That's what I'm thinking. I only see it when it's right next to the note 9 otherwise you'd never see it. And I've already got it set up and put the Armorsuit screen protector on it.

I chatted with Samsung, mentioned XDA and said what about a firmware fix? Guy said that's a possibility and that he'd pass the info on. Sounded pretty sincere.

I found the image quality in particularly reading wasn't as sharp and on point to what I was used to.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Limeybastard:
I've said this before and I'll say it again. Every big Android player should implement the color calibration wheel that some of not all Huawei devices have. The adjustment possibilities are infinite compared to the RGB slider used on most other devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] dorpmuller:
Welp... I took mine back to Best Buy and exchanged it. At least the replacement has *slightly* better color but the brightness is much improved. They were very patient but I still got whacked with the 45.00 restocking fee because it "wasn't technically defective."

Except for that I'm at least semi-happy with it now display-wise but my other amoled devices still beat it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] necoicould:
same here, from germany.

got my Note20Ultra today, and could compare it with my previous Note10+.

The temperature of the white color is more saturated in Note10+ than Note20Ultra.

Note20Ultra Display is looking more warm/yellow than the Note10+. So content seems to be more crisp on Note10+.

Weird.

I must confess I don't have the original screen protector of Note10+ on it any more.

But I don't think there would be this kind of difference, just because there is a screen protector.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] lapeno022:
Hello! I can clearly say that when I switch to standard refresh rate (60), it performs better. more reliable colors, contrast a bit maybe? I'v just tested that in settings, and grey was closer to my old note 9 contrast/tint in standard mode
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] necoicould:
I just had a chat conversation with the samsung support in the members app, and told them about my "yellowish" display issue/not crispy display etc. And he told me that samsung is aware of the yellow display issue (as he told me) and they are trying to fix it with the next update. I don't know how much of this is true, but I do think that's a software issue too,, rather than an hardware issue.

For two days I'm comparing the display of the note10+ and my note20u and wondering, how this lack of "bright white" has an immense effect on the whole display of n20u:

- washed out colors

- white is looking blueish/yellowish

- colors are not vivid/punchy

- content is not really crisp

I did also try to play with the vivid mode, turning up and down colors, but the problems seems to be something different, because I could not reach the pure/cold/true-colored white as on my n10+. it seems to be some general color temperature setting, which isn't controllable within the user system.

I hope the update will make it better.

Did samsung ever fixed any similar display issue like this with an update in the last years?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] spitshaw:
I think this is the issue. The first thing I noticed turning my Note 20 Ultra on was how bad the white was. Natural mode was warm and yellow - to get the white as close to white as I could I had to turn on vivid mode, 100% cool and then remove 70% of the green and 50-60% of the red on the white balance. Looks much better but still isn't a pure white like the white I get on my P20 Pro. Makes sense that the issues with washed out colours and lack of punchiness are coming from the lack of a true bright white. I'm concerned that this is a screen hardware issue and not software, so won't get fixed. I could probably live with it all to be honest if it wasn't for the effect the washed out colours have on skin tones - they make skin look so unnatural and grey/pale or yellow/green - almost to the point where people look ill!

Also I'm glad you mentioned the crispness of text when reading- it really is lacking in sharpness compared to every other screen I have - although I don't mind it that much, it still looks really nice to read.

The thing I don't understand though is how none of these display issues are mentioned on any of the YT reviews? The screen issues I've encountered are pretty problematic and it's not as if they aren't completely obvious either
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Limeybastard:
You both heard about the terminology blue light filter? No? Look into it.

Since the note 9 nearly every samsung devices has had "improved " blue light filter panels with greater blue light reduction .In laymen's terms this equates to more yellow.

The difference was huge when coming from a note 8 to 9. And in every incarnation they have further decreased the blue light filter on their oled panels.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] necoicould:
yes this could be the reason.

I just hope the support was right saying they are aware of this and will bring an update.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] necoicould:
I would not say that this issue is a "real" issue, which has an effect on most of the users.

I think we belong to the 5% of people disputing over the 5% difference in color temperature of the display.

But at least I must confess, that's very important to me - because the difference is huge (at least for me).

A true white is the basic of the whole content of the display. It (passively) controls the sharpness, depth plasticity

of the visual content on the display. Changing vividness, etc. will not solve this issue on its roots.

The rest of the people, 95%, will never notice any difference/bad colors, because the display on the n20u is actually still very good - if you don't give a :) to the white-balance "issue".

wow, hard topic.

As Limeybastard said, it could be the blue light filter, which has increased, comparing to the Note10+.

