There is a bug in One UI 6 that turns the screen yellow on Samsung mobile phones

Users reported on Samsung’s official forum that a bug in One UI 6 was causing “Eye comfort protection” to be automatically enabled. Problem It causes the screen to turn yellow at a certain time of day, even if the function is disabled.

According to the report, the screen displayed images normally until 5.30pm when an orange filter was applied to the entire screen. Restart the mobile phone, Changing the settings or even resetting the device to factory settings would not fix the problem.

In one of the answers, a user explained that the problem lies with Android’s native “Night Lighting” feature. The function is equivalent to Samsung’s “Eye comfort protection” function, but cannot be controlled via the manufacturer’s interface.

In the same reply, the user added a 2018 Reddit post that suggested a solution: installing Nova Launcher. In the alternative interface, users will be able to directly change Android’s “Night Lighting” preferences, preventing the filter from being applied at night.

Once set up in the app, Nova Launcher can be deleted from the device but the preferences will be preserved.
