I'm not sure if this is just my phone or its like this on everyone else's phone.
The screen has a general yellow tint throughout the entire screen when viewed in portrait mode. This generally is ok with me if it's even throughout.. However when I turn the screen clockwise to the landscape mode, and there is a clear white band without any yellow tint approximately a quarter of an inch wide on the left side of the screen. If I reverse the orientation such that I turn the phone 180 degrees to the other landscape mode there is another white band but this time only an eighth of an inch or less.
You can test this out opening up the browser to Google since there is a lot of white in that Web page.
Please let me know if it's just my phone or an issue with the nexus in general. I've also tried different rooms and kernels without any differences.

It's defective. Some color misrepresentation is normal, but white bands are not.
Thanks for the reply, I'm not sure if it's a software issue as the band is not there in portrait mode, and only in landscape. And that also changes from landscape in one orientation as compared to 180 degrees in the other direction.

In my eyes yellow tint is what you want. Blue tint means the display is of poor quality,

Preference. Cooler displays and warmer displays. I prefer cooler.
Problem isn't cooler or warmer display. It the fact that when I turn the screen to landscape there is a section on the left that is pure white without the tint.. And it not there when it's turned back to portrait mode.

I see. Well it sure sounds messed up.
Understand it could be a software issue but any sort of banding can't be good might be better if you just sent it to the service centre

You can fix the yellow tint with franco's kernel.

I was also having this issue but after I flashed MiNCO ROM this issue disappeared.
I suggest you to try this ROM it comes with Franco kernel.

I just picked up a Galaxy Nexus from WIND Mobile.
I have to say, the one thing I dread the most about AMOLED is the black/bright contrast. My eyes are very sensitive, and whenever I see something bright against an intensely dark background I get halos and it's very difficult to focus. For this reason I prefer LCD screens where the blacks are slightly grey. Nonetheless I decided to make the leap to the GNex because I like a lot of other things about it.
Do you think there is any sort of hack that could make the AMOLED look a bit more like an LCD? I realize this would affect battery life but basically what I'd like is to hack the colour space so that black becomes maybe 1-5% grey. I remember on CM7 there were hacks that could apply filters to make white into a more salmon-pinkish hue, a warmer white, etc. What I'm looking for is the reverse - leave the white alone but make the blacks greyer.
Anyone think this might be possible?
I don't know a specific solution, but here are some options:
If you're rooted, francois kernel and app can adjust the Gama levels, affecting all colors, but may help.
App Log graph can adjust your auto brightness levels.
Yes I am rooted.
Does increasing the gamma change the black levels? If so that could help.

It seems to depend on the app. Some apps have a gentle dark grey gradient in the background. But the stock taskbar, even at full brightness, is just as black as the same part of the screen is when the screen is off.
Not trying to be a comedian here, but have you gotten your eyes checked lately?
Seeing halos is linked to several severe eyediseases or wearing wrong/none correction.
+1. Yup.

Fair enough. Optometrist says my eyes are healthy but I have large pupils that don't contract very efficiently. As a result I get halo effects at high contrast even when using proper vision correction. It's not something that poses a health threat otherwise. But he did advise me strongly against laser eye surgery as there would be a high risk of halos getting worse.
So that's me in a nutshell.

Super dim is a root app and it can lower the brightness below the normal values

I'm not looking to lower the brightness - I know how to do that already. I'm looking to decrease the contrast by making the black levels greyer.

Whenever my screen displays a black color in a certain few spots,you can see a weird black spot underneath that looks like oil leaking into the screen. You can only see this when the screen is dark and everything else works fine. Do you think this will be a big problem?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
All amoled phones have that. It looks like an ink spots or blotches. You can only see it in a pitch black room. Its not a problem and shouldn't be noticeable during regular use. You can get an app called LCD screen test if you really want to see the blotches in a dark room
..but I wouldn't worry about it!

Thanks, I was a bit worried that it might cause hardware problems in the future

Noticed yesterday. At the top of the screen where the status bar is and at the bottom where buttons are.
Turned on film on Netflix and noticed blueish tint in those places.
Does anyone else is having this as well ?
Is there NY way of stopping it ?

as far as i know the Gnex screen is an amoled screen not LCD. i didn't think amoled's could suffer from burn. don't quote me on it
AMOLED screens can get burn-in faster than LCDs... I rotate the screen and use it in landscape mode very often, to avoid such problems... It is good to use lower brightness too...

I use LMT Launcher and hide the navbar
but still have the same problem at the status bar
wow, i looked it up and yeah, it's the opposite of what i thought. here i was thinking amoled was better than lcd. i'm pretty shocked
Yes, eventually you wil see a burn-in effect on the navbar and status bar if you rotate the phone to landscape. I see it on my 9 months old gnex. Doesn't bother me enough to consider it an issue.

I've heard if you put an image on the screen that is just a blank white photo it will take the burn out. I'm not sure but I've heard it before

Even if that works, the burn in would soon return because the position of the navbar and status bar are on the same spot 95% of the time.

This is why I hide top and bottom bars. Amoled burns in very easily.

Would anyone know if the Samsung warranty covers this?
Screw hiding it, had enough of that in my nexus one days. I see a bit of blueish tint, nothing too drastic.

I very much doubt warranty covers a vaguely noticeable burn-in effect, that only shows if the phone is rotated in certain views with certain backgrounds.
I noticed on my new note on dark backgrounds some screen issues. I noticed a purpleish smear when i scroll on some dark background pages. Especially when i was scrolling thru a page here on xda on gray images a purple color smear would appear. Did anybody else come across this issue? Im exchanging it for another one tomorrow.

It won't matter if you exchange it or not. The new screen technology makes the pixels actually turn off so blacks are true blacks. When they turn back on it causes that purple smear, or at least that's the theory prior are saying in other threads about this issue.

I'm noticing this on Tapatalk right now - the purple smear with the brightness all the way down. I don't know about the color, but the squish blurred effect is surely intentional. I'll try messing with some of the color settings to see if it's affected.

Why does the screen look brownish when turned off? (Under direct sunlight or lots of light environments). On other phones it looks all black when display is not on.

Sorry I forgot to mention that you can see that during the day when outdoors or under direct light source. If you are in a dark room at night it looks black but if you have it in your car during the day and driving around, it looks brownish when off. I will take my other phone with me and take some pictures to show you.

I just tested it out with direct sunlight on the screen and my looks fine. Just plain black.

A little lighter (logically ), but in no way brown, reminds me of the look like my old Galaxy S4
ALL Screens with AMOLED look brownish/dark greenish when off and when looking from an angle.
Totally normal.
Thread can be closed.
I guess we have different eyes then
Never noticed this in a few years while using Samsung Galaxy S (first gen.) and I still don't notice any color change on OP3 no matter how hard I look. Even if I put it side by side with my previous phone with IPS.
Will wait for pictures, now I'm really interested to see that tint.
And will also try taking some pictures of my own to have something for more objective comparison (different color value of pixels).

I've got a similar issue I guess, the right side of my screen shows dark colours lighter than the left side of the screen. The left side looks normal.
It's noticeable when you have dark mode enabled and you pull down the quick settings toggles, but it kinda messes with me sometimes ????

That's sounds like a faulty screen... Same color should look the same everywhere on the screen.
