Got mine yesterday, small yellow tint at the bottom.

Let´s see how it goes in some days. It is not that big noticeable, but shouldn´t be here on a brand new Phone.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fallon:
I just got my OPO today, build date 2014.07.18.

After reading some of the stuff here I got pretty paranoid, but now that I have the device I'm not that concerned. Yes if I open up a white screen I can see a tint of yellow at the bottom, but I probably wouldn't have ever noticed or cared if I hadn't read about it here first. I might leave it out in the Colorado sun for an hour to see if that helps, or not, I'm not that concerned.

Greetings;

I got my ONE yesterday and the "Built Date" is July 16. I have no problem at all. Furthermore back in ONEPLUS forum, it seems most newly built units do not have the "Yellow" problem!
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tssphysicsboi:
Just to update everyone, I've placed my phone under the sun for a few more hours today and the yellow band on the bottom is definitely starting to disappear. I can barely see it now under a white screen.

You may give it a try. Don't put it there too long or your phone mag overheat

Got this yellow stain too, definitely barely noticeable, even more since I use the on-screen buttons. and I care less about this stain... Too happy to have this phone.

My build date is 21 July. I have slight yellow stain, but probably only see it due to being aware of the problem.

Holding the phone horizontal makes the yellow gradient very obvious.

I'm disappointed. Don't think that anyone will be purchasing any new phones from 1+ after this disaster.

Mine has it. OPO support script claims its 'by design', so I've sent a return ticket.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NaterTots:
I usually use on screen buttons so I never noticed it.

I have gone to the capacitive buttons to check and I think I have it very very slightly. Opening a blank chrome tab is the only way I can see it.

My build date was around 7/10 or so I think.

It really is nothing I'm concerned with.

Just a reminder, if you do try to see if UV light helps it may not do anything if you have a UV blocking screen protector on.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avetny:
very slightly. And now I understand that people making from this big problem.

Hey.....wait a minute, maybe people was seen worse? ;)
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yaotl:
I still would. I was curious, so I looked a little closer at my Nexus 10 and noticed it has very, very slight color changes throughout the screen. Nothing that is terribly jarring, but on a pure white background, it is not uniform. And I'd still buy it and the OPO because they are/were both great devices for much less than the competition.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tssphysicsboi:
I have to say my yellow bottom is 99% gone. I've put it under the sun for a few days on and off. Today under white background I cannot see any yellow anymore. I believe the uv works. Give it a try if you have the problem. My phone was produced in June. When I got it, it was pretty severe.

Hope it helps.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beastlykings:
I understand the complaint if you have a ridiculously Yellow bottom edge of screen, but it varies, and if you can't handle it fine, but these are still amazing devices for the price, the screen flaw is generally minimal, and perfectly understandable.

As to their not admitting it's a flaw? Well, if they did, they'd bankrupt themselves lol

I have the yellow band on the bottom of the screen. I tried an UV light at a nail salon (the girls who work there thought it was hilarious, I haven't had that much female attention in years) and it didn't really work. I only had it in there for 3 minutes though. I saw people talking about it on Reddit and they said it does disappear after approximately two weeks of use so I will just wait it out.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krazyq:
yellow tint doesn't bother me at all.

I forget it's even there.

For this price it's so worth it.

My sister just bought the LG G3 and I feel like my phone is faster than hers.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
If you guys really dislike the yellow tint and it bothers you simply workaround it. Its barely noticeable, either do the following.

1. Tinker around with the color settings to a point where you can barely see it or don't see it at all.

2. Activate on screen keys. the navigation bar (black) will block it out.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mehdi_s82:
I just wanted to share my experience with the yellow band issue. I received my OPO early July and there was a very slight yellow band on the bottom. Tried the UV light and I think it made it slightly better. I kept it because its not annoying and if I had not read these forums, I would not notice it at all.

Today, I noticed my $1000 Apple Cinema Display, has the same issue and it is even worse than OPO display! All over the bottom edge, there's a yellow band on white background. I think OPO deserves credit for what they have delivered given the overall value of the phone and little things like this doesn't impact the overall joy of using the phone.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdh10475:
I can defientaly agree with your statement. I just think that they could have handled it a little better than they did. Calling it a feature when its clearly not a feature, its a design flaw. What is strange is that some claim to have the band and some don't that I do not get. I think oneplus should have owned it and said the truth behind what the issue is. The fact that some have it and some don't leads me to think that a manufacturer had some quality control issues (maybe still do). I got my phone last Thursday with a July 3rd build date and I have the band but its minor. It blows me away that they are still shipping phones with out having this corrected.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonas740:
july 5

Mine is a July 5 build and i have very very little tone of yellow at the bottom. Not very noticable but it is there however.

