Looks like a defective screen dude. Take it back.
If that line is there no matter what color and what is on the screen it is defective.
Open dialer and type *#0*# and check the first red green blue buttons.
Is this a screen shot or a pic of the screen using a different camera?

Its a different camera... You can see the bezel and the background on the left side, his finger and the reflections.
Is not related to wallpaper or apps i did restart my phone and off and on back is still there.
As i screen shot my friend cant see it so im using other phone to capture the picture
Plus im facing batterry issues as well 9am my phone was 100% 11am left 55% just whataps,10min song,fb and 10min game!!
Bad screen.. take it back
Anyone else experiencing this??? It looks weird almost like it's a lag or something but it's not. It's like a legit pinkish type tint when scrolling. Am I gonna have to return my device ALREADY?!?! I literally just bought it 4 hrs ago -___-
EDIT: OK so I'm informed this is called "smearing" and that's the perfect word to describe it. Only happens in the settings, looks like the words are lagging behind my scroll and catch up lol. Is there a work around for it or something? Even though there shouldn't have to be but that'd be nice i I didn't hafta go through the process again of getting a new phone a day after I got this lol.
If you mean in the settings, that's normal. That's screen smearing/ghosting. Explanation is in this video here http://youtu.be/C_APG3kLiYs around 13:30.
The pink tint issue is another thing.

Yes, it only appears in the settings that it "smears" as you call it, yeah actually smearing is a way better word to describe it, not a different tint. Is it on every S4 that this is happening, or is it a defect in only a small % of S4's? And is there a workaround for it?
Also, what is the "pink tint issue"?
Thanks!

It's the software. I've heard of the pink tint but haven't read up on it. I heard the smashing affect is cleared up on the new update we might get but that could just be talk.

Yes. Every S4. There is a work around. But it takes away from the screen by messing with the gamma. The pink tint issue is when part of your screen is darker than the other. Like my S4 is dark at the bottom and gets lighter as it goes up like a gradient. Like this picture http://i.imgur.com/9jhVEnr.jpg or this http://i.imgur.com/DhryGwg.png
It's more noticeable on grey screens.

Actually now that I see it. I notice it on every settings menu with a dark interface. Doesn't happen on lighter screens, only the black screens really.

The smearing will only happen in dark settings yes. It has to do with unused pixels. Like the video I posted before explains. If you don't have a pink gradient issue then you're all good. If it does I'd get it exchanged asap before you're stuck with it like me.

Look at a solid dark grey background. If its darker on one side that's bad. I noticed mine when I was texting everytime I pulled the keyboard up the text bubbles changed colors a bit.
Has anyone noticed faint horizontal white lines running across graphic images? I've noticed this most in widgets or picture thumbnails. Tried to take a screenshot but they don't seem to get captured. Very thin lines - like just a pixel or two in width. Sometimes changing screen and coming back makes them disappear. Often if I move the screen by swiping they disappear (even with a very small movement) but then reappear as soon as I let go. Don't think I've noticed on previous smartphones; wasn't sure if this was a byproduct of the 1080p resolution.
Running stock, unrooted.

In certain lighting, I see what looks like a dot matrix all over the screen, but from what I've heard, that's normal. Not sure what exactly that is though...
I can see it the clearest when the screen is off. I think it is part of the screen tech, not the resolution, but I could be wrong

I cant replicate your problem, sounds like you my friend may have bad screen. I would request a replacement at your closest vendor.
And the dot matrix on the screen is part of the screen, essentially it is part of the touch system that you love and cherish!

Unfortunately this "dot matrix" looks hideous and I've never seen it on any phone that I have on that I owned several flagship phones.

I'm sure you can if you hold them a certain way in the light, you will notice it. I know on my Bionic it is visible but can only be seen if held the right way in the light with the screen off.
htc incredible was a flagship phone and had it.

Hmm... might check on that. Got the phone at Best Buy - not sure how good they are about replacements. Problem is, the issue is kind of fleeting. What I mean is these lines are not static. Even when I see them it looks like there is a touch of flashing going on, and the slightest screen swipe makes them go away. Sometimes they stay gone and sometimes they come right back. I wish I could do a screen capture - maybe I will have to just photo edit some lines to illustrate what I see

no but really, the inc was an awesome flagship ;D
and at the time i think HTC was one of the few phones that did the dots still..i remember the moto x didn't have them. i don't even know what the point of them is
I can see them on mine, but only in certain light and at certain angles and when off. I never see them when using it.
Finally got around to taking a picture of this with a separate camera. This is the weirdest issue! I can't capture it with a screenshot. It only happens on some images, and even those sometimes the lines disappear if I rotate the display. I tried doing a factory reset but that didn't help. Doesn't seem to be a hardware issue because I don't see it anywhere else except certain images (probably like 5 - 10% of them). Not app related - I've seen this happen in many apps that have images. This attachment was done in the Play Store app, on an app preview. Also seen it on Feedly, Android Central, Gallery, etc. Can't figure out what is going on!

