Note9 Yellowish screen/tint, started happening a few weeks ago

[Phone_User56]

Hi.

Recently my screen seemed to be a bit more yellowish than it used to be. I also compared it to another phone.

I have Night mode/Blue light filter disabled (in Google Play Books, too).

This is kinda annoying, and I can notice it on my Home screen background, too.

You can see this especially when swiping-down the menu and having settings (or some other app in dark mode) opened.

How to fix this permanently? Is Samsung working on a fix if it was an update issue?

@Phone_User56: Sorry to hear that you're experiencing this issue. If you go to Settings > Software Update, are any updates available that might address this issue? Similarly, if you go to Settings > Biometrics and Security > Other Security Settings > Security Policy Update, is option toggled on? 

If no updates are available, can you try going to Settings > Display > Screen Mode > White Balance, and moving the slider to the left to see if this helps. Also, if you tap on Advanced Settings and have a play around with the Red Green and Blue sliders, do you notice an improvement?

Didn't help

Is Samsung even working on this or do they want us to buy new phones? Can I get a response at least from an official moderator or admin?

That yellowish tint is a well-known issue and Samsung acts like they don't know anything about it. I wouldn't say if I had a 10-year-old phone, but not a 2 year old one.

You may have got a corrupted download but easily fixed by backing the phone up to your Samsung account or do a backup to your computer using Samsung Smart Switch, then do a factory reset

Hope this helps
