At the end of it all, its really about personal preference. Some are not bothered by the issue, and some are (like me). This phone is good, and I have every intentions on keeping it. Within my 30 day trial period, i'll happily hunt down the unit I'm looking for. If I dont find "That" unit by the 29th day, I'll happily flex my god given right of "choice", and more than likely, i'll choose to keep!.....as long as no other issues surface up!
[Nexus S General] benjar:
From what I've seen there is a huge variation in calibration on the SAMOLED screens. so far I've seen:

1. Fairly neutral white screens with a subtle hint of blue when not viewed directly straight on. Greys turn slightly purple when significantly dimmed

2. Yellow tinted screens where whites are slightly yellow and don't look right. These screens also seem to suffer from banding in grey areas such as the notification tray

3. Blue tinted screens where whites look too blue when viewed either directly on or at an angle
[Nexus S General] benjar:
Oh and on top of that list, could be either brighter or darker with any combination of the above.
[Nexus S General] ztm.000:
Alright guys, hear me out. Today, I felt the need to do a swap at my local Best Buy. I have mixed feelings and I don't know whether or not I am satisfied, whether I'm gonna return it and re-buy it in a couple months (don't want to), or whether I am gonna go in there late one night and just see if they would let me examine the screens (that'd be cool).

So I have some snapshots for you of my screen. I don't know if it's 'defective' or not, every color seems 100% perfect, besides the lowest brightness grey. It's a dark plum/magenta color, and that absolutely sucks. People are saying that's normal, so if it is, I probably won't go back to swap again. Call me nitpicky, call me whatever the hell you want. BOTTOM LINE is, is that I paid $580 for this, and I'll be damned if the screen isn't pristine.

Also, with the new unit I got today, the capacitive buttons freak out, and stop glowing for about 5-10 seconds, and ALL of them do it. That pisses me off to no end. So I don't know if we have come to figure out that this is software related (which I believe it to be), or if it's a hardware defect, and if so, it's definitely going back.

ALSO, if you look toward the top of the glass, the curvature looks like, banded, if you will. It's not a smooth curve. That also gets me sick.. and the volume buttons are loose, but I can live with that, out of all of these.

People, I hate being this way; it's unhealthy. I think I'm gonna get your guys's opinions from this thread, make up my mind, and then get off the forums for a while, it's literally unhealthy and making me stressed out and it's absolutely stupid to be dwelling on a plastic phone. ****...

/end rant.

look at pics, let me know your opinions.

1. Clock with dim screen (clock numbers are white, which I thought was normal)

2. Grey background on lowest brightness setting

3. White on highest brightness setting

4. Home screen on brightest setting
[Nexus S General] ztm.000:
5. White background on highest brightness setting with recent apps pane up. (super pink around the edges)

:(
[Nexus S General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
color is the same ?

you my friend need to check your color blindness

i am not trying to be an ass or anything here. but i really think you should see a doctor if you cant tell a color difference in these 2 shots.
[Nexus S General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
i have one thing to say here. if you are not happy. return it. you paid alot of money. you get whats your money worth. you dont pay 580 and get a phone that is not as good as someone else who spent same ammount you did.

i can't tell much from you screen due to the bad camera quality " no hard feelings lol " but i can tell there is a degree of pink level. but its not so bad though.

try to download a darker gray wallpaper. see if the pink is more " obvious "

use this

http://psdtuts.s3.amazonaws.com/154_Magic_Ball/Step_1.jpg

or this wallpaper

http://imgs.abduzeedo.com/files/tutorials/Shining_Neon_Text_Effect_in_Photoshop/Step_1.jpg

if you see ANY level of pinkish , then its not good. period.
[Nexus S General] ztm.000:
You're right man, and that's the bottom line. I'll return it if i feel like I need to. But I tried these pics out, they're black walls. and I see no pink whatsoever. So that must be good.
[Nexus S General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
i found it.

http://www.yourfilebin.com/files/images/4ac99359a28aa2592x1944-Mac-Apple-Wallpaper-Dark-Gray.jpg

this is the wallpaper i used to test my screen " ironic isnt it ?

should be gray. no slight of pink at the lowest brightness
[Nexus S General] benjar:
I wouldn't let the greys turning purple at low brightness settings turn you off. That appears to be a common trait of all AMOLED panel types.

