Just for curiosities sake: how come custom roms have the slightly messed up curved corners at the top?
Which ROM
I'd also really like to know why and if there's a fix
Not only on top. And not all customs, AOSiP have corners done properly, at least on top of the screen.

I am on Liquid Remix, but I tried linage Os 16 too and that also had slightly funky corners. I will try AOSiP
edit: I just flashed AOSiP and it also has a few dead pixel/uneven curve.
Yeah i dis notice it in all custom roms. Went back to stock and now the corners are smooth.
I was always curious why this was.

Hi. I'm not sure when this appeared, but now with the Android L update it's extremely noticeable (well to me it is) because of how the status bar changes its color according to what's on screen. As you can see in the pictures the smudge isn't visible when the background is pure white. I know this may not seem like anything to worry about, but it annoys the living hell out of me. Thanks in advance.
It looks like a hardware defect. Have you tried going back to pure stock to see if there is some sort of app interference? If you have, then it is most definitely a hardware defect.
Already tried it. It looks like you're right :/. Thank you.
@kittymoonstah,
I have the same black smudge at my N4. I have noticed it couple months ago (maybe it was there since the beginning but haven't noticed it).
It has nothing to do with lollipop, I also believe that is hardware related... maybe some devices have this problem (faulty hardware) while other don't...
I know that it's not related with Lollipop. I just said that it was more noticeable now because of the multicolored status bar. I just checked my phone and the freaking smudge is GONE...Could it be due to the device heating up?

Yeah, i also have this smudge on top of the display. I don really care, the end is near for my N4
That was exactly what I was thinking. The smudge could be due to heat produced by the phone. Do whatever you have to do to keep the device cool, because the top area of the display is roughly above the SoC, which under heavy tasks can produce lots of heat.
Thanks! Appreciate it.
same here, I noticed it first when I installed android L test version
So I have the edge since the 11th now. And every time I have the feeling that the screen is centered to the right side, I notice it extra with a case. As the area between the bezel and the screen is larger on the left side.
This afternoon I looked with an magnifying glass and indeed saw that this was indeed the situation. It is about 0.1 mm or so but oh so annoying. Luckily I can exchange it, however there will be only phones I stock around the 30th. Keeping mine thill then.
Are there others with the same issue?
The attached version is not my phone, but just an example to explain.
To better understand what i mean I attached a picture. I have the black version but you could see it as the black line on the right side of the phone is thinner than on de left, so the screen is essentially to far to the right..
not the best picture for judging...
But I know what you are talking, I have seen a few devices now and all of them were different in terms of screen quality and alignment!
for me, the worst problem is the uneven contrast (darker sides) on most of the screens. i own 3 devices now and all of them have display flaws. two suffer from a yellow tint when tilting, the other screen has a slightly darker left side... :|

I know. When my S6 comes back from warranty repairs I will try to make a picture. The S5 I have laying around can't focus clearly enough.
Well I hope I won't have a replacement with tint issues or such. Because my screen is, aside of the alignment, pretty perfect. Maybe I'm a bit nitpicky but I think that's justified with these kind of price tags.
I still have till the 30th to get used to it or exchange it. An order for a replacement has been made.
People complain about issues of screen color when tilting the device.. When are u ever tilting the device? U should be looking at it dead on anyways.
Honestly I don't see anything from ur picture, maybe ur just crazy.. If it is a little little misaligned who cares.. It's the curve part anyways..

The picture I used is just to explain what i mean with the black lines on my phone. Imagine that picture with no black line on the right of the phone, so the screen blends in with the white. And a bigger black line on the left.
That's what i have, but my phone is black so i cant put it on a picture to explain it.
I can really only tell in a dark room, but there is ever-so-slight light leakage where the glass meets the metal on the bottom of my S7 Edge. I see the slight leakage on the bottom-left and bottom-right. Doesn't bother me much, maybe a little, but my experience with smartphones is you'll be lucky to find one with absolutely flawless everything including screen alignment. It's often not worth exchanging for a new one, which may have other issues. Plus there's the whole issue of setting the phone up from scratch again. My device seems to be working fine (this is my 5th day with it) so far, so I won't be exchanging it.
After reading this thread I checked mine and its is misaligned like you described. I then went to Samsung and they checked and said that its normal. Now that I see it, its driving me crazy.

Same
Same **** with me. My screen is also misaligned and its driving me nuts with this phone price i dont know what to do about it. I have s7 edge btw same **** all over with the s6edge. I really didnt notice it when using the phone. I noticed it when im checking out the phone looking how pretty it is then when i turned on the screen i noticed that the left side of my screen has a thinner black bezel and when i look on the right it has a little bitty gap.
Guys is there any rom with Rounded Display Corners..i cant find it in any roms..
Havoc OS
why do you prefer rounded corners on this phone?
Edit: Solved. The culprit was the custom fingerprint icon mod I had way back. Just disabled that and everything is fine again.
Hi, just wondering if it's normal for the 6t to have jagged pixels on all four corners where the screen curves? it's quite obvious on white backgrounds.
I can see the pixels on my corners but they are definitely not jagged like yours, the curves should be smooth.

Stock OOS or AOSP?
Stock 9.0.11. Found the culprit, it was the fingerprint icon mod I installed way back. I just disabled it and the corners got smooth again.
Just curious what ROM for the one plus 6t has the most features. Do you prefer a ROM with ton of customization and not use them all or one with little amounts of customization and not use them..
Havoc has the most features, but it also has the most bugs, as they tend to go hand in hand. I'll take minimal and fully functional, rather than a bunch of features that only half work. I've actually just returned to stock, because custom just isn't as refined. Teo perfect examples. 1: the fp sensor does not work as well as stock, don't let anyone tell you differently. Not to mention there is no animation, so you just have to stare at that ugly AF green dot. 2nd perfect example is how you hide the notch on custom. It draws a straight line across the top of the screen, so you have 90° corners at the top and curved at the bottom. Looks retarded. Stock, actually curves the edges so they match closer to the original corners. I could trash talk OP all day (plenty of ammo), but I won't. But for someone who hates OP as much as I, to tell you that stock is still a better experience, should tell you something. Waiting for the note 10+ 5G, so I can get rid of this POS
