[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Metallice:
Some a number of things I'd like to share -

After numerous replacements for partially pink or green screens I finally received one that was uniform in color. I mean no screens perfectly uniform in hue, but picking out any color discrepancies would take a lot of effort to see instead of being readily apparent with every glance. Screen isn't perfect though which I'll describe below.

It was the first refurbished replacement I received. Gives me hope that Huawei isn't just boxing up the returns and shipping them back. Although it could be coincidence/luck.

Screen isn't perfect. The left side came 10-15% brighter than the right. Smooth gradient. Makes greys obviously light grey on the right and dark grey on the right. Less annoying than color shifts IMO.

The app Screen Equalizer can be used to create a 90% transparent black to 100% clear right-to-left overlay. Fixes the screen completely. It's how got the 10% brighter figure.

Burn in works to correct the screen. I've been using 2560x1440 left to right gradients I created with GIMP (Photoshop would work) and ElementalX high brightness mode. I made the gradients so they end in black half way instead of all the way across to preserve as much brightness in the middle as possible.

I've reduced the Screen Equalizer settings needed for a uniform screen to 95% transparency. This has taken WEEKS of all night, every night, maximum high brightness mode. Pretty impressive IMO. Burn in takes a good amount of effort/time.

Blue subpixels degrade WAAAAAAY faster than red or green. I knew this ahead of time so I started with a 256 Red 256 Green 128 Blue Color left to right gradient (so a light yellow, max brightness R/G, half brightness Blue) fading to black... And it STILL YELLOWED that side of the screen. Had to correct with a couple night of just Yellow (All red and green, no blue)

TL;DR - refurbished device screen was better than the new devices. No worries there for me. Targeted screen burn in can work to correct non-uniformity, but VERY, VERY, VERY slowly.

Just recieved the gold 6p and upper right is a slight pink, ill keep it. Way better screen then what the nexus 6 had + my nexus 6 had a line issue (rinkles? As someone described somewhere here when looking at a grey background, this one is pristine in terms of that.

Edit: after a first days use the pink has subsided immensely, could be placebo but no its lookin good!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dominatrix:
Should I hope for a better screen?

Got my Nexus 6p from Jet.com and this is how it looks. I can notice this slight pink hue at the top of the screen and a whiter/greener bottom 1/4th of the screen. Should I play the RMA game? Or is this considered one of the better screens?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
I've had eight of these things and in my opinion that's probably on the better end of the scale, I've seen much worse.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B_I_N_G_E:
Has anyone gotten a gold version with better luck regarding the screen discoloration? Those would theoretically be the newest ones right? I just bought a frost and sold my graphite which was about perfect. The new frost one is not too bad but it's worse than the graphite one I had. I wish this phone just had an LCD. I read that the new Nexus would be using amoled again. So again we're going to have to go through this crap.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jockson:
Recently got my 6P. I was dreading the pink uniformity issues and checked the screen thoroughly when the phone arrived. I found NO visible tint at all. Best uniformity of an AMOLED panel I've seen. Actually a lot better than my Note 5 used to be. What a relief! A week later i was browsing Play Store and noticed visible pink tint at both edges of the display. Checking more closely, there's also slight pink tint at the bottom, mostly hidden by nav bar. I thought I was crazy, I knew the display was very, very uniform and now it isn't. Came from work today, noticed the phone was a bit hot to touch because it was exposed to sun in the car. Turned the screen on and there is again no pink discoloration! I have no idea what's going on. Is the temperature somehow causing this, does the phone bend/warp either from temperature changes or when it's hot it bends slighty in the pocket. Either way it's very strange. Anyone noticed their pink tint changing over time?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HappyThoughts:
Still selling the pink monster?

So I just got a 6P from best buy on 8/7 for $399. 64gb aluminum. Build date 3-17-2016

My first Android phone. Was super excited to have the additional flexibility. But last night I noticed this overall amber / yellowish screen and how it changes to a drastically cooler white when slightly turned to one side, up or down. Then I thought something was wrong with my eyes because I saw this pink blotch on the upper left.

Then I found this thread and many others. Damn. I was thinking I would love this thing. I still kind of do but it bothers me when reading from left to right on white backgrounds.

