I'm not sure if it's XDA or a bad upload, but I can't see your pics. Can you upload to photobucket or similar and post?

nope,none on the right on my 4 pics,the blue on the left,or the white on the bottom,depends on which pic.
I cant see your pic and guessing no one sees mine

OK, what you are seeing is normal. On some apps and screens, its a notification that you cannot swipe further. I think apple called it some sort of rubber band and android had it switch to a different way of this notification due to patent issues.

Well, the white effect from the top and bottom in most apps, and the blue effect on the sides in the Gallery are a design feature of Android. Just like how iOS has its bounce back effect, Android has this 'holo' thing going for it.

wow,I have been using my HTC one s for a year and a half,and my daughters htc one,and my neighbors nexus 7,and have never seen it.It is really prominent on my phone and fugly...it looks broken,haha,like a speaker magnet sucking my TV screen...can I disable it?

That's because the HTC One S and One run the HTC Sense skin, and don't even run a stock Google OS.
I came from the One S myself... radio broke badly after a failed Maxiums 10 install.
The "glow" is new, kinda weirded me out at first but I've got used to it.

Thank you everyone,every thread has it's good and bad points.
Good point...phone is not broken and I don't have to send it back.
Good point...I have 10 posts so links and pictures will be easier,lol.
Bad point....Realized I am stuck with this ugly feature on my phone...
Time to learn some customizing.
peace

Looks like whatever rom you are running has the old xhdpi calculator from ics/jb judging by the grey bars on the side of the screen. So you have both ICS blue holo and the new white kit kat over scroll glow at the same time. #blametheromdev
good day.

The ROM I am running is what it shipped with from google play..:

Ok, I was wrong on the rom. But you did something to the phone to cause the issue. True stock doesn't look like that. Perhaps an LCD density change that you did?

It's a screenshot of a screenshot. First looks like he is in the calculator app and second he is in the gallery looking at the screenshot of the calculator app. No idea where the blue came from though. Should be white.

Request for a picture from someone who does not have backlight bleed

Okay, I know we have lots of threads with people posting pictures of their bleed screen. I want to request one member atleast who does NOT have bleed to post a picture of his screen here. I personally am getting a second G2x and since this is like my first phone in over 5 years, I'd like to have a picture ready for comparison when I get my replacement.
You could use this as a test page.
http://i.imgur.com/c4rkX.png
Alternatively, telekNesis has made a wonderful app for this exact purpose. Use that.
http://teleknesis.net/Android/APKs/ScreenBleedTest.apk
I've attached 2 images of my screen. One from far away, and one in close up. The camera brightness gets wonky when its far away, so a closeup is most recommended, and I'd like to compare this.
I would but my phone is the only camera I have at work
can post one in a couple hours
EDIT: See new pic

Maris_ said:
I used SketchBook Pro and painted the screen black, set it as my wallpaper, used LauncherPro to hide the Navigation Bar, then took a screenshot in a dark room. As far as I can tell, I don't have any unusual backlight bleed. True, it isn't the deep black my Nexus One would have had, but considering this phone is backlit, I think I'm OK. (I hope this dropbox link works)

iphone

the iphone had only one feature that our phone doesn't have.I've seen screen shots if other phones with the feature and am wondering if we can get it....
the iphone had thebottom for icons that remain when you jump from screen to screen and is configurable. what is that called and do we have something like that?

You can use shootme for screen shots and some ROMs like MIUI have it built in. And for the 4 icons that don't move alternative launchers like ADW and Launcher pro etc. have that and it wont movie when you move screen and you can change it to your needs

Look at adw ex it has a second dockbar that can be used on any screen and is configurable.
thanks for the two replies...
i found them to be buggy and/or insufficient because i lost all the htc sense features. or maybe coredroid is that good of rom to make me not want to lose what i currently have.
I flashed a mod yesterday that gave me a transparent rosie and also keeps the dock at the bottom on all the home screens. Unfortunately it isn't customizable but it is a nice little add on.

Luckily I also got the stock rosie to flash back. It should undo the mod but I haven't tried it myself cause I like the transparent look.

android battery bar

ok, a few years back, my windows phone had this really cool app, it was a bar across the top that was 1 or 2 pixels tall, multi colored that displayed the amount of battery left. someone told me it was in a rom, but I can't find it to save my life. maybe one of you has seen it or knows which mod, or anything about it, because I would LOVE to have that stupid little bar back.
Thanks

sorry if im mistaken, i dont think this feature is on cyanogen mod. It is however on most of the 'MIUI' roms, i think it is standard on there.
Is this possible to have standalone? This would complete my device.

[Q] HTC Dotview hacking ??

So I'm seeing all these images pop up with games and even other apps running on the dot view case but nothing always hit a road block
Anyone know if the developer ever released the apk or what happend like can it still be done ??
( Sorry if this isn't were it belongs its an honest question so I would think Q & A was fitting)
Nobody??
Not that I know of. There's always the chance these are just static images with the dot view app disabled

I've been using the app since he released. Keep in mind that the google play link that was posted was only the key for the app for some added features. As for the notifications, he just had the icon for the app pop up on the screen. If that makes any sense. The dot view case itself with those dots on it makes it look okay, but no work was done for the notifications themselves; the apps icon just displays on screen. I have no way of taking a photo or else i would to show what I mean.

works the same as the android case if you have ever used it. Case doesnt offer alot of protection and you have to clean your phone from all the particles that get inbetween the case and the phone. other then that i love it. still using it if that says anything

I've got some pics in the thread in my sig. They are all screenshots, but its good enough.
Beyond that, anyone should be able to make a third party/cheap case. All it uses is a small magnet in the case and a sensor under the screen to activate it.
