Screen Defect in direct sunlight? - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I picked up a T Mobile Note 5 today and noticed strange mark all the way up and down the right side of the display. It is only visible under direct sunlight or very strong lighting and most noticeable with white or light backgrounds. It looks like some sort of air gap or liquid between the glass and the display. I actually exchanged the phone and the new one had the same issue. Has anyone else noticed this?

I'm having the same issue. I posted my issue on Android Central and someone stated that this is a common issue with the S6 and Note 5.
I'm going to call Samsung support right now because T-Mobile stated "that's how it was designed" and that answer just doesn't work for me. Even if they are right.

Well I checked my phone in direct sunlight and I don't see the mark you're talking about. But I do notice that my screen / glass isn't clear... With the screen off and in the sun, looking at my screen at certain angles I can see horizontal marks on my whole screen. Does anyone else notice these marks?

I know exactly what you're talking about. Mine has the same thing. I was wondering if it might be the glass screen protector, but I wasn't about to remove it to find out. It doesn't really bother me, so I won't attempt to get it replaced unless it gets more pronounced.

I do not think I see the issue on my Verizon Note 5, however one thing I will say is this screen is amazingly bright, I can even use the camera outside in direct light and be able to see it perfectly.

I think you'd probably know if you did. It's really obvious on mine, but only in direct sunlight. In all other lighting conditions, it's completely undetectable. I'm going to try to get a picture.

I have it as well, and find it extremely annoying. This is also the 3rd unit I have had due to the bullsh#t pink hue on the other two. This one is being returned to the service center when I feel like making the drive, and I'm not leaving without a perfect display.

I have this issue as well not really that major It's only there in sunlight

Anyone found that this problem has been solved with a RMA or is thus just part of the way the phone's are?

I have the same issue with my Note 5 I bought it recently and works perfectly.
The display quality is amazing in any light condition, also the content is very clealry seen in the sunlight, but on the right side of the screen under direct sunlight, especially when then brightness is at 100% an I use a white backgroud some spots are visible from the top of the screen to the bottom.
Are these some sort of Burn-ins?
As tech service noted itnis a common problem with S6 and Note 5, also it does mot affect content visibility, however when Samsung manufactures such premium phone they should avoid such manufacturing errors.

Amoled display technology hasn't fully matured yet

Go in a dark room, pick a black background and notice all those marks. Amoled has been like this since day 1.

I see, this is chronic problem of Note 5.
Solution is: Do brightness as %99, 95, 70, 50 etc. in direct sunlight. Don't do it %100.
Check my problem too (similiar problem) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/help/display-problem-note-5-t3206480

Had this issue on my first note 5. sent it out for repair and waited for 5 days and found out that the replacement note5 has pinkish hue at the bottom of the screen. can wait another 5 days with out the note 5. going to drive to the nearest samsung service center with is 45 mins tomorrow. let me see if i can get it right this time.

Slightly on topic my N5 has issues under low lighting as per pics. Going to send it back as it's rather annoying in the spot it's in. On low brightness the smear like line is visible when you take it off low brightness the screen is fine. Weird.

Does the Note suffer from the green tint?

I was put off the Galaxy S2 because of the screen. Unless you look straight onto it I can see a green tint and if move the device the screen has a green shimmer to it which gets on my nerves and reduces the screen brightness to my eyes.
Ive been told this is the glass coating, does the Note have the same effect / tint?
The green tint was criticized in a German review of the Galaxy Note. Thereafter, the review was updated. It nows says that many users with phones having a green tint got a replacement and that the newer phones do not have this issue.
http://www.golem.de/1111/87475-3.html
Ordered and returned a Galaxy S2 to Amazon.co.uk this week because I just couldn't adjust to the green tint, also the plastic made my hand sweat!? So is it a bad batch or is it like the iPads and iPhones which have 2 or 3 different screen manufactures - some yellowish, some redish.
The Note looks like a killer device with all of the goodness of the S2 plus a stylus and I really don't want to order a iPhone 4s but I'm hovering on the order button....
no green tint here. but even if there was, the 2 year warranty would cover it.
Green tint here, although it's not very noticable.
Neither my S2 or note have a green tint.
Also, the S2 was noted to have the best screen on a mobile device..
no tint here.
In fact my S2 comparing to note have a blue tint on white and the note it is more natural.
I wish I wont have a problem.
Not sure abt green but the two S2 I went thru had a severe blue tint. Was extemely excited abt the S2 and purchased 3 different cases, a car charger and the mhl adapter even before I got the phone.
The blue tint was so bad at the slightest of angles that it was simply unbearable. Got it replaced but the same story again. Finally caved in and bought the Sensation, but the screen was unbelievably inferior when compared to my HD2 and had that returned too.
Completely torn between the Nexus and the Note and jus can't make up my mind. That said, my HD2 running Hyperdroid CM7 is rock solid and super smooth and I love having physical keys, Its just that 'm bored using the same phone for so long now.
No green/blue/whatever tints noticed on either the SGS2 or the Note.
I guess these days everyone seems to have quality control problems with screen manufacture... just saw a friend do a side-by-side white colour comparison with two iPhone 4S' and one was more blue than the other.
My new note also has this tint. Personally it doesn't bother me, cause it only visible when you tilt white background. The pics below are from some review site, who also saw this. Anyone else?

