Hi, i just bought this phone yesterday and after set up i noticed two things;
1. The screen color looks dull, like its on reading mode when its not. Yellow, red and green look dull.

No such issues. Screen is very good for me, and for reviewers. You can change color in display settings.
Found the culprit for the Screen color to be Color Correction.
The touch issues are yet to show up on the latest software update

Is there any way to get more themes, I have the white version of the phone and it would be great if I could have color matching theme.
The themes included are all dark, and they dont actually change the colour of notification bar, and the menus only show the wallpaper through them.
This is my first post so sorry if Ive done something wrong.

you should try going back to the subforum where it's title themes. your best bet is there enjoy!!!
And a white theme means more white, brightly lit pixels that would consume more of your battery, just like reading e-books on the mobile: black letters on white drains battery visibly faster compared to night mode: white letters on dark background... is white theme that important?
thanks
Thanks for your replies, didnt know whether there was some sort of Sony store where I could download themes for this specific device.
1 quick question, how do I completely disable the auto backlight feature, its annoying sometimes becuase I keep putting my finger over the light sensor and it dims it so I cant see the screen .
thanks again

I think that reasoning is only valid for AMOLED screens; for all other types, afaik, the backlight is on for all of the screen, and 'black' just blocks the backlighting from going through (which is why real black is quite hard to get in an LCD display)

As for white theme, that would certainly hurt the eyes at night, but hey its your choice.
Hey guys, I got my phone last Saturday and have been playing around with it ever since.
I noticed that I had the night clock bug (whole screen is lit up) and as far as I know it's already a confirmed software bug. What I also noticed though was that my lock screen is also lit up. I'm using a pure black wallpaper which works well when the phone is unlocked (appears pure black) but the black is lit up when the lock screen is shown. It's almost like there's backlight bleeding. In the home screen and lock screen preview though it shows that it should be pure black
Here are screenshots of the "bug". I'm actually thinking it's a software bug since it was captured by the screenshot. http://imgur.com/a/p5maP (Take note the the blacks on the first image is different from the other 3)
Was wondering if this bug is related to the night clock bug or a defect with my unit.
If anyone is willing to help, kindly try changing your wallpaper to a solid black color and check if the blacks on the home screen and lock screen is different.
Thanks! (I have 4 days left until I won't be abe to replace my unit so I'm trying to make sure everything's good)

They're referring to the Night Clock alone. I have that problem as well as a lockscreen problem. Haven't seen anyone reporting if they have the lock screen problem so I'm trying to figure out if it's a software glitch or a bug with my unit.
Basically the lock screen preview when applying a new wallpaper shows that the lock screen should have super amoled blacks but when I lock the phone the black is lit up.

If there's any consolation I experienced this very problem. Were you using fingerprint to unlock? I hadn't seen it because I had swipe to unlock.
I still haven't figured out how to fix it.

That's normal. This happens because the lock screen puts a slight filter on your wallpaper. It de-saturates the image. You can try with a solid red color, it might be easier to see.

Not, really. This only happens when you have Fingerprints/Pattern set up as your Screen lock type.
If you set it to Swipe, with the water droplet effect, there's no "filter."
Someone found kind of a solution to this, but it didn't work for me: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...t-rid-dark-filter-lock-screen-wallpapers.html

Yeah it's clearly a bug, but OP thought it might be a defect of his phone. I was just reassuring OP that the problem exists in my phone as well. Thanks for that link. I did try the solution they proposed but it didn't work for me either...
Solution not working...plz another fix?
I have the same bug on my Galaxy J5 (super amoled), I use pin to unlock it. It is pretty annoying. I use the same black picture for both lock screen and background pic, and after unlocking the phone, black backlight turns off. Swipe to unlock solves the problem, but I have to take one of the disadvantages : either backlight or not locked phone.
Download "klwp live wallpaper maker" from playstore and make a all black wallpaper . Save it go to settings ---> background/wallpaper, set KLWP as lockscreen and wallpaper/background.
Not solved? are u using xposed? if so, download Bright Lockscreen and see if this helps.
I might have an issue with my phone. I just wanted to check if anyone had the same problem.
When i have a white screen i get that grey beam coming from the second screen down on the white.
Is that normal or the screen is messed up ?
Also, on the second screen, when i get a notification that has a white background, it seems a little black.

