Well, you have 14 days to file for an rma. You can always do that and get your money back. They will not exchange for the yellow banding issue/feature. You can always get your money back and buy a phone without the issue. Note 4 will be out soon and the Nexus 6 (if rumors are correct) will be an absolute killer phone.

That's a bummer, I wasn't aware that they weren't exchanging for the "feature"

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilbarger:
Their stance is that since it is a feature, you would only receive a phone like what you already have as their QC is so strict about the phones matching. Crazy, isn't it?

You know I feel the ultimate loser in all this mess in Cyanogen. They worked hard to forge themselves as a corporation, and did well to partner with a company to focus on delivering a phone with their custom OS on it. Only to get betrayed by their ridiculous politics, horrendous customer service, and rubbish quality control standards.

Hopefully they will choose more wisely next time.

Received mine last week and have no yellow band issue so I guess I'm lucky
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demontooth:
I can deal with the band... It's the touch screen issues that made me pick up this LG G2.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aka_ronin:
To all the people saying they have a "perfect screen", like a ALL white screen when displaying a white background/image... well I'm sorry... you have a faulty device... because the yellow band at the bottom of the screen is a FEATURE and ALL Ones have it. Return yours because it is damaged.

I dislike OnePlus for their anti consumer practices and I also dislike Cyanogen after they incorporated and threw some of their contributors under the bus, but you don't see me whining about it every chance I get, or try to bring down those who are happy with their device.

This is good news, maybe they ran out out of defective displays from oppo?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan37tz:
I've purchased 3 OPO's so far and all of them have the yellow band on the bottom of varying degree. Some more visible than others but they all have it.

The last one I purchased I thought was perfect, could not really detect it but when night falls and the lights dim, I'm sitting in my bed reading some news article, that yellow band reared it's ugly head. At full brightness it's hard to detect on this latest one, hell I can't even capture it on camera, but once brightness goes down you can definitely see it when scrolling text from the bottom to the middle and comparing it. You will see that it's more yellow near the bottom edge of the screen. I can live with this one, the first two were much worse and seem to take up a 1/4 or more of the screen.

The sad thing is this last one seems to be suffering wifi disconnect and range issues, I have a Netgear Blackhawk AC router that pretty much covers my entire house, this last one seems to lose connection in my family room, which is about 50 feet from my home office where the router is located. My first two OPO's didn't have that issue.

If it was another other phone I probably would have gotten rid of it and never looked back...unfortunately this is probably the best Android phone i've used so I can't seem to give it up :laugh:

The sad part about all this is if they release a new better spec phone in 12 mths most people will buy it again even after all these problems that opo have agreed are there but refuse to replace and refuse to change the screen,even if they said OK we need new screens and started building all new opo with new screens then started replacing bad handsets but there not there just carrying on regardless and we are letting them by buying the phones.. We should stop buying them get on there forums and stop ordering these defective phones that's the only way there going to listen..
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan37tz:
They should change their "Never Settle" slogan, because for $300-350 it's obvious people have to "settle" for B grade screens.

The sad thing is I'd actually pay $100 more for a OPO with a perfect screen.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] selayan:
Yea funny how its never settle yet they deny any issue and offer little to no customer service. Yet they talk about the whole experience being different and better, well that isn't always the case.

I agree I would pay more for a better screen too. Some though are shipping in good condition but they also have no QC standards.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pieceofphil:
Hey guys have received my second Oneplus after I sold the first.... And guess what this one has the yellow banding too, less than my first one but still has it from 0-40% brightness and about 1.5 cm (is pretty much covered with onscreen buttons ehich I hate..).

So the problem is not fixed as my first One was Production date beginning July and the new One beginning august. I think it is finally time to start with never settle, gave this company enough chances.

And everyone saying this is a minor issue, I have possessed phones for less than 150 Euro and their screens were white from top to bottom.

I spent too much time praising this company, but I will share my thoughts on this issue and drag oneplus for not even caring about me as their customer and blocking me on their forums for speaking my mind.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wbs3333:
I don't think they will fix this anytime soon. It doesn't look to be a glue issue, it looks to be indeed a hardware design issue as stated by Oneplus and from what they said it looks like they don't plan to fix it unless they start really bleeding out money due to people returning the phone. Look here:

But it is yellow too!

I can see it very easy on the right corner of the bottom...
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kokocabana:
I've been taking a lot of pictures of the bottom of my screen since I noticed a tiny bit of warmness at the bottom of my screen. After using it for 2 weeks and updating to the new OTA, it was still there. I haven't used any UV on it. Just checked again tonight and noticed that I can't find it anymore. That yellow that you see in that picture is due to the camera taking a picture of a direct light source. The camera picks up more light from the bottom edge because that is where the backlight is located so the picture just looks brighter at the bottom. You wouldn't be able to actually see it with your eyes. I just took some more photos and the camera kept picking up the same thing in the corners because of the backlight but I've shown it 2 of my friends and pointed out the difference in what the camera picks up and what our eyes are seeing and they agree with me that the screen is uniform.

