Could just be a defective screen, samsung are notorius for bad quality control with there monitors, things like tints because of the way glue drys. A picture would help us but if its a defective screen you gonna have to take it to samsung.

Btw heres the pic i took from my other phone.

Yeah, you probably looking at a defective screen, I can see what you are talking about. I would rma it if it bothers you enough.
Question:
Does it go away if you decrease the brightness or use auto brightness

No, it doesn't go away, but it follows the brightness settings when i decrease it or use auto brightness however, the sides are always brighter.

Yeah, looks to me like its defective. I

[Q] Stock photos milky and overly bright?

Hey there,
Just wondering, does anyone else find the photos on the 2X really milky and overly bright?

Compared to some photos I took a couple of weeks ago with my Desire HD..
I would have thought the 8MP on the LG would kill the Desire HD but now looking at it, I'm not so sure...?
It's said like a thousand times before but i'll say it again. There is a problem with the auto white balance, if you do it by hand the photo's will be much better .
WB how you do it by hand? I can only select automatic presets that are not very good.
Anyway, the best improvment in quality photo for my lg optimus was by reducing exposure by 1 or 2 clicks on the +/- icon
Take a look at the camera mod in the dev section to improve your camera quality. I know its just for video for now but maybe in future updates it will contain improved photos.

I'm already running that
They app aint that sophisticated sadly enough, but you can change the white balance at settings, if you go there you see it's normally on auto, you can change it to sunny and stuff like that. That allready changes a lot for me.
Thanks yeah I changed it to landscape and was much better, but also Camera 360 kills the stock app
I noticed i get less glare when i take off the battery cover, i think it contributes to the milkyness a bit but not sure

White background. Try a diff wallpaper. White really shows it off on mine.

Isn't this just an issue with the contrast capability of the hardware? If so you cannot fix this other than changing the background or colour I believe.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believe this banding is in the Liberty rom, so its a blur thing? I was hoping there was a mod to flash and fix it. Looks like its just a transparent layer gone wrong

Agreed....if it was just an issue with the pentile screen it wouldn't reproduce in the screen shot.

Every Samsung AMOLED screen is like that.
My galaxy s3 and note 2 were not like that

Hmmm...I was laying in bed last night streaming some videos because I couldn't sleep. I think I would have noticed something like that on the black loading page...I recall everything was of uniform brightness. I'll have to check again later & specifically look for it. However, I'm incredibly anal about that kind of stuff so I think it would have stuck out like a sore thumb.
I have a Charcoal Grey unit, by the way.
Opened up Chrome to that blank screen like you did and mine looks normal. I was thinking perhaps it was just a viewing angle sort of problem, but every angle I tried looked the same...normal. Not sure what could be causing that for you.

We've come a long way with display technology and bad displays are a lot more rare than they used to be, but a bad one still will slip through from time to time. A trip down to the local AT&T store to swap it out for a new one will fix the problem.

Anyone know how to make the camera better

It seems I'm in a rather compromising situation when it comes to the gs5's camera. If I turn on picture stabilization, the camera has an agonizingly slow picture rate. However, if I turn it off the pictures look no better than my old blackberry (grainy). Does anyone know any modes that gave a measure of both quickness ad photo quality?

Lines /dots on display?

Noticed there are dots on the display the run symmetrically up and across the screen. They are faint but when in direct sunlight they shimer sort of and it's a little annoying. Cant notice in regular lighting. Anyone else notice this or should I try to send back?
I have this too

I have this too, i do not think it is a defect and i do not have any problems with the lines and dots. You should speak to a sony representative and ask them what it is.
I probably should have done a google search before posting. Seems like it is the digitizer. Grid patterns thats how the touch screen works. It's normal. I guess I need to stop being a little girl about this phone.lol

@Notchr302 I noticed it too the other night at a store. Because of the configuration I figured it was the digitizer but I have never seen one so obvious.
