lighter spot on gray background on the screen ??

i just noticed 2 spots one on the right and the other on the left
they appear as lighter than surrounding area in a gray background only in low brightness
they are ill defined .... not a ring
i ll post a pic later on
any help about this ??

I believe this is a limitation on the SAMOLED+ ( was not there on the original SAMOLED ) some phones dont have this un-uniformity of rendering greys but probably a good majority have.

i searched before posting but didn't found any similar thread
so whats the problem ..... is it normal
it is not obvious but it is annoying to have it in a new device only
in normal use i don't see it but the only screen that i can see it when looking for battery usage as it gives the screen a plain gray color

You have 3 choices:
1. Do nothing - no problem under normal use, so why whine?
2. Return the phone.
3. Find one of the 306507 threads involving screen defects and filled with the rantings of some of the most disturbed people you could ever wish to meet. Won't "cure" your phone, but it may be of some succour.
I recommend #3 for you.

LOL nice.
I actually have the same issue, and ended up in this thread. I'm just gonna live with it, not a big spot in my case.

[Q] Display problem

Hey guys,
I'm having a problem with the display on my G2. I spotted a grey spot on my display. It's not very big and can only be seen if your in a dark room and the display is black. Sounds really like a minor issue, but now that I know it's there, it just bugs me.
Any of you guys have an idea what this is, or having the same problem? (Just test it out)
I'm not sure if this is reason enough to get it replaced

You can't see it very well, because I just don't have a better way of taking a picture from it than my Nexus 7

I won't look on mine... because if it's something common I will have it for sure.. and I know myself it will bug me till the end ...
Anyway looks like glue residue or something in that matter, in case you do not have a screen protector.
If you can prove it to the store, get it replaced... This is a flagship device. Prestige one... Even minor appearance problems shouldn't be there.
Personally if I had it there and as you say, you can see it, get it replaced, and you never know if this i snot a beginning of something bigger? What if your screen falls off? (bit paranoid, but you know what to say in the store if they gonna give you hardtime )

Get it replaced! A $500 phone should not have that.

yeah, get it replaced if you want to. But i have a dead pixel on my G2, it bugged me for about a week, but ive forgotten its even there now haha

[Q] N4 rear flash ring?

Hi there!
i recently bought an N4 and i love it but i was wondering why my rear flash is like the way it is (see pictures). I bought it completely new, or supposedly new, on ebay for around $200... i actually couldnt believe the price haha
any comments as to how to replace it? due to the flash lens/ring it allowed dust in the rear camera which is so annoying.
thanks!

I dont know, but my flash looks completely different. You sure that is a nexus 4 and not some fake stuff?

haha yeah it works perfectly fine though
another thing i noticed was this... i dont know if it's normal either
there's vertical lines when the screen is off and noticeable when caught in the light at certain angles........
i'm starting to think this was a broken phone but refurbished after

the rear flash ring is normal but the bars on the screen is a new one, i have never seen that, its usually a clear screen and you can see the dots from the digitizer from different angles.
maybe the screen has been replaced?

Wow, I've never seen such vertical lines on my n4 before. That is really strange, mate.
Although there are horizontal lines/patterns on the screen. They are conduction medium for the touch screen, but no..never seen such vertical ones...

Those who have S7s already, any hardware quirks/flaws to look out for?

My S7 Edge is coming tomorrow and I'm always paranoid about things like stuck pixels, dead pixels etc. Have any of you noticed anything that would make you want to exchange for another device?

Yeah. My S7 has way too many pixels. [emoji23]

got my s7 last wednesday and i absolutely love it!
no dead pixels, vibrator is strong, buttons work well and are responsive, speaker sounds fine, and the glass front/back are perfectly clear, not a scratch on it. And the Titanium Silver color is beautiful! I really don't want to put a case on it!!
Samsung has never let me down in terms of hardware flaws out-of-the-box.

No issues yet. Only quirk is installing apps. I Cannot find the option to disable "allow Google to regularly scan".

I dont know, maybe the glue or any protection more than normal, see this vídeo bellow, 3:38 second and you will see, all s7 edge have a green tone when have in a white image, for me it's annoying and is why I won't buy that model, I love the edge but this feature/annoying thing for me it's impossible, I constantly see and see the problem.

Dark line on display

My 9T display when there is low light, the brightness is set to low and the image I see on the display is darkish I can see a vertical line at the right side of the display, is this normal or should I return It?

multiple users reported similar issues with low brightness, some said it's a rom issue but to be sure, post a screenshot or something and wait for others to respond.

Exactly in the same place, I think it's a recurring problem on this model.

Replaced the phone and there is no line in the new one, you should return It.

I don't have something like that on mine. Looks like banding to me, like on TVs. It can happen, it's probably not important. Screens aren't perfectly uniform.
