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.

Ok, I'm usually pretty observant, not sure how I missed that, kinda freaked me out when i first noticed it. I've only had the phone for a couple of weeks but I use it every day at work. Thanks..

No prob
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

The flickering in that video is not a result of recording, my phone actually looks like that. crazy flickering and horizontal streaks that appear every time there is a mostly white screen (which is why doing stuff like pulling the notification bar down will stop it temporarily i think)... this happens in all apps that have a white screen such as facebook. i've tried rebooting and reflashing the ROM.
has anyone seen this before? do i have to get a new phone?
I'm on aokp milestone 5.2 with nyan 4.2

Mine is the same but only when brightness is high, if its medium it never flickers and my voodoo color settngs are not even too high or too low very strange why I gets affected only
If my screens brightness is too high

I have the same issue! But I don't run a different kernel, I run the stock kernel, and voodoo sound won't work without a kernel. What am I supposed to do now?

I had that happened to my phone and it continued. Even when I was I full stock. I took my phone to the sprint store and the. Tech said the cord was a little loose but. It still did that. I got a replacement since. It was a hardware instead of software. The phone I have now does it only when I mess with voodoo values. So it could just be a hardware issue
O. My old one was doing that from day one.

Hi,
Just a little trick for those who want the "capacitive" buttons always on (maybe not very battery friendly but...) Remember someone asked this a few weeks ago somewhere...
Obviously you need root and init.d support... You can also edit directly the brightness file in /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness but the modification will not survive after a reboot so you need to use an init.d script to load the modified value at each boot.
Put the init.d script below in /system/etc/init.d set the permissions to rwxrwxrwx, reboot, done
Here's the script: http://www.multiupload.nl/SMQWQQVBTJ
If you want to return back to stock: rename the init.d script with the .back extension or delete it.
If you want to set the "capacitive" buttons always off you need to edit the value, open the init.d script with notepad++ (on PC) or with a file explorer directly on your phone and set the value to "0" instead of "255", save, reboot, done.
Hoping that it will be useful,
Won't be using but thanks anyways, one question though, when do the HTC one buttons come on and off normally? They seem to have no specific interval
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Hi,
No worries , it works with the ambiant light so with the sensor (light->off / night->on), even if the auto brightness is on or off the capacitive buttons vary in brightness so this part is independant...
After that I'm not a dev, the only solution I found is to modifie the value by the user in one file. Maybe it's set in the framework, or kernel? i don't realy know. The auto brightness values can be changed with a modified framework-res.apk, maybe it's the same thing for the capacitive buttons . In any case I have not the knowledge and skills for this part about the "automatic" dimming...
Capacitive button in Play works well and less cumbersome. Am using it with Pie. Automatic dimming would be cool though Thanks for looking into this.

Hi,
Sorry but I don't know what you mean... or you mean a kind of greater "light graduation", not on or off like stock, at least it looks like this for me (for example some values like 0 / 100 / 200 / 255), depending of the ambient light?
Like I said, for this I have not the knowledge, maybe a dev can take a look . In any case I don't think you will see a big difference between 100 and 255 for example...
And in the path /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/ there is nothing related to the graduation, it's in the framework stuff I think...

This app now officially supports the HTC One in the latest beta version. I'm the developer of the app and I'd love to hear feedback from HTC One owners to know if it really works (since I don't have a device of my own to test on).

Yep, it has 3 settings. Thanks for the idea about auto-brightness. You are definitely not the first person to pose that idea!
Any idea how I can reduce the brightness level below the minimum? When reading in bed for instance, I find the setting to be too bright. I don’t have any other reference [FONT="]than my iPhone 4 which which has a greater range – e.g. the max brightness is roughly the same but the min brightness is much less than my Galaxy Nexus.[/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]Any suggestions are much appreciated. Still on 4.2.2 but will upgrade to 4.3 when Wug’s[/FONT] Root Toolkit is updated.
I have always used Lux Auto Brightness app. There are other options though.

You can try with screen filter

Great, thanks! I'll try those two apps.
Will give screen filter a try

I use this on my N7. Good app. I wish they'd put a scheduling ability in to it so you could have it automatically turn on and off based on time.

It has a tasker/locale plug-in built in so you can do that if you own either of those two.

I have tasker but have found its scheduling extremely unreliable. It will randomly turn the screen filter on and off over the course of even just 1 hour. It is super annoying to be reading something then all of the sudden the screen kick back to normal brightness and burn your eyes out.

You can use a task in Tasker to trigger a full screen scene overlay that acheives the same effect as screen filter. It's much more reliable and only uses one app!

I don't have this issue, better get it checked!
Guys I observed this closely and I found that this flickering occouring oly some times and it's clearly visible only in apps when I set a white wallpaper on homescreen can't see any flickering but at same time its there in browser gallery etc and when I touch screen it disapperas and reoccur when I didn't touch display but this flickering is present only for some time not continuous. I think it's not display problem but software glitch which all of u have and u guys might not noticed it

I took it to customer care yesterday and it was funny that the guy there showed me his note 3 which also have same flickering and they said that it's normal with amoled due to voltage variation at low brightness levels.So I left customer care without replacing display:victory:
Actually I don't want them to teardown my new phone so I thought of changing display after some time if it get more worse

am using latest 4.3 update I think it's problem with Indian INU firmware will be solved by 4.4 soon guess
I did a factory reset yesterday and kept brigtness above half till now I didnt have ny flickering.
I found this on web
There seems to be a
problem where the phone has problems
deciding if the software or hardware(CPU
vs. GPU) is what should be drawing the
screen… So this indecision causes it to
switch back and forth, redraw, etc….
Over at XDA there are lots of post relating
to this problem. Below is a temporary
solution to the problem
Here are the instructions!!
Temp Fix: (until they find/fix the problem)
1. Go to settings > about phone
2. Click “build number” 6 times fast
3. You’ll see “you’re now a developer” as
a notification at the bottom.
4. Go back to settings, you’ll now see
developer options above ‘about phone’.
5. Go in developer options, and click
“disable hardware overlays” under the
drawing section
This will fix the flickering!! The problem is
with android 4.2.x, the OS gets confused
and can’t decide if the CPU or the GPU
should be drawing the screen, so it flickers
do to it switching between the CPU and
GPU real fast…
Hope this helps anyone out there
experiencing this problem, and spread the
word to anyone else you know to make it
known! Loads of people are re flashing,
returning to stock, even returning their
phones because of this bug! So spread the
word to prevent others from making this
mistake.
