IPhone screen brightness/colour

So my mate just got a replacement iphone from an apple store, and as i was looking at it next to mine i was amazed at how much brighter and better his screen was. when you open something like the settings page he had a nice bright white background, where as mine is a dullish grey with a kind of pink tinge....i checked the brightness settings, set them both high, low everything, his screen is so much better, is this a common thing or a fault?

The original iPhone has a different tint to the screen then the 3G iPhone. The 3G iPhone has a yellower tint to it but whites are pretty much white, where as the original has a blueish tint to it.

  • IPhone Screen Brightness

    I don't know if anyone else has noticed it, but it seems like different iphones have different screen brightness. I compared my iphone with some iphones in the apple store and the screen was quite brigther at the max setting. Then I compared it with another person's iphone and my screen was slightly dimmer, or more "saturated" in color. Now, I have no problems with my screen. It is bright enough, but it just seems odd that the brightness of the screens is not the same throughout. Are my eyes are playing tricks on me or is this something that some of you have also observed?

    Your absolutely right I have also notice several differences in some iPhones. For example, the two that I have purchased a month apart from each other are dramatically different. I don't know how it happened but the one I got at launch had a soft screen that left discoloration marks, similar to a standard LCD screen, when a little finger pressure was applied. The battery life indicator rarely reached full charge. Additionally, the multi-touch grid points can clearly be seen behind black backgrounds i.e. the home screen. I also experienced glitches with the unit from day one. Mainly application hang-ups which left me little choice but a hard reset. A total of 16 hard reset since June 29. After attempting the software update (which I thought would cure all ills) earlier this week, the unit hung up on the boot logo for good. So after 30-days with this unit I returned to the 5th Avenue and asked that the unit be exchanged. They said no, they could only send it out for repair. I simply reasoned that it was illogical to repair an already defective item. The manager agreed and kindly swapped the unit for me.
    All I could say is...Wow! I didn't know what I was missing. This new unit has a hard screen with no grid points, battery OK, Apps seem to be more responsive, and no hang-ups so far. Good luck to all.

  • Screen brightness& colour change.

    Hi.
    I have 2 imacs - a 24" inch (purchased Nov 2007 (Aluminium version)) and a 21" inch iMac (Purchased Summer 2009).
    Since I've owned it, the smaller 21" imac has an extremely annoying and noticable colour and brightness difference when the screen is tilted up/down or turned left/right, similar to an old laptop screen.
    As a photographer, this makes editing photos almost impossible. Unless I'm sat in exactly the same position for every single photo, and the imac isn't moved, even viewing the same image can be totally different.
    Is this normal? My 24" imac (2 years older) doesn't do this at all.
    I do have Apple Care, so should I get it booked in and checked? The screen issue makes using it for work very difficult.
    Can anyone shed any light on this? (Bad joke, sorry!). Thanks.

    Hi LBS
    It's right there in the Spec's, the 24" Display has a greater viewing angle.
    The Mid 2007 spec's > http://support.apple.com/kb/SP16
    The Early 2009 spec's > http://support.apple.com/kb/SP507
    Then the Late 2009 > http://support.apple.com/kb/SP576 where the 21.5 is suppose to have the better viewing angle, but I dough that it is as good as the earlier 24" or 27" models.

  • Screen Brightness on iphone 4s

    My iphone 4s has had a problem after i upgraded to ios 6 , the screen can be at one moment fully readable with the adjustment on brightness set to the middle ,,and then its light is off , checking the brightness its reset itself to no brightness , this happens with the auto switched on or off , i have hard reset the iphone , used itunes to do a restore and have set it up as a new iphone but the problem will not go away. Even on the charger i have the brightness set to mid way and when i take the phone off the charger the brightness bar moves to no brightness , i have one time had the screen on the brightness settings and watched the brightness bar lower to no brightness , this is with the auto brightness option switched off , this also happens with the auto brightness switched on as well.
    All these problems happened after upgrading to ios 6 , the one thing i did notice after the first upgrade was the screen itself had a higher brightness than before , now the phone mostly sits at home as i cannot use the iphone as the screen brightness changes so much its become a pain to use , so i have to use my wifes samsung galaxy s3 , any ideas on how to sort this problem out or is it a trip to the apple store to get a new iphone 4s ?

    I've upgraded to iOS 7 and I have the issue on an iPhone 4S. I can't remember this happening on iOS 6, but there may have been one or two occassions where it did. So, with regards to Julia98765's post above, in my case it just got a whole lot worse with iOS 7, much as I love everything else about it!
    The screen starts off on my normal brightness level (auto is off), and then anywhere between a few minutes to just a few seconds, the screen goes totally dark, like it has been slid to the minimal brightness setting. From then on, the screen fluctuates wildy, sometimes snapping back to full normal brightness, but mostly just dim flickering until it decides to settle down in its dim state, or if it has been locked for a few minutes by which time it is showing normal brightness levels again.
    Then the whole thing repeats itself. This happens in one form or another pretty much every time I use my phone! The only thing I haven't tried yet is restoring the phone through iTunes so will give that a go and report back soon.

