I've never dropped this phone on the ground or in water but last night I've noticed the flashlight wasn't as bright as before,so I looked @ the flash and the top flash bulb is blue and the bottom one is yellow. Should I be concerned?

That's the way it is supposed to be. Yellow light acts as a natural flesh tone flash.

Does anyone have a problem with their Atrix flashing a yellowish flash rather than a bright white when taking a picture or using it as a flashlight? I was wondering if it was just my phone that had a bad LED flash or if it's all Atrix..
Mine is yellow also.

mine is yellow but i'm more concerned about the flickering when on a flashlight app. warranty time if yours does the same.
I think the yellowish tint is intentional to mute the buttons. My Fascinate buttons were bright white and really drew attention. I like the muted off white color.
edit: I mis-read the thread and posted about the led backlit buttons, not the LED flash... my bad. However, there are threads about the yellowish buttons!
Yeah i prefer the yellow, i had the bright white on my nexus one and it always washed pictures out.
Yes my flash leds are yellow as well I think this is standard.
I honestly like more the yellow tint than the insane white of other phones. Gives a more natural color to the shots.
Hmmm good to know this seems to be standard. I took some test pics and looked very odd to me. Maybe it was a combo of the off screen colors and yellow flash..
My Atrix is yellow but my girlfriend's atrix is white... I will show pictures later if there is any interest...
Just press on the yellow tint on the bottom of the screen with pressure~ The yellow tint will magically disappear!!!!!!!!
Seems to come back shortly after doing what you suggested.
So it proves that the yellow tint is the color of the glue in-between the glass and the display. (glue maybe, so something else like)
Has this worked for anyone else?

Well this does make yellow tint disappear, but only for a while.
I guess I will have to rub my phone from time to time to keep it sound

Hey Guys I Am About To Buy GS3 And That Will Be My First Ever Smart Phone But I Am Afraid Of That Pink Display Is This The Quality Of GS3 Display Or Just Defected Units? Is This Fixable?
Just recieved my S3. Its not pink, no dark blobs and no streaking. If anything the screen is WAY more accurately white than my S2. Its very close to my calibrated plasma.

aaauggh.
Mine is pink, only had it a few days, now have to figure out how to UN root - set flash count to Zero, and return... PITA!!!
to top that, it is always DIM compared to my SGS2 which is bright and punchy. Event the blacks look blacker! ( no screen protector on either).

Hi,
When I am using the flash indoor and it is dark , my pictures have a blue tint. I can see it already when the flash starts, just before taking the picture, that my screen has a blue tint.
I have noticed that , if I don't use the flash indoor and it is dark, I still have a very very little bluish tint but negligible.
When I take a picture indoor , but it is bright, , and the flash is set to on ,my screen doesn't become bluish and I have a "normal" picture"
Any idea what to do?
Daniel
Hi,
could it be that the blue tint comes from the LED being kind of blue? Not to sound sarcastic, but I think this could be the answer to your problem. Because when you look at the LED when switched on, you will realize that it is not pure white, but just a little bit on the blue side, that's at least my impression...
Check the white balance option in the camera settings, it's probably set to daylight or something, change it to auto or flash. Obviously the latter if you are using flash at that moment in time.

No, it is not the white balance option because it is always set to auto.

Does the problem show if you transfer the photo's to your computer?

Thanks for your advice.
I have transfered the pictures to my PC and there is no blue when viewing the pictures on my PC.
Daniel
I had a thought that if it wasn't the white balance then it might be whatever colour setting you have the phone's screen set to. Try changing the display mode to something else then view the photo's again.

But except the brightness level , there are no other settings you can change
Daniel
Settings -> Display -> Screen Mode
Try changing it from whatever it's currently on to something else, then check the photos again, repeat this with all the screen options. There could be a screen calibration problem with your phone on one of those settings.

Thanks but I have tried this already before and there is no difference between the 4 modes and the blue tint.
I think that my S3 has a little blue tint because I have compared it with a friend and there is a difference when viewing an application with a white background.
Daniel
Sounds like a faulty screen then, take it back and ask for a replacement.
And you are absolutely 100% sure your finger/thumb/whatever is absolutely no where near the flash? As that is by far the best explanation for this and common reason for this. Just check anyone on Facebook and look at their mobile uploads... You'll see lots of photos with blue tints and it's because people take photos with their fingers to close too the flash reflecting light back at the lens.

I am sure my figer is no where near the flash. And like I wrote earlier, on my
PC the pictures don't have a blue tint
yea ive tried all the above suggestions but it doesnt really work
the tint happens when there is another light somewhere in the picture

I find that is the issue for me also, I've noticed it happening when in a room with a TV on for example.
The GS3 has a hard time picking the right WB, it would be nice to have a WB setting for the cool White LED the flash uses.
Maybe a simple piece of scotch tape placed over the flash (with a light yellowish tint) will counteract with the blue tint.
I tried this with some painters maskingtape, the yellow paperbased tape. The pics aren't so blue anymore.
The only problem is finding the right yellow tint.
Maskingtape is a tad too thick and it interferes with the range of the flash.
ahh yes, my friend vs my sgs3, we did a flash light comparison. my i9300 version infact has a slight blue tint to it compared to his neutral tint (att version). I can confirm the blue tint is in fact a real thing

rosco swatchbook on amazon. just ordered the small one; i'll experiment and pick what works best on a neutral white sheet of paper. i'll cut it out and sandwich it between my phone and it's case right over the led.
ridiculous oversight on samsung's part not to white balance the flash's led. pisses me off that i have to resort to this on a flagship phone.

I am on yureka . i can easily confirm pic is bluish because flashlight is bluish. How to solve this. Some other camera app has two type of flash one tourch and other is default flash. Tourch light gives good pictures. How to make a tourch flash by default.
The bluish tint could possibly be how you perceive the image on the screen of the phone.
For example, I just took a photo on my i9300 and can clearly see that it is in the blue spectrum when comparing the photo on the i9300 against real life.
I sent the photo to my HTC M9 and on that screen it looks more like the original real life with no bluish tint.
Therefore I know the camera is good and taking colours correctly but my screen on my i9300 is what seems to be giving it the blue hue.

Hi guys, I wanna buy white version of MOTOROLA MOTO E (1st generation). But.. Do we see (white) led notification in white version of phone?
I'll be grateful for replies
Yup, there are in fact 2 white lights...
The less bright one works out of the box and flashes for notifications;
the brighter one is always off, but if you're rooted it can be mapped to system events depending on the kernel (make it a charging or disk access light!)

Is it visible during daylight at white phone? I'm worry that led notification in black version of phone can be so much better visible than white version of phone, isn't it?
He wants to know of its visible. I dont think that you HAVE to do the mods to use the phone

It will likely have less contrast, but the led still illuminates (unlike the one on the Xperia U, which actually looks like a painted disk outside of a pitch dark room!!) -- and a semitransparent white paint over the LED area will also probably attenuate the light less than a semitransparent black one!

Nope!
There is a black hole technology integrated into the white version. Black one has a simple white LED. But on the white one, when a notification arrives, a black hole will be created at the top right of the bezel. It appears like "black light" (or better call it a singularity) and is clearly visible because of the white background
Well, jokes apart, it is clearly visible even in the sun, of course you will need to look at the phone in the sun in order to know it's blinking. In the dark, it illuminates my room. Don't worry, go for it. White looks classy
thanks a lot guys,
so i'm going to buy white version
