Solved Weird screen colour temperature issue - Oneplus 8T TMO variant
-
Since the most recent update, I've developed an issue where on certain parts of pages my screen will switch to a warm color temp. It gives everything a slight yellow tinge to pages. It's only happening in Vivaldi. Not sure if anyone else has seen this.
-
Saw this post on reddit, of someone having a similar issue with Chrome on a Oneplus device.

If you're unable to open the link for whatever reason, this was the workaround.
go to url "chrome://flags". Find "#dynamic-color-gamut" and set to "disabled"

Same thing on poco x3. Turning screen on off sometimes fixes it. But it only happens with vivaldi

@Notamoosen Same here on oneplus 8 pro til now no addresal from official team

@Gwen-Dragon Thank you. I have submitted it as a bug.

Same problem here, but weirder.
Vivaldi 3.5.2115.51
OnePlus 6 (A6003), Android OxygenOS 10.3.7, Build QKQ1.190716.003
The issue is present since the last update I think (my phone updated the app yesterday).
The issue mostly appears randomly: when firing up the keyboard, or changing page, or changing tabs, or opening the settings. The screen temp changes in both ways: sometimes warmer, sometimes colder.
Even weirder, the screen temp change also extends outside Vivaldi: once "activated", it stays on the home screen, on other apps etc. The only "deterministic" way I found to reset the color temp was locking/unlocking the phone.
Due to its occurrence outside of Vivaldi, I don't think we can exclude it being an Android (or OxygenOS?) bug, that is triggered by Vivaldi somehow.
I didn't find the bug on a bug tracker, so reporting it here. -
I am on a OnePlus 6T with the same version of Vivaldi and OxygenOS, but I have never seen this issue.
Maybe it is dependent on some setting? Did you change anything in the
Displaysection of settings? -
Further "testing":
If I go on https://www.theverge.com, the screen appears normal.
If I click on one of the article, https://www.theverge.com/2020/12/6/22155611/price-ps5-xbox-series-x-nvidia-rtx-3080-3070-3090-3060-amd-rx-6800-xt-scalpers-ebay, the screen turns yellowish, like if the phone was in "Night mode" but on steroids.
If I scroll down, the yellowish tint continues until I reach one of the embedded tweets; then, the screen turns back to normal.
If I scroll further down, the yellowish tint comes back.
If I go back to https://www.theverge.com, the screen turns back to normal.
And, if I exit the app and go to the home screen, then the yellowish tint is kept.Note that this is just one example of a website that does this: every website I've surfed on in the past few days, is susceptible to changes in screen temperature when changing websites or changing pages. So this is quite annoying.
I'm thus pretty sure now that this is a Vivaldi bug, as every other browser I have (Chrome 86.0.4240.198, Firefox 83.1.0, Opera mobile 61.1.3076.56625, Qwant 3.5.0) work just fine. Also, when I open a webpage in another app, and the WebView content is powered by Vivaldi (like in Gmail or Messenger), then the temperature bug also occurs.
In terms of settings on my phone:
- Vivaldi is set to use dark theme/phone theme (which is dark too); websites are not in dark theme.
- Phone has night mode automatically activated; when non-activated, the screen calibration is "vivid". The above experience was done when night mode on; when night mode off, the screen temperature still changes, except that the bug is a bit less intense and the screen becomes warmer when hovering the tweet and appear normal elsewhere (or maybe the temperature is inverted, i.e. becomes blueish?).
Anyway, given the above, I don't think the problem is on the phone side, but rather on the Vivaldi side (or, at least, Vivaldi triggered some bugs).
Should I report this as a separate bug? I can still try out things with it.
(PS: don't get this wrong - I love Vivaldi, which is why I'd like to have this bug squashed so that I can love it better

I have the exact same issue on my Asus Zenfone 6. I've managed to prevent it from occurring by changing the color mode setting in my phone's display settings from wide color gamut to standard.

@Tramdan I can confirm setting screen calibration to natural worked on the 8T as well.

Hi,
Please update the VB info with the received eMail adding this finding about Colour Temp.
Thank you.

I just wanted to chime in that the issue is still present on my 8T with 3.6 update. The workaround I previously posted does still work though.
