Dirt and lines under screen

I noticed as soon as I turned my Nexus on today that there was a line across the screen that looked like dirt under the display.
It is only noticeable on low brightness but the auto brightness set the phone to minimum when I turned it on so I saw it. I can only also see it on bright backgrounds like the forum - it is not visible on dark backgrounds or the home screens.
Does anyone else have this issue? I will return it soon and get it replaced but I am wondering if this is widespread or I was just unlucky.
Try turning the brightness right down and looking at this page and see if you see any lines/marks under the glass.

I have a line as well but it's quite small so I'm not really bothered.

Few very feint lines here too. Setting phone to fixed second lowest brightness setting and they vanish though.

This issue is on the gs2's too.

if you go to every forum of a phone that launches you will see the same complaint. its a plague

I can also see two faint grey vertical lines on either side of the screen if I have a light (white) background and brightness settings 1-3!
I haven't come across any other issues, I only noticed it after reading this thread and now its in bugging me. But I love the handset.. better than I expected!
Are these lines normal or do I have a duff handset? I have a couple of weeks to change it if necessary but I am also aware of the stock availability due to high demand.
Anyone else in same situation (O2 UK handset)?

I have the same issue on the lowest brightness, but not on the highest. It is also very faintly noticeable on my SGS2 on the lowest brightness. On my Omnia 7 (samoled) it is also very visible on low brightness, I think it is an amoled thing.

Exactly even the iphones with it's tinting issues SGS2 with it's Blotches in the dark
and the glass isn't perfect around the bezel
people just look for this stuff

I don't understood if this lines means defective screen or if all phones will have this lines.

I have the same thing on my Galaxy Nexus. I guess it's just a thing with Super Amoled screens, rather than a defect.

+1 Just as I said in my post above I have 4 amoled screen devices and they all it to some effect. Do not worry, your phone is fine.

could someone please post a picture so i can see what you guys are talking about? i'm curious to see what it looks like since i don't notice this on the samoled screen on my nexus s.

I had that issue with 2 evo screens. I would also get dead pixels or blotches.. Just have to get lucky with one I guess.

why is fine if it seems to have a problem?
do you think that it is normal to have lines on the screen?
can you tell for sure that every phone have that lines?

I have the same thing on minimum brightness. Its best seen by using a white image as wallpaper and having nothing on your far left and far right home screens. I have many vertical lines. When I scroll the home screen all the way over to the left until I see the blue gradient appear, the gradient varies in shades exactly where the lines are.
I noticed it as soon as i first powered on the device, same as the OP, as it was set to minimum brightness but I dont generally notice it any other time. I dont recall having the same problem with my galaxy S2

transparent line on screen

Hi,
Ive seen a few other posts like this and was curious , at the moment i cant use auto brightness becouse if i do this transparant line becomes quite easy to see.
However if i set brightness to 60% i dont see this line. However i do still see it on grey backgrounds and if i have the browser open and pull taskbar down its still quite obvious.
Im not to sure wether i should bother swapping this phone as last month i saw around 5 / 6 sIIs with the same issues and even blobs. So im thinking with 1 line im not doing 2 bad.
If people think its worth swapping i might just do that as ive spoken to shop and they are fine with it. However i dont want to get caught swapping phones if this is part of how amoled works or traits of useing amoled as i could end up with one thats worse.
Any opinions views well appreciated i can post a pic if needed but im guessing most people that post here will know what im talking about
One thing id like to add is that this phone is simply awesome , ive owned sII and sensation xe and ended up returning them but i really do like this phone ics is well nice

thought i would update this thread with pictures view appreciated thanks.

Sorry, but this is how aMOLED works. At lower brightness levels, it cannot keep every pixel in check. This is especially true when they've crammed 1280*720 pixels on a 4.65'' screen. If it is not a hassle for you to swap (i.e. you bought it at a brick and mortar store) you could swap it out. You might get one slightly better, or slightly worse. I had a couple of lines on mine, but I didn't mind it. The price really through me out though...
It's just what you have to deal with to get the best blacks...

fixed mine
Hi,
I had the same issue and ran an app from the market called Dead Pixel Test... I left it on Yellow colour for a few seconds then alternated to other colours... had to do this for like an hour before the white line was completely gone! Now been a week and the line didn't come back so I'm happy that a simple software like this was able to fix it!

