[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raistlin1:
I haven't noticed any pink hue on my screen, but I do notice that it changes color when you tilt it very slightly to the left/right or up/down. I believe this is what everyone is referring to when they say the viewing angles are horrible on this device. The color goes from white to a blueish or greenish white (a bit darker color as well). Is this normal for this screen/device?

I also notice that maybe, just slightly, the bottom of my screen is a slightly different shade than the top. This could be my imagination or could be viewing angles.

Where do you find the build date? I looked on the stickers on the box and I did not notice a build date like the 5X has on its box.

Thanks

*Of course now that I look at my phone on a complete white background top portion seems a little pinkish. I have one of those screen checker apps that shows different colored solid backgrounds and the first all white background the top portion is darker/pinker than bottom. But all the solid color backgrounds screen is perfect.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NateK:
To find your build date: boot into the Bootloader [Power Off, then Hold Power+Volume Down]. Volume up to barcodes and press power to select.

The screen tinting is not from viewing angles. AMOLED panels are just very inconsistent.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raistlin1:
Thanks, mine has a build date of 10/31/15. The screen issue is a little troubling but not horrible. Sometimes I feel like I notice and others I think I am crazy because I can't.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Metallice:
This is so tiring. Clearly second rate displays. Gone through a few RMAs. I should give up, but I really don't want to. I really do like the phone. I mean am I crazy for not being okay with this? Pretty much how they all have been. Some left right, some bottom top, some top bottom... sigh.

BTW the Google rep on the phone said it looked completely uniform and white from these pictures, but was nice enough to let me RMA anyway. Maybe I am crazy.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WizeGuyDezignz:
How come the Note 5 display looks better then?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Metallice:
Because it is. I have a S6 edge. It's just a better display.

Also, I know from the S6 edge there was a similar issue with partially pink displays. I had to return one (or maybe 2?) before receiving a good, uniform display.

I've also looked into the S6 edge plus and Note 5 forums. Comparatively very little discussion about non-uniform displays where the S6 threads were a hundred+ pages long. My buddy got an S6 edge+. First one - perfect, actually 100% uniform, brilliant display. I checked. Very closely. It looks like Samsung tightened quality control and is doing something else with those non-uniform displays.

I have a good guess where they went.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NateK:
I've now had 6 6P's and I'm tired of it. I've decided to keep #5 as it's fairly good. I was able to tune things to hide the pink/yellow to an extent with a custom kernel. Still bugs me, but maybe if I just move on and enjoy the phone it'll stop bothering me.

I love everything else about the device, so I guess this is just something I'll need to live with.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fikide:
Which screen best for your eyes? At the right side 32Gb with ElementalX Kernel 1 month old phone. At left new 64Gb with everything stock. I need to decide today which phone i will keep.

My first choice is 64Gb, but if you think its partially pink. Then I will decide to 32Gb.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkouk:
The one on the left looks slightly better but I'm only seeing the image on my 6p so its screen may be lying.

Try a screenshot with the quick toggles drawer pulled down. I've found that if the screen has pink/yellow tint issues it is a lot more evident on dark grey colours.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NateK:
I'd take the left. It's partially pink, but if you load up ElementalX and tune down the Red, it may make a huge difference.

Damn Hauwei/Google/Samsung and their rainbow screens!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dramake:
Better the one at the left, right?

It's funny because dark colors seem way better at the one on the right (this picture is not very good so it's impossible to see, but the notification bar and settings title bar backgrounds look way darker on the right one), but that pink tint on white is so annoying..
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BTT8:
So we are still getting rma phones with builds from October?? It's basically January now. They should have had time to fix this crap. I'm still waiting out to rma my phone in hopes of getting a newer build. I've got the aluminum one which came with micro dents on the side of the phone, uneven speakers, and slight pinkish hue on top of the screen..
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Casimov:
Hey, can anyone tell me what app this is? Im on my 3rd 6P.

My first two were with my carrier, had pink tints and other bull**** defects, so after exchanging it once, I returned it a second time and just got my money back.

I then went directly to Google and bought my phone.

This third one is VERY slightly pink near the top. I think thats the best Im going to get, so Im just going to live with it for awhile until I feel like RMAing it before warranty is up.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fikide:
Thanks guys, I also decide to keep left. I hope I never regret about that. :)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hanano17:
Never said the Note 5's display wasn't better, it may very well be. Looking better is subjective, and is also usually optimization or calibration. That's on Huawei and Google. I'm sure Samsung does their own tweaking as far as that's concerned for their own phones. An example is the Note/Galaxy phones brightness levels are much higher than the 6P.

