[Q] Texture on the screen/skin

Hi all, since the first time I saw a texture on the screen, like a photovoltaic panel in my screen (and that of my friend too), i tryed to take a photo but the black of the screen can just mirror all the room.
Anyone know what is?

I believe you are looking at the sensor grids.... it's not a defect every Z has it, so no worries

The + looking grid thing? I believe those are the touch sensors. Every phone has them like the poster before said it.

Never saw on all other phones, are you sure?

My arc s and z have them. I just checked my girlfriends arc and SGS 3, they have it aswell.

What do you do before this problem occur?

If you choose a 16:9 resolution (9M for example) the full screen is used, if you choose a 4:3 resolution (like 12M) you'll have a black bar.

As explained by Guhrasoh, it's perfectly normal.
Just aim and snap away

Nexus 6 Amoled Display Artifacts [THREAD CLOSED]

I've had my Nexus for only 2 days and I've noticed some artifacts on my display. I've included screenshots using Screen Test app which show some horizontal lines on my display and also vertical lines but these are more vivid on the device itself they don't seem to show so much in the screenshots. These lines are visible regardless of what I use as wallpaper. Anyone else having this issue or is this normal?? Will this clear up over time or do I need to send it in for an RMA??

LMFAO....
Ok, so because you are obviously clueless about the distinction between hardware and software, any visual artifact caused by the AMOLED display **CAN NOT** appear on a screenshot.
Those lines you are seeing are due to the DITHERING algorithm used to generate the gradient that you are displaying. Gradient = the progression from white to black through multiple degrees of gray. This is a function of SOFTWARE, not hardware. RMA will do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for this.

I understand there are different gradients, this is different, what I'm seeing is lines gradient or not but they are obvious even when not using the screen test app, they are visible everywhere at anytime doesn't matter what background or wallpaper I'm using. There are vertical lines also that look like they are baked into the screen.

Well then send it for an RMA? i dont see what your purpose of this post was, to ask if its normal to have baked in horizontal lines? its not.
i dont see any lines on my display, so i would sent it back for a replacement. i guess i was one of the lucky few with a device with no issues, the only issue i found was that i did not get any lollipop with the device, see here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/help/missing-lollipop-nexus-6-t3046877

Hey man thanks for your reply, my question is really aiming at anyone else with the same issue. I didn't think it was right, I guess I was just hoping that it would resolve itself somehow but obviously not. As for lollipop, yeah my device came with it, why what did you get on yours, KitKat???

Haha, lol... You're not serious are you ?

So if its happening on all wallpapers / screens and you're convinced its not dithering, could you get a pure whiff background and upload both the screenshot and a photograph with a camera of the issue please? All I see is the dithering so far

even though you did start a thread about it, you do not get a free lollipop when you buy a nexus 6.

Ok, so here I have one screenshot and x2 camera shots. The vertical lines seem to be the most distinct. What are your thoughts?

I definitely cant see anything on the screenshot. As for the camera photos, its tricky because they are a little pixelated, probably due to the contrast.

I'll see if I can get a better camera shot. Thanks for taking the time and having a look. Overall the display is beautiful, just concerned about the vertical lines I see on the display when using my phone

I think it might be a good idea to go to an optometrist to make sure that the lines aren't caused by your eyes.

Your going to have these vertical lines had them on all amoled screens. But if your seeing them on say like your home screen and other places I'd get a replacement. But if you only see them say with just a white or gray screen I wouldn't worry about it. If you want you can try this app out on Google play... Amoled burn in fixer.. Good day

Thanks for your comments guys, I believe I do have an issue with my display therefore will proceed with a DOA replacement. Cheers

Done.

100% black wallpaper has a gradient at the top

Does anyone else have this problem it only shows on a black wallpaper and can be hidden by placing a black object over it. Its almost like the wallpapers not fully black but ive tried multiple black images and a factory reset and its always there im sure its a fault just wanted to point it out and see if anyone else sees it on there device.

I've seen it as well... But not just on this phone it has been on multiple Samsung devices that I have owned as I typically run a solid black background.

yeah this one sucks .. only solution is by using live wallpaper or set samsung theme wallpaper.

Yes, I already posted this query. ( Repost).Bottom line, it occurs on home screen only at top or screen. and is due to the resolution of the image used. Try a proper black wallpaper designed for the note 8 home screen and all will be good . Using black wallpaper from note 3 or 4 won't work .

Use the black wallpaper via Samsung app store. I used this and my problems were resolved.

interesting i did actually search before posting im not new around here i know how things work i never found your thread, i put tags in my post so that its easy for people searching this issue to find it, sometimes its just a case of getting the right keywords. Anyways like i said i tried multiple black images even made my own in CS5 resolution was 1440 x 2960 IIRC only thing i havent tried yet is an indexed color but i will ive had lods of sammy amoled phones and this is the first time ive seen this happen.

That was the only one that worked for me. All other would show a horizontal type "light bleed" around the LED indicator top left area on home screen.

Yes had this one all my sammy phones
The 'FIX' i use is to download any app that will let you set an image and apply it as a Live Wallpaper.
for example
download this one and set your custom wallpaper with it and apply the live wallpaper.
This way you can use any true black wallpaper you like rather than sticking to samsung theme stores wallpapers
it should have gone now

Note 8 bug?

Hi i have an note 8 SM-N950U ( T-Mobile ) and the icons on the top are small, and the bottom part is like pushed, it feels kinda small and weird, i hope the images are clear
Icons small on the wifi-bar
I think the resolution is wrong somehow.
Any Fix?

Have you checked your DPI settings under Developer Options? It should be 360 default . Also check your font size etc.

Somehow i changed it to 360 and stays the same, you see the first image with black part ? under the square?, in my view it feels like the screen is not full completed, that's why i said the icons are small

See the pictures where i did that ? , the screen misses a place there causing the icons on the nav bar getting smaller.

Download Screen Tester from the app store then use the GRAY #8080 screen then take a pic please. That tests the screen unifromity etc so will show better.

See this picture with higher quality, you know that i mean right ? https://imgur.com/a/KW18Y , this black line, you know see it ? without blue line : https://imgur.com/a/vbOb0

https://imgur.com/83YNyg8 i believe the image is now good to see the black line. not a part of the screen.

You mean simalar to the screen being fitted a bit too high. I think I understand. Mine is a bit too low. on the gray 8080 using Display tester I think the top of my screen is a bit too low, yours seems to be opposite of mine perhaps.

I downloaded Display Tester on mine using gray #8080 and noticed perhaps the top part of my screen is similar to the bottom of your screen. So mine is probably opposite of yours. Probably the glass black seal or whatever they use is slightly up on yours and down on mine.

This is actually kinda of annoying, did you manage to fix yours ?

It kinda sucks and annoying , i believe it's from firmware? did you manage to fix yours?
I see other variants and they seem just fine, you saw the print of the screenshot, it displays full screen, idk why

Nevermind lol it was the glass protector xD , i'm such a dumb , the easiest solution was all the time in front of me thank you
