Blue/green tint on the right and left sides of the curved display. - Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion

Does anyone else have this issue?
I'm seeng a blueish or greenish tint when looking at the display on white background. If I tilt it a bit it disappears.
Mate 20 pro had the same thing. I was hoping they fixed it.
Do we know who's the manufacturer of the screens?

Don't have any issue with this.
Samsung is manufacturing the screen from what I read.

Hmm so should I replace it? Or is there anything else I can do besides getting used to it?

There's nothing you can do about it as it's normal for curved screens. There's also some tint on my s10 plus. Besides, there is already a thread on this issue. p30 pro's screen is from boe and the p30 is from samsung if im not mistaken.

Redmi note 3 yellowish display

I have ordered 2 redmi note 3 32 gb gold one from mi last month and 2nd from amazon 10 days ago.
1st phone showing white disply its ok but 2nd phone showing slightly yellowish disply..
anybody facing same problem?should i replace the phone? or its commen? See the images..
Have you tried disabling automatic contrast (i.e. setting contrast to "standard") on both phones and comparing again? The only other think I can think of is maybe there is more than one manufacturer for the screens and this might be normal?
mine also yellowish

There's another thread on the miui forums pretty identical to this. As the others have said, it's due to the display provider, none of your units is faulty. Most of us have the colder looking display. You can send back the other unit if it's really an issue for you.
Recently I replaced my screen and the new one had a terrible yellowish tint compared to the older one. It was like the phone was on night mode all the time and the white colours where more like yellow than white. I tried to mess with colours in kernel adiutor and by reducing the green value things got a little better, not like the old screen but colours where bearable. Today I took the decision to move from miui to cm and when I booted to twrp colours seemed very normal but I thought that maybe it was in my imagination. But after flashing and booting in cm I see now that colours are perfectly normal like my old screen. So I'm starting to think that the yellowish tint has more to do about miui's settings than the different screen models. Maybe whoever has that yellow tint could try to switch to cm and if the problem does not exitst any more it is definitely a miui problem.

Mate 10 yellowish stripe on screen bottom

Hi,
I have a Mate 9, and tried a 5T, didnt like it due to 18:9 aspect ratio and I returned it.
Now I'm trying the Mate 10 and so far I'm liking it, it is not a big upgrade from Mate 9, it actually loses on sound power and screen brightness compared to M9, but overall it is good, specially because I think that it is going to be one of the last flagships to come with 16:9 on near future.
I prefer FPS on rear, but the possibility to use the FPS as navbar make it worthy to be on front.
All said, what is bothering me is that on the very bottom of the screen there is a yellowish stripe (all screen wide), making the screen uneven on color.
Had anyone have this issue?
Could it be the glue not be totally cured? Will it fade with time?
It bothers me and I dont want to return the phone because of this, but if the issue is final, I'll return it.
How'd you go with this? Did it go away or did you return it for another unit?
I'm in the exact same situation. Slight yellow tinted band at the bottom. Kinda trying to convince myself it doesn't bother me, but I can't help but look at it every time now. Hope it will fade away. Don't really want to return it either.
I git that yellowish tint also at the bottom screen. I already send to huawei service center ti change new screen but have the same problem after changed new screen. Any advice? Should i send back to huawei and change a new screen again? Thank you

Weel indeed, if your model is a Mate 10, then no OLED screen, so different problem than mine. Good luck !
Well i think it's the glue wich is not cured totally yet.
When i got my Mate 10, i had exactly same yellowish part at the bottom screen and now its totally gone.
Use your screen brightness as high as you can for some time and watch for it, mine took like 2 weeks for be gone.
Sorry for my poor english

Samsung galaxy s9 plus screen issues

Hey guys,
I just received my new Samsung Galaxy s9 Plus and I have realised that my device is faulty. But I really don’t know if I should just let it be, or ask for my device to be exchanged.
So basically on the screen there is two lines which are visible only when the device is turned fully off or when always on display is showing on the phone.
Do you think I’m being to picky?
Do you think the issue wold get worse over time?
Has anyone else had this issue before on the s9 Plus?
Do you think it’s the coating on the phone that is the issue?
Ps the screen is not cracked, does not have any dead pixels etc.
it would be helpful if you could post a couple of photos of the screen so that we can see if there's really an issue or not.
but if it really is a issue, i would bring it back immediately for a exchange especially given how much the phone cost

Same here. I post one photo of my s9+. Check & confirm.
I've contacted samsung, I will let you know the end result.
Erm, are you sure that isn't the thin tape that runs down the edge of your screen protector!?
Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk
I have the same lines. It's at the very edge of both sides of the screen. It's almost as if you can see the touch layer.
Just a quick update, I spoke to Samsung and they said it’s the first they heard of the problem, currently it’s been escalated to a higher department, I’m going to receive a call back today, I’ll update you with anymore info,
Ps can everyone contact them who are also Having this issue as it will only help with making the case stronger as a whole.
What screen protector are you using? Mine is the bodyguardz glass one.
I don’t have any screen protector on the device. The situation is so stressful, it had to happen to me lol

After more research and a closer inspection I do believe it is the adhesive at the edge of my screen. I also found pics of other people discussing this issue with zagg cases. This is my first curved screen so I was unaware of how they curved tgsp worked.

