As I posted in the G2 forum, my G3 develops yellow streaks on the narrow power connection side of my G3.
This appears to happen when the phone gets warm. From my online searches, this seems to be a common issue with many LG products.
There has been some mention that it could be glue related. I can't speak to that, but I can say that the streaks do go away when the phone is not as hot/warm from my experience so far.
Now I can say that I have the Verizon Quick Circle Wireless Charging case... perhaps the streaks never occurred before obtaining the case, I don't recall... but I've only had the phone so many days, so I'm thinking that's not related. Under G2 (or Nexus by LG?) I believe someone mentioned you're not supposed to leave it charging overnight, which as stated would imply a great weakness in the design (battery or otherwise) as many individuals commonly prefer to charge their phones all night while sleeping.
I suppose I can live with it if the streaks continue to go away when cooled down, as I don't notice the streak when the background is generally darker. If the streaks expand beyond how it gets now, that might be a bit more disturbing. Fortunately when the streaks are there, they are very close to the edge of the display, parallel to the narrow side where the power connection is located.

Hello XDA, long time lurker here. Just got a new GSM Galaxy Nexus from negri electronics. Everything is as it should. First thing to do was to check the screen. Using a dead pixel app, I managed to find just one but felt like I could live with it (plus it has to be 5+ to be considered defective for negri electronics exchange).
The problem is I am noticing what seems to be a slight light leak/fade on the upper right hand of the screen. It's really not noticeable in any other colors except for gray/dark gray colors. Unfortunately, most of ICS apps (market, settings) have a band of gray on top which makes the right corner very apparent. I know that the gnex has pentile technology, and it seems that the rest of the screen does exhibit this sort of leakage/fade throughout but it is most obvious on the upper right. I'm not sure if it's attributable to a defective screen or is common amongst gnex
I'm also a bit worried due to negri's exchange policy and whether or not this would qualify. Tried to take a photo with my DSLR, can't capture it well.
Anyone else experience something like this, or noticed inconsistent quality with the display?
I've had my phone about a week and the screen is fine when I'm inside. But I noticed on the way home from work (I walk from my work, about 10 minutes away) that the more I took my phone out, the more I noticed horizontal banding. It freaked me out a bit (I bought this phone from Swappa), but as I got back in a warm environment, the banding went away. Went back out for a run and it did the same thing.
My question is:
1. Is this normal behavior for AMOLED screens, for this device, or is it a defect?
2. Will this temperature change hurt the phone? I live in Wisconsin and odds are it's going to be cold a lot.
3. Should I get a snuggie for my phone?
Never noticed any banding, perhaps i'm not really looking for it.
Will look out for it when my phone gets back from the service center..
Take mine skiing all the time. No banding.

Well I've read up a bit on horizontal banding and i know it's common with this phone. But I've never had anyone say it's temp related.

I noticed this as well with my phone. I had horizontal banding all the time, but the banding seemed to be more pronounced when the phone was cold.
I returned it for a screen replacement under warranty and just got it back about a week ago. The banding is now gone and I don't see it when the phone is cold, either. I don't think the banding is normal but, if it is occurring, it can be made more noticeable when the phone gets cold.
Breaking news : the GN screen is crap.*
*there aren't any existing threads about it on XDA, not a single one. /s
When you say banding do you me slightly darker stripes (almost like shadows) or do you mean bright white horizontal stripes where no information can be seen.
I live in the north of Sweden and often subjected my old Galaxy S to -10 to -20°C. I would quite often see white banding or rows of white pixels. These always disappeared whed the phone was taken inside. The phone still works faultlessly today.
For me, the horizontal bands were linear "shadows" of lower screen-brightness alternating with linear areas of normal brightness. There is no loss of information.
After the screen replacement, I would say the screen is as nice as on any phone I've used. My last phone was a Nexus One, and the new screen is comparable in quality to the one on the N1.
Hello,
I just got "new" Nexus 7, and I think it is a great device, but there is one thing that bothers me. The display has color temp uniformity issues. If I hold Nexus front camera top, screen gets yellowish towards bottom of the device. It is a slight deviation, not yellow spots, but I can see it, and my brain keeps focusing at it . Of course, it is most noticable on pure white background.
So, I wanted to ask, is this a common behavior? Does every (or many) Nexus 7s have the same color temp issue, or do you have perfectly even display, and mine is somehow corrupted? Thank you
We have the exact same thing with the two of our activated Nexus 7's (16GB), probably same batch. Bluish on the camera side, yellowish on the usb port side. On top of that mine seems to have a speck of dirt behind the glass... It's barely noticable with normal usage though. I'm considering buying a 32GB model and selling this one. I'm guessing (hoping) it's not too common, since this is the only post I could find about this (slight) issue.
I have a visible light strip at the top of the display... what should I do? I say to myself I don't care but it annoys me because I keep noticing it.
Here pictures, please check them out:

That's light bleed - light seeping from the backlight into the edges of the display. Happens when the display is compressed/bent during installation into the phone. Nothing you can do about it but get the phone exchanged if it bothers you that much. However, if you exchange it, it's the luck of the draw - you might get a better one or a much worse one.
Unfortunately, all LCD displays are prone to this, as manufacturers would have to reject something like 50% of them otherwise - I had to go through SIX brand-new 27" Dell monitors before I found two that I could live with - and they're still far from perfect.
I had to exchange my iPad Mini twice to get a good display, and my Nexus 9 three times. It's totally random. Got lucky with my G4 that has a perfect screen (though I had to exchange it, too, as the first one had dust stuck between the front glass and the display panel).
Manufacturers just have really low "acceptable quality" standards to maximize profits/units sold, as many people will never notice those issues.

I see thanks, I had some light bleed (I knew what it is didn't remember the english word LOL) on my N4 too but nowhere near this and it didn't seem like a solid strip more random...
Sent it back... hope I got luck with the next one, and hope Amazon is quick my current phones battery is pretty much dead...
I've had this phone less than a year. Bought it new. There were zero screen issues before this. Not even a hint. And the performance is unchanged.
Yesterday, out of nowhere, I got something like a clear vertical woodgrain distortion evenly across the entire screen. Didn't drop it. It hasn't been through anything new or had new apps. It wasn't even overheated.
The distortion has since become more varied. Sometimes woodgrain-pattern lines (both even and irregular) and sometimes bloom. Sometimes the colors just fade (usually this has a mix of faded and non-faded vertical lines.
I've noticed that when I turn the screen on and off it usually clears up completely, then the screen issues start after only a minute or so.
I'd rather not have to go through the nightmare of the warranty process if I don't have to. Does anyone know what the issue might be?