But my feelings say it can be fixed with a software update.

But I still have these questions:

1) Did samsung ever fixed any similar display issue like this with an update in the last years?

2) Did someone, who belongs to the 5% of people, ever had the chance to compare multiple n20u devices?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] spitshaw:
What confuses me is that to me, the problem is VERY obvious and it just can't be ignored. Especially when working with photos of people or watching tv shows/youtube/movies etc. That's because the display makes skin tones REALLY washed out - so they look ill or unwell. People's faces always look pale/grey or yellowish/green. The same photos/videos look fine and normal on my Tab S7 Plus, P20 Pro and Note 8. It was difficult to capture these examples on camera but you can see on these comparisons I took with my P20 Pro, all of the skin tones are too yellow, greenish or pale and washed out.

What do you think? :
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] necoicould:
It's hard to capture displays but yes, it seems to be the same issue like on my phone. A 2-3% yellowish filter on top of everything. Which takes away all the depth of images and etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Limeybastard:
They just say that to get you off the chat or phone call , I'm sorry to say.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] spitshaw:
I think this is correct. I've been told twice today from two different agents that this issue will be fixed in the next update. I don't believe them haha. Someone else online has posted about the same issue in October and was told the same thing - clearly it hasn't been fixed since then either
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] chrisw1991:
I'm experiencing the same problem, and I've been trying to get a refund on the device with no luck currently. Annoying I only noticed the issue after the 30 day return period, when I was transferring an image from my PC to the phone. As mentioned above, this issue isn't really noticeable to most people, but as soon as you put the phone side by side with another device, the issue becomes more obvious.

Samsung eventually got me to send the phone off for repair, which I knew would be kind of pointless. They ended up concluding there was no fault with the device and sent it straight back. I've sent over multiple images of the phone side by side with other phones trying to show them the problem, but no luck on the refund yet 😂.

I have since installed the One UI 3.0 beta, as I did see some people mention that improved the colours of the display, but I haven't seen any difference on my device.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] necoicould:
I was in the store to compare other note 20 ultra phones with my n10+ and yes, all have the same 'issue'.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] necoicould:
Haha, I had also the idea trying it with one ui 3.0 beta. so, no difference... :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] necoicould:
For those using Instagram. Just use the image

http://instagr.am/p/CIX0Am6lrXw/
as a good example comparing the effect of white. On my n10+ it's looking very crisp, high contrast, very deep black and white, just wow. On my n20u it's not bad, but not as 'wow' /vibrant deep colors as on n10+.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] spitshaw:
So do we think this is a problem with the display and it happens on all devices? I wonder how nobody mentioned it much before. I noticed immediately when taking photos of friends that everybody looked sick and jaundiced and then the same problem on YouTube when watching late night shows. If this is the same for all of the phones I can't understand how there wasn't mass complaints!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] chrisw1991:
So annoying! Thought that may have solved this issue.

Seems like this could possibly be a hardware issue. It's weird that not many reviewers have picked up on the issue though if every device is effected.

Am I correct in saying that this is Samsung's first display with variable refresh rate? Maybe that is causing some sort of issue with colour calibration?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] spitshaw:
I found a bit of a fix guys. Helps for about 60-70% imo.

If you go to -<Settings - Accessibility - Visibility Enhancements - Color adjustment> and choose either

1. Tritan (blue-Yellow) and turn it up to 70 - 100%

or

2. Deutan (green-red) and turn it up to 50%

You can get rid of some pf the yellow skin tones. Let me know if it helps
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] necoicould:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] baldimir:
What works for me for display colors is Vivid mode with White Balance set to Cool (slider completely to the left) and Advanced color settings as in the screenshot. Edit: I also use sRGB setting from Developer options.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] spitshaw:
Just wanted to update you guys with a fix I found. I sent the Note20U back and ended up buying the S21U. Funnily enough it has the exact same problem although it's like 20% better. So the fix works for me on the S21U - I assume it will help on the Note20u

After messing around with the settings I figured out the following which gets the white balance looking good (much less green/yellow tint) and also removes the horrible blown out/yellow skin tones from vivid at the same time.

1. Set the phone into vivid

2. Turn on eyecomfort with the colour temperature all the way to the left

3. Turn on the tritan (blue-yellow) colour adjustment to about 30%

You do lose a little of the maximum brightness but the phone looks way better this way
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] meomap13:
My suggestion: I put my Note 20 ultra side by side with iPhone 11 Pro Max for comparison, this setting brings display on Note 20 ultra the closest to iPhone:

1- Turn on Vivid display

2- Go to Developer Options, turn on sRGB on Picture Color Mode

3- Return to Setting -> Display -> Natural

Now check the screen again. Hope it can help.

