Have it ever so slightly in the bottom left of the screen.

Seeing some on here and I can say mine doesn't seem too bad. The chances of getting a perfect unit, the hassle of returning etc. I'm tempted to just deal with it!
[Galaxy S6 General] reubenskelly1992:
Not sure what other company's do, but I felt the same about the hassle but Vodafone when I rang within half an hour they arranged to deliver my new one Friday and take my old one back, very easy and hassle free. Much easier than I thought
[Galaxy S6 General] superleeds27:
I get that but you could end up swapping a unit that's not too bad, for one that's worse, and it could go on forever!
[Galaxy S6 General] reubenskelly1992:
Then you keep going until you get one your pleased with. A fair few have said there second device has been a lot better so a good chance it will:)
[Galaxy S6 General] Roflwafflez:
Just wanted to post up to say that I am planning on getting another S6 at some point (I already have cases and skins and stuff for the S6 lol), but I'm gonna hold off for a few weeks to get the first batches out of the way and see if there are any patches for the LED problem. But I do plan on coming back, bad looking screen or not :good:.

-Matt
[Galaxy S6 General] reubenskelly1992:
Good plan. I'm gonna keep going until I find one I'm happy with. The whites on mine are horrible and yellow with a 3rd if the screen with a different tint to it on blacks too. It's not the worst I would admit but I felt I can't live with it, it's all I notice, so I have to try for a new one, wish me luck for my 2nd go on friday:)
[Galaxy S6 General] vienly:
Does anyone know if we have to get a replacement from the place we got it from or would Samsung let us RMA the device for a new one?

I'm with o2 and have already paid off the device contract and cancelled the airtime with them so no ties with them anymore.
[Galaxy S6 General] trenzterra:
Well considering the fact that most products are made in sweatshops and some even employ child labour... I don't have high hopes for QC. Moreover, unless everyone starts complaining about it, I don't think the cost is justifiable on Samsung's part.

So I guess in a way it's good for everyone if all of us persists in changing device after device.

If you know what light they use I'd be really keen to try it!
[Galaxy S6 General] gtg465x:
I've done it! I got a perfect device. Ordered a second because of a loose home button and the new one has it all... Solid home button, no dead pixels, no pink tint, no scratches. So perfect devices do exist. And oddly, I got two perfect screens in a row. Wouldn't think that was possible after reading this thread.
[Galaxy S6 General] kishin14:
This is how my replacement turned out. Like I said before, it's still there but not as bad on the replacement and good enough to not try my luck again. The difference between the two is actually better than what the pics show. Regardless, I hope you have better luck:

I'd like to know the same.

I got mine off ebayz from someone who was just selling on there upgrade. I'm guessing I'd have to go to Samsung direct?

---------- Post added at 06:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:57 AM ----------

I'm not even sure if I have it! Or if its just my eyes! If I do have it, it seems to be when the screen brightness is lower.
[Galaxy S6 General] mcreego:
Every amoled screen has a tint. Every! I've changed about 30 phones with amoled screen and the whites weren't as good as on the lcd panel (some yellow, some pink, other green).

Said so you could see the tint more when you tilt the phone and the brightness is low.

If the tint is uniform you should wait for some kernel developer to implement in his work kcal advanced color control by savoca since on my Note 4 made a miracle for the screen tinting.

:)
[Galaxy S6 General] superleeds27:
This.

The tint seems to become more apparent when i hold it at a certain viewing angle. Sometimes its there, sometimes its not.

When the screen brightness is lower, it looks worse, when the screen is a little brighter, i can't tell.

Im going to hold out for a week or so and use it as a secondary phone, to see if the screen burns in at all. Ill make a decision after that i think.
[Galaxy S6 General] mcreego:
What you mean with "screen burns in at all"?
[Galaxy S6 General] superleeds27:
Normally after a few days to a week usage things start to settle down.

Screen has time to adjust to being used, as does the battery. Sometimes things need to be used before they start to work properly. Although, i have a feeling it's just going to be the same!
[Galaxy S6 General] reubenskelly1992:
True. But I also think it depends what whites look best to you. I personally prefer a brighter white (slight blue tint) to a warm white (yellow tint ) getting my replacement in the next hour. Let's hope it's perfect

---------- Post added at 12:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:49 AM ----------

