Black line on screen - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
When i have a wallpaper whit black on top of the screen, then i have a small black line on top were normally the status bar ends, so thats a half centimeter from the top screen.
Its really difficult to see and its only when i have a really black background,
When there are other collors then the black line is gone so its only with really black.
Maybe that its normall
Thank you
Best regards

I can only see it when its darker in my room, so on a clear day i dont see it.
I have the screen setting on standard and the brightness on 25%
So its about 1cm below the samsung sign from left to right
Further than that the screen is really perfect
Sorry for my bad english

Sorry i cant edit my posts.
When i have a black wallpaper with the grey status bar then there is no black line, so its only when i have a black wallpaper or picture and i watch it in gallery without the status bar so you see the full screen picture

I don't have one yet but it doesn't sound like a faulty screen. A faulty display may have pixels or a row that is all black regardless of what's on the screen or always white etc.
You can try downloading a screen checking app, it will display all black, white, red, green and blue to try and identify faulty pixels.

Hello,
I have checked it with the app screen test.
I only see the small black line when the screen is full black in the test and i must be in a darker room, the rest of the test is perfect from dark grey to every collor
Maybe someone else can test it to with the app screen test, i would appreciate it
Thank you

If that is the case something may be wrong. While it isn't a typical problem it should not be occurring. Consider getting a replacement.

Hello,
Do you think its faulty?
Is it not normal like the black spots on the note 1?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

If you see a black line that goes across the whole screen and it is only visible on a black screen that is defective in my opinion. It should be consistent.

No its not from top screen to home button.
The small black line is on top were the status bar ends so its a horizontal line when you hold the phone like when your calling.
Yes its only when there is full really black picture or movie
My note 1 from last year had alot of black spots over the whole screen and that was only when there was black screen
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

I don't really have any experience with AMOLED screens but it still does not seem normal to me(I could be wrong). It really comes down to if it bothers you and how noticeable it is. It probably isn't too bad since its only for black.

Why don't you take a screenshot from your phone (Press the S-pen button, then tap on the screen) and then transfer the image to your computer.
Compare both images and if the black line doesn't appear on your computer, it means that your screen is faulty.

I can do that.
Is there nobody with a note 2 that can test it maybe whit the screen test app, and then go to the full black screen and look good for a black line, but with normall light its not noticable you must be in a darker room
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

I had exactly the same issue with S2, sent back for replacement. It was very noticable with black backgrounds and also whilst using camera in dark situations, other than that is was very difficult to see.
Regards

Yes i have seen pictures of a s2 that was really terrible, alot of black spots and line over the whole screen.
Did your new s2 have it to?
My note 1 had black spots, almost every note 1 had them so far as i know.
Now there are no black spots just 1 small black line so its not mutch, and its only noticable if i am in a darker room with full black screen.
I have read that its a amoled thing, and almost all amoled screens have it, some worse then other

Did you not tested it or do you mean you have no small black line?
Thanks for the help!

What do you all think:
Is it just an amoled thing, that is what i have read on the internet
Or
Is it a defective screen?

just return it for an exchange if it bothers you.

I can do that but if its just an amoled thing then the new one will have it to or maybe worse

It is an AMOLED thing.
All will have it to some extent, some more than others.
I can see a small 1cm line on my s3 screen in darkness with a dark wallpaper etc, but it doesn't bother me as I only see it in extreme circumstances!

Got a black line in the center of the screen all of a sudden. I will return it tomorrow and grab a new one, mine's only 3 days old and didn't pay to look at a crappy line wich is allways visible except when its turned off

Lighter vertical line of pixels in landscape

Hello everyone, today I've noticed that on landscape mode my GN has a lighter and brighter vertical line of pixels on the left side, if I turn the phone on the left; if I turn the phone on the right it doesn't happen and everything is fine on both sides. It is really annoying me and I can't say if it is the first time it happens or this kind of issue has been always there. It can be noticed only with white or light backgrounds and in EVERY photo, if brightness is switched to max it is hard to see but with automatic or half brightness is pretty clear.
I tried to screenshot it but I'm afraid this is something hardware since it doesn't show on screenshot.
Anyone else with the same problem?

At least you can replace it. I am from Israel and I bought the Gnex in the US directly from Google. I noticed this problem a day before I went on the flight so I didnt have much time to replace it. But it doesnt much bother me. I know that those Super AMOLED screen have too much problems... Just live with it right now.
i have the same issue right now.
For replacing the GNex i had to go in a samsung point or they come to my home for took it?

I have the exact same issue on my Galaxy Nexus. The same row of pixels (along the top-edge). It's not visible in portrait mode because the notification bar is black and the pixels are switched off.
Here's the kicker: since this afternoon, the row of pixels are switched on even when the background is black. They appear as a faint line and become brighter when there's a background image. I put the phone under a magnifying glass and there appear to be three such rows, not one. It could be the pentile matrix playing with my eyes since the pixels are too small to see even with a (low power) magnifying glass, but there's definitely more than one row.
Anyone else?

