So the smearing issue was supposed to be fixed on the MEA update, yes it did but only for the settings. There's still smearing issues under notifications.
Try this, make sure you have a lot of notifications, enough so you can scroll up and down, now turn brightness to the lowest or set auto brightness. Now scroll up and down and the smearing effect is back.
To be honest I'm kinda disappointed with Samsung this year.

It isn't completely fixed. I encounter it when scrolling through the list of apps. It is very noticeable if you have the flipboard app or any app with red icons.
They didn't really fix it. They just changed the background color from true black to something close to black and doing the same for the pure white color. So, it doesn't apply to anything other than Settings and Contacts.
Samsung needs to get on the ball.
1. AMOLED problems.
2. Barely usable Gallery. (Lag + terrible thumbnail quality)
3. Slow opening native apps.
It's embarrassing when my old One X is smoother and faster than my de-bloated GS4.
Sent from my Galaxy S4
I just purchased the Samsung Galaxy S4 the other day. I will be returning if I am able.
The below website/link can be opened on your cells browser and once on that site you can blatantly see the defected hardware screens... They never fixed the issue they simply hid the issue.
I pray that I can return this thing. This is a hardware issue, a defect, it can't be fixed. My old phone was better.

I cant post links because I dont have 10 posts so type "lagom response time test" in google. First link. This site blatantly shows the purple smearing still present in every single Samsung S4 sold... They can hide it in the settings but not online or anywhere else.

Just wondering if anyone else is seeing this same problem. When on a white screen like a Google search or aldiko, where the text is displayed portrait mode to the left and right of where text is displayed there are like faint bleed lines where the text is displayed. I tried with brightness all the way up and for the most part they go away but around 50% brightness if you look closely I can see it. Do any of you see the same thing. Just wondering if the amoled screens are like that the Samsung behold II is like that. But godly enoguh in landscape I don't see it. Just portrait. Just hoping nothing is wrong with my cool new phone.
Here are 2 pix of what I see
http://tauruspc.net/pix/1.jpg

And a better one. Just look to the left and right
http://tauruspc.net/pix/3.jpg
I *JUST* answered your question on google support lol
I have the same thing but mine is definatly not that easy to see.
I just checked and i cant see what youre talkin about so i guess my answer is no
Talk about ironic timing. Weird will look then. And the weird thing is on xda page I don't see in Google support I do. LOL.
Also, I am using Dolphin Browser not default so that may be in play I'm not sure, try downloading it and see if you have the same problem maybe.
Yeh I will do that mainly seems with just black on white portrait mode like Google support. Not xda though.
Wonder if it has to do with power consumption. It takes more power to display white pixels. With the black on the same line maybe those lines with text are consuming less power on the line making the rest of the LEDs on that line of the matrix receive more power, making them brighter?
I tried for about 10 minutes to make that as unconfusing as possible lol
Makes sense. Weird only on portrait not landscape. but just spoke with HTC and they say that haven't heard of any problems like that and can send this in get a problems like that and can send this in get a temp one while they fix it and then switch around again
haven't seen much improvement setting manual brightness either.
I get the same thing, I think it is simply a scaling artifact. When you double tap to zoom the lines are no longer visible.
You can see this effect in the boot loader, but only adjacent (the right of) to where there is text at the left. if you look down where there is no text, and just white space, the ghosting lines across the white are not present.
either way, doesn't really bother me, you really have to look for them to see them.
Yeh double checking I see it there too. So yeh just not me then. Probably just amoled tech. the kind of blinky static lines is what bugs me. Don't happen that often and still kind of have to look to see those but since I have been using heavily since I got it about every 4- 5 hours I see where it gets like static lines horizontally about one pixel think blinky faintly in random spots all over the screen but kindof like static or noise from chip shielding or bad power frequency.
Hi,
When selecting settings from the settings menu in system or apps, background for it is very weird. At first i though that my screen is bad, but after quick test i saw that its not the case.
Has everyone seen this before?
It's a new bug. All the menus that use this exact grey background have it on JB 4.2. Same on the N7.
Any developments on a fix for this bug?