I've noticed the same problem. I think it's due to the secondary screen led not being as brightly lit as the main one. It should look better when the second screen is active.
Listing some bugs and improvements
Bugs:
1. Screenshot does not cover entire screen area
2. No smooth transition for notifications
3. Auto brightness calibration is unstable
.
.
Improvements:
1. Enable hide notch option
2. Battery percentage in status bar
.
.
headsup notification lost animation compared to third party roms like RR,AICP,OMNI.
and the statusbar icons are too crowded
Swiping down the notification bar once doesn't have a smooth animation it really bugs me!

I would rather say it is more advantage than shortcoming.
Battery percentage would be very pleasant. It's pretty much my only gripe about the phone so far.
when power button is pressed to lock the screen it first flashes red then turns off
similarly when brightness is reduced too quickly, screen has red tint and then brightness gets lowered
That must be your device. Mine has no such issues.

It's supposed to be a turn off effect/animation, the screen goes off with that 3D-movie effect. It's not a bug.

If its supposed to be a feature, then why does it only shows red tint where the screen is white?
My uncle also has the same phone, i didn't notice this happening to his phone. Does it happen to you too?

Can you share a screenshot? We might be talking about totally different things.. And about the effect I'm talking about, i can't like intentionally notice it if i look at screen going off very carefully but only notice it sometimes (like an offguard thing), it barely lasts 0.1 second before screen goes off!

I think we're talking about the same thing if you say it lasts only a split second before screen going black, So i cant post a screenshot.
And the red flash only comes where the screen is on White UI, like when im in settings or google app. Where ever the the lcd is white, it flashes red just a fraction of a second before going off.

Oh that looks bad.. That's not the thing that happens with me, it's goes like the black shadows of fonts and icons go briefly red before going off, it's probably a bug in that feature for u..

just noticed another bug.
the option to switch off ambient display is greyed off for me, everytime the phone is on table its always on the ambient display without any movement.
I lock the phone and it comes to ambient display within 2 seconds.
Has anybody had any issues connecting Bluetooth devices? I have an Anker Soundbuds Slim+ BT headset - and the X6 just doesn't see them. I can pair them with my Fitbit Ionic in 3 seconds, but when I try to pair them with the phone, they're simply not detected?! I have connected different headsets without issue. These buds work on BT 4.1, so they should work with this phone, right?!
D'oh. Just noticed that it had previously paired - so was hiding in "previously connected devices". Never mind...

See if u have ambient display turned to 'always during charging'.. And u can turn it off in the new notification setting inside ambient display.
I just got this device..... don't understand the hype. How do I get the screen to show white as white? Not yellow. Tried all the suggested tricks. And adjust the slider to cool in settings. Nothing happens. I have read everything and tried everything.... Is this just how Samsung looks?
Maybe blue light filter is on?

No blue light filter on.
Did you get it used? May have been severely worn out. That or just a defective screen.

Yes it is used. My father used it only on vacations..so not So much.
May be wrong but have you checked in
Setting - Accessibility - Vision enhancement
There are options in there to change the way the screen will look.
ie: under colour lens menu having screen showing different colour filter when turn on.

Yes tried that also. I have tried everything but nothing happens. I had a friend over with another s9+ and his screen was just fine and with the same settings. I think it's just the screen that's broken or something.
I work with calibrated screens every day (I work in colour grading video and photos) and I must say that Samsung screens are NOT correct. I have an S20 ultra here also and it has some weird colour shift also.
My old Pocophone F1 has more accurate colour than these phones?
I also acknowledge that oled has some tint to it by default but I just find it frustrating paying a lot of money for these phones and not really knowing how my photos really look until I see them on my computer screen.
phone of my sister have same issue overheat then yellow screen !! I will ty to reset it and see what happen !!
we have just one solution just with always on display unlock with aod on !! and voila no issue with screen but if screen stay yellow your phone will overheat with screen issue ....
think is from update blue filtre is on in boot we cant deactivate it
