You can try various "fixes" or tricks how to get adhesive treated so it no longer has yellowish tint. As long as it is across the whole screen evenly, that means it will go away; by using your screen, adhesive will settle in and by warmth of the screen during usage, this will ultimately go away!

Sometimes people will pay whatever price, but want to get 100% functional and running as designed unit. At the price of $700-750 (with tax and shipping) this phone M U S T be perfect. Only thing that is imperfect for some people is the size, if they have smaller hands... nothing else...

Look man, Sprint as a carrier sucks big time, but that is beyond the point. Apparently they are interested to sell different more mainstream phones and not Nexus 6 - so, what I am suggesting is check other carrier's display models of Nexus 6 and also local electronics store like BestBuy. When playing with it, on each do turn off automatic brightness option, and you will notice an instant jump in brightness (even though slider from notification menu does not change its position) ... then crank it up manually and you will see what a real brightness level is... and then that OPO, that piece of Chinese scam of the century will look amazingly forgettable, once you check nexus 6 correctly.

I had OPO, and between pissed-on screen on the bottom yellowing tint which is hardware defect, top of the screen that has completely cool temperature, also ghosting on touchscreen, wifi issues, and finally non-warranty and non-existent support that OPO is trying to sell so hard, but without success...

OPPO owns OnePlus... Oppo Find model that had 5.5" with the same resolution was initially the model with all these issues. Since they had over 500,000 to 700,000 units ordered and launched in Asia, they pretty much launched "new" company globally (instead of OPPO going global) and simply are getting rid of all the defective parts for a dirt cheap price for the phone... One thing I have no clue is how in the heck did FCC approve this phone to be sold in USA.

Anyhow, sidetracked from the topic, but yeah - good luck with your OPO man! You will definitely need it for warranty at least ;)

Hope they fixed it ..

same here hope they fixed it .. by the way my n6 is from att .. all im waiting now is franco kernel ..
[Nexus 6  General] GBPackerFanForLife:
I tried it but I'm still not satisfied with the screen I'm starting to think its just the type of screen that they used..if you tilt the phone to the right or the left the screen looks a lot better but soon as you look at the screen straight forward you see the ugly yellow tint on the screen.I have seen this on 4 different phones.. Thinking of going back to my G3...very disappointed with screen they used on this phone..
[Nexus 6  General] jbdan:
It's about what you're used to. When I tilt my Nexus 6 screen its got a green tint. Straight on it looks normal/right/correct. I'm used to a warm screen in the nexus 5 though so that's what I favor.
[Nexus 6  General] mgear356:
I am getting this as well.. The top 20% looks more whiter than the bottom 80% as its yellowish
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
I would consider this a screen defect if its too different colors. Unless a kernel can fix it.
[Nexus 6  General] bradputt:
is it the angle that you are look at the screen?

i find that different angle the yellow tint will shift position.
[Nexus 6  General] oastjc:
Hey guys,

I have two nexus 6 when I put it side by side, one of it does seem to have a yellow tint.

BUT it had the factory film on, after taking it off and by the following steps provided by a moto rep. The yellow tint seemed to go away.

let me know if this helps!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With the phone powered off, press and hold the Volume Down button and the Power button at the same time until the device turns on.

You will see the word "Start" with an arrow around it.

Press the Volume Down button twice to highlight "Recovery mode"

Press the Power button to restart into Recovery mode.

You'll see an image of an Android robot with a red exclamation mark and the words "No command."

While holding down the Power button, press the Volume Up button.

Use the volume buttons to scroll to "wipe cache partition" and press the Power button to select it.

"Reboot system now" will be highlighted, press the Power button to select it.
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
I find it funny how the rep made you wipe cache to try and fix a screen warmth issue.
[Nexus 6  General] zephiK:
What he said, I haven't done what he said but I can assure you that doing those instructions would just be placebo as it has nothing to do with the screen.

