Hello, I noticed the color stripes that appears if the black text is on white background.
They are seen best at low brightness. They can be seen for example by opening office. The strips come from "notes" to "documents" to "locations" for example.
Especially in text documents. I tried to photo this but failed. So I made photoshop picture. Here it is. Is this a defect or a feature of pentile display?
I've noticed this on my Lumia 800.
Never noticed it on my Dell Venue Pro.
never noticed on my omnia 7 too

it's having only on office hub, but not on games hub, so I am not sure it's for any screen issue.

Because game hub have gray background, not white. Try to enable light theme and you will see stripes everywhere.
Like load"" said, try using the light theme first and see if stripes shows everywhere, if it does, then I assume its the screen itself because of pentile and clearblack, if it doesn't, try hard reset?

Hi,
I've noticed that certain apps offer to show text in "night mode", ie white text over black background, instead of the classical black text on white background.
I'm thinking in particular about ebook reader Aldiko or Email app K9-Mail.
Do you think using the night mode is draining less battery than normal mode? Or it doesn't make any difference?
I'm looking for the optimum setting in anticipation of a long air flight...

For an AMOLED screen, white on black uses less power. For an LCD, the intensity of the backlight determines the power.
For me, I hate black on white, especially reading books.. I use Endless Reader and it lets me change the fg/bg colors, I actually use a light grey on black since the Nexus One is still a little too bright at night for reading.
As for K9, it has a dark theme, but the emails themselves always seem to be Black on White, http://code.google.com/p/k9mail/issues/detail?id=1674&

Sorry for the very noob question: I have a HTC Desire, is it amoled or LCD?

AMOLED, like the Nexus One.
Thank you all.
So it's going to be white on black background for me.
I've suspected for a while that my phone has issues with it's colors, because I can't seem to use any background without it pixelating (text mostly) or shows very unsmooth color transitions from black to white.
Whenever I select an image for wallpaper, the part outside the orange area has a browning overlay on the colors that just looks wrong.
Images full of colors look very good, it's the black and white ones with fading from dark to bright that looks horrible.
Could someone do me a favor and download this image, set it as background, and tell me if it looks clear and good on your screen, and the text looks good.

It seems like I keep running into problems with this phone
Thanks in advance.
Hello!!!
Is your screen has pure white colors with a little of bluish tint or a maybe yellow one? Is the white color cold or warm? You can check and see the screen tint if you open the stock lg calculator and look on the top part (the screen where the numbers are written)
Thank you!!!
Yellow here.
mine too I had LG G2 before and it had pure white tone... I prefer the cooler tones. I would like to see more answers....
yellow for me too. Actually, the hue shifts when you place it on a table or so, then spin the unit slowly. It's making me nuts
so all the units of g pro 2 have yellow tint?
yea me too but i love the screen it is great
well if you follow the OP and use the calculator app, and look at the "top part where the numbers are written"... then yes, everyone will be yellow, since the app itself is a yellow/green colour at the top. the bottom part where the numbers you press are, it's a grey colour.
I'm not sure how that is a reliable method to check screen tint.
surely, you'd use turn the brightness to 100% then use the LG "hidden menu" screen test to bring up a white screen to see if it's got any tint? which, when I do, is a pure white screen. no hint of blue/cool colours/yellow.

on my lg g2 the top part of the calculator was grey and not yellowish. the app itself is light grey on the bottom and darker grey on the top.
Is it possible to adjust the white balance or something else in the displaysettings?
On my Nexus 5 I have a slight lightbleeding on the top of the screen. It goes all the cross the top. Have anyone seen this on their device?
The weird thing about it is, that it is almost invisible when the topbar is black, but very much visible when the topbar is e.g. blue, red, yellow, …
I'm not even sure what it is, maybe it is just a nocebo effect, I think it is there so it is and it is annoying the hell out of me.
I attached a photo of it, It was made next to a window with low backlight.

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 :-/