White → Pink

White → Pink

White → Pink

So is there some fix for this of a source that is selling 6Ps with good screens? Should I return to best buy and order from Amazon? What did everyone else end up doing? Do you recommend I just get a 5X?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pato2015:
ive got my first nexus 6p with even pink hue sold it.. bought new one just dec 16 2016 with clear white screen but notice after 4 days used it became yellowish / green even screen... now i exchange it a new unit in the shop with even pink hue... notice big difference , pink hue screen are really more vivid than the green yellow tints:) i can see clearly on 30% brightness setting on a slight pink even hue screen than the yellowish green even ones.. those are kinda dark screen when i compared them both. i kept the slight pink ones. hope did not made a mistake :) web notes are way more punchier and vivid.

I couldn't stand this pink top of the screen. New replacement coming tomorrow from CPW.

Nexus 7 2013

Oneplus one, Nexus 6p
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gekko2:
my whites are a slight blue when i tilt the screen sideways to either side. anyone else see this? i keep my display brightness very low - at like 10%.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wazka2:
Mine were same with slight blue when tilting but that's normal I suppose.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graffixnyc:
Yeah your 6p looks very pinkish compared. Let us know if the replacement is any better
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pecata:
Wow, that looks way to pink....I am seriously considering canceling my preorder....after seeing the display issues and the bend/scratch tests I am really disappointed..I was hoping this device will be premium and better than my Nexus 6 but it looks like it isn't...

After seeing this I feel better about the bend test: https://twitter.com/luckyankit/status/660052058326720513
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkc120:
Yep, RMA'd mine. Here's a picture next to my Nexus 6. I just wish I knew what % of the screens were like the N6 in that picture (uniform tint) vs. those that have pink on parts of the screen.

---------- Post added at 09:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 AM ----------

Yeah I'd exchange it if it bothers you. I noticed on mine before I even finished the phone setup that something was wrong. It's obvious when comparing with my Nexus 6 that the screen isn't uniform.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pecata:
Wow! That looks bad! I can't believe we are plagued with this issue on $600+ device! This is unacceptable... I hope the replacement is better. Good luck!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wazka2:
I am worried that I will have to compromise on something eventually. I think every one of them has some sort of issue :(

Hopefully replacement will be here tomorrow!

I'm waiting to chat with Google Store support now about getting a replacement. I'll update this post to let you guys know how it went (I don't see it being a problem though)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daivee:
I spoke with a rep a few days ago. During our call the rep stated that they would send out a brand new device and that they just needed me to reply to an email they were sending. I replied with the information they requested and shortly received another email saying that we are working on trying to resolve your issue. I have not heard or received anything else regarding them sending me a new device or tracking #.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daivee:
Here's the reply.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graffixnyc:
That's odd. Mine went through without a hitch. I got the email to order the new one before I had finished the chat with him. I did also email pictures though before he sent me the email to order a replacement..

edit: Replacement ships Nov 3rd
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daivee:
Really. Looks like I need to call them again. He told me over the phone to not worry and that they are going to send out a replacement. Only now hearing that yours was processed right away i am starting to worry.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graffixnyc:
It's odd that he also said they would just send a replacement. Usually with the Google Store they send you a link to order a new one. They then put a hold on your card for the full amount of your phone and the hold is removed when they get the defective one back
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daivee:
That is odd. I was told that I had to do nothing on my end and to just reply to the email. Supposedly he also said that I wouldn't be charged. I better get on the phone with Google again.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] just4747:
Pretty sure you will get temp charged again..that's what they told me too.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mediacrave:
I love how everyone is getting replacements before some people even get the device. With all these problems I'm pretty worried about receiving this phone. If I have any issues with this device arriving defective I'm going to call it quits on Android and go back to iPhone. I will miss a lot about Android but at least I will have a device I can rely on.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luciferiusXI:
Sad but true.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graffixnyc:
It's because Google sets aside stock for replacements.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechBSwift:
I have a replacement on the way as well. On the bright side those who haven't received their phones yet will probably get a phone from the second batch and have less issues
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsg411:
I just ordered mine yesterday but theese manufacturing issues people are having are scaring me.. And now after seeing this destructive durability test....im even more worried..