Its one of those... "let me get this guy off the phone asap" tactics when it comes to customer service.
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
Yea for sure. You have to try and get a good rep if you wanted to get an rma. Keep it for some time and see if it goes away.
[Nexus 6  General] zephiK:
I wouldn't necessarily say that I have a yellow tint, just not used to warmer temperatures but as I use the phone more I get more used to it. When RGB and Gamma controls are available, I'll most likely change it to cooler temperature settings and then all will be good.
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
Yea I've been used to the cool displays of the HTC devices. My friend has a nexus 5 and I can already tell it has warm whites with lower brightness. Actually it's not bad at all like that. The whites get brighter as you turn the brightness up.
[Nexus 6  General] zephiK:
At the cost of battery, I still wish the phone came with IPS as Lollipop is natively white instead of dark/black backgrounds compared to the Holo days.
[Nexus 6  General] msd24200:
I guess I'm lucky as my whites are white. I don't see any yellow tint. I've read some say the screen doesn't get bright, well mine at max brightness hurts my wife's eyes and my eyes.
[Nexus 6  General] HyperM3:
What Ive been noticing, and I dont know if this has been brought up already, is that if Im looking dead straight at my screen it has a yellow tint like I mentioned before. However, if I tilt the phone in any direction just a tiny bit, the screen pops white. I dont know if anyone else can confirm this happens on theirs as well.
[Nexus 6  General] wendellc:
My phone also yellow tint when in first received it a few days ago. It was rally noticeable when placed next to my nexus 5. Screen has gotten a lot better and most of the yellow gone away.
[Nexus 6  General] hello00:
you and your wife have sensitive eyes. We all know max brightness isnt bright enough, unless you are in a dark room
[Nexus 6  General] msd24200:
Lol no on dim my N6 is as bright as her s4 on brightest setting
[Nexus 6  General] Jnewell05:
Looks yellow to me compared to my nexus 5 too. I am able to increase brightness to minimize the effect. But Im not a screen snob. I will adjust especially since I don't use my n5 ne more
[Nexus 6  General] mgear356:
actually, i noticed if you are under amber lighting, the screen will look more white

but if u are under white lighting, it is more yellowish when compared to my IPS G2.
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
Erica griffen measured the brightness at 400 nits.
[Nexus 6  General] pifsworld:
I have a one plus one and there was an update that made the screen cooler as they had problems with the yellow band at the bottom maybe its worth asking one of the reviewers to take a look on YouTube or xda..
[Nexus 6  General] alias3800:
I've personally noticed this on a few store models
[Nexus 6  General] bradputt:
Yes, mine is the same, when you look straight on its yellowish.

But when you tilt a little it become more white
[Nexus 6  General] alias3800:
Yeah that would bother me to no end
[Nexus 6  General] Purpleclad:
Same here. Mine is pee yellow looking straight on, but turns bright white if tilted ever so slightly in either direction. Drives me crazy.
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
Has anyone who has had it for some time now can you comment if it has gone away or would you say it's a screen calibration issue? Defect?
[Nexus 6  General] tomzefi:
My screen is yellow !!!
[Nexus 6  General] Clienterror:
Omg that yellow tint is insane! Return that bro pretty sure it isn't normal.
[Nexus 6  General] tomzefi:

[Nexus 6  General] americasteam:

[Nexus 6  General] tomzefi:
Rlmao
[Nexus 6  General] n19htmare:
Oneplus updated their profile to show MUCH cooler whites (borderline blue) in order to curb the yellow band or tinge at the bottom 20% of the screen they had due to LED placement at the bottom of the panel. They figured if they made the whole screen super cool white....people wouldn't notice the yellow tinge.

Unfortunately... for you......I can still see the bottom 20% of the OPO is different shade.

Fortunately for you, OPO is not the phone you should be comparing your Nexus 6 to as OPO is highly inaccurate.

Inconsistent tint

My first N6's screen was good enough that I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. But, unfortunately, it had a defective vibration motor. Sounded like a metallic rattling when typing w/haptic enabled.

The RMA for that one had uneven tinting. 1/2 was pink-ish, 1/2 was yellow-ish. I RMA'd that one and the 3rd one also had the same issue, though in a different spot and more pink in the pink area.

Really disappointed with the screen. I rage quit after the 3rd one, guess I'll wait until next year and try again or find a device on VZW I can unlock and run cm11/cm12 on. :eek:
[Nexus 6  General] McSaggler:
I notice this too. I didn't notice it until you told me. It's very faint, but it's there.
[Nexus 6  General] cobyman7035:
I have the stock screen protector still... Not impressed with colors..seems dull compared to my nex5 Franco kernel... Hopefully custom kernel mods will fix this

I'm using 25% brightness... Even at 100% brightness... Its very low IMO..

Such fail for qhd screen

Are there any color apps for nonroot?
[Nexus 6  General] zephiK:
No. Root is required to do the changes needed for colors. The ability to change colors has been out for awhile. Flash a custom kernel and use trickster.
[Nexus 6  General] nba1341:
God the screen looks like crap I almost want to return it.

I started using Screen Adjuster again which I haven't used since my HTC Sensation. Just add 15 blue and I am good to go. The only bug is that you cannot sideload apps unless you turn off screen adjuster. The install button is not pressable... no idea why
[Nexus 6  General] cobyman7035:
Was hoping franco had nex6 kernel … which kernel u reccamend for best battery life.. Thx

[Nexus 6  General] timlad:
Guys got my Nexus 6 yesterday and the uneven yellow tint on my screen has been bothering me all day i installed a screen test app to take a picture of the pure white screen to do an RMA, the first time the white screen has the yellow uneven whites I ran through the other colors and test patterns got back to the white screen and notice i could barley see the yellow tinge, did it again and now its gone completely !!

