Woke up today to see that my screen display has somehow shrunk and now I have a black border and my display does not fill up the entire screen panel. All apps get cutoff by this new black border. Is this a setting or something? I looked through the whole phone setting and couldn't find anything that would make this change or reverse it. Please help. I guess another way of saying it is the screen doesnt stretch to fill up the entire panel like it normally should.

Try with adb from pc use command prompt to type
adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,0
Or use terminal emulator type as below
su
wm overscan 0,0,0,0
Need root.
Post the picture so can see if it does not help
I dont have root. Can I do any of this without root?

I have attached the pictures. The 3 phone pics show the odd black border or the screen just shrinking in as the corner contours are still there from the edges. The Guardian Tales image is from taking a screen shot using the Power + Vloume Down key combo and takes a picture of the whole screen without the border issue. Its really odd.

I still don't understand your problem, I don't see anything wrong with the picture. And for the screenshot it will be always perfect as those are not related to the display.
If you look at picture 4, bottom right corner, the KONG logo is cutoff, it should look like picture 1. The black border in pictures 2 and 3 shouldnt be there, the homescreen should be fully covering the display and not have that thick of black broder cuase the display shrunk for some reason.
your display is not shrinking, the LCD is failing.

What do you mean failing? Its brand new and not even like 2 months old @[email protected]
Not sure if there is a setting or not, but my phone has been the same way since purchase. The screen does not go right to the end of the bezels. Some apps are cut off in each of the corners, because it seems it's scanning the image to a perfect 90 degree corner, meanwhile the screen itself not a 90 degree corner, but more of a concave corner. Because of this, the app is getting cut off in the corners, not much, but some.
I always assumed it was due to the way OnePlus has its screen and apps not properly scaling to the screen corners. Some apps have black bars on the side and it's not known or shown. Other apps that scale up to full screen in landscape mode, to the edges of the screen, those are the ones that get cut off at the corners.
In your picture, it's the same, that image is being scaled up to full screen in landscape, since the word Kong is in the far bottom right corner, it is cut off when scaled up.

Hey all, I was using SPB MS3 and went into the file explorer to find that the bottom bar of the lifestyle panel was stuck on the screen. This was annoying so I soft-resetted the device, but it didn't go away. I did a hard reset, and now it is really faint but it is still annoying, and I just flashed an entirely different ROM and it is even fainter, but still a problem.
Any way to fix this? I'll post screenies to make it easier to understand.
i think your refering to what is called "burn-in". When an image is left on an lcd screen for a long time, you can still see that image very faintly even after the image is removed from the screen. This is common for people who leave their lcd tv on one station for a long time and that stations logo gets "burnt-in" to the screen.
A solution to this is to make your entire screen white for about 10-15min. So get a .jpg or any picture thats just plain white, open it in album and view it in fullscreen for 10-15min and it should clear up your screen.
Thanks for the advice, but it has gone now after a bit of use.

Incredible I didn't think you could do that too easily with an lcd.
Did you leave the screen on when you went to sleep or something? You must have had it on one image for a pretty long time
Hi,
After powering on my Xoom today, I saw there is a horizontal dotted black line across the screen (Vertical if i put the screen on portrait mode)
Going into Fastboot mode, the dotted line becomes white color. Anyone experience this before and any solution to fix it?

I can't seem to pull up the photo, but it sounds like a hardware issue from the way you're describing it. Your only choice is to send it to MOTO for repair. Since there's no way to prove it wan't from abuse you'll likely have to pay for the repair. :-(
From the picture it seems to be hardware related.
Use the following two tools to see if its not a "stuck pixel" problem.
Display Checker
Display Checker will help you identify dead pixels
Pixel Fixer
If an LCD display is subjected to physical shock, this could cause one or more TAB connections to fail inside the display. This failure is often caused by horizontally flexing the chassis (e.g., while wall mounting or transporting a display face up/down) or simple failure of the adhesive holding the TAB against the glass. TAB faults require replacement of the LCD display module itself. If these connections were to fail, the effect would be that an entire row or column of pixels would fail to activate. This causes a horizontal or vertical black line to appear on the display while the rest of the display would appear normal. The horizontal failure runs from edge to edge; the vertical failure runs from top to bottom.

