How bad was it and how long it took unit it started to fade?

EDIT: My 10 is two days old, seems I can see the improvement on this too, already today yellow seems so bleak.

EDIT 2: Yellow cast is almost impossible to see. Day 3
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] androidfeen809:
Galaxys are worst. My cousin had her 3rd replacement and just gave up with the galaxy s7 edge it has huge black pixel showing on the screen. Its not the phone its the lcd, amoled manufactures
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] errikosd:
Personally, I got a fourth one. There is a slight yellow tint at the bottom, again. However, after four different phones with various manufacturing dates, I have come to the conclusion that that's the best I will get.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] androidfeen809:
Wow very unfortunate. I had 2 htc 10 and the first one had no problem at all. I gave it away as a gift and got a new one, then got a second one for myself and only thing its got is a very tiny unnoticeable black pixel around the upper right of the screen thats it. I will not exchange it for that I cant even see it. I notice because I was looking for dead pixels and it really took me months to find it lol
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] voolandis:
I'd like to state that after 4 days yellow cast on my 10 has gone. Completely.

Tianma panel.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] errikosd:
Mine seems to get better over time too. I have also noticed that sometimes it's more apparent, while other times it isn't. :rolleyes:
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] voolandis:
I got my phone few days ago, but before buying I was reading this forum, just so I know what to expect. So, since I was getting the device from other country (much, much cheaper than here, almost 200$), I had to tell my girlfriend (she was going on business trip there, so she would buy it for me) to pay attention to a couple of details that might compromise the quality of device, such as pinkish cast, rattling and creaking of the housing etc...

She brought the device home next day and all I could see was this yellow thing on the bottom of the screen. It was so disappointing, and she swears she can't see it :D But, day after day it started to fade, probably as the screen itself was working... I don't know how, but it is gone now baby! :laugh::good:
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] errikosd:
Haha I have the exact same issue with my girlfriend. She just doesn't see it! But I do. :silly:
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] voolandis:
But they can spot blonde hair on your coat from mile away :D
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] aknotts415:
they're going to regret treating customers like this in the end. I might just get the s7 edge and return this one. I dont feel like playing a lottery on screens lol and getting jerked around on shipping costs and returning and reordering. They should be sending a replacement and giving you a return label. They didn't even give you a return label?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] joshuadjohnson22:
well my thought is they will tomorrow after I get my new one. I'll let you know if they do. I didn't want to send it back in until after I have the new one and confirmed it doesn't have the same issues
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] aknotts415:
if your new one has the same issues what will you do?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] joshuadjohnson22:
Not sure lol, I like the phone a lot but I'm not in love with it. If it has a nice screen I'll keep it if it doesn't I will wait for other phones. Really the only things I don't like about the 6P is the size and amoled screen. I really wish it was a little smaller. It's going to be a hard choice but judging by the small amount of people complaining about our specific issue I think there is a good chance the new phone will be better. The pink issue I know goes away so I'm not worried about that but this issue seems like a defect. So hopefully tomorrow will bring some good news. I really hate samsung devices so the s7/s7 edge is not even an option.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] aknotts415:
Makes sense lol I kinda like amoled better I think. The power saving feature with blacks is a nice touch. But I understand people that use GPS alot have to worry about burnin.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] joshuadjohnson22:
Yeah, burn in is a huge fear for me and it just looks cartoonish. I mean sure you can adjust it with a custom kernel but idk. I just don't like the samsung skin, if there was a google edition of the S7 Edge I would probably buy it day 1, but not with their stuff on it.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] aknotts415:
i dont think it looks cartoonish. If you dont like that saturation you can put the color profile on basic. The themeing on Samsung has really come a long way from my S4. Themes actually theme everything and I mean everything lol. But not much you can do with burnin. I have no burnin on my 2 year old s4.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] joshuadjohnson22:
To me it does ;) but yeah the S4 I sold about a year ago had horrible burn in for basic use not even from gps or anything... it was horrible. Yes it has come a long way. I love LCDs.. not all but most of them are just beautiful. I use the One m7 for work and that screen is awesome, my G2 screen is probably my favorite
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] aknotts415:
So Just asked for them to pay for the return label on the defect screen phone and to upgrade my new order to next day business like I originally paid for and they wont. Which is a joke. They should have to pay next business day, its not my fault its faulty.