How is a dead pixel tester app supposed to fix your phone?

Break in the pixels possibly? Amoled pixels burn at different rates.

I also have the transparent line

I had the transparent line on the screen too. It was clearly visible on light & grey backgrounds such as when opening a new tab in the browser and loading the Android Market.
This coupled with a yellow tint to the screen on white images, the average battery life (for me at least) and the volume bug which took a while to get fixed were enough reasons for me to return the phone and continue using my S2.
I definitely will buy the Galaxy Nexus again though. I liked the hardware and the screen clarity was great and stock ICS is superb. It was just a shame about the warm colours and transparent lines. Hopefully these get fixed in the near future via new production batches or a software fix. By then maybe an extended battery will be out too.

just to update this thread swapped the phone and my new one has no transparant line , however my new one does have some crazy banding which can be viewed here :-

mad how different 2 screens can be again will be retuning , this phone is awesome but seems to be let down my samsungs build quality :/

Just to clarify a point that keeps being made. This is how SOME AMOLED screens are, not all.
I have a perfect screen as do many others, if it bothers you, exhchange it for a new one as it is possible to get one without defect.
Just kind of annoying how comments are made that make a blanket statement about all screens, when it really isn't. Sure it might be a typical problem with AMOLED, but it's not how they work and certinaly not a problem with all to have lines down and across them.

[Q] Galaxy Nexus Screen Looks Odd?

I just bought a Galaxy Nexus from Handtec, and I notice that there are lines on the screen that resemble the texture of linen. It's not as noticeable when the brightness it set to max, but when it's darker the lines are very visible.
For other Gnex owners, is this normal? Or maybe this is the effect of the penTile?
Thanks in advance

Normal SAMOLED behavior with white backgrounds.
Get an SLCD if you are unhappy.
Just the way it is.

Thank you. No, I just wanted to know if it were normal, since I've never owned a AMOLED phone. I'm not sacrificing this baby for anything... But can anyone else with a Gnex provide more firsthand knowledge?

I own one. More posts will get more of what I said. By all means keep reading but what I posted it universally true.

This is because AMOLED screens use organic diodes that are more 'noisy' the less brightness there is. That does not mean it actually is more noisy, it simply means that your eyes are able to detect the noise in lower brightness while not as well when the screen is bright.
AMOLED is a funky technology, it's diodes 'age' and their colors have a short transfer period (sometimes if you have a screen turn gray, you can see the previous screens ghost for a short time in low brightness settings).
But the flaws don't outweigh the gains of AMOLED producing the most vibrant colors, contrast and saturation there are at the moment. I love it.

Even though i had an amoled phone before i got the Galaxy Nexus - my Desire was amoled - this effect wasn't very noticeable. Was having the same doubts about the Nexus, thank you for clearing it up.

Thanks for this. I posted in a thread or two about this same behavior yesterday but didn't get any concrete answers. Appreciate it. Glad my phone isn't having issues.

The ghosting is a bit annoying, but strangely I've come to like the 'linen texture'. When it's subtle.
It almost seems as if by design on the app developer's side.

Hello, I'm total agree with you!
but my preoccupation about it dissapeared when I realized that the screen rotates extremly slowly. (galery, web browser, pdf reader...) with everything.
Sometimes even don’t rotate. I have deactivate all screen animations and the same duration. (2 seconds or more)
My nexus s was much faster with a beta rom with android 4.
Therefore I'm much more worried about this possible issue.
Do you have the same problem?
Thanks in advance!

The rotation delay is intentional. There are some ROMs (see Paul's MCR one) that speed it up a lot.

some people (like me) like it when the slightest tilt doesnt change orientation, its better now that its a more deliberate action.

