Hi all, I bought S8+ and when I booted up and went to the settings I saw at the edges of the phone a blue "stripe" that goes across the status bar and around the edges. This is happening only on white background, I think it is the screen bleeding but I want to other opinions.
You sure you didn't get a notification? It's a notification edge lighting. Or did it stay on the entire time

No, I know when I get a notification the blue light shines. But this color is more sky blue and it only appears on white backgrounds. Like a blue tinted stripe, dont know how to describe it better.

Not trying to make you sound dumb, sorry. Did you angle the phone also sometimes if gives of a glow. If that's not the case then i dunno. Never noticed it on mine other than typical light effects of the curve

I checked mine it also does it, but when i tilt it left and right it goes away. If yours don't that's weird.

No I don't see anything like that.
I experienced it with my S8 Plus, but it was a pinkish color just on the edges. It was only visible with a solid white background. After the latest update (Sprint), I had the option of adjusting just the colors in the edges. The update & adjustment fixed the problem for me

Hi,
My nexus s is new and since day 1 i just use it with 0 brightness.after hours of exploring, i noticed that when i open up the keyboard for more than 10secs and drag down the notification bar the keyboard boxes can still be clearly seen.its like a shadow of the keyboard imprinted in the notifiaction.noticed this in market as well when searching for apps the keyboard shadow can be clearly seen.also more than 5 sec static on your homescreen,after that i drag down i can clearly see the icons shadows in the grey notifocation bar. Is this normal? All of you have this behavior when on 0 brightness?or do i have a weak display?its kind of annoying sometimes.

Its sort of a burn image. The blues fade out and get a yellow haze. You can test this by displaying a blue image for example google image blue and zoom in. Auto brightness and sleeping the ohone when not using will keep the colors rich. I had a vibrant that did the same thing.

Sucks but it cant be fixed without replacing the phone/screen

Hmm interesting.. maybe the stock washed out with yellow tint screen is causing the image retentions.ill soon find that out when i root my phone.thanks for the insight bro

Ok, so I do not know if anyone have noticed this already, but you might find this interesting.
When you pass your finger over the Lockscreen without actually touching it the phone draws a ripple effect along the path of your finger,
Here's what I found; if you hold your finger steady close enough over the screen without touching all the way, you can see your pulse!!
The way I see it is, unlike the s4's lockscreen where you have a dot following you while you hover, the note's lockscreen draws a circular ripple below your finger that changes in area as you get closer. So, if you don't change the distance between your finger and the screen, the only thing that is changing the capacitance between your finger and the screen is actually your own pulse fluctuating the electrostatic energy in your finger.
If you've read so far I hope I haven't wasted your time. I just wanted to share
Was skeptical but yep seems to work not sure my pulse is that fast though
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk 4
Can a app be built arround this ? It's pretty cool
It's NOT your pulse. It's just an effect.
Try hovering your S Pen over the screen = same thing.

For those amongst us who are A, incapable of smell, or B, completely deprived of any observational skills?
I guess everyone knows, but if not this one works.
Maybe stupid of me, but when someone mentioned making an app for it.

Hello
I noticed that the colors in the notification bar are a little bit different than the rest of the screen, I notice that after a while since I updated to the official KitKat.
I don't know if this a Manufacturer defect or its not
The problem can be seen more clearly in gray colors.
I hope you check if this problem is on your device or not

I can't understand what you mean. Maybe a photo of your problem would be useful.

And when you scroll down right or left in black you find some purple smudges.
Some say it is normal bcuz samsung used some low quality equipment. And most of people have this.
Where is ur flipboard icon. Concentrate on it while u scroll between pages. You will find a black trace behind it.

take screenshot
copy it to your computer
compare between your screen and your truly phone screen
and write here back
This is just an issue of uneven aging of the individual LED's. Statusbar stays black most of the time so the pixels do not age as fast as other pixels on the screen.
Within time this makes statusbar appear more bright than the rest of the screen.
My 4 year old and still kicking strong Galaxy S1 (I9000) has this noticeable on any evenly colored image.
Now that I know of this, I use Tinted statusbar mod (requires Xposed) to keep statusbar from being black all the time. This means the LED's in statusbar will also age faster = more so with the rest of the screen.
I've played with all Note5's and Edge + phones on display and all of them had screen "flickering" present on high brightness and a white background, like the YouTube search feed or browser home page. It kinda seemed annoying, and I was wondering if you guys see it too. Everyone that I pointed it out to, saw the flickering. It's not bothersome, but I am wondering if it can get annoying under lower brightness conditions, during the night for example. It did seem more prominent on the edge+, but its visible on the note too. All the display model note 4's and s6's did not have such an issue.

No flickering here, but my brightness is set on half or a little higher than that.

It's the damn overheat protect on the display. It only happens when screen is cranked up. It happened on note 3, custom kernel can get rid of it.

Hey Guys,
Just came from a defective nexus 6 and got myself a Samsung S6. This phone is very snappy with its response times to actions I make I'd just like to increase the utilization of the super AMOLED screen. I'm running Nova launcher and set my home screen backround to an all black photo but am getting this grey bar on the top of my screen. I believe it comes from the grey block that drops down with a trash can icon to delete home screen items using the stock touchwiz launcher. Anybody know how to get rid of it?
Also, with the lock screen. I've set my lock screen backround to be black aswel to reduce the amount of power used by the screen, for some reason when setting a black backround the lock screen's backround shows up as light grey?
My auto brightness setting is turned off BTW.

The grey bar is still there though. It's hardly noticeable until you look closely but it is there
Sent from my SM-G920W8 using Tapatalk
I've noticed that too long back, it's very minimal and can be ignored on the home screen but when opening recent panel with all apps closed it's very much visible on top and bottom with grey lines, using a display tester app shows proper blacks and no such grey stripes exist, idk what's on with it but it's crazy so I've stopped using black wallpapers.
Lockscreen does get all grey and that's a software thing, you can use HiLocker or something else to get rid of it.

For future users facing the grey bar issue. I factory wiped my phone due to a very fast battery drain I was experiencing and the grey bar is mysteriously gone ! My battery drain is also gone even though I restored all of the same apps I had on before.
