My second TFP has some light bleed, my first one had none at all (it just rebooted every 5 min)
So far the second one is not rebooting, the wifi is ok, think my first one was better.. gps does nothing but i do not really care.
There is visible light bleed on the top right, it gets worse if i push on it.. also if i push on the right bottom light bleed is visible.
I only notice it on dark screens.
I have read the very long light bleed post, but am wondering at what point do you live with it vs rma it.
Also given that it gets worse when i push on it, I'm wondering if this issue gets worse with time? (other devices with this style screen find that they grow?) or will it sty as it is?

I know it's probably been addressed before but I was hoping for some kind of explanation to the lightbleed? on my TF700T. I question it because I ONLY notice it at the initial boot screen - when the "2nd" bootscreen comes (when the display dims), no bleed - Also, no bleed when on a black screen, watching movies, etc - nothing. Is the initial boot screen just set at an amazingly high backlight that absolutely any tablet (at least any TF700s) would experience this? Perhaps there is an alternate bootscreen I could install and test? I am rooted...
thanks for the advice
PS - I HIGHLY doubt anyone would return theirs for this
Do you mean the two spots on the right side, or do you mean bleeding out from other places? I have light bleed sometimes on the right side but it goes away after a minute or so. Like it has to "warm up" or something.
no, not really - at the initial boot screen, I notice it on all sides but mostly lower left around the "home" icons-when it appears - after the initial boot, it's pretty much gone - I am thinking that the boot up for some reason is set to such a ridiculously high brightness that 0 bleed (if it is even that) is impossible. Can you post a pic of yours during initial boot or a video?
I get lightbleed occasionally but it fades out after a few minuetes.

I think its normal.. my original prime had the light bleeds near home buttons too. I happened to have one of those from best buys first batch the sent in plastic no bubble wrap mailers so it had a dent on the box on the same side the light bleed was the strongest. But so far of the two inifinitys ive opened up at Best Buy, light bleed was in the exact same places.
The teardown from the Prime showed that it is caused by the screws holding the screen in being too tight. If you take it apart you can fix the light bleed spots by adjusting these screws.

I have the same lightbleed on a bottom of my screen (at 3-4 spots) going to the right side as well (1-2 spot). They all gone on the 2nd boot screen. Do you think that this will decrease the life of the screen?
Also I have notice something else and I really not sure what is causing this. I have setup brightness to about 30%, then If I start watching anything (Netfilx, YouTube or movie) my screen is start adjusting (change brightness up and down) like Auto Brightness options is checked, especially when it has a white (or very bright) background color. It is very annoying and very distracting for you eyes. Never happen on my Prime.
Does anyone have experienced the same problem? Any idea how to fix this are very much appreciated.
Thanks

Regarding your second issue that is a known "feature" called Dynamic Contrast.
Quoting the All in one Infinity Guide stickied in the General Forum:
[ Q ] My screen constantly adjusts brightness even if auto-brightness is disabled
Yes,that is a "feature" called Dynamic Contrast but not all of us like it.Follow the directions from this post to disable but keep in mind that your device must be rooted.

Thanks for clarification. I thought that something is wrong with the tablet. It is look like that I have to take the root solution.

I have what sounds like the exact same lightbleed locations. If I watch something late at night with all the lights off it is very apparent.
I don't think it decreases the life of the screen, my TF Prime had much less lightbleed, but it never expanded or anything.
Hello. The screen on my wife's S4G today suddenly started acting funny. First, it wouldn't display anything, but it seemed the phone was still functional. Then, with fiddling on my part, I got it working again, first fully and now in a sub-par way. The phone boots fine - and I actually unlocked the bootloader and rooted, and in the process went through a full reset, just to see if that would help anything - but the screen appears dimmer than before and there's vertical banding across most of it. The banding doesn't completely obscure the screen, but it looks bad. One other thing I notice, and this is reported in other places, is that there's backlight bleed in the lower left corner, even when you just insert the battery, and often on booting, there's a flash of pixelated "dust" across the screen, that's brightest in that corner and fades as it spreads out.
Anyway, TMI probably. Does this sound to anyone like a bad screen, bad connector, digitizer, or something else? I'm totally new to any of these kinds of issues, but would like to save the phone, if possible. TIA.
I don't really know what is happening but my year old nexus 5 seems to be developing a display problem.
It got a yellowish tint at the bottom of the screen but the top 3/4 is totally fine. What is causing it and is it just me who have this problem? Also, if you have any, please post some solutions to the problem without RMA or replacing anything.
It might be something about light leak but I am not seeing any when the screen is displaying a black picture.

I have a similar thing but it tends to only be on the bottom 1/8 of the screen.
I tend to find this is because this is the least used area of the screen - being where the soft keys go. Try running it full screen, full brightness on a white page (probably using something like this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gombosdev.displaytester&hl=en_GB). When you do this, does the yellowish tint fade over time?

