[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vector180:
ok having stalled on that front (above post) I tried to root (the spare phone) without kernel using this guide.

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/general/guide-root-unroot-stock-ics-firmware-t1501719

Was very confused by the text

"Download this File first and put in your SDCARD

- MOD EDIT: Links removed as its the unsafe version...

or download zip from http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager

- SU-Busybox-Installer.zip"

took me a while to realise the {File} in question was CWM.ZIP which I didnt find or I did after searching but couldnt determine which version Im after. Throw ontop of that info about rom manager and CWM manager... :eek:

Back to the beginning.....

1) backup the phone, firmware everything etc ye old PC ghost an image :)

From what Ive read to do that I need root?

Maybe Im hitting old how to posts...

couldnt understand/find cwm.zip so I went back to

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/orig-development/30-10-2012-k-la-lp-t1103399

Instructions - ODIN (long)
- Follow these instructions to the letter. Do not touch any buttons or checkboxes that are not listed below to touch!
- Unzip the attached CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.zip
- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer
- Start ODIN
- Click the PDA button, and select CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.tar
- Put your phone in download mode
- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer
- Make sure repartition is NOT checked
- Click the START button
- Wait for the phone to reboot
- Done (if it took you more than 30 seconds, you need practise!)

first hiccup .. there is no PDA button in Odin...did some digging, now called AP..phew

righto did that and everything seemed to work.

Found CWM in applications and ran a system backup (internal SD as my only ext SD is the one in my real phone, full of music n photos and Im just not confident so far to mess with that)

fired up kies with phone connected went to Internal mem file browser and copied, Computer\GT-I9100T\Phone\clockworkmod\backup\2015-10-29.12.04.11orig

to my pc HD..ok that bit works.

so I have a backup but was hoping I could do this without the messing with the Odin and kernel stuff as Im not convinced I understand what I have done.

I dont feel confident applying this process to the real phone.

So the real question is what is this CWM.zip where is it/which one should i be using?

Is the Kaiser Batt and the Hermes battery the same. I just bought a 3000mAh batt for the hermes and I want to know if I should give it with the Hermes when I sell it or if it will work with the Kaiser then I will keep the ext batt for me.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] ben9999imsc:
3000mAh batt ??

is that from htc ??
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] g35driver:
yes and its huge

I would rather have a brick in my pocket instead on the 8525 with the 3000mAh battery
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] wpbear:
I am selling it now though since I just sold my 8525. I bought for $30 plus shipp so I am selling a week old batt for $15 plus ship. Feel free to PM me.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hltbest:
Hey guys, I've recently noticed my nexus 6p has a very warm/yellow feel to it when compared to other devices such as my old HTC one m7!

I did some reading and apparently the nexus 5x has had a massive problem with "yellow screens".

Now am I just being naive as I've never had an AMOLED display before or is there likely to be something wrong?

Also, is it likely to be software related as its affected both the 5x and 6p?

Thanks
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xandlinger:
Mine does not have a yellow tint, not sure about if it is software.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wazka2:
I am coming from Oneplus One. After two days with 6p it does have yellow whites and a bit of pinkish hue when looking straight at it, when tilting it disappears (pink).

Looking back at Oneplus One feels too blue on the other hand :)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sammae7:
Could it be the adaptive display?

I seem to recall the Nexus 6 having various screen issues upon release, too.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wazka2:
I switched adaptive display off and no change so I guess its not that. I think this is its "feature" and we have to live with it ;)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tung_meister:
It's just the way the screen is calibrated. This will be adjustable later on in development I'm sure.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unknown1205:
yea, its how the screen is calibrated. i compared it to my oneplus and the oneplus has a more white color, though a slight blueish tint. the nexus 6p has a more yellow screen.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LuBi:
Loose Part(s) When Tapping on Screen?

Yes. If they don't tweak it, then surely the community will.

On another hand, does anyone have a hollow/loose sound when tapping on the top right quarter of the screen? The sound reminds me of a loose ceramic buttons on a Nexus 5. It feels as if it's behind the screen just right of the speaker but sounds as if it's out the side.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilostmypistons:
Could be the adhesive for attaching the screen... If the yellow goes away after a day or two the adhesive needed to cure. It's happened with other devices
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kyocere:
Put it side by side with my Nexus 6. Apparently the Nexus 6 screen is super yellow, never noticed. The 6P is MUCH whiter. Looks great.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alferboy:
Ask Google if you should return it. I've seen some complains around about yellowish screens. During the reviews one thing that was pointed out was precisely the opposite, with the 6P having a much cooler screen than the 5X, way more to the blue (cool) than to the warm (yellow) whites.