Holy crap! I just got notification my replacement shipped.. wow that was FAST
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deeproot:
Its nice they are sending replacements so fast. I do not notice a pink hue on my unit and this is my first amoled. I did find it more to my liking to turn the picture color use sRBG off in developer options.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] __NBH__:
For the first 48 hours my screen looked good but now it has a slight pink colour on the left hand side of the screen and the right hand side is more of a cooler blue. I rotated the screen and same thing but top/bottom. I am hoping that the screen will settle down as it seemed fine at first. I am about to send off my old phone so if I need to get the 6P replaced I will be without one for a while. Has anyone else seen a similar issue?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istrikerx:
Damn, wish I knew it was gonna be that quick, especially with them being out of stock for people who haven't ordered yet. I didn't go ahead with the replacement on Thursday due to the link saying that I'd be charged full price (even though the google rep failed to explain to me that I would not be charged). Fingers crossed I have one by the end of the week. Either way they wont even refund me until I get the replacement.

The slight pink colour was always there. You just didnt notice it. It's a very common problem with AMOLED screens. That pinkness comes from distortion in the panel itself, as in, the left side of your screen is bent slightly. This causes an area of your screen to be off-angle, similar to if you'd tilt your screen slightly and the hue changes. You can see what I mean by holding it under a bright light. The light will reflect evenly up to a point, and then curve off slightly.

RMA if it bugs you, but you'll have to go through a lot of phones to get a perfect one. All my Note 3/4s had different areas affected to different severities before I just gave up on Samsung. All I can say is, having a left to right unevenness is way better than having it on the top or bottom. Top or bottom, and you'll notice it every single time you scroll on a web page or document/app.

I'll attach a pic of my first Nexus 6P that arrived on 29th October.

I'll also say that the bottom speaker was noticeably quieter and more distorted than the top speaker, which led to uneven sound balancing. Hopefully that's not a common issue either!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magnafides:
There are definite variances in the screens. I thought mine to be extremely pink, but it was actually the least pink out of the three 6Ps that I compared side by side. FWIW the two owners of the other 6Ps didn't seem to really notice that much before we set them side by side, so it varies by person as well.

I did also notice that my screen did seem to have a more extreme pink -> blue hue shift than the other two when tilting the phone.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istrikerx:
Are you talking about the overall screen colour, or just certain areas that are pink?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magnafides:
Overall screen color.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istrikerx:
Ah okay, thanks. At least you'll be able to change that in the future if they add a screen calibration setting (or fixable now if you root). Having the whole thing pink is way better than having just certain areas that colour.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wazka2:
I am very close to give up.

My 3rd Nexus 6p... Guess what? Pink from the bottom! It really annoys me now!

I am back at CPW to order new replacement tomorrow. I did look at Samsung's in store and they were all nice and even... Shame cause everything else is perfect!

But I cannot stand this pink!

I will give it few more goes and if no luck. Return!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] __NBH__:
That picture looks nasty! That's different colours on a dark screen, mine looks ok on dark its just on light backgrounds. No way am I sending my phone back, its not that bad. I shall shut up and enjoy my 6P.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istrikerx:
Yeah it sucks. It's definitely the Note 4 display on the N6P. It's just Samsung selling off old stock to competitors. Why on earth people actually thought that Samsung would sell Huawei/Google their top end panels is beyond me. Loads of stupid tech "journalists" brainwashing people.

Even on white or light grey its very noticeable, I just chose a darker grey to emphasize the horrible screen uniformity.

When you say you can only see the pinkness on light backgrounds, I'm assuming you mean your display has a uniform pink tint across the whole of it, and not just one area like mine (i.e. top half)?

Sorry for the questions, just trying to judge how many of these units have uniformity issues. I've seen a friends phone, and his is spotless, no random pink tints or anything, just the usual green/blue tint from certain angles. Judging by this post and another on the yellow or "warm" colour calibration of the screen, there thankfully seems to be more uniform screens out there than unusable ones.

Even my girlfriend who has barely touched technology in years noticed it from the off, and on her Galaxy S4 the bottom 0.5mm or so was pink, and she noticed that straight away too, along with the banding (last years nexus 6 used the S4 screen tech too, I'm guessing). So it's not just my eyes, or people being OCD or paranoid, its a serious production flaw.

I just wonder if Samsung found a better way to bond the panel to the glass, hence why very few issues appeared in the S6/Edge/Edge+/N5 compared to the Note 3/4/S4/S5 era.

