Huawei P20 pro Secondary rate amoled screen??!! - Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers

https://youtu.be/XIMLoLxmTDw
Hello everyone.. I'm sorry for bad English but try to understand it's important..
I think that Huawei cheated us with p20 pro..
We paid 890 euros for one of the best mobiles in the market and Huawei used second rate display of amoled.. And please tell me did you paid 890 euros for second rate display? I don't think so..
So follow the instructions and you will see what I mean.
Go on a completely dark room, without light at all..
Use brightness 100%
Click the video and turn your phone to watch it on full screen..
W8 for the a little bit and you will see white colours coming out from your screen and tell me..
Is that normal for amoled panel?
No its not.. Black should be completely black...
I took my phone to Huawei fix center and they refuse to see.. They don't recognize it as problem and they refuse to give me my money back..
What do you say?? Check the same with s9 and s9+.
P20 pro user.

no such problem on my device.

You mean you have some dead pixels?

No dead pixels, no white lines, just a properly working Amoled screen.

Had major light leak from the bottom of the screen it could only see it on a black background in low light

Look better with more dark. All device has the same.
Black is only black not even a peace of white noise

You will see white noise around of the screen and in. The. Middle of it..
That's is not 100% amoled screen. Do the same check with s9 and s9+

I have no white noise. Not sure what more I can say, I do NOT have the problem you are describing, end of.

No problems on mine either. The screen is pitch black on that YouTube video

No problem on mine.
Also, why on earth are you paying €890 if you just received it? They're available for at or below €700 now.

I can see what you mean. I can see it even on low brightness. I have never done this test before, so cannot comment on other oleds I've owned.
Could it be compression? I say this because after seeing the effect in this video. I tested others, and i found that the severity of the effect is lesser. Also the uniformity changed between videos, whilst staying consistant to each.
Your video was much more pronounced than some others, this makes believe that there is something else in the works.
I know when i use a pure black wallpaper, the screen is perfect black. Also im pretty sure the AOD has pure blacks too

[Q] different panel?

since so many say that the xperia z comes with different panels i would like to know more about this
my main concern would be black level
when i first started up my xperia z i was shocked by the black level it was not black at all it was just like this
http://i50.tinypic.com/v8ao6.png
i made a thread about it and was told that the black level will improve itself through self callibration?
then i saw this video
skip to 1:03
makes the whole different panels theory more beleivable unless ofcourse that part of the video has no backlight allthough the first part of the video also has a very good black level it looks black it's even and it has no traces of light or white in it
could someone explain this to me
does the screen actually self calibrate after some time as the black level i saw at the sony boot logo was grey as the above picture
i will soon have two of these phones to compare to eachother seeing if their displays are different
i can also see people have found different names of panels in their phone JDI or SHARP which one is the better one?
and interestingly enough the phone i started/had had a very good viewing angle from what i could see i saw it for 2 seconds but i saw no actual changes in the picture from a different angle
WOW that was very apparent. bumping thread for interest, as those black levels were pretty absolute at 1:03
anyone know what that was?

Mine boots up the same as that. Grey at first then darker after the xperia logo has wiggled across a couple of times. No idea why though.

i sent a message to sony about this they said this
Hi there. The video provides the information you want...Specially in 1:03 and on. -Francis
i was now told they are the same panels it has been proven
It has being proven (going into the code itself) that the panels are all the same (docomo version and non branded Z) that same forum has the information on this. On the battery life check this endurance test by GSM arena: http://blog.gsmarena.com/sony-xperia-z-battery-test-is-ready-here-come-the-scores/

Mi Mix 2 has the most colour accurate display of all flagship in 2017 - GSMArena

https://www.gsmarena.com/top_10_phones_of_2017_best_screens-news-28627.php
The above article was published a few days ago. It compares the display quality of various flagships based on its visibility in sunlight and colour accuracy.
And our beloved Mix2 is the one with the best color accuracy, even better than iPhone X's OLED panel!
awesome
The colours on the screen are awesome. Its the best on any phone ive seen, which isnt that many of the current phones, but this article is very impressive.
Hi friends. This is one amazyng phone with great colour display... But i have some opinion...
Seems that bottom 1/3 of display is yellow, mostly on white background menu...
Is this factory faulty or problem with calibration of display ? Maybe my phone have factory faulty...
This is so ugly.

Since the screenshots you sent are clear, it's probable that the display panel is the issue. Many people with this issue are asked to take it to a service centre as far as I've seen on several forums. So if it's really bothering you, you must contact them.
That yellow tint is known from One Plus One days.
JDI ("feature") is obvious hardware flaw.
http://en.miui.com/thread-1392444-1-1.html
I guess it is present on every single Mix2 display, but few people can notice that easy...
Here is one from 1+1
https://forums.oneplus.net/attachments/uqehla1jl9bt-jpg.37637/
Here is the official explanation of what causes that pi$$ like tint:
https://youtu.be/Ft0izZJZxb8?t=873

Pixel 4XL screen hue

Is it just me or the pixel 4XL screen has a bit of greenish-yellowish tint to it with Ambient EQ off? I'm kind of nit-picky so it's been bugging me lately.
It's a consequence of having 90hz at a lower brightness. Unless it's like that even at a higher brightness level?
Yup. I don't know why it's the 90hz cause never had this problem with my 7 pro.
I do find it is calibrated to green even in normal conditions

Interesting, since I do see multiple reports about the same problem on the 7pro and 7t regarding green tint.

I've seen 7t but when you look a lot them are not the same and they look more like hardware issues.
I've had the 7 pro since launch and have had the community app, XDA and Reddit which I look at regularly and I've never come across a thread about a green tint because of 90hz
At 100% brightness it looks fine, But if I dim it to 75% or lower, there's a little bit of green tint when you look at it on a white background.

