Display brighter top and bottom on black background - Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers

Hello. I just received my pixel 4 and have noticed that on a black solid wallpaper or background there appears to be what looks like light bleeding at the top and bottom of the screen. It's yellowish in colour and about 1/2 cm. I can only assume my screen is faulty but I just wanted to ask if anyone else has had this issue? I've tried to take some pictures of the issue and will attach to this post.
Cheers.

The status bar has a gradient color so it should show light at the top. The navbar has one too but more subdued. Hard to see in a screenshot. Yours does look like more than just a gradient however.

Yeah it's a yellowish green colour too which doesn't seem normal. I'm going to send it back. Thanks for your reply.

Anyone know how to enhance the display colors on the Mogul?

I want to enance the color display on my Mogul. For example, I have a theme that has black bars at the top and bottom and my Mogul displays them as grey and not black. There has to be a way to fix this. Can anyone help? I attached the theme that is black at the top and maroon at the bottom.
I don't know if this helps, but here's a all black theme that has black top and bottom bars.

Thanks for the theme. Both bars and background are black. Scroll bar and the color when selecting an icon are grey.
Something else interesting:
When I select the default WM6.1 green theme, the top bar is a dark green. WhenI switch themes and go back to the 6.1 theme, it is a light green and will no longer go back to the dark green. Just another example..
One thing that is annoying, since I also use an all black theme, is that the window displayed when you hit a key while all keys are locked.. it is still grey and it says press cancel then unlock. That screen is still a gradius grey and white, when I'd much preffer it to be black and white.
I know what you mean! Im glad im not the only one with the problem. You are having the same problem I am having. I wish here was a solution to this. The black theme was black at first but if you change the theme and go back to it, its grey.. AHHH! Let me know if you kind a solution to the problem..

Green Line (White Theme)

Just curious, when you switch to the light theme.
Do any of you have a really thin green line on the left hand side?
It only shows when displaying white on my handset. Curious if this is just SAMOLED, or my phone?
If you're talking about the very far left of the screen, I seem to have a faint green line there too when the white theme is enabled.
I seem to have an issue with my screen if I change to a dark background and then enter the accent colour selector the background there is a grey screen. Whenever my phone is showing a grey screen I see a dark ring on the right hand side towards the top of the screen. It looks like my screen has ringworm. It only happens on grey screens though.
I've got the green line if i put on the white theme.. quite noticeable actually!
lucky i use the dark theme
but the green line is there whenever that portion of the screen is white.
Not sure about the grey screens (don't have grey)

The background of the "accent colour" menu is grey, there isn't actually a grey option.

It's a "feature" of SAMOLED screens, due to the subpixel counts the left border has a green line and the right border has a faint blue one, or at least it does on the Galaxy S.

[Q] changing the color of the phone, contacts, and messaging screens

I just recently got my Note 3 last week through At&t and I'm highly satisfied. I have a question that I have not found the answer to yet. The phone, contacts, and message screens are predominantly white with black font. I kind of have a hard time with this due to my bad eyes. I can see better with a black background with white font. Is there a way to change these screens to black? I have watched some YouTube videos and see people with black backgrounds And White font in these screens. Help please.

i have a n9005 branded voda phone.
its overall colour re dailer, messages ,contacts is standard a darkish blue /black with white letters.
so it seems it a carrier thing .?( your colour white with black font or did you by accident enable a wrong settings ?)
one thing, have you tried to go.....settings /device/accessibility then scroll down to negative colours (reverse the colour of screen )
if i tick it my dark screen will be reversed to white etc..etc untick and i have darkscreen with white lettering
there is also other very good settings on that page eg..font size ...short cut
see screenshot ..have you tried this ?
good luck .

Yotaphone 2- white text on black background/invert colours EDP

Can anybody please tell me if theres a way to get my yotaphone 2 (black) to invert its colours or display white text on a black background on the EPD?
Basically I would like to have my phone function in the same way as the yotaphone white's do, i.e in a 'night mode' style display.
All help will be appreciated

Hello
Not sure of what you are looking for. You can always invert the black & white in Yota reader, but That's the only thing I know. If you want to invert the whole epd screen all the time, I have no clue.
Yep im trying to invert the EPD all the time like it is on the white version of the phone found in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYThtveI8iQ
Would it not be possible to flash the white versions firmware to my phone?

I have done that and it changes nothing about the display, my phone is rooted, do you think that might be affecting the white theme from working?
When you load the 'white theme' doe s it invert the colours/give you white text on black background?

Greetings all,
I have a S7, and when I have a open white area, lets just go with messages, When I open up the message (text, stock) and compose a new message, I get the white screen however in the background I can see the home screen icon's very faint, with colors. I did a screen shot and when on the phone you can see the icon's, however when I move the screen shot to the PC I dont see any of the icon's, I was hoping to post the pic, but the pic is perfect. I dont know how to explain this, but it weird. I have done two factory wipe's, this is stock, I have not modified this phone. The carrier, (If needed) is T-Mobile. Any and all information will be greatly appreciated.
Ciao~

If you take a screenshot and it does not display the same as what you are seeing it means it is NOT software related unfortunately this is screen burn
thats what I figured, but its very bad, I have never had any of Samsung Phones every do this. If the display is burned, why would the icon's have color? I see only the background icons, when the screen is white. If it was burned should I see it on all the screens?

The screen burn burns in the colors a possible way to test this is change your background icons from what they were previously and see if the colours have changed on the screen where you can see the burn in..
Alternatively Get a screen test app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ua.dp.ustav.screentest should let you put solid colors on the screen) and set it for all white (there shouldn't be any other color showing) then for all black (there shouldn't be anything but black or a uniform very dark gray). If either one shows any sort of picture "ghost", the screen has burn-in.
Apparently it helps slightly if you set the screen mode to cinema. (Settings>Display>Screen Mode>Cinema)
Hope this helps