Some shots of the bottom corners in the dark.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kokocabana:
The question asked in the poll isn't clear because there are two issues with the display. One is the whole screen having a yellow tint fixed by the OTA and the other is the band caused by backlight.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cpt.Peppy:
I received my OPO yesterday and it has an yellow band at the bottom. Very frustrating because the phone is really fantastic except this yellow band. Some years ago I remember that my Samsung Galaxy S2 had a yellow tint at the left side which was fixed with an update related to the kernel. So hopefully it can be fixed because otherwise I will just sell it.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pifsworld:
Mine had yellow tint when I first got one but it's going away I can hardly see it. All I can say is that the phone is still great its just the way we have been treated by the company that's pissing us off. I also agree the more you get worked up about the screen the worse it looks try and forget about it and upload some themes so you can't see the yellow band..

Could it just be that the people who get it have been using it with the nav bar? I notice at least on the oled display on my gnex that many times the part with the nav bar get's darker and on my g1 with an lcd that it gets warmer looking when I display one half of the screen white and the other half black on the black side for some reason. I'm guessing ips would have some of the same problems, anyone agree? Some kind of temporary burn in or something?

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamwave:
Can't you just use UV and a small amount of heat on the area? If it's glue that should facilitate the curing process if they didn't finish in the factory. Had the same problem on my S3 with a replacement screen. I just put it in a ziplock on my front porch for a couple days and it was fine

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kokocabana:
Most of the yellow issues are due to the backlight placement on the bottom of the screen. Their concentration there instead of spreading them out makes the very bottom look a bit warmer due to backlight bleeding. Some people have it worse than others.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamwave:
But it would use an led backlight like most modern phones though where the entire back reflector panel is luminous, right? Even my g1 used that as there is no way to reasonably fit a refractor panel in there, too thin

No yellow tint on mine. I received it about a week ago.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istrikerx:
The way they've handled the issue is nothing short of disgusting.

Every customer service response, which takes almost a full week to actually get, is a load of excuses that practically claim it to be a hardware feature and perfectly normal.

The initially tried to sell it to me as something to do with thin bezels and backlighting, claiming it was normal. This is a design fault.

They then said that it was just a warmer screen tone, and that it could be calibrated out. This is not a solution at all.

They eventually acknowledged it as a fault, but that it is perfectly normal for most people, so they won't replace it. Basically a big FU to every customer.

So basically, never ever buy phones from a company with no offices situated in the country you're residing in. In the end I just sold the thing at a profit and bought a Z2 and threw CM11 on it. Not ideal, as it's not quite as good in terms of hardware as the OPO, but the screen absolutely destroys it, despite losing 0.3".

Pathetic excuse of a company. I'd advise anyone even considering this phone to ask themselves if they can live with having zero aftersales support and a very high chance of having a very noticeable screen defect that won't simply vanish into nothing. For those who for some reason enjoy having software buttons visible on screen at all times, it will be less of an issue, as the black bar will cover a lot of the defect. Many people would prefer not to give up another 10% of screen space though.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] selayan:
I got the same response as you from them about the screen. I returned mine for a refund. There is the note 4, new moto x, nexus 6 coming out soon so I'll just stick to my m7 now and get a new phone in the next 2 months.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickyx32:
I never bothered to use their support, you have to be a fool to do so after hearing all the horrible tales. I currently have two OPO's, though I already sold one for profit and filed a PayPal claim on another because of a faulty motor, they easily fold and offer you a replacement or full refund if you let them know your problems with the device on PayPal.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluruld:
It takes using the Display Tester app to see that faint yellow tint at the bottom. I don't notice it in everyday use. I believe there has been other manufacturers with similar display issues. I would describe it as very minute.

Anyways after a month I really like my phone and the battery life is great. I'm a happy customer.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istrikerx:
I'd already sold the phone by the time the first response finally trickled through. Didn't really do my research there. Paypal kind of slipped my mind as I was a bit annoyed at finally getting the phone only to see a big yellow spludge at the bottom.

I'm probably more annoyed now that I could have just kept the phone and fixed it using the software gradient tool.

But oh well, lesson learnt. Half tempted to get another invite and try my luck again with a different paypal address. The hardware really is second to none. As much as I love the Z2 with CM11, its still a brick in the hand with a smaller screen vs the soft curves of the OPO.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] selayan:
The software gradient tool did nothing for mine. It really depends how yellow the band comes through. It's a lottery, you may get a good one, you may not.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istrikerx:
Ah, that sucks.

Think I'll just paypal dispute if the next one I get has it. Seen a few unconfirmed reports that they fixed it like they did in the Find7 but nothing concrete.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] selayan:
Well they know its hardware/by design so unless OP comes out and says we are using new screens, etc I would be weary.

I too thought of trying again, but with new phones coming out soon, better wait.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istrikerx:
Yeah I'm kinda in the same boat. Only thing is new phones will be £500+ to buy outright, versus the £269 for the OPO.

Plus Samsung seem to really want to push their exynos variant of the Note 4, so that rules it out for me. The Z3 is just the Z2, and the Ascend Mate 7 will likely have little support.

Won't see any real movement in the mobile front till 64bit phones emerge.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] selayan:
I was set on having a new phone once I received the opo. Until I realized my yellow band is horrible and sent it back. Now going back to my m7 I really want a newer phone so I can leave Verizon.

The nexus 6 is my only option since I've had almost every htc phone out there except the m8. The note 4 looks good for someone who's not had any previous note devices but I hate touchwiz and they are a pain to root or unlock the boot loader. I just don't want to wait lol.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istrikerx:
Mmmm I completely forgot about new Nexus devices!

They seriously need to beef up the battery in them though to get my attention. Had both the Nexus 4 and 5 and had to send both back as they lasted half a day at most with little usage for me.