Right got my replacement s6. So far so good. No loose home button. No dead pixels that I can see so far. The whites are slightly better with very minimum tint. Best thing is the blacks are black throughout the screen. My first one the top 1/3 of the screen was t as bright or came out slightly different colour to the rest. Like if the screen was black the top 1/3 would be more grey. But this wasn't doesn't. I dunno if it's in my head but this one seems better and I'm pleased with it
[Galaxy S6 General] reubenskelly1992:
The whites on my new are Def are lot crisper and nicer. Happy
[Galaxy S6 General] trenzterra:
That's great. Is there still an uneven screen tint or the tint is perfectly uniform?
[Galaxy S6 General] reubenskelly1992:
I'd say ever so slightly uneven but overall things look even. It's only noticeable if I stare at it and really look for it. But much improvement from my first. The whites are lovely not yellow lol
[Galaxy S6 General] kishin14:

[Galaxy S6 General] reubenskelly1992:

[Galaxy S6 General] trenzterra:
Any face down image on white of the new device? Would be great to do a 1:1 comparison from the front.
[Galaxy S6 General] Sumit.K:
After giving it a thought, I decided to get mine replaced since I was only focusing on the issue rather than enjoying the phone (OCD) :P

Over here in India, they issue a Dead on Arrival certificate and I need to take it back to the retailer where I bought it from. Since I am out of town, I may just travel over the weekend to get this replaced or send it along with someone who is traveling. Hope the replacement turns out fine.
[Galaxy S6 General] vienly:
So I went into the o2 store to replace my s6 today, the sales people could see the pink hue/tint on the lower half my screen too.

Luckily they were more than helpful and replaced my device, we opened the new device and checked it there and then.

White screen is completely uniform and no pink hue, I would say this is a perfect device too.

Apparently I was given a new batch, the old one had the IMEI/SN sticker on the plastic protector, the new phone had the sticker stuck on the back of the phone.

More than happy for the exchange, lucky I didn't settle for it as once you see it, you can't unsee it which was my problem! I'm OCD lol
[Galaxy S6 General] superleeds27:
Having bought mine off eBay and having the problem, I've contacted Samsung through the following: CYBER SERVICE CENTER

Registered the product with them and requested a service repair. We'll see what they come back to me with!
[Galaxy S6 General] vienly:
I opened a case with them yesterday and this was their response:

Thank you for contacting Samsung.

I am sorry to hear about the issues with your Samsung device. I feel a

resolution to your query can best be achieved by contacting us on the

[Galaxy S6 General] reubenskelly1992:
Mine had the sticker on the back too. Mines even too on the whole. Ever so slight tint if stare at it for a few minutes lol
[Galaxy S6 General] superleeds27:
Guessing you didn't ring them then? Seller on eBay is suppose to be forwarding on the proof of purchase, contract upgrade details etc. Might be tempted to go into the network store and see if I can get a swap!
[Galaxy S6 General] vienly:
No I didn't ring them, thought I may aswell go back to o2 first to see what they say.

I also emailed Samsung directly and they suggested I go back to store

This is what they said:

"I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing this issue with your newly purchased Galaxy S6. Please be advised that your device comes with a 24 month warranty which becomes active on the date of purchase and covers software and hardware defects. As you have only recently purchased your phone however at this time I would recommend returning to the point of sale to obtain a refund/replacement under the Sale of Goods act. This would avoid the inconvenience of being without your device during the warranty repair period which takes 7-10 days on average and ensures you have a device that is fit for purpose.

I apologise for any inconvenience you have been caused. If you have any further questions or queries then please reply to this

email or contact our help desk on the number below and one of our

[Galaxy S6 General] Hawke84:
got my replacement today. the previous one had half the screen pink, this one is uniform but has the pink tint over all of it. I dont think I would have noticed if I wasnt looking for it, i prefer it to the previous one as the un-uniform tint was more obvious and annoying. just deciding if I want to settle with this one with no other issues or try my luck again....

So my whole left trigger is not working on my Nvidia Shield. I recently noticed this today when I was playing portal and I couldn't place the orange portal which requires the left trigger (large one, small one works fine). I tried rebooting my shield and mapping with it but it doesn't work, it doesn't even detect it. What should I do? :crying:

Check if it's a hardware issue. If it's the hardware, then send it to service or try to repair it yourself, I suppouse.
[Shield Q&A] yackaro:
My back button wasn't working for abouthalf a month. I had to use the B button in its place and not all apps supported that. I sported a shorted headphone jack as well and since I use it as my primary android device and in turn my primary media player, neither of those problems were good. So I flipped it, pulled the screw covers, pulled the screws, yadayada to take it apart, cleaned up all the buttons and the rubber domes under them, cleaned the button board, blew out the L/R sticks and triggers, cleaned the top part of the shell, got down to the mainboard at the headphone jack, pulled my solder pen and remelted the connection joints on that so it would reconnect, slammed it back together, turned it on, bam. Not only did the reflown headphone jack work, but the back button worked as well. to think I only did the button cleaning with sanitary intentions, then fix a button by accident? I'm an accidental genius. #outdatedwarranty
[Android General] Adanclinton:
Oops!!! Today I'm gonna to tell you a good new that I have to share with you all.

