So I recently started to notice a vertical line (or lines) on some screens. This normally happens in dark gray-ish backgrounds which are used in many apps as night mode or loading screens.

This is also the place where the see through part of the case begins, when it's closed. The reason I say this is because the case that came with the phone works very weirdly - it does nothing when I close the flap normally, but when I fold it behind the phone it will lock the screen and go into "case mode".
My friend has the same phone and says his works normally, I'll try to get my hands on his phone / case to do some more experiments..
I understand that I should exchange the phone but given that it isn't even sold in my country and there isn't any stock left at the moment, I want to try to solve this if possible.
Has anyone here got the same issue ? Or any experience with such an issue ?
I used to have similar things, only worse, on my older amoleds (Motorola was pretty bad ) but I thought this has since been fixed - just checked my pixel and there are no lines or spots ..

My comparison with mate 9 pro and pixel XL :
I've highlighted the lines that are visible to me with my eyes (not thought the camera) I understand that camera shows a lot of blemishes on all screens but there are clear lines on Huaweis and nothing on the pixel when I look at it .
Bonus galaxy s7:
Also perfect when not looking through the camera ...
Edit: I should also add that this 'defect' is much more noticeable on the PD, even though I can see some lines on the Pro I wouldn't have noticed them through normal use, I think .

Hi, I bought my nexus 7 in 2013, it had Kitkat 4.4.4 for most of its time, I never rooted it.
However about three months back I noticed a strange thing that I could only pull down the notification bar from the very left and right ends of the screen.
Since I was a bit skeptical I did installed a touch screen test app named "Yet Another MultiTouch Test" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rn.yamtt and tested the screen responsiveness, then I found out that a slight strip on the top edge of the tough screen had become unresponsive rest of the screen was fully responsive. For the clear visualization please refer to the following illustration as I didn't took a screen shot at that time.

I didn't consider it as a big issue as it didn't get in the way of using the device.
Eventually I updated to android lollipop and the touch screen issue still existed as same as when the device was on kitkat 4.4.4, but from last couple of weeks my touch screen issue seem to increase over time not full vertical strip has gone unresponsive to touch.
After going through many threads I even took the back cover off and check if the touch screen connectors are intact. The only thing I didn't try was software mods as I doubt that would help me because used this for almost a year without any issue.
I never dropped the device the screen shows no damage or whats so ever.
So I shall be much be thankful if anybody could help me find where the defect is.
Hello everyone. I'm new here
I'm a new user of the LG G4. Quite happy with it right now. But I have a problem that I'm not sure if it's an issue or not.
On the top side of the screen (notification bar) I see a brighter light on the top that diffuse down (I don't know how to explain it)
I tried to take photos of it, but it doesn't appreciate too much. (I tried editing the contrast in the first one to make it more visible)

I wonder if anyone have this issue too, if it's normal or not. Thanks in advance.
Lol. This is by design.
That could be screen bleed where the LCD isn't bonded properly and allows addition light in from the backlight. I would compare with other G4s and get it replaced if needed.
If they give you crap about returning it just tell them the headphone port is randomly staticy.
Try to test it with full black baground with dead pixel test app from play store and on dark room.
Before try this go to settings and do the navigation buttons invisible to dead pixel app to test all screen. If you see very much light bleed then you must go to replace it. If you no then keep your phone and n'joy because you can say it normally. Many ips screens had this bleed.
If you don't want this your only way is Amoled.
Thanks for all your answers. I wasn't sure if that was normal, because I come from a S4 with Amoled and didn't have this issue. But for what I'm reading, it is normal. I think I would try to find other G4 and see if that happens too.
I have an LG G4
Funny thing is last night i noticed the exact same thing when i realised all the icons on the notification bar had burnt into my screen up there too which got me worried, maybe its all LG G4's maybe just ours but im not happy at all
I just purchased a Tab Pro 8.4 (mondrianwifi).
Love it and it's great. However, I quickly noticed something under the glass that might or might not be normal. It could be part of the manufacturing since it is so perfectly in the middle, past the display, and under the glass.

I am asking here because I ordered online and the device no longer has any retail presence to compare with in person. So, if anyone could tell me if they see or don't see the same, I appreciate it.
Thanks!
Hello,
I can't tell from the pictures if it's the same issue I had, however it probably is and I can see you are using the "clip" style case, I had the same / similar issue with this tablet where the screen would develop bubbles or what looked like bubbles (still not sure exactly what it is).
Basically it's an "easily fixable" defect with the tablet, it's caused when using a certain type cases that clip onto the tablet edges (even the official book cover case causes it!)..... if you want, try to remove it out of the case and leave it overnight face down and see if the "flaw/bubble" goes away or gets better, if it does then you will have to get a case that doesn't use the clip mechanism (I choose the minisuit rubber case for mine since it holds from above),the bubbles have never returned back since and it has been over 1 year.
you can see see my posts here when I had the issue and how I ended up solving it. (and yes mine did start out as a small dot like yours have then slowly spread to what you see in my pics)

Edit: thought I would show a current picture.
and here is my tablet today under the intensity of a florescent light - as you can see it has completely healed from the pics in that thread. (you can also see what type of case I am now using too.)
Hey all,
I'm liking my Note 7 fine, but I'm not LOVING it, and it comes down to one thing for me: the screen just isn't as vibrant as past phones (Note 5 and S7). It seems that Samsung has dulled it a bit, the colors don't "pop" in that over-saturated way they used to. Playing with the screen modes it seems the Adaptive mode is the most vibrant but even there it's noticeably duller to my eyes. It's by no means a deal-breaker, but it's my one "complaint" at the moment.
Interestingly, activating the video enhancer works wonders - when watching a video! Which is nice... but I want that thing on ALL THE TIME! I actually mentioned this to a Samsung rep in the store the other day and his answer was "well, nobody's complaining about it". Well, nobody BUT ME I guess. And I totally get that some people never liked how artificial the colors used to look on Samsung devices, and it's why the screen modes were always a great thing. I could turn on the mode that made the colors pop while others could leave it off. I just wish I could do that with this phone, but I can't.
I know there's no setting for activating that video enhancer across the board but I'm just throwing it out here in case there's a hack or app or something I'm not aware of... and if not, maybe get some enterprising dev thinking about it For me, it's taking a nearly flawless device and bringing it down just a hair. Not drastically, but a little.

Either i'm going crazy, or Screen off memo changed between the pre-battery-recall firmware and post-battery-recall.
I could *swear* the line thickness was smaller before the update.
Also, what's with the weird minus-shaped cursor when you hover?
When you start writing, it turns into a normal circle shaped cursor, but as soon as you move the pen away and bring it back to the screen, it's a little dash again, until you actually touch the screen and start writing.
I'm fairly certain it's a bug, i'm just not sure if it's just my device or if it's widespread.
I'm on the original Note 7 PH9 frimware everything is as described. Except this "line thickness" I'm not sure what you're referring to?
I can't say much about line thickness, but it does seem very responsive to pressure - maybe try using the harder grey s-pen tip instead of the stock one, which is softer?
The line is there to show you where you're lined up.
Weird, i'd swear i didn't see that line before.
So if it's there to show where you're lined up, why does it turn into a normal cursor once you touch the screen - and stays that way for as long as you keep the pen in proximity to the screen?
Re: line thickness - good point, maybe they changed the pressure/thickness responsiveness slightly, or this pen has a slightly different feel. I'll try the harder tip.
Just to be clear re: cursor, this is what i was talking about:

Sorry for the potato shots.
Looks the same as mine, US Verizon flameout-proof edition.
