it to samsung in a couple of weeks.

If you're still within the 14-day return period I wouldn't chance it and just get a new handset now. That would be the safer option.
That sounds like a line, the guy at the store probably doesn't want to do anything for you. If I paid a lot of money for a device and or 3 year term you better bet I'm getting the best phone possible without defects. My 2 cents...
There are at least 2 two other threads about this here and there is also two on swedroids forum (use chrome for translation).
I have the same problem and I have sent it back to the retailer as a DOA. I hope I get a new one!
Looks like it's not meant to do it I goggled for like half an hour and there is nothing coming up for yellow tint due to adhesive.
I'll be mad as hell when I get my S3 and it had the same thing. It's bad enough looking at it on my S2.
The yellow or pink tint is something pretty common almost all S3 I've seen (about 6 sets). The severity and location of the tint varies from set to set. On my current set, the screen is yellow at the top 25% and pinkish on the rest of the screen. My previous set was yellow on 50% of the screen right in the centre.
This problem is most obvious on light colored backgrounds (eg. white, grey) when we surf the web. An easy way to see is to download LCD-Test app from play store.
Very very disappointing widespread defect on an otherwise superb phone.
Well I they said that they wouldn't wan't to take it back as I had some other problems with other S3's and they already replaced those. But anyway.. Is there a chance the yellow tint will go away in the next week or so? As I heard it is often caused by some kind of adhesive.

I would honestly leave it. You might end up getting a worse phone with dead pixels or worse.
All phone screens are slightly different. There will be a rom/kernel out eventually that will let you tweak your color settings.
My i9000 used to have a slight yellow tint. Now I've set up voodoo color it's a pure white. I'm sure your phone is perfectly capable of displaying a pure white too.

Well I actually don't plan on rooting it.
I'm more than 1 week in and the tint hasn't changed a bit. I made the screen a bit hot (not too hot) so that if the tint would be caused by adhesive it would dry. As there is no change in more than a week I'm not really expecting the tint to change. If the issue persists more than 2 weeks I will bring it back and keep everyone updated on how the service is, so that people will know whether they can send their phones back in case they have a tint.

Unfortunately my camera was not good enough to pick up the difference. I scoured youtube and got this picture, and this is exactly how it looks. Vibrant is a bit cooler compared to One S in the picture. But Galaxy S3 display looks exactly the same. What do you guys think?
it's kind of hard to tell by picture but is it possible because your lights are dim? For whatever reason, GSIII default light settings are low...really low. Samsung is being cautious or something...I mean their Auto-brightness future sucks because of this, they make it really dim.
Hmm..Really?! The picture is pretty clear in showing the reddish tint on Galaxy S3 screen. But on that youtube video not a single comment about it. Makes me wonder if this is normal and I guess I am too used to the cooler blue tint on the Vibrant? It has been just a few days I got the phone and exchanging it at Walmart is not a problem, otherthan reinstalling all apps and other setup. But I just wanted to know if this is normal and if so I will be getting exactly identical phone and it is just gonna be a waste of time.
Looks like a defect to me, mine is not like that!

Thanks, your picture gives me some relief. The SG3 definitely has a warmer tone and I think at 30% brightness it makes the whites a little pink. This combined with the fact that I compared to blueish super bright screen of Vibrant may have caused my panic. The brightness of SG3 screen is definitely low, I mean minimum usable is 30% and you have to set it at 50-70% for most situations. Vibrant is super bright where i can use it even at 0% brightness and anything above 50% really hurt the eyes.
My GS3 does not look anything like that, you can easily see the pink in your display.
Defect, return it.

I got my GS3 A few days ago and i noticed the screen look awfully warm, so i thought it was just samsung color calibration. But when i tilt the phone in any angle from a normal viewing angle the screen temperature goes warm to cold. Has anyone had a similar experience?
Same exact problem here man. I've posted a few threads about it but I figured I was alone since no one replied. My room step s3 is yellow as well. I'm on my 3rd and they have all been the same.
I'm just going to assume it's calibrated this way. Sure does look nice from an angle though lol
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
upgrading from the gs II, I picked up my gsIII last week and noticed the warmer color...especially on a white background. The warm white reminds me of LCD instead of OLED... i was thinking Samsung duped us and swapped LCD for OLED.
Since the color becomes cooler when you change the viewing angle, i'm thinking it might be a tint in the screen glass or digitizer to give that warmer color when viewing straight on. Personally, I prefer whiter whites but it seems most smart phone users, especially iphone users, are used to/prefer a warmer white screen so maybe Sammy is trying to appeal to the masses used to a LCD look
I hate it, especially coming from the GS2. Looking at it from an angle the screen looks perfect, WHY SAMSUNG WHYYYYYYYYYY:crying:

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.

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.

Hi guys, really thanx to all for your hints. :good:
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 ).
TNX.

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?
