There is a problem with the bottom right corner edge of the screen of my nexus 5 relative to holding the phone in portrait mode. A few pixels in that corner flickers different color when in motion like when I am swiping the home screen to another screen. It is more noticeable if you use the specific stock wallpaper that has the mountains with the pink/purple background. The bottom right corner of the wallpaper is dark colors so it is noticeable when you see the few pixels display different bright colors when you swipe screen to screen.
I have RMA twice already and all 3 nexus 5 seem to have that hot pixel flickering problem at the bottom right corner edge.
I am starting to be convinced that all nexus 5 have the problem and not going to bother to do another RMA again.
Mine doesn't have that problem. And you seem to be the first around here.

all the nexus 5 that I found the problem are white nexus 5 32gb with batch 312K.
I've noticed one pixel in the same corner sometimes doing this with certain backgrounds or full screen videos, but now I only see it if I look for it and no longer use those backgrounds.
It is interesting that you've had 3 different 312k models with this. Mine is a day one white 32Gb.

ya that is the same problem that I have with all the white nexus 5 I have used so far. Anything that has darker colors near that bottom right corner and moving will cause that hot pixel effect.

So I just got black nexus 5 and this one doesn't have the hot pixel problem that I had with the 3 white nexus 5 before.
I noticed Pink Streaks yesterday after owning the phone for 6.5 months. It only appears on a dark or black screen (for instance navigation buttons on the bottom of phone) I am actually on the phone with Google right now, I bought it from google. Do not go to LG with the issue. They will ask you to ship the phone with a 7-10 turnaround to fix it. I will post again in a bit once I have a resolution from this Google Rep that I am on the phone with.
Make sure to have your Order number from Google and your IMEI number available. You can get your order number from your Google Wallet account.

And Google being amazingly accommodating is sending me a brand new phone and asking to send the only one back. Excellent.
I used this link to begin the process. You enter your phone number and it calls you. That was a fantastic Customer Service call.

I have a Note edge with Tmobile USA. No root or anything special done to it
I had a weird issue where there was like a line going down from top to bottom of my screen. it was about 1 pixel in width and very noticable on yellow or red backgrounds. For example, on snapchat's yellow splash screen, I'd see a green line. Or on youtube's red bar, I'd see a black line.
I contacted Samsung support and the agent had no idea, but suggested I removed the battery and put it back in to see if I'd get lucky. Strangely enough... the line is gone after that. Any idea what could cause something like this? Hoping it doesn't happen again, but I'm keeping a close eye on things.
I have the same issue but it's a red vertical line. Removing the battery did not fix it.
it has a deadpixel bro, mine has that issue to 1 pixel and amonth later it has about 5 to 6 pixel ,i have replaced my screen with
fixez.com for USD 189.99
Hi all, let's get straight to the point. I'm about to buy a new phone, probably the s6, but I'm concerned about one thing: how many of you have experienced screen burn in? I know it's a common thing with amoled displays. I'm not talking about the design flaw because of which you can see a sort of rectangular outline (only visible with full brightness outside and with a white screen) on the display (I'm not entire sure of this, I've read some reports about it though and I don't think it would bother me), but I'm talking about impressed/ghost images like status bar/text/icons/etc. that appear even if you change image on the screen. Hope I was clear enough, english isn't my native tongue. Thanks for the help!
i had an s2 - no burn in, s4 - no burn in, s6 - no burn in so far
so i think unless you keep the screen on for hours every single day on max brightness on the same image, it is very unlikely to get burn in.
Been having Samsung devices since s3 never got one and I got all note and s series

Bought at AT&T, may 6 2015, my Galaxy S6. Not burn in. I have no problems with my phone so far.

Ive had the S1, S2, S3, S3 LTE, S4, S5 and now the S6.
I have never had burn in on any of these phones. The S4 I used daily for 2 years and still no burn in.
If you use the device normally and don't leave one thing on the display for hours on a high brightness then burn in is not a problem.
2 month old S6 here, half brightness with auto mode. Mark left by status bar and also dirty screen effect. Looking at a grey screen I see marks that could quite possibly be burn from the keyboard too.
After 3 months, no burnin. However there's a noticeable difference between the status bar and the rest of the screen. The screen has yellowed slightly

Hi guys, I just got my note 5 today from t-mobile. I use gray wallpaper for the home screen and lock screen, out of no where there are 3 black lines in the middle of the screen whenever I turn the brightness down. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? Or else I might need to get a new one. Only happen with gray color, nothing else.

yep getting my new note 5 again... sigh
I have that same issue but I am not sure I could get a replacement. It unless shows up with grey wallpaper and it doesn't show up in light. So you can't really see it. What might you recomend?
Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk
It is common on amoled screens it is how they are made they only show up on gray backgrounds, no amount of swapping will make a difference there will be some type of black lines or a pinkish tint on grey backgrounds this has happened since the s4 era.

