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.

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

What is your favourite wallpaper? I've had varying experiences with wallpapers I've used on the Hero, some look good some don't.
What wallpapers do you use both for the lock screen and the home screen? This is my current lock screen wallpaper:
And my homepage wallpaper is from Vista:
Maybe we could all post/share images of our wallpapers which we think work rather well? I've also found that a plain black background looks pretty good on the homescreen too.
I use these.
If anyone wants the full jpg pm your email.
I took these photos. Views from my window btw.
Currently using these ones (as attached).
Also attached a shot of how my home screen looks with the 1st wallpaper.
There are some great ones here :
http://interfacelift.com/wallpaper_beta/downloads/date/any/
What resolution are we actually supposed to be using for our wallpapers? Am I right in thinking its 620 x 480?
I know the screen res is only 320 x 480, but theres 7 parts to this screen, heard a roumer that they had 50px moved when sliding from one side to the other (150px on normal android)
Just found out its 640 x 480, close
You can use any size image, when you choose a wallpaper you are presented with a box which you can change the dimensions of to have it scaled correctly. The actual aspect ratio would have to be equivalent to 640*480 to avoid having to crop part of it though.
@Huey85
It appears from your third picture that you have fitted you Hero with a protective case. Would you mind telling which one it is? Thanks
Sorry for the off-topic

Hello guys! U may try the application from market called "wallpapers" made by Mabilo android team. U can find there a lot of categories of wallpapers and u can download and save in to your phone if u desire.
I can't wait to get my hero on the 11th....can't we use the g1 wallpapers..?
Here's my lock screen (default size 1920x1200):
I needed to choose a dark background due to the default white font from Drizzy's lock screen.

hi there.
i want to ask about O4X HD lcd screen. Is it normal that we can see a very2 thin horizontal line (maybe white or black) that is barely visible to our eyes? it is not a big problem for me,but just want to clarify with other users here. Maybe LG's true hd ips screen like that?
sorry for my bad english.
Thank you.
I've got the same thing. None of the reviews I've read online have mentioned it. Maybe our eyes are too sharp. I only notice it 20% of the time, so I don't mind so much.

Set your brightness at maximum and go to a white background, like the one from the settings menu. You should be able to see many small horizontal lines. But you only notice those when looking closely and carefully.

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.

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

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 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

It would be much easier to spot any problem with your display with a uniform dark background. The current black background with non uniform white patches is a bad choice.
Here is my own. It cant be a burn in as its visible in the screenshot and disaperes if i watch a video, look in my gallery ect. Only visible on homescreen.

What? "Another app" implys you've downloaded one in the first place
I think your mistaken in thinking his wallpaper has the gradient actually in the image, it does not. It happens with any black wallpaper !
This has been happening as long as I can remember on my Sammy devices... It does not effect live wallpapers therefore you set your wallpaper with a live wallpaper app that lets you choose your own image.

OP hope you see the fix and no need to worry about your screen being damaged. Cya
Wait.
Are they talking about the gradient looking thing at the top of the screen? That's normal for the statusbar to do that. There's an app called L Speed (for rooted devices) that lets you disable it since it's a RAM flag that creates that effect.
If it was screen burn-in, we wouldn't be able to see it in a screenshot, lol (which they do, but because it's software related, baked into the phone's settings).
