June 21, 2014 build date; have had it 9 days now. Had a mild band of yellow about 3/4" tall at the bottom, but it has lightened significantly and is only noticeable on white web pages if you're looking for it. I think the loudest crybabies are people who don't do anything but look at white pages because the other 99.9% of the time you're using it, you don't see it.

If you want to cure this problem, see http://xdaforums.com/oneplus-one/general/how-to-fix-pss-yellow-band-ones-screen-t2821212

tl;dw... easiest way to resolve it

1) go to a nail salon and put the bottom portion of ur phone on the UV rays for 5-10 minutes and the yellow tint will go away

2) put your phone on the dashboard for several hours in direct sunlight

3) use the phone and it'll cure eventually.

id probably go with #1 #3 as people talked about #2 doesnt work because the windshield filters out UVB radiation
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] therebel88:
People seem to not realize that this is not the first phone in the history of the universe which has a yellow tint issue. Many phones have experienced this, most notably iPhones which like the OPO are rushed to market. The problem will go away by itself...just be patient people. In a few weeks you'll wonder why you got so worked up about it in the first place.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Some people are OCD or want a working phone without any defects. The point is that OnePlus doesn't acknowledge that the "yellow tint" is a problem is worrisome for people. Thats the outrage, not really the yellow tint problem but that OnePlus is silencing people.

I received my One this week, and no tinting issues. For the 'full screen' tint, you can adjust the screen colors, as they chose a warmer color for the device. If you have to band, I'd just request a replacement.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ceo.mtcl:
I got the phone today. Very disappointed with two issues.

1. Yellow tint at the bottom of the screen. About 20℅ of the screen is affected.

2. The menu hardware key has a very low/dim light. The home key and the back key have decent bright light but the menu key is so dim that I can barely see it.

Very very disappointed.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
So raise an RMA with OnePlus and get it sorted out. We all knew about the possibility of getting the yellow tint on our device, and we all proceeded with our purchases anyway. People can complain about it all they like but the fact is they took the risk because the price is good. As far as the dim cap button light goes, that's just very bad luck, and it's part of buying electronics (especially sight unseen on the internet).

Of course it is worth trying, I am merely suggesting what would next steps be? OPO already left the building for customers with this issue and if people are on their own and suggested solutions do not work, what are they to do?

It may not be so bad in the US but in other countries, you can get hit with duties which add to the original cost by quite a bit, I am sure a refund from OPO would not cover this never mind the fact that the customer is obligated to pay to return a 'defective' item.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Ian B:
I did 2 15 min UV sessions today and it improved by 95%. Bought UV flashlight and did 15 min sessions over 1/4 of bottom screen at a time but no discernable results. The yellow like very faint shadow is there but after a while I don't think about it and all is well and satisfied how the screen looks better. YMMV though.

Give it a try at nail salon, tell them u got phone wet and want to dry out under UV light and they will let u do it for free.

At first I thought I didn't have the yellow tint but then started noticing it on white screens (as originally posted I said I didn't have it).

Been having my phone on the charger while having it play a movie on the highest brightness for about 5-6 hours on repeat, just checked the screen and the tint definitely goes away. Theres still a little bit left but it is definitely reduced.

Highly recommend doing this over the RMA or the nail salon if you dont want to go there :p YMMV, would love to hear people's stories on resolving it.

Received my OPO yesterday. I do have the yellow bar on the bottom. My QC # on box is 1617D and build date is July 5th.

Not trying to diminish the issue, but I really, really, really had to look for it. During the day, I thought I had a good display. It wasn't until the sun went down that I bumped the brightness all the way up and had to go to a white background to even see it.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] an_xda:

UV curing and heat are two very different ways to 'dry' the glue (if that is actually the problem).

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Well it didn't fully reduce it, seems minimally reduced but we'll see. Might continue for the next couple days and see what happens, people did say it cures over time eventually. I started using a custom kernel (woo they have color changes) to make it so its not as noticeable either, I'm pretty happy with the way it is right now though. Still tinkering with the settings to get it to the point where its not noticeable at all. I really only see if it on white backgrounds or on white text.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] an_xda:
Unfortunately many sites and apps have white backgrounds (Hangouts especially). :(
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Very true. I don't really notice it unless I really stare at it though. I prefer white backgrounds, makes it easier to look at it when outdoors so the brightness won't be as high.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolguy949:
Here's what mine looks like. I notice it mostly on the bottom right and left corners. It might just be in my head but it does seem to slowly be getting better. Photo taken with an iPhone 4S. The photo makes it look yellow on top but it's not. It could just be the angle. The screen is definitely quite warm though.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] an_xda:
I decided I can live with it (you get what you pay for) but what has been seen cannot be unseen. If it continues to bother me a few days from now, I will have to see how shipping back to OPO will work... We pay duties up here in Canada that is outside the original tab, can this be reimbursed? Are we free to use our own carriers for return shipping (to save on cost), etc...

Also since people can mention that UV light works for them, I want to know what are the risks associated with putting the screen in a focused/controlled setting for 15 minutes. Time may not seem that long but UV light is very strong.

:(
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p51d007:
DON'T place it on the car dashboard!

Don't place the phone in your car, on a dashboard. The only thing that will happen, is the phone will get hot. There is a CHANCE, if the glue is still "wet", it might harden it a bit more, but the real way to "cure" the glue is UV light, which is what is used at the factory.

Ever wonder why cars built in the last 30-40 years, the interiors mostly don't fade & crack, the way they did before? It's because car manufacturers use a glass with a UV filter built into the glass (most likely the plastic or whatever that keeps the glass from shattering into a zillion pieces).

Don't think so? Wear a pair of glasses, with built in "sunglasses" that get dark when you go outside. They will not work, inside an automobile, and most discount eyeglasses stores, tell you that, before spending the money on that added "feature". Glasses that darken in sunlight don't work in cars because of that same UV protection of the automobile glass.

Just go to a nail salon, ask to use their nail drying/curing thingy. If you are lucky, single, perhaps you can strike up a conversation with a cute

nail clerk LOL.

We use a e-prom chip eraser that has a UV light. If mine has the yellow tint, I'll just pop off the bottom tray where the light is, and sit it on top of the bottom part of the phone for 10 minutes. Mine has a 21 June build date, which is suppose to be in the yellow stain builds, but I'm not using mine

right now. Still using my Huawei Ascend Mate2 as the daily driver. That huge screen is hard to put down.

Got my OPO Saturday afternoon. First thing I did was look for the yellow tint...didn't notice it at first. After looking at it from different angles and brightness settings, there is a slight tint at the bottom on the screen. It's pretty hard to see and if I wasn't fully aware of this issue beforehand, I may not have noticed it for awhile.

Hey,

Bad news. I used that lamp on 3 separate occasions last night...15 minutes each time....and nothing really changed. The yellow band is still there and didn't diminish that I could tell. Perhaps the 36W lamp isn't strong enough/uses the wrong wavelength?

At any rate,I will say that the strength of the yellow band seems to come and go throughout the day..whether it's my eyes or something else, sometimes it appears to be more prominent than other times. I have one of the phones from the 6/20 batch, so maybe it is true that it will almost completely go away over time (I've had the phone since Monday the 14th). This morning, for instance, it is there but it is not as strong as it was last night. I guess I'll wait and see. It is bothersome, but it isn't bothersome enough for me to try and deal with their RMA process, and I knew the risks with that when I bought the phone.