Hey. Do u also have problem with sgs8/8+ and their red screen or even pink ??
On the internet i can see that many clients has this problem and samsung says that "this must be like it is"... so ?
Do we have #PinkGate??
My samsung have also redish whole screen.
Nothing ? No one ?
Yeah, i returned mine. Top half of screen was red. Bottom half was green. Any screen mode other than adaptive just made it worse.
Dud u get new one without this crap ? Or u just wanna cash back ??
I've exchanged 4 with my cell provider before getting a perfect one
Was just about to post a similar topic, think I'm going to be taking this one back today, my first one had a red hue down the sides and this one appears to have a pink lower half that I am trying to live with but cannot...
My first one was perfect but it had broken speaker. Then had to try another two to finally get acceptable one. Not perfect, it goes pink-ish on specific angle, but it's not that bad. I really suggest to buy those phones in store so you can check it and save yourself some time.
this problem was addressed and fixed by an update as far as i know...

It's a hardware problem, so it can't be fixed by software. All the update did was allow you to mess with the RGB sliders and it's only available in the "Adaptive Display" mode. This option doesn't help if your display has multiple different hues such as a top reddish hue and a bottom greenish hue. It also is in "Adaptive Display" mode which is the least colour accurate mode.
This is a well-documented issue, like anything AMOLED, there can be a lot of variation from panel to panel. You should be able to go to the retailer and swap it out.

So it was just another"marketing stunt" by samsung.mine doesn't have it but reading about it when I first got my s8+,thought it was a software problem.thanks for the clarification
On my third S8+ due to pink hues on the display. My fourth should be delivered on Monday. Fingers crossed that it has a good screen and won't have to be exchanged.

In my opinion, this is ridiculus - cuz this phone costs really a lot of money and samsung dont give a **** about customers and samsungs problem with screen. Samsung is mocking to telling us that "update" will solve "your" Problem.
Im from Poland and here samsung store says "its a advantage of this PRODUCT"...... crapy telling
My device has a pretty messed up display, to the point where the software controls that Samsung has added are just enough to solve the problem. I have the cool / warm slider all the way to the right (warm), because this cancels out the green tint a bit. From advanced settings I have the green slider at about 20%, the red slider at about 80%, and the blue slider at 100%.
And because this wasn't enough, the display has a warm glow at the edges. Thankfully, Samsung has a software solution for this, and it works by adding a cool tint at the edges to counter-act the warm tint. But this solution isn't perfect, as the warm tint disappears when the display is looked at in an angle, and the blue software-added tint becomes visible.
I haven't returned my device because the problem is fully solvable through software, although I am a bit disappointed that a phone that cost over $900 has problems that the user has to put effort in to solve.
Had to go through 4 phones from my carrier before getting a perfect screen even tilting the phone I have no red and in any display mode no red or pink at all... there should not be a bandaid fix for a 900$ phone... having to adjust settings is gonna hurt resale value also

It's not "fully" solvable through software. The appearance of the display changes when tilted, just as you said. I'm really hopeful that the replacement I receive via UPS tomorrow has a quality display. Even after playing with the advanced display settings on and off for days, I cannot get rid of the heavy pink tint at the bottom of my current (3rd) phone's display. It's a real shame.
Well, my fourth device arrived today and it's basically as bad as all of the others. This time it has an even pink tint along every edge of the display. This is getting old. I really hope that this issue doesn't carry over to the Note 8.
I went through 4 Nexus 6Ps to find one that had an even screen tone. This is a problem faced by all AMOLED screen. My S8+ isnt the best but it's not that bad either.

I've had the Galaxy SIII, two S4's, S5, Note 4, two Note Edges, two Note 5's, S7, two S7 Edge's, three Note 7's, three Gear Fit2's, two Gear S3's and four S8+'s. All AMOLED displays.
The ONLY one with which I've had problems is the S8+. This is NOT a problem with ALL AMOLED displays. This is clearly a manufacturing defect with the S8, as can be evidenced by Samsung's OTA that adds "corrective" features to the advanced display settings. Please don't try to make excuses for them.

I agree it's bad and shouldn't be happening and my S8 screen isn't entirely uniform but as I said, the 6Ps I had and Nexus 6 was terrible for it too.

Mine had a slight pinkish tint to the bottom of it, but i dialed *#15987# on the phone and then pressed 3 to set it to -9 overall... this appears to do the trick for me.
