[Q] Would this qualify as defective?

My screen shows banding on screens with gradients, like the call log screen, or screens with certain colors, like when I'm playing wordfeud. Even when I'm browsing the white background has faint horizontal and vertical lines.
All of this is only visible when on the lowest brightness setting. So when I'm browsing in bed at night etc it's really annoying.
I went to the (3) store here in denmark, but because it was a well lit room, the problem was barely visible and they said they'd have to send it in for "assesment", and best if i could come back in January and send it in (for 2-3 weeks). I'm just afraid they'll just return it with "problem not found"
I DID manage to report the problem to them on the 14th day after i bought it, their own DOA limit, but I've got a feeling I'm going to get screwed. Especially because the in store phone ALSO seemed to show the same color banding on the call log background.
I've tried taking some pictures that maximize the problem here: http://imgur.com/a/CbKYi#9
Are you guys seeing the same thing on any of your devices?
I love the phone to death otherwise, but it's like a scratch on a brand new car, it's annoying me a LOT.

unfortunately, that's just how they all are. has to do with the display type. both of the nexus' i've had were the same way, as was the display unit in my local verizon store.

You aren't seeing "banding" in the traditional screwed up screen sense, you're seeing the back of the display. I think it's just part of being SAMOLED and Pentile. I never noticed it until I started reading all the threads about people complaining over "banding" (and I don't think you're complaining LOL ).
Bump it up from the dimmest setting just a bit and most of it will go away. Our dimmest setting is REALLY good, at least compared to my old SGS. I also like how are screens don't have that SGS SAMOLED blue tint to them.

go to that call log screen again and press vol down + power. then look at the screen shot on the computer.
it looks the same
the background is ment to look like that

All 4 phones and 7 models that I've gotten to use from Samsung have this problem.
SAMOLED just isn't very good yet.

happy to hear my phone is not defective, but then again im very disappointed that this is a quality issue with the phone.
I read tons off aritcles discussing the difference between Super AMOLED and Super AMOLED plus (pentile and RGB) and this forum probably did the best job of explaining it
now is this also the reason why whites arent really white while having hte phone in auto brighntess? is the screen is dim, my "people" app is not white, actually far from it. but when the brightness is maxed out it looks magnificent

I was disappointed by the screen quality at first too, but the more I use the phone the less I notice it. I've even started to really like other aspects of the display that were lacking in other phones with a "clean" screen. Colors are much more vibrant for one, this is very visible when watching videos on the phone when I'm at the gym.

Huawei Screen Red Tint Issue

Several /r/hwatch users are reporting a red tint on the screen even when it's supposed to be off (completely black pixels). Support tickets have been open but unfortunately there's no line to actually reach Huawei for support, only 3rd party call center (Knoah).
Are any of you experiencing this? Currently it seems to affect ALL Huawei Watches. See below for details.
http://www.reddit.com/r/hwatch/comments/3mcsdf/_/

Yup, did the test with a black watch face I did on Pujie, and I could indeed see a red cast when I went in a dark room. What would be the impact of this? It doesn't seem noticable except when you put on a completely black screen. When the watch face times out.. then it is completely black....

1. Ambient mode drains more battery than it should.
2. Risk of red pixel burn-in.
3. All images and watch faces are slightly more reddish than they are supposed to be causing it to look bad.
4. Dim faces on black backgrounds will have much lower contrast than they should making it difficult to read (like Wear Charge Widget)
5. For many, the Watch is their first Huawei device and first exposure to Huawei support which so far is proving to be pretty terrible. They have a 3rd party call center in the US (Knoah in Vegas) and no way to contact a Huawei employee directly to report the issue or understand what is causing it (is it hardware or software). What/if there is a fix. They have suggested swapping out the watch but so far all watches seem to be affected.

Same. I knew something wasn't right when I turned it on. Hangout contact images looked terribly over saturated and unnatural. And even in ambient mode, I could tell blacks weren't black like an OLED should be, putting out more light in a dark room watching TV. Huawei said it was only affecting a few devices and they'd swap it out but never did. So I bought another one overnight from Amazon and same issue.
Trying to raise awareness so Huawei will take it seriously because right now I think they are shrugging it off since they are the best reviewed smart watch.

Color saturation & accuracy

If you're colorblind, please disregard this thread. Rate this thread to express how you deem the color saturation and accuracy of the Honor 8'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!

Accurate? Nop. The display is way to cold by default. Even on the warm mode I can see a bit bluish. The display need some tweaking. Get it right honor!asap!

well saturated display, wish it was amoled

I haven't received mine yet, but the Anandtech review highlights the display as one of the weakest areas:
CCT: 8919K (should be 6500K, far too blue)
Average ΔE2000 greyscale: 8.82 (this is colour accuracy, and lower is better - this is one of the worst of any phone)
The red and green points are wide gamut, but the blue is short of sRGB.
They have more numbers, but needless to say the LCD panel is extremely poorly calibrated, and they claim that none of the colour calibration settings make anything better. I'm hoping in real life, it isn't as bothersome as in theory.
Can anyone who has theirs comment as to these specific concerns, because they're what's worrying me most...

