Is anyone having issues with their AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 2? Particularly blobs, vertical, horizontal, dark black lines, viewed in low-brightness settings? AMOLED AMOLED AMOLED, anyone?
Sounds defective to me.

That's not an amoled issue...that's a defective screen issue.

Go to LCD TEST *#0*#
post your results here
A bunch of Verizon Note 2's have the AMOLED issue, any AT&T customer have it?
i have the blotches it as well :\
sucks that its defective, gonna have to go and exchange it for another
I have a problem with it in dim mode, I can see it flicker (refresh rate) it seems to me that they reduce the refresh rate to control the brightness, it causes a strobe effect. I just leave mine at the brightness that I stop seeing the strobe.
^^^ doesn't sound normal to me
try disabling auto-brightness
I have the blob thing on my screen! This person is NOT trolling.. I have no idea how to fix this and am despretley looking for a fix.. It's like a 1 inch dark blob visible at night with brightness all the way down.. ANNOYING when reading articles late at night. Anyone know any fixes?

I had the issue with blobs and lines on my Skyrocket screen, but don't see the same on my Note 2.
I exchanged my first Skyrocket because of it and the second had the same issue so I just settled.
Called At&t and just received my replacement phone. Its Perfect

Received my T-Mobile unit today, seriously perfect screen. First time ever, very happy with the AMOLED display.

My new Nexus has this bluish tint to the whites when not looking at the screen straight. I also noticed the same thing on a galaxy s2 over this weekend at the T-Mobile store. Is this a common thing on this phone and does anyone else have this?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Yes it is there since the original Galaxy S.
It's AMOLED, not LCD. I mean it's the screen technology that's producing that output, not the phone or something else. Google it, because it's a generic "problem".
OK, the reason why I asked thus is because I still have like 2 days to report anything defective with my phone.

It's normal. N1, SGS2 are like this too
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
It's a very common "issue", my GSII suffers from the same defect, but I can say that not all screens have the same degree of bluish when tilted (I've seen a few GSII that has quite no bluish at all).
Some says that it's the display coating, don't know for sure, I suggest you to check other GN (if you can, of course) and evaluate yourselt if your is more or less bluish that others
Has anyone recently gotten a new Nexus without the problems with the screen such as the purple tint, banding, inaccurate colors and grainy whites? I just got an S3 and the screen is definitely better than that of my old Nexus but I'm thinking of going back to the Nexus but I prefer the phone with a better screen lol.

If ur question is if they made a gnex with a SLCD2 than the answer is No.

My replacement phone from January is perfect. I am aware thats the luck of the draw though, considering my wife's phone is definitely NOT perfect.
My replacement Nexus (2 weeks old) is perfect. I can't believe I went that long with a bad nexus.

So basically the screens they are using in the recent Nexus phones are better? No purple tint? Banding? Grainy whites on low brightness?

Apparently if you get one with a serial number of C5 or higher there is a very good chance you will get one with a goof screen.

I just got mine yesterday and I have mad ghosting (usually from the keyboard). I was at the at&t store yesterday and the screen in the display GS3 looked nicer. I don't have any banding issues. The color temperature is closer to that of my Lumia 800 (slightly yellow whites, very vibrant blues) than my finally retired Nexus One (first gen AMOLED, very high K whites, almost blue, washed out reds).
Where can I check the serial number?

Hard to draw a conclusion
We have 4 Gnexes, and two of them have gone back to Samsung for new screens, so I guess we've had 6 screens all told. I don't think I can draw a conclusion based on build date...
My son has the oldest of the 4, and his screen is nice.
Mine is the next oldest, and the screen was good from day-1, and the newly installed (dropped it) screen is really good.
My daughter's is 2nd newest, and her screen is OK, but not as good as mine. Hers got a new screen before my wife got her phone, and that one is OK, too.
My wife's phone is the newest (march or April?) (with the exception of my replaced screen), and has looked dreadful the whole time, but she doesn't seem to mind it.
My phone is 3 weeks old now. I have no 'grainy' things going on. I do have banding with the color 'grey'. I tested it with the app called 'LCD TEST' free from Google Play. I tested every color and I only got banding with the color 'grey'. The rest looks ridicilously good!
I do have to say that my Old Omnia II with an Amoled screen was good. I could see the pixels easily. (3.7", 800x480)
I can also see the pixels on my Galaxy NEXUS with ease. But these pixels are way smaller but still noticeable. Because of that the screen does not look as sharp as I thought it'd be. But still it looks WAY better than my Omnia II's Amoled screen. Also blows the Galaxy S' screen away (which I've compared my Galaxy NEXUS to)
So it seems the screens issues are really just a hit and miss. I wish they would use the same screen tech they use in the S3 :/ I'm missing jelly bean but I don't want to go from a better screen to one with problems ...decisions decisions lol

