Lines on the screen

Any body else has this issue? I have thick vertical lines at the bottom of my
AMOLED sreen on the Galaxy Nexus.
They only show when the screen brightness are on low.
Should I get it changed under warranty?

}

This is pretty common with amoled screens, I wouldn't worry about it, its completely normal, and is only visible in dark rooms with brightness on low. Just be glad you don't have the blobs as well like all of the T-mobile Galaxy S2s have.

Cheers cbutters

yup. Mine is the same. Any replacement would likely be v similar. Forget about it.

I still think it's b.s. that for this new "Super AMOLED HD" screen that they downgraded from RGB and went back to pentile. Granted, they increased the resolution & dpi...
Apparently though, we'll have to wait until the next generation Samsung phones(after the Nexus) before they'll give us phones with "Super AMOLED HD Plus" that will be true RGB with high res & dpi.

SAMOLED. Just the way it is with whites.
That's the tradeoff for ridiculously black blacks.

I have a wide lighter coloured band horizontel across screen. Can see it when scrolling on lowest brightness. Auto mode in dark room etc. Cant see the vertical bands normally. Your eyes fix on the horizontel one while scrolling though. A replacement unit might be worse though. Grrrr.... ? Seems they all have these lighter or darker bands to some degree.

Questions about CM11 on your device

1. Can navigation button be on the right side (not below) in landscape mode. Can't find any settings about that.
2. Can general android setting be divided on 2 column like on all tablets and in stok firmware?

1. I don't know.
2. you have to edit your build.prop in your system folder. If I remember correctly, you have to set your LCD density to 260

Thanks.
But now I have 320 in stock CM11. But I will try change it on 480 maybe...

245 will give you the twin panels. SlimKat is set up like this, I switched to infected SlimKat at first to save me changing dpi every flash. Now I love it.
Sent from my LG-V500 using XDA Premium HD app

thanks
Cool. Set on 260. Very nice.
With 245 navigation bar too small

I thought that if set this parameter bigger navigation buttons goes on right side in landscape mode like on my nexus 4...maybe

I mean like this (this is screen from my Nexus4)

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

}
I don't understand why on tablet they didn't do the same.
The navigation buttons in this case would be under the right hand ...

Try going into settings and changing the resolution of the camera to a 16:9 instead of 4:3.

Boy do I feel stupid. Thank You
But I would think if you just wanted to lower the res for space reasons and so they are not that big on the computer, that it wouldn't change the appearance.
Thank you VERY MUCH

NP. But you can also select the other 16:9 options such as 6.0M and 2.4M. This resolution (3264x1836) will still look good, but you will notice a loss of details if you zoom or crop the image much.
I like that they provide multiple resolutions and aspect ratios. Using 6.0M (16:9) will use the full screen while taking pics, but it will use about 3x less storage compared to full 16.0M resolution.
For example, the same pic at 5312x2988 (16M) is about 4.3 MB, compared to 1.5 MB if you use 3264x1836.
And if you want a perfect square picture (without cropping afterward), use the 8.9M (1:1) resolution (2976x2976).

[SOLVED] Cropping issue when I try to change profile picture on Whatsapp,Instagram...

Hi guys, I hope you're doing well.
When I try to change my profile picture on many apps that need to be cropped, I just can't do it, because the picture is shown out of the screen, and I can't move properly the cropping square (the selector), I can move it only horizontally and few pixels up and down.
Here is a screenshot to make it clearer for you:

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Do you have any idea on how can I solve this ?
BTW: I'm using the firmware: WW 2.20.40.164 , and I had the same problem on previous versions.

I think this may be to do with changing DPI. Is your DPI different than stock?

Thank you for the reply.
Yes, I did change the DPI. is it the cause of the issue ? because the original DPI makes things big.

Thank you @thedavefitzy
I've reset the density and the problem seems to be solved.
But, I hate the 480 dpi !
Is there a way to change the dpi and having no issue ?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT:
I found that the best way is to reset the density whenever I want to change a pic.
And to make it easier (instead of connecting my phone to a pc and use adb), I rooted my phone, I installed a terminal emulator and I use the command:
su(enter)
wm density reset
and then I change it back to 390 (my favourite)

Display problem for fire tv stick 4k max and 5.5 inch lcd

I am trying to connect a fire stick 4k max to a 5.5 inch 4k lcd (where the hdmi interface is provided by a MI-PI board). However, here's what i get :
While booting :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and a few seconds later :
The lcd is working on windows. Also, after struggling with display configuration, I managed to make the lcd work on a RPI 4, at the desired resolution (i.e. [email protected]). I am pretty sure that it should also work with a fire tv 4k max, regarding to the first image which is in 4k (I think), but with rotation and wrong pixel positionning issues; I had something very similar on RPI4 before changing some parameters in /boot/config.txt file.
I am a total noob at android. I tried however to set the resolution and the density via adb shell,
but it didn't work...
Any Ideas or suggestions? I can send some logs if needed. Thank you in advance.

Try FireTVs resolution cycler. Hold 'up'+'rewind' on the FireTV remote for 5sec, while in FireOS.
This will cycle through all the FireTVs supported resolutions and refresh rates. It stops on each one for ~+10sec, so it will take a couple minutes. See if any return a usable picture.
I don't know about an option in FireOS to rotate the picture. That's easier done in vanilla Android. That orientation appears to be a property of the display.

Thank you for your reply. Actually, I've already tried that, but it didn't work. I also tried to force the rotation using
adb shell settings put system user_rotation 1
but still havig the same problems...