Can you disable 90hz on the oneplus devices? If you can then maybe it just never occurred to them to try to disable 90hz and see if the issue still persists. It certainly didn't dawn on me until I saw someone else having the issue and they reported disabling 90hz solved the problem.

I tried disabling 90Hz. It does not correct the issue of the green hue. It is not as bad, but it is still there. What disabling 90Hz eliminates (mostly) is the red-shift that occasionally occurs.
It's doing my head in now. My screen has a green hue, really bad on Grey's, worse the dimmer it is. I can turn my screen off and on and instead of a green hue it's purple and super contrasty instead. Going to try a replacement but I'm not expecting it to be much difference as seeing same problems from other users.
The black crush in lower brightness seems to be worse than the op 7 pro too

Don't waste your time with a replacement i did and it's the same, Google have calibrated it like this deliberately do a search on Google. Will wait for the 5 unless they've sold even less pixels this year than last year in which case we may not a see a pixel again while that current development team is in place.

Did you also turn smooth display off as well? Since as of the Nov update it kicks into 90hz at lower brightness levels now.
Pixel 4xl has very warm display. Staying next to my note 9 looks bad. Basically no whites unless 90 plus brightness.

Hi guys I have a pixel 4 whose display shows some green spots while displaying blacks. Do you think it's burn in or it rather be the green tint that everybody talks about? Thank you very much, I don't know if I have to do a replacement or not ?
ps. if you zoom in the right corner you can see these green spots

Looks like you have some stuck pixels there in this case the green sub pixel is stuck. Could try to run a stuck pixel fixer and let it run for awhile. But honestly ,it looks like you have so many that a miracle would be required. I would just contact support and have them RMA.

Black Crush?

So I've been watching a few videos on our Redmi K20 Pro(India) and I've realised that the video appears to be pixelated when it has darker scenes! Apparently, this issue is known as 'Black Crush' and now I can't unsee it especially when playing movies which are generally dark! Movies are unwatchable since all the darker color are crushed to black. Is there any fix for this? S9/S9+ used to suffer from similar issue and it was fixed by a software update! Will Xiaomi issue a fix if enough number of people have this issue?
More details about the issue: https://www.tomsguide.com/us/galaxy-s9-black-crush-display-issue,news-26969.html?

I don't see it, I've used 4k quality on that video, it auto pics 360p and there's clear pixels but as soon as I pumped it upto 1080, 1440p and 4k I did not see any pixelation

I'm not talking about pixelation due to lower resolution! If you look carefully at the darker areas of the video you can see blocks/pixels as if all the darker areas have been mixed/crushed together! You are lucky if you don't see it! Once you see it you can't unsee it just like the black bleeding issue of amoled. ?
BTW what is your ROM version?
PS: Lower your brightness to see black crush in all its glory.

Same issue
Hey, I'm facing the black crush issue in my redmi k20 pro with miui 12. It looks very worse. So, Xiaomi is using different panels for the same mobile model. Can it be fixed through the software updates.
Black crush in videos is NOT an hardware problem but rather a problem in colorspace of the video you are watching (virtually every streaming app suffers from this due to the compression they put the videos through)

AMOLED SCREEN

For the last 2 weeks i have identified an issue with its amoled screen. Under low light condition, with brightness level at its minimum, and with dark gray color as background (e.g. Dark mode in facebook), I noticed some lines of black and white which irritates my usage. I compared this with my mate 20 pro and I have not seen any of it. Iv tried to look about this in the internet but Im not sure. There are articles that say its banding, some say glue gate issue. Any thoughts?

I just spoke to Huawei Support here in Sweden.
They hadnt heard about this problem yet but they promised to check it up and get back to me.
I also informed him about my camera problem which is that pictures taken in normal cam mode ends up brighter and HDR like. This is not a problem on my mate 9 and mate 20.
Only way of getting pictures right is to switch to pro mode or change the filter....

Jolly good, mate!
But it would be nice knowing what kind of display they will replace with... Hopefully Samsungs or LG's.
I hope Ill get mine fixed. They pain is to start all fresh from scratch after though... Even with backing up Ill always end up having to manage my themes, icons, Apex launcher, modded apps/games, game data from Super Clone etc. Not to speak about Dual Space app(s), Google Play Storet etc etc....
Hmmmm...
Last night I discovered another screen/image issue...
I have a photo of my son as wallpaper. When I lowered the brightness to minimum (in a dark room), the photo looked like a 8-bit coloured photo from the 80's... Low colours, high contrast and looked like a sketch!!!!
Yes, it looks like hell and when you close it completely too ...
Why would you keep the screen with brightness to a minimum ??
Almost nothing can be seen ...

Just wonder how to explain properly for Huawei support here in Sweden in order for a replacement. They still havent got back to me yet......
Any updats about the screen issue, Zaxarive?
Huawei support, Sweden just called me.
1. They will escalate the issue with the camere higher up and get back to me.
But I guess the issue with "brighten up"/processed images from "normal" camera mode is caused by Huawei's new feautre "Ultra vision/Cine"... Never the less, it would be nice beingbable to turn it off when needed. I mean the whole thing just basiclly feels like a "HDR function", something that on iPhones have been a feautre the past 10 years. Apple lets you turn it off/on...
2. Most likely our problem with our displays in low brightness comes from having a OLED instead of a Super AMOLED... It just works in another way... Pity but the truth..! OLED has a much better blackness BUT with the costs of much harder to get a "sharp bright" image i low brightness mode....
Ill let you know when Huawei Support has got back to me.
Few months after any update?
