Screen saturated colours when unlocking.

[niraj12]

Hi all,

I wanted to check if anyone else is having this issue. I have already factory reset but it didn't help.

When I wake up the screen, sometimes, the display colours are deeply saturated. The touch screen works fine and I can still navigate the UI but all colours are deep and saturated. Turning off the display and waking it up again resolves it. 

Because it happens randomly I don't think its a hardware issue. It also seems to have started a the same time as the last security patch.

I have tried turning off fingerprint unlock but that didn't help.

To clarify, this issue isn't related to dark mode, screen brightness or blue light filter.

The first picture below shows the phone screen correctly whilst the second picture shows the colours saturated.

Do you have adaptive lighting enabled?

[niraj12]

Adaptive lighting is switched off. I prefer to set the brightness myself

Mine does that occasionally can I ask do u restart your phone ar least once a week try this as it helps sometimes hold power vol down 🙏

[niraj12]

I restart my phone every two or three days. I also did a factory reset today and did not help. THe pictures make it look like the brightness has changed but actually its the colours that go really really deep. Oranges start to look almost black. A quick on and off fixes the screen so can't be sure its a hardware issue or a software issue when coming out of sleep

This turned out to be a hardware issue with the display panel. Panel replaced under warranty and all good
