[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] howsonph:
Yeah thinking something like that. I've clearly screwed something up somewhere. I think as you say will probably sort it. Some combination of re-installing and resetting sorted it for other posters who have experienced similar.

---------- Post added at 09:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:03 PM ----------

And just for the record on this thread, as suggested, I restored my backups using the TWRP command line via adb (i.e. adb shell twrp ..... ) since the screen was unresponsive. Worked, except for a couple of partitions (vendor failed with a very nondescript error message of extractTarFork() process ended with ERROR: 255 ). Retrospectively would've probably been better not to use the SD card to keep the backup on, I think using the command line to back up directly on to your PC is arguably a nicer way of doing things. But didn't matter, that got everything back to a state where the screen started working properly in recovery mode and the Huawei recovery started working again as well, so I just decided to take everything back to the original state and start completely afresh.

I'm assuming this is for the red tint? But at 141mb, there's got to be more than that. Anyone else got this?

In the "Screen Mode" options you have to check "Advance Options", scroll down and you'll see the color balance. Kinda weird they did it this way.

Are all these updates worth doing before we know anything about rooting the device etc? Like would any of these updates hurt us on any possibly future exploits to patch something up and unlock? I havent updated my device since I got it.

Anyone using package disabler. Remember to enable all disable software. Cause if nlt. U might end up in bootloop after the update and the only solution would.be a hard reset.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Infobits:
I got the red tint update this morning on my S8. Installed it and for me it made no difference in the range of adjustment for totally getting rid of the red tint issue. The edge red tint on mine is always there. So for my S8, no difference. slower Wi-Fi file transfer speed that I've mentioned in my various other postings is not improved either. Still the same. Oh well.

I think it's only a T-mobile issue OR it's only been released on T-mobile phones at this time

How could that possibly be declared just hours after the update has started to roll out? "Well my battery went down 3% instead of 2% in the span of two hours so this update must effect battery. Oh noes!" :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ElBeaner:
Mine seems to be worse after the update BUT it took forever on the white Tmobile screen (which is 100% brightness and almost allwhite) so hard to say.

Also I think Doze got reset too cause I am seeing apps in ram management that should be dozed right now

Gonna give it a day/two and see what happens

received today. Not going to update until I know we can root at least. I remember some updated on LG mucked everything up when we updated to new firmware. And this doesn't look like just a little update either like a color correction which may be 25 MB at very most. Anyway, I'm trolling this tread to see how the new update affects everything. BTW I found a root option for the S8 but I need to check, recheck and check again before I do it. I need to make sure I get back to stock before I even attempt. EDIT: TMO S8 version.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] mrvain84:
Hi guys,

Story of my life. I preordered my S8+ on March 30th, received it on April 20th. Reading about pink tint I was happy not to see any. But what I got was green tint across the whole screen. On top of that the curved edges were really visible and had this glowing effect, as described in this thread: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8+/help/dark-edges-t3593730

I decided to return it and ordered another two units. The first one was completely pink, using the white balance sliders and the color calibration code (*#15987#) helped a little, but it was still pink. The other one had dead pixels near one of the curved edges and was greenish in one part of the screen. I returned all of them.

I'm stubborn (and like the phone design a lot) so I bought another three (this time I took some photos which I attached below). The first one had extremely greenish tint and as any other greenish screen the curved edges were really visible and had this glowing effect.

The second one was entirely pink including the pinkish edges and the third one was pink only at the top. Playing with white balance and color calibration did not help, only lowered the effect a little bit.

To make it worse one unit had splinter on the frame straight out of the box.

There is a guy on polish forum of S8+ who got twelve units of S8+ and only one was perfect: http://forum.android.com.pl/topic/314518-ekran-w-galaxy-s8-plus/?page=19#comment-5078692

Is it only in my beloved country so hard to get the perfect screen (by perfect I mean not pink nor green, without dead pixels) or were we so unlucky ? It seems almost impossible to get the good unit. I'm really tired of not being able to enjoy mine new device. I'm thinking about buying another 5 units from different sources. I will give it a last chance ...