It's rubbish really. Good contrast but nothing about it is correct.
*Gamma ranges from 1.2 in the midtones to 1.8 in the shadows, and just today I noticed it gets even worse if the ambient light sensor detects very bright conditions (gamma is made even worse to increase midtone brightness).
*Black level is 7 or 8 RGB levels too low.
*Color temperature is very blue and the color temperature setting provided does almost nothing, the range is too small.
No way to correct any of the above. Photographers and graphic artists should stay away from this phone.

This has me concerned, I was seeing the Honor 8 as my move back to Android (on an iPhone SE now bought in anger at the Nexus 5X's unbearable slowness), but it may not be. I couldn't resist $260... I won't actually get it until just before Christmas as I'm not in the US, it's being shipped to a friend.
Are there any third party tools that could fix this, or any hope of better calibration coming in EMUI 5? It seems like the LCD should be good, and it is a purely software issue...

Waiting to receive mine so I can rate in all of this threads.

I really like this phone. Is there any way to recalibrate the screen?

32 vs 64GB
Colors seems to be dependent on what device u have. Or maybe on what type of display is build in.
Actually i own two Honor 8, first one in blue with 32GB (since September) and the Premium version with 64GB in gold.
The 32 GB has a dark screen with blueish tint while the 64GB Premium version is the one that deserves his name. Rich colors with a nice touch of almost good balance in saturation. Should not be but it is so.

thats weired, so they are giving different lcd panels for different storage models??

I haven't heard anyone else mention it, so it could be a one off? I have heard of lines of phones shipping with the screens all calibrated (or not calibrated I guess) so that some ship with definite shifts in color so some units arrive with yellow, blue, pink, or green tinges to the screen.
In any case I would like it if Huawei had an sRGB mode option available.

This would be hard to provide given it doesn't sound like any calibration has taken place (given the reports of different panels). Reminds me of the Nexus 5... had three different Nexus 5s with different colour balance - one VERY different (warm and almost incandescent like, vs the very cool of the other two - one greenish and one purpleish).
You can't take a phone that hasn't been calibrated and go back and offer calibration... the screens need calibrated before they leave the factory, then you can offer calibrated modes. The best Huawei could offer us, really, is a gamut restriction (since the gamut is more or less a known) and RGB adjustment sliders.
They should offer at least the latter...

Agree

Both set to Auto Brightness and both with same color temp.

Question edge bleeding at low brightness

Hello, tonight i was configuring my youtube app and i noticed very bad colors at the edge of the display, when the background is grey. I was in a complete dark room, the problem is most noticable when brightness is about 15%. And no, its not only the app. The bad colors are visible at a brightness from 0% to 50%.
Do you guys also have this problem?

The Mi 8 has it also, that is screen uniformity. It is hardware and it seems very common the last few years. I don't have it on my Oneplus 7 pro but it is also present on the Oneplus 8, Xiaomi Mi 9 etc.
Some folks say it is normal on oled but it isn't.
Why are the no problems with oled on Oneplus 7 pro, Samsung s10+?

I have same in low brightness don't worry.

so your unit doesnt have this issue?

i have the same problem,always visible when you have a dark(not black) background,note i had before 1 samsung s2,s4,a5 (the a5 when i was watching a movie in dark scene i could see a yellow brightness in one corner,it was awfull)and a tablet from the same manufacturer and all had the same probleme but at different level,my last Mi9t was parfect and screen didnt show that but my new F3 has it ,one side is clearer than the other one

As far as I know it is because of the AMOLED manufacturing tolerances, it seems to be really hard to get a perfect uniform display.
It shows at low brightness with grey screen especially.
Discussion also happend with the Mi 8 here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...moled-uniformity-issues-etc-for-mi-8.3843180/

Lol, I was just about to start a topic about this when I saw yours. Only dark gray backgrounds and top left is brighter then bottom right. Disappears at about 25% brightness. On the photo it seems green but not to the eye...
So if I send the phone back I'll most likely receive a new one with the same issue?

Lol, as u can see, my issue is in the same area, but mirrored.
I think, if u send the phone back, maybe u will get one with the same issue on diffrent corners. Only if u r lucky, u will get a good screen but then maybe the vibration motor starts crackling xD
I will keep my phone, cuz everything is fine for now

Well, yes, I'm a nitpicker really and there's always a small problem with a device it seems. I can't find anything else so I guess I'll settle for a small uniformaty of the screen. After all it's only with gray and in a dark surrounding. When watching a dark scene in a movie in inperceptable and maybe I can switch more elements to black using a custom rom (hope lineageOS will show up).
And maybe when there's a way to do DC dinning and not PWM it'll be better....

