Don't know if its only mine but sometimes i notice whatever watch face is not always centered on the screen. It seems that it only happens when screen is dimmed. Happens on preloaded watch faces as well.
Anybody notice this?
Happens to mine too.
Sent from my SM-G906S
Yeah, it annoys me at times. Not sure if its the watchface or the clock part of wear itself. Hopefully once they update with full watchface support it will be fixed
Thanks for the answers guys. I love the watch its just one of those things.
Is there any way of knowing when these updates come out? Just got mine less than a month ago.
Pretty sure this happens intentionally, to keep the amoled screen from burning in, since it has to be on all the time.

I completely agree...I noticed it and was thankful that I won't be getting any burn in!
On another note saw that an update is coming. Has hit the g watches already

This guy is correct. Samsung did that on purpose to prevent horrid screen burn in which would happen very quickly if the clock was ALWAYS in the same position!

Anyone noticing a screen door effect with their LCD screen? Mine definitely has it, wondering if this is normal. My last two phones have been AMOLED, so I'm not sure.
Do you mean like this?
Nexus 4 has a pattern on the display.
(I'm trying to consolidate all these threads as more and more people finally get their hands on the phone)

No, it's not dots like the digitizer. It's very fine horizontal and vertical lines like seen on some cheap TN panel monitors.
Unfortunately it's so fine I doubt I could capture it with a picture. But it seems to detract from the sharpness of the screen.
Guessing it's just me. I assume if I think my Galaxy Nexus screen looks better than the Nexus 4, then I probably got a defective Nexus 4. RMA time it seems.
I'm cursed. Had to RMA my Galaxy Nexus a couple times because of the purple effect. My Nexus 7 because of the lifted glass, now this. Ugh.
If I look close, I can make out a very slight screen door effect at times. I'm guessing all of them have this to some extent, but maybe it's worse on yours if it's so noticeable as to bother you.

Well good news for me, I no longer see this issue on my screen. It seems to have cleared up and it looks sharp and clear now. *Whew* I'm happy and love the screen.

I can definitely see it on mine, grays make it pop out more. It's not too bad to warrant the hassle of trying an exchange, though.
Not sure why it would clear up by itself, but if it does I am not gonna mind it
My LG thrill has that, and so does the HTC inspire.
Its normal I guess

No way, not even close to as bad as pentile.
I also see these vertical lines. Been driving me crazy when I focus on them. No worries though. Great phone.

You are right, it didn't. I think after using a while, I started seeing past it. Then I was messing around with my Galaxy Nexus and tablet. Then went back to the phone and I can notice those lines again.
It also depends on what I'm looking at. It really stands out looking at the XDA forums, on the brown colors (I'm using the XDA 2010 theme).
I can't be the only person who occasionally finds their phone unlocked and doing something it shouldn't be while in their pocket.
I've been trained to keep my screen facing toward my thigh in my front pocket, but it seems that the screen is a bit TOO sensitive if it's managing to trigger a swipe (and open other apps) through my pocket and underwear.
It seems the one feature that I felt like I would REALLY love and may save me some battery is actually ending up triggering my screen and killing it instead.

Yeah this has happen to me a couple times too. It seems to happen more when I generate body heat when walking long distances or at work.
Another similar issue I have is when I'm talking to someone, my phone will wake and listen thinking it heard the touchless control phrase even though I've said nothing similar. Great features, but needs slight tweaking.
I haven't had any of these problems. Do you have a case on it? That could be part of the reason why

Nope. No case or screen protector.
It's been quite warm here though, so maybe that's the issue. I have found it open at the camera once. Odd, as I don't run with a phone in my pocket or anything like that.
Once I put a case on my phone I noticed it was a little harder to use touch less notifications

I had this problem for a day. Once I turned off touchless control, it hasn't happened again.

I've had no major problems because I use a Otterbox, but sometimes I have to touch and hold to hereto the notification menu to come down.

I have the same issue but on a different phone. Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE on CM10.1 with 1min screen timeout in my pants pocket.
I just learn to live with it
But this is definitely a good post to know. Thanks to the OP. Will drop you a thanks.
Either you ladies are wearing pants that are too tight or your peckers are playing with the phone without your knowledge because it's so awesome.