  • Iphone 6 screen brightness problem

    hello everybody, i have iphone 6 which i am using now for 2 and half months. just from 1 week ago my iPhone 6 screen suddenly goes dim when I'm using it in strong sunny light. i always set my auto brightness on and when i use my phone in sunny light at roof first it gives clear and bright display then suddenly screen goes dim and when i try to maximise brightness level nothing happens it still remains dim and i notice my screen becomes very warm .. then i turn off my phone for few minutes and turn it on the screen brightness again works fine...and auto brightness also works normal..i have noticed this problem 2,3 times whenever i use it in sunny light at the roof..plz give me any suggestion....
      iphone 6, 64 gb model iOS version 8.1.2

    It's a google maps app setting. I agree, it is highly annoying and I have no idea why they put that setting into the app without the option to change it. I did a 600 mile trip with google maps and the auto screen dimming feature was awful.

  • My iphone screen showed green colours then reset when I went into facebook after a random email address had replaced mine? I reset it, then it went back to normal but has anyone had this problem?

    Hello Sean,
    It sounds like you are constantly needing to restore your phone because it keeps going into recovery mode. Usually putting a device into recovery mode and restoring it can help isolate an issue to your iPhone hardware if an issue persists afterwards. I would try manually putting it into recovery mode and restoring it 1 more time:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    If that does not resolve it the symptoms indicate to me that it is a hardware issue causing this to happen and would seek service for it:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,

  • HELP! My iphone screen is faded

    Today my iphone screen looks cloudy and all the colour is faded. Ive tried resetting the phone and adjusting the brightness, with no results. It is so faded it is hard to see everything.
    Any solutions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Did you try to restore "as new phone" ? Do not use your backup, it might contain files causing this problem. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If still no luck, contact Apple or see your next Apple Store to get it serviced.

  • How can I get rid of the dark area on top one third of my iphone screen which spoils my background image?

    How can I get rid of the dark area on top one third of my iphone screen which spoils my background image?
    It seems this problem is caused by the software to increase the readibility of upper letters (clock battery etc.) It be nice to leave us the control of choosing background letter color too if we are using brighter images or darker images.
    I'm using iphone 4s and it appeared after I updated to new patch. 7.1.1.
    Thanks,

  • Nokia Lumia 1520 - Screen Brightness Problem

    I  have two Nokia Lumia 1520.
    Both of them have the same problem. I will explain the problem to you in detail and before that let me assure you I am a Windows Phone long time user , have been part of the development , developed several apps for the platform and I have used Lumia 800 , 720 , 920 , 925 and now 1520. So I am well aware of all the settings , sunlight readability , automatic brightness etc. This problem is not due to any of these , I can assure you
    Now the problem , 
    I set the automatic brightness option OFF
    I move the brightness to HIGH
    Then I lock the phone
    When I unlock the phone , the brightness drops by 10% suddenly without any intervention
    This problem happens sometime. Some days I see this problem , some days I don't and there are few days where I see this problem very heavily.
    I purchased another 1520 and it has the same problem. I am very sure , from my experience that this is a firm ware issue. This is NOT a hardware problem , but a serious problem from your software end. It is prudent that Nokia recognizes this problem and finds a solution to this. Interestingly , I am not the only one who is facing this problem , the whole globe is facing the same problem and for such a pricey phone , this is a frustrating experience - very frustrating. I am sending some links , which will show the problems users are facing:

    The phone is rock solid and amazing except this irritating problem. 
    I have only few days within which I can request a exchange from the merchant. So if any Nokia official can confirm that a software fix is on the way , it would be super helpful 
    Nokia , please help !
    Moderator's note: We have removed the IMEI numbers. Posting of personal information is not allowed in this forum for security purposes.

    I have Nokia Lumia 1520 Black.
    I have also been facing the same problem with screen brightness.
    The problem occurs only when the Brightness is in Automatic mode.
    --> When the Brightness is set to Automatic mode & take out from dark location to bright location the display turns out to weird grey color.
    --> And then if the brightness is set to low, medium or high display comes to normal.
    Is this issue related to the hardware or software.
    If it is related to the Software will you be able to fix it ? or else How about the replacing with the new one ?
    Awaiting for the response.

  • IPhone 5 brightness permanently reduced (Please help, voltage issue??)

