I have two Galaxy S II's and one has no lines what so ever, but it looks very yellow and dingy. The other looks richer but it has the lines. You have blobs/streaks, you just can't see them.
When I got my first SGSII I had those pesky lines and blobs, exchanged it at a local Tmo for a new one and the issue was gone for me too.
I have looked very carefully and I can confirm, lines are non existent
Check the back to see where yours was made, maybe the korean models were defective
Maybe we'll get lucky one day and Samsung will get sued or something and issue recalls
wishful thinking...
You want proof
Here's a pic as it came on the box
When the other poster said pics, this isn't what they had in mind. They were referring to pictures with the screen on lowest brightness in a dark room viewing the blobs.jpg.
This would provide "proof" that your screen has no lines or blobs.
here's what you do. download a pure black picture. when it is night time. put that picture up on your phone and turn off the lights. take a picture with no flash. upload here.

He really doesn't need to prove anything. If he finds it perfect then. So be it. The issue is just a placebo effect.

Or you could dial #*0#* in dialer like everyone else. And its come to a point to where ppl don't even care to notice the blobs, I could care less if they were there or not. But good thing you got your fix OP

DID YOU RUN THE blobs.jpg TEST? The black vibration test hides the flaws. A near black screen like grey shows it. Hell, I don't know who, but as someone said, opening the XDA app itself shows the flaws.
EDIT: DO YOU EVEN HAVE THE SGH-T989 PHONE? LOL.
if the XDA app splash screen has lines going through it...then yeah you have a T-mobile SGSII
Turn your brightness all the way down (not really necessary but it just shows the lines even more) and open XDA app, TADA, wood grain son.
I can confirm that the blobs and all have certainly been lessened. I just got this white model a little less than a week ago and the screen quality has vastly improved.

I'll run all these test Saturday. If my wife and I can upgrade.....not sure if we have the money.
I was just messing around I totally believe you I have seen t989's with good screens I just can't seem to get one.
I just had my phone replaced because of a power button issue.
Didn't notice with the first one, not sure if it had it, but at the bottom of the screen there is a slight tint of blue in color shift vs the top of the screen.
Kind of like a blue haze coming up from the bottom of the screen about a inch or so.
If you put on a white screen and look at the top then bottom you I see the shift in color.Mainly on white or grey color though.
Is this normal or did I get another bad one do you think?
Yep same situation happened to me.. unless u dont mind. Get a new one.

He he yeah it would bug me.
Guess it goes back.
I am having great luck. 2 with issues ha ha
Yeah well.
Thanks for the advice though.
The store is going to love me brining back another one
There seems to be some build quality issues.
Well it is about 3:30 here now and I am off to take this back to the store here in FL to see if they will take it back.
Wish me luck.
Will let you all know what I find.
Sorry for the late reply.
Forgot to when I got home.
Just showed them the color shift in the store and that it was on all screens and not just a particular app and they set me up with another one.
Screen on the display unit that didn't have the haze and the new one both look good, but not quite as bright whites as the one that did have the haze to it.
But I am okay with that.
I had a green tinted area in the top half of the screen showing on white and dark screen backgrounds. I came across someone whos screen turned completely green one day and didnt work at all afterwards so I took mine back to be on the safe side. Im now on my 3rd S4 in a week. Still love this phone
Hi all.
I've received my brand new LG G3 32GB international D855. Awesome phone, really.
Anyway I've encountered some hardware related problems:
1st I've noticed that top and bottom of the screen are brighter, but I think it's due to the LCD technology itself (used amoleds in the last 3 years so a different technology with different and, imho, worse problems).
2nd, and the topic of this question, my camera is showing few very light scratches on the back lens. From my tests, fortunately, I realized that they're not visible in any kind of photo.
I used a cover and a screen protector since I unboxed.
My question is: is anyone experiencing similar issue? Is the lens so easy to damage?
I'm pretty worried because my Note 3 never showed a scratch in 7 months used without any kind of protection...

I have also used a bumper case since the 1st day. I checked my camera lens just now and did not notice any scratches. I think it might be a manufacturing fault.
Not sure my G2 had a ton of scratches too but it never came out in photos... so you should be A-OK... maybe just different glass types.
Note 3 has other quality issues *shakes* lol. S Pen die much? lol.
Meanwhile I realised that the issue with the screen is an actual problem called screen bleeding, related to LCD's back illumination.

