I've noticed some faint diagonal stripes on my LG G2 (LG-D802). They make a pixel like pattern of stripes, only they are diagonal from upper left to lower right and mostly visible on solid clear colors like red, green or blue. The stripes are very thin and the width of the stripes is comparable/or slightly smaller then the pixel width of my old Samsung Galaxy S2 (>200PPI). In other words, it's not something I see all of the time but it gets noticeable when you look closely. And as I said it is mostly visible on solid colors, and not on text and other edges where pixels normally is visible (not that I think this is the actual pixels I see). One of the easiest ways to see it is to search after "red" on google images and open a red image, but it is also visible in most apps or on the homescreen.
Is this something anyone else has experienced/noticed, or is it it my display that is faulty?
I'm not allowed to post an outside link in my message (new user), but here is a picture if anybody want's to see.
It was not easy to capture this on camera, but the stripes are barely visible in the red of the Google+ icon and in the dark blue of the image icon. For size comparison; I use Nova Launcher with icon size 70% and the Minimal UI icon pack.

Could it be a problem with your screen protector? If not i recommend sending it in for a check..
Thanks for the reply.
I don't have any screen protector on, but the lines does seem to be fixed to the screen. I.e. if I move an object the lines does not stick to the object but "new" lines gets visible, so it can look like it can be something with the glass.
If nobody else has experienced the lines I will definitively send the phone in for service.
I tried the local phone store, but the guy only laughed at me because he did'nt see it. Great service attitude when you make the customers feel stupid
Maybe you are talking about the touch sensors?
All the phones have it and it's more visible on xperia phones.
Maybe, but I think the lines/pattern is to small and dense to be the normal grid that people see. When I turn the screen off I can (barely) see the the digitzer grid, but it is a completely different pattern (horizontal and vertical lines) and the lines are separated by several line widths (some millimeters maybe?). The diagonal lines I see are very close together. It looks like they are only a line width apart from each other.
One other thing I just noticed is that the lines does not rotate when the screen is in landscape mode. They still go from the front-camera corner down to the corner to the right of the LG logo.
Is it nobody with a good sight that can confirm if they see the stripes or not? Would have helped me a lot when proceeding with getting the phone in for service.

Has anyone ever noticed horizontal lines on the Tasks screen when applying different themes? I just started downloading different themes for my 8125 and I noticed that the Task screen and the Mobile Word screen (the screen to select the document, but not to compose the document) are having horizontal lines of blue getting lighter as they cross to the left side of the screen. It reminds me of a shirt I had twenty years ago. It is a little distracting and I don't see them when I select the Cingular or Windows theme. How can I get rid of these lines. Sorry I can't include an image, but I don't know how to do that.
Thanks for the help.
If I look carefully my display I can notice that display image is not properly centered, infact it has two different black vertical bounds.
I would like to expand image to cover all the display area (like a regulation for lcd displays for example...).
Is it possible??

Hi. That's a bit vague - difficult to understand. Can you take a screenshot so we can see what you mean?
Yes I know it is a bit vague, but unfortunately I can't take any screenshot of this, bacause it would show nothing about this problem... I'll had to use an external camera, but at moment the only one I have is the leo's one...
Let me see if I can explain in little words... what I see is that the potential area of display is for example 480x800, but the real display (image on display) is smaller leaving black bounds all around it; it seems projected to a smaller surface, resulting in a smaller display experience (not so much to be honest ).
Given that in all pc monitors you can adjust image position and size to best fit its window, I was asking if it could be possible also on this leo device.
Hope you can better understand now...
If, for example, I open Internet Explorer and wait till the address bar and bottom buttons disappear, I'm left with a mostly white display. There IS a border of about 1mm all the way round this.
Is this what you are talking about?
Yes, it should be! In my case the stripe on the left side is a bit thinner than the one on the right...

That's not an active display area. The display shouldn't go to the very edge, so there's nothing wrong with your phone, and no, you can't expand the display.
Ok, thanks a lot!
I'm not sure whether this is a problem with Android (doubt it), HTC Sense in general or the HTC Photos app..
But what I'm finding is that pictures with gradients (usually ones computer generated) have their gradients shown very bady and makes the picture look terrible. Instead of doing a smooth colour transition, it sort of does it in chunks..
htt p://img441.imageshack. us/img441/7022/img2485n.jpg
As you can see here, isntead of fading smoothly from the red to black, it does those ugly layers. I first noticed it when I had this picture set as the lock screen picture because it does it there too. In bright light its almost impossible to tell, but in the dark it tooks terrible.
Sometimes when I look at the full picture in the Photo app it doesn't do the gradient so badly, but when I go to pinch zoom the slightest it instantly changes to look like that. (isnt just a problem with the one picture btw). I thought it might be something to do with the large picture being resized to fit the screen, but I resized the picture on a computer to be smaller than the screens dimensions and it does the same thing.
Another slight issue I picked up is that black areas in a wallpaper picture don't show as 'true black'. When I view the picture with the black background fullscreen in Photos, the black areas are true black (tested at night - true black of AMOLED screen). But when the picture is set as background, there is a noticeable difference between the blackness of the background and the 'true blackness' of the bottom of the notification bar...
Might be hard to see, but to show what I mean:

Does anyone have any explanation for these problems, and even better, fixes?
I've got HTC Legend unrooted
Cheers
Just curious, when you switch to the light theme.
Do any of you have a really thin green line on the left hand side?
It only shows when displaying white on my handset. Curious if this is just SAMOLED, or my phone?
If you're talking about the very far left of the screen, I seem to have a faint green line there too when the white theme is enabled.
I seem to have an issue with my screen if I change to a dark background and then enter the accent colour selector the background there is a grey screen. Whenever my phone is showing a grey screen I see a dark ring on the right hand side towards the top of the screen. It looks like my screen has ringworm. It only happens on grey screens though.
I've got the green line if i put on the white theme.. quite noticeable actually!
lucky i use the dark theme
but the green line is there whenever that portion of the screen is white.
Not sure about the grey screens (don't have grey)

The background of the "accent colour" menu is grey, there isn't actually a grey option.

It's a "feature" of SAMOLED screens, due to the subpixel counts the left border has a green line and the right border has a faint blue one, or at least it does on the Galaxy S.
Greetings all,
I have a S7, and when I have a open white area, lets just go with messages, When I open up the message (text, stock) and compose a new message, I get the white screen however in the background I can see the home screen icon's very faint, with colors. I did a screen shot and when on the phone you can see the icon's, however when I move the screen shot to the PC I dont see any of the icon's, I was hoping to post the pic, but the pic is perfect. I dont know how to explain this, but it weird. I have done two factory wipe's, this is stock, I have not modified this phone. The carrier, (If needed) is T-Mobile. Any and all information will be greatly appreciated.
Ciao~

If you take a screenshot and it does not display the same as what you are seeing it means it is NOT software related unfortunately this is screen burn
thats what I figured, but its very bad, I have never had any of Samsung Phones every do this. If the display is burned, why would the icon's have color? I see only the background icons, when the screen is white. If it was burned should I see it on all the screens?

The screen burn burns in the colors a possible way to test this is change your background icons from what they were previously and see if the colours have changed on the screen where you can see the burn in..
Alternatively Get a screen test app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ua.dp.ustav.screentest should let you put solid colors on the screen) and set it for all white (there shouldn't be any other color showing) then for all black (there shouldn't be anything but black or a uniform very dark gray). If either one shows any sort of picture "ghost", the screen has burn-in.
Apparently it helps slightly if you set the screen mode to cinema. (Settings>Display>Screen Mode>Cinema)
Hope this helps