Anyone else care to try ??

[Nexus 6  General] dbdynsty25:
The Nexus 6 is definitely more warm compared to the REALLY cool OPO. I've got the same combo of phones, along with a 2014 Moto X. The Motos with their AMOLED displays lean towards the warm. The OPO is just WAY too far to the cool. I had to use a screen adjuster to add a bit of warmth to it. Something in the middle of the two would be ideal IMO.
[Nexus 6  General] jkc120:
Not here, I think you were seeing things that weren't there. If there's uneven yellow tint, it's not going to go away from an app.
[Nexus 6  General] AVF Jay:
Before I start I'd like to say that I am very OCD/Anal and it really ruins the enjoyment out of anything I buy. Regardless of what I buy I find faults in it and end up in a constant RMA session. I really wish I could just "enjoy things" and not focus on faults.

Anyway.....

I initially bought 1 device from google play store and returned it due to really bad screen uniformity, which was visible on all colours.

I have since bought 3 Nexus 6 devices from 3 different retailers with the intention of keeping the "best" one.

2 of them have a yellow tint, 2 of them have a loud vibrate, and all 3 of them have poor uniformity on dark shades i.e greys etc One thing I've noticed is that the 2 devices with a yellow tint go pink when adaptive brightness is enabled and the brightness is reduced, whereas the whiter device has no pink tint regardless of how low the brightness goes.

I have taken (bad) pictures to try and illustrate it.

Below you can see the uniformity differences

And here you can see the 2 devices on the left are yellow, and the 3rd device on the right is "whiter"

At this stage I don't know what to do, I don't think it's worth trying another device. While I love Amoled devices and the excellent contrast they provide due to the amazing blacks, the screen uniformity issues in dark shades annoys me. I'm starting to be drawn back to lcd as to be honest with lcds the main thing I have to worry about is backlight bleed, with amoled there is the graininess, the uniformity issues, mura, purple smearing etc

To be totally honest what bothers me the most is uniformity issues, I couldn't care less about tints etc, I'd prefer a pink tint that's evenly distributed over the screen rather than a whiter screen with darker patches etc
[Nexus 6  General] funcrusher:
Curious - what's the date on the box of the one with the whiter screen?
[Nexus 6  General] AVF Jay:
I've had a quick look on the boxes and I can't see anywhere obvious where it says the date. Where would I find it? I've posted pictures of the boxes incase someone can highlight where it might be

One thing I did find on the box is a "Sequence number". Two are from the same batch ending 277 and one of them is from a later batch ending 278. The one with a whiter screen is from Sequence 277.

Speaking as someone who has owned pretty much every amoled device from samsung, motorola, nokia and ps vita I honestly don't think these "issues" will be fixed, the uniformity issues on dark shades of grey and uniformity on whites is an oled trait unfortunately. Every amoled/oled device I've owned has struggled with dark greys, I have an LG Oled Tv and if I put greyscale slides up it shows the same flaws It also has green tinting on the edges of the screen when a white image is shown.

Infact I have NEVER found an amoled/oled display that is perfectly uniform on dark greys. Obviously there are devices that suffer from less uniformity issues than others but I've yet to see a "perfect" one. I'm also pretty sure I could find a fault in someone who says they have a perfect screen :D The purple smearing I've gotten used to and can ignore but find uniformity issues on dark colours annoying as I watch a lot of dark content in bed mainly which really highlights the issues.

I've tried taking a couple more pictures to highlight the colour difference although it's hard to show as I'm using an ipad camera

Here is a picture using one of the Nexus 6 cameras, the difference is more obvious in this picture. Both phones have adaptive brightness disabled and are at maximum brightness.
[Nexus 6  General] funcrusher:
Hmm...

I'm on T-Mobile in the US and my sticker looks different than yours. The bottom line of mine says 'Made in China' then has a date to right right of that, followed by a H/W number.
[Nexus 6  General] AVF Jay:
I'm in the U.K so that might explain the differences.

From my relatively small sample (4 devices) if I was betting on it, I'd say that the majority of the nexus 6 devices probably have a warmer colour tone.

