Can you take a picture and show us. I don't have an Atrix but I have used a friends in the dark and I didn't see and Light Leaking.

i noticed the same thing last night but its not that big of a deal because i can only see it when i look in the corner

yeh if u look down the LCD......but that does not affect the device and it seems a design flaw then then a faulty handset....

i took some pictures to prove its nothing

not really unless you are holding the top near your eyes and looking down

Not that bad but if its on every device its ridiculous for a 680$ cellphone! !! And some are worst than other . . . My first one was like a 4mm crack and was really glowing light into display and it was noticable on black page and my other was like the picture but on both side . . . The one i got now you can see it only if you really want to. . . But it still there . I sugest you chek yours before getting stuck with a bad device

Line on display

I noticed today that on the display there's a really really thin green line on the left side of the screen, its hardly noticeable but on white it more noticeable. Is this how the AMOLED displays are or is there something wrong with my Vibrant? I think I had noticed this on a N1 before when I had that. Is anyone else seeing this as well? Thanks in advance.
mine has that too. didn't notice it til you pointed it out. Very, very thin line on the edge of the screen. probably normal.

i see it too. it's SUPER fine ALL the way to the left. so yea i would assume it's what throws the pixels across the display. i'm sure if we wikipedia AMOLED we'll get answers for the green..
Jesus I hate you for pointing this out, never noticed until now.

I see it too. It looks like the left edge of the screen isn't as cleanly truncated as the rest of the edges and we're seeing green spectrum pixels shining against the dark interior of the phone.
I seen No Green Line ,,, sorry kats ,,
I can really only see it when the screen is a light neutral color, other than that I never really noticed it.

Sorry guys for pointing it out. Someone else pointed it out to me too. Oh well, I guess its normal since I am not the only one seeing it. It's fine, like I said its not even noticeable at all but I am lovin' the Vibrant so far..

go a to completely white screen you'll see it, i didn't want to believe it either
Yep. It's hard to spot, but it's there. Not a deal-breaker, but definitely annoying to see.

Annoying? It is hardly noticeable.
I only noticed because it was pointed out and I had to go to a totally white screen to see it.
This is pretty much a non-issue. A moderator should close this thread. lol.

Light leak? A little..

Hi everyone so I've had my evo for about 2 weeks now I slightly see some light were some people have had real big issues should I be worried...i mean you really have to be looking for it..i didn't even know wheee thee light was coming through.also at the bottom of the screen if you tilt the phone I can see the light from the menu buttons is this normal?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I think its normal, mine does it. I watched unboxing and reviews of EVOs on YouTube and it was pointed on on them too. I have a rubber around mine so the light leak is covered. I can also see the light leds if I turn the phone and look down from the screen. Its an obvious design flaw, im surprised they let it go like that.
Normal.
I was about to go to sprint store for a exchange and also saw YouTube ones shown had same problems. I guess It's normal for HTC products...
Just hope dust going into it end up inside the lcd.
Doesn't bother me...
Yep I have some light leakage too on the bottom. It's normal...

3rd handset in 7 days

i received my s2 last week 2 days later 1 dead pixel in the corner so o2 sent me a replacement, and low and behold today theres a bright orange pixel smack bang in the middle of the screen, so now have to wait for another as o2 are oos, either im unlucky or the build quality is poor on the s2, maybe 3rd time lucky its a good job i luv it and ip5 isnt for sale yet
Please post a picture from the orange pixel.

your simply very unlucky. Maybe, ask them to check it before they send it to you?
Was you born on Friday the 13th buddy?
Sorry, but this is not a dead pixel. At this format of the picture a dead pixel wouldn't even be visible. Either this is a fake or you are running an app which displays this dot.
Start the test mode with *#0*# make a new picture.

Is that a similar dot next to the date .
jje
No way is that a pixel, it's way too big. Either a whole cluster of pixels is somehow stuck or it's a physical mark on the screen. Have you tried running one of those pixel un-sticker apps?
well please tell me what it is then xdadroid88 why would i fake it i really do have better things to do i assure you

I don't know. But now the dot is much smaller than before...
Edit: but it is still too big for a single pixel

Hmmm I think you messed up the two country flags, no problem it's the same colors .
For your problem: orange pixel means dead blue subpixel. So in LCD test try blue screen. But first pic is way to big to be 1 subpixel.
The orange dot in question looks like a blob in the first picture because the picture is out of focus..

Black ink marks

Hey guys I'm sue most if not all our you know about the black ink marks with the SGS III. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to take the phone back and get a new one but now I'm not sure because I hear that almost all the SGS III handsets have them. How many of you have taken yours back and was it worth it?

You can only see them when it's dark. At first I didn't think it would be a big deal but last night I opened my message app and I could clearly see them.
Edit: has to be a black background.

