I used to have on my old iPAQ a BT indicator next to the G/U sign on the top line. Now I only have a dark, barely seen indicator in phone screen (which is so dark it self I can't see the indicator). Any ideas for a more visible indicator on the today screen?
A silly little thing thats bugging me is that the picture from the middle of the backlight icon has disapeared,How can I regain this ,at the moment I have a blank square.

Hi All
Over the weekend when i tapped on the battery icon instead of a screen similar to the volume control screen showing the current Internet connection and the battery level it takes me to the battery and backlight screen.
I never made any changes to the phone so I am wondering where this screen has went and how to get it back.
I had a look for a screenshot showing what i used to have but I can't locate one - sorry the description isn't the best.
Any advice appreciated
Hello I've owned the s4 since June and today I noticed that when i watch videos in full screen i can see the status bar impressed on the screen! i can't see numbers but just the line of the status bar. I know that I can claim the warranty but if this is an issue with amoled screens who says it won't happen again? Anyway I'm using a very low brightness and a Google edition rom so that part of the screen is always black.
It will happen again on every amoled screen for sure. There is some excess of blue light from screen that diminish during usage. Top bar is black so this excess remains stronger in that area and it looks a little blueish. It's not burn in, more like under-burn
Snapdragon Galaxy S4
It is a common issue of AMOLED, my GS4 has the same issue just after 2 months.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Install apex launcher and use swipe down (or any other gesture) to hide notification bar
the possibility of screen burn is one of amoleds weaknesses. had the same problem with my old S2 :crying:
fortunately not yet with the S4.
first read about it here:

That's why Samsung has set the notifications bar to grey/transparent to prevent burn in.
Your Google edition rom has a completely black notifications panel.
Had it on my Note. They replaced the screen three times and it kept coming back.
Same with me s4 now.
So basically there's nothing I can do but send it back and see the problem come back again:angel:
Is there a way for google edition roms to have a transparent status bar?
Hey guys. Its been a while now i'm using this phone. I gotta admit i give a hard time on the phone's battery (charging cycle that is, i dnt let it fully charge and all). But I can't avoid that.
Anyways. I have this issue:
When a GRAY background is displayed on the phone, (like on a white webpage, when the keyboard is opened) i notice these VERTICAL BANDINGS/GRADIENTS on the screen
They appear on the left and the right sides (1 cm or so from the end of the display).
I also notice the horizontal banding/gradient half a centimeter below the status bar but its REALLLLYYY subtle.
My prediction?
Remember i said i give my battery a hard time? Well to be its the battery pushing the display from the back (probably swelled the poor guy lol) and giving this.
Why do i think this?
Well because
The banding lies EXACTLY where the left and right edges of the battery might probably be
IMPORTANT ASWELL: When i put a pressure on the display, the glass PUSHES the display (and creates those lovely watery ripples) ON THE SAME EDGES WHERE THE BANDING EXISTS.
Extra info: It might be a backlit problem, since its not present at any brightness level on any colour. Red blue green orange pink black purple, even gray(the banding is where the backlit dims)
So yeah thanks for reading it im sure u'll do something abt this.
I cant seem to take it in any camera these defect (i have no DSLR lulz). :3
Buy a new battery and change it before it explodes.
