Galaxy nexus washed out screen

Hi. I ordered a galaxy nexus for my brother from expansys and received it today. The screen on it is not nearly as good as the one on my own device. The colors are really washed out and the greys are green. It seems like the gamma is really turned up. I rooted and flashed aokp and tried adjusting the colors and gamma but if you try lowering the green gamma settings, the whole screen turns green. Is there anything I can do? If not, Does anyone have any experience doing exchanges with expansys? I'll unroot and relock the phone of course. Any help would be appreciated

Thanks for the replies. I'll contact them. Did any of you buy one from expansys? Just want to know how they are with this stuff

i would definitely try to exchange it, if you can't then use a kernel with gamma control such as leankernel or glados (which i'm currently using), adjustable by editing sys/devices/platform/omapdss/manager0/gamma
mine has the washed out screen issue and editing gamma to 7 or higher makes it much better looking, but not perfect (still a lot of purple at low brightness)

Please refer to the defective screen sticky in the Q&A section, that can be found here, or one of the other threads in the General section already discussing screen defects.

GNex Black Spots

Hey everyone!
I've recently purchased a GNex from Google play and it had a yellow tinted screen to I called in for a replacement and on this one it has the black spots on an all black screen. I kinda don't wanna call in for another exchange but would if necessary. What I want to know is if the black spots will cause any future problems since I can live with only seeing them in dark rooms.

I see them too.. so does my other galaxy nexus... chances are your replacement will have them too, the only time i see them is on a completely black screen in a pitch black room. It doesnt bother me any other time. Although it would be bad if you had like an entire row.. how many exactly I only see like 4-6 on mine and on both they have them in nearly identical places.

Yes that's what I'm experiencing, I only see them in a pitch black room. I have probably about 10 small spots scattered around the screen. Do you happen to know if this would cause any future problems? Thanks for the reply

Doubtful. They will eventually multiply possibly. I'm not entirely sure I've gotten over it since. Doesn't bother me. Its am "only time will tell" kind of deal I guess.

reduced power/burn-in theme?

OLED on the S2 is awesome but the because its "+" the blue materials decay almost 5x faster, meaning color balance issues and burn-in. But wut about a pure black theme with yellow instead of white for letters(or just green, but only 1 sub pixel is twice as grainy as 2)and red for dividing lines? May not sound pretty, but I would appreciate it for my galaxy s, and used S2 owners would appreciate it the most by improving the screen longevity on one of the sexiest phones released.

+1 to your request.. I was using a sense 4.0 inspired theme, very bright colors.. The other day I just checked the phone in Test Mode, to my horror the status bar had burnt in.!!
I checked my warranty, had 27 days remaining so got the display unit replaced.. I dont want this one to go bad in 11 months..
Hence, I request too..!!!

Even tho i agree with your request and +1 for it, you should try screen adjuster from the market.
Ofc it doesn't save your screen colours but definately makes it look as it should with the right settings.

[Q] Yellow tint on new Note 2

So I got my new Note 2 today and after playing with it for a couple of hours I noticed a yellow tint when viewing white colors. Like if I visit a website I know use a pure white bsckground, I can see that there is a yellow tint.
The weird thing though is that if I slighty tilt my device, either way, I can see pure white again.
I remember having the same issue with my sgs2 too.
So my question is, do anyone else have this issue? Should I return it or what?

A lot of s3 have yellow on whites, i guess that some note 2s will have some yellow tints to some extent, seems Samsung hasn't completely solved the tint issue on amoleds...if you have a tint on your phone there is not much you can do, if u can try and get it replaced

Titanium grey wanted a really bizarre colour but this was all they had lol not really bothered about the colour....its still a powerphone on steroids

Other: Infrared.
I can see slightly into the infrared spectrum, which is useful because only I can see my Note II; to everyone else, it's just shimmering heat waves and a screen!

Mine is hooloovoo.

This is the 21st century...why should colour matter?
Judge not by the colour of its case but by the content of its specs sheet.

Well, i was thinking of white.. then when i got them both hands on, i preferred gray.. Then again, when i went into shop, they had only white (and i couldnt wait of course, i was already sick of waiting for Nexus 4 bullcrap), then i bought white...
And then, my friend bought gray 2 weeks ago.. And i was much more satisfied with the white one... Dont know why... Its a personal matter anyway

Does it really matter at all? 2 colors from which to choose. Not a lot of variance on answers.
Please kill these pointless poll threads. Starting to read like Facebook in here and killing the signal to noise ratio.

Sliver colour will be awesome ! :laugh:

I have the titanium.i was afraid the white would show marks and become dis-colored. Ive ordered a white screen protector though, and will end up with a white screen and titanium back.
