Hey guy,
So a friend of mine had a strange problem with his htc desire
Last night while reading some stuff his displayed color changed,
first thing i noticed was the rly pinkish tint, everything was slightly pink Oo
noticed this Thread but that wasnt the issue here
hope u guys can see sth, it seems its only 8bit color depth, 256 color
since some pictures are getting some rly ugly "blocks" in it
Well my question is, is the display broken? should he get a new one?
can a new rom fix this problem?
Thanks in advance
Kemo~
Try resetting brightness to auto.
we did that already, the pink tint increases with lower brightness
we also did a hardreset of the phone nothing changed
When i take a picture with ddms.bat it looks normal
its rly strange :/
Is it an LCD (slcd) or AMOLED Desire?
Its an amoled

The AMOLED screen on the Desire has more red pixels (not quite right, but the easiest way to put it) then blue or green. What this means, is that the screen of the Desire is inherently tinted red. This is mainly more noticeable when the brightness is at low level as the color spectrum on a screen uses light to adjust the colors. With less light, the red has more of a bleed through effect and becomes noticeable. I really don't notice it unless it is at VERY low light or I have the screen with a white background and next to a device with another high end type of display such as the iPhone 4 or the Galaxy S which don't have the bleed through effect... well, with red anyways... they have the effect with blue.
Strange... I've seen oled displays look like that after only a year but that's in very rare cases. They wear out but not just like that if it happened almost insantly.
Did you look at the display just when it happened, did the other colors just sort of fade away or did they go in a snap?
it happend in an instant, an no i didnt have a look at it when it happend
but it seems the display is broken
well he gonna replace it, lucky he still has warranty =)
Thanks guys for the replies
Cheers

Just got my VZW galaxy nexus, and im loving it so far, but have noticed something odd: toward the top of the screen (about 1/4 of the way down from the top) there seems to be a very slight green tint, noticeable only when looking at a dark background (like the settings menu).
It's kind of hard to explain, does anyone else have something similar on their phones? Is this normal for amoled screens or should I ask for a replacement phone?
i believe it has to do with it being a pentile screen... well, 'HD' pentile, but still..
i'd say if you try an exchange, make sure you the test the other in store first.
can anyone with a galaxy nexus please post a photo of their phone on the settings menu? (scroll all the way down)

Pretty sure the setting menu is a background gradient with an intended color shift.
But yeah, mine has a blueish/greenish hue if I tilt the phone away or towards me in portrait mode. Straight-on, I don't notice anything.
yeah i am talking about viewing straight on
mine has this greenish tint slightly at the top right screen...
that settings menu then scroll all the way down is normal.. the color is not as dark as the top. I'm seeing greenish tint when on white background
I have a very light greenish tint on the right side of the phone on white backgrounds with text when at low/automatic brightness. The green goes away when I bump brightness to 40%+.
Did you try that?
Oddly, when I ran pixel checker, the pure white background has no green tint to it at all.
Yeah, at low brightness I see a tint/haze but at full brightness, everything looks beautiful.
Welcome to the world of pentile.
I see the same green tint on my screen. I thought it was normal, but I compared it to another unit today and saw that my display was both dimmer at the same brightness level and had a greenish cast and different color temperature than the unit I was comparing it to. I'm not sure if this is within the normal variance for these displays, but my phone certainly looks worse to me than the one I compared it to.
Both units also showed a green/blue tint when viewed off axis but with greater discoloration on mine. The second unit showed almost no discernible tint when viewing a white screen straight on unlike mine.

i have the same problem. Sometimes (usually after a power down and restart) my entire screen is very dark and has a, very obvious, green tint to it. I compared my phone to my girlfriends at the same display setting and the tint is very obvious (especially when i'm viewing menu, text messages, browser). When i adjust the brightness it seems to make it less obvious, but still there. However after certain power down and restart this "green tint" seems to 'go away' only to either gradually re-appear or just happen when my phone self adjusts to "automatic brightness" setting.
p.s. my phone also, had another minor issue of random re-start when listening to music (via google music) and adjusting the sound effects option. After that restart my phones display was significantly tinted and dark. Weird, Either way getting a replacement unit tomorrow.
Mine has a very slight green tint on the left hand side of the screen when at the lowest brightness and viewing a white background.
I normally have the brightness bumped up a bit, but it still bugs me when I have it low
EDIT: Checked pixel checker, has the green tint. I can definitely see it on the keyboard as I'm typing this though
I took my unit in to Verizon today for an exchange. New one doesn't have as significant of color shifting or banding issues.

yeah i got mine replaced the next day, all good now. No green tint, reduced banding, and much better viewing angles (the first one heavily tinted green or pink colors when viewing it from the right or left side, respectively)
Alright, got a replacement today.
No green tint that I can see, almost no banding and the colors don't change like, at all when I tilt the phone.
Now my nexus truly is perfect

Sorry, I find this very hard to believe. *ALL* pentile AMOLEDs change colours like crazy when you look at them at a sharp angle. It's a characteristic trait of this kind of display.
Pics from various angles or it didn't happen. ;-)

Yeah, I was exaggerating, but compared to how bad it was with the other one its crazy. Very less noticeable than my first one

Ever since I got my Xperia M the display has had blueish tint and bad color reproduction but I acknowledged that is a problem with every Xperia M. But beside that, when I look at the display from an angle, on a white background, I can see a gray line appearing from top of the screen and a gray circle in the middle. Again, it is visible as an effect when looking at an angle, cannot see it when looking directly at it. I also have a bright pixel on a black background. Are these also negligible, common issues or along already bad screen I've got a defected screen? I am very disappointed in Sony anyhow.

I'm pretty sure I saw this post somewhere b4... anyway for bluish tint - get the white balance app from @xperiaz2 (Yes, you need root and the bluish tint is due to the colour temperature, its at around 10k+, the norm. being around 6500k) Gray line appearing... pretty sure you're having a defected display and about the bright pixel, display is defected. Yes you got a defected screen (The bluish tint is not a defect though) so just bring it back to where you bought it and they'll replace it for you! (If the warranty is still live)
Well I posted on Xperia support forum trying to get help there, too. Or just an insight of what could that be and what could cause the problem. Anyway, here are a couple of pictures taken with a phone. The camera couldn't get that grey line properly but it appeared as a shadow from the top of the screen probably because as I said it's like an effect when tilting the phone, not a still colour. http://imgur.com/3Ae2rdr http://imgur.com/Nyv2maS
I suggest you to bring it back to the shop, that problem isn't present on mine.
When displaying a pure black image on the p2 the bottom left 1/3 of screen has a slight yellow glow to it when you look at it in a dark room. The same area looks more warmer than the rest when displaying grey. Anyone else noticed this? From searching around I've seen complaints about similar issues on some other amoled screens on nokia,oneplus, lg etc. So much for amoled showing pure black, if you want that it looks like you have to get a samsung phone. It's still better when compared to IPS but the uneven tone can be annoying.

I noticed this in dark environment, this is mostly visible when you pull down notification bar, I don't know the reason but noticed this - not a major issue.
Just bought a Samsung A54 5G and noticed when I am looking straight at the phone on anything supposed to be white, there is a yellowish tint to 3/4th of the screen and then 1/4th will be way more white/blueish. If I tilt the phone in any direction slightly you can see the yellow tint moving across the screen, is this a normal thing for Samsung screens as I am coming from an OPPO which did not have this. Here is a link to a video of what I mean, although it is kind of hard to tell.

Should mention eye comfort and adaptive brightness are off. Also the setting is on Vivid with cool to the max.
Video not watchable.
Not noticed anything like this on mine.