Mate 10 Pro Fuzzy/Blurry/Unsharp font

Dear all,
After my great Galaxy Note 3 I decided to get a Mate 10 Pro. However, the text on the screen looks fuzzy and unsharp. Kind of like with old LCD monitors, or like when configuring ClearType Text in windows, where different sharpnesses are shown and one has to choose from.
Specially when there is a black text over a white background, for example in the config menus. This is also worse and more evident in WhatsApp.
I have checked 3 brand new phones in stores an they look the same as mine (look at the config menu for example). P20 Pro also looks like this, but Mate 10 Lite does not look like this, it looks good and sharp like in my old Note 3.
I then thought it may be a scaling problem so tried different text sizes as well as text displays, and also fonts.
I have googled a lot of keywords like scaling, antialiasing, but no one seems to have seen this problem.
Do you notice this issue? Do you have any solutions?
Best!
Bruno.
Probably the screen protector. I noticed that too. Have had many devices, and I agree with you. But, I get to use with that. Try to remove and let me know.

They actually come with a pre-installed plastic protector on. But it shouldn't be why it's "fuzzy".

Super interesting. In my case it does not fade out but rather looks like fuzzy and it also did for other 3 phones I saw in 3 different stores. But these phones are also 24/7 being charged.
Some times this blurry text thing happened in my note 3 and after a reset everything would be fine. I am really curious to find the solution to this problem.

I have Mate 10 and yes, i have noticed the same (coming from Galaxy Note 4).
it turned out that the phone comes with 2 screen protectors (one visible one - and one hardly visible).
you need to peel off the second screen protector (a little bit tricky), and it's when the text becomes sharp and crisp.

Hey! Thanks for your reply. However I think I have removed all protectors and i also believe they do so in stores where I saw the same problem. Also I checked several unboxing videos and I couldn't find one where they removed 2 screen protectors. Could you send us one ?
I am really puzzled that it is not an issue for anyone. I clearly see this unsharpness especially in WhatsApp. Any ideas ?

Hey Thanks for your reply! I see you also have a Mate 10 Pro. Don't you see in your screen what im saying? I've tried to take screenshots to show you guys but from the screenshots one cannot see it. I downloaded an app to take FHD+ screenshots so that you could see it but still is not there, which means it has to do with the display. I;m surprised no one is apparently seeing this and for me the difference to Note 3 and other phones like the Mate 10 Lite is so clear.

Nice idea Tiago! Didn't think of it but however it didn't work, it still looks like withe a very slight white glow around the letters to me.
I asked 10 people and only 2 could see it. None of the people I asked wears glasses.
Any ideas ?

PSA: Huawei Mate 20 Pro has a display problem - Gluegate

VÍDEO
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smsc_wp_YuI
UPDATE:
OK, now it's a widespread issue.
It looks like it could be the glue drying or something else.
Because the issue appears after some days of usage.
Btw, I've returned my phone
-------------------------
I bought the Mate 20 Pro the 18th of October, at first the display looked fine but it's been some days already that I'm noticing a yellow/green tint on the right side of the display that reminds me so much to the problem that happened with the Nexus 4 (it was because of the glue [https://www.pocketables.com/images/....com/images/2012/12/nexus-4-yellow-screen.jpg) ).
And it's getting worse.
It's not just me, another user on XDA and another user on Reddit also said that are having the same issue.
If it's the glue, even if you don't notice the issue right now on your device, it might appear in the next days, as it happened to me.
These are my pictures:
[https://imgur.com/a/6doz3ZI](https://imgur.com/a/6doz3ZI)
What do you think?
I'll go and return my phone for another one this Monday. And if the new one has the same problem I'll ask for a refund
UPDATE:
More things I've noticed:
After playing a burn in fix video, the way that this issue looks is different, it changes.
Here I took some pictures of the display with a black background:
https://imgur.com/a/RVscvY9
NEWEST UPDATE:
There seem to be two different issues, or maybe one. Maybe it's related with the display controller
Here's a video

Then it will probably be the glue
if its glue, its a manufacture faulty batch (lets hope). This even happened years ago with Samsung phones due to poor QA (and for Samsung that's huge).
While highly unlikely, if you happen to find its software related or to do with w/display driver, post it in the EMUI/software problem/fault thread so you can let others know. Also, be sure to get in touch with Huawei and keep us posted on your results.
EDIT 1/11: From what I can read on the first 30-40 pages its moistly screens with LG and not BOE. Its in multiple regions, so let's way a few more weeks and see if the newer BOE batches or wave 2 of the shipments fixes the issue...

I have similar problem. The brighter shade can be visible on both sides ( on the right side little bit more expressive) and at notch edges. I'm returning phone tommorow . Sucha a shame :/
I have the same problems
Following this. I also have the same issue. Not sure though if it's to do with the screen refractions on the curved glass. Will wait to see what happens with others. What apps are people using to test?

I thought that. I've never had a curved like this. I put a black wallpaper on and it's fine. Put a colour one on and you see it
A great way to tell is if you have a white chrome window and then pull the notification shade down it shows all around the notch. I think it's something to do with greys on low light levels?
Yeah greys at low light seem to vary in colour a little, if it's really bad keep swapping the phone. I had to change my Nexus 6P made by Huawei 3 times before I got a good screen. Mine is slightly lighter on the bottom third but it's hardly noticeable so I'm going to stick with it.