By Over Time do you mean 30 minutes or a day? I tried this method before for about half an hour and it does not seems to be working. Will try it again now. But will it really help?
My OCD is killing me. I told myself not to look at the tint and I end up just staring at it.
I received my XT926 as a refurb and I have been experiencing a strange screen issue.
I will often have my phone on a dock, charging and sometimes I will notice the screen is black like it's off, but the touchscreen is responsive. Hitting the power button does nothing but it makes the sound as if I had locked the phone. Hitting the power button a second time will turn the screen on like normal operation.
Very rarely I have noticed the screen will turn off while I'm actually using the phone and it's a weird effect. The easiest way to describe it is that it looks like entire lines disappearing randomly over a period of 1-2 seconds, going from all visible, then to all black, kind of like slatted blinds being closed, but at random. After this, it displays the same symptoms as if I had found the screen off while in a dock/charging.
Now, I don't want to say it's related, but I first started experiencing this on the Stock KitKat update from Verizon. I am currently using Cyanogenmod 12 nightlies and I am experiencing the same issue. It seems to be happening with greater frequency.
I have also experienced the blue screen effect when certain animations/elements/apps are up on my screen, but I think they are unrelated.
Also, there is a faint discoloration bar about 2/5ths of an inch thick uniformly vertically from top to bottom of my phone on the righthand side (just under where the notification bar would be if turned horizontal).
I've tried to find more information about this but my search results have been relatively lackluster (90% of the results are trying to sell me the phone or specification pages)
So I'm breaking down and turning to here. Does anyone know what's going on here? My current theory is that my screen is going bad. I have no intention of replacing the screen on this phone (would rather just buy a new one), so any suggestions that don't involve physical hardware repairs would be appreciated.
I thought i was the only one experiencing it.
The screen turning off with a weird effect happens rarely but yeah it happens. And the blue screen effect, i noticed it only happens when im on the youtube app when the video stops working because of my connectivity issues.
Im not rooted nor is my bootloader unlocked. On the latest system version. Sounds like a software problem but hey im no expert.

i also have this with my referb i made moto give me my money back and they let me keep the phone for me it was very rare but my new phone also had a really bad screen all yellowish and bad white balance in low light if you are unhappy with it call them and say you are unhappy with the replacement here is the white glove number 800-653-7185 they are more understanding and nice but you may lose you ability to unlock your bootloader on the new phone if it comes with the latest software just a warning
I have that screen off with lines slowly disappearing thing, too And, yeah, it's also a refurbished one, bought from one of the sellers on aliexpress... I thought Lollipop was the culprit or something like that. Oh, well... It rarely happens. And luckily I only have that, not the second issue you mentioned
I am having this exact same issue. The weird lines-to-black screen thing, and the flickering blue screen when watching video. Are you saying the solution is to call Motorola and ask for a new phone?
The blue flickering can be prevented by going into Developer Options and checking "Disable HW Overlays".
The discolored stripe on the screen sounds like burn-in; these AMOLED screens are much more susceptible to burn-in than the LCD screens used in older phones. Whomever owned the phone before it was returned to Motorola probably had something running on their screen continuously with a bright-colored bar at the top, likely in a car or desk dock. The screen is very easy to replace yourself with an eBay part, if you're inclined; it involves 2 screws and 2 connectors.
I've seen the lines-to-black thing exactly twice since I got this phone refurb two months ago. Sorry, I don't know what causes it or how to avoid it, but the workaround is quick and simple enough that I'm not worried about it, yet.
Hi,
My Nexus 5 was working fine, and hasn't been dropped/damaged, but the screen has suddenly gone green and very faint. It still works but I can't figure out what the issue is. My guess is hardware?
When I say green and faint, I don't mean just a little bit, I mean a green/yellow hue all over the screen, and faint like someone has applied super high contrast in a photo editor.
Any ideas?
Phone is stock, not rooted or modified in any way.
Thanks
Leakage?

Sorry do you mean light leakage?
The phone now has yellow borders a few mils thick on all four sides, in addition to a green hue.
Perhaps
Still under warranty?

I have the same issue as of a week ago. Except mine is pink borders and a blue tint. It was fine one night, plugged it in to charge at bed time, took it off the next morning and it was stuffed!! After a day it came right but then stuffed up again a few days after that.
I'm guessing its the display but don't know why. Looks like you can get Chinese replacement ones for about 60AU$, but the procedure looks pretty full on.
Just to update, as per poster above the phone has now returned to normal after a few days. Very strange. Factory reset, cache clear etc etc didn't work, just one day started working again.
Have the same problem
I am also having the same problem. I was charging the phone on my laptop. I took it out and suddenly the screen had a bluish - pink tinge - prominent around the corners but affecting the entire screen.
Did you find any solution?
Yep as above it just righted itself within a few days. Very strange, never seen a phone have an apparent hardware issue that's unresolved by factory reset etc then just miraculously lose the problem...but that's what happened!
It definitely has to do with the display.
i changed my original display screen as it was broken with a cheap one and since then it always gets green and pink tint while charging. After sometime it turns to the normal color.
Same problem pink/blue tint over night
I bought a used nexus5 just 2 days back but it looks stunningly scratchless so its probably refurbished I guess. Any how, I put it on charge the next night of purchase with a heavy duty charger that came with my Tablet its rating is 2Amp. In morning the phone had this blue/pink tint.
Is it a problem or will it go back as most people are saying? As long as I keep on using proper charger will it come back?
OR
Should I go back and strangle the seller...?