White accuracy is far more important, that seems to be a fairly neutral (read: good) screen.
[Nexus S General] ztm.000:
There is a tiny twinge of pink. Hmmm

The white accuracy is phenomenal I must say. Although at some times, it seems as though it has a slight yellow tint (on lowest brightness). Other times, it seems like it has a blue tint (highest brightness). Hmmm again.

[Nexus S General] ztm.000:
I have decided. I will go to BBY on monday late at night to do yet another swap, but I am going to politely ask them if I can test the units before hand.
[Nexus S General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
if you have doubts about your white . go to a room with a neon light " bulb? " and check your white. if you see it a little yellow then yeah issue. if you see it no its close to blue white. its fine .

look. at the end of the day it all depends on what you want. some people find the yellow warmish color is better for their eyes. BUT in general. the blue white in high setting or no pink in low setting is the considered good screen
[Nexus S General] ztm.000:
Couldn't agree more... Honestly at the end of the day I am unhappy.
[Nexus S General] princeasi:
Yeah this what I've been doing, because I'm sure repeated exchanges kills off there numbers, and that's not what I want to do. This way I get to see what I'm getting before hand, and they don't waste inventory. Fyi, some of them I had to twist there arm to get them to demo the phone first. Whenever they acted like they didn't want to, I would just tell them "look, either you guys give me the opportunity to look at what I might be exchanging, or I'll just blindly exchange and hope I receive a properly functioning device!" After presenting them with that option, they usually see it makes much more sense for them to demo the device first!
[Nexus S General] ztm.000:
Definitely insightful. Thank you for the knowledgeable post. It was easy to swap today because every story everywhere was a mad house, but on other days I fear as though it may not be as easy. But I could simply put up these points, or many others and they should begin to understand. Because I hate doing swaps as much as they do, and its not like these boxes are sealed anyway. Shouldn't be too hard to accomplish. If so, there are two bbys to choose from if these people don't cooperate, which I feel like they will

[Nexus S General] bob.zxr:
Then why cant I see these on Nexus one screens? They are AMOLED too.
[Nexus S General] dinan:
The N1 screen has a different color balance... it's significantly warmer, which I kind of prefer, but that's also part of the reason why it's not as bright as a SAMOLED screen.
[Nexus S General] draugaz:
My nexus one gets purple tint on dark levels. Two other htc desires I saw exhibit the same effect too. I actually haven't seen any amoled screen with perfect (=true) colors.

To me it looks like an inadequate control of the blue LED's. They fairly overshoot on high brightness levels delivering this "cool" bluish tint which many people think is white and undershoots on the low levels making gray look purple.

LED's are non linear devices, it is very difficult to make them emit the precisely defined amount of light. To make matters worse, different colors age at a different pace and also has it's own unique nonlinearity characteristics.

I don't know, it looks like samsung simply ran out of their pixel DAC bits.
[Nexus S General] princeasi:
Because you were lucky not to receive a unit with that issue. I've been thru many n1's and to have one without the purple issue is a rare jewel.
[Nexus S General] ztm.000:
It's still enough for me to swap.
[Nexus S General] RogerPodacter:
One disappointment I had with the S, all units I tested, the nexus one white was dead white, while the S was either blue or yellow white. Kinda sucked.
[Nexus S General] benjar:
On mine you could.
[Nexus S General] princeasi:
I question whether the tint issue is really consider a problem in the eyes of samsung. I mean the tints were very prevalent in the N1's. Samsung allowing this exact issue surface up in their NS lines, is it really considered a defect??? Could this inconsistency be considered normal due to possibly different production plants manufacturing these screens for samsung???
[Nexus S General] ztm.000:
I totally agree. We should stop worrying.

