So can anyone confirm that the striations or lines on the screen are normal??
Im talking about when you pull down the notifications bar there are light lines that come down vertically and soma cases are horizontal.
Please let me know I got 30 days with it. thanks!

my first nexus s had darker whites than the display model at the store. I would recommend comparing yours with the store display or another persons nexus s, I think this is the best way, since we cant physically see how your phone screen looks. good luck
Are you referring to the gray section where your service provider is listed? Or the very dark area where the notifications are listed?
If I stare I can see some lines in the gray area.
I do see a slight grid pattern in the power control widget.
No I'm talking about grey section where your messages show up

I don't have a Nexus S, but I have a Galaxy S i9000M which has a similar (if not exactly the same) screen. If I bring up a screen that is a solid colour, I do notice some imperfections like you describe. They are hardly noticeable though.
Weird. My nexus doesn't have that and I would know, I modded my nexus 1 to be pretty much like gingerbread 6 months back, massive burn in.

actually no.... mine doesn't have any lines or defects.
the only lines are the horizontal ones separating the notifications.
I think I know what you mean. My N1 on certain backgrounds has very faint grey lines. Not always visible, even on white web pages

Yes, I can see it. I can see it on any AMOLED/SAMOLED phone I've ever come in contact with. It's the nature of AMOLED screens unlike most LCD screens. With AMOLED, each pixel is individually powered, and it's impossible to have each pixel (or subpixel) be identical, which leads to slight differences in output and color reproduction. An LCD screen is backlight by either florescent tubes or recently, LEDs, which produce an even backlight (usually) where the colors are controlled by filtering each pixel, rather than having to illuminate each pixel.
Anyway, I only really notice it when the brightness is at the minimum and it's very dark in the place I'm using my phone. If I crank up the brightness or if I'm in a well lit area, I don't notice it at all really. Although if it's VERY obvious, you might have a screen that's significantly lower quality than average... it happens, bad QC or something, exchange it.
Oh, and if you stare at a plasma TV long enough you'll notice the same thing... similar technology, each pixel illuminated individually.
Please help! I just bought the Bell galaxy s 2 today and realised that in low brightness settings screen has a pink tint.
Does anyone have this issue? Its more visible in grey colors. When i compare with my galaxy s, galaxy s' whites are true white and galaxy s 2's white are pinkish tint on it. When the brihhtness is at %100 its not that visible but once u set it %0 it becomes pinkish.
Is it what it suppose to be or its defective?
Note: yes i played with background effect but it didnt help. I am running KG2.
Edit: I compared with galaxy s again and if I make the brightness %100 on galaxy s 2 both screens almost identical (although SGS2 still has little warm whites) but at %0 brightness when I pull down the notification screen sgs2 has literally pink hue
Why not anyone comment on this? 100 something views and no comments?
U guys all have sgs2. pls at least share your phone's display colors so I can know if something is wrong with mine.
Yep got it to and also pink on camera also mine going back to Amazon tomorrow had two in a week with same problem Ive got one ordered from another retailer ... but I think its a inherent fault

Are you saying your whole screen looks rather pinkish ? I've seen couple of devices that were pretty much reddish when showing white, but i think that's not normal. You should replace it.

Yes whole screen has a reddish tint. Especially grey colors. Instead of grey it displays reddish. If i compare Gmail app with Sgs side by side, my screen has ridiculously pink color.
I wonder if its a software issue or hardware? Cuz I remember in sgs hardcore's kernel he made an.option to change the colors.
This is my second sgs2. First one had a dead pixel. So I didnt wanna go right away and change it. I wanted to ask yours.
More input will appreciated.
I uploaded a pic SGS and SGS2 side by side displaying Grey Graident Colors. what do you think?
If your phone looks like the one on the right, get it replaced. No rom/firmware will make it look good.

I'd take the lack or response to mean that it's not a problem experienced by many people. If your read the threads talking about the display, you'll see there's wide variations in color temperature. Cool/blue seems to be normal while there are reports of phones leaning toward warm/yellow. Pink hasn't been reported a lot so I'd exchange the phone.

I am also from India and I dont have any such problem with my sgs2...
My girlfriend and I have the same german sgs2 (dbt) and mine has a bit of a greenish tint whereas hers had a but if a reddish tint. You can't notice it when using the phones alone but when you put them side by side you can notice it a little bit, but really not that much. Seems to be an AMOLED thing. Maybe I'll manage to take a photo for you.

