What?
Oleophobic means it's oil (fingerprint in this case) resistant. It has nothing to do with the color. But yeah, it seems to be a normal thing for Nexus phones, although there will probably be a mod to adjust the color balance sooner or later.
Hello ..., is there any way to tweak the white balance ? I just got my tablet, it' s amazing by the way, but i want to make the white color a little bit cooler! Thanks!!

It is possible by adjusting color temperature by by available yet atm

Can you explain to me how i can do the adjustment?
Do i need to root the tablet or from the menu? (The only tweak i found from menu is the color profiles : amoled basic, amoled cinema, etc) I have a sony xperia phone and it has an option to adjust the white balance with a slider!
Thanks..

Today I got two 8.4 Tabs, both wifi only versions in my hands and I was impressed, that the white color was different. Sadly, the whites on mine were a little bit more yellowish, warmer, and a little bit dirtier. Is this normal for samoled?

my experiences tell not all screens produce the same color, some are yellowish, while others are slightly blue, which can make white color a bit grey, etc
once i wanted to buy a note2 but i found its so bluish and therefore no deal
so each time I buy a phone, esp amoled, I will check the screen (and other things of coz) before I pay
I currently have 2 Galaxy Tab has 10.5 inch at home and deciding which one to keep. The main difference between the two is that one has a newer build date and love one screen seems to be a little more orange brown tint to the white versus the other tablet seems to be a little more blue yellow intent. Other than that perform identically however I did notice that when I run the CPU temperature app that the one with the yellow blue tinted screen seems to run a few degrees cooler most of the time except when using Chrome when where the other tablet seems to run several degrees cooler but only when JavaScript is activated.
One little trick in addition to adjusting the temperature using the adaptive display were changing from AMOLED basic to Evelyn cinema to make it cooler, is to go into the accessibility settings and then go into divisions section and then go into the area where one can do a test of their color as if they needed adjustments because of their own visual impairment. If you run that test and intentionally miss order the color tiles, and then will activate the option to allow you to adjust a slider which can further give you A white screen that seems to be somewhere in between the really blue display and the really warm AMOLED basic

Old thread i know but i just wanted to thank you for that tip Canadoc. I've been struggling with the excessively warm image from my Tab S for a year now and while putting it into "Cinema" mode fixes the white balance it also destroys the contrast by making all subtle dark detail just disappear. This accessibility method has given me much nicer whites without affecting the contrast other than removing the orange haze. I assume the colours are going to be slightly different now but i can't say i've noticed anything there. I wish the Tab S had the same display options as the Galaxy S5 has where you can choose the cooler white level without hammering the contrast too. Maybe it's something Samsung do in order to protect the lifespan of the blue sub-pixel?
So thanks again
When the tab s 8.4 came out the screen quality was a bit variable, but it's been months since I have have read of anybody having a problem, see if you cab get a replacement.

Mine's the 10.5 and this is the second one i got which was exactly the same as the first one in screen tone.
I always wondered if third-world country`s got B-C grade stock, as the consumer protection can be poor or non-existent, maybe it`s cheaper for the re-seller to buy this lower grade stock with screen color problems ect, I dont know?

UK here and bought from John Lewis. I've heard plenty of issues with screen temp on these ones so it's fairly common. Just using it this morning and thinking it perhaps wasn't quite as white as i'd like it and checked the settings to see if it was still in the proper mode and it was, switched it back to the old one and don't know how i ever lived with that brown tone!
Under different light sources it can take a few minutes for your eyes to adapt to the screen, so white can look a little off while this is happening, as the human eye will normally auto white balance anything you look at.
Does you screen when browsing with a white background at night, but not totally dark still not look perfectly white after a few minutes of looking at the screen.
Everybody seems to see colors slightly differently, and some not so slight, did you see the white/gold blue/black dress debate.

No it never looks like clean white to me unless i tilted it slightly back or forward and then i could see the tone shift to a cooler temp. I do keep the brightness down to under 10% most of the time and that doesn't help the white level either.
I can't say i ever understood the dress image, you can factually measure and define the colour on that one so i don't know why people were confused.
Have you had anybody else check your screen, do they see the same problem, though at 10% brightness the screen is never going to look really white, I always keep mine on Auto -5 , I have the RGB sensor set on Auto i cannot even remember what it`s really called as i have never changed it, but in Auto it is supposed to keep the whites looking white, what is yours set too.