[Nexus S General] chaval:
Maybe, or probably, It is supposed to be like that. Within tolerance specs.

Hell, I have this Sony projector for 3500$, and you know what? Its not perfect...

I asked professionals "Is it supposed to be like this?" They said "Yes, its within tolerance specs"

If you are searching for something, you are going to find it.

My advice, enjoy your phone.

I'd be more worried if it had real HW issues, like buttons or signal.

I might have tramped on a landmine here:)
[Nexus S General] ztm.000:
No man, I totally agree here. We're being crazy, de ja vu of the Nexus One forums...
[Nexus S General] zomgzombies:
So, after carefully reviewing this thread and using the phone, i've decided to go ahead and exchange it. I love this device but i didn't want the issue. I spent the full 530+tax to get it and I don't want to run around knowing something is wrong. Bestbuy was not happy...

I went in and explained what was going on with the phone. Showed the yellow and then showed the purple tint issue. I also was victim to the rattly volume buttons. The "Manager" at bbmobile explained that amoled screens are like that and exchanging it wouldnt solve the problem. I explained to him that my friend who purchased the phone from the same store did not have these issues. The guy kept going on and on about how he has to eat the cost because there's nothing wrong with the phone kept telling me that maybe it just wasn't for me. This struck a nerve but i remained calm.

He went on and tried to recite AMOLED tech (Im a 7 year emp of a cell provider, i know what kind of screen it is) and blah blah about screens and finally told me to just go back to my old phone since the color was right, basically saying something must be wrong with my eyes.Ummmm....ok. I explained to him that these issues would keep arising if they show no returns for the device. The only way to get word up is to take action. After standing there and watching him "whisper" into his phone, he finally exchanged it. The new phone has no issues and the display is great. Take that mr. manager....

Cliff Notes: BB doesn't want to exchange it if they think nothing is wrong.....Fight em! It's your money.
[Nexus S General] princeasi:
You mean to tell me you found one without the purplish issue??? Can you post pictures with the dimmed clock please? Also what area did you get it from?
[Nexus S General] zomgzombies:
Guess i should rephrase, the purple issue with the clock being dimmed is still there. I was more concerned about the super pee yellow tint my phone had.
[Nexus S General] princeasi:
Oh I see.
[Nexus S General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
man. you and i should become best buddies. **** we even have the same OCD

i consider a none pinky/yellow screen is a rare jewel too.

i am almost this close from kissing my screen ^_^
[Nexus S General] princeasi:
Loll, yeah forreal.....but on a serious note, I can accept the issue if all the NS's are manufactured this way. That means that it's supposed to be this way(specific to NS). I went back to the best buy where I saw the non-purple unit, I looked at their demo unit again and you know what, it also had the purple, it's just that screen was a little dimmer and sometimes it's hard to see the issue in a well lit area. I'm pretty much at the conclusion that "it's just the way they are" but the moment I see one without the purple, I'll be very disappointed.
[Nexus S General] dinan:
Yea... my screen is similar to my Vibrant's... a bit blueish. It's slightly yellower than the Vibrant, but barely. And when you dim it using the Clock app, ya it's purplish instead of grey. That and my oleophobic coating is coming off, I think I'll go for an exchange soon.
[Nexus S General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
thats what i thought about galaxy S. but then when i compared mine to my brother.... hell went loose.
[Nexus S General] Zenoran:
compared to a fascinate I just got my dad for christmas this screen looks like crap. I'm going to try for a exchange to compare. I'm not sure how good best buy online is with exchanges though?

Is it possible to have more than a single instance of one application on a single device at one time?

I install the correct drivers and can see the device if I "adb devices" It fails to allow me to "su" or "adb shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/etc.." throws up an error about permissions. Am I missing something? Is the latest firmware preventing me from rooting the phone. Is there a newer method that works best?

There's lots of files on your phone that you don't have permission to change. You can try flashing all day, but they won't change until you get permission. You get permission by rooting your phone (getting root access)...
