Anyone notice this? At the top of screen, right under the Status Bar, there seems to be some intentional darkening.
I know it's not the screen, because it shows up in screen shots and if you drag the photo around down to the middle of your screen, the darkened horiztonal line still shows right under the status bar.
No a big deal really, but slightly annoying. Check the posted screen shots (anyone's) and then look at yours.
Why would they do that?

It most likely is a software issue. The Nexus S had screen issues that were corrected with a software update from Google. Once we get root we can use voodoo colors and set the screen color to our liking.

I think hes talking about the vertical lines everyone is discussing in the other thread. Its just the way the screens are. Some are more noticeable then others.

No it's a horizontal line and it's not a screen defect. It's definitely software related and I believe it only shows on the home screen and lock screen

Actually it shows anywhere the status bar or any type of header bar shows, like the orange bar on the top of the xda app. I think it was by design to have a shadow come from the top bar.

After looking at it,I completely agree with you. It definitely appears to have been intentional

Now that we've established that it's supposed to be there, I'm going back to my original criticism. Why would they do that? I don't like it.

Is there a way to make my action bar and status bar white instead of black? I don't want the screen there to get ruined like I keep hearing.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I don't see how white would prevent burn in.

Is there anyway to prevent a burn?

Turn off your screen.
Find a ROM that can disable the navigation bar and use button savior. Also, some ROMS have built in status bar transparency.
I believe there are themes on the gnex that do this, makes more sense on the nexus 7 though being its an lcd.

White would likely make the burn in worse than black.
In froyo the status bar was white, with gingerbread it changed to black to prevent burn in and IMO made it look better.

In fact you misses the whole point. Black prevents burn in as they are not being lit up in amoled screens. White on the contrary would do the exact opposite.

even with black, i find it hard to believe that software could make that to a screen, if the screen itself wasn't damaged in the first place. how else could we explain some screens being affected and others don't?

What does this even mean? Simply put depending on your usage (How often you have the screen on, which orientation, more full screen apps etc) you may or may not have burn in. I personally changed the navbar icon colour for aesthetics more than anything but if you're that worried about burn in then just change the colour to black, it's not like we actually look at the icons after you're used to the layout.
Well I just learned something thank you lol.

It is NOT AS SERIOUS as on this image(its a image from google)
On my display there are maybe 8 small dots and a little bigger one in the screen corner. It is only visible on a totally black wallpaper.
What is it????

If you're talking about the individual pixels that stand out, then you may have a few stuck pixels... not dead pixels... stuck pixels. This is indicative of a damaged and/or defective panel. Truthfully, other than an RMA or replacing the panel, there's not much you can do about this.
However, if you're talking about the black splotches on the screen, that's a frequently occurring anomaly common to OLED displays. It's called miura, and it's perfectly normal. It's not a manufacturing defect and it's not a sign of damage to the panel. Furthermore, it should only be noticeable on a completely black screen and in a nearly pitch black environment, like in a very dark room.
For your sake, I really hope you were talking about the splotches and not the funky pixels. I hope this has been informative and/or useful/helpful. Take care and have a good one man!

I had a pink line running up and down my screen on the right side which was awful on white screens. I noticed a lot of people have also been complaining of pink blotches or something of the sort.
I did a little something most commonly used on TV.
go to dialer and press
*#0*#
it'll take you to a test screen.
press on red, blue, green on the top and see which pixels need to be re learned.
keep the phone on each of the 3 color screens for a few minutes each.
it should start to fade the pink away
if it doesn't, repeat.
normally it's the red where the pixels are most noticeably out on.
give the process and repetition some time. it should seriously help get your pink screens right again!
my pink line is gone!

Ive got a pinkish hue across the bottom. and this doesnt appear to be working on cyanogenmod for me ("Connection problem or invalid MMI code")
Is there any difference to just leaving a full screen pure red, pure green, or pure blue (255,0,0 , 0,255,0 , 0,0,255) image on the screen, or does it do some fancier other things in the background?
Alternatively, is this hardware or software based fixing/learning? If I revert to stock, run this, then return to cyanogenmod will it still be fixed?

Just flash a Stock Based ROM (much easier then Odin) and then run the codes. Yes it should fix it when you flash back to CM hoping that this fix is a true fix. I am also guessing that the codes do a little more than just holding a colored image on the screen. Might be wrong on that but who knows.
It's proprietary Samsung service mode. Only works on touchwiz roms

Glad to hear you were able to fix the issue! I had a vertical pixel width line on the first gs4 I got before I exchanged it. Although I am pretty sure that mine was a hardware problem because it was always there, even when in the bootloader and startup animations.

yeah so was mine. this is a lot like the color code pixel reset on plasma and LCD TVs.
and yes it must be touchwiz because it's a code for that software. I am not sure if Cm has one yet

pink pixel when you get a screen problem then you just think its display problem and change the display with same model so you can solve pink pixel.

Hello. Few months ago I noticed that screen doesn ´t show red color well. Screen has sometimes some kind of stripes. Definitely it is not normal. Has anyone same experience?

Try fiddling around with the screen settings in Trickster MOD

So I noticed that it is not only red color problem, but red is worse.
When I set brightness to 50 % and more I can notice any stripes.
Is this something bad and should I worry about it?
I have the same problem , it's so annoying
If any one have a solution for this , please help us
I also have this problem. I think it is a screen burn in. I see it when displaying white colors and red. But with red it is way more obvious. I tried apps tot fix it with no luck.