Mine has a slight green tint, and sometimes there are infinitesimal color shifts that I notice while I'm reading ebooks on a solid color background. It's not pronounced enough to justify my replacing it though.
How do you guys check the green tint when in the store? what settings or apps do i have to go to to check the green tint?
When I bought my galaxy note, I had the opportunity to compare side-by-side a polish vs hk unit in person to choose the one I wanted. I set both units to max brightness and then chose the one with less green hue. It was noticeable when I looked for it, and I was glad I asked him to let me look at both to choose one.
In the Samsung store, the note is clearly much better in terms of color temp under the fluorescent lighting of the store, than the GS2 was. The GS2 has a very obvious tint that was visible even without placing the note side-by-side next to it.
That's not to say the Galaxy Note is perfect. Its native white point is still pretty high it seems. At max brightness, my Note's white point is still noticeably "cooler" than my two calibrated monitors in the same indoor lighting environment. Dim down the display and it becomes even more "blue".

Thanks for your input. So when you saw both units, there was definite green tint on both? Do you guys consider this a normal trait for the kind of screen technology we have?

When looking at just 1 phone, it's not noticeable, when compared together, one of the notes had more green than the other, but not on a "deal breaking" level.
Yes, it's normal with this tech, Mobile versions of AMOLED tech never claims to be accurate, it only really sells its super wide color gamut and deep blacks.
If you want color "accuracy", then then iphone4s is technically more accurate. If you want an android phone, then a more accurate comparable res'd screen is the one on the LG Optimus LTE with AH-IPS 1280x720 on 4.3". Some display certification company claims that it's better than Super AMOLED Plus.
Accurate-to-life doesn't lead to being perceptually appealing though, hence why people are immediately drawn to the deep blacks and eye-popping saturation and brightness of Super AMOLED. Trust me when I say the note's screen will put a smile on your face!

No green tint when you look at it straight or when viewing angles? mine also shows excellent white when your looking at it straight. But when trying to view angles, the greenish tint slowly appears.

What are your top 3 Reasons for Return ?

I have been reading the threads here for a while, and alot of you all, have returned several Nexus 7's for various reasons. I'm trying to compile a simple bar graph, to see why people are returning their units. For me the final straw was the Color Hue/ or Tint correctness, or lack thereof.
New on is on par with iPad, 3 just not as bright or vibrant but at least my Blue is Blue now (not Purple)
So have at it.
For me it's been screen raise/separation, screen flicker and one of mine wouldn't charge with the device on, only when it was off.
I'm on my 7th one which has been perfect so far.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
For me, it would be that the price was too high for what I was getting. Also I couldn't do nearly the things I thought I could do with the tablet. It was barely better than a front end for a web browser.
Wait, we are talking about returning an iPad to buy a Nexus 7, right?
Can't see any reason to return mine.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Returned my first Nexus 7 because the colors looked washed out, whites over saturated, and sometimes the screen looked very over exposed (later I'd find out because of video playback).
Unfortunately I wouldn't realized until a couple returns later that all these issues were common on most (if not all) Nexus 7 tablets. I was confused early on by comments of "looks perfect" and "looks as good as my iPad 3".
But after 4 tablets, I'm pretty much convinced the washed out colors, white saturation, and video playback issues are universal. So my first RMA was actually pretty pointless.
My second and third Nexus 7 tablets however had raised glass. Two different types of raised glass though. On the second one the glass was bulging on the left side and could not be pushed down. I never opened the back to investigate what might be causing it. The third Nexus 7 was raised, but I could push it down. So I put a couple small clamp on it, left it over night and it's stayed down a couple days now.
Slight screen separation but I'm not going to return it for just that.