A bit strange you find the opposite.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hltbest:
So its not likely that I need to return the phone?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hltbest:
I bought it from Carphonewarehouse (UK) so I may speak to them!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darfbozo:
Pink not Yellow

Mine's got a pinkish hue at certain angles, but no yellow. Have come from an S4, which has a much whiter screen. Changing to sRGB gets rid of the pink hue but gives ghastly washed out colours instead. Guess we have to wait for some kind of tuning facility.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A2Eric:
I'm very disappointed in the screen calibration. The 6p has the same pixel dimensions as the Nexus 6 with the 6p having slightly more pixels per inch. When I play a youtube video side by side the 6p looks terrible!!! Especially since during the keynote they said they worked really hard to get the colors right on the screen calibration. I hope this can be fixed with a software update. I might be returning mine.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hltbest:
It does seem like the calibration is off compared with my old HTC one m7. However I just compared my 6p to a mates nexus 6 screen and his is a lot more yellow than mine! So that's made me feel a bit better.

Hopefullythis can be fixed on the software side!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graffixnyc:
I too have the pinkish hue but I have come use to this on amoled displays. Every single phone I've had with a amoled display has had a pinkish hue. So either I'm very unlucky and keep getting device after device with a bad screen, or I have eagle eyes and I can see it when others can't.. haha Some times people do not notice it. I think it really has to do with your eyes. If they are sensitive enough to see it. For example. I work for Swappa and me and my co-worker both had the international version of the Droid Turbo(The Moto Maxx) I had asked him if he noticed a pink hue, he said no he did not.. When we met in person I saw it right away. While it wasn't as pronounced as it was on my device, it was still there. He didn't see it.

Last night I was chatting with Derek Ross from phandroid and I showed him a pic of my 6p screen.. I saw pink..he said it looked fine to him.. lol I still might order a replacement just to see if the next one is like that.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hltbest:
I am using a screen filter app now and it seems to fix the screen so I'm pretty happy!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alferboy:
Store bought or online?

I'd go there indeed. If they have stock they should replace it.

Saw below you tuned it with an app (which?) but that may not be a permanent solution.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hltbest:
It's called MOBTI screen filter. I just put it to like 15-19% opacity and only had the blue halfway, a tiny bit or red, no green and it feels a lot better. Obvs its a temp solution, but it shows it can be fixed by software changes!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stackystack:
There's definitely a yellow tint on screens and I think it's not how they are calibrated, if they were calibrated then majority of screens would look like the same. Luckily my first phone had a tiny blemish (along with coffee spilled display), yesterday I got my replacement and this one is much much better. I have attached the pic, both phones are at 100% brightness... You make the guess which one is my replacement.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markwebb:
Stacky: are those screen shots or photos of the screens?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stackystack:
[MENTION=2656331]markwebb[/MENTION] This is an actual picture from Canon EOS. Right one was my original, it was washed out and faded from the get go.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markwebb:
Actually to me the one on right looks whiter though a bit washed out. Left seems to have a very very slight yellow cast but then barely noticeable.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WizeGuyDezignz:
To me as well.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markwebb:
If one on right is original I would keep that and send replacement back. :) But you do what works for you. :)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anglerstock:
Left seems whiter but my guess is that on lower brightness it has the tiny pink hue thingie.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stackystack:
[MENTION=2656331]markwebb[/MENTION] to me left looked whiter :o

[MENTION=7061635]anglerstock[/MENTION] Left seemed whiter to me as well... keeping this one.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subhani:
Thanks for that tip. Using CFLumen, I have pretty much eliminated the yellow hue that is evenly spread perfectly on my display to a less warm, close to my iP6+ display. However:

1. It no longer has those brilliant saturated colors that I missed since my Galaxy SII

2. It seemed to change more dramatically at extreme viewing angles.

But mostly because of 1. I have reverted to stock factory hue. Reds, greens and blues are beautiful on this display and the slightly off white warm tone has actually less glare on the eyes. Not sure if that's just placebo but I embrace my Nexus 6P display and ALL it's qualities/characteristics. I know that if mine was 'defective' like showing different shades and patchy on different parts of the display, I'd defo RMA.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xflowy:
what color scheme did u apply or just by flashing it?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rahulbalmuri:
My brother had the yellow screen tint unit and asked about it by tweeting it to [MENTION=6042445]huaweii[/MENTION]ndia . First they claimed that it is common for all nexus6p units. Later Apologized for the inconvenience and asked for personal details for further inquiry. Check out the screenshots below. Hope this will help for others to replace their units.

Mine is white when looking straight but tilting slightly like 10-15 degrees cause faint blue tint.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jigsaw7:
Did your brother get a new unit? If yes, how's the display?