Warm colours
My tab s 8,4 screen has a brownish layer, which makes whites mor brown and the colours less sharp. But when I put pressure on my tab, the "layer" goes away.

Sorry for not getting back to you earlier, car knocked the phone pole down and been without for 12 long days. *sigh*
Anyway, i haven't had anyone else look at mine but i don't need anyone to anyway, it's a very overly warm tone. I've never used the RGB adaptive sensor thingy as it only works in a few apps that i never use anyway.

Do you see a much whiter tone when you choose Cinema mode? If so and you like it then you really should try the method in this thread to keep it without also cranking up the contrast.
Hi, i was thinking of buying either a sony smartwatch 3 or a moto 360. Do all of you guys prefer the 3? Tge thing that has stopped me from buying the watch is the ambient screen. Based on your peraonal usage did you find the yellow tinge that noticeable? Do you have any pictures that you can show me just so I know its not going to be an issue for me. Also ive heard that the smartwatch is good for running? Is this true because thats what im looking for. Withthe ambient screen is there anyway to change the diaplay conditions so that that it is less yellow if I root rhe watch? Thanks for the help
yellow screen?
yes, you really should buy the SW3. I did it, and a friend bough the moto360, and he told me that he had a serious lack of battery, slow watch and so on. The SW3 works perfectly, has a great battery and the ambient mode is really good. On my side, i didn't notice any "Yellow-ish white". Definitely the best watch out there.

See attached picture....I like the ambient best on the Sony SW3 with a white background and black letters/time/text.
The background in ambient looks like one of those old LCDs and is very easy to read from all angles even in an office with less than perfect light conditions.
When you have a black background with white text it does look slightly yellowish, not bad in my opinion.

How did you flip the ambient mode? Typically it's white on black and yours is showing a black on white. Thanks
I created it with Intellicom. You can define the ambient background independently. I also own watchmaker, but unfortunately cannot specify the background for ambient mode there....unless someone tells me how to do that...I contacted the developers but never heard back. Maybe if several SW3 owners raise their voice we get that feature in watchmaker (which otherwise is a great tool).....
Invert it! Getring more white on ambient uses more battery.

Just add a square shape, enlarge it to fill the screen, move it to the bottom, make it whatever color you want* and set it to display when dimmed only. There's your ambient mode background.
*As MickeZzz has pointed out, although you can set the color to whatever you want, it will probably be displayed as one of four shades of gray (white, light gray, dark gray or black) in ambient mode. But the point remains that you can use a white background in ambient mode.

Aren't we talking about two different things here? The transflective screen doesn't require power to be readable in all but the dimmest light; that's true. But it's still not like an e-ink display, which can continue to display an image after power is disconnected. Doesn't every non-black pixel on the screen draw some power, even in ambient mode? Maybe the drain is small enough to be insignificant, but I don't think it's zero.
Please correct me if I'm wrong about this!
No. The Sony one is a transflective LCD. LCD use the least power when displaying white. Black requires LCDs to draw power to change polarity to filter out the backlight...hope that clarifies things.

Summary: long press a thumbnail, then press again and drag. The bottom layer at far left.
I made a simple test in watchmaker to show the difference between bright and dimmed screen. I simply added two pictures in watchmaker and put the display mode to always on the pictures that I used.
In dimmed it seems to only display four different gray colors.
It wasn't possible to make screenshot so I simply used the camera, sorry about the bad screenguard on watch.
I really like the screen outdoor!

I'm not trying to dispute you, but I am trying to grasp this, especially since finding an earlier thread here, in which it's pointed out that the unpowered state of the display is, in fact, black. That would seem to suggest that black uses less power, but I realize it's not necessarily that simple. Do you know of any references that explain this?
I of course could be wrong with respect to the LCD in the SW3, I am only repeating what I have read about LCD a long time ago....
Best is you try for yourself - I have not noticed any significant difference (clearly not a scientific study) and I like the contrast better when the background is white.

