Is this line on my screen normal?

I've noticed a couple of long lines on my Galaxy Nexus and am wondering if my screen is defective. There is a line going down the the screen on the upper right to the right of top stories and one going from left to right between Sacramento and the temperature.

I don't see any line in that screenshot. Could be a screen defect.

Check again. I uploaded a better picture.

If its a defect with the screen, it doesn't show up in a screenshot....
A screenshot shows what's being sent to the screen, not what the screen eventually shows.

Probably a defect, can't see it.

There's no line there. It must be your display.

We don't know because we can't see it with a screenshot! Everything in these screenshots is 100% normal.
D'oh.... take a picture of the screen on with another camera. that's the only way we can see wtf you're talking about...

Yes there is a line there. It's called design.

The line going left to right between Sacramento and the temperature is part of the design (clearly, because it shows up in the screenshot and I have the same look on my phone). There's no line up top, at least not the one separating the tabs lol. Since the screenshot you had uploaded before had that area circled, I'm guessing that there's something wrong with your display there.

Why is this even on page 2.
OP, do YOU see this line issue in the screenshot?
If it's yes, then nothing's wrong with your screen.
If it's no, then there's something wrong with your screen.

Ok here's another screenshot with a gray screen with brightness set to 100%. I want to know if this is normal with these types of screens.

Are you referring to the horizontal banding (normal)? If not, I don't see anything abnormal.

PLEASE. READ. READ. READ.
If there is a problem with YOUR screen, WE cannot SEE it in a screenshot. A screenshot does not show US defects in YOUR screen. Simply taking a screenshot, and putting on your own computer next to the same image on your actual phone will tell you right away if it's your phone or not.... Why won't you just listen...
smh.

Alright I have banding and read on some forums that a replacement fixes the issue. Does anyone know how long is the turnaround time for repairs?

That banding is normal. There is nothing wrong with your screen. If you did have a screen issue it won't show up in a screen shot anyways, you're just capturing screen input.

Ok well I think my screen is defective because I looked at the thread showing pictures of the GN screen and what's normal and what's not and the attached picture is what I'm seeing on my screen (transparent line) and the poster said that is not normal.

Yeah... you've got some vertical banding. That's not a unique problem you have, as many others users get it as well. Not much you can do except for get a replacement screen or phone and pray the new one doesn't have it. But in most cases, you're going to have the banding on low brightness on the Gnex.

Great battery on 4.0.4

Well i must say its a great improvement heres what ive got so far...

3 hours of screen on time with basically zero other usage other than what appears to be a few minutes of some motorcycle game?
Are you just turning your screen timeout to infinite, turning the phone on, and letting it sit to see how long it goes?

Wow, that's pretty good. You could theoretically get ~6 hours screen time with the entire battery which was unheard of prior to 4.0.4. I believe it was generally accepted that approximately 4 hour screen time is usually the max.

THAT is the actual battery improvement, the phone itself uses like next to none to run now, only the screen draining. I went from around 25% Android OS to like 3-4% (as well as other core apps went down).
I use my phone extensively (although no games), and my screen % is like 75-80% (at 95% of the time being minimum brightness [5])

Android OS used 3-4% before the update as well. The ~25% was a bug in AOSP 4.0.2 and 4.0.3. It just showed high use, but wasn't actually draining that much.

No story here. Just a fixed bug.

I'd think that a lot of this power savings comes from not using the LTE modem and just using CDMA. But I'm probably wrong. Makes me wish the 4.0.4 update would arrive here.

I see no change thus far with 4.0.4

Are u on the ota from the uploaded url, or the factory image from google? Iam on factory. Most people will say it dosnt make a diferance, but i am on factory wich will do a complete full wipe and will run 4.0.4 as if you got it out the box with a new nexus.

I'm seeing modest improvements:
autobrightness, 2h music, 4h 3g data, rest of wifi, stock kernel, interactive 350-1200
This is pretty good for stock kernel compared to 4.0.2 . It's slightly better than what I usually get with imo's kernel on 4.0.2

Galaxy SIII eye movement screen on for Nexus?

SIII has a feature that tracks eye movement to keep the screen on while you read. This is the only feature it has that i wish my Nexus had. Anyone know if this is an apk or app that can be ported to the Nexus?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Believe it has a sensor that is used that the nexus does not. I am not positive on this though.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

If we can get a full dump from a GSIII we can port it, assuming of course it doesn't require touchwiz libs/framework/etc.
Also have to get it to work with our front facing camera.

I think so too but otoh if working properly and efficiently it should save on the button usage and should save on a quicker screen off since screens are the battery munchers. And so far initial reviews say the gs3 is great on battery and many reviewers like the feature. If the gs3 had software buttons i would be an early adopter. Oh well. More nexus for me.

Download Screebl from the Play Store. Keeps your screen on if it detects the phone is being used at various angles. Much better than killing your battery with an always on sensor or camera.

Not really. I've read somewhere that the way it works is that it snaps a pic with front camera just before the screen turns off and uses the same face detection the face unlock does.

Not to mention that it requires the sensors to stay active at all times, even when screen is off.

Basically, it uses the phone's gyroscope to detect how the phone is being held in order to keep the screen on. It's a very good app.

I didn't say I didn't know that. It uses the gyroscope which is far less of a battery hog than having a camera constantly tracking your eyes.

The point is the person I quoted said it was better than having a sensor always on when it is using a sensor that is also always on.

This is what I got after using it for watching a lot of videos on youtube, take some pictures/1080p video, listen to music and some web browsing over wifi. Not data connection and brightness in automatic ( used it indoors and outdoors )
4 hours screen time I think its pretty decent, its almost what I used to get with my galaxy note.
So very impressed with the battery, becouse I always heard that it sucked. Whats more, I already bought one 2000mA becouse of these comments. I guess I will get even better battery life then

Screen Tint with viewing angle!!

So it mainly happens with the white colour when i look directly at the screen everything is perfect but when i adjust the viewing angle even slightly the white colour gets this bluish tint is tht normal??
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

It's exactly opposite for me. When I look at it from a straight angle (90°) it looks Yellowish, but when I angle it at 45° the screen becomes pure whitish.
Again, each and every AMOLED screen is different. If I were you I'd not bother to replace the unit.

I too have a tint when viewed at angle, but all my amoled screens i used before had a tint at an angel...it doesn't bother me much

hundreds of posts about it in perhaps also hundreds of threads through the device forums.
as i told in a lot of posts: had to switch through more than 10 note1 screens to get a perfect one,
atm i'm on my 4th note2... i will wait until the 64gb versions are out and start the search again!
