Pulled my new galaxy s 2 out of my pocket and noticed a thin horizontal white line about 1 inch from the top of the screen, Only on the lock screen. I changed lock screen background and reset the phone but it s still there in the same location (edge to edge). There is no physical damage to the screen and the line is not visible any other time (home screen, pictures, games all fine so far). Anyone else seeing this? Screen shots soon. Maybe normal and i never noticed it?

This happened to my phone except on the bottom just one line acroos the phone it would be on all screens and then sometimes it wouldn't be there. I warrantied the phone.
My vibrant did that after I dropped it. :-( the glass cracked and broke the digitalizer.

Can anyone confirm that they do not have a horizontal line under the clock on the stock lock screen like the picture attached?. (not my lock screen btw) after looking around on google it seems this may be normal, but it's hard to find pictures of just the lock screen for the stock rom...thanks for the replies...Not sure how i missed it if it is normal...

not normal. Seems like stuck pixel. Since its an led screen each pixel is an led basically. I would return it if you could if not try to run a test. you can find one from the market just dont remember the name.

noooo. he took a screenshot...that means that a picture of the image being sent to screen for display to the user. Screenshots do not show hardware defects. I believe this to be a bug in the system. I would odin back to stock and post back with results. Not factory reset...odin
edit: if it IS a hardware defect, then it is probably the graphics chip that renders the image that is going bad...not the actual screen
Picture i posted is not my screenshot, gound that with google and added the arrow...i can confirm the line is not visible on any other screen just lock..i really just dont recall seeing it before. Used a screen test app and all screens look ok to me...

then it is most probably just a bug. Are you updated to latest Kl1 firmware? If not, you can update through odin without losing your data. If you are on tha latest firmware and dont want to go through the hassle of odining stock again and setting up everything again then i would just not worry about it as its only on the lock screen
Screen
I do believe that's a design element. I have the exact same thing on the lock screen and I have a brand new phone made January 20th.
I had that when i updated to kl1 or when i used one of the first versions of juggernaut. Just do a fresh install or odin/factory reset from phone.

Yes that's normal. Its suppose to be there. Ive gone through 3 sgs2 and always set up a screen lock and have always noticed it on all 3 phones. Its not a hardware or software issue, its part of the design element for the lockscreen as I'mDan2 also mentioned.

Yes, it's definitely a graphic design element. Most telling is that the same line on my phone, running GingerSnap, is a reddish-orange color - in accordance with the rest of the reddish-orange theme for that ROM. Lol

When looking at the lock screen my phone doesn't display the date. Its cut off. All I see is Mon. May and the very top of the actual date. Anyone else have this problem? Wasn't like this any other time.
Edit.. didn't see any other posts when I started to post this earlier and didn't finish. Now that I did I see others. Mods, feel free to delete.

it does sort the apps menu... hit menu, edit , sort , save... and the lockscreen thing is easily fixed by swapping fonts

So I downloaded a lock screen app to double tap my screen to put the phone to sleep. It puts the phone to sleep for a sec and then the phone wakes back up.
Is there a setting I need to change?? I've tried a few and they all act the same.

it's just how the .apks like these have been working since like sense 4.1
it works about 9/10 times from my experience.
Andy, it was working on ur ROM but then I flashed another and its not.

yea like I said those .apks have been flaky on newer Android systems.
I personally stopped using them and have been finding alternate methods,
such as this for Samsung.
With time I will be trying to see if this lock button works on HTC as it does Samsung seen here (the lock button) - presss to act as power button, long press to act as power button long press.
Very cool actually, and you get used to pulling down the status bar to turn phone off.

Works really well and best part it's quite simple to add.
Will be testing today to see if it works.
If so, you can send me your SystemUI.apk and I'll hook you up with it,
unless you use my ROM in which case I'll have a patch made for it as it'll be included into the next release.

I actually flashed back to your ROM cause I really missed that feature. I'll be looking forward to the next release!! Can't wait cause the current version is running better than most Roms I've used. Even on other phones!!!

Sorry, with all these phones I get confused who uses which of my ROMs on what phone.
So yea you know how that button works, I think it would look great to the left of the clear all button in header.
So when I drag down the mode menu, to the right of the battery percentage a rectangle flashes for a second. I've attached an image. In the image it's black, but sometimes it's green and sometimes it's white. Just seeing if anyone has this.

Yep I get it, not always but sometimes. Only seemed to occur after the most recent update.

It is, and doesn't seem to affect anything. But it shouldn't happen and you would think they would fix it. It's just a bit sloppy.

This issue is fixed by changing the font size on the watch to small
I have had my Samsung Galaxy S4 mini (GT-I9195) for like 2 years.
Like 2 days earlier i tried to root it and stuff! it worked!
Then tried a rom... and i got some weird icons in the bottom right corner, they would appear at certain things like when i look at my home screen they are there... But like when i scroll down the notification tab it does not show on there... WEIRDEST PART IS THAT when i take a screenshot the icons don't appear...
Ive tried everything getting a "STOCK ROM" for my device
Even rebooting does not help..
Can somebody help me get rid of those weird overlay icons?
Any hope fixing it?

nothing like "chat heads" ha! Ha!
strange, it looks a bit like your digitiser is bad but I have never seen one with patterns like that. It may just seem to disappear depending on the screen colors. It almost looks like ghosting or watermark (electronic) of a digital clock....
There's an app that can test for dead pixels that might help I think someone said on another thread.

Yes strange that it happened after root etc, so you would assume it's related. Which root, rom, kernal?
The pixel app can't fix (probably) but might show you the problem or rule out the screen as the cause. I don't know which app is good, just search pay store with something like "screen tester"

Okay... I'am so confused when i tried one of the "Screen fix apps" some of them didnt even show the watermark down right corner... By the way it was the root that i used it was "S4 mini rootkit" or something like that.. Is that a screen problem or do i have to fix it physically like removeing the screen and then putting it back on (but it might be risky)..

now I'm confused! Ha! Ha! So some of the screen test apps show the screen is working fine will others don't?
Well at least if some app show all colours/tests screens with no "ghost" icon that means at least it's not a hardware issue stuck pixel etc. That might suggest it's an app causing it. (I am assuming you got your kernal and rom from a trustworthy source and not some random download site!) Boot into safe mode so 3rd party apps don't work, do you still see the strange icon like marks?

Well I'm at a loss. Nothing I can think of seems to match all the symptoms you say and the shapes. If it's not in the software then I would guess it's some damage to screen but you say it doesn't appear on old ROM. It's not 3rd party apps so must be the rom/kernal, but still seems strange. And those shapes make stuck pixels seem unlikely ......
If it was me I'd flash another ROM, if not fixed, flash another kernal, if still not fixed then flash the stock ROM to start with a clean phone and then flash another ROM.

Hi, just updated to the new software (Dec firmware) but I am still having issues with auto rotate stack widget on my fold 4. Can anyone don't mind help me to test pls?
To replicate:
1) Have stack widgets on cover screen on home page and 2nd page, press and hold, edit stack and have auto rotate on for both pages.
2) Turn off cover screen mirroring
3) Unfold phone
4) Fold phone
5) Edit stack setting on cover screen.
Does the auto rotate widget switch to off on the home page? How about the 2nd page?
Thanks!
Lock screen disappears on front screen, just can see the wallpaper.

Yeah, this bug happened awhile back in OneUI 4.x (which got fixed by a keyboard update if I'm not mistaken) and now it's returned. I avoid using the Fold to reply in a forum... I have to resort to using different device.
