Does everyone's phone have that backlight bleeding at the top of the screen? Or is it a defect?

Mine isn't like that at all. But I have an AMOLED from April 2, 2010. Got it on launch day April 29th.

Should I get this one replaced as well? I don't want to go through the trouble of getting another one if all of the phones are going to have it.

It's actually not as bad as it looks in that picture. Still annoying nonetheless.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

That's really typical of a lot of LCD screens.

yeah all the slcd are going to have it to some extent...

Hmm. I don't have that. I must have an AMOLED.

I don't have it at all... I'm fairly sure I have an AMOLED as well.

So a 0002 means amoled?

I'm pretty sure

It's pretty easy to tell by looking.
If text is slightly fuzzy and has coloured fringing, it's amoled. Also if you open a white screen, like those torch apps, you'd see a thin strip of colour at the very left and right edges of the screen.
If it's a nice cr+sp image, it's lcd.

Hardware version ending in a 2 is AMOLED, 3 is SLCD.
Cool, I got an slcd a week ago, then failed at rooting. So I traded in my slcd and got an amoled back 3 days ago. Amoled is much better then slcd for movement and color

Are you a troll? The screen is HD Super AMOLED+, the best there is right now.

No, the screen is Super AMOLED HD. There is no + because its Pentile.
Also, its less "smooth" shall we say, than my Droid Charge which was Plus, I'll agree there.
But the overall density makes it good enough, and better than my Fascinate. SIGNIFICANTLY better than any qHD screen I've used on a Motorola.
Just my two cents. Maybe you got a bad phone? Or maybe you really are just a troll...

HD Super Amoled actually.
But it does seem this person is a troll.
And I haven't noticed any screen issues on my Verizon GN.
Our screen is 1280 x 720, Razr's is 960 x 540.
The screen doesn't come close to my SII but it's not that bad. It's worth it to be away from Sprint.
Sorry guys I had my facts wrong. I t turns out that my screen is defective. Sucks, gotta return it already

What was wrong with your screen? If you don't mind me asking. So far no problems for me, but I want to know what to look for.
I had a persistent green blob on the upper right of the screen of my first Galaxy Nexus. It was quite visible on white and other light backgrounds but difficult to see otherwise.
Sorry for calling you a troll. Your post just seemed very strange since my screen is beautiful. And I just exchanged my Razr today.

(Q) HELP Weird screen color blue-ish/yellow tint

Yesterday a teacher of mine took my phone and when I got home the screen started to fizzle. It has a blue-ish tint now and washed out colors.
What can be the problem & how can it be fixed w/o going to sprint?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
Definitely a hardware issue. If you have TEP then it should be free to fix and 35 if not (bill the teacher lol). Take it to a sprint repair center.

The areas where I touch is regular, but the colors are all washed out or have a blue or yellow tint by default. My screen isn't cracked if you were thinking that.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
You actually give the phone to the teacher? Wow, much has changed since I've gone to school.
This is why I don't trust people with $500 phones...
Your best bet is to go though Sprint, like others have said.

Are there any bubbles on the screen? I'm trying to figure out if ur teacher dropped the phone and didn't tell u, or if they got any liquid in the phone. Because that sounds like a screen bleeding problem.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Since I'm in a nearly all girls semi-strict high school we could get suspensed or kicked out for not obeying the teachers(men are treated in my school like a black man in the 40s no rights at all) . And I'm thinking the teacher put pressure on the screen when he took it away from my friend, I seen him put it in his pocket with other people phones. When I approached him about it he denied it, which I knew he would do.

There's no bubbles it's just the color is so off

ok...yes, the screen has a bleeding problem. it's from the inner part of the screen. he put to much pressure on it. it's like when you press your finger on a computer screen and you get that funny discolorization... thats what happened. can you see the normal stuff on the screen though? or is there to much color on it?
this is a slight hardware problem that is sometimes fixable.

i totally agree, its photoshop.
who is the idiot who could render such a beautiful device (ics keys as capacitive at bottom) yet the app drawer icon looks like poo? i JUST learned cs4 2 weeks ago and i coulda done better with the icon...
Ok let's just say it is fake... But what if Samsung decides to make the ics buttons into capacitive buttons and not built in to the screen like the nexus? From my understanding they always **** up Android to their liking so I wouldn't put it past them. I'm sure (to them) anything is better to differentiate them from the rest.

I'm not a big fan of the on screen buttons anyway so I wouldn't mind that.

[Q] Can you fix a stuck pixel on AMOLED screen?

Just noticed on my phone earlier when i unlocked it that i hat a red dot near the bottom. Ran a pixel test i found on the market and it shows up on any background and my brightness setting doesn't affect it. Is there any way i can fix this?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Press hard on the screen where the stuck pixel is so the screen distorts in that area and hold for 10 or so seconds. Thats how ive done it for my lcd monitors and its worked.

That wouldn't work anyways cause the screen it under a hard glass cover. Also its not a true lcd screen its an oled screen

Maybe an app could be developed that uses the device gpu/cpu to mimic the effects of Pixel Tuneup?
I can't link because i'm new, but it's pixeltuneup[dot]com.
Just a thought. If this turns out to be a widespread issue, a simple app might be something people would pay a buck or two for. From what I understand, PT just puts out a calibrated video signal that is good at fixing pixel issues.
Ill have to give that a look and maybe contact the developer. Its not that bad of a problem but i always find myself staring at it lol
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
So does anyone else have a possible idea? I've looked all over Google recently and can't find much about fixing oled screens.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I supposed you've tried the screen calibrators that flash a whole bunch of colors. Thats would really be my only advice. If it doesn't work out a warranty replacement would be my last resort

Yea I've tried a few if those already and left each one run for about an hour. As for a replacement i wouldn't be able to do since i just got this one after my last one broke. Also I've have this phone for a little over one month or so :/

So why can't you get a replacement ? The phone is to be free of defects for a year, even if you already replaced it. Stuck pixels are a manufacturing defect which is covered under the warranty. If you got it in store, go back to the store. If you got it from 611 or online call the 1800 number and tell them.
Ah ok i see what you mean now. My next issue would be to find a stock 2.3.6 Rom