I have none at all. I used the texting app and andftp.
I didn't have any on mine, though waiting now on my new ordered phone.
Hmm well I'm going to be exchanging mine in a few days.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
I noticed a couple on mine, but they really are only noticeable in total darkness on a black background. If they get worse I'll consider getting it replaced, but its such a minor issue, it doesn't seem worth the hassle of a replacement.
The screen is amazing compared to my OG Epic.
They are "normal" for amoled screens. Ive had about 12 razr/razr maxx and everyone had it to a certain extent. They never got worse. As long as you dont have the black line running top to bottom you should be fine.

Try using this background turn off the lights and see if you can spot the splotches.

Here's how to test:
1) Download Display Tester, Go to Colors, then Dead Pixel.
2) Swipe the screen to the black color Page.
3) Go into a dark closet and look for anything weird on the screen.
I'm pretty sure that everyone who posted here will not have a perfect screen.
I have a couple but never notice them unless the screen is super dark...not too worried unless I notice them under normal conditions.
Here's an idea; if you have to test for something under extremely particular circumstances and don't notice it otherwise maybe you shouldn't go looking for a reason to make yourself unhappy.
Just a thought.
If you stand on a chair holding the phone at 37 degree angle while watching a specific Nickelback video and get a weird tint...don't do it?

I downloaded display tester and didn't see anything weird at all on my phone's screen. All the colors were smooth and even with no spotting.

Just Flash It !!!
I noticed a few splotches on day one, but just now after looking at the almost black test image I couldn't see anything at any angle or lighting conditions. Is it possible that this goes away over some time?

If you ever watch a dark movie, you will notice it. It can be irritating to say the least.

I wasn't looking for them. I didn't even know they existed. I actually noticed them one night when I was texting. It sucks that some have them and some don't... I would like to be one of the few that doesn't if you know what I mean
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
Yeah, I can definitely understand being irritated if you see it during normal use, it just seems like some people (big thread on this in the international section too) go looking for it. Personally unless if actually seen it during my normal usage I'd never go looking for some flaw that I'd then always know was there.
That was what I was getting at, just to clarify.

[Q] Is screen discolouration a fault?

Hello,
This is my first topic here, I have just bought a new S4, and the screen seems to have lines in it, when it is on a grey/dark screen, and is discolored on the bottom half.
Anyway, Please could you go into Settings > More > about device > software update. Now if you go in the dark, do you see discoloured patches on the bottom of the screen? (which are lighter than the rest). Please can you tell me which mode your screen is on, as then I can see if I can remove the problem by changing modes.
Also, It seems like when my screen is grey, there are lines all over the bottom half, that are slightly lighter than the rest of the screen.
Would you class this as a fault, as you can only see it in the dark, but I do use my phone in the dark a lot...
Do you think it is worth it to return it?
Also, if it is, do you think I should take it to the Samsung Service Center (I have full warranty, and Knox 0x0) or just return it to the seller
Thanks for any replies, I would be so greatful to anyone who helps
PS. it is not just in settings, it happens in any app that I use...
Well, first of all AMOLED technology isn't perfect and this is well known.
Most of users have a purple /pinkish tint on the bottom of the screen or top.
On mine aswell the bottom part of the screen is more pinkish or something like that, can be seem only on grey backgrounds bot i got used to it and doesn't bother me. Also i noticed when i keep brightness on very low level on white backgrounds like in play store i can see 1 or 2 slightly lighter horizontal lines.
To be honest doesn't bother me, all s4's i checked they all have some screen issues, because is AMOLED.
I have the same. That just something you have to live with.

Really? It doesn't seem very good that it should have lines across it tbh
I am quite disappointed - Does it also seem to have lines that look at bit like burn in, but can't be as the phone is brand new ,and i cant think of any time that i let burn in happen...

If they are visible even on high brightness then is a problem.
So if you can clearly see them on maximum brightness, then you can go and ask for a replacement

Bad news. Seems like these lines and discoluoration also happens on full brightness. Looks like I need a repair. I'll try and post some photos tomorrow...
Edit: I bought it on eBay. Should I open a case, or should I take it to a Samsung service Centre as there is one close to Me?
I have the same lines, mostly visible on gray backgrounds. I can really see it on the weatherbug load screen. The one my eye sees the most is about 25% up the screen from the bottom, but when I stare for a while I can see a lot more. From what I've read, this is normal.
I dont get a full equal black screen either.Its like light is trying to get through in the bottom half of screen.Its more noticeable on lower brightness.
Never noticed it before....

Im sorry for tell ya but i think u have LCD screen troubles, like HERE
Every S4 has grey bands across the screen. The worst is the one about 25% up from bottom.
It's just a flaw of AMOLED screen

But this was not the case for S3 screen when I had it. So it is the new panels that have this problem.

You're right, the S3 screen was fine.
The new panels in the S4 are crap ( in my opinion)
Only advantage is 1080p, which for a phone is pointless (again, my opinion)

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I have absolutely no strange lines or differences in colour on any given background.
I only got mine a week ago though.
I'm sure you will mate, or you just haven't noticed it yet
I've had 7 different S4s and EVERY SINGLE ONE had banding in greys.

You are right I also had another s4 and the same thing. Probably if you go to the store and try the phones there all of them will have this. At first look with high brightness on it is not obvious but after looking carefully you will notice it.
