Lines on the screen

Any body else has this issue? I have thick vertical lines at the bottom of my
AMOLED sreen on the Galaxy Nexus.
They only show when the screen brightness are on low.
Should I get it changed under warranty?

This is pretty common with amoled screens, I wouldn't worry about it, its completely normal, and is only visible in dark rooms with brightness on low. Just be glad you don't have the blobs as well like all of the T-mobile Galaxy S2s have.

Cheers cbutters

yup. Mine is the same. Any replacement would likely be v similar. Forget about it.

I still think it's b.s. that for this new "Super AMOLED HD" screen that they downgraded from RGB and went back to pentile. Granted, they increased the resolution & dpi...
Apparently though, we'll have to wait until the next generation Samsung phones(after the Nexus) before they'll give us phones with "Super AMOLED HD Plus" that will be true RGB with high res & dpi.

SAMOLED. Just the way it is with whites.
That's the tradeoff for ridiculously black blacks.

I have a wide lighter coloured band horizontel across screen. Can see it when scrolling on lowest brightness. Auto mode in dark room etc. Cant see the vertical bands normally. Your eyes fix on the horizontel one while scrolling though. A replacement unit might be worse though. Grrrr.... ? Seems they all have these lighter or darker bands to some degree.

Faulty Camera?

Noticed a white fading band at the top of my camera image. Here is a screen grab where u can see what I'm taking about. It fades son its hard to tell if its even all the way across as some sort of UI design or if its my camera being faulty/ shifted out of position . Any thoughts?

Wow. I see it. Took me awhile to figure it out. My phone has the same thing. It might be normal or a theme thing. Lets see what other people have to say.

I have this as well, it seems more pronounced when viewed on the phone but when you look at the screengrab on the pc, you can barely notice it.
Also i tried taking a picture of what was in the viewfinder and the picture comes out as pure black, with no fading band. I'm assuming this is a software issue rather than a faulty camera or bad camera placement.
Have you noticed when you take a picture in low light and then click on the thumbnail on the right and start moving the screen around the edges of the photo go all weird ?

I also have this, I think this is just a frame around camera app.

[Q] Color banding ?

When running LCD Tester i noticed color banding on the gradient color screens.
I can also notice this on the default UI of sense especially on the grey buttons.
It looks like in this picture (on the keys)
BTW it's not from my own phone, it's just an example of how it looks in real life on the screen of my One X

Hey,
if the banding can really be seen on the screenshots, the assets just aren't better. But if it is not, it's either the rendering or the screen itself (trying to figure out which one it is atm). To be honest I fear it's the screen itself.

The screenshots aren't from my actual phone, but i used them because in real life on my One X screen it looks like the screenshots

I have this banding too.
You can see it in a completely dark room on the settings screen of quickpic for example.
If you do a screenshot of it an look the picture on the PC you can't see the banding.
EDIT: After Update to 1.28.401.9 the steps from the banding are thinner and better (use quickpic settings page)

Made a screenshot of the Quickpic settings screen,
you can clearly see the banding, so its the software.
Haven't seen any banding issues on the HTC One X yet.
See pic where I increased the contrast:

[Q] Thin green line at the bottom of the screen

Hello,
I'm having a, most probably, hardware issue with my GSM Galaxy Nexus. At the bottom of the screen, there's a thin green line that shows pretty much at any given point, when the screen is turned on. Here's the picture of it:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
There are some known issues with white pixels being displayed as green (due to the PenTile matrix?) at the edges of the screen. For me, most notably, while using the FBreader app.
But this is not the case here - It shows itself at all times, even on the 'Google' splash screen during boot.
While displaying full screen content, like YouTube clips, in place of the green line, there is a line of pixels showing the content, but with very high contrast and warped colors.
Overall, the screen has no other issues.
If anyone has experience with it, is there a way to fix it, outside of warranty return?
Additional info:
It is the GSM version of GNex. I run AOKP build 5 currently with their default CPU/GPU settings. As far as I can recall, the issue started a month or two after the purchase. It seemed to come and go, and now is permanent.
Thanks for any help, ironhalik.

Update: After flashing stock image, jzo54k from Google, the issue is still there.

Yeah, that's a hardware problem if it shows up whenever the screen is on.

Seems pretty hardware related, Idk about you but I love messing with the software of a phone, but I rather just use warranty for hardware stuff..
Gud luck

I had it too, sended it to Samsung, they replaced the screen under warranty. Took 8 days. Received a much better screen, white was much better with low brightness. Very satisfied with the service.

[Q] Top part of the screen brightness issue

Hello everyone. I'm new here
I'm a new user of the LG G4. Quite happy with it right now. But I have a problem that I'm not sure if it's an issue or not.
On the top side of the screen (notification bar) I see a brighter light on the top that diffuse down (I don't know how to explain it)
I tried to take photos of it, but it doesn't appreciate too much. (I tried editing the contrast in the first one to make it more visible)

I wonder if anyone have this issue too, if it's normal or not. Thanks in advance.

Lol. This is by design.

That could be screen bleed where the LCD isn't bonded properly and allows addition light in from the backlight. I would compare with other G4s and get it replaced if needed.
If they give you crap about returning it just tell them the headphone port is randomly staticy.

Try to test it with full black baground with dead pixel test app from play store and on dark room.
Before try this go to settings and do the navigation buttons invisible to dead pixel app to test all screen. If you see very much light bleed then you must go to replace it. If you no then keep your phone and n'joy because you can say it normally. Many ips screens had this bleed.
If you don't want this your only way is Amoled.

Thanks for all your answers. I wasn't sure if that was normal, because I come from a S4 with Amoled and didn't have this issue. But for what I'm reading, it is normal. I think I would try to find other G4 and see if that happens too.

I have an LG G4
Funny thing is last night i noticed the exact same thing when i realised all the icons on the notification bar had burnt into my screen up there too which got me worried, maybe its all LG G4's maybe just ours but im not happy at all
