hmm,after a month of usage,just today i noticed a very thin green line along the left side of the screen,only(mostly) visible on white color background...I did alot of surfing today which of course the browser and the sites mostly have white background,maybe thats why i noticed it today and not before...
anyways,its only on the left side of the screen and looks like it is at the just beginning of the pixels and its very hard to see,but it is there...
i did a very little net search and it says it is normal due to our screen matrix,but im asking just to be sure
thx
Doesn't sound normal to me. Any chance of a pic? I'd recommend taking it for repairs before it gets any worse.

after some research on this forum i got this from a senior member on another thread about the amoled:
"It caused by pentile matrix used in none plus samoled screens. Each pixel is made of two sub pixels one green and one either blue or red. The green sub pixel is always on the left side so the left side of the screen will always have that green line."
I should of checked before making this thread,sorry...anyways looks like it is a an amoled feautre
Yep I have it also...Noticed while back but doing a simple google search found out it was common thing

so,i took an extensive coffee break today and went to my local official samsung retailer shop,where i bought my phone since i wanted carrier free(Sim-free) device...i checked the displayed s3mini there and it has the same very thin green line on white background(i used the stock browser)...Also the manager was kind enough to open a new s3mini right out of the box,we put the battery,powered on and same story with the thin green line on the left side of the display...(ahh the 4.1.1 ripple effect,i miss it since its gone on the 4.1.2 upgrade
Anyways sometimes i get carried by this peculiar stuff,so from there i went to my carrier(VIP) shop and checked the displayed unit there and of course it has the same ultra thin green line
So,its an amoled feature,nothing to freak out...its very very hard to notice,especially if you are outdoors where there is plenty of daylight
cheers
Wow now I can see it also on mine but if u had not sad anything I would not have noticed!

Sorry m8,my intentions were not to spoil the experience with our phones...Maybe i should just delete the post..But i think people should be informed about what they are buying...its not a big deal anyways
Update your subject title with (solved) so it doesn't seem like an ongoing problem :-$

Solution to the Green Line on the Left Side
On your Galaxy Device:
Go to: Settings >Display >Screen Mode
Under Screen Mode:
Scroll down and you shall see Advanced Options.. In that make Green 0(zero)
This will get rid of that Green line.. The same method will work for any RGB Line that occurs on the side of your Galaxy Device
All,
I notice when there is a lot of reflection in my screen that I could see blue lines crossing from top to bottom (not sure if you can understand me).
It's more noticable when the screen is receiving a lot of light from the sun and screen is black.
Have somebody found the same issue? I can't make a picture because they are not seen.
I'm thinking to go to Vodafone and ask for a new phone or double check it with another one.
Regards,
Jordi
It is normal. The lines are the screen edges. They can be seen at the top, bottom, left and right edges of the screen when it is off.
You must be lucky then! If my guess is right it should be the oleophobic coating on the screen. And as you stated that you can see them that must only mean it was applied thicker than normal. Which means you won't likely run into fingerprint trouble anytime soon.

I have no idea what this means. Do you mean you can see lines on the screen edges or do you see blocks of little strips going from top to bottom? The first one is just the lamination of the screen, the second is just the touch sensor beneath the glass.
The lines are going from left to right through all screen (top to bottom).
It's hard to explain but if you play a little with the screen when is receiving the sun or there is a lot of light easy to see them.
For sure there is something applied more than normal or an issue screen process.
Just wanted to check if sonebody has the same issue or no as i dont have any other person to compare.
Thanks

These are blue lines and between two lines you can see blocks

Yes, that is the touch panel. Normal and unavoidable. HTC needs to go with in-cell touch to get rid of it. Even then, it might still be there.
I was surprised as i have other HTC phones like the Sensation, Touch Pro 2 and no lines shown.
Thanks for your help

Hey there,
I just noticed that on my 2 day old HTC One (FA35FW9#####, HTC_E11) has strange horizontal line on the screen. Even when it's turned off. It's visible on dark colours (black) when the screen is on. It's annoying. I tried to take a picture of it, but i don't have a lens that will focus on it. It looks like a solar panel of sorts.
Am I the only one that has this weird hardware issue, or is it well known?
regards,
X

Mine definitely has this, I didn't notice it until today outside in the sun. I don't see it at all when the screen is on though.
Hi,
I also see this on my HTC One grid when the display is lit on a black background and there is sun. Is it normal, everyone does it ? Or is it a fault and should it change ?
It's on mine as well...can see it under a very bright light...but not normal conditions...... Think it's the digitizer !???

