[Galaxy S6 General] daffie:
As I said earlier, my screen is just about exactly the same as yours. I'm still debating whether or not to return it (would be my 4th S6...).

I come from the Note 4 which had a sublime screen which (as far as I can remember) had near perfect white values...white was white...no pink or green hues.

But I do struggle with the S6 because I just have no idea what exactly to expect?! Displaymate did some tests and both devices came out on top...apparently the screen on the S6 was even better than the Note4! So how is this possible I wonder...did they get pick of the bunch from Samsung...maybe even completely calibrated phones from the factory.

So many people complaining about the same bad to mediocre screen on the S6.

What to do...keep this one or go with S6 nr 4? Each day I find myself on the fence, which indicates the screen on my current S6 is good enough. Otherwise the choice would have been clear-cut...but unfortunately it is not :(
[Galaxy S6 General] superleeds27:
I know what you mean, Im coming from (and still using at the moment!) an S5, Screen to me looks fine, whites are white etc.

I too dont know what to expect? Is there such thing as a 'perfect unit' or are a few of us just looking too much in to this?

Its bareable compared to the last one, i just dont want to swap and end up with something worse!
[Galaxy S6 General] daffie:
Yeah I know...me and you both in the same boat exactly! So freaking annoying as well...the S6 should have been the be-all-end-all phone for me for a long time at least, and now I'm already contemplating getting the new Note 5 later this year. But the form factor of the S6 is just perfect for me...not too big, not too small...just perfect really.

Never before have I been this concerned about a new phone! :(

I'm typing this on my retina MBP 13" and the screen is perfect (calibrated by Apple)...white = white. No fussing about with pink or green hue or non-uniformity of the screen. When I hold my S6 next to the clear whites of the MBP, the S6 is so very yellow...so it's clear the color temp is also very much off. Definitely compared to the Note4.

Anyway...frustrating business all this is :mad:
[Galaxy S6 General] superleeds27:
Agreed, was looking at the G4 but like you say, the S6 is just the right size, 5.1 Inch, anything else just seems to big and clunky to hold and operate with one hand!
[Galaxy S6 General] daffie:
Have also been taking in the new G4 since yesterday, but it's not my cup of tea at all. Ungly design, especially the leather back :eek: And the OS is even uglier than TW ;)

The Note 4 had perfect size screen imo for everyday work (and play), but was just too heavy and big to be considered comfortable. Onehanded use was raher difficult indeed. Hoping the Note5 could be a tight lighter but not holding my breath as Samsung will be using more (if not all) metal this time around.

Anyway...the jury is still out on my current S6.....
[Galaxy S6 General] superleeds27:
Same, might start using it as my daily phone, see if my eyes just adapt to it

Only bought it from EE Last Saturday, so in theory should still have 9 days to return it, or swap it!
[Galaxy S6 General] ChriZer:
Yeah, I also don't know what to do.. Got mine from amazon and I'm afraid of getting a worse exchange unit :S
[Galaxy S6 General] daffie:
Yeah I'm doing the same...see if my eyes can somehow get a feel for the screen of the S6....

I've returned 2 devices already...luckily I bought from a very good store. Unfortunately I need to drive 50km's (return) each time to exchange the phone. I could send it in, but would take minimum 3-4 days before getting one in return.
[Galaxy S6 General] superleeds27:
Been playing about tonight and managed to get the following results. Attached.

Screen mode: Basic

I've then gone onto the colour adjustment section in accessibility, messed up the order of the colours on purpose so it gives me the option to adjust the colour. It tends to give you the option to increase/decrease red levels.
[Galaxy S6 General] hanano17:
Mine may be above average, but its like an Infiniti QX80, once you see it you can't unsee it. It's made more annoying by the fact that I do the same background on my N6 and its completely uniform. I just feel like if I go into a Tmo store they will laugh at me or tell me they won't do anything about it. Has anyone had experience with Tmo giving exchanges to issues like this, I know I saw one person say they got exchanges in store. Was it worse than mine, did they charge you a restocking fee or just swapped them free of charge? I'm on day 9 of 14 if that matters.
[Galaxy S6 General] daffie:
From the pics I can't determine a real difference between both?