Now they say this

?Ok lets do this with this phone, I want to give you the best option for you, So let me escalate this case to the Developers Department they can investigate more deeper on this issue and may be we can find a solution without having to return or place a new order that i think is more complicated for you."

I dont even know what that means.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] joshuadjohnson22:
haha whattt, it'd be better just buying the new one and returning the old one. I'd say get it one exchange and see how it goes. That's probably all I will give them, one chance to make it right
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] aknotts415:
Idk but I paid for next business day for $9 on my original order and I better get it on this one. They need to act like they messed up. I shouldnt be punished because its got a defect.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] aknotts415:
Now told this when I asked how this will really help me because the phone is stock and its a hardware defect not software....

"Well we are gonna investigate because we don't want that this becomes a huge issue with this phone."

They also just asked me my carrier.....This guy has no idea whats going on. My screen is yellow at the bottom...How does any of this matter?

I feel like a test case lol...
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] joshuadjohnson22:
lol just call them, If they are giving you the run around I would call and ask them the same thing. I'm sure you will have a different response
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] aknotts415:
Idk just getting tired of HTC's customer service its so bad. Who does returns like this? lol Please return and Make a new order?...lol
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] joshuadjohnson22:
yeah it is lame but hopefully once you get a good device you'll never have to contact them again.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] aknotts415:
They just told me that hopefully someone contacts you by the end of the week and this is resolved. lol. I feel worse off than before. Idk if I want to reorder or not now. I'm not losing out on my shipping cost again and again for this. If your phone has a defect you shouldnt have to pay shipping again at all plain and simple.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] joshuadjohnson22:
yeah, I really hope the HTC nexus is nice, I'd be so happy having HTC quality but google support
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] aknotts415:
Also why should I trust them with another $630 on a new order and wait on a refund on my old order, ill have $1,200 tied up with their joke of customer service who cant even handle a defect phone right... :\
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] joshuadjohnson22:
right but one thing I have seen is they are good at refunding orders. If not you can open a dispute with the CC. But it sounds like you have made up your mind. Enjoy the S7! :)
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] aknotts415:
I havent. Just makes you not feel good about the whole experience with HTC. I love the phone. Its just not pleasant. lol
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Simpody:
I have it too. Irritates the life outta me. Tried adjusting the brightness. Making colour warmer etc but no luck. Can still see it. Reminds me of the One X days. My partners is fine and screen looks totally different on same brightness and colour setting
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] joshuadjohnson22:
It is so irritating. I'm looking forward to getting mine tomorrow.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Nitemare3219:
I also have a bit of yellow at the bottom but only notice it when I look for it.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] daffie:
Still undecided about the 10...I really like the near-stock Android experience and feel of the phone, but the screen quality is a real let-off imo.

I have the yellow/brown tint on bottom of the screen, and whites are rather pinkish (RGB mode, 1-2 tints warmer). I also find the screen colors not too pleasant (rather 'dull' or washed-out) and (especially looking at whites) you can clearly see some sort of crystal-effect. Difficult to explain, but I'm sure some of you have noticed this as well.

For now I'm sticking with my S7...screen quality is excellent (altough just a bit on the greenish side).
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] rowbaggie22:
Anyone had my problem web I was using the fone a pop up came on saying its disabled touch Cuz something an app is dim the screen for security reasons
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Nitemare3219:
Glad someone else saw this as well. Compared to my 6P, the whites of the 10 are way too reddish pink no matter what setting is used. But how much you perceive this really depends on the lighting you're viewing in. I noticed that when indoors under fluorescent lighting, the 10's whites looks gorgeous... that kind of "pure," cool white a lot of people like. But in a dark environment, the red/pink is evident if you have noticed it and know what you're looking at.