    Hello,
    I really need someone with high expertise to help me. Obviously i appreciate any help given but please dont say point less comment like reboot the phone or turn autobrightness off.
    Here is the issue:
    I have had several iPhones, right from the first to the 5. Lucky me. But i have always had the same issue. The screen brightness is significantly lower than any other iPhone that I compare it to.
    Now i have the iPhone 5, if i compare it to anyone elses the brighness is much lower. Autobrightness is off. When i first got the iPhone the brightness was like everyone elses.
    i only use the official charger. I think there may be a problem with the voltage or the electricity in my home as all my iPhones have had this problem. Im not sure when the change happens but the something is damaging the backlight of my iPhones. No idea what.
    Please can some one with the same issue or knowledge of physics please help me. I dont want to keep having this issue. I also have a Macbook pro and am fairly sure its happned with this also but have no means of comparison as I dont know any one else with one that comes to my apartment.
    Regards
    Fahad

    The iPhone 5 has full Warranty. Make Genius reservation and take to Apple Store. Show the Genius the problem and they will replace your iPhone 5 with a perfect iPhone 5 without problems. If some of iPhone 5 have this problem, it does not matter, Apple makes millions of iPhone 5, some are going to have a problem. When the Genius gives you the new replacement iPhone 5 test it out in the Apple Store before you leave, so you are happy and do not waste anymore of your time.

  • Q10 screen brightness is very dim in dark environmen​t

    In a dark environment the screen dims so much that reading text on a white background is terrible.  Is there a going to be an update to stop the auto brightness feature?

    You're not the only one. This is a severe issue that will hamper sales for sure. The BlackBerry Q10's maximum brightness is the DIMMEST out of every other phone on the market today.
    IN FACT, the maximum brightness on the Q10 is 22% the maximum brightness of the iPhone 5 (in lumens): http://www.computerbase.de/artikel/handys/2013/bla​ckberry-q10-im-test/3/
    BlackBerry is already getting a ton of flak for this issue, as many, MANY users are furious. See this comparison with the Bold 9930: http://forums.crackberry.com/blackberry-q10-f272/v​ery-dull-screen-brightness-level-q10-808915/index5​...
    There is also a few news articles circulating: http://www.newstimeafrica.com/archives/31992
    I will be returning my BlackBerry Q10 tomorrow to Verizon Wireless for a full refund. Back to the Bold 9930 until a PROFESSIONAL product is released. I don't even mind straying away from BlackBerry at this point. Not making brightness control available to the consumer is a violation of trust.

  • Iphone 5 brightness not working at all on IOs 6.0.2

    i had my iphone 5 for three weeks now and i just noticed that my screen brightness doesnt change at all
    niether manually and nor automatic
    i tried to calibrate it using the automatic in the dark then revealing it to the light.. tried soft reset and hard reset.. but my brightness wont go down.. its the maximum even when i put the slider to the farest left. .. im hoping its not a hardware defect..
    please help..

    The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
    Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup...  Restore as New...
    If you try all these Steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
    Be sure to make an appointment first...

  • Weird darkened spot on iPhone screen

    Few days ago I've noticed a weird yellow/darkened spot on my iPhone screen on the right side, around the SIM card. I have no idea where it came from... I didn't hit it against anything or drop it. There are no signs of damage. When the phone is on you can notice the darkened yellow color on lighter backgrounds.
    This weird spot on the screen it get brighter with more use. When the iPhone was cold it was not present.
    So what are the chances of me getting this fixed under warranty or AppleCare?
    TNX a lot for the good thoughts :-)

    I would take it to Apple and see what they say.  Worst they can say is that it's not covered under warranty.  Personally, it sounds like a screen defect to me, but only Apple will know for sure.

  • Adjust screen brightness Windows 10

    I have a HP Spectre x360 - 13-4009na  and have just upgraded to Windows 10. The problem is I cannot alter the screen brightness using any of the usual methods. - The fn buttons do not work- There is no brightness control displayed on the Control panel - Power Options- The Calibrate Display Colour method fails with an error while "... preparing to calibrate ..." - "Unspecified error". So my display is set to high brightness and I cannot change it. Please can someone help? Thanks, Paul. 

    Omg, I had the same issue too.  I kinda tried changing it with the AMD driver (that I had to re-install after the Windows 10 update) it was pre-installed when I first got my laptop, anyway besides the point, I used it and it kinda changes your brightness, but not the same way as using your brightness control buttons to. I hope that helps much, It didnt exsctly satisfy me. But the AMD driver (if you have a laptop) is a great driver that runs your graphics really smoothly

  • IPhone 5 brightness adjustment

    Since short, iPhone 5 does not allow to change the brightness, neither in general settings nor inside the app like e.g. iBOOKS (although AUTO brightness in settings disabled). Screen stays very bright and the battery is drained fast. Strange enough - if I open the KINDLE app, I can adjust the screen brightness to very dark. Recently changed battery. Currently on IOS 8.0.2., reading the community I was a bit afraid to update to 8.1.1. Tried restart, reset, back to the factory settings. Anyone has an idea about where the problem can be resp. how to solve it? Thanks, Ales

    No current way to adjust the gain. I hope this will be added really soon since I am unable to use my new phone at work becuase people complain about the backgorund noise.