Thanks a lot for that image. I have been wondering what people were talking about when they mentioned pinkish screen...
Luckily I don't seem to have that problem. It seems like there are a few defective screens out there.
perhaps supercurio will have a voodoo colour fix with the sgs2 whenever he releases it. It fixed the tinge on the original sgs. Look it up if u are unfamiliar with it
I changed the phone today and got a new one. Its better now and significany less pink color.
Also I discovered something that the pink tint is only visible when u look at the screen 90 degrees. If u tilt the phone a little (5-10 degrees) to left-right or up-down and view like that the color turns normal (like my year old sgs).
It made me realise that this is a screen coating issue (maybe coating causes polarisation). So do u think this will go away with the time of use?
When I turn off the screen and check it under light by tilting I can see a little purple glare.
What do u think?
Hello all. I have a weird problem about some pixels on A501 screen: when the screen is on and the background is black, some of them will show "bright"... but not white, i'd say some sort of pale gold or very light brown, but again not white. With other backgrounds (red, blue, green, white) those pixels acts as normal, not being distinguishable from the others.
Is there something I could do? The issue is a lot more noticeable with 100% screen brightness.
Update: I sent the tab to service repair, and they sent me a new one. Guess what? Same problem again, right where it was on the old tablet!!
Definetely they are not stuck or dead pixel (I can say that because of the color of the pixel)
I was thinking, since I use a Tucano Youngster Case (http://www.tucano.com/shop/youngster-for-10-tablet-pc-1.html) which has a magnetic clip on the back, could this be the issue?? I'm going to try to take a photo at this pixel and attach it here.

Unfortunately pics won't show my pixels, they're just too small. However I tried passing another magnet (more powerful than the one on the case) both on the screen, with a direct contact, and on the back, where the case's magnet is located, but no other pixels got damaged. So I don't think the magnet is responsible... Does the iPad folder case has a magnet in direct contact with the screen too? If that's the case I believe that magnets don't affect screens at all (imagine iPad's owners complaints?).
What do you think?

Well, when I set my background as black, on this one and two other Android tablet I had, it sometimes show a short brown/gold line on the top left of the screen. Most of the time its not there thoough. So it just seems to be a software thing. Although I do not have any problem where pixels appears randomly throughout.

Can you get a pic, so I can try to say if we're talking about the same issue? However, my pixels are always there, even in the "Acer" and "Android" boot screen... so I doubt it's a software issue.
Just a heads up... Yesterday I got my 3rd Iconia, and guess what, same problem again. I think I will just live with it... but I'm extremely annoyed.
Does anyone knows what kind of problem can this be, with gold-coloured pixel only with black background?
You should load up the Screen Test app that sets all pixels to red, blue, green, black, white, etc. in sequence as well as displaying several resolution and gradient screens and see how those pixels react.
I bought one A500 that had bad Wi-Fi but all pixels were perfect. Exchanged it last weekend for a second one with working Wi-Fi and all the pixels are also perfect. I don't see any gold pixels.
I'll disagree with your statement "Definetely they are not stuck" in your second post because if they are always gold in all screens they are indeed stuck. Not stuck on white or black but still stuck on that one color.
Does this happen on all home screens or just one? I hope you can post a picture of some sort because I don't know where to look to see if mine has the same issue but, running Screen Test, I don't see any incorrect pixels in Screen Test.

Among three tabs they were in different numbers and position... however they were between 3 and 6, and in the middle (vertically speaking); horizontally, instead, i found them twice on the right half on the screen (volume keys up) but this last iconia I have right now they are on the left. I also managed to get some photo, I'll post them later.
EDIT: Unfortunately I forgot my camera's MMC at home... will get back there in 10 hours and post the photos. However I ran Pixel Fixer during the night (an app which alternates red/blue/green/white screens very fast) but the pixels were still there this morning.

I ran through all the colors in Screen Test and found only ONE bad pixel across the entire screen and it's only when the pixel is supposed to be blue; it's black instead. That same pixel is correct on all the other colors though.
Otherwise, at full brightness and on any color, they are all on correctly and off when the screen is set to black. I don't see any other colors as you describe.
If your screen is doing something similar across three different tablets, maybe it's something you are doing but I'm not sure what it could be.

Please note that this issue is present in the Acer and Android boot screen... what could I do wrong in that phase?
Ok, here's the photo. The three pixels are inside the white circle.
I just rebooted after setting display brightness to full and did not see what you see. I guess I'm no help. Sorry.
First of all, I'm going to throw out a quick FYI fact: The One carries a 1080p display on a 4.7inch screen. The sheer resolution of the display increases the chances of getting a dead or stuck pixel. The ~469 PPI on the One also means it'll be slightly more difficult to spot these defected pixels.
Definition of dead vs stuck pixels:
Dead: These pixels are black and only visble on a bright background (preferably a white one). These pixels remain unlit (no green/red/blue pixel lights up)
Stuck: These pixels are essentially stuck on either red, green or blue colors and can be spotted on a background that is any color but of that the pixel is (if the pixel is green, you should be able to see it in a red, blue, white, or black background). These probably stand out best on a black background.
It's generally viewed that stuck pixels have a higher chance of repair-ability through flashing colors (white, black, red, green, blue) in succession on the display through an app.
I just want to know how much these defects affect HTC One devices as HTC has had some pretty bad issues with dead/stuck pixels in the past.
I, myself, have a dead pixel (unlit -- black) on the bottom of the display (barely above the "u" in Beats Audio when you boot up the device). It isn't bothering me too much, but I'm weary as to whether I should keep my unit as this may diminish future resale value..
Do you guys have a dead or stuck pixel on your unit?
p.s I'm not sure whether this should go under the "general" section or "Q/A", but I'm not looking for a specific troubleshooting Q. If it needs to be moved, please report the post (or move it if you're a mod).

