Hey guys. Its been a while now i'm using this phone. I gotta admit i give a hard time on the phone's battery (charging cycle that is, i dnt let it fully charge and all). But I can't avoid that.
Anyways. I have this issue:
When a GRAY background is displayed on the phone, (like on a white webpage, when the keyboard is opened) i notice these VERTICAL BANDINGS/GRADIENTS on the screen
They appear on the left and the right sides (1 cm or so from the end of the display).
I also notice the horizontal banding/gradient half a centimeter below the status bar but its REALLLLYYY subtle.
My prediction?
Remember i said i give my battery a hard time? Well to be its the battery pushing the display from the back (probably swelled the poor guy lol) and giving this.
Why do i think this?
Well because
The banding lies EXACTLY where the left and right edges of the battery might probably be
IMPORTANT ASWELL: When i put a pressure on the display, the glass PUSHES the display (and creates those lovely watery ripples) ON THE SAME EDGES WHERE THE BANDING EXISTS.
Extra info: It might be a backlit problem, since its not present at any brightness level on any colour. Red blue green orange pink black purple, even gray(the banding is where the backlit dims)
So yeah thanks for reading it im sure u'll do something abt this.
I cant seem to take it in any camera these defect (i have no DSLR lulz). :3
Buy a new battery and change it before it explodes.

There seems to be an issue with the super amoled screen. Its not a biggy as of yet. It seems if you have something on the screen for long periods of time it will wear the pixels out. My example....if you go on a white screen in landscape, the look where the status bar usually is (where it says samssamsun) you can see a fainted image of the status bar and a collage of times, battery and signal (i assume from always changing). U cant really see it and sometimes i wish i couldnt. Small flaws like this upset me. My phone isnt rooted (no screen shots) if you have a vibrant or galaxy s. Could you text and see if this is a product wide issue. Thank you for reading please leave comments.
Don't see that on my phone?
uhh, a screen shot wouldnt show burned out or worn out pixels dude.
So I ran the flashlight application, held up the screen, tried looking at different angles, and couldn't find one anomaly.
You should trade it in for a new one.
did the same thing with the flashlight app, nothing shows up. this dude is on crack.

Maybe he just has a lemon?
I can attest to this. I see it after just booting up and going from the lock screen to the desktop. I can see the faint outline of the white numbers from the time on the lockscreen on my GenieWidget on my desktop at the top of my homescreen(widget has grey background). It seems to dissappear though.
I have some when using color flashlight I see marks where the time is. It is very light but I see it. Tmobile is replacing it now. Lol

Are someone has same issue? and how to fix it? thank you very much.

The best I could to to check mine was to open up my email. The whole screen is white. I did not see anything except white along the edge.

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.
Hey guys,
hopefully the right forum to ask this kind of question.
Got my Note 4 last week to replace my old Nexus 5. Frist impressions are quite good and the Note is just the phone I want to keep.
After a few days I noticed something when the keyboard is openend. On the left side of the display (see the attached picture) there is a light (and really really light) screen bleed into red. If the Display shows straight white I can't see it clearly. But every time the color is greyish oder dark blue (the keyboard styles of the AOSP Keyboard are perfect for this) you can see the color drift.
So sometimes I barely notice it, and somethimes I am going crazy
Bin since "What has been seen, can never be unseen" it starts to bug me more every time I notice it..
I dont think that I can replace the phone (like amazon would - damn me, I should have buyed it there), I need some kind of fix (eye replacement?).
Is there any chance of adjusting the display settings only partially on the display? (I really don't think so - but desperate times need desperate questions )
The other thing would be: I tried using the App Display Adjuster an changed the white into a very cold one (mainly by increasing green und blue) - does anyone know what kind of battery drainage this app causes?
Thanks from munich!

Edit: I tried to photograph the bleed, but it's that small that most monitors (just 3 out of 5 - all of which have a "warmer" display white point show it perfectly.) won't show my bleed (which leads to the conclusion: I AM crazy).
Hello all,
After my phone got repaired 2 times for the same reason i want to know if other people experience this issue too?? It is most noticeable on black/blue screens.. Turns red/yellowish.. Now i have to send my phone for a third repair... Would it also be possible to just receive my money back?
Seems like the screen of this device is really really bad..
What turns red/yellowish? I am having my phone repaired right now cause I do see a reddish blurry dot on the screen when viewing video or black backgrounds.
Screen is on multiple spots discoloured on darker colours like black or blue. On those spots the colour is yellow/red where it should be the right colour.
I got that too, today, it weirded me out. The screen went full yellow tinted, and turning the screen off and on didn't do anything. So I restarted, but everything is fine now. But what about later ? Will it appear again ?
Hello,
When I checked my phone today, I noticed that on left and right side of the screen, backlight seems to be different than on the rest. This causes screen to have different colour on the borders, like a little bit brighter. Is this a common problem? Anybody else had this issue? Any way to fix this, or should I replace the whole panel?
Mine has screen bleed as well. And every P8 that i saw had an amount of light bleed. So the chance to get a new screen with same screen bleed is high..
Mine has a little in the bottom left corner, unnoticable though unless I install the Backlight Bleed Test app & run it.
I was going to ask you to post a screenshot to see how much BLB there is on yours (would've posted mine too), but it doesn't show up in screenshots.
