I just got my transformer and it looks like honeycomb does not fill the the entire screen on the right side by less than a mm. It might be normal because its not really that glaring,just wondering if anyone knows about it. Sorry about the image, i had to use flash to get a decent image.
Looks normal to me, but mine isn't that noticeable yours is. Maybe it's because of the flash.
Sorry, but really can`t tell anything from your picture. I never really noticed it before & you may be right. I didn't really notice this before but I do see what you are talking about. Looking at the lower right hand corner it is almost like the screen should have been pushed to the right about 1mm. I don't believe this is software issue. As it is an issue where the screen does't go all the way to the black boarder on the right.
thanks
Yea thanks for the replies i was just wondering about it, i wasn't really trying to make it sound like im nagging about an issue. Thanks though.
That's fairly typical for monitors. Though not as wide as the TF's is.
I'm surprised I never noticed that.. it's actually kind of annoying.
Forget that, if you look at it from just the right angle, some of the molecules are clearly not in the right order!!! ;-)
Seriously, guys. At most it's a microscopic alignment issue, and even then only if a corresponding portion is cut off at the other end of the screen. Either way, it's not even slightly something to worry about.

Has anyone come across their X1 having a screen that is fading in the top right-hand corner? it looks as if it's been pressed really hard there on mine.
I've had so many X1s now and I'm really fed-up of it, Sony Ericsson, Windows Mobile (to add to all Windows OSs really) and my operator, O2, for being the World's biggest morons. The one I got today seemed perfect for once and actually put together properly and, apart from a tiny, hardly noticeable scratch on the back cover (for which I have another cover as a spare anyway) I was pretty happy with it. The screen is really bugging me though and this is the second or third one where the screen is quite a bit worse than others have been.
I'm unsure of what to do, there's no other phones that I have any interest in and I'm sick to the teeth of O2 and this fault riddled phone too. I've only just gotten used to the fact that the illumination lights don't work properly on any X1s!
I beleive you are referring to the white light bleeding thru in the corners? This is something simular to what happens on some monitors. I don't think it gets worse and it can only be noticed when a black background in showing in the corners when you look at a picture or play a movie.
I know EXACTLY what you're talking about. It is the most visible when you're turning it on during the "EXPERIA" screen, huh? I have that, too.

This is exactly it! Sorry, couldn't remember to call it bleeding lol.
I'm almost certain I'll return this X1...shame because it's the first without any other issues.
omfg i totally forgot abt this when i sent it to the svc ctr 2 days ago!
i only complained abt the buttons getting less responsive. lol. had this screen issue since day 2 but nvr been a big prob.
damn...
Called "light leakage" elsewhere
Personally its only noticeable at all with a completely black screen (like the Xperia load screen mentioned above) ...and completely invisible the rest of the time.
So I barely notice it and it doesn't bother me
Check out this thread...

I'm still on my first X1i by the way -4 months in and no probs at all
Guys,
If you have no build issues like cracks, I strongly suggest you keep it. AFter a week or two of use, you'll stop noticing the light bleeding less and less. I believe I read it somewhere that you have the NGOCD or something? New Gadget Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
Cheers.

Definately...I just like a new device to be perfect as it should be.
I can still notice the bleeding a bit during normal use and it's really irritating. I don't get why it's just in the right-hand corner and worse on some X1s than it is on others.
Did anyone else notice how the screen can be kinda grainy? its only really noticable if your kinda close to the screen and most noticible on text in a web page or something thin. Is it normal for OLEDs or is something wrong with my phone
I can at least confirm that compared to the G1, the Nex1 screen is insanely oversaturated and the contrast is really high. You might also be noticing that in many applications lazily designed for smaller screen dimensions, raster graphics are being scaled up, which causes nasty artifacting (text and pure vector apps should be okay, though).
And now that you mention it, if I hold the phone *really* close to my face, the dot patterns are a little more visible than on a non-OLED.
][
i know for a fact the oversaturation is normal. OLED displays show much more saturated colors than LCDs because of their design. Im talking specifically about the grainyness meaning how edges look kind of dotty its hard to explain with words lol. Its usually not noticible unless you hold it up close to your face or youre specifically looking for it.

