I am positive that I am being paranoid about this but I thought I'd ask you guys anyway - when you guys use light flow to control the LED - if its a mixed color like, white, orange, cyan - do you see residue of indiviual led colors around the notification light? I mean when I do white I see a tint of green in one corner of the notification area, a bit of yellow, a bit of red but from a distance it looks white. I know white is a mix of all those colors but I just wanted to confirm that the LEDs on my phone arent out of place.
The notification LED isn't uniform; that's normal. It's good enough, you shouldn't bothered by it, as long as you can tell red from orange and the likes.
Thanks for the response!
Rgb led.

i see the mixed colors as well for the color white. my nexus one LED did not do this, but i figure it's normal since samsung used RGB to make up the LED. they just must have positioned them differently in such a way that there is slight bleed thru. no big deal to me.

Our Nexus Ones had a large translucent trackball to further mix the colors....
Yep, whatever diffuser they put over the top of the rgb led doesn't mix colors very well at all. I almost miss the Nexus One track ball.
Could be worse, the Nexus S doesn't even have a notification LED.
it will get bad when we're *****ing about phones that didn't holographically project who sent you a text or email. but then again who wants to see your grandma naked?
The other day I noticed that my once stock white colored notification LED was acting strangely. It now is multicolored and seems to have a slight flicker when it goes off. I went through Samsung US support steps, removed apps, then full factory reset. Still same problem. I installed Light Flow and tested all colors. Most work but still with a bit of a flicker. White is not working. It displays in three colors, yellow pink and green/blue? I suppose my LED has broken. Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a solution? Samsung US will not support the repair as it is an international GSM phone.
Thank you.

Yeah white isn't really white, its a combination of three colors. Its normal.. no biggie
Well mine is also like that..

I have had my phone since January and it was always a white notification. My old Nexus One was also always a plain white notification. I am pretty sure thats what stock Android intends it to be. The multicolored just started. Either way Light Flow when set to White should display a white notification but it cannot. I am almost certain my LED is defective. Anyone else?

As proved by Newton:
White light is the effect of combining the visible colors of light in suitable proportions (the same present in solar light).

Ok, so... no help here. Thanks anyway, guys.
I sure wish my LED could be fixed. <head down>
Everything you describe is normal.
You probably just never noticed it before.
I actually did notice it and that is why I have posted here. The notification light is supposed to be white. Not multicolored. I know this phone like the back of my hand. The led has changed.
Mine has been like exactly what you've described on both Nexus' that I've owned.

It's a tri-colored LED (red, green, blue).
It displays different colors by mixing those 3 primary colors.
To get white, it mixes all 3.
The 3 LED's aren't close enough together, so around the edges you'll see the individual colors, but in the center it will appear white.
At certain distances/angles/lighting conditions, it can appear almost fully white.

If you insist that it was pure white before, then somehow you had a white LED and it has transformed into a RGB LED.
I'm pretty sure no Galaxy Nexus's were shipped with a white LED, and certainly not ones that can transform.
AFAIK
The notification LED at the bottom of the phone has always been a 3 color LED. Red, green and blue. To get white it turns on all 3. Other colors are variations on a theme.
Thank you, terryhau.
My notification light does not look like it does in that video. It is now mostly pink with a green hue no the bottom portion and a purple/blue color in the top left hand portion. It DID NOT used to be like this.
I guess I need to post a pic somehow.
Maybe something like an update or .apk has changed the behavior of the LEDs like reduced the output which would explain why you now see all 3 colors instead of white.

I did a full factory reset hoping that may be the case. No luck. This hasn't happened to anyone else?

The video shows that it is not pure white, but a mixture of colors. Kind of hard to see because of the bad camera.