Can you post or link a picture? I mean under a magnifying glass, just to see how it looks like...ehm not sure if it is possible though
I am having the same problem on mine too. There are these streaks that runs across in landscape or portrait. it's more noticable in a grayish white background. It's very easy to see with a screen test app that shows one color on the whole screen. Lately, I also notice the very top and bottom line of pixels like would lit up brighter. For example, when i touch the context buttons at the bottom, bottom pixels of the buttom would lit up bright white.
Edit: clariification, it's the same lines of streaks if held in portrait, it would go across. when in landscape, the same streaks goes to to bottom.
I also have a lighter vertical line of pixels on the side of the screen when in landscape. The interesting thing, though, is that it is on the left, regardless of whether my phone is in landscape with the power button on the top or the button. either way it's on the left of the picture. So I don't think it's a hardware issue. More likely a calibration issue?
I also have horizontal banding of slightly different shades in portrait on grey/white backgrounds (eg: facebook app). These become harder to see the more brightness I turn up.
Yep, have it too...
Now I'm deciding whether to go to the Service Center....
Other than that small line, the phone is perfect so i guess i won't bother..

I got the entire screen replaced by Samsung Italy. 100% hardware issue
i have the same issue... but i think it is not "burn in", it is just a pixel line brighter than the rest, in my case it shows all the colors as it should, just brighter.
Strange...
A couple of weeks ago I noticed the topmost line of pixels of my Gnex is miscoloured or brighter than normal, and yet sometimes displays correctly, usually when black.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
I noticed it's on the bottom too. Maybe some backlight problem or something... But sometimes it changes colour due to shades changing, it's like in half shades it's shining more and in other half it's darker. Like some software compensating. There's other colours, but blue looks differently.

black dots on my note 2 screen

Hey all. Today i moved from my HTC sensation to a brand new galaxy note 2. Being aware of the burn-in effect i decided to install screen filter. After that, i set the brighness to the minimum in the app and i have observed some black dots on my screen, dots wich i couldn't see on the default brightness of the phone. Anyone having this problem? Besides that, i just love this phablet:d
Show us.
Pics or it never happened
I think he's talking about the black blobs normal to an amoled screen. When the screen is at very low brightness on a black background you can see these black dots/blobs.

Note 2 screen defect on pure black screen in darkness

On my Galaxy Note 2, if I display a pure black screen in a completely dark room, I can see that first of all, the "black" is not really black, but somewhat pinkish. And second of all, there are "really black" dots and lines across what is supposed to be "pure black" but is somewhat pinkish (like i said). Also, this effect, of having a darker line, can also been seen with say, dark blue on screen in a completely dark room.
This effect is not noticeable when white or other colours are on screen. I'm really sorry but I can't show you a picture of this because obviously a screenshot captures the digital signal and not the physical output and I don't have a good enough camera to take pictures of what I'm saying in complete darkness.
Is this a defect or just an unavoidable "feature" of Samung AMOLED screens?
you did not use the search function: i personally wrote a huge amount of posts regarding this, also in the note1 section!
search for "black blotches" or take a look at my posts. really lots of them are about this!
in short:
its manufacturing dependant and its luck of the draw to get a "good" screen!
samsung lives with this as not many customers complain(ed) about it, as most of them do not even notice it!

Mine is pure back at full brightness when seen in a dark room (no pinkish hue or any line that you mention). And Note 2 screen doesn't even have the infamous black clipping/crushing issue like its predecessors! Blue colour also good, no issues for me.
No, it is definitely not an AMOLED feature or drawback (never seen it on any other AMOLEDs either)! Of all other aspects samsung SAMOLED screens are known to have the deepest blacks (with best contrast ratio). Sure, it sounds like you have a defective screen, and my suggestion would be to get it checked up at SC for replacement.
i also have a similar issue on my note 2. a black screen is not completely black, but a brownish black. And i can see 3 (or more) dots which are completely black.. i can see this only in a dark room, so normally this is not an issue. But when i read kindle in my bed with dark background, this really bothers me. initially i thought this was some smudge on the screen. im sad to hear that other people are also having this issue..
I had the black dots on my galaxy s2 ... but not my note ... The screen on my note has none of that sooooooo happy about that it really is just luck of the draw ....

im only worried if it will grow in time. like a dead pixel in an LCD screen, if this phenomenon spreads to the neighboring pixels over time, then its a very bad thing... otherwise, i am not bothered at all..
We need this thread each time there is a new phone which amoled screen? ..
The sgs2 has this as well as the sgs3 the note 1 etc.
it's not a defect, it's a limitation of amoled screen production.