I don't mind the color saturation. I don't prefer a true sRGB setting, and I also don't prefer super saturated... somewhere in-between, and the 10 nicely fits into that.

Can't beat the contrast and viewing angles of an OLED though, and that's a big deal on a display.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] joshuadjohnson22:
yeah I hope a sharp panel will be different...
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Simpody:
You'll have to let me know what the replacement is like
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] joshuadjohnson22:
Well my replacement has the same panel. It does appear to be better over all though but since I'm starting over with the pink hue only time will tell. Once I get it set up and use it a lot I'll be able to report better. However it looks like it is a better built unit than my first one.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Dan37tz:
My carbon HTC 10 had this issue and I noticed it right away when I was setting it up. After playing with the phone for a few days, I liked it but didn't love it so back it went. I might have kept it if the screen was perfect because my whites were great and the colors looked about perfect, just the bottom piss yellow section of the screen really bothered me. Reminds me of my One Plus One days..where I tried to put it under UV to try and cure the glue...

Waiting tomorrow for T-Mobile to carry it and I'll be getting a Glacier Silver this time around because that's all T-Mobile will carry, also returns are much easier and painless if I get another defective screen with them. On a side note, I'm using a G5 as my daily right now that is FANTASTIC lol, very underrated phone..going to be hard to give it up...if I do at all.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] RenzokukenXDA:
I havent received my 10 yet and this is got me a bit nervous lol

Can you please explain to me what I could expect with the screens? Is it either Im gonma get a pinkish or a yellowish screen?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] vancecwtan:
The pinkish screen is not a defect. It is due to the glue between the screen and the glass, will cure over time and you will get better colour and brightness.

The yellow tint from the bottom is a defect.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] dottat:
Don't see yourself up like that lol.

My display is perfectly fine. Remember you will be reading stories of folks who got unlucky phones at launch.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] emrug:
HTC 10 is cool, they're just unlucky.

Mine is extremely perfect too, been with it for over a week and i don't regret buying it. Yes, those folks were unlucky. Someone requested for a picture or screenshot showing the issue but none has posted it. Why? I don't get it.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] RenzokukenXDA:
Thanks for clearing this up! Sorry im noob with these screen related stuff, but is the yellow tint only potentially present on which panel? Tianma or Sharp?

I have a reason to be nervous about because Im from Asia and my unit will be coming from the US. It will be a lot harder to return the phone for replacement, just in case lol
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] joshuadjohnson22:
UPDATE: Ok so the new phone screen is SOOOO much better then the first. I put the side by side and one is really yellow and bad. I never noticed just how bad it is. Interestingly enough they claim to have the same panel. Hopefully as the pink goes away this thing will be perfect. Totally worth replacing.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] aknotts415:
Awesome to hear!!

Also guys, please dont take that some of us that have yellow tinting is a majority because its not. Not even close. Ive been on these forums for a month and when i made this thread imwas the only oine. To rly mention it or speak up so its a very very tiny amount. The pink tink is alot more common but seems to be due to the glue curing on the screen so nothing to worry about.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] vancecwtan:
I think mine has this issue as well. Albeit very slight. It's about 1cm in length from the bottom. Gets less as you increase the screen brightness. Won't bother to exchange it as of yet. Probably when it gets older or when the screen cures more.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] mnguyen127:
I have a UK white edition that I'm using, and I've been trying for awhile to replicate the yellow tint or pink tint by viewing my phone at extreme angles, and I'm just not seeing it. Does this affect all HTC 10s or just a small handful? Also, is there anyone who can replicate the issue with a photo? I'm starting to think I'm colorblind or something.