I think its just the screen. I get it under sunlight when the screen is black. Little annoying but i'll live Anyone else with this?
I find they look more like blocks though...
Do a quick search of the forums. There's MANY of this exact topic, and all have been resolved.
It is the digitizer by BTW...

Hi,
Thank you for your answers. So what is normal ?
Because I saw two other HTC One grid and it was much less visible than on mine, we only see screen off when the mine can be seen when the screen is turned on if the sun on the screen.
Do you think he should return it under warranty ?

Apparently the screens made by sharp have more visible lines than the ones made by JDI, but there's no way to know which is which without running an app to retrieve the information (or maybe viewing the screen under sunlight ). I can see the lines on mine but since I don't look at the screen when it's off I don't really care about them. You'll never find one where the digitizer is invisible, and buying a One is gambling on getting a good one vs build quality issues, so if that's all that's wrong I'd just hold on to it if I were you.

Horizontal lines approx 2mm apart are visible on mine too when screen is off...Noticed after 3 days i got it and was not sure if m i the only one who got it, untill i found this thread. I dont mind those lines if they are there, but it doesn't call for alarm right??
Same
I've had this on two HTC Ones, so I think its normal. I also found that its only really visible when the screen is off.

Same here. Maybe because the pixel technology... Someone better in techs can say maybe.
Also if am right there is same question and discussion about that.

Just the digitiser in the screen. It is visible on all HTC Ones but, as said previously, a little easier to see on the Sharp panels.
Nothing to worry about.

Yeah i just noticed mine today when i was outside in the sun... :/
I just noticed this on my way to work this morning, now I can see it almost all the time whenever the screen is off or has a dark backround, for example I see it with the phone laying flat on my desk directly in front of me, what I would consider a normal viewing angle with the screen off or on with a dark background.
my phone is only 11 days old should I contact my carrier regarding this??, its kind of annoying.

No, it's normal and not annoying. You shouldn't be able to see it if you're looking directly at the phone.

Thanks for the reply, it does bug me a bit like but I guess I could live with it.
It is quite easily noticible from slight angles but not if I am looking at phone straight on. I have a couple of friends with the same phone, I will check theirs to see how visible it is on their handsets.
Want to get even more irritated with it? Pull up a white background, like in the text message app, stare really intensely at it, and you can see the lines very faintly and what appears to be a texture similar to cloth, not a smooth-like-paint texture that would be ideal.
Once you notice it, you'll always see it. Lol. Have a nice day!

OMG you bastard! :laugh:
I just noticed that my ps vita also has these lines, but it's a grid instead of just horizontal lines. Different screen tech but similar digitizer I suppose. I chuckled a bit when I saw it for the first time

Wanted to see if anyone else's phone did what mine is doing. On a white or Light color I can see a darker line going up the ride side of the display. If your using the stock keyboard it lines up with the return key. There's another line going across the upper part of the display going left to right. Here's the weird part, if it wasn't for this I would definitely just say the display burned in somehow. The shadow lines are only visible outside in the sunlight. When I got the phone I did a screen test app and all looked great, but I did the test inside so I don't know if it was always like this in sunlight and I didn't notice or it somehow broke itself since then. I checked all my apps to see if they lined up with the lines and I can't find any that do so I really don't think it's burned in. I should mention I'm using auto brigjtness.
TL;DR : take your phone outside, on auto brightness looking at a white or Light screen and let me know if you can see shadow lines on the right and top of the display so I know if I have to return mine or not, thanks.

I read through a couple pages on there just now, from what I've seen it's people talking about the screen having a colored tint in places, mine is grey lines. It's a long thread, have you seen mentioned the same problem mine seems to have?

Yes. Its mostly people talking about the pink blotches, but there are some that have the gradient lines that are more visible with a black/white screen. Basically, take your phone back and exchange it and pray you get a better display (and not a worse one).
guys does the yellow tint spread ?or destroy the screen ?
Nah it won't destroy your screen. Mine changes from purple to yellow very slightly as I tilt the screen. Doesn't bother me though

since when you have that tint bro ?
I bought this one used on swappa, looked like it had been used for a while with the screen burn in but that went away. I've had it for 3 months now. The bottom left corner is a little noticeable on a white background. Looks kinda pink/purple.
