Hello all, after getting my LG G4 yesterday I have noticed the screen on my unit exhibits a yellowish tint, especially whites look too yellow for my liking. Now, because of Boot-gate I don't want to root it this early just in case ( although I have a 607 serial number so chances of that happening are significantly smaller.)

So I researched some fixes, tested some apps and came to the conclusion that https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.uk.quickdoc.screenbalance app is the best solution if you are not rooted.

Because, unlike all other apps, it is not an overlay but rather uses the built-in accessibility service baked into android, it is much more accurate, is system wide ( so yes, the virtual buttons as well!) and is more energy efficient.

Now the problem is that functionality is pretty limited if you are not on the pro version. By any means , use ''your way'' to get the app because I love to support devs but asking 3 euros is just too much for a very simple app. Please support the developer however because without him we would not have had this amazing solution

My settings are as follows: (Please note that the screenshots are not INDICATIVE of the real thing, in real life it is much less blue.)


Before and after ( sorry for horrible pics from TF300t lol)
Before and After



Feel free to post your configuration as this is still not perfect, I would love to see them and try them out to come to that perfectly calibrated white balance :D

Tips and tricks: Use the LG G4's feature to pin the app, this way the app will stay even when you clear all
... ( add suggestions I will add them)

Hello Xdekker I got same problem too. Thanks for ur conclusion. I have SN 607 too and bought from Europe. Maybe our G4 production in same batch.

Then I downloaded the app, pin and block the notification. Its look much better now. I hope LG update the system to add white control in the developer option just like Nexus 5X.

Sorry for my bad English...
