Nexus 7 2012 - Screen is not level?!

Hi Guys
So I was looking at my tab during a lecture and for some reason I noticed something odd. I looked closer and it seemed to me as if the lines on the screen, which we were supposed to be straight...weren't so straight after all :silly:. At first I thought it as my imagination or that my sinus was affecting my sight...but it turns out I was right. My Nexus 7 screen is just about a millimetre off and now that I'm conscious of it, everything feels off. I even had @MattDN93 confirm it.:highfive:
I scanned my actual device to show anyone who's interested. (I didn't trust myself with the right camera angles to capture the problem)
What should I do about this? Would this count as a hardware defect for me to claim the warranty?

Wow, thanks...... Now you've convinced my brain that mine is crooked too. :|
Totally off topic but why does scanning a color screen produce a black and white image?

Perhaps because the scanner was set to scan in grayscale mode?

No that's not it. I just tried with a handheld scanning wand on my computer monitor and got a b&w image also. It was set in color mode.

Well a scanner shines white light at the pixels maybe they reflect white back if they're on with any colour and black if off?

Those who have S7s already, any hardware quirks/flaws to look out for?

My S7 Edge is coming tomorrow and I'm always paranoid about things like stuck pixels, dead pixels etc. Have any of you noticed anything that would make you want to exchange for another device?

Yeah. My S7 has way too many pixels. [emoji23]

got my s7 last wednesday and i absolutely love it!
no dead pixels, vibrator is strong, buttons work well and are responsive, speaker sounds fine, and the glass front/back are perfectly clear, not a scratch on it. And the Titanium Silver color is beautiful! I really don't want to put a case on it!!
Samsung has never let me down in terms of hardware flaws out-of-the-box.

No issues yet. Only quirk is installing apps. I Cannot find the option to disable "allow Google to regularly scan".

I dont know, maybe the glue or any protection more than normal, see this vídeo bellow, 3:38 second and you will see, all s7 edge have a green tone when have in a white image, for me it's annoying and is why I won't buy that model, I love the edge but this feature/annoying thing for me it's impossible, I constantly see and see the problem.

New AOD update.

Just woke up to my AOD being different. I used the large hour with the blue minute and that option is now gone. Is this the version from the note 7?

It is similar to that of the Note 7 but you won't get all the notifications yet. I'm really waiting for the Note 7 features to be on the S7 Edge since this is their only flagship now along with the S7.

It now shows music track info! Works with Google Music, others have said Spotify as well. This is a great unexpected update.

Yeah this update is from the note 7.... But samsung won't just give us all.. There must be something less..!! No notification for third party apps... Why is that Sammy :3

This may be a foolish question but when did you get that version? Mine says latest at 1.3.14 @robogoflow

I woke up Friday morning to it automatically updated. I believe you can go to the Samsung app store and manually update it there

Ya hopefully the quick notifications access like note 7 comes through i miss that. This is a great update though

Can anyone post the apk for this. I have been trying to download the update and cant wont have wifi for the next few weeks either.

It doesn't show any of the notifications, I've even cleared cache and Badge Provider cache, still can't get my notifications to show, uninstalled the update, everything works fine.

P9 Lite Light Bleed

Hello guys, i'm currently having a light bleed issue on my p9 lite. I sent it to service but they said it's normal for these models. Anyone else having the same problem? Thanks

To fix that, buy a new LCD.

Is looking at a full black screen in a dark room at high brightness something you do regularly OP?
Sent from my F8331 using Tapatalk

did you RMA'd it?

it looks like white color on the edge right?
i have it too because my phone has bent itself when he was in my back pocket :/

Every IPS device I have - two phones (one a P9 Lite), two tablets, one Dell monitor - has some degree of light bleed at the edges. It's the nature of IPS. As LadFromWales85 says, it's only really going to be a problem if you stare at a black image in a dark room... If you don't do that, it's going to be much less of an issue. Having said that, I did have a very cheap tablet that had awful light bleed at the bottom that was always visible, was like a gradient effect!
Really if you want to guarantee no light bleed, AMOLED is the way to go. But then you might start worrying about burn-in...
The bottom line is that no good will come of obsessing about things like this. Light bleed is normal with IPS and that photo is far from bad.

I have the same "problem" but is normal for the IPS panels.
Just enjoy your device
My device is HUAWEI P9 LITE VNS-L23
GOD BLESS YOU

Mine was more blue and I had to tone blue down.

Nope perfect for me

Unbranded EU S8 - no red screen issues whatsoever.

Yes I have it round edges just hole update fixes it

Compared to my old s7e, the s8's whites looked a bit pinkish at first sight....BUT at the same time the reds are pure red (ral 3000). OMG these reds.... The old s7e shows an almost orange red put side by side (ral 3020). I tend to like more the punchy pure reds of the s8. It looks more accurate. I toned down the red in settings and now the white is almost pure white and looks awesome. For me this is the sweet spot. In my case the red tint is a non issue

Not sure, don't think so. Top picture is basic colour profile, second adaptive. The basic profile (and cinema and photo), the white point seems more of a yellow hue. I've made it bluer through adaptive as per the second photo, but not sure if the warmer tone is correct for the other profiles? First OLED display for a while. Can't really see any red tinge.

This pool really had me scared, i think ill wait with the purchase.

I can't certainly say I don't have it but I am not sure as whites look very different in different angles on amoled screens

Nope nothing at all
