lighter spot on gray background on the screen ??

i just noticed 2 spots one on the right and the other on the left
they appear as lighter than surrounding area in a gray background only in low brightness
they are ill defined .... not a ring
i ll post a pic later on
any help about this ??

I believe this is a limitation on the SAMOLED+ ( was not there on the original SAMOLED ) some phones dont have this un-uniformity of rendering greys but probably a good majority have.

i searched before posting but didn't found any similar thread
so whats the problem ..... is it normal
it is not obvious but it is annoying to have it in a new device only
in normal use i don't see it but the only screen that i can see it when looking for battery usage as it gives the screen a plain gray color

You have 3 choices:
1. Do nothing - no problem under normal use, so why whine?
2. Return the phone.
3. Find one of the 306507 threads involving screen defects and filled with the rantings of some of the most disturbed people you could ever wish to meet. Won't "cure" your phone, but it may be of some succour.
I recommend #3 for you.

LOL nice.

I fail to see any screen artifacts, all I see is jaggies and that's not screen artifacts. That's just a lack of anti-aliasing.

Look at the leafs. they have some kind of black background around them.
and yes, happens on mine too.

Did you reboot phone? Uninstall and reinstall game?
If its still bad then email developer. Game looks quite cool, might buy it if they fix the issue. Post them the link to this thread in the email!

Yep i did that several times but nothing helps.
Game uninstalled!

It looks like the leaf images are supposed to have one color mapped to transparent. What image format is being used? GIF?

vertical lines on the screen - galaxy s4 i9505 ?

Seriously tho no its does not look normal ive seen simular issue on lcd screen with abnormal pressure points. Also when screen refresh is out of sync and strobes lines if I would suggest returning to supplier.

i would say it's normal because that's just how the screen of S4 is. on my S4 also banding is visible especially on gray color. you might try to change phone for another one but think hard before doing it because you might get phone with screen that looks even worse.

Its not normal... I have this problem before with my previous galaxy and samsung replaced it for a new one..

I have that problem too, but didn't notice until about 3 months after purchase. Samsung doesn't replace with a new one, but a refurbished one, and who knows what problems a refurbished one will eventually happen. Anyone ever figure out if this was normal or not? Seems to be a lot of people with this issue if you do a simple Google search. It doesn't really bother me unless I'm on a gray screen.

I had the same problem on my Galaxy S5 too (horizontal lines)
goodbye Super AMOLED Display !!! :victory:
goodbye samsung !!! :victory:
I bought a LG G3 today http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3 :good:

[Q] Display problem

Hey guys,
I'm having a problem with the display on my G2. I spotted a grey spot on my display. It's not very big and can only be seen if your in a dark room and the display is black. Sounds really like a minor issue, but now that I know it's there, it just bugs me.
Any of you guys have an idea what this is, or having the same problem? (Just test it out)
I'm not sure if this is reason enough to get it replaced

You can't see it very well, because I just don't have a better way of taking a picture from it than my Nexus 7

I won't look on mine... because if it's something common I will have it for sure.. and I know myself it will bug me till the end ...
Anyway looks like glue residue or something in that matter, in case you do not have a screen protector.
If you can prove it to the store, get it replaced... This is a flagship device. Prestige one... Even minor appearance problems shouldn't be there.
Personally if I had it there and as you say, you can see it, get it replaced, and you never know if this i snot a beginning of something bigger? What if your screen falls off? (bit paranoid, but you know what to say in the store if they gonna give you hardtime )

Get it replaced! A $500 phone should not have that.

yeah, get it replaced if you want to. But i have a dead pixel on my G2, it bugged me for about a week, but ive forgotten its even there now haha

[Q] N4 rear flash ring?

Hi there!
i recently bought an N4 and i love it but i was wondering why my rear flash is like the way it is (see pictures). I bought it completely new, or supposedly new, on ebay for around $200... i actually couldnt believe the price haha
any comments as to how to replace it? due to the flash lens/ring it allowed dust in the rear camera which is so annoying.
thanks!

I dont know, but my flash looks completely different. You sure that is a nexus 4 and not some fake stuff?

haha yeah it works perfectly fine though
another thing i noticed was this... i dont know if it's normal either
there's vertical lines when the screen is off and noticeable when caught in the light at certain angles........
i'm starting to think this was a broken phone but refurbished after

the rear flash ring is normal but the bars on the screen is a new one, i have never seen that, its usually a clear screen and you can see the dots from the digitizer from different angles.
maybe the screen has been replaced?

Wow, I've never seen such vertical lines on my n4 before. That is really strange, mate.
Although there are horizontal lines/patterns on the screen. They are conduction medium for the touch screen, but no..never seen such vertical ones...