To be abit offtopic, anyone noticed that the touch isnt as responsive as other screens from like Sony or Samsung. Not a big issue, got the phone yesterday and i kinda already adapted to press more distinct. I have however contacted Oneplus about theese things.

I dont think it is ok that some phones have yellow tint and some dont.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdh10475:
Yes I have the same touch issues example: I will hit the back key I look down and nothing has happened. It seems to happen more than I would like. My phone has touch sensitivity issues a yellow band and it powercycled on me today... Go figure.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user2837:
My phone manufactured on 28th of june has a 5 mm or so tall tinted band at the bottom of the screen that is possible to see only with a white background. I think there is a slight tint even higher up on the screen that that but it's very difficult to tell as I can't figure out how to make the display temperature colder in cm11's displays settings.

The phone stops responding to touches at least once per day, but I don't power cycle it anymore, it goes away after a couple of minutes or so, and it seems like it starts responding to all those gestures that did nothing before when it does wake from this coma state.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kopower:
July 3rd build here, and there is yellow banding at the bottom of the screen. I knew that before purchasing, so not a deal breaker for me. Hopefully it will resolve in a few weeks. Just got the phone a few days ago, so haven't got to fully test it out yet.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kokocabana:
Got mine yesterday. Says July 17, 2014 as the build date. Used the white background of the playstore to test the display at full brightness for any yellowing. Tried my hardest at finding any discoloration, but couldn't detect it. Sometimes I think I see something at the bottom because the phone is so tall that I tend to be holding the phone to focus on the top half of the screen and the angle that I see the bottom area appears different. At this point, I'm just looking for problems that aren't there for me.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DerRomtester:
You can notice the banding better with low brightness

My OPO also has yellow tint at the bottom. Waiting for an OTA to take care of the issue (make it less pronounced as it is hardware related)
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quailallstar:
Mine is July 11th build and it has a minor yellow tint at the bottom. Nothing that bothers me enough to ask for an RMA.

The ONLY thing that drives me nuts are the dim hardware buttons. A few posts back I saw one member who's buttons were defective and two of them were very bright (how they should look out of the box) and one totally dim like most of these phones are shipping with.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54340599&postcount=182&nocache=1&z=4599499427713454

So are these dim buttons also a defect? If someone could figure out a hack or mod to turn the brightness up it would be awesome!
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kokocabana:
The buttons are supposed to be dim. The OPO carries over a similar design from OPPO phones like the Find7.

I wonder how for some it's going away. I've had the phone a while now and mine still has it. It's almost impossible to read any news article on it because half my screen looks dirty. I'm very disappointed to be honest.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pifsworld:
Oneplus screen

It's strange as I've seen my friends oneplus and it's not got any yellow issue but every time is use mine it's better I did do the uv light and putting it out in the sun not sure if it helped or not had no other problems with the phone.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] selayan:
Yea I've been doing the sun bathing things. I've also tried the UV lamp. No matter what I do the bottom half of the screen looks dirty. It actuallly seems to get worse rather than go away. I can say that because as I compare I have to look further up the screen and see a much brighter clean gradient.

What sucks is they recently replaced a reviewer's phone on YouTube but not for yellow, as it had other issues. Of course his replacement has a crisp white screen with no yellow. It's ashame they don't care about their customers.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pifsworld:
If I was you I would just keep sending them emails saying how upset you are with your screen and even say the screen is going off and say it has other issues. Problem is you may get one thats got the same problem. I ordered mine on the 28\7 got it on the 4\8 and it was built on the 17\7 that's not long from final build and inspection the testers must see the yellow screen but my point is its not a long time from final build to me using it most phones are made then sit in a warehouse for 3-4 weeks till release this is why I believed that the method they use for sealing screens hasn't had the required time to set..
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] selayan:
I know they take forever to respond and sending more emails probably just complicates it more. I'm leaving on vacation soon. I have no worries as I'm taking the phone, box, everything with me in case they approve for a refund and I will send it from my friend's house.