ZTE has announced that it is launching the Blade S6 Plus globally, exclusively on eBay. Featuring a 5.5-inch 720p display powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 octa-core chipset, clocked at 1.5gHz, and comes with a LTE radio. The ZTE Blade S6 Plus runs ZTE's customizable MiFavor 3.0 user interface on top of Android 5.0 Lollipop.

The phone is priced at $299.99, or £199.99 and €276.99 for the United Kingdom and Europe, respectively. But now, it is priced at $269.99, $30 off, only one week in The US, £182.99, £17 off, only for 10 days in the UK, €252.99, €24 off, only one week in the Europe.

You don't have to pay the full price if you're eager enough to snatch one up right away.

And I hope it can help those who'er looking forward to owning one.

either carrier will work, but its far easier to get it working with good data speeds on AT&T. Thats what i run on my G900P and i get HSPA+ at around 11 MBPS on average. Let me know if you need any help. Here is the apn settings.

hello guys ,

should i upgrade the bootloader of my k jam , before i upgrade to the final faria ROM WM6 ?

(i had downgraded thr rom as i had an unlocking problem )

my phone boot screen says :

IPL 1.01

SPL 1.01

GSM 01.01.10

OS 1.1.9.3

SIM & CID unlocked

any other cautions ?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Zzan:
Do not flash any custom rom until you flash a 2.xx official carrier rom (Step 17 of the Dr. P unlocking guide.) You will have all sorts of issues. Try either the Cingular 2.25 or T-Mobile 2.26. If you flash a custom 2.xx or higher rom with 1.xx bootloaders your GSM will not work, your phone will not charge and the PDA will be very sluggish.

Hopefully this is the right forum section to post this in... but I have a question.

I'm looking to upgrade my phone from a Samsung GS4 Active to anything with a 64bit cpu. I take it that most of those phones will come with Android 5.0 or higher, but I'm a fan of older versions.

I know plenty about how regular PCs handle 32 bit software on a 64 bit cpu, but I know nothing of how Android and mobile devices handle such a thing, or if older android versions can even be installed on a system with a 64 bit chip. I assume I could install, say, 4.2.2 on a newer phone, but I didn't want to risk bricking such expensive hardware just after purchasing it.

So my question comes down to this: If I buy an android phone with a 64 bit cpu and Android Lollipop, can I downgrade versions somehow, and if so, how would one go about doing it?

I want to get the most out of this trial, learn as much as I can, and hopefully be able to convince myself it's worth the monthly payments.

Where would you recommend I visit for learning photoshop?

YouTube?

Thanks!

You could probably download them, however.

Lifehacker has some good tutorials, as well.

Welcome to the world of Photoshop! :) It's a massive program with a million possibilities, so you'll have plenty to do in it! :) (Photoshop's my job, and I don't even know more than 30% of what's possible.)

Photoshop Creative is probably the best source for beginner guides. I've got about 80 e-magazines and guidebooks from them, if you want I could message you the Dropbox link for the collection guides. They're PDF's, so you can read them in your own time anywhere. :) (Can't directlink to it, rules and such.)

You can also find some of their tutorials here: http://blog.photoshopcreative.co.uk/category/tutorials/

[Off-topic] vanessaem:
Google and YouTube. Both resources gave me a lot of extra pointers. Start out by knowing exactly what you would like to do in the program then take it from there. There's a lot of information out there.

I tried to start a thread about how to do things in graphics programs (including Photoshop) but no one was interested in sharing or learning. ;). Anyway, I'm not an expert at Photoshop by any means but I do use it daily and I'm pretty proficient in it so hopefully I can help.
[Off-topic] Jesse72:
I would suggest getting some lessons from an expert confident user. I find that helped me as I could just ask straightaway when needed, without constantly searching.

Once you have the basics, online guides should suffice.

My helpful hint: Write a glossary/index of the keyboard shortcuts you will commonly use for easy reference and quicker work
[Off-topic] TheRomMistress:
Lots of.googling! If you find yourself wanting to do something, chances are Photoshop can do it. Even more likely is that there is a video about how to do it. I'm a photographer and before finding out about pbotoshop actions I never really cared to learn more than a couple things. But then I downloaded.my first action.set. Out bright my photos to a whole new level. If you are looking to play with PS for photography reasons, I'd definitely recommend looking into actions.