It's quite embarrassing for them that my Note 2 still has a better looking panel than most of their modern screens.

got any pics of what your latest one looks like? I'm trying to determine if mine has the problem or not
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wazka2:
Pictures does not really show. Don't have any decent camera to capture it.

I think you would have noticed it if u had it.

Mine is very noticeable when I go to settings and look at all four corners of the phone, compare white. My case top is nice and warm, bottom cold pink. Same on google now, facebook, xda app etc, all the apps that use light ui. Black is awesome!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] __NBH__:
Just decided to exchange my device as once I noticed the warmer pinky colour at the top left of the screen and a cooler blue towards the bottom right it's started to bug me. I hope the replacement isn't worse as its not terrible but I've had 3 previous phones with an amoled display and never had this problem so thought I should at least try to sort of out.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Infinite Jest:
I received my 64 GB Aluminum yesterday and immediately noticed the bottom 1/4 of the screen has a greener tint compared to a pinker tint over the top 3/4 of the display in addition to the noticeable speaker loudness/fullness issue. I'm going to try one replacement and then probably just return it if the next one has similar issues (I'm fine with slightly tinted, uniform displays, but not this rainbow B.S.; I've dealt with this before). If anyone had uneven tint issues and received a replacement with a uniform white point, let us know! Otherwise I'm going to assume that they all suck.

Current phone: Moto X (2014) 16 GB

Phone in Purgatory: Nexus 6p Aluminum 64 Gb

My Gnex had this issue...I went through 3 of them and just stuck with the one that was "the best of the worst".

Its a "feature" of AMOLED screens, IMHO. They wont all suck but it might be hard to find one you consider perfect.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Infinite Jest:
I have a feeling that this is a Samsung panel problem. I went through like 5 GS3s back in the day, all with varying degrees of this. I'm not sure what manufacturer produced the Moto X displays, but my Moto X 2013 had a uniform color temperature (though the grainy texture of the amoled looked bad) and the Moto X 2014 I had nothing I would consider a quality issue like this (other than being oversaturated and having generally less than desirable calibration and brightness).
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisexv6:
Could be.

Ive also read the rumor that Samsung saves the "good" panels for their own phones (although that doesnt explain why the panels on my Gnex sucked, Samsung built that one too, unless the tech was still too immature)

I have a 32GB N6P sitting at home right now and my 64GB arrives today. Havent opened the 32 yet, because I want the 64....if the screen on the 64 is bad I *might* consider trying the 32 just to see. And if the 32 happens to have the better screen I might just live with the smaller storage capacity.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wazka2:
I have just ordered my 3rd replacement. Should have it tomorrow. I wonder if its going to be OK...
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Infinite Jest:
What is the process? Schedule a customer service call, talk about the defects, request advance return service? Doesn't seem clear from their website.

I started to feel that way as well, but the CSR last night flat out told me "Google's aware there's a problem with some of the screens, and had issues some kind of quality statement to Huawei"..

I really hope new one will be bugs free. Kind of bored replacing it every day ;)

Rep on the phone from CPW told me she can replace my phone but for a different model cause I had 3 and one must have been OK... Surely they don't know and understand. Luckily had no probs ordering replacement in store.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graffixnyc:
I got my replacement.. It's the same if not worse than my current device. I actually think it may be a little worse.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtg465x:
It is indeed a Samsung AMOLED panel problem. I went through 7 (SEVEN!!!) Galaxy S6s trying to get one with a perfect screen and no pink or green hues. These issues have generally gotten worse with Samsung's QHD screens, I'm guessing the sheer number of tiny LEDs in a QHD screen makes it harder than ever for Samsung to make them completely uniform.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prestige2:
I've got my device today and I notice a pink hue in the bottom left, only when the screen is white I can see it otherwise it's ok, idk if I have to replace it or not

Mine is a 64gb alum. built 10/21 and it has the pink hue. RMAing it. I read that it might be the adhesive they use somewhere in the display and that it might just take a few days to cure. This might be the case, but I don't want to wait 10 days with this annoying hue that is driving me nuts.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magnafides:
Decided to submit for RMA, should have the replacement early next week. I'll report back but I'm not hopeful. If the replacement ends up being worse can I just send that back instead?
