Has anyone run into this issue with their g2 screen? The lower left corner (when holding the phone in portrait) has a blue tint to the whites. The store model in the verizon store showed the same behavior.
EDIT: Going to exchange it tomorrow in the store, so I'll post if this issue persists or if it the result of a bad batch.

thank you very much.
please try in LCD Test(*#0*# in Diagnostic Mode) select RED you will see a white border but on my device left-border is green (other sides are OK).
It's very hard to be absolutely sure on red, but on blue and green the edges are definitely all white.

I loaded your JPG onto my Focus and the left side is green. The left side is always green, but the right side and even the top and bottom can also appear green if you hold the phone at certain angles. The green can also appear purple at extreme angles.
Is this a manufacturing flaw, or just a characteristic of AMOLED screens? Could it be some sort of back-lighting source that's located along the left edge that's causing the green tint?
I loaded the picture after downloading it and then attaching it to an email.
It does have a strange tint on the left side.
I then created my own version of the image. I started with a 480 x 800 blank image in Photoshop. I filled the entire image with black at 100% opaque.
Then I stroked the outer edge with 1 pixel of white. I repeated this using 2 pixels and then 3 pixels. As you can see, it is still visible at 3 pixels, but it is starting to turn white. I think we are seeing a consistent result that means the AMOLED screens have a slight design problem that is not considered to be worth holding back this technology from the market. I know I like the display and this is minor.
hello everyone
I have an issue with my i9500 screen.
I installed Display Tester app from Play Store. I run the Defective Pixel Detection test.
In red, green, and blue color, it doesn't have any problem (or it's just my eyes). But, in white color and grey, there's kind of darkish red tint with gradation in upper side of screen. So basically the screen appear brighter in the bottom but darker in upper side. I've tried turning off auto and maximize the brightness, but the problem is still there.
It's very noticeable too in Viewing Angle test.
So anyone have this issue? and (perhaps) the fix?
mine is running on latest OTA update (XUAMDK baseband and XXUAME1 build number)

I've had 2 devices with this issue, I'm pretty sure is a hardware problem so I don't think an update will fix it. You should go for a replacement.
I have the same problem but in the left side of the screen it has yellow tint while in the right side it has pink. I took it to samsung customer service today, they told me we will call you once we take a good look at it.
Same issue with mine
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2341740
mine is darker with a pinkish tint on the top half.
It is a hardware problem. Hopefully my replacement phone does not have the problem.
I suspected that my tab 4 7.0 had some backlight bleeding and I just confirmed it using the "Backlight Bleed Test" app from the Play Store.
For those who want to test their own units, simply download and run that app. It will display a black background and also boost the brightness level to 100%. If you do this in a dark room then you may see the white backlight of your tablet shining through some of the edges or corners of your unit. If you do see this, then your tablet has backlight bleed.
When I testedTab 4 7.0, I found some bleeding on the bottom left corner. (I tried taking a picture of it but couldn't get the lighting right). In my case the backlight bleed is not too severe, but it bothers me to know that it's there in the first place. I'm wondering if all our units have this issue, or if some are better than others...
So...does your Tab 4 7.0 have any backlight bleed? If so, how bad is it?
Problem caused by samsung book cover!
I found out the problem caused by the samsung book cover. After I took out the tablet from the case the discoloration disappeared.
So now the question is, if is it a normal if you push a bit the bottom of the tablet, there is a severve discoloration (it' s easy to see on black background and higher brightness).Anybody else got this with tab 4 7.0? I don't now if is it a individual problem or not...
So I recently noticed a thick but light band running vertically through the center of my screen
Is this normal for this phone? It's only visible on dark gray backgrounds and its still so light you can hardly see it, but it is noticeably there.
I don't want to rma for a refurb and I can live with it but I don't want this to be the sort of issue that gets worse with time.
Hi folks,
I dropped my G5+ (XT1687) the other day and cracked the screen. I ordered a SRJTEK replacement from Amazon, but after installation the new screen can't display colors properly. Instead of RGB it's more like "weak purple, weak green, gray" as shown in this picture from my housemate's phone. The picture shows the colors faithfully as on this replacement LCD. I've tried a factory reset and some display calibration apps, as well as the system UI tuner and the developer color-blindness options. Any app with color sliders shows the weird red, green and gray instead of normal RGB.
Has anyone seen anything like this before? I'm assuming it's defective, but not sure if I should ask for a replacement or a refund.

Try connect the wire again of screen, if it doesn't work the replace it with new one.
Colors should be accurate if you installed it correctly. If you bent the digitizer in any way it might do that. Give it another try by gently pulling out the digitizer and putting it back in (use tweezers, NOT your hand to prevent short out). If that doesn't fix it then issue a return to the company for your money back.