What do you guys mean, I don't see what he is referring to in the picture or on my N10
Look at the right side of the picture (not in low res, otherwise you wont see it)...... it almost looks like mountains or a graph. discoloration....
Did anyone notice that the lock screen brightness is uneven with random bright spot when ripple effect is enabled? The issue may be reproduced with black wallpaper and brightness set to full.
Same issue also reported on S3. For example.

Yes, I read somewhere that is a common problem. It might get fixed with coming updates. Have you noticed any issues with the gallery when scrolling up and down or when long press selecting images (I have got some flickering of the blue boundary light)?

I was going to say it only happens with only 3-4 pictures. good to know its not a faulty handset. I sent one back because of this. doesn't bother me too much either.
Please do not check "yes this is a question" on POLLs in general subforums. Qs go in Q&A so I will edit the title for you.
Thank you for your cooperation

Surely samsung have done this on purpose so that you can actually see the ripple effect. i.e. if the screen was very black, the ripple effect wouldn't be as noticeable. This theory seems to be suported by the fact that when you turn the ripple effect off, the "blackness" is at the correct level.
I haven't noticed this, I'm running ARHD 5.0
Hello guys,
I was hoping to know if you also have this effect on your oneplus 5's.
The best way to describe is when you are on dark screens like twitter's night mode and you have some images with dark margins.
When you scroll up or down, does it appear a trail that disappears after some miliseconds? Like the screen refreshing itself making that trail disappear.
If you wanna try do this: twitter, night mode, follow for instance Nvidia (his logo is black and dark). Then go to home screen of twitter and try to find a nvidia's twitt. When you find it, look to his logo and go up and down. Do you notice something on the image itself? Like a trail of black pixels or blur effect that disappear after a while?
Hope that you can understand me.
Edit: don't know if I can post links here, if not please tell me that I remove it. This link is from Reddit where it appears an image where you can try this effect:
https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS6/comments/34t923/is_your_screen_defective_test_for_yourself_by/
Edit 2: it appears that the effect is more visible on low screen brightness
Best regards.

Yes, I have noticed it as well though I also had it on my OP3. I think it is more of a thing with OLED screens and low brightness.

Yes, I agree. As this happened on my note 4 as well as my axon 7, oneplus 3 and oneplus 5
Yep, I've experienced that once. Dark purple logo on black screen
It happens on Amoled screens when the backlight is low. I have seen the same thing on all my Samsung phones as well.
I also confirm, low brithness OLED screen (samsung s3, s4, s5, s7, op3, op5)
oled are good for low battery consumption and high contrast ratio (blacks).
Otherwise, lcd pannels will be faster and more accurate with colors.
I came from an S7 EDGE and I just got my OP5 and there's something I hate about my new phone. Every photos videos on YouTube, Reddit , internet in general looks washed out. The colors are good but when you pay attention, you can see the same artefacts you see on a highly compressed video/photo. In other words, the screen looks like it's not even a 8 bit color panel. Do you guys know a solution about this? I never saw this problem on any phone ( I'm a cellphone seller in Canada ), not even on my S7 EDGE, Alcatel IDOL 3, Nexus 5
Maybe it's because it's pentile or something
You might want to change the screen calibration method under settings / display and see if that helps at all.
Unfortunately the problem is still existent. Look at the uploaded screenshot with your phone The colors on the dialer supposed to be gradient but it's not. That my problem .

The dialer looks lighter at the top and darker at the bottom--are you saying there isn't enough transition between the two or that the colors in the screenshot are inaccurate? You might want to do a search for gradient android dialers (which should have screenshots) to verify the problem is with the phone rather than with the specific app you are using. All of the gradient screenshots I pulled up looked fine on my phone but the color changes were a lot more subtle than the one you provided. It's possible you have a bad display or that it's calibrated incorrectly for some reason. I've never noticed any problems with the colors on my OP5 and never read a complaint similar to yours.
You might want to make sure Night Mode or Reading Mode aren't on in settings because both would affect the colors.
Also make sure ambient display is off to verify that isn't doing anything screwy.
Have you rooted your phone or installed a custom kernel or anything like that? Do the colors look exactly the same when you boot into safe mode?
I see the banding in the dialer (the background where the dialpad is). Given that it's a screenshot though, that part is likely to be how OnePlus designed the dialer app (screen issues wouldn't show up in a screenshot).
