Color differences, android vs laptop and iphone

I developed a logo for an app I'm going to create. The problem is that on my phone the color is WAY off...like NEON.

I checked it on my Samsung Galaxy S3 and S4 and the same thing. On my son's iPhone, its accurate. On two laptops its accurate. I even took a screen shot of my laptop and emailed it to myself, then checked it on my phone....same thing. Then I used my camera on my phone and pointed it to my laptop screen...same thing....neon. So I'm thinking its either all Androids (because I have no other android device besides Samsungs) or its just Samsung phones.

What is the best way to approach this? The color is very important in my design and neon just looks gaudy.

Here is a link to the image. View it on your phone and on the laptop and tell me what you think on how I could fix this. I know I'm developing for Android so maybe I need to adjust the color specifically for android. But if anyone has something other than Samsung and let me know how it displays vs the laptop I'd really appreciate any input.

UPDATE

Thank you for all your answers. It's kind of a pain because I can't even capture the color to show you what I see because it just doesn't appear that way in anything else. So here's what I did...

I decided to hold my phone up to my laptop and try to color pick what I saw. This is as close as I could get to what I see on the Samsung
HTML COLOR: #6CE24D

So essentially that is what it looks like on my phone, but with a touch of blue to it, but this displays the "neon" brightness that I'm seeing.....but I'm happy with the way it looks in the laptop, however, maybe I should use a different color for the android application that more mimics what I see on the laptop, especially since its an android app :)
