Screen "banding" and 'burn-in" - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I'm currently talking with Google and waiting on an email back to see their response...On any grey or dark surface, I have a white banding on either side of the screen that runs the height of it. I also experience some burn in with my calendar widget (due to the white boxes on it). You can see them in the one photo. It almost looks as they've burned in through the settings menu.
Has anyone else experienced the same issue?
I thought it might be normal at first but I compared it to my wife's N4 and her display is flawless!

Not normal. It is defective. Google should take care of it no problem and send a replacement.

I get it with the tapatalk app avatar boxes and the keyboard if I leave the screen on for a while. But it always clears its self up before I notice it to much more.
I've had my Nexus since February and its done it since day 1.

Help! - Washed Colours

Hi,
Today, I have no idea what happened but my display has gone funny. All the colours have faded and look washed, I tried tinkering with Automatic brightness but that hasn't helped.
The blacks have gone grey. Here are some screenshots to show what I am talking about.

The contrast ratio seems to have messed up. Please if someone could be kind and help me fix it, I'd much appreciate it.
Thank you!
This happened to me too when I applied a screen protector. Some of the liquids probably got into the phone. My screen even disappeared for a day. After the water evaporated it went back to normal.

I see nothing on those screenshots. It could be your hardware in that case.
It happened to me for a couple of days before while i was trying some custom roms, not sure why but it just went back to normal after all.

It sorted itself out. Back to Normal again

Should I sent my Note back to the service center?

I think my screen has a serious problem.
When I made it to display 50% gray, there are these weird uneven lines.
Do you think I will get a screen replacement?
It has been driving me nuts.
Can you take a picture of it with a camera, so we see what you mean?

As you can see, the two long ovals, there is this weird lines. It actually looks worse in real life cause I don't have another good camera as a source.
Then the right side, the colour of the grey is different. A little yellowish patch compared to the left side.
And I used LCD Test.
Seems its a defective amoled panel, so if you don't feel good about it sent to warranty.
Anyway if this just happen in a solid gray picture then is not a big deal.

Black lines across screen

So my N10 replacement arrived due to my first N10 (haven't returned it yet) having some minor light leakage. Right after the first boot on the new N10, there's a single pernament blackline across the screen. Checked if there was light leakage, and found it to be much worst than my first N10.
Anyways, I decided to take a photo of the black line with my DSLR. After a few shots, and then looking back at the screen, there were now 2 black lines. I decided to take a few more shots, and while I was looking at the screen, a 3rd line popped up before my eyes.
Lines are predominately black, but sometimes, depending on the background, the lines will have some brighter colors.

Gona send the replacement back. Just to be on the safe side, keeping the first N10 since its working perfectly fine and the light leakage is easily tolerable. What do you guys think caused this to happen?
Strange! Maybe it was damaged during shipping.

Google may track via serial number the devices they send, so you may want to let them know first in case they realize you sent the replacement back.

[Q] Fix for Terrible Light bleed

Have terrible light bleed on my Nexus 7 that is approx 2 months old, been getting worse and worse, just filed for a RMA but Asus says they do not cross ship for tablets so I would be without it for 3-4 weeks.
Is there any fix I could try? Is this a similar issue to the screen lift problem everyone seems to be having? If I warp the tablet in my hand I can get the bleeding to be more or less or different places which leads me to think the screen isnt on straight.
Here is screenshot off it on a pure black background

I've gotten some lightbleed on my Nexus 7 (minor, not noticeable unless brightness is turned up) and the "ripple" when I press on the screen. I do assume this has something to do with how the screen is mounted, but I'm not sure how to fix it.
Ouch. Does it creak a lot to?

The only real way to fix this is with a screen/digitizer assembly replacement.

Banding problem in progress meters and games

In 3d games and parts of the gui there are random dots like banding is this a screen malfunction? It can't be software right? How unreliable. What do I do? Return it? Ugh I just got it. Wtf is wrong with Motorola qa in its factories?? This is unacceptable. Will they send me a replacement before I have to return the defective unit? Is there a quick fix? What are my options?

It's mainly whenever it's showing green. But it has to be software issue not the screen hardware or else screenshot wouldnt have captured this issue. Those bright dots run around whenever there is motion. Even in the Android gui

Does anyone know if a factory reset might fix this issue. It's not going away. Established that it isn't a hardware problem as I sent the screenshot from another phone and looking at it.