Edit: Nevermind, I see a little pink at really extreme viewing angles against white backgrounds.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] joshuadjohnson22:
I would but the camera just doesn't pick it up properly. I think it would do a disservice if I did that. Looking forward to the red hue fading and having perfect whites ?

Now to see how HTC does returns for defective devices, wish my luck
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] amq:
No pink tint here, just when looking from extreme angles. Tianma.

t-mob101
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] aknotts415:
Oddly enough, my unit with the yellow tint never had any pink hue. Id take the pink hue over the yellow any day.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] joshuadjohnson22:
yeah it's not bad at all and it cures fast.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] joshuadjohnson22:
Mine instantly went to pending fulfillment. I did not overnight it though, just the standard shipping which is 2 days for me since I am in Georgia.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Simpody:
Is this related too country of manufacturing do you think? I remember the M7 had a similar thing with different oem screens being used. Those made in China were inferior to those made in Taiwan. And the whole screen on the Chinese builds were a yellow tinge.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] CrashTestDroid:
Pink tint on mine. Adjusting the white balance all the way down makes it easy on the eyes.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] aknotts415:
Its not the pink tint thats an issue. That goes away. Its the yellow off/dirty white that a few of us have. I'm debating on what too do. I got them to give me a free label for mine. Weighing my options on getting a 6P, S7 Edge, or reorder the HTC 10. This off LCD panel makes me miss Amoled I wont lie. lol
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Simpody:
Doesn't the 6P have similar issue. I'm just gonna get replacement see if it's better
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] joshuadjohnson22:
Well it deleted my comment to you idk why hopefully you got the message lol

Lol yeah, I went through 5 of them before I got a good one
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] aknotts415:
So decided to stick with the HTC 10. Placed my new order with paypal....and......I can't look up my order lol Agh Jeez not this again lol. Oh well. Hey josh I wonder if we will still get the free gift since we returned those orders?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] joshuadjohnson22:
Yeah I was wondering that too. I guess we will find out. I mean, without knowing what it is it is hard to say if it is worth it. If it is a t-shirt or case then it is pointless. But if it is something worth it that would suck
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] aknotts415:
Yeah very true lol I was just wondering. Not a big deal. I doubt HTC's ordering system and the free gift system are very sophisticated to be able to tell anyway. I'm actually hoping for a unit with pink tint lol As I'd take that over the yellow anyday
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] joshuadjohnson22:
let me know what you get. Hopefully it will be a sharp ;)
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] aknotts415:
Hoping! :fingers-crossed: How long from order date did it take to get it not counting sunday or saturday lol also what shipping did u choose I picked ground
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] joshuadjohnson22:
I picked the free shipping and I ordered late Wednesday (pretty much like ordering it Thursday) and I got it Tuesday. It went pending fulfillment instantly and shipped Friday. Once shipped it only took like 2 business days because of my location since Friday it was just dropped off at fedex. Take a look at this fedex shipping map http://www.fedex.com/grd/maps/ShowMapEntry.do to estimate how long standard shipping will take for you
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] aknotts415:
Im actually very close to them too lol. Pittsburgh, PA lol so hoping its fast. Ordered late last night like you so probly the same time lol. I chose paypal hoping it would process faster since its not waiting on the funds to process.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] joshuadjohnson22:
sweet :) I do hate their direct signature though, so annoying if you work 40 miles away and to pick up I have to drive 2 hours
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] aknotts415:
I just had it ship to my parents house this time as my mom can sign for it. It is a pain, I mean I understand why they do it, just sucks lol
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] joshuadjohnson22:
Yeah I agree but I wish they would allow for indirect signature. I mean that way it's our fault if it gets stolen. But it will save us from a head ache
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] joshuadjohnson22:
I have a new appreciation for this phone after having a better screen in it lol. I'm pretty satisfied :)
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Simpody:
I'm gonna book mine for tomorrow night. Hope and pray I'm happy with it
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] aknotts415:
Can't Wait!!! :cyclops::cool::cool:
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] chazall1:
No do not notice this issue!
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Dan37tz:
Got my Glacier Silver T-Mobile today and the screen is much better than my first unlocked Carbon one. I still see a little bit of yellow on the bottom but only in the corner of my eye, when I try to look for it it doesn't seem to be there. I'm starting to think I'm seeing things now lol.

