[Q] Do I have S4 Smearing problem? (dark grey pixels) - pictures - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I made so research on google and xda, I want to be sure before contacting the seller.
I bought S4 amoled screen from a ebay seller, twice.On my second screen I bought I have a greenish filter all over the screen when dark scene and low brightness.
The dark grey color appear like 8bit big pixels.
I found the app screen adjuster, but it only correct some dark scene, not all, and it doesn't remove the greenish filter.
On bright scenes, the screen is OK.
Any permanent solution , or I should contact the seller?

It looks like the screen is not connected properly, or is damaged or incompatible. Please double-check the connectors are clean and properly fitted.
I've seen issues like this before when replacing laptop screens.
I would contact your seller for a replacement if nothing appears to be wrong with your connections.

Screen fading white. Is it my LCD? Flex cable? Other?

My display is progressively showing a mostly white, "washed out" display. It goes from completely normal to the washed out screen you can see in the attached pictures. (two "washed out" screens, followed by two normal) It happens much more frequently in portrait mode. When it first started happening, if I would open the keyboard just a little bit, the "white" would go away and the display would be nice and bright like it should be. At the time, it made me suspect the flex cable, so I disassembled the Hermes and made sure all connections are tight. That did not fix it and it is getting worse. Applying pressure to certain parts of the outside of the device can sometimes cause this to happen, other times it's completely random. Can anyone confirm if it is the LCD or flex cable? I don't mind replacing a part if I can be sure of the problem, but I don't want to waste my time and money if I can't be SURE it will fix the problem.
NO, I can not send it back to AT&T for warranty repair.

Dude, there are a bunch of threads here, on the google support forum and articles on the net re the purple tint problem.
HTC reps told me it was a software issue that will be fixed when an update is released soon. Apparently other people have been told it's a hardware issue and to get the phone replaced.
Try putting your phone on maximum brightness, that helps but there will still be a slight nagging color problem - it still will look 'off' somehow.
My little sister's favorite color is purple, grapes are purple, Barney is purple, but a $600 'superphone'? What a joke.
I also think it's a hardware problem, where are the others topic? thank you
...my att banded n1 looks like your hero in the above pictures...

Hello, I have searched google and this forum for now 1 hour and I couldn't find any user made pictures (with different angle and especially the front of the phone) of the white carbon fiber phantom skinz for vibrant or galaxy S i9000.
Can someone help me out ?
Thanks a lot.

I was about to get it yesterday but I wasn't sure it will look good on the front. would be nice to see a front pic
Yea I was wondering how does the white cover the chrome bezel on the front... On the black one its quite nice and covers it partly and as the chrome is itself darkish, it blends well with the black carbon cover.
But dark chrome on white ??? I'm doubtfull.
Well at worst you can just not install the strips for the front but meh... If that thing falls the chrome bezel will be damaged for sure then.
That's why we desperatly need a front picture :>
little up ^^

[Q] Black spots on nook color screen

today when I powered on my nook color I noticed it has big black two spots and some distorted lines. Here is the image:

It also looks like the screen cracked (white aslant line), though I have to say the front glass is perfectly fine (not even a scratch). I haven't used it for about a week and I don't remember having it dropped during that time. Does anyone know what is it? Is it even possible to have broken LCD with front glass being untouched?
I'm in Europe right now but I have valid warranty - does anyone know if there is any B&S support here or I have to send it to my family in US?
Wow looks pretty ****ed up.
Wish I could tell you whats wrong but to tell the truth, the best thing I could give you is a guess...

Yup. You're screen is pooched. You can try and find a 3rd party screen replacement overseas, but your best bet is to send it back to the states and see if you can get it repaired or replaced under warranty.

Burn in already? (Screen included)

So guys I'm kinda worried, I just got an s8 today and check this picture from contacts:
https://ibb.co/nLKobQ
As you see, the most left part (that is usually all black on most applications) is darker than the rest. Is your s8 like this as well or just mine? Not sure if its supposed to be like this or I should have it replaced. Thanks!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It's supposed to be that way. You can choose what color you want the navigation bar to be and the default is off-white.

Thanks! Was gettin worried...
That's normal though. As tharghan mentioned the navigation bar is off-white by default (which is sort of like a VERY light gray) and this helps prevent burn-in.
It's most likely not going to become an issue as soon as on other phones like the 6P and Pixel since the navigation bar and buttons consistently change color when you switch apps. If you notice the navigation buttons are white on the home screen but they turn dark gray once you go into an app.
