My Samsung Galaxy S6 screen has a yellow tint?

[AC Question]

My Samsung Galaxy s6 screen has a yellow tint?

This barely started happening. I turned on my phone and it was kind of yellowish. My background is just plain black and even that looks like it's yellow on my home screen. I don't have auto brightness on and I have an adaptive display. I tried changing my displays to AMOLED and all the other ones and it was still yellowish. I turned it off and on twice and it was still like that. It seems to be yellow only when I'm on vertical mode, because every time I turn it sideways it goes back to normal. So far all apps are like that, except the settings. When I go to my settings, even if it's vertical, it's not yellowish. The yellow is very apparent and annoying.

Try booting the phone into Safe Mode. If the 'tint' is there, it would look more like a hardware issue than software. BUT an user recently had a similar issue and this seemed to help. You can also try to clear cache from Recovery Mode.

Yes, I saw that yesterday and was going to take the question down, but didn't know how. I saw that thread and booted it into safe mode and when I went back to normal mode, it was gone.

Well, there you go! Glad it helped too! I wonder what caused it, though...
