I noticed my screen is getting a little darker at night after 7.1.1. I don't know if this is the expected behavior for the new version or something on my phone.
When 7.0 launched I tried the night mode enabler, didn't like it and uninstalled. Don't know of there is something left on my phone that's causing this.
The best way to test this is manually changing time in the settings.
Hopefully it is feature. It's not nigh mode (or whatever is called when blue light is reduced) but still better for our eyes.
I didn't notice any red tint, the screen just dims a little.
Hi guys, any advice will be helpful.
Last day i was at office and was charging my Huawei watch, later i saw a yellow blink on the screen and when i tried to turn on the screen by taping on the screen or using wrist gesture the screen wont display.
Observations
1. Watch completely works perfect only the display is not showing up when you wake the or want to use the screen.
2. The touch is working. (can select even the screen is fully black and navigate)
3. On the "always on" mode the notifications and the always on display is showing. only the bright display is not working.

I had a similar thing happen when I had a brightness app installed, I think it was Wear Brightness Control: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.edgecontrols.android&hl=en
It took me forever to figure that out and get the app uninstalled, but my watch has been fine ever since. You might check to see if you have the same or a similar app installed on yours.
Hi Guys,
This is my first post so apologies in advance if this is not the correct place to ask this question or if I don't particularly explain the issue I'm having properly.
Something incredibly annoying and frustrating is happening with my display every night. I notice that around 7pm each evening, my phone will go from a nice crisp looking display to one with a yellowish/warm hue. It's as if my blue light filter is on but when I check, it's definitely off. I turn it on and nothing changes with the display, but when I turn it off, the display goes back to how it previously was. I am currently using the adaptive screen settings, auto brightness turned off, and blue light filter turned on with the customer schedule of midnight to 9am. I've also tried turning off blue light filter altogether but still run into this issue. It keeps happening every so often in the same night even after I've "corrected it" using the method of turning on and off the blue light filter.
Is this to be expected with the adaptive screen mode? I love how vivid and bright it is during the day, but despise the yellowish tint at night. Could it be possible that the blue light filter is somehow turning on by itself even when I've turned the feature completely off?
I appreciate any assistance. Samsung tech support was not particularly helpful and told me to go to Costco where I purchased it from and return it.
Thanks,
Cam
Have you tried configuring the color balance in the Display settings?

Thanks for your reply. I haven't tried that yet because I figured it didn't matter what setting I adjust it to as the display would automatically change in the evening anyways.

It's strange that even you already turned off Blue Light Filter, it's still making it dim. I find the dimming helpful since it doesn't strain the eyes at night. You could try reflashing the software for the phone.

I agree, but I would like for it to be turned on later such as 1 hour before I go to bed.
At 7pm PST this evening (about 15 min ago), the screen regained it's yellow tint again. I turned on the blue light filter, then turned it off to get it back to how it was initially previous to 7pm.
The Samsung support rep asked me to factory reset my phone, but that didn't work either. Would that be similar to flashing the software? I can certainly give it a try but was just wondering if the factory reset essentially did the same thing. I'm really not sure what this could be.

It's the custom schedule for the blue filter. You can change it in display settings.

This does not fix it. I have my custom schedule set to enable at 8:00 and disable at 8:01 but it still turns on at 7pm.
Finally figured it out!!! Go to Google Play Books. Open a book and tap the screen to find the letter A. From there go to settings and turn off the night light. Whew! This has been bothering me for months!! Hth!!
I'm having the exact same issue except I've turned off/on the blue light filter a million times and it doesn't fix it.
I also don't have google play books installed so it's not that. I've tried messing with every "display" setting but nothing fixes it.
My phone did this same thing a couple months ago and when I woke up the next morning, the display was back to normal. Now it just did it again but even though its a day later, my display is still all messed up (not as bright and crisp, has a yellowish hue to it).
Anyone got any other ideas or does this sound like some kind of hardware issue?
I had the same problem specially when I go to sleep at my dark bedroom, my phone is Samsung Note 8, and I just found the solution. Turn your phone to the otherside, look at the main Camera, mine has two cameras, a flash, and a rectangle black sensor at the end. I covered this sensor with a thick black paper that I found from a brochure, taped it in place, and Wala ? no more screen dim.
WOW

This has been bothering me for more than a year. I had to get a free book to try it out. Thank you SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much!!!
Has anyone noticed their screen occasionally looking slightly warmer (more yellow) than usual? Not sure if it's after the recent update or if its always been there..i think its the update.
SM-960F here
Display mode - Adaptive. But I'm comparing just the notification shade.

That is probably a result of the blue light filter. It turns on automatically at 7 pm. You can change its settings in display

Thanks for your reply but its not that. I checked.
Do you notice it in certain apps? There's also a "video enhancer" feature under "Advanced features" - try turning that off to see if it changes anything.
The one other way I notice the screen temperature change is in bright light - under Brightness, you can control the "screen mode" - adaptive is default, which means it automatically switches between cool and warm depending on what you're doing and where you are (in the sun, for example). Take a look at the settings there, because you can customize it a lot.
Edit: I see you said you are on adaptive, so you probably already looked at these. Have you tried making it a set setting rather than adaptive?
Try turning off auto brightness.
So this morning I got my oneplus 9pro, and things were all fine until evening. i didnt enable, reading mode, comfort vision, nightlight etc but the display started to look warmer with whites having a reddish tint. I tried to use Advanced mode in color calibration and turned down the tone to cool and green. but the always on display AOD still shows the white text with reddish tint and as soon as I unlock the device I can see the display changing back to my cooler settings from warm. I took screenshot of a white blank page from DOCs app and it was yellow in my device but as soon as I sent it to my friend in whatsapp it was all white. Searched the internet for everything and still cant seem to figure out the solution. iF its a hardware or software issue. I tried color inversion, wipe cache, color correction, reset device everything. PLEASE HELP
it is most likely the comfort tone. deactivate the slide
Yup definitely comfort tone

I mentioned it fellas. No comfort tone nothing the screen is totally warm. Even if I set it to coolest settings I can see the yellowish white when scrolling. Especially in AOD it gets worse. Is this hardware or a software problem?
