Screen Tint issue and AOD issue after Oreo update?

[PsiPhiDan]

sure hope it works out for you after some display tweaks

It required a full reset. No tweaks would make it even remotely usable, haha.

My friend had this issue on an S8 after Oreo. It started by dismissing a dialog box when launching Google Play Books then opening a book. The dialog was asking something about Blue Light mode. Dismissing apparently caused a default to Blue Light mode and Always Enable. But, we could not find a way to get back to those settings in Google Play Books. Using the system setting to turn off did not work and turning on made screen colors worse. So, we uninstalled the Google Play Books app, restarted phone. Still bad colors at this point. Next, we re-installed app. After opening app and then selecting a book the same dialog box appeared. We selected Settings this time and turned the slider to OFF for Blue Light mode. Now, the Blue Light mode is off for the app and the rest of the phone screens outside of the app. Everything seems like correct colors again.

Even if you do not use Google Play Books, maybe this process will unstick a setting for you.

This worked! Thank you!!!

GPB fixed it for me. This is so bizarre! But it's like my screen is what it should be. Thank you!

Try wiping the cache partition in Recovery Mode. If that doesn't work back up your device and perform a hard factory reset.

Thanks for your tip. I noticed that mine dimmed at 8:50 PM. I just went into Google play books and opened a book. Tapped on the Aa font adjustment at the top right. Clicked on settings and under status the button was on. I click it off and the message changed to say will turn on automatically at 8:50 PM. My screen returned to normal. Clicked on "Turn on automatically" the first option on the list and then never. That fixed it!

Came across this on another article and this worked perfectly for me:

Using Nova Launcher app
You should disable the Night Light feature with help from Activities option in the Nova Launcher.

Install the Nova launcher.
Press and hold on the blank area on the home screen to bring up a menu.
Tap on Widgets.
Press and hold on Activities option at the top, and drag it to anywhere on the home screen.
Scroll down and press the drop-down button for Settings app.
Find the Night Light feature and tap on it.
You will now have a shortcut on the home screen to turn on and off the Night Light feature. Tap on it to open Night Light menu.
Disable the Night Light by using the toggle button.
You can now uninstall the Nova Launcher.

Thanks! this has helped me fixing tint issue on my Galaxy Tab S3!
