Somewhat hard to describe, but fairly basic.
When I swipe over to another home page, the screen will tint darker for a second, and then tint lighter again immediately.
Has anyone else noticed this?
FWIW I'm rooted and running Eugene's vanilla 2.1 Vibrant9.
Yea I know what you're talking about... never paid too much attention to it though. All of my Android phones have done that (G1, MyTouch, Cliq, and now Vibrant) in wondering if it is an illussion.

Its definitely not an illusion.
I owned a Incredible, EVO and now this and I've never even noticed it until tonight.
I didn't even notice the first few days I had the phone.
So is this a general thing across Android that I never noticed, because its seriously bothering me now.
Using ADW launcher now? Coz I've noticed the widget goes a little blurry for a split second when I swipe the screen. I think it has something to do with the tweaks of the launcher.
It may be the "power save mode" readjusting the brightness levels for the change in screen content.

Yeah I turned off the power save feature and it still does it.

When I go to contacts, I noticed if I leave the page idle for just 2 seconds it has a green tine to it but once I swipe down it goes back to normal.
I never noticed it until I started using ADW on my Vibrant.

Are you guys talking about swiping the notification bar? This DOES adjust the brightness so long you have auto brightness turned off!
Nah not the notification bar, simply going either left or right on the home screen to another home screen.

Unless there's an issue with your touchscreen calibration, that shouldn't be happening.
Swiping across the notification bar adjusts the screen's brightness. I think you're accidentally swiping it by mistake and not realizing it.
I noticed this in the web browser when I first purchased the phone. It's very noticeable on a site like XDA with a light background. The screen's tint changes while holding down the screen and dragging it around. No idea why.
It's not a bug. It's built into TouchWIZ. Heres an example. Go into your contacts and just look at the tint. Now scroll down, the tint changes. The tint changes as you scroll because the little letters on the right side are activated.
I never noticed it doing that in the browser but I probably could liken it to the scroll bar on your CPU browser. Perhaps as you scroll, it changes because of that.
Like I said. In contacts, it's a feature. If you have it done in the browser- I don't. Maybe your phone has a bug.
It does it on every screen on the phone, not just contacts, not just browser.
Hopefully my g2 wont be doing this.

Control your brightness when you slide your fingers across the top of it from left to right?
Mine does and I'm not sure if it did the first few days or even if it is supposed to....
Thanks
It only does it if auto brightness is off.

I was just gonna post I found that out too.. Thanks now I know my device isnt defective...
Holy crap, that's awesome! Finding out new cool **** with this phone everyday!
Cool. Nice find with that one. I just use the power settings widget to switch between the set brightness levels (keeping it on the lowest setting).
This was a thread in the Galaxy S forum and I tested it to make sure it worked on mine a few hours ago
Great find, thanks.
I am getting use to touch wiz. I don't know why people don't like tw. It has some good feature s.

Wow, that's seriously awesome. Now I have no need for the automatic brightness, which always seems to keep the screen darker than I'd like.
This is pure awesomeness now that I know about this! I had just added the Power Control Widget so I could turn brightness up/down whenever I needed to. This is much, much easier and what I wanted since I can control everything else from the notifications already and faster.
My screen has randomly brightened or dimmed and I didn't know why. This explains a lot.

Same here. All of a sudden it would be to the lowest brightness level then it'd be the highest and I'd be so confused on why it kept changing.
@sl8125: People didn't like TouchWiz because the previous version of TouchWiz was awful.
This happened about once per hour, my screen will flash ,i means : a bright line appears at the left edge of my screen, brighter than anything i have ever seen normally on this screen, and disappear immediately. and not thing more is wrong.
I am using the CM9 Rom from locerra and it is a great rom, i don't know if this is caused by the rom, but i have not notice this when running stock HC.
I am just worrying if this will do any harm to the screen, or is there any way to get rid of it?
I have not find any pattern when will this show up, it has been shown when i am watching a movie on the MX player, and when i am using Chrome.
Has Anyone noticed this?

Try the app SyPressure.
In my p6810 with stock ICS the app triggers the white line to flash like mad.
Try and report if you be so kind.