One other thing I've noticed with Nexus 6 that has the whiter screen is that it seems to crush blacks. I downloaded this application https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gombosdev.displaytester&hl=en and ran the black saturation test and it crushes a lot of the blacks compared to the other two devices. While my picture below isn't great, the other two devices show up to square 4. While the other one starts crushing blacks much earlier which isn't normal. In films with lots of dark scenes there's no shadow detail at all.
[Nexus 6  General] JHadley:
I have the same issue where the bottom of my screen is noticeably more yellow than the top. I called Motorola this morning and that is the first thing they suggested for me. I just told them I'd already done a factory reset to get past that since I too thought it was laughable. They then told me to send photos of the screen, so I did. I'm still waiting for the return call on the next step.

I tried not to let it bother me, but with so much white and gray content in lollipop, it was driving me crazy. The white background shows the yellow to white blend, and a gray background makes it look like half the screen has terrible light bleed.
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
Don't wait for them to call back. Call them or you won't get anywhere. Luckily my 32gb I sent back didn't have any yellow. Neither does the 64gb I got.
[Nexus 6  General] JHadley:
Yeah, I figured I'd give them a shot at keeping their promise of calling back within a couple hours of receiving the photos, but that time has elapsed. I'll give them a call back now.

I wouldn't care if my screen were all the same color as the bottom, but seeing the cool white at the top and the warm yellow at the bottom is killing me. Oh well...
[Nexus 6  General] jtwlbz:
I had the exact same problem and replaced it. no problem.
[Nexus 6  General] mindfever91:
Hey guys,

I'm in a bit of a dilemma here. I've got my MB64 a week ago and so far I absolutely love everything about this device. The only thing that's bugging me is that is a slight yellowish tint on the right that's only visible on a certain shade of grey that some apps use, like the grey bar in the Google camera app where the shutter button is. Other than that it isn't visible, colors like white are pure and unaffected. The device is also otherwise completely free of any other possible defects, no dust under the screen or camera, no dead pixels, no nothing. Do you think the yellow tint may fade over time once the screen "burns in"? (in a positive way, lol). I just don't want to take it back yet as I fear getting a device with much worse defects like rattling vibration and whatnot.

Thanks for you help!
[Nexus 6  General] mustyrash:
Personally I suggest ignoring it. My original device had a half yellow half pink tint and I RMA'd it, took a week and a half to get back to me. Screen was good enough but had pink and yellow stripes on Max brightness which I hardly ever use, camera can focus, vibration was loud but couldn't feel it that much. Applied my dbrand and tampered glass protector only to just find out that my ram and storage combo causes light flow lag. For the sake of a few seconds every notification, I'd personally keep what I have, there is no perfect nexus 6 yet.
[Nexus 6  General] Riktar:
I'm running into the same issue myself. I've had 2 n6 so far, the first had some premature burn in from the factory. I called att and swapped it. In comparison to the first, the replacement doesn't have any burn in but the screen is slightly dimmer due to a pinkish hue (at full brightness) such as the pics depicted on this thread. I've contacted them and they are sending me a final replacement. We'll see which one is better. It's really a non-issue, and my wife insists I'm just being picky lol, but If i could have a combination of the first screen and second that would be perfect.

Moto and att are standing behind it which is good, I'm just ready to get a phone that I can keep so I can start flashing!
[Nexus 6  General] mindfever91:
Thanks for your input guys, that was what I needed. I'm pretty sure it will stop to annoy me at some point. I mean I just paid 649 Euros for this gadget and for that I want it to be perfect of course. But seeing what defects others have to put up with their devices, I might as well call myself lucky.

I've had my N6 for a few days and have not had any sort of problem at all like ones a lot bring up. (Knock on wood)

That being said. Those who have the split screen discoloring or any other problem. Did these develope over time or were they present out of box?
[Nexus 6  General] aewig:
It was 6500 on the screen of the guy who made the changes and tested with a calibrator. Others should not expect the same result; just look at how many people have different tinted screens from the factory? If you have a uniform screen color but want it warmer or cooler I suggest playing around with the settings to find what you like and not rely on someone else's screen.
[Nexus 6  General] mustyrash:
My split discolouring was out of the box
[Nexus 6  General] jkc120:
As were mine. All of them. This one isn't very noticeable but it has its own issues (burnin, banding or lighter horizontal areas.). But a "perfect" amoled screen is 1/10 or maybe 1/25 so I'm just going to stick with this one.
[Nexus 6  General] mustyrash:
Yeah my first RMA seems good enough to keep. Can't notice the striped yellow and pink unless I look for it on Max brightness
[Nexus 6  General] Owdy:
That was awesome. Thanks.
[Nexus 6  General] Taco1:
Balls

It isn't by design, my first Nexus 6 was much cooler than the second one I received, the only reason why I even got a second one was because the vibration motor kept rattling on the first one. The second one is flawless but has a more yellowish screen which sucks. It really depends if you;re lucky or not. :eek: :eek: :eek:
