Problems with display

hello, well you just left on the screen attached to the board when you set a white background or some application that has a white background you see a thin green line? or is it just my case? try to look you can barely see, but you see ... miraccomando with a white background is dark .. if no one sees practically nothing ... try to check the open page of google and look on the edge of the left is or there is a tiny green line?

hmmm weird.. but that is actually true.. its just like one thin line of green pixels

yes, just like one thin line of green pixels

I see it too, and I really don't think its a problem. Didn't even notice it until now.

i dont notice it in my daily use of the phone though.. if i did, i would probaly get it fixed.. its only when it is a completly white background, like google
-TB-

ok, I was concerned that this green line of pixels related only to my galaxy s...thanks

It's not a line of pixels, it's either an unused part of the screen's matrix, a sealing material for the screen layer casing, or the tip of the integrated touch panel.
Either way, what you see is not a part of the 800X480 matrix you've been promised, and i really had to make an effort untill i saw it. If this thread wouldn't be here, i would never know it's there.
It sometimes boggles my mind how far people would go to find "problems" with their new belongings, it's like they like to complain.

Look closely on the other side, A thin grey/purple line! omg
Isnt this all related to pentile ? thats what I thought initialy.

I have the same thing but don't see it as a problem.

can you just tell us what it looks like lol?

Oh come on....
meh, i guess sarcasm doesn't work in text.
Anyways, the same green line is there. Not suprising considering the screen is made by samsung as well.

This is related to the PenTile Matrix. I don't know the order of the pixels on the SGS so I can't exactly explain why it's the way it is. Anyways this is the difference:

Looks like a minor bug. Put a black to white edge inwards from the edge and there is no green band. Not hard to fix, but dont much care about it either.

Samsung's Galaxy S uses an RGBW stripe, opposed to the N1's RG:BG stripe.
Here's some info:

i have the same "issue". a bit annoying to be honest.

i have a problem with my galaxy s. i had root my galaxy. and install rayanZa lag fix. but the problem is about freezing screen ! when i am typing an sms the down corner of display at most freezes. its random. when i press power button and again prees it(tyrn off on display) it works goood again. or when i am sliding top bar to end of display(down) fully it sticks and i must press back button to close this bar. i did hard reset and flashing but its same yet... i did screen diagnostic test by the codes and it seem ok. display seems normal and no dead pixel it seems to have. all phisycall seems normal. sorry for my bad english . whats problem? any solution?

just to confirm if everyone is talking about the same lines i am seeing on SGS.
here are pics
there is a line intercepting the search box
http://i55.tinypic.com/2isfjif.jpg
there is a line beside the S in the middle of the pic (or intercepting the S) and there is another one directly below that line.

Display has yellowish tint to it. Help!!

So my excitement kinda came to an early end last night. I got my second replacement mt4g due to a bad screen. This one is perfect...except that when I was reading some text on a page with a white background, I noticed that from bottom to top, the white gradually goes from white to this yellowish tint. I will post a picture of it later on tonight.
My question is, do you have/had this problem and did you end up returning it or did it go away kind of like when this was happening to the iphone 4? I really hope this really doesn't become a full-blown issue like with the washed colors, because then I would have to request a 3rd replacement and make sure that it doesn't have dead pixels, dust under the screen, washed out colors, yellow tint, crooked ffc, creaky buttons, and gaps around the bezel. Thanks.
Here is an example of what i'm talking about except my display is white at the bottom and gradually goes to the color of the phone that is on the right, at the top.

Do you think that the problem is improper screen calibration and all I have to do is wait for a software update?

225 views and one reply?? Really guys?? Not trying to sound like I'm whining, but this is a serious problem and I think i'm not the only one. I just received my replacement, and it too has this yellowish tint towards the top of the screen. This will be my 4th time that I will be requesting a replacement, so in total so far, 4 defective phones.

ur phone has a bad screen. when black looks more light greyish and when white doesn't quite look white, bad screen.
return it, these are things u wanna check within the first few days!

