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:

Anybody else having screen quality issues? First one(left) had a blueish tint and even though color representation is correct on the replacement, it has banding issues that are really noticeable when the backlight is low, so hopefully I have better luck with the 3rd.
Both phones are set to full brightness

I made a similar thread a while ago: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295438
Long story short, I returned it, got one that was slightly better (less overall streaks, but one bigger one in the corner) but that overheated constantly. So I swapped that one, and this one is perfect. Not a spot on it, it looks as even as an LCD.

Same here indeed. I see it as more of a grayer color but the banding is very visible, especially in Tapatalk.

Same here, I had some gradient streaks especially in the notification curtain with low light etc....bad display. Returned mine and the new one is perfect. I guess some are just better than others but definitely a defect.

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.

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.
Hi, i had a opportunity to compare my LG G4 with another. I've noticed quite another display calibration. My G4 has white color calibrated to warm (yellow) and the second G4 doesnt. How is this even possible?
I cant think of the post but look up on the g3 same problem. Theres some adjustments u can make. It was a known issue on g2 and g3. Mine included. You can change the red green blue. Again i dont know exacts but theres a few post again for the g3
Can you send me samething about that?
It's very normal to have differently calibrated LCD panels. I had 2 LG G4 and both of them had different color tint/temperature. One had warmer colour calibration with yellowish tint another one had cooler colour calibration with bluish tint. Unfortunately unlike Samsung devices and several others the screen colour temperature can't be adjusted so it all comes to personal preference which one you like more. I kept the one with warmer looking screen.
This screen is exactly what I mean.

I agree with the above post device calibrations are always diffrent. Also sometimes just the shear heat off the cpus can tinge the screen yellow some g3 was bad for it
I tried app "Screen balance" and it is working well, so I dont know why producer does not set it to default.

Hi everyone, anyone else got this device?? The grey navigation bar at the bottom is annoying and doesn't fit. It should just be black. I tried an app from the play store to change color but it only changes the very thin bar where the gesture hint is, not the wider grey space under it. Any tricks to make it black all the time?
Here's a screenshot of what I'm talking about, drives me bonkers.

High contrast areas that are fixed on an oled screen will become burned in over a couple years.
You want it black now.. But it will be visible when rotating the screen if it was.
Even being grey won't fully save it but it should make it much less noticeable unless you're always viewing black content. So maybe silver lining?