I've had mine since 2 days prior to main release (know a guy, mwohaha)
I managed to drop it from my hand, when falling asleep in my chair after working with some stuff for 12h straight - it fell on the floor, and slid a good 20-30 cm across dust, and some "gravel particles" from my shoes - camera facing down. NO scratches.
I'm actually quite impressed

So they sent me a butter unity?
Wasn't sapphire indestructible?
Anyway I removed cover and the screen protector, actually they only covered the beautiful design... Just try a few day without nothing and see if the situation deteriorates.

I guess you got a faulty unit; I'd send it in to LG, or at least go on the live chat. That should do the trick, I hope!
sounds like a manufacturing fault. just swap it...i used the bumper too no scratches so far

If I'm not wrong I have 2 years to have free reparations/replacements right? Scratches aren't affecting my photos and are only barely visible with naked eye and only in determinated light conditions. If the problem becomes worse or photos will deteriorate I'll update this thread with my experience with LG's warranty system.
For now this phone rocks.

I've noticed some "light leaks" on the top and the bottom of the screen. It's nothing so disturbing, but it's not acceptable in a high end phone like the G3. :/
Anyone else noticed this? Is more visible when you're seen a darker color on the entire screen.

I've also, but it's very hard to notice and when watching films or playing games is almost invisible.
Anyway guys I've an update for you: I'm not crazy scratches are very visible under direct light and I'll definely contact the seller...
Little update
Sent the phone back to the shop (yes, directly to the seller because it was less than 10 days I have bought it :victory, it should get there on Monday.
Let's see if the screen leaky borders, creacky cover and most important buttery lens are enough for a replacement :fingers-crossed:
I'll update you when the shop will contact me.
Another and last update
The shop received the faulty phone today and replaced with a new one
I should get it tomorrow :victory:

I'm testing it now, they also replaced the wall charger that produced a kind of electric noise (and I forgot to tell them it did...)
Another update after the screen tests.
EDIT:
Anyway, a note: the "old" G3 had a "tight" USB which was a pain to plug... the new one works as it should
the "old" G3 had orrible blacks... the new one has very darker blacks
The screen still have the barely visible blue bar on top (seem to be a G3 feature) and has little brighter bottom borders... so I think it's the LCD itself and not a defect. I tested the screen with a simple app called something like Screen Test and every color is uniform (no illumination problems, darker bars/leaks, nothing.
THIS PHONE DOESN'T HAVE AM/PM BUG!
EDIT2:
LOL, AM/PM bug still present

By any chance can you tell me if you have a model with revised hardware? Because i thought all G3's had a hard to plug in usb (including mine).
About the borders i seem to have them too. I think its normal because i can notice them on all lcd displays like the iphone.
On the lowest screen brigtness, during day light my navigation bar is darker than the black bezel on the phone so i assume that yours is the same correct?
And my charger also starts hissing when charging the phone. Weird thing is it also makes the phone hiss when i have earphones on. I dont know if i should be worried.

Accessed phone infos from dialer and it says rev 1.0 like the "old" one.
Yeah I've set brightness to auto and the navbar is barely visible, not like an amoled but the "old" phone had blueish black which was horrible while watching movies even in a dark room with brightness set to minimum
And the new wall charger has the same problem so I think it's normal and it shouldn't explode
I'm not sure about the headphones+charger issue, sorry.
I can hear interference with earphones but I'm not sure of what you mean...

Yeah i thought so.
The blacks are normal to be a little bluish. All lcd are like that and even mine to a small degree.
Thank you for your reply lol. Good luck with your phone buddy
Scratched? How about fully cracked!
First - the phone was not dropped or have any impacts other than what you might get from walking with a phone in your pocket. Other than normal daily use, safe handling and really careful use the phone had nothing happen to it. I cannot pick even a medium bump that happened, but now I have a cracked lens with a hole exposing the camera beneath. LG is warning me that 'mishandling' is not covered ... I certainly did not mishandle the phone in any way.

I dont know if my eyes are just completely bugging out or if what im seeing is true. I got my replacement note 7 yesterday and everything went well but then i saw a red/pink tint towards the bottom of the screen i started to freak out but decided that i would let it fly til Monday or so hoping that its just glue or something drying up. Its more noticeable when the screen is on a full white screen or if the bottom/edge part of the screen is white but other than that you can't see it at all.