I have in the meantime decided to again do a replacement for my 3rd device...hopefully it will be 4th time lucky ;)

The issues:

- Screen is not perfect...slight pink and green tint.

- very small gap between screen and device on top-left half

- powerbutton is very hard to press...not like the volume buttons at all

Will keep you posted on progress...should have new device tomorrow afternoon.
[Galaxy S6 General] thawk720:
Is color shifting more extreme on the regular S6? I picked up a regular to replace my edge and it's like I'm looking at a hologram trading card. Move the phone an inch or so either direction and get 3 different color hues. My edge, although a bit yellow / washed out, at least had a consistent image.
[Galaxy S6 General] hanano17:
I noticed this too, I figure it has to do with the pink tint. I'm going to try to get a replacement, if I can get any of my issues to show up at a Tmo store.
[Galaxy S6 General] thawk720:
Yeah, I don't know .. It's annoying though. I'm thinking about taking my chances with the edge again. It's odd that no one complained of pink on the edge, just yellow. Are they smashing the glass to hard on the panel of the regular s6?
[Galaxy S6 General] megagodx:
Luckily I don't have any of these issues on my Galaxy S6. But I have to say, the whites on the S6 AMOLED panel look much better than they do on the Note 4, especially in Cinema and Adaptive display mode.
[Galaxy S6 General] trenzterra:
I guess the green on the edge is too distracting for them that they neglect the slight pink tint in the middle... perhaps. The Edge does seem to come with its own set of problems (microscratches, etc) that may be a much bigger problem.
[Galaxy S6 General] gtg465x:
Samsung really needs to work on preventing color shifts at different viewing angles. The viewing angles are actually quite poor on AMOLED screens if you consider the green and pink shifting tints that come on rather strong when you aren't looking straight at them. My wife's iPhone 6 display, in contrast, looks almost exactly the same from every angle. There are no weird color shifts or rainbow effects.

Honestly, I would prefer the iPhone 6 Plus 1080p display to the display on the S6. The S6 is technically sharper, but I can't tell, and it has better black levels, but the iPhone displays have no color shift at different viewing angles, they have completely uniform screens with no unevenness, and whites are cooler and just more pleasing to look at, with no green or pink tint. Brightness and color accuracy are similar between the two. Oh, and the iPhone displays won't ever get burn in.
[Galaxy S6 General] reubenskelly1992:
Thats why im switching to the m9. Much more pleasing whites
[Galaxy S6 General] daffie:
Yes, but the blacks are not as great...certainly not as an amoled screen. Boils down to choices really I guess... :)
[Galaxy S6 General] gtg465x:
The thing about blacks though... in daylight and in brightly lit rooms, blacks on good LCDs look just as good as blacks on AMOLED. You can only see the difference when you're in a dim or dark place. With whites though, you can see poor whites in any lighting... daylight, night, everywhere. So I think whites on AMOLED are actually a bigger problem than blacks on LCD.

On another note, I find it strange that sites that review displays always ignore the pink and green tint issues and uniformity issues of AMOLED screens. It's like they only care about color accuracy, contrast, and brightness, and nothing else matters.

Still loving my S6, but coming from using good LCDs since the Galaxy S2, it is easy for me to spot some problems with AMOLED that people who have been using AMOLED for a long time probably don't notice because they are used to it.
[Galaxy S6 General] daffie:
Those are some valid points indeed! However the only thing I would question is 'whites on amoled screen in brightly lit room or daylight'. When returning my S6 (tomorrow will be the 3rd time!) I could never see the pink/green tint (poor whites) because it was in a very brightly lit store at daytime, but later at home in somewhat dimmer lighting (in the evening) the problems of poor whites became apparent.

I too find it rather strange not even one reviewer has remarked upon this when reviewing the S6. Every single review has praised the S6 for having the best screen...ever. And although on many points it is, the poor whites, non-uniformity issues and pink/green hues should have been clear to at least some reviewers you would think...no?
[Galaxy S6 General] reubenskelly1992:
Yeah before i got the s6 all reviewers would say something like "amazing deep blacks and crisp bright whites" i want to know what models there using. I agree that whites now are much more impirtant. Especially with lollipop everything is white. Settings. Messages. Email. Pretyy much everything. But also the tints are def worse when in doors when its dimmer than during the day. Lets not even mention the stupid panel you can see behind the screen in the sunlight lol

Same phone, same issue.