Quote from wikipedia.
That looks like your problem.
I use a black background for both my lock screen and home screen. Just this morning I noticed that sometimes after I unlock my screen, or hit the home button and return to my home screen after being in an app, I get artifacts that pop up on my screen for a second or two. Usually on the left hand side.
They arent truly "artifacts", it looks as though its images of the icons on my home screen flashing up on my screen for like 1-2 seconds then dissappearing. I have also seen a little checkerboarding pop up as well
This is sort of hard to explain through text. I guess I'd have to record a video and post it here, but I'm at work and cant do that until later. If anyone knows what im talking about or has had this problem, what did you do to fix it?
Hi,
Recently, while using the WhatsApp i was deleting one mesg.. after deletion, strangely one horizontal black line came up.
Initially i thought its an application issue or might be screen refresh issue.
I rebooted the phone in recovery, cleared cache but it didnt worked.
Then i formatted the SD card, made Phone a factory reset, both from phone settings and from recovery mode... but issue is still there.
I am now clueless... how to remove it.
Any help guys .... how do i remove this black line ???
Do you see this black line
in recovery mode?
during the bootanimation?
on your homescreen?
or just in single apps?
If the line is visible all the time its very likely a hardware issue. LCD panels are usually wired in horizontal lines. So maybe one of this connections is broken...

I saw this line in all the places, start from boot screen showing as GT-I5801, at recovery and all places...
Is it a virus or hw issue..?

Well, this CAN be a virus. But todays malware is more about stealing passwords from your device instead of drawing black lines on your screen. And I don't think it's even possible to draw the black line in recovery and during the GT-I5800 logo.
I'm 99% sure it's a hardware fault. You can take a screenshot with Android and check if the line is in the picture (this would be a GPU issue) or on the exact same place on your device-screen and not in the screenshot (this would be a hardware screen issue).
That's the way these devices show us, they're getting old
Have a nice day :good:

Thanks for providing workaround to find the root cause...
Can you name any tool or method by which i can take a snapshot of screen...?

Doesn't your ROM provide a screenshot utility in the power-menu (pressing power button 2 seconds)?
If not, search the PlayStore for "screenshooter" or similar keywords.
And (just for my own interest :silly, does the screen responds to your finger on the black line. Like when you are scrolling through a list and your finger moves across the black line on the screen, does the screen recognize this as one touch action. Or does it break at this line and start a new touch action right after your finger is on the working part of the screen again?
You can test this by slowly (I mean really slowly) moving a widget on your homescreen over the black line. If the touch input is also broken on the black line, the widget would drop when your finger reach the black line. Else, the touch-part of the screen is working properly (Hope this is somehow understandable :laugh
Hi, I'm having some issues with my opo. So, a few weeks ago, my phone suddenly had ghost touch and unresponsive screen. I fix that by flashing boeffla(is my spelling right? ) kernel and adding some lines in build.prop to fix dithering, and both fix come from this forum. Well, it does fix the ghost touch problem.
But, the lower bottom part of the screen is still not working, including the capacitive key. When I dug this forum, I found that 1 of the possible fix is to insulate/isolate the digitizer with the chassis. Sadly, I don't have the tools(namely hair dryer to separate the screen with body) and have no money to buy it. My questions are :
1. Could I disassemble the screen without hairdryer? And if I could, is it risky? I don't have the money to buy replacement screen either if I mess up the process
2. As a workaround, I try to modify screen size, dpi, and overscan through terminal emulator. To a certain extent it works. But, as the dead zone is the bottom part of the screen, is there any command or way to resize the screen so that the resized screen is from topmost until the part where the screen still work? (resized said screen result is placed in the middle of the screen, so I can only resize it to a small size, it's a bit impractical)
3. If I overscan the bottom part of the screen until past the unresponsive area, some part of some apps are "drowned"(for the lack of better term) meaning that some buttons are not visible (example: opera browser). Any solution about this?
I'm sorry if my questions are noob's questions(and a lengthy one at that, too). Please help me and thank you so much for your help

AFAIK,there's no permanent fix except changing your display which doesn't cost much.
No,only hairdryer won't work,you need a professional heat system to get the digitizer out of the lcd.
I guess the only possible solution I can see is changing your display for the sake of your own good.
It costs only 28 USD.