I received my Nexus on July 6th from the playstore. The screen looks fantastic to me. Blacks are black, as for whites I'm not sure what grainy is really supposed to mean. I don't think there's any graininess.
Guys look at the pic.when i watch video i am always getting these black spots. They appear only in black scenes.Look at the girls hair.how to fix it?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Problems with the panel itself aren't going to show up in a screenshot...
Lots of people notice/complain about these spots though, ever since the phone came out. Its just part of the inconsistency of manufacturing AMOLED screens. Some panels are worse than others. If it bothers you enough, ask for a warranty replacement.
the worse part of this phone..wtf!!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
is this a common issue among the nexus? is it serious?
I cannot see what you mean, but I never understood why people complain about the screen of their gnex. Either I have a screen from a good batch, or I'm just not noticing what others refer to.

Common on any phone with an AMOLED screen. There are inconsistencies like banding, ghosting, blotchiness, etc.. Is it serious? Depends how picky you are.
It's common...
Mine looks like a severe case of chicken pox. Also have a terrible yellow screen, but ever since I installed a screen protector it seems to have fixed some of the coloring.

I don't know much about differences in screen besides what DPI and resolution is, but yesterday I was looking at some pictures and icons on my S3 and iPod 4gen and I noticed that the iPod screen was much much brighter than the S3. And because of that I was able to distinguish gradients and textures better.
So my question is, is the screen on the S3 dimmer than on purpose or is my screen defective.
-- just in case anyone was wondering I had both devices on full brightness.
--something I noticed was that if I put the iPod at half brightness, then that would be about as bright as my S3 on FULL brightness.

Did you try turning the brightness on your s3 up?
Edit: oops I see that you did. I dunno take it to a store and compare your screen to another s3.
-Sent from my GS3 running CM10.-
Yes. The screen is dimmer. Samsung cut the maximum display power to 1.3 watts allowing for a longer battery life because of how big the screen is. Also has to do with the candelas per sq inch on a screen.

Ah I see. Is there a way to maybe to make the screen brighter some how by increasing the voltage or something.

You are comparing apples to oranges. The S3 uses samoled+, which presents blacks much deeper and whites so so. This makes for brighter whites and not so deep whites on the crapples devices giving the illusion of brighter screens. Just like comparing a plasma to an LCD. Yes there is an app to make the screen brighter, and you must be rooted. Just install the app and run it, must be clicked once per boot to work as it runs a command in the interactive shell.
Thread cleaned a bit.
Always fond of this saying: "Work the problem, not each other."
Has anybody else used that apk? Does it work? I don't want to mess up my brightness levels using it. I should be able to reboot and go back to normal but still cautious about trying it.

You have to have autobrightness disabled and turn the brightness all the way down before running it. I am using it and the results are blinding !

I still can't get it to work. I turn off automatic brightness, then lower it all down and run the app, then increase the brightness back up and still the same.

Thanks for the advice but that's not my problem. My problem is I think my screen may be going out. Every so often it will have a weird blue/off colored fragmentation on the screen. Its similar to the old upside down 10.1 issue but its not that. Its kinda hard to explain.

These are amoled displays and with amoled displays after say 3 years of use you get something called "burn in" which make the blue LED lights get dim and dimmer over time which causes the screen to have an off look. You cau can prevent this by keeping your phone on low brightness and changing the screen style to "movie" which reduces the saturation of the colors. Even high end devices like the Note 2 will be eventually affected by this