P/s:

- You have to turn on Vivid display in Setting 1st, otherwise you can't find the Picture Color Mode in Developer Options

- The plastic screen protector go together with Note 20 ultra is super oil catching. Cleaning/ Removing it will help with color distortion.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] shri080:
Hey guys, so finally what happened to those who had displays with low brightness? This thread seems to have gone dead.

I just bought the N20U yesterday as it was on a good discount on Amazon here in India. Last night I was comparing the display with my N10+ and to my surprise the N10+ brightness in a completely dark room was almost 20 to 30% more than the 20U. Though the brightness is sort of almost equal during day light. But I am very sure the N20U's display is at least 5 to 10% less brighter than my N10+ which is kind of disappointing. Not sure what does that higher nits even mean. Also the contrast is a tad bit lesser by about 5% again and the screen has a warmer/greenish tones, which I am sort of okay with. The green tint bothers me only when I am watching something where there is object with black colour. Instead of showing black it shows greenish black which is the only issue.

But this brightness and contrast thing did bother me as long as I was keeping the N10+ next to the ultra. Though in day to day usage this really isn't going to bother me, but its not a good feeling to know your old phone has better display. Also I compared the display with S21U and it seems to have at least 20% brighter display and whites are much better too.

I found one more thing which I was super disappointed about, the N20U has an older version of the camera app where the exposure slider is still available. I have updated the it to the latest software with September security patch but its really strange that N10+ with the same update has newer version of the camera app which in my opinion does a better job especially in handling dynamic range and skin tones. Not sure if there is a manual way of updating the app to the newer version. Has anyone of you observed this?

N10+ camera app is on the version 11.0.03.24 while the 20U is still on 11.0.03.21. I have checked for a newer update multiple times since yesterday but seems like I am on the latest software on both. Please let me know if you guys know a workaround for this.

Same issue, note 20 ultra snapdragon. Just got it as a birthday present to myself, imported from HK. Disappointed as it's immediately noticeably dimmer then my S9. Seems to have less saturation / contrast. Not enough of a deal breaker to make me return it, but sucks.

A few other things I don't like about the phone (under screen fingerprint reader sucks compared to the s9: slower he less accurate, even your locked out for 30 seconds cos it couldn't recognise my fingerprint with times, also no dedicated fingerprint for the secure Folder anymore, no more LED light so you can see which notification you have from the colour it's blinking [white for WhatsApp for example] have or iris scanner too :(, used to look so baller paying for drinks with Samsung pay by scanning my iris. Also having issues getting AOD to work, when goes black after a second of AOD when I turn the screen off, probably something in the settings )

But there's more good than bad, so she's a keeper and portrait mode is insane! My friends have asked me to send every pic I've taken of them. But I really hate the screen compared.

Hi, [MENTION=11018113]tamdwin[/MENTION],

Even though you believe your phone may have been hacked, DeviceKeystring, DeviceTest, EmergencyManagerService, FACM, IMS Service, IOTHiddenMenu, Samsung MirrorLink 1.1, Settings, Setup Wizard, Wi-Fi Direct & WlanTest are enabled on my Note9 with One UI 2.1, Security patch: 1 July 2020 (w/out Google Play Services/Google Play Store, Bixby, GearVR, DeX...only have Google Services Framework installed).

After downloading the 1 July 2020 Security update, I noticed that these services could no longer be turned off for wi-fi control.

Wish I never downloaded the update for the fancy camera features, lol.

Some of the settings, such as disabling "Find My Mobile" from running in the background, reset/enable after you restart the phone.

Hi everyone!

I’ve been using the “So Hot Rom Diamond build 19214 (made by Hongkong in PDAVIET.NET)” for a month or two and these are the facts:

-Great battery life

-Good performance

-About 25-30Mb free memory

-Nice looking rom (love the Diamond look-a-like watch and icons on the HTC Home)

-Very stable interface

-WMP plays any video format

-And so other stuff…

Everything OK, until I want to receive any file via Bluetooth o IR… here comes the trouble: I can send perfectly files, but I cannot receive anything… OBEX checked, is on, receive beam checked, is on, softreset a few times, hardreset once, but it keeps me saying that there is a communication error. It seems to be a “real” problem.

So, I’m wondering if somebody can help telling me if there’s a solution for these issue or not… maybe it’s a Rom problem, a registry problem o what? :confused:

Plz! Any answer is welcome!

Thanks a lot!