Screen separation, light bleed....thats it. Only 2 things, but they affect the most important part of the device, the screen!
RMA'd two units due to flicker. The second unit also had a dead pixel right in the middle of the screen, and a yellow tint to the screen. Waiting on my third unit to ship this week, hopefully problem free!

2 dead pixels, erratic screen flickering, and inaccurate colors.
Screen seperation, light flicker, and a ding in the corner

First one was for a dead pixel in a terrible spot for ebook reading, and it was otherwise the best unit. The other two were primarily because whites had a sickly yellow tint. All of them had screen separation to one degree or another, and all had the flicker.
I'm waiting awhile for these issues to be worked out, then I'll give it another shot.

Screen lift on two units. Flickering on the first one too. Lower speaker volume on second one.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Severe screen lifting on first (though not returning since I seem to have fixed it).
Second one going back because gyro/accelerometer/compass all way off and the frame has a kink/dint in it along with a small amount of lift and screen movement..
I have fairly washed out colours but I don't see that as a problem, I prefer the toned down colours to my overly vivid phone colours.
Deleted
The washed out colours is a software problem in tegra3 it will be resolved soon.
Bought first one from Sam's on the 13th, returned due to screen lift. Noticed it after a week of heavy use.
Ordered an 8 from Google. Right out of the box, minor screen separation. RMA went through yesterday, getting a replacement.
I was more upset about a strip of stuck pixels in my second unit when I called in the RMA, but that wasn't there anymore the next time I booted up. Other than the very minor screen separation, which has not significantly progressed in the two weeks I've had it, I have no complaints about this unit. But I will be exchanging it anyway because I'm afraid it will get worse. I haven't been using this one nearly as much.
Here is a picture of my second unit. Look at the far side. The left bezel is a thin silver line, interrupted by the black display where the screen isn't flush.

I returned mine because I bought an extra one by mistake. I had ordered from OfficeDepot first, but when they said they were backordered, I made a new order from Staples. As luck would have it, they both arrived on the same day. I returned the one from Staples because Staples is closer to where I live.
First Nexus 7 from the play store had a bad digitizer. Returned it and got a RMA replacement with a bad head phone jack. Took a little effort by me but I got it working by sticking a needle in the jack and fixing the pins on the inside.....I still got bad crackling from my speaker but its not worth returning it and waiting on another tablet to come in.

I was thinking of exchanging it for another because of the washed out colors. Its not too bad but I wasn't sure if this was common. I started reading more and more people with the same issue. So I'm keeping it. Its not too bad and I have no other problems with it. Here is hoping maybe an update can improve it.

Dust in screen?!?!

I seem to have a spec of something in the screen, I just noticed it yesterday. I'm 100% sure it was not there before as its on the white part of the gmail icon on my homescreen, so if it was there before I would have noticed it.
I'm also pretty certain it's not a dead pixel as it appears above the text on my screen. Also if I position some text so the corner or edge of a letter just touches it, it seems to shift if I look at it in different angles which would indicate its not a pixel but something above the actual LCD panel.
Not sure how to explain this better, but I have seen LCDs with dead pixels, something behind the LCD panel, and something between the LCD and glass, and this definitely looks like it something above the lcd.
The thing is, the Xperia Z LCD panel is meant to be bonded directly to the LCD, so there is no air gap, so theoretically nothing can get between the LCD and the glass.
Anyway, I just ordered a usb microscope (always wanted one anyway) which should arrive tomorrow so I can get a better look at this and figure out what is going on.
Just really bugging me at the moment, also heard that sony has been refusing repairs on Xperia Z with less than 3 faulty pixels, so also worried if it is indeed a pixel.
OK, it is definitely dust or something in my screen, I have tried shining a bright LED into the screen and I can see a speck with the screen off, exactly where the the black spec shows up on my screen is on.
I thought the whole lcd was meant to be bonded to the screen removing the whole of the air layer. as shown on sony's website.
Anyone have similar issue? or know about if there is indeed a gap between the lcd and the glass?
Well, no one seems interested in this thread, but here goes anyway. Just in case someone does have same issue later on:
usb microscope arrived today and here are the pictures:

Under 500X
It clearly shows that its not a dead or stuck pixel. there is definitely something between the LCD and the glass. Which would mean that there is a gap between the LCD and the front glass. I thought that there isn't a gap as the LCD is bonded to the glass.
Have to find time to take it to sony and see what they say I guess.

