Like i said before, you should take your time and check your new phone condition first before you take it home. Quite a few cases of defect comes from the screen.
No need to get gray wallpaper. You can do a scrern test by using dialler code *#0*#  :-P

Just upgrade to KG1/KG2/KG3 and the left side yellowish will be fixed.

Juz flashed Litening rom 5.0, but I found the battery drain is unacceptably crazy in this ROM, battery dropped around 5% in 2~3 hours (without using, juz keeping the phone in my pocket). Checked the battery usage, seems like the cell standby and and phone idle is eating up the most. 20% and 13% respectively. Anyone having the same issue?

Seems like that is how it should be with litening rom. Guess it's time for me to go back to stock then tongue.gif I've used mine with nothing on too no wifi no data no bluetooth yet the battery is still draining like crazy.

With stock and the same usage condition. Full charge 100%, after a day (24 hrs) without much usage, battery is at 95%. biggrin.gif

as far as i know, no 2 amoled screens are made the same, but here's the bad news, amoleds are made blue-er than usual for a special reason, the organic substance inside the amoled will degrade with usage , so if yours is yellower it means your amoled screen is more degraded than your friend's, which also explains why his is brighter, but there shouldnt be such a huge difference, if really obvious, go and replace it

No this is incorrect, it's just two different screen that existed in SGS2. And it's also ridiculous to make it display blue stronger as this will only speed up the degration. smile.gif

888kb24, you can see one thing, it's true that yours is slightly yellowish than it should, but your fren one is also at the same time slightly blueish than it should(which is what most of us own). And you can compare a 2nd thing. With your fren unit, when u turn the unit even ever so slightly off angle, the whole screen will get even bluer, a strong blue tint will cover the whole screen while viewing off a straight angle. While with your yellowish screen, you should be able to off angle your unit quite some degree to get the screen to turn blue slightly only. I'm still not 100% sure so u might be able to test it out.

If it's like what I said, then it's up to u whether u want a blueish screen with serious viewing angle issue, or a slightly yellowish screen with pretty much no viewing angle issue. tongue.gif The sad thing is none are perfect though sweat.gif

nice explaination there... are u sure of that?
but to me, my fren's looks much better, screen brighter... anybody faces the same prob?

Well it's up to you to confirm since you're lucky to be able to confirm both side by side, the yellowish variant is kinda rare actually. As for the brightness I have not compared that actually. It's actually up to you to decide. Personally I find both issue annoying too but have no choice but to put up with it. Mine is the blueish one btw

please get your facts right, in an amoled display the blue o-led will degrade the fastest among the other colours(you can easily google or wiki it). Which is why all oled screens are bluer than normal, so that when it degrades the loss in blue isnt so obvious, common sense, blue fastest, make blue more, so you will get more or less the same colour tones later on, and not yellow-->yellower-->dam yellow the loss of blue o-led's brightness also contributes to his loss of brightness

sure you can say u have a yellower oled unit but when the time comes and your blue oleds brightness goes down alot you'll see the big problem, its up to ur choice tho, not many ppl even know about these, but if i were u i would have exchanged it, everyone blue and ur yellow? doesnt sound right to me

Please read carefully. "In particular, blue OLEDs historically have had a lifetime of around 14,000 hours to half original brightness (five years at 8 hours a day) when used for flat-panel displays. This is lower than the typical lifetime of LCD"

It's true what you said, but that is a few years ago. And actually with the life span of todays OLED it's safe to ignore the lifespan problem especially for handheld portable devices. smile.gif For example lets say OLED has stopped improving since 2007 and for our blue OLED nowadays we only have 62k hrs until it dies out. Lets say the blue OLED degration starts to get serious at around 31k hrs, you'll still have to on the screen non stop for 4 years. smile.gif

Personally I have 3 devices that are using OLED and only samsung is the one having this blueish issue despite it is the newest device. And our unit shows blue because it's adjusted like that, as for the bluetint while off angle. Im guessing it's very likely caused by the glass or coating. smile.gif

did you read the second disadvantage? read my previous post i even bold it for you  biggrin.gif that doesnt change the fact that blue o-leds still degrades the fastest and is still the current problem. Our unit shows bluer is bcoz samsung made the s-amoled screens like that, not bcoz it's adjusted in the settings or what, it's made that way, what is shown is just an experimental oled, you actually think it's accurate? what more, we're using s-amoled+ not an experimental o-led i doubt it will have 62 hours of lifetime, if so, then samsung can go bankrupt ad  laugh.gif screens lightbulbds are all made to last a specific time, if light bulbs can last 100yrs then philips will go bankrupt also, there is a record where a lightbulb managed to last 82 years, then why our lightbulb half a year kong ad? doh.gif samsung must have its reasond . the blue tint while off angle i also cant confirm la, its oled or its the glass la...

anyways, what i'm concern is, you shouldnt advice the dude to be happy with a yellow device, he said bought same time, maybe his unit's flawed? maybe his unit's blue oled degrades dam fast? how? ask him be happy, no way right?
*
Because there can be alot of other things in a light bulb that cant last 82 years. And even there is one you'll probably dont want to pay for it too.

Did you see that I advice him to be happy? I'm only suggesting he can go for either one he wants smile.gif Some are happy with the yellow one while some are happy with the blue, NEITHER is defective. (Of course quality wise it's defective in both of them tongue.gif ) Cheers smile.gif

hahas okok maybe i read wrong, so he shud go either one, well to me the blue is what it should be and the yellow is defective, up to him to decide ba, my assumption was, (low brightness+yelllow)=blue oled degrading a whole lot faster than normal  smile.gif

Cheers, personally I've owned both units before, the yellowish does bother me, after exchange it was a blueish unit. But now the off angle annoys the hell out of me too. it's like a screen with only 5 degrees of viewing angle shakehead.gif

Or you can keep the yellower screen with wide viewing angle and use CF3D's nightmode settings to tune colour to whatever side of the spectrum you want.

Sure, if you're yellowish it means that your bluesubpixes are dying, and tuning the display blue will just make it die off faster (lol), but at least you can if you wanted to.
*
The reason why it's hard to say it's the blue subpix dying is because the yellowish is too uniform, it looks alot to me like it's a color balance problem than the pix dying, cause all the blue subpix arent made equal so if it's dying it's likely you will see variant and patchy yellowish here and there, but not on the yellow screen. It's juz too uniform sweat.gif
