Just got my Galaxy Nexus and booted it up. I opened up the settings menu and when I look on the right-hand side of the screen. I can see these ever so faint lines going down the whole screen. Anyone else have these?
MODS: Please delete, sorry. I didn't search around a bit before posting. Just got all nervous about my new baby. Seems to be a common issue with Samsung's AMOLED screens.

Alright.. well to start off I know what caused this issue; so I'm not looking for a 'fix'. Just a detailed explaintion from anyone who knows enough about the SAMLODED screen.
Playing airsoft with an Epic is a VERY bad idea; I don't ever recommend it. I left it in my pocket..and it got hit screen first so now there is a purple mark spanning out from the bottom right of the screen (where it got hit) and is completely black at the point of impact.
Was looking so see what actually happened to the screen to cause this. Why is it purple and not some other color..What 'broke' inside causing a purple 'glob' if you will.. to be inside my screen.
Just picked up sm-p600. Screen has some fade or washing out at bottom. Does yours? Honestly I hope it's normal but if it's not I worry it'll slowly work it's way up the screen. Thanks. I'll post screens if I need to but you know what I'm saying
White cloudy fade at bottom corners.
Edit: back light is the word I'm looking for. Now I can search questions again so sorry if this has already been brought up.

I got that, too. The only minor inconvenience with the display. The effect may vary somewhat among individual units, but it seems, as there's also a faint bleeding at the bottom, that theres only a bottom backlight, and the edges are sort of dead angles beside the led stripes.
Sounds like you're not taking yours back over it.. I think I'll keep it. I had a nightmare with the n7 when it first came out. Replaced 5 times. I don't want to go through that again. Thanks for response

Hi guys, I don't quite now how to explain this, but I'll give it my best. I've had my g3 for almost two weeks now and I've started to notice very faint vertical lines on the screen when on a white background, I can see them right now while writing this. It also happens in the settings screen. I'm not certain if there's something wrong or if it's always been this way and I hadn't noticed. Has anyone else noticed this? I wouldn't even say the line have a colour, it's just an alternate of darkish and white lines. I could just be looking too close, but I'm not certain.
Also I have noticed a slight black blur when using knock code, like when you would touch an old lap top screen, although a lot fainter. It only happens in one little section of the screen, but I noticed it when using the white stock wallpaper. It only seems to happen when I tap for knock code and I have noticed it when I apply slight pressure to that area. I have been delicate with the touch screen since, but I don't believe I used much pressure in the first place.
Hope I explained it well enough. Anybody else noticed anything similar? Am I being paranoid and these things normal?
There is large discussion on the "lines." I see them too, but think it is a result of the resolution itself. Nobody can say/prove what it is AFAIK.
If I press real hard on the screen in certain spots, it seems like I can replicate the second thing you're talking about. If yours does it when just lightly tapping, I'd exchange it.

Hi,
Thanks for replying. I'm glad that the 'lines' aren't just in my imagination. Can you point me in the direction of the discussion on the lines?
I bought the phone online, but took into the store today to compare it to their demo model. It definitely doesn't have the same issue when I tap it. The salesperson wasn't sure what it was but she's going to send it in for repair/replacement. It sucks... now I'm going to have to wait till I get it back. The shop said they would have replaced it on the spot if I hadn't bought it online but from the store too.
Hopefully they get it back to me quick.
I hope no one else has this problem.
I think it's not the resolution itself, it's more about the software or kernel or something, LG implemented an oversharping thing which makes texts appear too sharp, but it's not only about texts, it's about the overall display! Notice when you scroll through LG Health page, you can see the lines moving, or changing in visibility, etc..
I have the same issue on my phone. There are very faint vertical lines most apparent on white and green colors and they seem to be rainbow colored. I have seen this issue with the at&t, t-mobile, and sprint versions of the G3 which my friends have.
It's not caused by the over sharpening effect because even after I flashed a fix for it, it still appears.
Almost as if it's like one of those 3d card/poster effects.
Hi guys,
is there any news on any fix on this?
I have the same problem. Should I RMA my phone?
I have a strange issue, I think. I was taking some notes with SNote when I noticed in the top right hand corner what looked like a very faint pink trashcan icon. Upon further inspection, it appears to be a circuit board outline. There are also two very pink 1/2" squares along the right hand edge near the bottom of the phone. There are also three equal size and spaced dots on the bottom right hand corner. Very faint, but noticeable on the white backgrounds.
There are there no matter what app is running.
Has anyone had this issue? What causes it? It happened nearly instantaniously while I was simply using it in my hand.
I just went to ATT. They say it is screen burnout. Turns out it is an app that I always have open. Under warranty, I just have to call Samsung

I dont know if my eyes are just completely bugging out or if what im seeing is true. I got my replacement note 7 yesterday and everything went well but then i saw a red/pink tint towards the bottom of the screen i started to freak out but decided that i would let it fly til Monday or so hoping that its just glue or something drying up. Its more noticeable when the screen is on a full white screen or if the bottom/edge part of the screen is white but other than that you can't see it at all.

Sounds like a display issue. My Note 4 had half the screen streaked/covered with a similar color. It was really similar to what the blue-light filter looks like when turned about half way up actually. But it was only on about half the display, and in streaks so was more of a bother because it wasn't the entire screen. I honestly only really noticed it when I was reading my kindle app on my phone with the lights turned off, otherwise it really wasn't very noticeable in normal lighting conditions. Upon reading about this on google this can happen to these kinds of displays that Samsung uses. Might be something to send the phone back for a replacement. I'd really have to see a pic to know enough to know for sure though.
Sounds like a defect. Bound to be a few. Try massaging that area of the screen fairly hard and see if there is any change.

I had that issue on my silver Note 7 and opt to exchange it (after many rounds of persuasion and complaints with at least 3 Samsung technicians). Some see it, some don't. This happened right before the recall.
Thought it was only a random unit of mine, but since you also raised this issue, could be more widespread. FYI, my unit was international version. Also same pinkish hue at the bottom. My replacement unit (before the recall) did not have this issue.
My note 7 recall replacement is not here yet (Samsung announced our replacement only available officially on 29 Sept in my country). I too hope my recalled-replacement will not have the pink hue at the bottom of the screen.