Sounds like a display issue. My Note 4 had half the screen streaked/covered with a similar color. It was really similar to what the blue-light filter looks like when turned about half way up actually. But it was only on about half the display, and in streaks so was more of a bother because it wasn't the entire screen. I honestly only really noticed it when I was reading my kindle app on my phone with the lights turned off, otherwise it really wasn't very noticeable in normal lighting conditions. Upon reading about this on google this can happen to these kinds of displays that Samsung uses. Might be something to send the phone back for a replacement. I'd really have to see a pic to know enough to know for sure though.
Sounds like a defect. Bound to be a few. Try massaging that area of the screen fairly hard and see if there is any change.

I had that issue on my silver Note 7 and opt to exchange it (after many rounds of persuasion and complaints with at least 3 Samsung technicians). Some see it, some don't. This happened right before the recall.
Thought it was only a random unit of mine, but since you also raised this issue, could be more widespread. FYI, my unit was international version. Also same pinkish hue at the bottom. My replacement unit (before the recall) did not have this issue.
My note 7 recall replacement is not here yet (Samsung announced our replacement only available officially on 29 Sept in my country). I too hope my recalled-replacement will not have the pink hue at the bottom of the screen.
So looks like my pixel XLs screen has uneven white tones. There is a slight pink tinge on the left side that you can see when the Night Light mode is on. Or any dark grey backgrounds. And white is warmer on the right than the left. Do you guys think this will go away or should I just exchange it? That's the only thing I find defective. Besides that, an awesome phone.

Unfortunately colour shift is a well know amoled screen issue. Some phones have it more than others, its just a lottery on the type of display you get.
You could see if they will let you exchange for one and hopefully get a better screen.
I have couple of S7 Edge and had a one plus 3, those didn't have any issues. My Nexus 6P had it the worse and got it exchanged couple of times till I got the right one. I might have to do this for the pixel. Sigh... Hate that about AMOLED

I went through 6 samsung s6's because of this. my note 5 and 7 were perfect.
At the price we paid i would exchange it until its near perfect.

If it bothers you, exchange it. Samsung has gotten better this year - both my Note7's had ZERO color shift on white which was a first for me. So far my Pixel XL looks pretty great, but I haven't tried looking too hard to see if it is a problem.

Samsung phones don't if you have the profile set to dynamic or whatever it is, it's the mode that over saturates everything. If you put it to natural then it's the same as the pixel.

OP's thread title refers to white balance which would mean color calibration/profiles, but the content of his post is actually a problem with screen uniformity. Changing the color calibration is not going to do anything if his panel is not uniform in displayed color.
Bottom half of my screen is super pink. Top half and bottom half of screen are very different colors on white and gray screens. Used the support option in the settings menu. Will have a replacement coming in tomorrow.
I went through 3 6Ps until I got an even screen, they all had tints to varying degree but the last one I got was fine.
I'm going to get mine exchanged.

Mine has is but honestly I have noticed it to a certain extent on every device I've had that had an amoled display (I have never owned a note or GS7 so I can't comment on them) but yeah, I noticed it right away. Mine is on the top half of the screen. I'm not sure if I'm going to end up exchanging it or not because I'm sure the next one will have it to an extent too and having them hold close to a G for every exchange really would suck. lol
I think some people notice more than other people. I know I notice it on other devices when the owner never does. I had a 6p that was really bad exchanged it and got one much better. I remember one dude exchanging his like 8 times and he said every single one had it.
Note: The title of this thread sound be changed to "pinkish hue" or "pink tint" or something like that

Replacement arrived today. So far seems perfect. Brand new and screen is much better. No pink tones and white balance is perfect. Very glad I did a replacement now.
Setting up was so easy. Just plugged 2 phones together and it copied everything over to the new one.

Interesting. I called support today because my screen fades from white on the bottom to a creamy white at the top. This is with brightness at halfway. If it's at 100% I don't notice it, however it's way too bright to look at. Anyway, Google told me it was within standards and not replaceable.

They said if it's not noticeable within the top 1/3 of the brightness slider then its within spec. Honestly, it's probably something nobody else would notice, it's that slight. I wish there was some type of way to measure the white scale to prove I'm not crazy.
