noticed today that on dark colors a thin gray border will appear all around the screen. it is quite annoying....and affects anything displayed on the atrix...well mine at least...and at least a few others too im sure...
i first noticed it with the menu buttons on opera mobile...thought it wad a design element but rather it is a display limitation.
attached is a darkish background downloaded from google images. view and zoom the picture to fill the entire screen. on my atrix the gray border is as clear as day...how bout for you guys?
edit: this isnt backlight bleed nor qhd compatibility issues...it is an actual thin gray line that appears on the screen.
Nope. Just you.
Sent from the coolest voided warranty phone ever.
thats because the atrix screen is not an led screen, it is a tft screen. the atrix screen illuminates from the edges around the screen while led screens such as amoleds from samsung illuminated from small diodes behind the screen. its brighter around the edges because it is being lit up from the sides.

it isnt backlight bleed...it is an actual thin gray line that goes around the entire screen...but it only appears when theres a darkish color present at that location. when the background is pure 100pct black it doesnt show up though.
on my phone it is very apparent when viewing the attachment pic in the op and zooming in so that it fills the screen.
Well I'm glad to hear it's not just me. And yes, it's very noticeable and really distracting when I'm watching a video.

Try again.
I had the same issue with my Atrix. Went to an AT&T device support center and they swapped it out with a brand new Atrix and the new device does not have this issue. It seems the banding/border issue is affecting a small number of those devices.
I didn't have banding initially, but over time the problem seemed to become more apparent, especially after the gingerbread OTA.

how long did you own the atrix before you swapped it out? just wondering since this atrix is about half a year old now...
I just came here to ask about this... I've had my atrix for about 2 days and this is quite distracting.
I probably need to lock bootloader and unroot if I want to get a new phone right?
Here's a quick shot of it.
i just can see this bandings on ur photo with full brightness!
its not important! take it easy!
i think its because of LCD!

yes! that's the problem exactly...should spread that pic around so people are aware. look at the ghostly rectangle that is created...can see it clearly even on normal brightness. maybe you can find a non-affected atrix like datumdei did...
I would relate it to the gingerbread update. I didn't have it before in Froyo and I tried everything to replicate it, now I can also see it. They must've tune the colors, saturation and other settings because now I don't see the gradient banding in the calculator app and even the XDA app isn't that obvious anymore.

Hey guys, i just got my Atrix yesterday and only notice this when the screen is grey. At first I thought it was screen burn-in from a static image, but after finding this page I feel better knowing its not just me.
Are there any other web pages that you have found related to this issue?
Also, could the android market update have caused this?
If you want to test to see if your phone is doing this, downlod dead pixel test from the android market and tap the screen until it turns grey.
I can finally leave limbo and get it in hand tomorrow.
And I heard so many "issues" about the phone,
so before I unlock bootloader and flash thing.
I wanna check the phone completely before risking the warranty
So what is the common "issues" right now?
What I know is:
1. Phone rattle
2. Yellow tint / Too warm display / Dead pixels
3. Buzzing sound
and what else?
Thanks
Appearantly "issue" number 2 (Yellow Tint) is only experienced if you update (OTA) once you receive your nexus. If you don't update you won't experience the yellow tint "issue".
A static noise when in a call, if the phone is super close to your ear you can hear it.

It went from glue to software?
Hmmm, some people complain about the bottom of their device creaking. Like where the screws/usb port/microphone are. Mine does, but its only if I push on it. Holding it normally, there is no issue.

That doesn't even make sense.. I guess they changed the color calibrations in the OTA? Well whatever I just hope and pray that my nexus 4 doesn't have any of these issues.
Don't worry about the color too much. If it could be changed by an OTA then devs will come up with the perfect colors. Think Galaxy Nexus.
There is a small rattle around the camera area if you shake it. Honestly I don't find that a problem since I'm not shaking it constantly.
The buzzing in the earphone/headphone is a bigger problem but not annoying to me. I can't hear it when in calls or listening to music. It's only very pronounced when there is no sound coming out.
I still hope Google itself can have a better tune in the color temp.
About the yellow tint (dots), is it common or just a rare case?
Most likely a rare case, my phone currently has no issues with yellow spots on the screen
what about bleeding sceen i seen 2 spot on top of the screen when in dark room just reminded me of LG G2X.

This is software, kernels are always able to adjust the color balancing and saturation etc once more custom kernels come out this problem will be addressed/fixed.

You'll get that with any LCD really... if it's really bad you might want to see if they'll exchange it, otherwise there's a chance it will be worse if you get it replaced.

Ya, i notice the whiter color in the second I turned it on.
I am okay with it. That's why I put my SP on it.
But the yellow spot is not...
So I just called for a replacement.
Dang...need to get one SP again
Another thing ( quite obvious ) are admittedly rare [ saw one user in reddit mentioning this] dust under the screen or noticeable dead pixels .
Also check to make sure there are no "bulges" around the sides of the phone where the black backing meets the front bezel. I have a small bulge near the bottom right side of the phone that looks like a little clip failed to engage. I have tried pushing it in to sit flush but it does nothing. I wasn't going to do anything about it since it's not that big of a deal but I called Play support and told the rep the issue. He said he has had a few reports of this problem and recommended an RMA. So I have a new one on the way.
Check this thread for pics of it happening to another guy:

I received my replacement G2 today and while holding it side-by-side with my original G2, I noticed the whites on the new one aren't quite as vibrant. I then met up with a friend who also has a G2 and put all three phones side-by-side. Her phone has the same less vibrant whites as mine did. Neither new device nor my new one had the bright, vibrant whites of my original G2. Is something wrong with the two displays that aren't quite as vibrant, or perhaps my original G2 had something up with its display? It would be helpful if someone could shed some light onto the issue! You can see my old device and new device in the photo below. Unfortunately the photograph doesn't convey the difference as strongly as seeing the devices in person. Yes, both phones have identical display/brightness settings.
I'm curious why the left one looks smaller and has no lg logo?