I got my Nexus 6p few days back and it seems yellow too. :(
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Monotoonn:
Edit
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rahulbalmuri:
Nope. They have contacted him and explained the issue. It's actually a physical coating on the screen to avoid strain on Eyes. Period.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raijin:
Could you explain more about this?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jigsaw7:
Well I went ahead and got my device replaced. The replacement unit had the same yellow tint. Seems it is a 'feature'. The color temperature is kept on the warm side to avoid eye strain. At least the tint is uniform. :p
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rahulbalmuri:
The screen has a physical coating (as in not software tunable or calibrated). It has been done to all the Nexus 6p devices so as to minimize/reduce the strain on Eyes of the consumer. The tint is uniform and not to be worried about. Just enjoy your Nexus 6p and stop worrying about the tint.... :laugh: :good: :D
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
The AMOLED screen should be more like a 'green screen', that is a common issue of OLED screen, because the color gamnut of OLED is much wider than IPS/TFT, but your phone has a warm screen, I think you should check the display settings
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raijin:
Well, I think that sounds like a marketing gimmick. Or maybe that the screen is calibrated to the warm side to reduce the strain on eyes, and the guy that called from Huawei didn't knew how to explain it properly.

Because if you use some software calibration utility like KCAL, you can turn your screen to the cool side.

Thank you for your response.

I think all these complaints about yellow tints are originated in your eyes.

If you take something properly calibrated with a cold white point (7500 K), like a Note 5 (in Adaptative Display calibration mode) and put it next to a cheap LCD with white point at 8000 K, the Note 5 screen will be yellow to your eyes.

If the yellow tint is uniform across the screen, you have a nice screen that you can make look good.

Flash a kernel that supports KCAL (Advanced color control) by savoca. For example ElementalX by flar2, and control the RGB values.

I don't have a colorimeter, so I put my screen next to a properly calibrated device and copied the calibration showing the same screenshots in the two phones.

I like cool colors, so my RGB values are 200 215 256. If you don't, try to add ~20 points to red and green. Your screen could not be the same, maybe my calibration doesn't look right in yours.

I'm sure you'll have a nice screen.

If the yellow/pink/green tint is not uniform across the screen, wait some days from the day you received it (that glue thing is true) and request an RMA.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhruvmalik:
Purchased a Aluminum 64GB, had a pink tint / green spot issue so got a replacement.

Replacement device has NO PINK or GREEN spot issue but is on the warmer side, 1st one wasnt warm.

It also has a VERY SLIGHT yellow tint towards the top half. Overall its uniform but its a VERY slight tint.

Could that be a glue issue or ask for another replacement? If glue issue, how long should one wait for this to settle down.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raijin:
1 week. Maybe less. It depends on the time of use.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhruvmalik:
So I read someone here saying that if you have a UV light or put it in direct sunlight, it will speed up the drying process.

Since I can do a replacement, I took a gamble and put it directly in sunlight for 20 minutes, checked the temp, took it out of the sunlight in a shade (not to cool to quickly which may cause any cracking of glass), then again for 15 minutes, back again then 10 minutes and MAN--O--MAN has it helped.

The spot above has reduced significantly. Dont know if it will continue to do so, but so far I am liking it.

Only thing I miss was that the whites were cooler on my previous N6 and N6p (pink tint and replaced).

Any comments gentlemen?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oraclenerd:
can you please check my phone too

Hello everyone,

I have just purchased this phone and though I have tried so much to see but I couldn't be sure that whether my unit has this yellow tint issue or not. Yes the color of the white is off-white but that's the same with my old Samsung S3 also.. In fact, color of 6P is brighter than S3. OPO is having a far better white overall.

I don't know how to post image here so used this photo sharing site. Please excuse me if it'snot the right way. How can I assume that I am having the correct unit? I can't seem to understand this blue, yellow and green color scheme on the faulty units.

Regards

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkc120:
I'm done with AMOLED. I love the deep blacks, and the power savings but I'm too OCD to own one, I wind up going through 4+ in search of the elusive uniform screen unicorn. Unfortunately I don't see the "phablet" Nexus ever going back to LCD.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkouk:
The last phone I owned with an AMOLED screen was the Galaxy Nexus and I forgot how poor in they are in terms of consistency and colour accuracy. Also the burn in becomes an issue after s year of normal use, I remember the nav bar buttons became permanent part of the fixture and I send it for screen replacement as part of the warranty.

3 years on and I forgot all of the above and went for the Nexus 6P and the same issues are still there.

What I can't understand is how all reviewers do not see those issues? The theory of the devices are hand picked does not stand...there are reviewers out there who they bought the decide directly from the store rather than sent by Google.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Salim Zhulkhrni:
same reason given.. I guess we have to settle with this :)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scorpdroid116:
Today I was at a Store and tried to find something out !