What I was referring to, is issues with the display. Defects or malfunctions. Whether they are less symptomatic on the Note 5 or not, doesn't mean they don't suffer from the same pink/yellow/green spots. Just doing a quick google search pops a reddit about people with the Note 5 having the issue, xda isn't the be all, end all of where people complain about issues. But it can be found on the forums here, admittedly more prevalent in S6/S6 edge and previous models versus the Note 5 here.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barsky:
Ordered mine through project fi. on Dec 29. Got it the next day., I seem to have the half and half.

Does anyone know if they are sending out New phones for replacements, vs refurbs? Are they cross shipping so I can compare the replacement's screen to the original and send back the one that is worse?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Metallice:
Still new. Although I think google will always send new if you return/replace within the 14 day no-questions asked return window. After 14 days they can send refurbs. Don't quote me on that.

They do send you the new one first and then expect the old back. You could send either back, but if you do send the new one, the IMEI on the device and the label they send won't match, and it will seriously delay getting the hold taken off your credit card. Hopefully they eventually figure it out, but there's a chance you'd end up having to call and get it sorted.

Although honestly if you're RMAing over the partially pink screen issue, I'm not sure it's worth it over just returning it. I've had five or maybe more. All half and half gradients. I think perfect or at least acceptable(IMO) screens are 1/20 at best. Most people literally can't see the color difference or just don't care.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barsky:
Thanks for the good info.

Not sure what this means please explain? (acceptable(IMO) screens are 1/20 at best.).

When was your most recent on manufactured? I would either do this asap or closer to my 14 days, hoping to get a later production run with hope of it being better.

Honestly, mine is not soo bad that I would dump out of the phone entirely. But, I see no downside to trying another one....or two. I think I may set up a replacement tomorrow. Hopefully they ship them fast so I could do it again in my 14 day period :D
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Metallice:
Anywhere from 10/30 to 11/21. It wasn't like the new ones were better in any way.

I was suggesting that at best only 5% of 6Ps have a uniform or close to uniform screen. But that was only a guess. I wouldn't expect screen uniformity to improve in later manufacturing dates. This isn't really a problem as 99% of people can't see the discoloration or don't care. Why improve when there's no reason too?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barsky:
I agree. I also don't often have my screen brightness above 55% and it isn't as noticeable (unless in sunlight). But, no reason not to try. Doesn't cost me anything.

I prefer IPS LCD over amoled, tbh.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Metallice:
Huh. It's usually the opposite for me. Less noticeable with higher brightness.

I used to be a big fan of AMOLED. Not any more I guess. If I could take the display off my Nexus 9 and shrink it onto the 6P I'd do it in a heartbeat.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barsky:
I'll have to look again tomorrow in the daylight and a less, ahem, impaired state.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michael Ilie:
Sadly..mine is the same
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barsky:
Working on a return via email support now. Maybe I should have done chat. At any rate, they asked for a screenshot. That showed nothing really. Then they asked if I had another camera to take a picture with. THat one looks horrible with tint :)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WizeGuyDezignz:
For the 1+ month of owning it, I thought my 6P screen was pretty much perfect. While it didn't look as good as my Note 5 screen and didn't get bright enough in sunlight, I was generally happy with it.

That was until other issues led me to get an LG V10 to replace it. I made the mistake of putting the phones next to each other and I was shocked at how pink and dingy the whites and light colors looked compared to the V10. It was sad almost.

Moral of the story, if you are happy with your screen and it works for you, don't go looking for issues. Because you will most likely find them.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barsky:
My worry there is LG's quality control and support. I had the g2, g3, g4, so I noticed the difference immediately. But, a lot of it is the difference between LG's IPS LCD and N6p's Amoled. I prefer the former.

As to LG, well, my phone got bricked to the base qhub level on an update and I had to send it in to the for repair. Initially thought, great , I have my repaired phone back 8 days later. But then I found out something that LG is doing completely breaks the H811's (G4, TMO, US) ability to be sim unlocked. Tmo can't fix this. Others with this model are experiencing the same issue. The Device Unlock app says it is not recognized by the carrier. At least one guy got his phone replaced, which is the only known fix. Thus far they have blown me off and won't do a thing about it.