Mine stuck pixel is white-ish yellowish colour and can only be seen on a black background with the brightness quite high.
When I first got the phone however I didn't have this problem, so its happened over time, I have since sold the phone so I can get a 64GB version
I though i had a stuck white pixel on the notification bar at the top of the screen, after a bit of investigation it appears the stuck/white pixel is actually a defect in the stock wallpapers
can anybody else confirm this???
it look like jpeg compression has removed the stuck/pixel though you can still see the location.

I had one stuck (white) pixel but it disappeared after using a fixer a few times
the suspected white/stuck pixel still shows on the stock wallpaper, but as i said when i take a screen shot, it`s on the screen shot , so it`s a defect in the wallpaper.

You should use one of the dead/stuck pixel fix/detector apps from the play store, some free ones are good enough
I have used a dead fixel finder app, and no stuck/dead pixels show up on any color that i can see
It`s just strange the htc wallpaper has a defect that looks like a stuck white pixel.

Do you think HTC would replace a unit based on dead pixels, and how many would be the threshold?
I have 1 dead pixel visible on white background, but each time i have to search for it couple of seconds even if i know the location, so it is not so bad...
If a WHITE pixel only shows up on a BLACK background, is that a stuck pixel or a dead pixel?

I had a single dead pixel and T-Mobile replaced my device. Not sure about HTC's policy, but I'm sure it's similar.
sadly got some dead pixels, the shape of the outline of the moon, though only i notice it hehe, my brother wich is a freak in those things and he didnt notice
I plan to leave my bad pixel until just before the warranty is up then I'll get it replaced and sell a like new phone for the HTC Two lol
Thanks for the heads up about the "pixel fixer" apk. Looking at the images, my phone is defect free. Rock on!

I have sent mine for a replacement today because of the dead pixel and a small darker spot on the display. HTC support said they are replacing defective units(dead pixels) 30 days after buying. Hope my operator will give me another one in the next few days.
Has anyone noticed any screen tint and/or discoloration? On a white background I've noticed that my screen has a slight pink tint on the bottom 20%. Dark backgrounds/images are unaffected.
Mine is uniform top to bottom... In dark lighting it does look a little holographic at times when I'm reading text on white background though.
I have a similar problem. Bought the US unlocked version and whites all over the screen have pink hue.

I preordered one from Verizon and received it yesterday. I'm going to drop by my local Verizon store and see if their display(s) have the same issue.
Mine has a redish tint as well. If you go to Display you can change the color profile. Can't tell if it actually helps though.

I tried playing around with the color temperature settings. Making the color temperature cooler makes it better, but still visible.
You mean like temperature ? Mine's a tad cooler than what I'm used to but I'm leaving it default. No reddish tint here.

I've got no tint unless I look at the screen at extreme angles (like >70 degrees). Even then, it's only a very slight pinkish color.
When I first turned on the phone, the screen was slightly warmer than I prefer. I fixed this by knocking the screen temperature slider 2 ticks over to the right.
Mine is fine. I can see it at extreme angles as well but just barely and really wouldn't notice it without stumbling on this thread

Mine has it at the bottom too, I think it is slowly going away but maybe not. I will give it a few days and if it is not completely gone I will get it replaced. This time yesterday my lower left side was really pink and bad, now it is hard to tell most of the time. Some LCD screens take a few days to cure properly. They say the sun or UV lights will speed up this process. Lets keep updating each other on our progress.
My htc 10 has a yellowish screen tint at the bottom when looking directly at the phone. However, it seems to go away if i tilt the phone away.

I definitely noticed a pink tint on my verizon model
I think maybe the "hologram" effect I'm seeing is almost an interpolating of white and pink. It is similar to the "shiny" effect you see if you slightly tilt to the left or right, but less pronounced. I mostly only see it when I'm scrolling thru text. Definitely seems slightly pink on white.
If I look at my screen at the perpendicular it is noticeable. On a pure white background the top 80% is white but the bottom 20% gradually fades into a subtle pink hue at the bottom.

I've seen a few people complain on Reddit as well. And someone said it's due to the glue and it should be gone with time, but I don't know if it's true. Was considering buying the 10 myself, but it's still not available in my country so I'll wait for you guys to say how it goes.
And I'm also sorry to hear every one of you has the issue ;//
Spot on! Finally someone who has the same issue as me (and clearly a lot of other people have it too)
And yes, mine does have that, very visible. I have no idea why they didn't pick an IPS or amoled display, the price is already pretty ridiculous.
Also tried the temperature changing function, doesn't do any thing. No software will fix this either, its just a hardware thing.

Quick question for those having this issue, if you pull up a plain white background like say one part of a display test do you see the discoloration on that?