The right one might look bigger because it's in a case.
I also had the same issue. I prefer the whiter white display but the new replacement I got also was not as white. I think I'll be returning both. Not sure if I should try another replacement or just give up.

No squeaks at all with mine. The original was starting to show color bleed/slight yellow screen discoloration on the left edge. It is very, very minor. I've decided to keep my original phone and send the replacement back.
I have exactly same problem my fathers g2 to is much more brighter then mine. And whites are more clear. Is there anyway to fix it?
Hello,
This is my first topic here, I have just bought a new S4, and the screen seems to have lines in it, when it is on a grey/dark screen, and is discolored on the bottom half.
Anyway, Please could you go into Settings > More > about device > software update. Now if you go in the dark, do you see discoloured patches on the bottom of the screen? (which are lighter than the rest). Please can you tell me which mode your screen is on, as then I can see if I can remove the problem by changing modes.
Also, It seems like when my screen is grey, there are lines all over the bottom half, that are slightly lighter than the rest of the screen.
Would you class this as a fault, as you can only see it in the dark, but I do use my phone in the dark a lot...
Do you think it is worth it to return it?
Also, if it is, do you think I should take it to the Samsung Service Center (I have full warranty, and Knox 0x0) or just return it to the seller
Thanks for any replies, I would be so greatful to anyone who helps
PS. it is not just in settings, it happens in any app that I use...
Well, first of all AMOLED technology isn't perfect and this is well known.
Most of users have a purple /pinkish tint on the bottom of the screen or top.
On mine aswell the bottom part of the screen is more pinkish or something like that, can be seem only on grey backgrounds bot i got used to it and doesn't bother me. Also i noticed when i keep brightness on very low level on white backgrounds like in play store i can see 1 or 2 slightly lighter horizontal lines.
To be honest doesn't bother me, all s4's i checked they all have some screen issues, because is AMOLED.
I have the same. That just something you have to live with.

If they are visible even on high brightness then is a problem.
So if you can clearly see them on maximum brightness, then you can go and ask for a replacement

Bad news. Seems like these lines and discoluoration also happens on full brightness. Looks like I need a repair. I'll try and post some photos tomorrow...
Edit: I bought it on eBay. Should I open a case, or should I take it to a Samsung service Centre as there is one close to Me?
I have the same lines, mostly visible on gray backgrounds. I can really see it on the weatherbug load screen. The one my eye sees the most is about 25% up the screen from the bottom, but when I stare for a while I can see a lot more. From what I've read, this is normal.
I dont get a full equal black screen either.Its like light is trying to get through in the bottom half of screen.Its more noticeable on lower brightness.
Never noticed it before....

You're right, the S3 screen was fine.

Only advantage is 1080p, which for a phone is pointless (again, my opinion)

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I have absolutely no strange lines or differences in colour on any given background.
I only got mine a week ago though.
I'm sure you will mate, or you just haven't noticed it yet
I've had 7 different S4s and EVERY SINGLE ONE had banding in greys.

You are right I also had another s4 and the same thing. Probably if you go to the store and try the phones there all of them will have this. At first look with high brightness on it is not obvious but after looking carefully you will notice it.
Anyone else got an LG G4 that has bad viewing angles? It turns yellow tint if I pretty much tilt it at all
No yellow tint at all here... maybe your unit is defective? I'd say exchange it.
Yeah was going to go look at a demo in the store and see how it looks. I mean I know Samsung screens are better than most but compared to my note 4 this screen kooks like a tns panel from a 2004 laptop

You sure they didn't send you a G3 which was notorious for yellow tint? I couldn't stand that when I had the G3. Now that I have the G4, that yellow tint is gone. Though I still think the best display is on my G2.

Note 4
I see a polarized-like tint when I tilt the phone, but I don't see yellow. I still have the factory screen protector on though, so not sure what the naked screen looks like yet. I'll check it out when the real screen protector comes in.
Same here
I have the same problem. Went to LG G4 from Samsung Note 4. The viewing angle is nowhere close to Galaxy Note 4 or S6. It's disappointing, because otherwise LG G4 is an amazing phone.
Yeah, my T-Mobile H811 looks funny when tilted, I get a very slight yellow hue at the bottom but if I tilt it back to straight it goes away. I had issues like this with pretty much every LCD display I've ever seen, even my Nexus 9 does it, it's just the way LCD panels are, which is why I prefer AMOLED.
The issue of yellow tint is directly related to what kind of ambient lighting you're surrounded by. It's a lot more visible outdoors in daylight (cloudy day) than late at night with incandescent lighting. It's not visible at all in fluorescent lighting. I'm just ignoring it because it's otherwise a great phone.
Screen looked like that when I bought a cheap screen protector. I spent 30 bucks on good one and no horrible screen