Sorry, what you say here its not possible! EVERY amoled 'suffers' from this ('cause it CANNOT display 100% blacks, due to it's active matrix)! If you won't see it it's because of a wrong method or your eyes!

vertical lines. blobs..etc

am i the only one that is noticing this? while its not as apparent as it was on t989, this phone seems to have blobs, vertical lines and other screen defects
link to the issue thread for t989
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300133
ive went through 2 phones(one had physical defect) and both had this issue, so im going to guess its probably pretty widespread.
anyone wanna check their phones for these as well?
since blobs, lines are not acceptable on a 600dollar phone like this
To find the blobs/lines, look at grey background at night with no other lightsource than the phone itself.
Mine has a small line but it's like dead in the middle of the screen.

mine too, only 3 small blobs, and a line
the thing with these screens is that the oleds are controlled by a voltage regulator, and when you turn the brightness down the voltage regulator can't neccearily provide enough voltage to the screen, which causes the issue we have
i was hoping samsung would have fixed this issue by now..its a surprise that they havnt
just to add
this is the kind of technology samsung needs;

nothing does indeed, which is why im glad my credit card gave me a 2 year warranty on this phone
in either case, ive posted this so people are aware that this issue exists, should they take action against samsung
The 1st unit I had were free of dark lines; but I am confident that it had the mura effect as well but was much harder to find since the dots were concentrated on the edges (near the bezel) of the display; if you look carefully at all the T-Mobile note 2's, they all have the AMOLED issue. I did notice on my first unit extremely faint stains throughout the display just like in the demo unit (in black background), but the lines were not there and hardly any dots. However, the whites on my 1st unit were somewhat dull, not as bright as the demo unit at the store, and had a yellow tint on the 2nd half of the display, and a light pinkish hue to some extent at the center of the display in a full white background, and also had faint horizontal lines (only when looked carefully) at lowest brightness in a white background (which became worse and more prominent over time).
My 2nd unit, though it does have a 1cm black line in the middle of the display, with 3 or 4 dots on the top and bottom left of the display, the whites are true whites, and the display is much brighter than the 1st unit I had. No yellow tint to be found, no pinkish hue, and no faint horizontal lines at low brightness and white background! Surprisingly, the color and brightness uniformity are flawless on my 2nd Note 2 (throughout the display, white is white, even brightness) , compared to the '3' Galaxy S2's, '1' Note 1, and 1st Note 2 I owned in the past. Best of all, the build quality on my 2nd unit is also better, no squeaking bezel or back cover, and hardly any blemishes on the bezel. The light which was leaking through the home button is almost gone after a couple of weeks of use.
So far, it seems like my 2nd Note 2 is a safe and clear winner; really hard to find a unitform AMOLED display these days and my 2nd Note 2 just so has one.
Why send something back as a result of finding the slightest chance of a mura effect when you might get something worse in return.
Like many say on the forum, "I guess you can't get it all."

[Q] Galaxy Nexus Top Half Screen darker

Hi,
I have an issue with the screen of my Gnex.
I tried to post the question in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1394358 but i received still no answer.
My Gnex had a yellowish tint on entire display, but i have resolved the problem setting up colors with trickster mod.
The issue is that the top half of the display is a bit darker than the bottom half, it looks to be a little yellowish than half bottom.
It can be seen on a completely white background.
I noticed also that looking at the display at about 45° from bottom to top the color seems to become uniform.
Can be this problem due to the fact that the touch screen is curved from the half to bottom and not from the half to top?
The display itself is just flat and this may create a sort of refraction thru the touch glass.
I was not able to see a brand new Gnex till now because i buyed mine by second hand.
What about your gnex device?
I would like to know if it's a real defect or not because I have to decide buying a brand new replacement display.
Thanks you in advance for your answer.

Galaxy Nexus has content adaptive brightness turned on by default for the screen and the messaging app is white, apps like facebook are a light color as well. So when you pull up the keyboard, the total white color is reduced and the one that is left is turned up to a higher brightness. Which causes faster degradation of blue oleds on the top half. Turn off content adaptive brightness in trickster mod to prevent this from happening further.

Thanks for the answer, i had already disabled the content adaptive brightness, but the strange thing is that the top area where there is the notification bar is more yellowish than the area where there's the navigation bar when I hide them. Both bars generally are black for the same time but the pixel degradation seems to be different. This made me thinking that the color shade is due to a sort of refractive effect due to the curved glass. As I wrote previously, looking from bottom to top at about 45 degrees the solid white looks to turn uniform.
I also changed the color of the keyboard to white to avoid to use different colors on both top half and bottom half.
Also disabled the crt animation because this burns a stripe in the middle of the screen. My brightness is always set at 20 percent.
Thanks very much for your suggestion anyway