I'm sorry, but it's really difficult to tell based on the picture you linked. Is there any way you can take a comparison photo with a good screen?

I can't see anything wrong from that photo. It will take something more than this to let others know if you have a problem.

The blacks never looked grayish, the colors were bright, crisp and vibrant, it was when looking at something with a white background. This issue has nothing to do with the washed screens that people are getting.

I figured it out based on a chat I had with a friend. I think that the backlight was improperly calibrated or something. Sorry that I can't take a better picture as I have already received my exchange which is much much better, the light is just more distributed evenly then the previous phone. Plus it doesn't creak, the ffc is dead centered, and light doesn't leak through between the bezel and the screen at the top of the phone. After 4 exchanges(5 phones total), I finally got a "perfect" device.
Here is a side-by-side shot sort of(I returned the defective device before I could think of take a pic of them together due to my excitement!)
You can easily tell that the screen of the phone on the right has way more light at the bottom of it and the top doesn't which results in a more obvious yellowish tint. The phone on the left (good one) doesn't have it as bad, the light is distributed evenly. Both were on auto brightness. The good display's(right) brightness is down a bit more but it doesn't matter since I tried to increase and decrease the brightness on the defective one(left) and it made no difference.

Green tint

Do you have the problem that your screen has a slightly green tint?
It is possible to get rid of it by using apps like "filter your screen" (just add more red and even more blue). But there's no comparison to tools like voodoo color (v1 and gamma correction) on a galaxy nexus/s.
"Filter your screen" biggest problem is that it kills the good black level performance on an oled, contrast is lowered too much for my taste...
Do you guys know some better alternatives (even with enabled root or other hacks)?

It's a screen problem, not caused by the software. But it is possible to get rid of it porting a kernel module called "ColorControl" which was used in many Galaxy Nexus' custom kernels.

Yes during my Galaxy S days i used to have vodoo colour which used to make the screen look amazing, waiting for supercurio or anyother developer to port the option to galaxy note2

So you have the same problem?
As far as I know ColorControl is just a port of voodoo color from the Galaxy S1. So it should be possible to port it to the Galaxy Note 2 as well. Otherwise I'm going to return this nice device with that sh***y display. I will never buy a smartphone with an amoled display again!

Bad luck that you have got a faulty screen

Yesterday I went to a store here in Germany, and the Note 2 there had the same color cast.
I really like the Note 2 but I hate its display. This is embarrassing for Samsung!

Exchange your device.

Looks like this is screen problem, I have perfect white color. Try to test it from *#0*# menu (type this combination at phone app)

Got my replacement today: Gues what?! Exactly the same...
At least the build quality is much better.

I've noticed the same green tint that kind of goes away the brighter the phone gets. My eyes adjust after a few minutes though and I can't really see it. I would really like to get a colortemp/hue adjuster though.

Too bad you guys got faulty screens, as i have slight blue tint on my screen but i absolutely love this! I had One X 6 months and i would never want to change this display to that on One X, this is the best display i've ever seen. I guess it's just me then...

The phone is bad with out your touch

I think the color calibration is totally off on this phone. They chose to calibrate it this way, and it is out of my hands so it doesn't bother me because I love the device. Videos look great when I want to watch them.
Color is all relative because you cannot choose the color of the ambient light around you, so you are never seeing the pure color unless you are in a controlled environment. So why get hung up about how inaccurate the color looks on something in comparison to something else that's not bouncing the true color you're looking for?

Yellow screen ?

Hi, i have one question for n4 owners.
When you look at your phone like this :
Is the screen look a little bit yellow ?
I hope is not a problem, juste ips technology :fingers-crossed:

410 err on the photo but it's probably uncured glue
if so, it'll fix itself unless you constantly overheat your phone (benchmarks and games)
>90% of the time it'll fix itself in a week or two,
it happens with the first batch or two of every phone launch because they didn't have enough time from screen production to sale for all of the units to fully cure.