I can't switch to fastboot using buttons. VolDown+Power brings me to recovery. Recovery acts strangely: VolUp is mapped to Enter, Power is mapped to "No command".

Fastboot can be entered using "adb reboot bootloader". However, it doesn't display menu and doesn't support "oem get_identifier_token" command, so I don't know if it is locked or unlocked, and can't proceed with unlocking instructions.

If I may ask. Did you root your phone with the Android or PC kingo root app?
[Desire 820 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amirarsyad97:
I'm using the PC version. Download it from kingoapp.com, install it then you're good to root!.
[Desire 820 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gibz97:

[Desire 820 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amirarsyad97:
Yes, mine is 820s dual sim. Maybe they still do not make exploit for 820s lollipop roms.

One might wonder how one click root app like kingoroot functions. Here's the answer.

Would you backup your rom for me when you have achieved root? I highly appreciate it.

Some have got lollipop OTA on HTC Desire 820s while I'm still stuck on kitkat with no OTA in sight. Haven't rooted.
[Desire 820 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amirarsyad97:
Here you go. (I tweaked the status bar and nav bar with gravitybox and xstana)

No, I have not installed custom recovery yet. Most of the recoveries are for snapdragon, I cannot do anything with that. I was thinking of flashing the whole rom using sp flashtool for mediatek. Since theres no hboot, there's no need to unlocking the bootloader right and we can flash rom straight away. Or am I wrong?

I dont think any of us got the update already. They just bought the same phone but with lollipop ready.
[Desire 820 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gibz97:
I hope it comes soon for you or you might look for the lollipop version if it's available and flash it with sp falshtool.

About the bootloader, I'm not sure but I think there's a risk of bricking the device if you flash recovery on an unlocked bootloader

Finally booted 820s into fastboot mode. 5.5 inches of black display with => Fastboot mode.... at bottom left.

After that let it download ADB Drivers and install it. Then select HTC > Desire 820 from the list (Although it doesn't solve any purpose). Then connect your 820s with USB Debugging ON and press REFRESH to let Windroid detect your 820s and the status goes ONLINE once 820s connects successfully.

Next thing click on TOKEN ID, and let it do whatever it does. The device then boots into fastboot mode. If everything goes fine you get your device TOKEN ID.

But while using Fastboot Commands on Command Prompt, I'm unable to get my TOKEN ID using fastboot oem get_identifier_token, secondly the CID is also blank using fastboot getvar cid and same with MID using fastboot getvar mid

If screen shows USB 1.01, it means that your mobile is not completely dead. Worse case when it shows Serial.

Go to Windows XP and install ActiveSync 3.7(only 3.7, not later version) and try to flash again.

you proved my point, nuf said.

It took longer for you to hijack this thread than it would have to check another thread. That would have been much faster to read than signing up to the forum and asking the same old questions.

its very annoying when someone asks a question that been asked a thousand times, I am a mod (not here) in a few pc based forums, you know how long we have to spend removing threads or answering the same olds which have been asked time and time again, even though there are forum search engines, stickies or other posts answering them?

To be honest its you who needs to learn how to use a forum. And READ the forum rules. just like the hundreds of other users out there that never bother.

fyi: I am a second chef in a restaurant and work 36 hours a week. I also run a small pc repair business in my spare time, I just happen to love my xda2 and xad2i, so frequent these forums. Odd really shame I cannot get out of my bedroom and getting a "sh*g"? Well not as often as I would like, but I do manage. And its not nice making this a personal slur, as I was only pointing out your ineptitude about the use and etiquette of the net and forums.

p.s. if you would care to actually read my post as well, i never called you anything, it was the guy that poseted before you that tried to update to wm5/6. that "idiot noob self" must be somthing you get called alot (thats a personnel dig, as i like to leave things even)