Those are called pixels.. put your nose to any LCD screen and you'll see the same..
It's because some things just weren't built for the higher res screen the N1 sports compared to other Android devices, that and the screen has a significantly sharper image than any other phone I've looked at.
Yeah, you can tell some apps and widgets werent designed for hi-res, this phone is blowin me away so far though, I love my G1 and mytouch but they got nothin on this beast

You're seeing it more because of the nature of the OLED screen methinks, everything is much more pronounced, which is why it creates such a nice picture.
im asking if YOU are noticing it lol
Yea, if I look really really really really close I can sort of see it, nothing to worry about though
like how close? youre making it sound like youre using an electron microscope or something. I can begin to notice it about half a foot away!
sorry if i sound nit-picky I payed 530$ and want to make sure my phone is perfect (especially since im probably gonna void my warranty and unlock the bootloader)
If my nose is almost touching it I can see the pixels somewhat, depends what application I'm looking at though.
i can just imagine all of you guys just stilling there putting this nexus one up to your noses and having someone walk in and yell "WTF are you doing?!"
... blueman did you notice this as well or no
unfortunately my nexus one is still somewhere in between Moutain View and Vegas.
Melt, I can see what you're talking about but I don't really notice it unless I'm looking for it or like someone else said I hold it right next to my face, but I can't tell what you're freakin out about cause as a whole my display looks damn amazing.
why are people so paranoid about things?
cause these things cost 530$ + tax.
the grainyness you're seeing is probably upscaled images from 3rd party applications. Since the Droid and Nexus one both have super high res screens, some applications graphics wont fit properly, and the phone will resize them without re-rendering it.
Kinda like trying to print a 1 megapixel image on a billboard, it will turn into giant pixels.
The stock android apps should look fine though. So far I've been very pleased with the display and how things look.
hope this helps. I work a lot with graphics.

Now you got me curious. I can notice the pixel grain (especially on gradient backgrounds) at about 5" or closer. I am slightly nearsighted, though.

im seeing the faint grainyness effect everywhere even home screen
I just noticed this strange ripple near the top left corner of my screen. It doesn't seem to be noticeable when the screen is on, just when it's off and in direct light.
I'm wondering what it could be? Is there some sort of film that goes over the LCD? Could this potentially become a problem later on?
Thanks in advance!
any way for you to take a picture of it?
I have one big wavy line on my display running horizontally and then a few others that are barely noticeable. One of my friends got his MT4G the same day as me, and he has zero wavy lines on his phone. I asked about doing an exchange with T-Mobile, and they said I would have to contact the insurance company to receive a new one (dial 611 or something). WTF? I just bought the damn thing, and they state they don't do exchanges there.

I just tried taking one of mine in macro and non-macro modes, and it just doesn't want to show up in the photo. You can't see it when the display is on (you can see it on the black sides of the display though), but it's very noticeable when the display is off.
I can't seem to get a clear picture of mine either.
It's not really bothering me all that much since I can't see it when the display is on. I just want to be sure that it won't get worse over time to the point that it does bother me.
i read somewhere it has something to do with lowering the amount of glare you get.... i dont have a link but it was the same question your asking.

I see. It does appear to be a film layer over the actual LCD.
What do you guys think the chances are that the waves/ripples will get worse over time?
Today is suddenly noticed this problem with my screen.
It reacts normal to touch.
Was it high pressure or fluids?
Hi,
There is nothing to worry about.
This is a known glitch.
Best thing to do ,is reboot your phone and it will clear.
its difficult to tell from the pics but i have very similar marks only much smaller, mine wont go away, i believe its a defect in the TFT panel and the backlight is getting through too much, if its the same issue as mine on a dark screen its harder to tell, but white shows up a lot. that kinda of supports my thoughts on it as a darker screen forces the pixcels to "block" more light coming through from the back light,
I thought it was like a negative appearance,where everything goes like a negative picture.
You're right ,it does look a bit vague on second looks.
If it clears after a reboot,then it was what I thought.
If it doesn't clear,then I'm not sure what it is.
A reboot doesn't effect the screen, to bad. Is my tft leak or something like that?
If i putt pressure on the screen i can move the white spot in the middle a little.
Thanx for the reactions.

