Has anyone noticed that when scrolling through text in portrait mode (PDF's, web pages), the left side of the screen (bottom in landscape) lags behind the right side (top in landscape) enough to where it produces a wave effect? It's pretty darn noticeable.
I'm planning on sending my tablet out soon to be repaired for the screen hopefully, so I'll update this if it ever gets fixed.

Yes, it's normal.
Is there any reason why it does this?

I think it's just the graphics hardware trying to keep up with all the pixels it has to refresh.
IPad 3 and 4 have the same problem.

It's weird though because it only happens in portrait mode, not landscape.

The way the screen refreshes the side farthest from the camera always lags behind the side nearest the camera. The lag probably still exists in landscape, but in that case the delay would cause a slight compressing or stretching of the image. I'm guessing the delay is there, but just harder to notice.

Has anyone noticed faint horizontal white lines running across graphic images? I've noticed this most in widgets or picture thumbnails. Tried to take a screenshot but they don't seem to get captured. Very thin lines - like just a pixel or two in width. Sometimes changing screen and coming back makes them disappear. Often if I move the screen by swiping they disappear (even with a very small movement) but then reappear as soon as I let go. Don't think I've noticed on previous smartphones; wasn't sure if this was a byproduct of the 1080p resolution.
Running stock, unrooted.

In certain lighting, I see what looks like a dot matrix all over the screen, but from what I've heard, that's normal. Not sure what exactly that is though...
I can see it the clearest when the screen is off. I think it is part of the screen tech, not the resolution, but I could be wrong

I cant replicate your problem, sounds like you my friend may have bad screen. I would request a replacement at your closest vendor.
And the dot matrix on the screen is part of the screen, essentially it is part of the touch system that you love and cherish!

Unfortunately this "dot matrix" looks hideous and I've never seen it on any phone that I have on that I owned several flagship phones.

I'm sure you can if you hold them a certain way in the light, you will notice it. I know on my Bionic it is visible but can only be seen if held the right way in the light with the screen off.

Hmm... might check on that. Got the phone at Best Buy - not sure how good they are about replacements. Problem is, the issue is kind of fleeting. What I mean is these lines are not static. Even when I see them it looks like there is a touch of flashing going on, and the slightest screen swipe makes them go away. Sometimes they stay gone and sometimes they come right back. I wish I could do a screen capture - maybe I will have to just photo edit some lines to illustrate what I see

no but really, the inc was an awesome flagship ;D
and at the time i think HTC was one of the few phones that did the dots still..i remember the moto x didn't have them. i don't even know what the point of them is
I can see them on mine, but only in certain light and at certain angles and when off. I never see them when using it.
Finally got around to taking a picture of this with a separate camera. This is the weirdest issue! I can't capture it with a screenshot. It only happens on some images, and even those sometimes the lines disappear if I rotate the display. I tried doing a factory reset but that didn't help. Doesn't seem to be a hardware issue because I don't see it anywhere else except certain images (probably like 5 - 10% of them). Not app related - I've seen this happen in many apps that have images. This attachment was done in the Play Store app, on an app preview. Also seen it on Feedly, Android Central, Gallery, etc. Can't figure out what is going on!

It is the digitizer. It is what registers your touch

Did you ever find a solution to this?
I'm seeing the exact same lines after having a broken screen replaced.
me too, on my recently bought ebay G2 (VS980) - i think screen and digitizer are fine. i think it has something to do with the graphic card or rastering memory as it only happens when there is a high computational demand on display apparently? happened with two separate firmwares - one stock and one non-stock - so clearly it is not a software issue (i guess)
I'm pretty sure it's the screen. I had my screen replaced again and the issue is completely solved.
Saw a post on reddit showing how the camera takes tilted/uneven pics (not level). I checked and sure enough I have the same problem. Here's the pic from that thread that shows the problem. Pic was taken level but you can see it's not level in the pic.
The strange thing appears to be that the tilt is consistent regardless of orientation, so is there hope that this means it's a software problem or should I contact google about an RMA?

So yours doesn't do this? It's really not obvious unless you're showing something in the camera viewfinder that's level.
Is the captured pic as it appeared in the screen when taking it?

Yes, you can see it in the viewfinder. Other details:
- only affects back facing cam, front facing came is fine
- level apps show the device is level
- the right side is lower no matter what orientation I take the pic (power button right in portrait or left in portrait, power button up or down in landscape). ALL of them show the right side is lower
- other camera apps have the same problem
- went back to MDA89D, same problem
Still seems like a software problem to me or at least something that is independent of the orientation.
I'm not seeing that issue. Sounds like a problem with the tilt sensors. Try waving in figure of 8 a few times to calibrate.

I tried a few apps to calibrate it and it didn't help. If it were that, wouldn't it be mirrored if it were a calibration problem? E.g. if it droops to the right, rotating the phone 180 degrees should make it droop on the left. The droop is consistently on the right.

Not sure. Have you verified the level apps with the phone physically against something you know is level on all 3 axis

Not only was replacement not fine, a friend of mine ordered one and his came like this. I really can't understand why this is not more widely noticed? 3/3 seems like pretty high probability that it's affecting quite a few people.
is this not just barrel distortion from the wide angle lens?
you should print out a distortion test paper (basicly a checkered paper, nothing fancy):
http://www.imatest.com/docs/distortion/
Closer you are to the camera the worse it is. Also take photos in the full format (4:3) as the 16:9 is just cropped 4:3 and can cause more "obious" distortion, but without acctualy beeing worse you just notice it.

I RMA'd it so I can't try it. But holding my Nexus 6 up next to it, you could see something was off. I'll ask my friend at work to try that and report back, his takes tilted pictures too. So just have him pull that pic up on his monitor and take a pic?

This does not sound like a tilt sensor issue. It sounds like the camera was mounted crooked. If the phone is level but the image on the screen and in the pictures is tilted, it means that the camera itself is tilted. Huawei.

Yes that's what I think, too. I held my Nexus 6 and an old Galaxy S4 up in the same place and it was level. And it seems pretty prevalent (3/3 for me and my friend's is also affected, and I can see some photo samples online where it looks like they are affected).
I guess most people just aren't very observant or don't care?
Any body know of a way to enable 180 screen rotation? I'm finding sometimes my hand blocks the speakers when browsing and watching videos. Might be better holding phone upside down with these new fancy on screen disappearing buttons

I believe there might be an app in the Play Store which could help. I haven't tried it yet. Look for Rotation Control. The first one that comes up has 4.5 star rating. There's several though.

My s8 plus screen along with home, back and app buttons were all able to flip 180 degrees upside down esrlie r but i can no ponger find a way to replicate this....
It seems to me that on the images on the website (and I read this on one review ) that the screen is not centered on the device.
The gap on the right side of the screen inside the bezel seems to be larger than on the left.
Can anyone with a final production unit confirm what you have?

No. The touch interface is pretty slow and inconsistent compared to better phones. You will have to live with it.

One finger touches are fine and accurate it's when you use 2 thumbs when playing games. Sniper type games are the most noticeable, while using my left thumb to aim it doesn't register my right thumb tapping the shoot button unless I press really firmly also if I hold the shoot button the aiming get notch too but I only noticed it after the September update and not sure if it was there before that

Do you use screen guard for your mi a1? I don't know if your screen guard is the problem or something else though. If you use screen guard, try to remove it and see if it solved. Hope this works.
