Studying Android's back button - Android General

Hi android users,
I'm just showing you a small "bug" found in android jellybean's BACK button in the navbar on the bottom left.
As you can clearly see in the attached images, i've zoomed in to the screen's picture 24 times to clearly see that there's is a fault in the color of the back button. There are two (almost) black dots at the point where the arrow meets its body.
Furthermore, those two black dots aren't the same color: top has a HEX of #858585 while bottom has a HEX of #8c8c8c. And as you can see in the zoomed in images, actually alot of grey looking pixels making the shape of the arrow don't have the same color, but that's not a big deal.
EDIT: I've switched my navbar theme to blue (android's "Cyan") and took pictures too, see the new attachements... apparently, those two pixels still appear even if i changed the theme. This is very weird, and makes me think that android just puts those two dots on top of the color you put. or am i wrong?
So guys, don't be afraid that your phone has dead pixels at the bottom left... it's just a design bug.

Thanks for the info bro!

After a very long time, Will not affect the normal use of mobile phones?

Hide Status Bar Bleeding in Gingerbread

As we know black notification bar of Gingerbread makes the led bleeding more noticeable in the corners. I for one don't notice it often but it IS still there in the left hand corner. The right side has minimal bleeding but it is hidden by the time display.
A solution to the left side bleeding is to download an app called Bar Control. It allows you to put any app of your choice into the left corner of the notification bar. The contrast from the icon(s) you place in that corner make the bleeding pretty much invisible. I find that I only need to place one icon to hide the issue but some may need 2 or more depending on how bad their's is. Worked out for me. I can look directly into the left corner and not see any leeding so I figure I'd share my experience. Hope this helps someone enjoy their phone a little more.
I'd like to learn how to theme for those like me who were a fan of the vanilla notification bar.
Appreciate the tip. Will give it a shot when I finally get a chance to flash CM7 as I have backlight bleed slightly in the left hand corner as well, though very minimal in the right hand corner.
Yea but whats worse, a barely visible bleed or a bright annoying icon?
Actually a great fix is one that is in EaglesBlood, where the top bar is 2-tone sort of like the Sense themes. The top tone destroys any visible signs of a backlight bleed and doesn't have a horrible icon just chilling there.
Well the icons don't bother me and its actually nice having the app u chose in the bar.

screen tint

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?

[Q] Lightbleeding across the top of the display

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.

Transparent Bar At Top of Screen

Just got an S7 about a month ago, and it's all been smooth-sailing until this morning.
I was browsing through my gallery when I noticed a transparent bar at the top of the screen, where the Status Bar usually is (The Status Bar is hidden in the Gallery app when viewing pictures). This bar is consistent throughtout all apps on the phone, including on the home screen, and the notification bar. It's a different shade to the rest of the phone, with the look of the image "behind" the bar being distinctly different from that of the rest of the screen. I really don't know how to describe it. This is driving me crazy, because it's a new phone and I'm not sure if this is issue is software-related (an overlay of some sort) or a problem with the actual screen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
PS: The phone has been dropped once, but it wasn't major enough to cause something like this to happen (I think).
EDIT: The transparent bar is exactly the same size as the status bar.
Sounds like burn-in, nothing you can do other than replace the screen
Happens to Amoled screens when you leave the same image in the same place on the screen for extended lengths of time / high brightness
It's what screensavers were designed for PCs back in the days of green screens
Sounds an awful lot like what happened to my moms phone recently and it took me a few minutes to figure it out. Maybe you accidentally took a screenshot and made that your wallpaper. So see if changing the wallpaper makes it go away.

Weird darker bar and navigation buttons appearing over other apps

Recently I've noticed that a dark low opacity stripe has appeared on my phone, from the top to about a quarter of the top of the phone, it is constantly there, although it is a lot easier to see on darker backgrounds, and alongside it there are transparent navigation buttons on the same spot they normally are. I've already done the usual reboot, changed launchers and all that, anyone else having this problem or know how to fix it? Can't really post a picture of it since screenshotting doesn't actually show the dark areas