PS. To make it clear - I'm buying new phones almost every year since 10 years and never had such issues. I had to replace one of my phones just once in my entire life! So I'm not that kind of person seeing issues everywhere, I'm just not agreeing to pay full price for a device with such flaws.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] dhorgas:
I feel you. I don't know what to say to help, but if it is any consolation I know exactly how you are feeling. A few years back I had a similar problem with the BlackBerry Passport. I ended up exchanging about 12 devices before I found one that didn't have flaws out of the box. I got roasted on the CrackBerry forums for it, but proof was all there. I simply got 12 broken devices out of the box... Seems unreal almost, but it happens.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Biggenz:
I couldn't care less if there was a green or a blue or a pink or a yellow tint. It still does the same job.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] kennypow3rs:
Your best bet is to just wait until the first few batches are pushed out and just wait until samsung makes more phones..let everyone​ else buy up all the pink ones. This could take months though, maybe about 3. Either way, buying an AMOLED is similar to buying an LCD; you will get lucky if you don't get dead pixels or screen tint issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] TheBrandonWRX:
That's true but wouldn't an older device as well? People should be getting quality products for the price.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] shollywood:
Couldnt agree more!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] aroy97:
Don't see what the problem is regarding screen tint issue, Samsung is aware of it and said they can address it through a software update. I would've just waited for that and changed my screen color ratio in the mean time. Also the pictures you showed with the dead pixels, either I'm blind or it wouldn't honestly make a difference or you wouldn't even notice it in daily usage. Just my two cents
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Biggenz:
People should indeed get quality products for their money, but this seems to be a new obsession when it comes to new phones. People sitting there all day looking at a white screen trying to find an imperfection. If you use the phone day to day, there is no way you would even notice it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] dhorgas:
When you pay $1,300 for something, like I did for my S8+, you want it to be flawless, at least physically. We all work hard for our money, one way or the other. I won't stand for throwing it away on a semi-defective device, no matter how small the defect.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] happy2472:
I thought I was having a screen issue ... but it was just my eyes .. however im having audio output issues and im pissed off ... had to use a speaker booster for everything ... at full volume its like 1/3 of full on my note 4 ... going to Verizon to test the sample phones to mine
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] cantenna:
Ohh oh... You hoping for something that will never happen, good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] dhorgas:
I got a perfect device with the S8+, thankfully, on first go. Software wise, different story, but HW is flawless. It's hit and miss.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] :
If they are going to start setting a precedent where they are asking for laptop money for a phone, then we need to respond by expecting that it at least comes as advertised. When we start dropping our standards while they keep raising the price, then we are all in for ever-increasing amounts of agro as they will just assume x% of people will just take it up the wrong-un and keep coming back for more. For this money, if there are any hardware defects out of the box, back it goes. But those are just my standards.

In response to the OP, sounds like you are ordering replacments from the same borked batch. I'd either find a new source or wait for the scruffy units to go elesewhere.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] cantenna:
Ya, its also entirely subjective and dependant upon the individual, but good on ya for being at peace.

Software wise, im rooted and am able to enhance my android experiance on this device were i deem fit; so very pleased with this device.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] MySam:
Mine is absolutely flawless, want to buy ?)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] dhorgas:
There is nothing subjective about having a color balanced display, no visible marks, flaws, or any other defects anywhere on the body, and no dead or stuck pixels. All ports and speakers work, mics all work, etc. No, physically perfect is not subjective. It's very much objective, based on factual observations about the conditions of the device. Besides, as the poster above has said as well, if they're going to be asking laptop money for a phone it better be flawless.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] cantenna:
Your argument is still predicated on your interpretation of perfection, so that it is subjective! Feel free to dispute that further, lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] dhorgas:
This is a pretty comical comment. Your argument amounts to everything being subjective. Why is a square a square? Why is it not a triangle? Because a square has 4 equal sides and 90 degree angles connecting all sides to each other. That's not subjective; it is mathematically objective. The same way, a perfect display is one that is without defects. A perfect phone body is one without scuffs. You either have dead pixels or you don't. You either have scuffs or you don't. Your display is centered in the frame of the phone, or it isn't. Your display is using a proper white-point, or it is not. These are not subjective things. The state is binary.

i have these issues since years, but this time it's extreme...

