Purple Hue Screen

[Dreamspell]

My Icon's display goes purple, especially in grey areas such as the keyboard, when the display goes into the very low brightness mode while using the automatic mode.

I'm on 8.1. I see that the same issue existed before on the Lumia 900 - Nokia reportedly has identified the purple-hue screen issue for Lumia 900, will fix with future update | Windows Phone Central

Anyone else have this issue?

 

[quantum tao]

yes when set to low automatic, and only while scrolling

I've posted this in the Nokia forums, it seems to be firmware related issue with the sensor and its color profile.

By the way, it got fixed with the Verizon firmware update a while back, 1028.3566.1417.0047.

I am still on WP8.1 never downgraded to obtain the update. I wonder if the update will be pushed to 8.1 when Verizon releases it?

You can get it on the 8.1 DP now - Verizon is delivering new firmware for Lumia Icon owners using 8.1 Preview for Developers | Windows Phone Central

I am currently on that firmware version and still have the problem. Are you on 8.1 DP?

I am on 8.0.10521.155

Yes I am. Try changing your display color profile to this:



Let me know if this helps.

No that doesn't help it. I think it got fixed in 8.1? I am not sure though, but I am wondering if it is all the ICON's or just a limited number.

Yes I am. Try changing your display color profile to this:

I'm on 8.0 latest firmware and I had that same issue. Only on scrolling. White text on black background. That color change worked for me.

I'm just wondering if people don't notice it, or they don't have this problem. Like should I bring it back?

For me it didn't happen on 8.0, it only happened on 8.1. It's a software issue for sure since it's not happening on my Icon anymore. The only 2 things that I changed was the display color profile and update the firmware, and I both did around the same time which is why i'm not sure what exactly cured it.

It should be fixed with Cyan or a display app update, but I wouldn't hold my breath since the 930 seems to be suffering from it too.

I have a Lumia Icon and have this issue on the screen, are like weird lines that are more visible on gray colors and on the camera the appears like pink/purple color, also the black colors background is like a red tint black not pure black. I downgrade to Windows 8.0 BlackWP8.1 Denim but on both have the same issue, Someone knows if its the screen(hardware) or the software?

I think those are just manufacturing defects inherent in AMOLED displays. They all seem to have it to some extent unfortunately. The red tint is a firmware issue. There is another thread on it. Hopefully it will get fixed when Windows 10 Mobile is released.

I saw this with Windows 10. I went into Extras > Display and adjusted the brightness and brought it way down. I found the display was oversatured bright and knocking the brightness down made it normal. Also, I changed the color to "Vivid" from standard.