Yes. And in the video it shows what my led looked like about three days ago. It no longer displays that way. Now the three colors are glaringly obvious with a bit of a flicker as it fades out.
I am having the same issue. I have a galaxy nexus from sprint and the play store. the sprint one is perfect. all colors requiring a mix of colors show perfectly like pink, magenta, lime etc. However the play one does not. its almost like its off center so with lime you will see a bit of green and then orange on one side. Pink is slightly pink on one section then almost white every where else. Purple is purple and then has a nice section of blue on one edge.
So my question is those who have replaced your screen is the led attached to it or is it part of the speaker daughter board?
My led is darned close to white (accepting Newton's physical laws etc.). I'm thinking that if yours has changed then perhaps it's damaged, but perhaps your rom settings have (been) changed and your notification colour is now set differently (by default). What rom are you using?
I'm using CM9, which nominally allows me to have notifications in different colours for different apps. I find when I pick colours from the chooser, though I'm meant to have complete control over the colour, in reality I can get white, red, blue, green, and different rotations of rainbows.
Clarification: when I say I can get 'red, blue, and green', I mean properly: I get a solid circle of whichever one of those colours I'm aiming for. But anything else (e.g. yellow, orange, cyan, magenta, lilac, etc.) will be a the chosen colour in a small part of the circle, and an array of all the other colours elsewhere in the rest of the circle.
i can get all those colors too... but only on a portion of the window. white will show green, blue and pink on the side.. but not just around the edges. I think this is what the OP was talking about. I honestly do not think its a software issue as i am running lightflow on both of my nexus's and one is has run cm9 and AOKP witht he same results. It has to be a hardware issue. So if any one can answer this, is the LED attached to the screen or the lower speaker daughter board?
Did I get a faulty Note II? I am using Light flow and certain colors are not working right. For example pink has a tiny pink dott, the rest of it looks purple/bluish. Orange seems to be comprised of two colors, yellow and green etc... A lot of colors, that are supposed to be different from each other, look the same and all are comprised of blue, purple and some other colored parts. The only colors that really work seem to be blue, red and green. Is it just me? I miss my old Xperia Mini as far as this is concerned...
If you're colorblind, please disregard this thread. Rate this thread to express how you deem the color saturation and accuracy of the Samsung Galaxy S10+'s display. A higher rating indicates that you think that color accuracy is very high and saturation is excellent.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I hope samsung reads this!
I had posted this on another thread. But it is a real issue!
I'm having a serious problem with color saturation and actualy changing colors of objects. Im guessing that is related to color saturation. But burnt brown is not orange, turquois is not regular blue. Light blue is not white, reds are not orange or a kids red paint color.. This has some serious issues. I do jewelry and cabochons from natural materials IE Stone and metals.. This is swful! There also seems to be a lack of when different colors in the same spectrumare together being blended or blurred. One stone i have has some blue and green, cream and light cream.. light cream is white.. it cant differetiate there the blue and green mixed together and picks one. I can go on and on..
I also took the time to try and get some sunset photo's.. Didn't get one no matter how hard i tried... it made it daylight, it canceled out all the colors of the sunset.
Camera is awful! unneeded light added on all photos, can't find a way to adjust properly or tell it NOT TOO!. color balance.. what color balance.. changes hues of all colors. objects with multiple close colors merge into one flat color.. pulls a color in the back of front color through. reds... forget it! This is worse the my s7
I waited to get another phone thinking upgrades would be made.. this is a STEP BACKWARDS.. a few steps!
Have a similar problem
Have a similar problem
Colors are pale(Mainly skin color)
The colours of the display are the most accurate you could get on a mobile device, however this panel seems to appear slightly reddish compared to previous generations, this is because of the hardware blue light filter.
Enabling Vivid mode and choosing a colder temperature completely solves the problem.

You must have a defective unit, my sunset looks as it was when I took the photos. It wasn't the most colorful of sunsets but it is as it was. No color misrepresentations here. Action photos look fine to me as well. Yes, I realize this section is meant for the display but I had to reply to your rant.

Correct me if I'm wrong, sliding the slider to blue side should be cooler and warm the other end right?
Photo with no sunset color is the s10. The other is a camera program off playstore. That one is pretty dark for the closer objects but picked up the color.
I'm not ready to give up on the phone. Other then this issue I love the phone.

Does this effect the camera operations of just screen mode... I'm having an issue of the camera throwing out WAY too much white. Warmer obviously makes it yellowish. I dont use the Blue light filter. makes my screen yellow

On the sliders.. Blue is supposed to be cool and orange/red warm.. My siders are doing the opposite!! Am I wrong?

It doesn't affect your camera or content, it's just how the display appears to you.
Make a video of the sliders and show us.

It seems to be a bug, but I thought you were talking about display temperature, not photo, the thread is for display colour accuracy
Best screen to me, better than the note 9.

Browsing/reading forums/pages with white/grey backgrounds i notice some mild pink clouding in particular area's of the screen.
Are a lot of A50 screens affected by this or do you have a perfect display?
Thankfully I haven't noticed anything off about the screen so far. Blacks are good as expected of amoled screens and theres no discoloration on the whites or any hues. How long have you had your phone for and did you check if the blue light filter is enabled on your phone? I know the blue light filter makes the screen have some reddish pinkish tone.
Send the first A50 back, couldn't live with the uneven pink hue. Received a new one today which is flawless! Very happy with a win in the amoled lottery.
