Horizontal lines at certain viewing angles - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am not having a happy time with Nexus 7 3g
I have had a 16GB N7 since August and loved the screen
However I am now on my 3rd replacement 3g and this one appears to have horizontal artifacts on across the whole screen at viewing angles that are slightly off dead centre.
So far I my 1st 3g was very yellow, second had stuck pixel and now this, not sure if I can be bothered to go for another exchange
Anyone else seen this issue or know if it goes away over time.

I believe this is normal. I notice the lines too if you tilt the Nexus 7 at particular angles. I don't think it's a build quality issue. Is this normal guys?

Green kinda hue on the screen

Has anyone noticed a green hue on the screen, its only just noticable.
I've got my note set on maximum brightness and i only notice it on some apps that i'm using.
Take using the XDA app. When scrolling thought the threads and forums i notice that the screen takes on a slight green hue when i stop scrolling and the when i start scrolling again the screen turns white again.
Is this a known issue or could it be just my note? Can anyone else test this and get back to me with your results and opinion please.

I do have exactly the same feeling on XDA forum pages when scrolling, and more generally a green tint... Slight but there... (And I had two Notes so far. The first one exchanged because of grey shades on the screen and the second one slightly greener than the first one). An I'm sure there isn't two screens alike...
I also noticed a big red splodge when using my camera. It was in low light n i pointed it a white wall. Check it out n get back.
Does anyone think there will be a fix for all these niggles?

I have had my note for a week. Try this: lower your brightness setting to a little less than halfway. Then open up a browser page that's all white. Now tilt the screen to the side in either direction, you will see the whites become green. Let me know your observation.

It does a little but that doesnt bother me too much. Its more the scrolling i was on about in some apps, mainly noticed it in the xda app. Doesnt matter which brightness setting i have it on, i still notice it in the xda app

Duno myn just went the more I used it
it's a software problem.
i've noticed the same thing happening to me, whites becoming green in hue while browsing. this issue is especially pronounced when browsing xda using the xda app, and so to determine if it was a hardware or a software issue, i screen capped instances of the screen being normal and being greenish.
result is the greenish hue was still present even in the screen capture. pics below are the actual screenshots and a comparison with raised saturation to better show the difference.

ok, i just tried it on mines, and yes its apparent. its like when you scroll, it becomes beige but as soon as you stop, the background becomes green. i would personally keep it because i think everyone has this. also, the next device might be worse. like on mines, at first i was annoyed about the white becoming greenish when tilting the device, but based on other folks reposes, it seems that everyone's does it, so i have decided to keep mines.

I got a big GREEN splodge when pointing to a white background. This is not a screen problem, it's a camera problem. You not notice only in the screen but also in the actual picture if you take it.
Found somewhere an explanation of this problem that is general to all kind of cameras that have the sensor to near the optics.
I think Samsumg has tried to solve the PINK problem by software, just trying to apply an opposite filter to the PINK, and that's why I getting GREEN

Ive got the exact same observation... But its not that bothersome. Im thinking its in the software as its obviously not a "capability" thing. I get great whites, etc.
Im just happy with no dead pixels and damn this device is nice!

I have noticed tyr exact same Thing. When i tilt the note (not by much) the screen gets a green color. Guess that should disapear.

Black clipping (2013 thread) news from samsung.

Hi,
since i bought my note i discovered that it has black clipping issue.
The thing i've notice is that, if i set display mode to "film", in gamma test i can see up to number 3 (with a moderate predominance of red) and then black, instead of 4 and then black.
For this reason i assume that all our problem are based on a bad calibrate gamma but i'm a bit skeptical since some user don't have any problem.
all the thread i've found
There is some news, from samsung (after 14c oct) or supercurio? what do you think about a possible solution with upcoming JB release?

I sent mine back, got a new one from another vendor, the new one had the same issue. I actually have not noticed it for some time and watch alot of movies on my Note. I am using rocket rom v12.
Black clipping and blotches have marred Note since day one. Blotches can't be fixed as it's a "feature" of **every** Note's screen. My **fifth** Note also has blotches, but they are around the screen and not easily detectable. Black clipping can only be fixed in kernel: eg. Speedmod kernel has almost completely got rid of it.
Both issues have been discussed to death. If you need more info search Note and Galaxy Nexus forums.

Its a hardware issue. I have questioned many samsung service centers. It only happens when the brightness is low like in night mode. Otherwise its not appreciable.

if they were working on this issue, they should have CLEAR idea by now.

Its NOT hardware!.. It can easily be fixed if they really wanted to do it.. Try this app called Camera JB+. It comes with a Gallery. Try the gamma image test in that gallery.. Much better gamma setting or whatever..

That clipping is only in very low brightness or in night mode. Its not present at all at the brightness levels present by default. If u decrease the brightness further then only u can appreciate it.

the problem will be solved only if they will introduce the possibility of gamma tuning.

Note 3 screen quality at lower brightness

Does SuperAMOLED still have that problem where the screen gets worse the dimmer you set the brightness? It was really bad on my T-mobile S2 with visible lines, better but still gnarly on my S3, and my current Note 2 its okay but the colors look drained and whites dingy. Does the diamond pattern matrix improve any of this in the Note 3?
No!! Its getting worse..mine got yellow tint upper and pink hue below screen... i hav no idea why is samy using this diamond shape where the blue n red is bigger pixel than green..it just prove they are fail in this....

I do not have any problems in low light, No blotches, no streaks, no lines, no discoloration
I downloaded the screen test / color test apps too from the Play store, I didn't see any issues that I have had on previous Galaxy Devices.
Maybe It is because I bought it directly from the Samsung store?

Touchscreen problem

HI!
My n4's screen doesn't recognize touch on the bottom of the screen. Everywhere working fine but the last 1,5 cm so I cant't use the virtual buttons. I send it to Telenor to repair but after 3 weeks they don't do it, because the simtray is oxidized, so i lost the warranty...
Of course it hasn't got any water...
Do you have any idea what should i do?
Thanks,
Kodam
Its a common problem, flash PA pie and live with it.

I tried that but sometimes it randomly recognize touch on the bottom of the screen and not working until i switch the screen off-on.
Are there any mod which can decrease the "size" of the screen? With this the random touches can be avoided.

The Great Stuck Pixel Test - Have a go if you dare!

Here's your step by step guide..
1- Download a black image to your phone - see attachment
2- Set your brightness to max
3- load the black picture
4- view in a very dark place - Under a duvet in a dark room is best.
5- Start counting!
6- post and click in poll
After a week with my M8 I noticed a couple of stuck pixels last night as I went to take a shot in near darkness. The screen went to full auto brightness and I noticed two stuck pixels. I downloaded an app today to try and fix them but found another! Just tried this on my M7 and found 2, and 2 on my iPad.
The real purpose to this thread is to see how common this is. Maybe most of the phones are affected and therefore probably not worth the bother of having replaced.
How many have you got?!
One but hardly noticeable lol
---------- Post added at 09:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:00 PM ----------
I could have got it replaced but I got it online and really didn't want to wait three days for the new one lol
I have 4. I never noticed them until you started this thread, so I'm going to blame you lol! JK... they're hardly noticeable unless the screen is on full brightness with black backround. All other colors come through as they should.
No stuck pixels here on my 2 weeks old mate. Really happy about my phone.

Sometimes they come like that from the factory, sometimes they develop later on, but usually if it's free of defects from the beginning it will stay that way.
