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.
Mine flickers when going out of flipboard to the homescreen
None here friend. All brightness levels.

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.

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.

I found smearing also happens not only in pure black background.
For example in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2327389
The first post of the thread smears if I read with xda app using "xda free" display style (dark theme) setting. The first post has dark blue text in dark grey background.
I tried to capture a video but the phenomena cannot be seen in video.
Sent from my GT-I9500
Still, there are people here who keep on repeating smearing is fixed.
It's not and won't be due to its hardware nature. /working theory /
"Congratulations" to all the reviewers who missed such an easily to notice problem. I noticed it 5 minutes after launching this phone for the first time...
Couldn't believe my own eyes, almost cried after spending so much money on this device.

Might sound silly, I have tried to replicate this issue on my s4, I honestly cannot see the problem. Am I the only one? Normally I am the first to notice things like this, making me think that the issue is either sporadic or that samsung changed something in more recent units, (mine is about 3 weeks old)

Make a paint document and fill it with pure black. Then delete a white space in the middle. Open it from the phone and move the white dot around. If you get no smearing then - you have a normal phone and we have deffective units, which is not nice, but can be repared; or your brightness is very high. Lower brightness exaggerates the problem.
However, since MEA Samsung changed Settings' background to grey from black, which for me is a sign that they know about it and that's a hardware limitation. Pixels "lag", because it's the first time since Galaxy S that black actually is "turned off".
It's worse with grey on black than it is with white on black and also it gets worse the lower you have the screen brightness. grey on black at minimum brightness is an absolute mess on my phone. But i should stress you dont really see the problem in normal usage at all.
Hi, on firmware mdm so not the newest. I'll do further testing tomorrow
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Premium HD app
The darker the screen is, the more noticeable the smearing becomes.Touchwiz menus were black and now are grey, thats how samsung thought of to fix this but in certain apps with real black background it all comes alive again so i think this is a hardware issue as many agree also and its a bit of a let down to Samsung Quality Standards when we pay so much for a flaship device like this. Definitely there is room for improvment with this amoled screens.

I have not noticed any screen smearing till now.
Right, I have tested using the white dot in the middle of a true black image.
I can confirm the issue does occur, but only when the screen is set to or just above minimum and not to the extent I see it as a problem, I still cannot seem to replicate the issue on settings window even at minimum brightness.
For me, this is a none issue however If the issue is more prominent on some screens I can understand how it would be annoying.
Cheers

I may be one of the few to not actually give a rat's ass. I didn't care about it when the settings window was truly black and I don't care now when it's LCD-ish black (greyish-black).

Yep..it is not an issue for me...i have none of those probs while playing games or watching movies or wherever screen needs to show off itself..so y shud i care if my settings looks grey or there is smearing on some xda post..its not like m gonna read it while scrolling or anything..
I wud still prefer amoled over lcd anyday..
Again its just my opinion..everybody has a different view and i respect it..

with high brightness you will not notice the smearing problem. With low brightness is when you can notice it
Just try to read articles in Pocket app or in feedly using black themes.
I switched to ligtht/white themes killing battery life but avoiding smearing. Now my device lasts 3h screen time at best. F... great.
Amoled screen that's not really compatible with true black! The most advertised benefit of amoled is gone with this flawed screen.
What a shame.

Are you 100% sure about that? If that's really the case, it's probably some feature in the kernel that actually turns off pixels completely.

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

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.

Try a factory reset, there is no screen burn in on LCDs
i can confirm that this is true while it looks like burn in once you turn the screen off for a while it will disappear its, more of a ghost image. use amoled Burn in fixer form the play store or an all grey image and you'll be able to see it where the status bar is located.
This was really bad on some v10s but I haven't experienced it yet on my v20. It's not permanent like led burn in. It's a ghost image.
On my v10 it showed up when I used an app like my Word text game which kept the same image on the screen for a while. It was also worse/showed up faster the brighter I had the screen.
Glad I haven't seen it on the v20!
You also can't screen capture screen burn as that is hardware, this looks like a software bug. Tho not completely understanding your first post.

i recently got this as well.. Sad that it has happened so quickly for me... Rebooting and shutting down didnt help at all. Nor do I thing factory reseting would either. It showed up before I was going to sleep so I locked it and went to bed. It went away the next morning. It freaked me out and made me think I was going to need to get a replacement but all is good.
Yeah I realized afer I finally woke up that you can't screen cap that lol.
It did it again last night at work. It was Facebook yet again. I played a few YouTube vids and made it go away.
Sent from my LG-H910 using Tapatalk
I haven't had the luck to experience that. But with IPS panels it is bound to disappear at some point. Now, you are only missing to find the way to generate the ghost image once again. IF it only happens with specific apps, or if it happens with everything in general.
So far it only been with Facebook in landscape mode

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
Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
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.