i think its the same as mine, when you rub the screen on mine it can look like its moving but its not, its like when you push your finger on your arm it goes white then goes back to being normal, or in this case mine goes back to being wrong
im hunting for a bricked HD2 to replace the whole panel, unless your under warrenty i suspect you'll need to do the same
ive attached a pic to show you mine, its really hard to tell but see if it looks like yours the white spotes are down the bottom
Some kind lcd bleeding mate
If your phone still.have warranty, send it back
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA Premium App
Your's looks like back lite bleeding.
I think mine is damp insite.
it's geting less.
Hi guys.
Just recieved my brand new Nexus 4. Haven't rooted anything yet but I can notice some strange vertical "lines" of no colour. You can just say they are present and they give some weird discoloration, seen especially in the Settings menu,
Also noticed that my Antutu 3.0 closed itself (dunno why... it's 2GB of RAM...) only once and after one of several Antutu benchmarks there were some red lines... rectangles or some other stuff moving across the screen while in multitasking menu.
Now I'm a bit worried aboy the lines especially. Does it mean that I've just got a faulty device
Please check your Nexus 4's: just set the brightness to maximum and go to the Settings menu. If you see such not moving vertical lines (they are slight but still enough noticeable to see!) please report.
I live in Poland and I really would not want to RMA it since I would have to send it back to US...
EDIT: To add, the lines are especially seen on grey background, if it matters. But I can barely see them on my main screen too... I've also thought about the protective foil which is still present on both the front and back of my Nexus, but I don't think it may be causing it...
That's almost a description of the digitizer grid. Normally if it's at all visible it would require direct sunlight at specific angles. It would appear as metallic dots in vertical lines that reflect the sunlight. Perhaps the digitizer got bonded to the glass incorrectly? Give it a few days and see, it's well known that some bonding issues stabilize after a short while. If it's still very noticeable and bothers you, RMA the phone.

I'm almost sure it's not digitizer. I've seen it a few times on my dad's Xperia Neo V, and it just looks totally different. Also, I really can't see any dots. The thing that bothers me is the lines seem to be standing in their place all the time... I haven't seen this yet on any phone,
But, as you said, I'm giving it a few days. Also, I'll compare the screens when my 2nd Nexus arrives, so I'll find out if it's an issue or is it just normal (if it really CAN be normal...).
not in any particular order. factory reset it. get z-device test from the play store and run a test on the screen. dont run benchmarks on this phone. many people are having issues. and dont overclock. people are bricking their phones. i think they overheat.
Shouldn't be anything to worry about
Anyone got these lines or am I the only one to worry about them... :/ ?

Are you able to get a picture for us to see and compare?
I have lines, more like dots when angling the phone. They look like solar panel reflection, as a description. Only visible under strong sun light.
I also see rectangle impressions at certain angles;
-CC
Here it is.
They're a little less noticeable in reality (I wanted to show them clearly), but they are. It becomes really annoying especially on one-colour backgrounds (greys!) and when swiping screens from one side to another.
Maybe it will cure itself? I really wouldn't like to do an RMA since, as I already mentioned, I live in Poland, and it would be pain to send it back to US and wait another months for new one (likely with some issues too...).
Please report whether you've got these.
PS. I also see those rectangles, but only at a very specific angle, and these are really not noticeable at all. All that bothers me are these lines...
I also get these lines when I turn the brightness up high
So I guess I'm not alone with this (issue?). If anyone spots the lines please report. It's really important to me as I'll be living with this device for probably a year or so and I really don't want to know that my phone is defective...
It's so sad; except lines, the phone is absolutely perfect; no overheating, no earphone buzz (at least not noticeable during calls at all), no yellow screen spots, no flickering, decent battery life... And now this.
Crap. Maybe that's just another "Nexus 4 feature" ?
Got my 2nd Nexus today and it's also got that strange banding. Guess it's somehow just normal...
You're seriously whining about this?? Really?!

Not entirely. It becomes noticeable mainly in dark rooms, and I really like to browse the Web in my bed on my Nexus 4
I guess I am becoming used to it now. It starts to be less noticeable, especially outdoors where it can't be seen at all. So I'll just stick with that and probably keep the phone.

I am experiencing the exact same issue you are describing and am worried myself. I just opened up my phone today. Did you end up RMAing the device? With people claiming that this is one of the best displays out there, it seems like more people would notice this problem, especially since it is so noticeable from the settings menu.
Here's a picture of the screen banding.
Yeah same issue here guys ... Already some post about it. I'm used to see thèse now but very visible at high light and grey or setting background.

So do all nexus 4s have this issue or should we be RMAing our devices?
i have this too...
why does iPhone 5 get display from lg and dont have this issue but lg themselves do?
strangely apple can handle lg's screens better than themselves
kind of sucks...
this is one of those things that once you've seen it you cant unsee it
i also have a little bump on my aluminum bezel you cant see it but everytime i scroll on the left side on the screen i feel it...
So I guess the majority of Nexus 4 devices have that, but bany users can just not be aware of this issue.
That kinda sucks, but for this price... it's totally acceptable for me
Just like to say that I also have them, they are more visible at higher brightness.