So yeah does anyone else have this issue? My s4 colors tend to get warmer and like have a green tint when the keyboard is pulled up any keyboard for that matter in any app with adapt display on or off and auto brightness off or on. Like the status bar turns greenish too. It's so strange.

I want to see if someone else can test this. Open up or even reply and look at the status bar and tell me if the black becomes like a greenish tint as well as the whole screen. Then close the keyboard and watch it change back to normal.

I see it change a slight bit, but my face has to be pressed up against the glass when opening the keyboard to even notice. Is this really an issue?

I have exactly the same problem on Verizon S4. It really bothers my eyes as it seems to be changing the white balance / tint simply based on what's on the screen all the time. I have of course turned off all options that have anything to do with automatically adjusting the display.
I have the exact same problem with my GS4 international version. The problem gets even worst when playing a youtube video. The colour of the youtube video and the whole screen changes when the status bar is present and when it is not. The whole screen becomes reddish when the status bar is present and greenish when the status bar is not present. Any help on how to disable or fix this?

No but people seem to not realize it's even there. It's built into touchwiz. Only goes away in like cyanogenmod or something. But I'm sure it can be fixed if a dev wants to help so let's all keep this rolling. Anyone else notice it?

After I noticed it a few days ago, I think it is ok now, at least not as bad as the first time i saw it. Youtube video seems to be ok now with very very tiny bit of change in colours and contrast compared to yesterday with the same video. I think it might just be some bugs in the software. I did try restarting it many times yesterday and also disabling auto brightness, auto adjust screen tone and adapt display and that didn't help at all but now it's just kind of fixed itself
I just realised that this only happen when the brightness is set at a very low level. The effect is less noticeable when the brightness is high.
Yes so it's throttling the display to save battery and such
Does flashing cm10.1 fix the issue?

I'm currently on my second N3 (the first one had vertical lines in photos) and looks like this one has a bad display. When using Tapatalk with the dark theme, the bottom left corner/edge of the display is brighter than the rest. When testing with Screen Adjuster, the difference is very noticeable. The issue can be seen even with just Thumb Keyboard with WP7 theme.
Has anyone else noticed this kind of problem?

Check it with the stock messaging app, it should have a uniform brightness. Mine is glowing on the left edge and especially on the bottom left corner.

You may notice that the black screen when you open the settings. Not symmetric Colors.
There is a difference in the backlight. Increase in the left of the screen.
AMOLED has no backlight! the issue is due to the production process (basically: the more of the center of the wafer your particular screen has been cut out, the more uniform it will be)!

If you want to get rid of display brightness issues, just switch to Dynamic, as the 'blacks' in Settings would be even blacker, to the point where it doesn't really light up as it uses the OLED technique of showing true black.
Hi all! New to the LG G2...had it about 20 hours now. I'm 99.9% certain that up until a couple of hours ago, the notification bar at the top used to be almost completely transparent when on the home screen. I haven't changed anything that I know would have affected it, but now it's literally a much darker gray color. I can still see through it, but it has a black tint to it. I've googled pics and seen ones where the bar was as mine used to be when it was mostly transparent. Then I've seen some like mine is now with the darker MORE defined bar. Am I already getting a burn in on the display from Chrome (for example) changing the notification bar color to gray? Took my old G'nex 2 years to get screen burn-in...I would be disappointed if the G2 gets it after a day. I'd rather not have to install a mod to get a transparent bar...I LOVED it the way it was earlier today. I just have no idea what could have happened. Anyone else notice their notification bar become less transparent on it's own?
Probably changed the launcher theme. Different themes have different levels of transparency. Some have them totally see through, while others are mostly dark.
And this is not an Amoled screen like the GNex. You won't get burn ins. It's your eyes playing tricks.
Relax.

Because u changed the default wallpaper. Try choosing a wallpaper from the default ones.
Choosing a picture from your gallery to be ur wallpaper will diaable the transparent notif bar.

For some reason my G2 did this as well but later "fixed" itself. What I mean is I noticed that all of a sudden my own wallpapers did keep the transparent notification bar. But no idea why it suddenly worked. Doesn't work at all though with 3rd party launchers as others have said.
Mine does it occasionally then returns to transperent. I'm guessing some sort of bug