When I look at it in line of the bottom left corner the screen looks a bit yellow. Every other corner is fine. Its not a problem it will work itself out in a few days.

I don't know if it's a glue problem.
It's look like screen problem :/ but i want to know if others users have same thing.

Yes bottom left and upper right you too ?

I am having the same issue, but i do not need to look from that angle. I see the yellow tone in the options menu just looking directly in front of the phone during normal use. Mainly in the left bottom corner but most of the bottom part I would say.

I'm assuming this is the nature of the screen technology. Mine does this looking at it from the bottom left or top right corner.

Y es i have this problem, and the colors where off, i think the gamma value is high. I hope an update because all have the yellowish screen, i dont think is glue for all at the bottom on the screen.

Mine is like that too

could you upload a bigger pic, or someone else? my htc one s looked super cold when viewing from the sides lol. that's do to amoled though.

Mine is like that too same angle, every other angle is perfect. i think its on all of them.

I didnt have this issue and i ran couple benchmarks. I did heat up slightly and the scores sucked

So you think is gone because of heat ?

I order mine, but im waiting for shipping, when I get it, i will turn on and then I'll check the angle and I let you know if this is natural.

I have the yellow tint too if I hold the phone diagonal en look at the surface.

Bleu tint web you look opposite no?
Someone know where contact Google ?

Mine is yellow tinted regardless of angle. I'm hoping this is incurred glue, obviously.
I compared against my Atrix last night & it's very obvious.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

If I was to buy the phone in a couple of days would the yellow tint issue be solved as the phone would have been unused stock for a good week allowing enough time for glue to settle?

I'm having problems with my screen as well. Black levels are off and everything has a yellowish grey tint. I have an Optimus G next to it on the left so you can compare, as both of these phones use the same panel. Both phones are on max brightness.

Light bleed ANSWER FOUND

I got an10 and I would like to know how to tell if there is light bleed? I've seen people speak of it but I don't see where anyone says how to check if I have it and I only have a few days left before I can return it. thanks to those who may help me cue in on this problem to see if I have it.

Download a light bleed app from Google Play and shut the lights off and see.

NO. WHY?
All caps aside, if you don't notice it I wouldn't look for it. Because once you find it, it'll probably stick to your mind for a long time.

Exactly right. If light bleed is so bad that it really bothers you then by all means return the device and try to get a better one, but if you can't even tell if the problem exists don't go looking for it. All you have to gain is dissatisfaction with an otherwise good device. Watch some movies, use the device as you normally would, and if it looks good to you don't worry about light bleed again.

Or you have the same experience I had. Little to no appreciable light bleed. My first N10 had none, but had a small fracture/defect in the glass (you'll see my image in the light bleed forum).
Second one, a nickle sized but very dim bleed and only seen when in a closet with the door closed and no light.
Acceptable.

Loving mine. I have a small "chipping" in the top glass, also minimal light bleed.

I took another picture the other day in a closet, since the first one I posted in another thread gave the screen a purplish glow due to the angle. Also, the Backlight Bleed app icons were at the bottom of the screen so I turned the N10 upside down for this one. The white icons are overexposed, which I suppose means the bleed in the photo may be exaggerated to some extent, but it seems pretty accurate as to the extent itself. Again, 100% brightness in a dark closet. I'm telling myself I can live with it.

If you go looking for a problem - you will find one. Even if there was not one to begin with.

I am on my 6th unit. I've had it for a week, and I've been using it constantly. It appeared to have minimal bleeding upon opening. After a week of "breaking it in," however, the bleed in the bottom left corner is quite apparent. Anything brighter than auto-brightness and it's noticeable in any setting or on any screen. I'm just tired of gambling with every return. I mean...this is my 6th one. *lol*
Judge for yourself.
