Title,
Is this a thing w/ OLED screen?
It loses colors just before the screen goes off for a brief second. Something that doesn't really bother me, but enough to annoy me.
I was able to turn this off in developers option by turning the animation to none or zero whatever that option was.

You are absolutely right, that does the trick.
I was thinking that would solve the problem, but didn't actually think it was it.
Thanks ?
Screen turns grey just before it actually turns off
Im having the same grey screen issue on my new Note 8. Can you explain where and how I can change this? Thanks a lot.
That is really odd, I have animations to 0.5 and the screen just goes off, no color changing to gray scale, 950F 128 GB
All three of thr notes ive come across go monochrome , normal.

There's a yellow tint that automatically turns on at night. I have the blue light filter turned off, but it still turns on, has anyone else noticed this?

I haven't noticed that but it might be a safety feature they force implement? Don't know. That both good and bad though if it's forced on.

Turns out the stock android night light settings were carried over when I signed into my Google account. The setting is hidden on the Note, but still there.
Is anyone having any trouble with setting screen mode to vivid?
When I switch to vivid, the entire screen becomes very orange, to a degree that something is clearly wrong. It looks like the blue light filter is turned on, even though it isn't. And turning on the blue light filter makes it much worse. It's like there is a single application of blue light filter permanently active, and then a full second layer being added when actually turning the blue light filter on.
This is coming from someone who generally runs Warm1 or Warm2 settings on my TVs and monitors. This isn't just a warm white, this is distinctly orange. Changing back to natural brings the white levels back to a normal level that I would say is pretty neutral, if not slightly warm.
When set to vivid, changing the white balance between warm and cool does almost nothing; the change is so subtle that you have to actually flip back and forth several times to notice it. And changing the RGB in advanced settings does absolutely nothing.
A couple other facts to note:
- I do not have any type of screen protector; the one that was on the phone out-of-the-box has been removed.
- This isn't just related to the angle at which I am viewing the phone; it is consistently orange from every possible angle.
- Blue light filter, night mode, and adaptive brightness are all turned off.
Is anyone else experiencing this, or is it just on my end? I have restarted the phone several times. I would really like to avoid a factory reset if possible.
i find mine to be more warm in natural mode however is been known that the screens on the S10 are much warmer than s9/n9 due to the reduction in blue light
if in vivid mode - please access the manual setup maybe the red is setup to max or something
Check that you do not have night light also selected in the drop down settings, as the s10 already has blue light filter reduction.
Mine was like that originally. Had to install Play Books and then turn off it's version of night mode. Seems that even though I didn't install it on this phone, it's night mode somehow still carried over.

As I said in my post, it doesn't matter what I set the RGB values to, they make no difference. And the whites look just fine in Natural mode, so it's not the screen, it's a software issue.

As I already said in my post, the blue light filter is turned off. It's off in the quick settings and off in the actual settings. I can turn it on and it doubles the problem; turning it back off returns to the normal problem.

I've never used Play Books before. Installed it just now and there's no night mode in it.
So it looks like the bug is tied to setting a schedule for the blue light filter. This morning the overly orange effect was gone. It seems likely that the setting somehow carried over from my previous phone and stayed separate from the one on this phone. Unfortunately, this probably means I will need to factory reset because there is no way of accessing this second schedule.
I won't be the only person that has carried over data from a previous phone and used a scheduled blue light filter. I hope Samsung fixes this in an update so that others don't have to deal with it.
In Play Books, open any free book and click on
then disable the schedule and hit turn it off now if it's on
Edit: screenshots aren't showing up for some reason. Anyway open any free book, tap in the middle of the page to bring up the menu bar at the top, tap on "Aa" and then night light settings. Set the schedule to "None" and hit end now if your screen is currently orange.
My wife has never installed Play Books, and that still fixed it for her.

Good to know, thanks. If the issue comes back again tonight, I will try this.
I think there is some hidden night mode in android which Play Books ties into. My wife's old Pixel had a night mode setting in the settings app which she had set up, and the new S10 night mode looks entirely different. Think copying settings and accounts over brought the hidden night mode settings over, and Play Books is just the easiest way to access that hidden setting.
The Play Books trick worked. Thanks guys!
Exactly like @lightmastertech said, the vanilla Android night mode settings are hidden but still active, and it carried over from my Pixel 3. Play Books allowed me to access this menu (odd that it's still there, 100% intact) and disable it.

Google's gonna get a lot of downloads for Play Books now, lol. Only app I could find that accessed the system night mode an not its own filter overlay. Glad it worked for you man! ?

I have a s10+ and just noticed I have the same exact issue. I posted earlier on the s10+ forums.. Natural looks much cooler
Nevermind.. the playbook trick worked. I came from a pixel and had the blue light setting turned on much earlier than my s10+. Thanks @lightmastertech @Sevael
Wow, just wow. Ran into this tonight for the first time because I wanted to try out the Vivid colour mode. What an amateur oversight by Samsung to not prevent the stock night mode from running. For those that want to have access to this setting without Play Books, you can use Quick Shortcut Maker and just search for Night Light, then launch the returned result. It will put you right into the stock Night Light mode.

Can you now change the color temperature after play book trick? I cannot still change it.
I just had to bump this because of the absolute cavalcade of potential issues that can cause the screen to appear tinted. I've googled this for almost a year now after only noticing the yellowing of my screen when in Google photos. Then the random tinting was happening at sunset and every forum pointed to blue light, vivid setting, night modes etc... To find this elusive setting in play books of all places, to fix an issue that's plagued me through my last 3 devices, to the note 10 I'm on now, and it's finally fixed. Thanks. Thanks a lot.
I have only just bought an S10, and I have the same issue as OP. I have installed play books and followed instructions on this thread, but can't find in on play books night light settings set the "schedule" to "none" and hit end now.
Thank you so much ! Same happened to my FOLD - You solved it for me !

You are a genius - I had this happen to my new Galaxy Fold - it suddenly became warm and dim and I couldnt figure out what happened - Searched forums and found your solution - This must be pinned in all SAMSUNG forums
Thanks !

Did you find out the solution?
Need some help from the group. I took my phone out of my pocket this afternoon and my AOD was all the sudden displaying in Landscape only. It is the big digital clock and has never done it before. I reboot phone, turned AOD off and back on and nothing worked. I locked the phone in both portrait and landscape orientations, tried rotating the phone while locked and nothing changes it back.
I could not find anything in the menus for this and I could not see anything that changed.
Any help to get it back to normal is appreciated.

I've had my Note 9 (SM-N960U) for a month, and I love it. However, one annoying issue keeps popping up. I have the blue light filter automatically enabled between sunset/sunrise. Sometimes the screen remains yellow/red after sunrise. When that happens, I manually toggle the blue filter, but the screen retains a yellow/red tint. I can reboot the phone, but it never recovers the stock blueish/white tint. The only solution that I have found is a factory reset, which returns the color temperature to normal. This has happened twice, and it is a major PITA restoring all of my apps and settings. FWIW, I am on the latest firmware and April security patch. Anyone else have this issue?

If you use the Google books app see if you have the night mode set on in that app. I was having this weird issue and I saw that I had set the tone to night mode for night time reading. That was causing my whole phone to become yellow instead of only doing it to the app.