And this is why I bought a Nexus 6p :)

Also, not a fan of the v10, personally, but that doesn't matter :D

OK, now I need to call them to work on troubleshooting. I really thought this replacement would have gone a lot quicker and easier, given I am within 14 day return period. Not quite annoyed yet, but getting closer :) OK. I am on my 3rd tech (shift changes or something) and he doesn't know why the previous person wanted me to call hardware support. "The phone has tint or doesn't", so I believe my faith is restored and I will probably have another out to be before long :)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hanano17:
I have the complete opposite experience as you are having. I ordered 1 and then saw an ad for a CC that allowed you to get $150 back on $500 spent in the first 3 months, so I got that CC and ordered another. I got them about 2 days apart, both screens were uniform, however the 2nd one had a slight pink hue. Google couldn't/wouldn't let me swap the 2, so I had to return the first one and then they transferred me to tech support and then just did a buyers remorse return and sent me a new one. Third one has no pink hue that I can see, and is uniform. But for whatever reason, their support gave me no problems and didn't ask for proof or anything. Maybe just order a new one and return the one you got straight up...as long as you're in your return window, they can't do much to stop you.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barsky:
Well, I wasn't sure how the buyers remorse would work for me since the $50 deal off I bought it for last week has ended.

Just got my instructions from the support gent. Ordered the replacement for $0.00. It came with an rma attachment as well as a shipping label attachment.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WizeGuyDezignz:
I don't want to burst your bubble or sound negative, but Huawei isn't exactly known to build high end quality devices. I'm not saying the 6P is trash, but that risk could be there down the line.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barsky:
I fully understand. But thus far they haven't screwed me around like LG :)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Casimov:
Hey guys, I messaged Google support about the pink screen issue.

This is my device, at the lowest possible brightness, next to a Nexus 7 (2013), also at the lowest brightness.

Clearly my Nexus 6P is pinker than the LCD display on the Nexus 7.

Interestingly though, it is NOT this pink to the human eye.

In fact, it is more of a tinge of yellow than pink.

Still, does seem to be a noticeable "non-white" tint to the phone.

And the pink is a lot more uniform than another device I bought from my carrier.

I think I'll change the screen colour calibration to match the white balance of my Nexus 7, and then use that.

What do you guys think?

Remember, this is the phone on the lowest brightness setting.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NateK:
It looks like your phone is uniform - YAY! Also, a slight yellowish tint appears to be normal from what I've seen/heard. Hauwei claims it's to make the phone easier on your eyes with less strain than bluish whites.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android4life92:
You can tweak the colours and yellow Ness with a custom Rom and kcal
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barsky:
Got my replacement today. Need to look at it and compare to original more after it grabs thr 6.0.1 update, but it seems like this one is pinker but may be more uniform across the screen. Original was somewhat half and hlaf.

Both manufacturer 11.11.2015

Decision made. the replacement may be a little pinker, but I am not noticing the half and hlaf, so I will keep the replacement :D
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrenalinemotion:
Thoughts on these two screens? Sorry for the low quality, old digital camera pictures.

I can immediately spot a difference in the gray color at the top of both screens.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barsky:
it looks like the one I just replaced
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrenalinemotion:
Which one?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barsky:
On the left. Split screen down the middle tinted differently on each side
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrenalinemotion:
Never noticed that. Could just be the camera. Thoughts on the one on the right? The left one is my original, I've had it for about a month. I always thought I got a perfect screen with that one, but now that it's next to the new one (on the right), the screen almost looks a little on the warm/yellow side.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barsky:
To me the new one looks more even. my replacement seems a little pinker, but it is more even across the screen.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Casimov:
Just wanted to update.

Although my screen looks a lot more uniform than most of the ones in this thread, I still decided to return it for a refund.

I could still easily notice the areas on the screen that were tinted and inconsistent. I even did a blind test, where I turned off all the lights, put the photo on a white background, closed my eyes, and had my girlfriend spin the phone so I'd have no idea which orientation the screen was in. Without fail, I was able to perfectly guess, everytime, which orientation the phone was in, just by looking at the screen tints. If this was a perfect display, then that should not be possible. I even tried it with my old Nexus 5, couldn't do it, because the screen was completely uniform, unlike my Nexus 6P.

Im really disappointed. I love the phone, its just that the screen is ****ing terrible.

I honestly suspect Samsung has been giving Google/Huawei the screens that weren't up to standard for Samsung devices, as an easy way to get rid of them.

Guess Im going back to my Nexus 5 for now.

I'll probably wait a couple months, and see what my options of upgrading are.

I wont even consider buying another Nexus 6P until its VERY clear to me that Google/Huawei/Samsung has done away with these inconsistent screens. And even then, there will probably be newer, better phones available to me that wont give me eyesores.

Overall, extremely disappointed with the new Nexus 6P.