But I'm sure I'll be back home and still waiting for them to reply.

It's ashame I like the phone but it's not useable for me with half the screen showing up dirty. If I get a refund I'll just wait for the nexus 6.

Been trying to leave Verizon and was hoping to do it with this phone but looks like that's not happening anytime soon. Glad I didn't port my number over to it from my HTC one m7 yet.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Jack of Clubs:
it doesn affect all of them. and the effect varies and is still unknown right now what exactly is causing it. if you cant see any yellow, then you continue on your happy way.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] livito:
I read that the yellow screen is due to how fast OPO is trying to get the phones out, the have more demand than they were expecting, so the glue they use to hold the screen in place is to fully dry when the phone is shipped to the customer, the yellow screen is supposed to go away in a few days after the glue dries out.

message on OnePlus forum about Banding

Apparently, the "yellowish tint" is a feature, not a bug...LOL, according to one of the people at Oneplus, Jerry.

Anyone remember Samsung, Apple, LG, HTC saying a yellowish stain at the bottom of the screen is acceptable??

I highlighted the interesting part in BOLD print.

A lot of discussion about the yellow screen has surfaced recently, but to avoid confusion and repetition, we are consolidating responses in threads where these have been extensively discussed.

There are two issues people are referring to: a generally warm screen and a slight yellow band at the bottom.

The warmness reflects the software adjustments made to make screen look more natural. Many of you have expressed interest in a cooler screen, so we are addressing this in the next OTA. Read more: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/re-yellow-screen.40239/

Because of strict quality control standards, variation between different batches is very limited. All OnePlus Ones have a slight yellow band at the bottom, but this is only visible in extreme circumstances and does not affect daily use. Read more: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/winners-which-one-is-the-one.42475/

For those have yet to play with the phone yourself, we appreciate your patients and urge you to read the reviews of other members who have already purchased the phone. You’ll find that they are overwhelmingly positive. If you believe your device has quality issues, please contact our Customer Support for consultation and resolution.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Jack of Clubs:
I've heard it's glue, I've heard it's the adaptive backlight, I've heard it all. I got my oneplus today and it's not yellow at the bottom of the screen. I can put up a white image and try different brightness and look at it from different angles, it's not there for me. I've been told I have the June 21st batch and the June 20th batch that has it. I've been told I'm a liar and I'm blind and it's there and I just don't see it (I'll have you know I have terrific vision!). Either way I'm happy my phone is defect free.

Apparently the glue reacts with UV light, so I suppose you could try that first, before heating the device up to frying pan temperatures. No-one at OPO seems to have a clue, not sure if a commercial fish tank light would work though.

At the same moment the main OnePlus forum just exploded of the number of questions, theories and all kinds of options how to fix this problem.

But I tried UV and sun. No result. Yellow tint still there.

Many said that this is just the glue and it is still wet, and eventually it will pass. Some users get answers from support that this problem is part of design :)

Because of that many users is very upset because they can't ask for replacing of the phone.

And now they try to close all threads about that and ban some users that speak about this problem
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
The only logical explanation seems to be the glue (I honestly can't think of any other heat reacting substance). The OPO forums are TERRIBLE, Pete himself goes around stalking the forums, yet never faces his own customers. It is horrible how they've tried to make it out, the yellow screen is a design decision. Absolutely ridiculous. As for the UV, are you sure it was intense enough? Sometimes you need a higher concentration of UV radiation, just like microwave radiation, bombard the glue with more radiation?

Hard to tell with all the jpeg compression banding artifacts and off-axis shot that reveals typical IPS weaknesses but your OPO screen looks to have a mild warm cast. That's easily fixed in Settings. The people with a "real" issue are experiencing something totally different, yellow uncured glue like the first batch of Nexus 5 and iPhone 5 had.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnatok:
It is not my OPO. I have problem which can be seen on the second photo - yellow tint at the bottom of the screen. I submitted the ticket 4 days ago, no response.

And how glue can be "uncured"?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrashTestDroid:
Poor lighting and crappy photography made that second photo useless, there's no detail, too hard to tell what's a compression artifact and how much of the "yellow band" is due to that. Do you have a better picture to illustrate the problem?

I remember when the Nexus 5 came out, same yellow screen problems as reported for the OPO, the fix was to wait a couple weeks and wait until the glue layer between digitizer and screen is cured.
