New Grey line on left side of my S4 screen - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all...
I have just notice two days ago a grey line on my screen...(left side)
Really noticeable on a grey screen (not for red/green but also present on blue, just less...). I have never noticed this before, despite of being several hours per day on my screen since several monce... No drop....
As you can see, small spots are also visibles, particulary on bottom left side (like "commons" dot on amoled screen). Its like a strip causing a little gradiant on left side (when looking very hard....)
I can see it on screenshot so it's a screen issue...
I saw a lot of thread reporting grey lines due to amoled technology, but i think my case is a little bit different...
Photos of my screen are here:

If you use your phone a lot in landscape mode, the grey line could be screen burn in from the status bar. I have read about people claiming this can happen (not necessarily in landscape mode.) It looks to be the right width to suspect this.

Of course, i think you're right! I suppose the only solution is to change the screen right? It can be considered as a screen default for warranty?

Black shadow at the screen Bottom

I noticed this small shadows at the screen bottom especially at all white screen.
Try to do a screen alignment to see it....I tried 2 HTC sets and it's the same.
The hermes screen is NOT like this...they are perfectly clean !!!
Anyone has noticed this ?
Ya, I noticed this too.
I can only notice it on all white screens. The shadow is uneven and wavey and seems to extend upwards for about 5 pixels.
Sorry no solutions from me... just confirmation.
Me too. Another thing that I noticed is that the screen is fisically slightly too much aligned to the left.

Yep, mine too. I think that they are all like that. I've heard of this issue in another thread as well.
The shadow on mine one isnt that bad, tbh, you have to really pay attention to notice the shadow.
The screen is very slightly aligned too far to the left, but it doesn't really bother me.

[Q] Water under screen - white spots remain

Hi,
weeks ago I have received a phone call during taking a shower, I picked the Trophy, completed the phone call with wet hands and after leaving the bathroom I noticed that water entered the phone; the screen was getting white from the bottom. The phone did not fall into the water, only some amount of water entered the phone (from my wet hands only). After couple of minutes, about one third of the phone's screen (from the bottom) was white. I did not know what to do, but after about an hour I noticed that the white portion of the screen was reducing slowly; it seemed that it is slowly drying. I left the phone until the morning when I noticed that the white portion reduced considerably and then day after day the white portion was smaller, it took about 3-4 days for the majority of white portion to disappear. Well, only the small white spots remained and now they won't go away, it's about three weeks now, they are not getting any smaller, so it seems they will remain.
Could it be that there are only spots on the inner screen (e.g. from shampoo) that should be wiped out manually or is it possible that the screen is broken?
Is it somehow possible to access the inner LCD screen? Do I have to remove the outer screen?
The spots are clearly visible on a gray screen (e.g. Internet Explorer's default tab), in general they are much more visible on the light screens. With dark screens (e.g. black) they are barely noticeable, they look more like a dust and you see them only if you look carefully.
The visibility of the spots is also very affected by the angle at which you look at screen; from some angles they are not seen at all, from some angles they are clearly visible. This is also valid for light screens.
I had no problems with the visibility of the screen when it was white, everything was displayed OK (e.g. I could read text), it was only a bit pale and these white spots now are simply annoying.
Thanks

Same here.
I have the same problem with my nexus 5, was wondering if you found a solution or did the stains go away with time?
I believe its the separation of the glue between the touch screen and the lcd.

display light spot

Hi
yesterday I saw a light spot (that it's visible only with white screen) in the top-right side of the screen, under the power bottom.
it's visible only at high ° of inclination, if I look my tablet directly (90°) it isn't visible
I don't know how it's possible that, has someone info about it?

It's possible that the Digitizer might not be fully contacted at that particular point in the tab. I have seen a couple of posts about this. This is a hardware/manufacture defect more than likely, or something that happened over time and usage. Considering the location near an often used spot, this is probably true.
I would suggest if you can live with it, then just ignore it.
If it really bothers you, then you can remove the back cover of the tablet, and check for loose connection fasteners around the display/digitizer areas. But really, if you have to look really hard at certain angles, in the right light and color, then I would ignore it. Not worth the trouble.

[Q] Viewing Angles?

Hi guys, sorry if this has been posted, tried searching and couldn't find anything.
Anyways, I want to know something about the phones screen and I would like to conduct a little test.
Could you hold your phone in front if your face and turn the phone to your right (as you would if you wanted to show someone the screen full on who was sitting on your right) and look if the screen inherits a blue tint. Repeat this but to the left and see if the screen inherits a yellow tint.
It is seriously noticable on my device and I want to know if it is just me. Thank you.
P.S. I have had my phone for around a week and the bottom 1/3rd still has a slight yellow tinting. Any idea is this fades or is this just a dud LCD?

I have the same tinting effects when I angle the phone, it's noticable but it doesnt really bother me.
This has already been confirmed...mine does it too.
+1 another one here. It is a slight tint though nothing to worry about or notice, unless you are looking for the tint.
The viewing angles on this phone aren't the greatest if that's what you're getting at :/

[Q] HELP! The AMOLED screen is getting dark

Hey what's up!
I have a problem I do not know if it has been asked before (I certainly have searched and have not found anything).
The fact is that since last week has appeared a tiny speck in the upper right corner of the screen and gradually has been extended, as you can see in the picture.

A part of changing the LCD, do you know any solution? I tried the video colors and it seems that instead of improving, it has worsened.
Thanks!