Hello everyone!!
I need help quickly! I have the same problem with my XZ, i have dust under the digitizer (only visible on white and green light), if I send it on RMA, will they change the screen and digitizer (I heard somewhere that they need to do that because it's sticked together), or just clean the dust?

Sony took it in for repair, took them nearly 3 weeks but ended up giving me a new phone (different IMEI and newer manufacturing date). Not quite sure why I got a new phone but it was all good!

[Q] Does your screen have uniform color (or color temp?)

So we were discussing this on the other forum--google "uniform screen color" on android central for the thread. Someone posted that their screen color wasn't uniform, and so I shared my experience below.
I had to return my turbo because there was clear but subtle color difference depending on the area of the screen--almost like the color temp was getting warmer in the lower right corner, or like someone described, like there was too much brightness in one area vs another. It got more obvious to me as i used the phone, especially for reading ebooks.
When using the app "display test" from the play store, and the "viewing angle test" graphic, it was obvious that contrast, color, and white balance was different in the lower right corner.
I returned it, argued forever (2 hrs) with the manager at verizon who couldn't see it...until I showed him the test graphic, and he looked at the various parts of the screen with a jewelers loupe (magnifier.) They replaced it as a defect, but said it was so subtle they were basically doing me a favor. I disagree, but whatever, time will tell on these displays.
The new one, while MUCH better....still does not provide uniform color temp and brightness. It's disappointing, given how great this display was supposed to be.
I'd love if anyone else could look at the test graphics and see for yourselves...but be forewarned, as I said in the other forum, once you see it you can never unsee it......
And yes I took the plastic off of the screen.
Sadly I see the same on mine. Originally had a ballistic nylon model which had the issue and have since switched to the standard with the same. Mine is almost more of a banding horizontally across the screen almost like it heats up and cools down a few times through the height of the screen.
It's very, very slight on mine. Can't decide if its a swap issue for me yet.
Shame we don't have a way to back these up for issues, I just got it where I wanted it!

Huh? Its AMOLED RGBG, possibly the WORST display technology ever invented. How can you have expected it to be "great"?
I'm in the same boat. It's more noticeable on a white background. Any chance it can improve over time? I recall iphones having similar issues a couple years ago and people saying there was a "break in" period.
No idea. Decided to live with mine last high and today considering a return this afternoon, lol.

I definitely have an incredibly noticeable pinkish tint at the top of my screen. This is quite infuriating.

Are you going to exchange it? I thought about doing this, but I'm afraid the replacement might be just as bad or worse. I have the pinkish tint on the bottom half of the screen.
I'm curious as to how open Verizon will be to exchanging it for such a "minor" issue. I just got a replacement because calls wouldn't work on my first one, so I was able to get some pretty good comparison photos (both phones at max brightness viewing the same images in QuickPic with no ambient light photographed with my 5D): New phone is on the left.

I think I am going to do the same.
My 3rd Turbo, after 2 14-day exchanges, only has a small line of pink about an inch up from the bottom. However, it also goes away depending on viewing angle (it shifts up once I view it past like 45 degrees tilting the top away from me). So who knows.
I know this is an old thread but I got my Moto Maxx today and it has this same issue towards the top part of the phone. I got it from swappa from a store in PR so I'm wondering if I should see if they will swap it out for me but it seems like all of them have it to some degree or another? I have also seen similar posts about the nexus 6 (not low brightness pink hue issue but like this, uneven temp) I'm wondering if I should go through the trouble if the next one will be the same
Just got my turbo last week and noticed pink discoloration about an inch down from the top and half an inch up from the bottom, full width of the screen. To those who have had this device for several months, does the pink go away? Anybody out there manage to get a non pink one? Contemplating taking it back after flashing back to stock image. Thanks!
Edit: Here is a pic of the screen at full brightness taken with my LG G2. Oops, there is some pocket fuzz on glass, don't mind that. The right side of the pic is the top of my Turbo screen and has about twice as much pink as the bottom of the screen.

