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.

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.
At the top of my screen, there are two spots leading up to the edge where the blacks (can only notice it on blacks) are faded. It almost looks like there's a leak where the light is bleeding though, except there is no light bleeding through. Not sure what it is. My camera picked it up a lot better then you can notice it, but you can still notice it when the screens all black.

If you don't think you have this, I would still point a good camera at it to check, because it picks things up that you don't sometimes.
thats called "blacklight bleed" and ALL sidelit LCDS have this issue to some degree (iphone5, htc one X, even your desktop monitor)... you would need a SAMOLED screen to completely get rid of it

Its an expensive camera that's better discerning than the human eye...
If I can't see it with my naked eye, I'm not too worried about it
Well, let me explain. I have this issue since a while now, I remember that from the very beggining (using Ginger Bread) this issue wasn't there on my display. And now is getting really annoying, I don't know exactly why, but I definetely feel like this is getting worse.
First of all, it's not a serious problem that affects deeply, the phones works great, it doesn't affect the general function at all. Is just a LCD problem, it will be great to find a solution to this so I can enjoy my phone at 100%.
Specifically, when I'm on the screen watching pictures with red tones (red, orange, yellow, sometimes green) I can see tiny static lines on my display. I mean, the lines are static more on the left side of the screen. How do I know that are static? Well, when I scroll down or scroll up, zoom in or zoom out the image continues with the resolution and color and the lines are there like glued to the glass from inside and makes it look bad.
It's crazy, I don't know what to do. I read in other forum, (S2 forum) that those lines go away by flashing with Apollo kernel.... anyway, I can't attach any screenshot because it's not a software problem, the image will look fine if I do. It's a hardware problem. But what to do?
I've tested the LCD by *#0*# and in RED you definetely see how the lines are showing, are like a gradient. I take a picture, I hope you can see what I'm talking about.

I have the same problem for the red color but on the right side...I wonder if waranty would fix that?
Anyone having this problem with one side of the screen being brighter? Very noticeable on Grey's and some blues.

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.
Has anyone else had this?
It's not dissimilar to this issue in the old LG G PAD

It is not as prominent, but it is there. It's like tiny lights, which illuminate the bottom edge of my Z3+, are there across the bottom - more visible on whites, or bright colours.
I can live with it (I think) if it's a common issue, but is it or should I replace?
Many thanks. Once more, it's not as prominent ! Same effect, about half a centimeter, if that, long.

I've had a 3rd unit, and it was worse than this one - with the first, white, being the worst of them all.
It's so minimal, this odd light bleed I mention, that I'll keep the 2nd one I think. It's like a very very thin lightbleed, only visible against red or blue, in a wavy pattern - less than 2-3 milimeters. I think, overall, the panel job is not so good because they made the phone thinner.
I don't have it