*sigh*

Can we get a moderrator to change the title of this thread to; LCD is better than AMOLED (because this is what this thread is really about(I prefer amoled btw))
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] statikk1:
If you pay PREMIUM $$$ for a device then you EXPECT it to be perfect. Different story if you bought a knockoff or a cheap Chinese brand. This is Samsung, a company that's been up there for many years and it is something one has the right to expect after dropping such $$ for a device from them.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] aroy97:
you are right, paying for a premium phone and obviously expect it to be perfect. However, in referring to the OP that found a few dead pixels on screen. I personally didn't see any inactive pixels, problems like that are negligible and won't be noticed in day to day usage, I can guarantee you that.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] TML1504:
I actually still prefer AMOLED, because there ARE "very good" screens existing! You only need usually 5-10 devices to get one!

As long as not enough people bother or complain, Samsung does the right thing. As I wrote, the problem is existing for years. but only on S8 it is such intense that even mainstream-techsites got aware...

here are pics of the 4 devices I own atm:
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] galaxyYtester:
The 4th device is exactly like mine, green tint all over... I dislike it more than I would dislike a red or blue tint, because it makes the display look kind of old and dirty, and Samsung is overlooking green-tinted displays in the fixes that they did. Sliding the green slider all the way down fixes the issue for me, but just barely, and some elements that are slightly gray can still have a green tint.

Do you think if it's possible to burn the tint out, by displaying a pure green image filling the whole display on max brightness for a long time? In theory it should work, because it "ages" the green pixels and makes them less visible, and my issue is only having too much green, red and blue are perfectly calibrated.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] tvprocks:
I had to exchange it one time, it still had that tint. I didn't want to go thru it and mess around with the brightness. I barely can see the pink tint, my brightness is almost at full brightness. It's a little before the red line. I would have to turn it to exactly a certain angle, even then it's very faint.

There should be no such issues with a phone that expencive. Blind sheep who are too in love with Samsung to say anything bad about a phone are part of the problem. As long as you people accept flaws, they won't make things (phones) better.

Coming from a person who refuses to send his Note 7 back I think your post ironic but typically you..

Please don't bring your caustic style of posting from the Note 7 thread to this one.

If you bother to read the threads here you will find zero "Blind sheep" who are "Too in love with Samsung" to complain, on the contrary an awful lot of the threads on the S8+ are NEGATIVE as one expects on a forum.

How do you determine it's green or pink or blue? Do you have a color card and professional equipment to determine temperature of this screen or their color range?

today I got my 6th device, very bad red tint, maybe the worst of all devices I've seen so far!

this really makes me mad! in the meanwhile I accept that I won't get a screen without issues, but I want at least one which is as good as my selected S7e screen or Note7 screen were...

I hope Samsung learns from this an makes further AMOLED generations better in regard to these issues!

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] TML1504:
4 are from Amazon Germany (2 pre-ordered, both of them had other defects too: one has a ~0,5mm particle under the glas of the screen, the other one can not show the AOD background color without a hard cut to black, none of my other devices have this issue (smooth gradient as it should be). seems like a too high gamma calibration. Tried a fully reset, issue stays the same. interestingly, this device has NO red tint whatsoever, but the screen gets also darker on the right side, see my pics)

1 from cyberport.at, bought last week

1 from mediamarkt (local chain in DE & AT)

all S8+ G955F black

Le-sigh...I live in Canada and the S8+ was pretty much exactly $1250 at launch, taxes included. I bought it from Samsung directly on preorder. I'm not an idiot.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] galaxyYtester:
I'm still using my unit made in the beginning of March (one of the first S8+ batches ever made), bought as pre-order and arrived on the 21st of April. The whole display is pretty green and a little bit cool-toned, except the edges in the top and bottom don't have a cool tint to them. Adjusting the overall display white point to decrease green fixes the green tint problem everywhere, but adding warmth to get rid of the cool tint adds a warm tint to the edges. Using the display edges color correction mode to add a cool tint to the edges helps this problem, and now my whole display has an even, natural-looking white point.