Here is my Turbo next to a good one at Costco. Mine is on the right. Pretty easy to see how pink it is:
Funny story really...so I got a new Turbo after making sure the screen was good - no discernible pinkness from normal viewing angles. I took it back to work and set it on the wireless charger I got at Verizon a few days ago. When I set it on there, the phone apparently crashed and booted into Fastboot. I was surprised but thought maybe the case I put on it was pushing the volume and power buttons down, but nope it wasn't. OK, so I chose to Start from Fastboot, it rebooted right back into Fastboot...uh oh. I chose Factory and hit the button aaaaaaaand this Droid was never living again. It went black and doesn't do jack now. It charges still, so that part of it still functions, but nothing you push will cause it to display anything or vibrate, etc. Great.....back to Costco I go. This time the dude was all "You know...you fulfilled your early-upgrade requirements by sending in the Razr, you could probably swap your dead Turbo for any phone if you do Edge". Hmm, this was unexpected...welcome, but unexpected. I had the S6 staring me in the face and I know they got root on the Verizon version, so I got one of those, joining the sheep. I do miss the Turbo, but the S6 is nice, too. I don't know which one I like better yet, but I'm leaning towards the S6 without letting the 2 bad Turbo's sway my opinion. I did lose about $100 in screen protectors, cases, and Mofo with the Turbo experiment, but it was worth it to get upgraded 7 months before my upgrade date.
And ya the Verizon dude noticed the hash in the notification for the "SU binary update" or whatever, and SuperUser in the app drawer...and he just laughed. Glad I didn't waste my time restoring it back to the stock image.

Just got my turbo last week and noticed pink discoloration about an inch down from the top and half an inch up from the bottom, full width of the screen. To those who have had this device for several months, does the pink go away? Anybody out there manage to get a non pink one? Contemplating taking it back after flashing back to stock image. Thanks!
Edit: Here is a pic of the screen at full brightness taken with my LG G2. Oops, there is some pocket fuzz on glass, don't mind that. The right side of the pic is the top of my Turbo screen and has about twice as much pink as the bottom of the screen.

mine has a similar issue. the lower half of the screen has a pinkish hue. did yours get fixed?

Whitestone Dome Glass blocking blue light

I was planing to buy the Dome glass for Note 20 ultra. Then I notice the Dome glass for Note 20 Ultra having the blocking blue light feature. I used one of those blocking blue light glass protector before. It makes my screen looks yellowish. The color of picture and video are all looks in weird color. I am wondering about how's color look like after using the Dome glass for Note 20 ultra. Will it turn to yellow as well?
It seems only the glass for Note 20 and ultra are having blocking blue light feature. The glass for S20 does not have this feature.

Ridiculous.
If I wanted my screen to look that way I'd have a wolf piss all over it!
i just Installed AMfilm glass protector on my note 20 Ultra, no tint. loving it
Find my answer in Q&A session on Amazon. Someone said it changes the screen to a slight orange color.
It does not effect the colors on the screen at all. The WSD quality is not what it use to be though.

Why a wolf, specifically?

I use the same protector and love it! I actually have a couple codes I don't need because I bought several and they contacted me. Most of my family and friends have upgraded to the Note 20 ultra. So I recommend this glass and I get stuck installing them on everyone's phone. Lol

Goes back nearly 20 years ago when sampling Luxeon Star white LEDs. Some had a green-yellow tinge that we nicknamed "wolf piss green".
A lot of the IPS displays of Surface devices had that sickly green-yellow cast too. Fortunately, it could be nearly eliminated to tolerable levels by calibration. Of course backlight bleed was horrendous. Surface Pro 7 and Surface Laptop 3 screens seem to have fixed both (finally).
Personally, cannot wait for OLED to take over all displays.

I sent you a private message.
I didn't notice the change, looks fine to me, turning on blue light filter is MUCH oranger. Still, I wonder if this new "feature" is why the fingerprint sensor is having issues on the N2U glass.

Agreed.
The 20 U has a near perfect color/gamma correct rendering. One filter skews all that down the toilet. The blue wavelength is one of the visible spectrums the OLEDs are designed to emit. Simply dail it down on the software side if it upsets you.
The eye damage done by blue light is across a band of wavelengths in the blue range not one single wavelength.
Even if you could filtering out a specific* blue wavelength it wouldn't work unless you deliberately wanted to be blue color blind.
The damage is cause because it a more energetic wavelength and the eye isn't as sensitive to blue as green; takes far more blue light than green to be perceived.
The same is true with the red wavelengths but these aren't as energetic and cause far less damage.
UV is even worse than blue but is beyond the human visual range so it can safely be filtered out with no impact on color perception. Ordinary glass filters out shorter UV wavelengths, the most dangerous.
*even a notch filter deattenuates adjacent wavelengths
I placed the glass half over the screen and tested before installing and noticed no difference at all. It would have gone back had it looked like what the blue light filter setting does.

Can you provide a link to this
I saw NO visible change by holding it up with the screen on a white background. or by installing.
I am thinking it's more of a marketing ploy.
I can also say this isn't true. But...don't buy a glass screen protector for this phone if you want a fps that works well..