As great as the phone is, I cant overlook the glaring screen issues.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android4life92:
That's not the problem . Samsung have bad quality control on there own screens. Took me about 4 Samsung S6 to get one that was uniform and didn't have pink or yellow tints. There was actually more threads about the S6 and s6 edge screens being tinted and with hues than the nexus 6p
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barsky:
So, I'm not sure yet, but it seems like my replacement drains battery faster and charges slower. My original was charging as fast as 3150mA. Now I seem to be topping out at 2500mA.

Is this possible? I will have to run down my battery and see the charge speed at a low level to make sure it is going full speed.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synplex:

Sorry for the Bands on the screen, Shot on a high speed setting :rolleyes:
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android4life92:
They both look pretty uniform though. I think they all have a pink tint
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synplex:
They do, but some are clearly worse (pinker) than others. :eek:

I'm on my 4th RMA :mad: (Some returned because of other issues), and I can tell you that 2 were Very pink (not even throughout) and the other 2 would slightly pink but uniformed throughout the screen. I can deal with Slight pink, but i'll admit I'm pretty sensitive to the "Pink tint/warm color" issue since I work with graphics and digital photography all day and I color correct professionally all night :(
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android4life92:
I feel ya mines just slightly pink and mostly uniform. I went through 4 s6 phones before getting decent whites. But I think because I've had an s6 and all my tabs have been amoled screens. So I didn't expect perfect whites . if helps . it can get really obsessive
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hellopeeple:
Newbie here - 32GB Aluminium 6P, built 19/12/15 and it has pink towards the top left and yellow/blue towards the bottom right. Checked 3 devices at CPW and all displays were identical. Let's not forget they were built in the same batch though. I'm just shocked that it still hasn't been fixed.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gorgtech:
All screens seem to have this issue, maybe there is nothing you can do about ? My screen shows some sort of "rainbow effect" if you look from different angles. Well, I can live with that since at least I don´t have any faulty pixels. I think that all screens might settle sooner or later. Now you know why Samsung gave these screens away and kept the better ones for their own devices ?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hellopeeple:
How long have you had yours? Just trying to see if there's any truth to the whole "cure the adhesive"...
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lettuce!:
The right edge of my screen, about 15mm in, is more pink than the rest of it, particularly noticeable on grey screens like Chrome with no tabs open, and all Messenger screens. I'm really undecided what to do. Don't know if I want the hassle of getting replacements and having to set the phone up all over again, just to have the same problem or a worse screen.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hellopeeple:
Yep, same thing I'm experiencing. I'm going to ring Huawei shortly to see if they've acknowledged it and are working on newer batches. If the answer is a no then I'm sadly going to get a refund. Such a great device only ruined by this :(
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hellopeeple:
I have spoken to Huawei UK and I can confirm that they've NOT had any official statements regarding this issue and so I personally don't expect to receive a perfect display from them any time soon. They said they've logged my comments as feedback but the engineer I spoke with claimed that he'd not heard of the issue nor had anyone else complained about it. I'm going to exchange it from CPW once more and then go for a full refund if that device is also found to be imperfect.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synplex:
New RMA came in today and unfortunately it also has a Pink Hue/tint issue, but its worse than my previous phone. The whole right half of the screen is pink and the left half is blueish :(

It's so bad, but the top right comer is the worse part by far, damn these defective "Uneven" screens! :eek:

128GB Frost

Build Date 10-25-2015

Anyone have a 128gb model built on a newer date??
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raistlin1:
I just got a replacement yesterday and the same exact issue as yours, right side of screen is darker/pinkish then the left but the bottom right is the worst spot on mine.

My original device is darker/pinkish on the top half of the screen vs the bottom but it isn't extremely bad. Worst on grey backgrounds and some but not all white backgrounds.

Interesting enough the pull down grey/black background is a different shade on these two devices.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Schl1ngel:
I've already had 4 devices and all of them had ****ty screens. So I think it is not even worth exchanging multiple times.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synplex:
I agree at this point. I'm gonna just gonna stick with my 3r, not the 4th RMA, and deal with it.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikespe:
WOW my new 6P is on it's way to me via FedEx and you guys are having me second guess my purchase! I just had it out with Google's customer service over another issue and reading all these comments is making me wonder about this phone. You guys are more generous than I giving Google more chances...after the issues I had with CS if my Nexus 6P has this hue it's being returned and I'm heading to the Apple Store.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synplex:
The Device is just that GOOD! :) I'm willing to deal with a slight "Even" Hue issue, because my 6P blows my Lg G4 and Note 5 out of the water with Battery life and Performance