Thanks. I've experimented some, too, but haven't noticed a significant difference. Your info may very well be correct, of course.
Every review I watched before getting my 5T said that the reading mode turns the display black and white (or gray scale), but in my phone it has a very warm white balance, even more than the night mode.
How it's supposed to work? Is my phone working fine?
Yup, that is how it's supposed to look, like some sort of an e-reader, those screens usually also have this warm white color :good:

i don't know why i seem to be the only one, i always wanted a note because it's been praised as the best display of all time i finally got a note 10+ and the display disappoints me to no end, first off the colors are dull, my xperia xz1 on super vivid mode has more vibrant colors, second off the brightness it's not amazing if i compare my note 10+ to my huawei mate 10 pro the huawei appears more vibrant and bright, the huawei is running a custom rom, my note 10 + has custom white balance settings with green and red turned down to 0 and it's still too yellow for my taste the screen mode is itensive and yes bluelight filter is off, when i use the note 10+ on it's own i get used too it and i see no issues with the display but then i start up my mate 10 pro and get a much whiter better white and overall brighter image, my note 10+ is set to +10 brightness and high performance mode all auto brightness off and max brightness, white still appears dull colors appear dull, why am i the only one who feels this way?
Was gonna ask if your blue light filter thing was on. The white seers into my brain unless I have the filter on. This seems to be the best display I've ever used. And you're saying other phones are brighter? I haven't found a single phone brighter than this one. Maybe a defective screen?

The display is what everyone who see's my Note 10+ mentions first. They are amazed at how good it is...
Maybe a side to side comparison to another phone might show it up but everyone who's seen it goes gaga over it...

my tweaks are the following
max performance with brightness 10+ enabled and brightness slider to the highest possible settingm, intensive with the temp slider to the far left as in coldest as it gets then advanced white balance both red and green turned down to 0 blue turned to max meaning the screen should have an extreme blue tint it doesn't, i tried the google books method and blue light is always off when i launch the app so it's not that, i even tried calibrating colors under accessability where you have to rearrange colored balls result are almost identical to what i had with a slight yellow tint to the white so worse than before i turned that off again
i had this issue with the original display and now the replacement one when i havenothing to compare to white looks great colors pop screen looks good white feels slightly dull but it's hard to tell, but then i go back to my xperia xz1 or mate 10 pro and feel a huge difference in white and overall color performance, both displays pop a lot more than the note 10+
might i add i am ultra sensitive to warm displays so what looks great to someone else might look like a yellow mess to me i always increase blue on all displays i have my sony af9 is set to cold with all color enhancers to max i need colors that pop with no yellow tint what so ever, i am not a fan of accurate colors at all
Being the most accurate display of colors doesn't mean it'll be your favorite. Maybe you prefer less accurate (seriously, no snark here). But brightness should be pretty clear cut... No idea why yours wouldn't be as bright.

well i already know i hate accurate colors i want bright vibrant cold colors anything accurate to me looks dull and yellow the surface pro i have which is known for it's accurate calibration almost looked black and white to me until i got it decent by forcing intel control panel and increasing color intensity but the screen was so terrible on it i stopped using it i just couldn't deal with that display so it's been collecting dust ever since, my xperia xz1 is using super vivid mode with blue turned up to 171 the screen becomes complete trash without super vivid mode and it becomes the best display i have ever seen with super vivid mode turned on, i wasn't a huge fan of the display on the xperia 1 either that phone has no super vivid mode and the display was rather dull to me but the brightness and white was miles better than the note 10+ especially when it forced the brightness to max on apps like youtube (it dimmed outside of certain apps which i could not handle so i sent it back but on youtube the brightness was just mindblowing the white was so perfect and clear then it wen't gray as soon as it would dim when i exited the youtube app)

I believe that the Note interface is more greyish than white. This is why even without the blue filter, if you do not increase backlight alot, it is not quite white.
It can be seen on the Home screen, when you group-up some apps icons in a folder, have a look at the white of the icons and compare it to the white of the folder itself. Not same white. The surrounding white of the folder is grey, not white.
Same goes for the google search on home screen, it is not white compared to the the white of say, the Google Apps icon.
Maybe try another theme if you do not like it ?