Whilst on the screen issue...
Does anyone have or have experienced a purple haze in the screen? On my device it a purple haze like colour in the bottom right corner. This changes further up the screen until it becomes (from what I can tell) a normal colour. Hardly noticeable until the screen is dimmed, then quite apparent.
I've arranged a return as I've only had it 14 days. Just wondered if this should be expected...

like that?

Yes! Except on my screen its noticeable more on the left hand side of the phone. Is this sort of thing normal for this device?

****! I returned mine to Expansys cause i had the same issue and i tough my phone was damaged! Keep it mind my last device was the iPhone 4 which had a pretty good screen! I really don't know if i should keep this device now since you guys say its normal! My friend has a Razr and his whites backgrounds are amazing and on my Gnex they look like my screen is damaged unacceptable for a device i paid top dollar for!

I would advise you to keep it! At first it seemed awkward, but now i dont even notice it. And the fact that the black is actually unlit is simply amazing. I always look into my apps just to see the amazing contrast between the lit and unlit areas of the phone. And when you set the brightness up, you wont even see the textile lines. Trust me, it is worth it for an HD amoled screen, ICS, and a top of the line nexus phone that will always be up to date. BTW if you get the Razr instead of this nexus, i have no words...

im not getting the Razr i was just using it a reference! Im new to android and i think I am going to stick with my Gnex i just have to wait till i get my replacement back! should i root my Gnex?

Galaxy Nexus - Purple Tint + Grainy Screen

Hey Guys,
I just got my GSM Nexus about 2 days ago from Germany (Ordered it online and my uncle bought it here in India for me). The phone is AMAZING! I love everything about it! Specially the screen... but I just noticed something. I was going through some thread regarding the screen of the Nexus. My phone has some serious contrast issues.
The black (Pure black), on the screen is perfect. Say for example - The navigation bar. But when the phone is on low brightness level, the greys turn into purple! This is a common issue, I know, just keep reading..
At low brightness level, I can see the grains on the screen, they are very much visible and all the greys turn into purples! NO idea why! It's actually really annoying, my keyboard, my settings background and notification drop down literally turns purple.
So searching for this issue, I tested the screen through this - http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/black.php - The first black, IS PURPLE ON THE PHONE. The background is pure black but the first black sample is purple!
I just noticed that even on 100% brightness I can see the grains and there are some purple stuff I can still see! Specially the starting of the gradient on the Settings menu.
I'm really worried right now. I have the bill/invoice of the phone. The warranty period is 2 year but I'm not sure whether they'll replace the phone's screen here in India through warranty or not. If not, I'll be so depressed.
Any idea as to what I should do?

I would contact them about the issue being resolved through warranty. The only thing I would be worried about if they did cover it would be if they exchanged it for a new one and it ended up having the same problem(since it seems somewhat widespread from what I have read). Not sure how the warranty works though. Best of luck to you!

I went through 3 Galaxy S II's before finding one that had an acceptable (but grainy) display.
My Galaxy Nexus has annoying SAMOLED issues as well, such as vertical lines and color banding, graininess, spots, etc. All I can say is don't expect a perfect screen, even if you get a replacement.

The biggest problem is - The Galaxy Nexus has not been launched in India -.-

I just sent a mail to the head of Samsung service but didn't get a positive reply they're saying that the replacement of the screen will be costly. Really disappointing.

I am really sorry to see that Samsung won't replace this phone. I had this same exact issue with the purple tint especially on low brightness. It is very noticeable on certain backgrounds or shades of black where it suddenly turns purple. The best example I could find was putting the standard color gradient wallpaper that comes with ICS and turn on the clock program and with the brightness on low turn the clock to dark mode and the purple shows up all over the place. It is quite annoying because this affects everything you do with the phone. Luckily I was within my 30 day trial period so I could get it replaced. The new phone is perfectly fine.

Had this happen to me on my replacement phone. Took it in to verizon and the reps thought I was crazy. I tried to explain that it was mostly visible with low light levels and that they should take it into the back and look at it but they just stood there. So, my third phone should be here today and I am going to be pissed if it has any issues.
I still think this is a great phone regardless of the above issues

Yeah I don't think it's the OP's phone that has the problem. I think all Galaxy Nexuses have the same problem.