Haven't had this happen at all. I thought I read that the phone could sense when it was covered up (in a pocket) and wouldn't let the screen notifications come on then.
I have the otter box on it and when I put the phone in my pocket there is no problem. Best bet for you is to get a case

Hey guys, so I got my Pebble a few days ago and I noticed when driving in the car that there was purple "wrinkles" all over the screen. I turned off the pebble and sure enough they were still there. I took a picture http://imgur.com/OAp5D31
So, once I got inside the house I noticed it disappeared for the most part. I can still see it if I look at the screen from the side but not if I was looking at it head on. I figured it might have to do something with temperature because it was fairly cold in the car. Has this happened to anyone? I'm fine if this is normal, but if this is a defect I would definitely want to exchange it for another one.
I have definitely seen the "wrinkles" you're describing. I'll try to make sure I look at them next time I walk the dog and report back.

Thanks, I'm sitting in a warm room and they seem to be mostly gone. If I tilt the watch though and look at it horizontally I do see like a "wrinkled frame" around the screen. Would you be able to look at it from the same angle and tell me if you get the same thing?

Definitely do, and always have. I believe it's something that all Pebbles experience due to the type of screen.

This is the nature of the screen even though they don't say it's lcd, it seems like these type of screens ha very this effect.
Typically seen on lcd watches and calculator screen.
Normal finding.

Thanks a lot guys. I just wanted to make sure I didn't have a defective unit and have the screen stop working on me later on when it would be too late to exchange/return.
I think there is a polarizing film to add contrast that shows the waves in certain light

I see that when I look at my watch through my polarized sunglasses.. in 65 degree weather. Strange..
I have the new Oakley red based polarized lenses and can't read it at all, but the older gray based I can

I sure see that on my screen too, but not necessarily in cold weather only, here in India in my city, the coldest it gets is 15-16degree Celsius which is 60degree farenheit... Also, my screen is a little yellow-ish at the bottom. Anybody notice that?
I have actually had the same thing. I originally saw it when wearing my polarized Oakley's but I thought if was just the lenses. I actually can barely see my Nexus 5 screen with them on as well.

My Pebble was the same but I notice that this only happen when you use a white watch face, now I use a dark watch face and the problem is gone. Maybe you guys can try that trick.
Good luck.
Will is, won't it, how much drop the S5 can take?
Wow..did not expect the s5 to be rugged..his tests were pretty substantial. So s5 has the best mobile display, one of the best cameras out on a smartphone, the best battery performance in the market, has water resistance, heartbeat and fingerprint sensors..guess this should clear up any doubts people initially had about this phone being just an incremental update to the s4

This video honestly surprised me, the sheer resilience of the thing is incredible but I would guarantee the screen would have cracked had he put it face down and then ran it over but nonetheless it is still an incredible feat.

Wow, color me impressed. Not only was the car test impressive for the front screen, but I was at least expecting the back plastic to crack. Damn. I was already impressed with the S5 to begin with, but this just put it over the top for me.
Just one more week...
Think I have now made my choice between the S5 and M8 now thanks!

Not bad. It seems the S5 takes most of the everyday drops well and far better than it's predecessors, anything from human height and you'll be all right, unless landing face down, which still KOs the screen.
BTW, is there an article out there analyzing the likeliness of a face down land? You know, pulling out of pocket and dropping, slipping while taking a photo, someone accidentally knocking out of the hand and dropping from ear... out of 100 drops, do we know roughly how many lands face down?
HOLY GORILLA GLASS BATMAN!!! I think I need a valium after that. I would really like to see some of that old batman animation added to this video. You know, POW, CRRAACK!, KAPOW!, THWACK!, ect. You get the idea.

This is not what I expect from samsung. I've never seen this on a premium samsung product but I have seen it on a Galaxy S4 Mini. Figured they may have used a cheaper panel in a cheaper phone but I honestly didn't think AMOLED was susceptible to this. Keep me posted!
I haven't noticed any burn in on mine.
Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
I sort of expect it to be like the Galaxy Nexus. A few people got unlucky and had bad burn-in, for others it generally took about 2 years of solid use. That's definitely going to be accelerated by having it on all of the time. I've been using Simple Watchface which moves the time/date in always-on mode which will prevent burn-in.
I'm actually beginning to see this on mine as well. I had to change my wallpaper (had the same as the OP) to the dark analog one but now I'm wondering if I should just go with screen off instead of always on. Thoughts?
