So I just got my Vibrant yesterday and today I notice something wrong with my screen. On a white background I see a dark Streak. I just wondering do you guys see what I am see?

I do see it, pretty weird... have you tried to play with the brightness to see if it gets worse?
If it was me, i would call to get a replacement... you got it yesterday so you're in the 14 days period to do return it, they will send you a new one.

Thanks for response. I have tried playing with the brightness but it is still there. Anyway looks like I have no choice but replace this device.
Yeah, even if you could "fix it" in some way, i think replacement/return it's your best choice. Good luck!
There is an free app called "xlight" (IIRC) in the market. It will fill the screen with white, red, blue, green, or yellow light. My phone display appears very uniform when using it, you might want to try it (or something like it), just to confirm the problem.
Looks like a defect to me. My vibrants never had anything like that. My first nexus s had a screen problem. It had a ring shaped watermark when viewed with any solid background. Yours is a streak but looks like a similar effect on the screen. You should get it replaced if reseting, etc doesn't fix it.

Make sure your replacement can get into download mode and recovery using the hardware buttons. Try it in the store. If not, keep asking for a new one. (Samsung has acknowledged this as a defect so tmo has to replace it)
If you don't know how:
For recover while the phone is off, press and hold volume up, volume down, and power at the same time.
Let go of power as soon as you see the first Samsung screen. You should be at the recovery screen.
For download mode pull the battery and plug in the usb cable. Hold volume up and down and put the battery in. You should see q little android digging.
If I screwed those up someone please correct me.

Hi everyone,
I'm a former N1 owner and just bought a new NS i9020a from Negri Electronics and I'm finding a few funky things that I'd like to run by you guys. I'm suspecting that the phone might be defective, especially 1 and 2 below. Anyone else have these issues, or perhaps they are really non-issues?
1) My screen has pretty bad horizontal banding. It's most obvious in the notification pulldown, but is also noticeable with certain wallpapers, dead pixel test apps, etc. Please see screenshots below. Has anyone else had this, and do they fade away over time?
2) The galaxy live wallpaper has a layer of static "stars" or something above the actual spiraling galaxy. This layer kinda looks like stars, but some are splotchy/smeary. The galaxy itself also has a pink border/box around it too. I've factory reset twice and the same thing happens. Maybe my wallpaper is defective? See screenshots.
3) The screen in general has pretty yellow whites, especially in low brightness settings. I am not wowed as I thought I would have been with the SAMOLED screen.
4) When in the camera app, the picture doesnt actually take up the entire window. There are a few columns/rows of black pixels surrounding the picture. It's not centered either. See screenshot.
5) my volume rocker has a middle click, so there's up, middle, and down.
Banding:

i'm on an ns4g, and i have the exact same problems. its not big enough to bug me though. btw, the samoled is more known for their deep blacks than their whites.
I would get that exchanged asap but since you bought it from Negri you will hard time.
i have a i9023 and got exactly same black line in camera app, it just doesn't take up the entire windowi believe it's a "feature"
i think "middle" button in volume rocker is normal, cause every android device i owned it was present, sometimes when you press it, your system gets lagged for a while, like 5 secs, i believe it's something related to debug setting, also you can use it to disable power button in cw recovery (don't know why)
the rest of your problem i can't actually help, since my screen is not the same!
edit: when you change from photo to video in camera app, don't these lines/rows change at all?!
Camera looks normal, just like mine.
Banding looks bad though. Possibly defective display. If you have warranty, you should exchange.
I installed voodoo to work with cm9 and noticed that two things happened over time each day. the screen would start having lines scanning down from top to bottom like a refresh rate and the screen itself would get very very hot. I uninstalled voodoo and this issue went away. has anyone else experienced this? did I have the gamma hack values to high where i was doing more harm than good?
Your rgb values were to high. Could also be the high gamma values as well lower Gama is better.

YRMV but my screen only works well set a little higher than the "alternate" settings. Some screens work a little different than others. I had to play with the Voodoo setting and explore different brightness settings before I found a good balance.

Am I glad you started this thread! Over the weekend I went on a water ride and my phone got wet. Immediately after I experienced the very same thing with the scanning lines. I assumed it was due to water damage. Strangest thing though, it would only happen when I used the browser and or the email. All other screens were fine. I was just getting ready to pay up under the TEP and get my phone replaced. Removing Voodoo Color solved my problem! Thanks!