It is in general really hard to get a perfect display, be it on phones or on PC monitors.
Also TN and IPS panels show their weaknesses at "grey" colors, it makes the uniformity visible to the human eye.
Additionally trails and overshoot of moving objects on a grey background are most noticeable.
Not sure why "grey" is so devastating

I don't know. I'm from NL and here we have a lot of "grey areas" so guess I'll have to get used to it

Mine has a similar grey gradient visible at low brightness and solid colors, but it doesn't seem to be discernible in anything but settings. My old phone has a "perfect" oled though, so it's definitely possible.

Solid colors seems fine, or my eyes don't perceive it...
Probably the same case as processor cores: bins. Maybe they pay less for getting screens that are not 100% uniform?

Question [CLOSED] Poco f3 green tint issue

Hello iam a new member on XDA,
I want to ask a question, can the green tint on the Poco F3 be minimized with just a software update?
and this green tint occurs when activating the screen in dark mode, 120hz, brightness is below 30%, in low light condission and occurs when displaying dark gray, will this get worse for long use or not?
I was worried because it was my first time buying a smartphone with an amoled screen
Thank you.

Someone tried hentai os and reported that there was no green tint in that rom, so it is probably a software issue. Lets hope it gets fixed in future updates.

Yeah lets hope its gets fixed in futurs update, thanks for your answer.

I'm still waiting on delivery for my phone, cannot comment on the issue right now.
However, I think a future software update can minimzie the effects of the issue.
I'm not sure if it can eliminate the issue altogether since it seems to be a prominent issue with all OLED panels.

Thats called (not uniform issue). It cant be fixed by software update. No matter what you do. Similar to Oneplus 7t/8t/8pro as well.

Don't think I'll ever use the brightness that low, but I'll check my unit once it arrives.
I was contemplating on getting the Blue color which I think is a newer batch, but I pulled the trigger on the Black on as soon as the seller on AliExpress allowed shipping to Canada (didn't want to wait to take a chance and have to wait longer).

Sorry to say this but this is a difect inherent to the production of amoled screens.
i had 2 poco f3, the first( wich had also this difect) and a second one that i'm using right now that does have a perfect screen.
Having a good display is just luck, returning it might not solve the problem ( they can send you another one with a "bad screen") and the green tint is not eligible for repair
Software can't do miracles either beacause they can't calibrate a screen solely in the area of the problem and if they reduce the overall "green" of the display they make your screen purple on the "good side".
Also different displays are affected to different degrees so they can't release an update that is good for everyone

Having a good display is just luck, returning it might not solve the problem ( they can send you another one with a "bad screen") and the green tint is not eligible for repair
Software can't do miracles either beacause they can't calibrate a screen solely in the area of the problem and if they reduce the overall "green" of the display they make your screen purple on the "good side".
Also different displays are affected to different degrees so they can't release an update that is good for everyone

So based on your conclusion "green tint" on OLED type screens is a natural thing?
and depending on the luck of the buyer too
thanks for the answer.

Unfortunately, but it's true. Manifacturers doesn't see a partial green tint of the screen while displaying grey colours at low brightness levels as a defect.
Oneplus and Pixel Phones are also plagued by the same problem. you have to win the screen lottery to catch a good one

My K20 pro is oled screen and there is zero green tint in low brightness so it is not all oled screens. I think it shows more obviously on grey backgrounds so i will see if i use substratum black theme on apps when i get my phone that is if it fixes the issue.

you are right... its really obvious more when i have a OP7PRO next to it, the oneplus screen is perfectly uniform.
I will try take a photo with one next to each other.
This is the Poco F3 8 256gb Arctic White

Double post... idk why but xda gave me error.

can it be solved with a system update?

I don't expect that. Do you really think that a software causing this?
Lower grade LED panel is the cause. Nothing new.
They can only try to "hide" the problem with some color profile management tweaks.

nop i don't think so, its sometimes less noticable depending on your screen colour settings but is always there .
During the day is hard to notice so is not that bad i guess?
But during night , man its impossible to don't see it .
Mine is like way too red on the sides and green in the middle.

Thats called (not uniform issue). It cant be fixed by software update. No matter what you do. Similar to Oneplus 7t/8t/8pro as well.

I dont have strong background in electronics but this is my personal opinion. Please correct my terminologies.
I think, the quality of the Amoled display of Poco F3 is just too high. It looks like you are watching 144p video in a TV with 4k display to the fact that you can literally see the pixels. I think this is what happening here in Poco F3. The quality of UI esp. the grey is too low for the Amoled display.
What do you think?