Really disappointing though. I paid a hell lotta money for this thing It's the GSM version..

I always assumed that this was the standard color pattern of the Gnex. Mine has it, and I've gone through 3 screen replacements so far and all of them had it.

From what I heard Supercurio might be working on Voodoo Color for the Galaxy Nexus so hopefully it will be able to adjust the colour balance so the grey looks more grey. As for the grain effect I don't think there will be a way to fix that since from what I read it is caused by pixel inhomogeneities.
Anyway if it makes the OP feels any better once you get used to it you hardly notice the problems at all unless you specifically look out for it. Any screens you buy have some sort of imperfections and the Galaxy Nexus's is definitely one of the least imperfect.

It took me 3 exchange to get rid of purple but now I have vertical banding.
Quality control sucks...it just that simple.

I don't have any grain, but my keyboard looks purple from ~20% and lower brightness. Bit of a shame, it's the only chink in this phone's armor so far, but it ceases to become an issue at ~50% brightness, which I use. Until now I thought it was a part of the ICS colour pallette as even pulling up a sample of dark grey on Google doesn't replicate the purple

Such a weird issue this is! I also have an HTC Sensation with Vanilla ICS 4.0.3 - The greys are perfect due to the SLCD panel, no grains too!
But meh, whatever! The Nexus's screen is sexy! So pure! (At high brightness levels)
I'm always going to love it

Okay great news! I talked to the manager of Samsung Mobile India CC - He agreed and told me to visit the nearest service center. But now it depends on the SC to change the screen or not.

I think this is just normal for this phone...I just got mine and its purple too...no biggee... still an awesome screen.

Exactly! Do you have a grainy screen too?

My first Galaxy Nexus seemed perfect, I didn't even know about these screen problems, because mine didn't have them and I so I really ignored topics about screen problems.
Then I swapped it out for a cheaper open box Galaxy Nexus. Now I'm seeing a purplish tint to my dark wallpaper when I have the brightness level down. And more troubling is I seem to have a grainy effect mostly visible on grey backgrounds at any brightness level (I see it a lot with the Market and Kindle apps). I don't seem to have a grainy effect with other colors though that I notice.
Little disappointed. But don't think there is much I can do because it was an open box. Doubt the retailer would let me exchange it. Does Samsung offer warranty support for the i9250 in the US? I go to Samsung's support website and enter my i9250 model number and it just says invalid.

Just find a service e-mail ID and send them a mail! That's what worked for me! They'll reply back by the next day. Try to convince them as much as you can!

The purple may be common, but it's certainly not normal. My first GN had deep blacks and very nice neutral greys. But it had two dark blotches that were visible on a black background without having to be in total darkness - just evening lighting would make them visible. But the colors were similar to the Nexus S it is replacing. The replacement GN I got has the normal amount of graininess at low light settings, which is acceptable to me, but the colors have a very purple tint and the contrast is not very good - holding it up between the first GN that I have to ship back and the Nexus S makes the purple and low contrast very obvious. Maybe third time will be the charm....

Found black blotches on my screen

Okay. so I have a few black blotches on my screen, but I can only see them on a certain kind of black, but here's how to tell if you have this issue go to phone click on the menu key than call settings now go to call rejections from in there look at your phone screen at all every angle possible, if you don't see black blotches than you don't have an issue like I do.
Good luck
Also try doing this in the dark

Looks like a manufacturing defect, the blotches are in the same place on everyone s phone.

I don't see them on that screen because the blacks are too black also I'm in a brighter lit room. But if I am watching a movie and it goes dark I can see minor blotches.

I noticed this and I took it to warrenty but they refused to replace or fix it. I dunno what to do. Is this breach of contract?

You would have to LIVE WITH THE STAINS AND BLOTCHES...
This is widely known issue known as OLED "mura" effect
It has stains and many black dots affecting the Galaxy S2, Note, S3, PS Vita and even some of the Galaxy S1 devices...
This is due to cheap manufacturing and QA ...