I saw these for the first time today with the screen off in a certain light. They are vertical lines/dots though.

It is the digitizer. It is what registers your touch

Did you ever find a solution to this?
I'm seeing the exact same lines after having a broken screen replaced.
me too, on my recently bought ebay G2 (VS980) - i think screen and digitizer are fine. i think it has something to do with the graphic card or rastering memory as it only happens when there is a high computational demand on display apparently? happened with two separate firmwares - one stock and one non-stock - so clearly it is not a software issue (i guess)
I'm pretty sure it's the screen. I had my screen replaced again and the issue is completely solved.
Anybody else have this odd screen glitch anywhere on their display. Its like half a second white flash once in a while when I'm on Tapatalk, or the Amazon app or other apps.
Maybe its a bad display of my G4 or a 5.1 bug?
Edit....
I've since replaced my G4 with another new one with zero issues.
Should of added more to the poll, but my G4 is with TMO USA. Maybe the glitch is carrier independent.
Ever figure out the cause? I'm debating returning the phone
I saw this today on an H815 unlocked model on display at Best Buy. Only saw it when looking at a particular photo with a bunch of horizontal lines on it.

I think a software update should fix this or apps updated to support LP 5.1. I've only seen the glitch when I'm using an app, never on home page, or dialer, etc.
Hopefully its not a display defect.

Odd...
Nothing as described on my TMO variant.
could it be because the phone is in game mode which is a battery saving mode.
Here's the image I saw this problem on yesterday. Download it to your device, open it in the LG gallery app, and in portrait orientation, double tap the image to zoom in a bit. I saw the flickering on the stairs in the picture.

Nope.. mine seems fine..
Am I supposed to scroll around really quickly while zoomed in or something?
Just picked up my white Verizon g4 last night, haven't noticed this problem
Today on an international version, while using internet app to read this site, the screen gently faded really white, then a few seconds later faded back to normal again. It continued like this for prob 30 seconds. Leaving the app didn't help, but getting some black colour on the screen stopped it. No idea why it was happening... Something iffy with the display and maybe power saving though. Nervy now!

No, it happens while you are not moving the image or touching the screen at all. Might not work with that exact image I linked because the image on the device, while the same picture, was at a higher resolution I believe.
edit: I'll go back to the Best Buy today and film the issue so people can see what we're talking about.
Well only 3 people with this glitch? Maybe we have a defective display! I have 14 days to exchange it for another new one.
If your having this problem, please do the poll. Thanks

I suspect all have it, but it's hard to trigger. After I get a video of it at Best Buy, I plan to go around to some other stores like AT&T and see if the demo units there also have it.
Well crap. It was less noticeable on the G4 at Best Buy today. I could just barely see the flickering with my eyes, and it was impossible to capture on camera, at least without a tripod.

But you did see the flicker. I've noticed it could be a super fast flicker barily noticilbe to a 2 second square section looking like a static tv like on the movie poltergeist.
Yeah it's really quick, too quick to get a screenshot. It's mainly on scrollable apps. Just a thought, anyone using nova launcher? Maybe it's an artifact
TMO G4 here and I get a screen glitch occasionally. I can't consistently recreate it. It happens for a split second. The screen static affects about a quarter of the screen.

mine does that 2 could it be the kernel needs to be optimized a little better. Its like its underclocked to far or something. When I try to underclock and undervolt my nexus 6 i get similar issues. i bet they will be able to fix it with a kernel update im gonna go ahead and exchange it out
My personal G4 arrived yesterday and so far, after using it for about 7 hours screen time, I have not seen this issue. I know what the issue looks like too because I saw it clearly on a model at Best Buy. So maybe it is a defect in some models? Or maybe it only affects some firmware, because I doubt the Best Buy model is running the same firmware as mine, which is from Asia.
Hi all
Don't know if anyone has this problem but I've noticed that when using white background i can see some of my apps burned into the screen I've taken a picture if you look closely you can just make out some of them. What do you think i need to do?

You can't show burn-in by posting a screenshot
It's a problem with the screen itself and not the software.
What am I supposed to find on that screenshot?

It´s physically impossible to show burn in on a screenshot. A screenshot shows the picture the software is rendering, this is not always what is shown on your screen. You will have to take a picture of your phone with a second device.
Nevertheless, if there really is burn in on your phone, you can simply send it back to Samsung and you will get a new one.