Hey guys,
When I turned on my Nexus 7 the other day, I noticed what looked like a white fingerprint against the screen, like someone had pressed against it too hard (no one had, it was sitting perfectly safe), and I had never seen this kind of problem before, so I thought I'd come here. I have two pictures of it. They aren't the best, but you can see the problem in them. Any ideas on what it is, and how to fix it?

That looks like a fissure or an unprecisely-shaped grid of dead pixels. Do you get that upon boot?

It had been dead for some time, but once I recharged and booted it up, I noticed it. It hadn't been there before, and I haven't tried resetting the tablet.

That would appear to be an issue with the hardware then, unfortunately. I don't think a reset will do anything if you noticed it as soon as you booted since it appears before the OS even started. Has the size or shape changed at all since you first noticed it? Does *gently* bending the tablet in any direction affect its appearance?
Hi there,
My phones touch screen broken last month, I ordered a new digitizer with frame from China, I replaced broken screen carefully, then I turned on my phone, but I saw white lines on the screen.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then I saw this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52414185&postcount=122 I thought it may be a kernel- digitizer incompatiblity.. I rooted my phone first time in my life, then flashed that kernel in the post, then phone is completely bricked.. now I see a black empty screen, it says "fast_boot started" etc. I googled and I saw some posts however nothing solved my problem.
I believe my phone is not bricked since it gives a response of black fastboot screen.. Can you please help me? I am a total Android noob, please don't just say "go to the download mode" tell me how to go to the download mode as well you can share links as long as they works..
I hope I can make my phone work again.
Finally, if I managed turn on my phone, can I really make the white lines disappear with software tweaks or my new touchscreen hardware is broken?
Thanks in advanced,
Eray
anyone?
I don't personally flash non stock roms, but if you read on the post with those type of roms a lot of them talk about a "JDI kernel" for the white line issue... Once again I have not personally seen it so I am not sure if that is what you have pictured, but it is worth a shot... Go to the forum where you got the rom you are on and look for a JDI kernel..
Reading your post it sounds like you had never installed a ROM until the screen issue arose with your new screen, if that's the case then redoing a ROM won't work for you as far as fixing the lines. Most people have found that issue to be permanent anyway and there is some debate on whether or not it is a flaw with the screen itself. Check my profile, I have a thread I did when I replaced my screen. It covered where I got it from and had a link for a great how two on youtube. If you get the date one it'll be a lot and not job. Your phone isn't bricked BTW. This forum has a wealth of knowledge on how to go about anyhing you wish to do. Whether it is to fix an issue or tweak to your hearts content. The search tool is your friend. Feel free to scroll my posts via my profile too. A while back I helped someone and covered a lot of different steps. If that doesn't get you any where let me know and I will see what I can dig up

I had the same problem last night. The solution is:
do you see that little tongue at the bottom of the screen full with resistant?
That little thing is sort cutted by the white antenna connetor when you put it together.
I've dropped the phone quite a few times but the screen looks perfect. But the past few days I noticed to drag the notification drawer down I have to push on the screen hard while I drag or it will slide back up. It acts up other times too. For instance, in snapchat while holding down to view a snap if I slide my finger out of the way it deselects. Could I have caused damage that's not visible? It also has a TPU case.
Update: I notice the problem only happens vertically and I have no problem swiping side to side. And I also realized its not how hard I press, its more how slowly I swipe. to pull the notification drawer down I have to either pull it really slow or flick it down
I've noticed this same exact behavior on my Verizon G2. I found that my Knock On stopped working as well. Trying to figure out the cause, I tested the Screen with the Paint option in YAMTT.
I found there was a decent portion of the screen that was unresponsive to touch all the way from left to right in a band, almost directly over the physical buttons on the back.
I've called Verizon and they are sending me another one over night.

Had same problem and sent to LG. They replaced with reconditioned phone. Common problem.
If I take it to best buy where I got it will they fix it?
Mine isn't working in about the same spot as yours and knock on works only occasionally

No, they will not. This needs to go back to the manufacturer for warranty.
