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 :-/

I Have a weird problem that I have not been able to solve by myself or with ASUS "help". After having my screen replaced due to dead pixels by ASUS (not an easy feat!) I now have what I can call non existent gradients on my menus and other apps that have that nice gradient colour (like android menus have in settings and stuff), where it used to go subtly from a darker grey to a lighter grey in a seamless way now I have blocks of different grey colours...not seamless and nice. It happens not only in the menus but also in other apps, like the main blue screen of the facebook app for example. Sent back the pad and ASUS insists it is good and all normal! I have given up on them and don`t want to have sent again to the Czech Republic for repairs that don`t happen. It happens with all roms and other than that screen is great. Nice vibrant colours in video and games...but that gradient colour problem is tearing me apart. Only thing I have managed to do is replace the menus gradient with solid black with the help of xframework tools. Anyone else seen this? Should I open up the pad and see if it is a connector problem? (unlikely since all else is good), did ASUS use a wrong screen? Calibration? It is so weird.... Plus now I have to keep my brightness at maximum since the light sensor although working makes it too dim in auto mode. Is it related? Please help...can`t find help anywhere else.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 and whenever I have a black wallpaper applied I get a gray bar on the top of my screen that only shows on the home screen, lock screen, and recent apps page. It is highly visible when the brightness is set to anything below 30-40% but fades away as brightness increases. It does not show up when I use a wallpaper of any other color, it does not show up in apps that have black wallpapers or games that have black backgrounds, and a factory reset has not resolved the issue. I am hoping someone could just tell me what is happening. Thank you for your time.

Hello. I would like to share my problem with you. I own a galaxy s8 +, like many of you)
And I was faced with this fact. When I put a dark or black background on the main screen of my smartphone, I get a visible light at the top of the screen. It can be seen clearly in a dark room. Below I will attach a screenshot. But that's the thing, this light is only visible on the main home screen. In the screen verification app, on a black background, I do not observe this problem.
I want to say that the light at the top of the screen is only observed on the main screen of the phone. When viewing images or elsewhere this is not observed
What can be wrong ??
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
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
