Guys
does anyone notice vertical lines on the Galaxy S4
I have a feint but noticeble vertical line running down from where the battery % is on the status bar
I have tried different wallpapers etc, but it seems as though its burnt into the screen, the vertical lines are most evident on the stock blue wallpaper.
I am thinking of returning it for a replacement

Long story short....Im in love with this phone.
But my first one had vertical lines that ran down the screen and I thought it was just the color scheme but I found out that it is Screen Burn in =(
I returened it and my second has screen burn in too!!
What's with Samsung giving this phone recycled or defected amoled screens
Should I return it and rebuy it in a month or send it into Samsung??
If there are alternatives please share .......

Have any pics, so we have an idea what you're talking about?
Damn it sucks but I don't have a camera buttttt if you pull your notification bar down look at the grey area.....you should see some sort of grid lines that are light
Mine has that but also there are a couple of dark lines that can be seen on everything including pictures.....

i have the nexus S for like 3 or 4 monthjs now. i noticed that if i hide for example the notification bar on top. a slight burn in on the screen appears for like 2 seconds then it dissapears.
i wonder. will it get any worse ? what are my options here ?
if i put a live wallpaper, will it go still effect the screen?
honestly this is the only screen after like 5 nexus that doesnt have grid pattern, doesnt have dead pixels. doesnt have pink or yellow ugly colors.
What model you got?

what else would it be ? if i hide the status bar. i can see marks of the clock and the line " where the statusbar is available " for like 2 seconds before it dissapear.
I think you might be seeing some lag on your screen and just think you see a burn effect. Samoled can not get burned in.
Also, when pulling down the notification over things like android keyboard it shows through a little. It as if it was a screen burn effect.

If its there for 2 seconds and then it disappears then its definitely not a screen burn effect. It would have been permanent.
How are you hiding the status bar?

burn in has to be permanent. if it is just for 2 seconds, it might be the pixels readjusting to return back to normal.... i can't think of anything else.

You know, it is possible that its your own eye getting the burn. I mean if you have the screen brightness all the way up and switch that part of the screen to all black your eyes will get that burn effect and slowly fade out. Get a camera and record it. Watch the video and if its not in video then I'm correct in assuming its your eyes.

I think it is normal. For example I can see the status bar when XDA app is loading, throught the brown/orange full screen splash.
But that is not burn in, or it would always be there, like someone already said.
Well. What do u call that?

This is not true. At bestbuy they have a nexus s on display. You can see a slighty faded android with an exclamation symbol burned into the screen. It becomes VERY noticable when youre viewing a webpage since its all white.
My hypothesis is that the samoled pixel colors all age differently. since the status bar pixels are almost never lit up, they would show a slightly different color. But thats just an hypothesis. Its not a fact.

haha!!! at last we find a flaw in your super super nexus s
anyway, on topic, i had it too on the n1 but that was comprehensible as froyo had a whitish statusbar. this one is black ( pixels are not being lit up). i can imagine burn in with the clock or some of the green icons but the statusbar itself ??

nothing is absolutely perfect
i notice it only when im statusbarless(i get rid of the status bar in CM settings).
This happened about once per hour, my screen will flash ,i means : a bright line appears at the left edge of my screen, brighter than anything i have ever seen normally on this screen, and disappear immediately. and not thing more is wrong.
I am using the CM9 Rom from locerra and it is a great rom, i don't know if this is caused by the rom, but i have not notice this when running stock HC.
I am just worrying if this will do any harm to the screen, or is there any way to get rid of it?
I have not find any pattern when will this show up, it has been shown when i am watching a movie on the MX player, and when i am using Chrome.
Has Anyone noticed this?
Just noticed this for the first time with LQ2

As test, turn off Surface dithering under settings -> performance
Edit: seems this is jackpot, have not seen the white left line issue anymore..
EDIT2 : nope, still on left side seldom, also noticed on bottom once today
Try the app SyPressure.
In my p6810 with stock ICS the app triggers the white line to flash like mad.
Try and report if you be so kind.
Experienced this a few times. Stock ICS, left side too.

I'm currently on my second N3 (the first one had vertical lines in photos) and looks like this one has a bad display. When using Tapatalk with the dark theme, the bottom left corner/edge of the display is brighter than the rest. When testing with Screen Adjuster, the difference is very noticeable. The issue can be seen even with just Thumb Keyboard with WP7 theme.
Has anyone else noticed this kind of problem?
Return it and buy from another store. Seems like these guys are selling you lemons.

The two phones are from different stores, I'm still waiting for a replacement for the first one.

Check it with the stock messaging app, it should have a uniform brightness. Mine is glowing on the left edge and especially on the bottom left corner.

Should this happen again, The vertical lines are solved by clearing cache/data in the camera app

The problem can not be seen in a screenshot. And the camera lines disappeared after a hard reset but came back soon after.

You may notice that the black screen when you open the settings. Not symmetric Colors.
There is a difference in the backlight. Increase in the left of the screen.
AMOLED has no backlight! the issue is due to the production process (basically: the more of the center of the wafer your particular screen has been cut out, the more uniform it will be)!

Change from Adapt Display to Dynamic. Best thing to do to resolve the problem.

Dynamic? Hideous more like, my eyes can't stand any of Sammys over saturated pre presets, Movie is closest to normality I can find personally.

If you want to get rid of display brightness issues, just switch to Dynamic, as the 'blacks' in Settings would be even blacker, to the point where it doesn't really light up as it uses the OLED technique of showing true black.
Right now im typing using xda premium 4. I see grayish stripes on the white background and they are awful.. do you see the same thing? Check out on white background under the sun..

I haven't noticed this on my edge+, on the note 5 I had this dirty screen issue under direct sunlight. That along with reception issues is why I exchanged it for the edge+ and so far its been great.