I compared my Nexus 6p to all Amoled Displays and some IPS.

Compared to S6, Note, Edge, etc...the display was most times whiter ! Some S6 Edge have been much darker...and were like brown!!!

Some similar and some G Notes were maybe a bight brighter and some had a little better white.

So the difference in Amoled displays wasnt really huge, but when I compared it to the IPS panels, it seemed always like yellow !! So im pretty sure, its the way Amoled is and there is no defect.

Sony Z5 for example seemed to have great whites, but after some time it tended to be that it has a blue tint, like all IPS displays.

I will stick with mine because compared to the Amoled mine was one of the best in the store.﻿

P.S.

I had also a pinkish/green hue at the beginning which dissaperd after about 1 Werk of heavy use.

Now its more uniform...I tried a app called screen balance which made a perfect white to my eyes, but compared to other Amoled the screen was a bit blueish then.

Maybe the warmer tint is just the better white ?!?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkc120:
No offense, but the uneven tint isn't going to magically disappear. Maybe you're more used to it, but the partial pink tint isn't something that just fixes itself.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingzero666:
hey,

i finally got my new nexus 6p. first i noticed was the yellow-ish tint. compared to my oneplus one it really looks more yellow. i can get used to that. however whats really bothering me are the terrible viewing angles. if i tilt the phone just slightly the screen starts getting blue-ish. i am talking like 10°. only if look straight at the display it looks fine. is that normal or do i have a bad screen?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkc120:
Yep, the viewing angle is horrible on the 6P.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feeq13:
Just received my 6p yesterday. Man, this screen is yellowish/pinkish. Viewing angle is super bad. Tried few app on play store but the the different color on screen and nav bar hurt my eyes. Hope it will get better in days
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkouk:
It will not. The pink hue has nothing to do with glue or anything that will disappear with regular use.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BirchBarlow:
Well I just opened my Nexus 6P today and I have to say the screen is yellower than Homer Simpson. It's like night and day compared to the screen on my Nexus 5.I don't know if it has to do with the glue or it's just amoled, but if it doesn't get any better given a few days, the phone is going back for a refund (I'm not playing the yellow screen lottery). Simply unacceptable for a phone that's over $500.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
If you guys read the anandtech review, our screen may seem yellow, but that is a properly calibrated 6500 screen white. The Samsung which looks white are actually too blue. This screen is deliberately calibrated this way and exchanging it will never fix it. Could always use a custom kernel and change the color profile though. I am liking the screen calibration though.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jabbermacy:
You must be looking thru an ocean of pot smoke because mine is fantastic.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkc120:
I've personally held 5 different 6Ps, all were the same. I guess you are somehow able to ignore or dismiss it, but looking at a white screen, barely any tilt along the vertical axis causes an immediate blue tint. It's way, wat worse on the 6P than the N6, which I held side-by-side to compare.

You can pretend it's not there all you want, but you're either half blind or just fooling yourself.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hanano17:
People saying its a coating or that its glue, have an real proof? This seems to be a common response for amoled screen issues, and its just never been the case in my experience. The only way the uniform pink or yellow ever changed was with root + a kernel that supported rgb tuning....and even then, the results were mixed (for me anyway).

As for pink/yellow/green spots, look at any Samsung phone forum here, ALL their phones have issues. I've personally exchanged 4 galaxy S6's before giving up and settling on one that had a slight green tint at the bottom. Not because a "perfect" panel doesn't exist, but because I got tired of the process. Whether the 6P uses the N4 or N5 panel is irrelevant, as both will have this issue. Maybe it's less common on the N5, but I'd bet there's at least 1-2 threads in the N5 forum with issues as well.

With that said, I ordered 2 6Ps, the 2nd one I only ordered cause I got a CC with a $150 cash back off, so my intent was to return the first one. Got them 2 days apart, put them side by side and with my S6. The first one was almost as bright as my S6, and almost the same color reproduction. The 2nd one, has a very slight pink uniform hue. Anyway, called google to try to swap the 1st one with the 2nd one and return the 2nd, but they wouldn't let me because they can't swap the phones and CC infos around, which I figured. So sent the 1st one back, and they barely asked me about the pink hue and ordered me a replacement for the 2nd, which gets here next week. Now I know, its a calibration issue (probably), but they offered to replace it, so I said why not. They even said something like, "You don't like the way the 2nd one is calibrated, correct? Okay, we will send a replacement." lol

Most people won't notice or see an issue, even if its there because most people either don't care or don't know to look for it....but for the people who come to xda, we look and once we see it, we can't unsee it unfortunately. If you don't think you can deal with it, RMA or return it...no point an asking if we think you are crazy or if its worth living with, its your money and your eyes. Sorry for the novel length post lol
