Hi all, first post in this thread, just sharing 2 of my homescreens here.

Blue theme
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Gold theme
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Meanwhile I would like to ask if anyone has ideas on good power toggle widget replacement for Widgetsoid, because Widgetsoid requires the apk to be pushed to system folder through adb in order to use the mobile data toggle, and I tried doing the adb push but failed due to system folder being non-remountable and it's kinda annoying.

Wow! The blue one is extremely awesome.

Just before I just seen my colleague unit which had the red tint issue.

I noticed not matter how you adjust it still different. The screen is having slightly grainy look.

I suggest anyone with such red tint screen go exchange it.

thats right, since v3 and v4 and now in v5 i'm still repeating it over and over.

If you cant accept it, then dont accept it. Software "fix" is not a real "fix". No amount of software tinkering can fix your hardware related problem. Yes, its hardware related dont be in denial.
Particularly because the red-tint issue is not uniform on the screen itself!

I dont want to say more, let Erica Griffin do the talking for me. She herself said software fix with the update didn't help much, especially if your red-tint is not uniform across the screen, reason being if you mess with the red slider, it affects other parts of the screen where the red-tint is not present, so you end up getting a weirder colour balance.

Example of not uniform red-tint issue.

if your red-tint is uniform, the software fix should be able to fix it,
[attachmentid=8841457]
[attachmentid=8841458]
[attachmentid=8841459]

but if its not uniform, adjusting the red sliders may get you into this problem which i've personally encountered as well when testing it on the demo units:
before fix, when everything default:
[attachmentid=8841460]
after fix by adjusting red sliders or going into *#15987# to adjust red values.
[attachmentid=8841461]

*
Yup absolutely agree. It is not worth without changing it in my opinion.

From what I could see, just slightly red tint instead of grainy. If it's grainy, that's because of the screen protector.

Not sure why still trying to find the fault. It's just a matter of preference. Personally the red tint looks okay to me. In fact, I think the warmer red tint is less annoying and fatigue to look at.

People tend to look for the red but missed the blue. Amoled is really saturated by design, hence why is everyone trying to point that it's white/red/blue/green?
*
If constant then can maybe able to fixed but it still somewhere wrong.

The one I seen is not constant which is hard to fixed and it is some how not as "shine" as mine even after tune it.

The not constant one probably will seen not constant grey also when in pure dark room because the screen same as my ex. Tab S2 which I found weird, then I look on pure dark room on grey color, I get shock and immediate change it.

By the way the person didn't use any screen protector.

Difficult to tell it words, it is way different.

But the owner can't seen it, good to him. Such thing not everyone can seen but I am very sensitive to screen, not constant is way beyond my acceptance level.

Sorry I have forgotten,someone ask before
Is it normal that reddish at the edge?
My screen seems good but the edge seems reddish
*
If only edge when you view at narrow view then it is nothing. Since S6 Edge already got such issue and I can said S8/S8+ is the less compare with previous model.

But if on screen and especially top half and bottom half in different color then is somewhere wrong and the update cannot tune such symptom screen.

Ts maybe you should filter out some of that debonairs guy post like saying bullshit like OTA update is available. .

if im not mistaken, as the thread starter you can delete individuals post on the thread, and I suggest you to do so as hes spreading false info.

same to the pokemon guy who regularly comes he to troll like asking people to hard reset their phone for some problems that could be tweaked in settings...