No pink issues, all uniform white. The whites look real nice next to my G5 which has a greenish/blue hue that I never noticed until it was side by side with my 10.

My T-Mobile version seems to sound better also, maybe my Carbon one had a defective speaker(s)? Anyways sad to see the latest update with the camera fixes haven't been pushed yet, I guess that's the sad reality of buying a carrier phone.

Overall I like it, giving it a second chance. The Glacier Silver does look more upscale than the Carbon version, wrapped with my smoked Nillkin Nature Skin Case, it looks like a nice shade of gunmetal....just beautiful.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] m3lover1:
I got mine from tmobile as well. Not sure if it's me but I seem to see the yellow tint on the bottom of the screen as well, only on white backgrounds. Not sure if it's my eyes... I'll see if I notice it more and bugs me in a week or so. If it does I'll try to get it swapped out
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Simpody:
I got my replacement device tonight. No yellow at all. So happy. Now to unlock and debrand ?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] vahdyx:
I wish I didn't see this thread. Now all of the sudden I see the yellow hue on the bottom of my screen.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Simpody:
Funny how my new unit has a sharp screen and my old one was the other
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] joshuadjohnson22:
Aw man, lucky you. Wish mine was a sharp
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] joshuadjohnson22:
Did you get yours yet?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] aknotts415:
yep :) all good, no yellow tint :) Hows your return going? :)
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] joshuadjohnson22:
still waiting for the label, they claim they already sent it to me but I do not have it
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] TriBeard:
Just got my TMO unit on Friday, and it's a TIANMA panel. I had a pink tint when I started using but it seems to have lessened and was never severe to begin with. No yellow at all for me. Whites are white and even across the whole screen. Very impressed overall. No backlight bleed or other defects to speak of either.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] joshuadjohnson22:
was yours a sharp?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] aknotts415:
nope lol yours?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] joshuadjohnson22:
nope, I'm thinking the % is probably 15% in the US judging by what everyone is saying. I guess they wanted more $$ for the panels
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Riff76:
I have it and didn't notice it until I saw this thread. Sprint user with hardware revision 1,fml
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] tegulizard13:
Yep have a little bit of tint at the bottom of my display as well. It's very slight so I'm worried Sprint will deny my exchange, but we'll see.

Lucky me I noticed within 2 weeks, so worst case I could always return it and get another one, eating the restocking fee.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Simpody:
Probably not what anyone wants to hear but the Sharp panel is way better. Saying that I only have a defect panel to compare to it.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] joshuadjohnson22:
man I want it... So tempted to keep buying them lol
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Simpody:
Why not ask them specifically for one ?..i got mine from carrier. Whom I incidentally work for and element of my role is equipment logistics so I'm lucky. Not that I went through a load of em installing dev check. I just lucked out but guess it's easier to exchange a device than do it through HTC..
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] joshuadjohnson22:
I think my only choice would be to deal with it or wait and buy it off swappa and ask them before I buy. If the pink hue will fade I'll be fine with this one.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] aknotts415:
hey you get your refund yet bud?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] joshuadjohnson22:
not yet, it took me forever to get my label (like a week) lol but they should have my device now so we will see. My credit card also takes about a day or two to update so I may not see it processed until a couple days later.

On another note I am sending back my other unit today. After the pink hue started to go away I noticed that the new one also had a yellow tint on the bottom (although not as big as the first). For not I'm going to hold off on the HTC 10. Sad to see it go back it happens. I got the label for this one real fast... very odd how the first one took a week and this one took a day. Way to go HTC. I'm hoping for a HTC nexus device but we will see
