It's fixed by a restart, but it seems to happen once every few days, and almost always while I'm using Netflix or another video streaming service. Anyone else had this issue?

How does it change with brightness? Looks like the green tint issue that OLEDs sometimes have. I'd get it replaced if I were you.

Hmm, that was actually the one thing I didn't test, but yeah, I think I'll ship it off to be repaired under warranty

Update: it just did it again and I was able to test it. Changing the brightness does nothing, however it does make the screen turn black for about a second after I take my finger off the brightness slider

[–] AlmightySnoo 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah I'd really return it, your screen is obviously faulty.

I was going to say the same thing. I was on Android 14 beta and when I was using Netflix, my screen turned green. I restarted the phone and it was fixed. Used the phone for days no issue, I started using Netflix and green again. Now I'm using stable android 14 and as for now, I haven't experienced this when using Netflix

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Sounds like an HDR issue.

Netflix uses HDR and it triggers the bug.

It did it to me when I was on android 13 too. I've never used an android beta version so the issue is definitely still present

[–] painfulasterisk 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nevermind. I just got the green tint screen again. I guess I'll have to contact Google and see how I can proceed and return this device. I have around one more month under warranty.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I contacted them and they told me they'll replace it under warranty, but it takes up to 2 weeks to get sorted and I don't really have another functional phone I can use in the meantime

[–] painfulasterisk 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Was this through the Google store, Google Fi, or carrier? If I'm not mistaken, I bought my phone through the Google store.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I bought it outright through a local store but contacted Google directly since they issued the warranty

[–] painfulasterisk 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the information

Happened to me today using Netflix. First time. I rarely watch Netflix on my phone.

It's crazy this post exists today of all days.

It's happened to me a few times before today as well

Do you have your Display Color setting set to anything but natural?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I have them on ~~vivid~~ adaptive

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Could that be glitched and overcorrecting?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Potentially. I'll have a look into it
