I've noticed that my live wallpaper (Earth Rot) turns into a solid white silhoutte (as does the orbiting Moon) when I connect the USB (Mass Storage Mode). There is a darker shadow moving across the image, but all of the detail is gone.
Anybody else seeing this behavior?

Hello.
Does anyone noticed any issues with semi-transparent overlays (alpha channel transparency).
In ES File Explorer in the address bar when it scrolls sdcard information, on both sides of the address bar it shows blinking black boxes, they are supposed to be white, simulating dissolving letters that passing under them. This doesn't happen all the time, but I'd say 80% of the time.
In SpeedTest the rectangulars under the speedometer are white covering whatever information they supposed to show.
This also happens in other application's settings, when text is too long and getting trimmed by fading away to the side, so the part that's fading away become dark colored sticking out as a broken font.
Anyone else experience this?

I've seen some text color issues, but the issues I see are the same as what I saw with my Desire HD running ICS. That being said, the speed test thing on mine works fine and I can see the boxes perfect. Did you root? Did you change to Rogers or put another RUU other than whats stock OTA on yours?
Yes, I did root and yes, it's was happening on stock rom and now on 1.82 RUU. I shall see tonight if it does the same with just fresh 1.82 without the root.
If the issue persists, what do you think could possibly cause it? (If you are certain that the boxes on each side of the speed numbers after the test are showing the graphs as supposed to)
I found what's causing it: Settings -> Developer options -> Force GPU rendering
Disabling that option fixes issue with transparency.
Any ideas if this is hardware related or software?
Is there any way to make the Viper settings menu (black on white background) closer to the android default colors (white on black background)?
Sorry if dumb question, dumb questioner.
Also after isntalling viper 3.14, when connecting the phone to computer it only shows up as "portable devices" with the sdcard inside that, instead of giving the card a proper drive name (e.g. F: or G. Is there a way around this, or did I do something wrong with the setting somewhere?? Is there a setting to enable old school style sd card mounting??
Hey guys I've noticed a screen problem with my Samsung Galaxy S6. On my phone I can only detect it when using a black background/any image that is black. So I was swiping through my homescreen, and noticed a a color shift that would cover the sides of the icons. As I swiped back and forth through the different screens. I figured it was maybe the launcher I was using(I'm using nova launcher prime beta). So I switched back to the regular Samsung launcher and experienced the same problem. It's not a big deal but I think I'm going to get it replaced.

Actually I think I have the same issue. It particularly shows when scrolling in apps with dark (black) elements which border to another dark - but not black - (e.g grey) element.
For example in the 'relay for reddit' app with the night OLED skin enabled. The usual list background is black, while already visited links have a greyish background. if you scroll through the list, you notice that color shifting. I just did a quick video to demonstrate the issue. It is very difficult to see there though .

Is that a singular issue which would be solved by a replacement or is it a general problem? As this issue only is visible when black pixels become lit I assume it is a general AMOLED issue :-/
So recently i started to notice that in my home screen (touchwiz or other launchers) at the top of the screen there is some grey lines it is best visible if i use a black wallpaper and set the brightness to the maximum. This doesn't show anywhere except on the home screen. I tried other wallpapers, and if i look at it in the gallery or turn on ultra power saving mode there is no grey lines.(my device is galaxy s6)
Does anyone know what it is? Or how to fix it?
(i hope you guys can understand me sry for my english)
So, if you switch to your pictures and images gallery, the lines disappear?
Did you drop your device on the floor or did it incurred any damages lately?

It's a common issue. It's stupid Touchwiz/Samsung system which creates a small overlay at the top of Homescreens (any launchers) & lockscreens. In gallery etc, it's perfectly black since no overlay.
I don't think there is a fix. U can use a slightly greyish instead of full black wallpaper. It's not a big problem though
Oh i understand. Thank you for help. I was thought my phone has a problem.
Sometimes the grey lines can appear in Samsung mobiles if you use a bad launcher or a theme which is not compatible with the phone. You can try updating to a new version and see if fixes the problem, or use a light gray wallpaper as already suggested. Another couple of things to try... take a screenshot of your phone and test it on your laptop to see if the lines are still there. If not then it could be a problem with the screen itself. It's also worth restarting your phone in Safe Mode as this mode only runs with pre-installed apps. If you don't see the lines then an app could be your culprit
Dark greys number 1-12 all look the same as black in Display Tester app. In dark scenes in movies wherever should be shadows I see only uniform black. It is unusable on movies and photos.
Anyone can suggest a fix?
Tried adaptive brightness on/off, 60/120 Hz, black mode on/off with no luck.
Using the vpn linked here to download the latest update has fixed HDR black level issues as well as others. Perhaps it will fix your issue.