Is it this, or is it a limitation of the AMOLED manufacturing process? My blotches are very minimal and I very rarely ever see them. I would much rather have the contrast of the AMOLED tech with the blotches than have my S3 equipped with an LCD.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2

Definitely not an limitation of the manufacturing process.. My first-gen Samsung Captivate's screen blacks are actually deeper than the my Galaxy S3 with maximum brightness, displaying the same completely black #000000 screen in a completely dark bedroom at night...
Also what I have realized is that on my Captivate's screen, it do not has any of the stains or the dots on it when viewed in a dark room.. It has a little bit of "banding" problem on the top portion of the screen, but it is less noticeable than the stains and especially the "black dots" effect...
I have the EXACTLY same problem with my PS Vita similar to my Galaxy S3, but the PS Vita has much more stains than dots than the GS3 (more imperfection) although the PS Vita is lower resolution, and slightly bigger screen. The PS Vita uses the Samsung Super AMOLED Advanced (pentile matrix)...
Also, the screen production is not consistent on the GS3. My first GS3 has Wi-Fi random disconnection issues, so I exchanged it under the 15 days policy from Rogers, for another GS3.. The original GS3 has a lot of "black dots" (approx around 15 or so) and slightly stained on the top right corner.. The exchanged GS3 was slightly better and had no stain marks and only a few black dots and a slight pink spot (when viewed on white #FFFFFF).. Also I had to exchange my second one back to the store because my battery cover had some hairline cracks within a week of usage or so..
The THIRD AND FINAL GS3 I received did not have any stains, but suffered a more severe "black dot" effect (approx. 15-20 dots).. But my Wi-Fi issue was fine, and there are no pink spots, so I have been using it until now and did not really bother an exchange....
If you are extremely lucky, you might get a "perfect" or "near perfect" AMOLED in the current generation... But still the QA is going down the toilet when compared to my First Phone with Super AMOLED, my Samsung Wave S8500 (the screen was PERFECT on this one, NO stains/dots/smudges etc...)
Samsung is cutting costs and lowering QA because it is fulfilling more AMOLEDs for other manufacturers such as themselves (its is not just the top of the line Galaxy S# series using AMOLED, mid-end and some lower ends Galaxy series are using AMOLED as well) Also Samsung has to supply for Motorola, HTC (fewer models though), Sony (only for PS Vita), Fujitsu (for the Japanese Keitai smartphone from KDDI and Docomo) and so on.....
Now all this happened in quite short period of time, Japanese keitais with OLEDs came on the market last year... Samsung Wave came onto the market in 2010, there is only a 1 - 1.5 years in between here... The demand exponentially increased as smartphone sales went up, and more manufacturers are contracting Samsung to build OLEDs..
Personally, I do not think the process of making OLEDs have improved....
THE ONLY area it might have improved is probably the PRINTING... Printing higher resolutions has allowed Samsung to increase the pixel density and decreasing the subpixels (and this is probably why the Super AMOLED HD screens are dimmer than the original Super AMOLEDs at the same maximum brightness)
That is all I can say for now...
Live with the miniscule defects such as stains, dots, smudges etc on your OLEDs.... These problems are minor issues anyways since you have to be in a very dark environment with almost complete black #000000 image to be able to pick up the "defects".... Wait for a few more generations and allow the manufacturing process to improve more and still be able to fulfill Samsung's own demands and contracted demands for other manufacturers..... (Or other companies might finally bring more and more of their own technologies in OLED to the consumer masses)...
END OF RANTS...

Mine has the defect but I only see it when in a very dark environment and only on a certain black type of screen. Normally the black screen that shows up when starting a Netflix video I will see it for a moment. It doesn't bother me that much but do agree that it looks like s***! Other than the blotches in a dark environment though, you'd never see it.

I also noticed these spots too. I do not think it is a big deal foudn a few threads talking about other phones and most people agree it is common and only effects the screen when theres nothing moving on it. In other words yes you will notice it but no your screen is not damaged.
