S2 blow Nexus away,,,,Nexus/Note screen has serious defect!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asb123:
Okay, I took a picture of my phone. This is loading a picture of white from google at zero brightness.

Notice the change in colour of the white as you move left to right. (sorry the picture isn't rotated)

Keep in mind that the effect is even worse in person.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chjade84:
Updated the first post with a "defects" section. Thanks to all of those who submitted pictures of true defects.

Also, sorry about your luck! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmmarck:
Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SkaDiZ:
I have the "Tint Fade at 0% brightness" problem too... :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ox41464b:
So... is this normal ? :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmmarck:
What are your settings there? The banding is fairly noticeable...:(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chjade84:
Is that at 0% brightness? I've seen a lot of those pictures around so it's definitely common. I wouldn't say it's acceptable though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoadHazard:
What do you guys think of the color tint on this one (bought today)?

To make the difference between the left and the right side of the screen even more obvious:

What the Nexus is trying to display is a completely grey image (RGB: 128,128,128).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmattp:
I just sent mine in for warranty repair because the screen had several defects.

It showed purple hue at low brightness, greenish/yellow hue at max brightness, showed specks or other distortion (it changed sometimes) when using night mode on the clock app, gradient banding, and some ghosting. Ghosting usually happened when viewing the settings screen after displaying the app drawer.

I just dropped the phone off at UPS yesterday. They should get it by Monday, and then it should be about a 10 day turn around, and then another 5-7 days to get it back. I'll come back and post the results if anyone is interested.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tannor:
Yeah I am curious if they really fix it all...I have banding even at high brightness..but only on grey screens, I can go back to verizon and get a refurb/exchange but tired of playing that game.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrmadcat:
i get weird.black areas on a dark screen but.only when i open the clock and the.tap.to.dim why would this.be?

edit:

i just took a screenshot to post and it's not on there so i guess it must be the pixels

its like a curve of the top and bottom of the screen is completely black whereas the rest of the screen is dark grey.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] d_dee:
my screen is looks ugly with grayscale banding in low light, aside it have a bright line at top and bottom of the screen, too bad my device is not in warrantly, what can i do :(

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DarkFox002:
My screen had the light banding on light colored screens, it didn't bother me much just gave it the brushed metal look ;).

Then on a cold day I noticed a green line at the top of the screen, then it disappeared. I then I noticed that on the top and bottom of the screen there was a line at full brightness. This was not noticeable with the buttons and notification bar at the top and bottom just on colored screens.

I sent it in last week and it looks great now. No banding, lines are gone, and no odd colors that I can tell.

I looked at a demo GIII unit at Tmobile and was surprised at how bad of screen burn in it had, I didn't think that would happen these days.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] d_dee:
i believe that samsung s3 and note2 have the best screen than Gnex
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alangrig:
Believe me not. I've tested right in the shop my Gnexus against both S3 and Note2. Gnexus screen way brighter and crispier.

Yes, I have the Galaxy S2 and it is the same s***. Amoled? Never again!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Crwolv:
I'm letting you know the settings I'm giving you are awesome but don't let your kids use it or have it on longer than 2 minutes before the screen shuts down because it will burn in the letters it has on my screen very lightly ! here goes. Franco kernel....Color multipliers 300/300/400 (if you bought them all up to 400 the white will be coming cream looking white so don't do it) gammas green/red/blue 30/30/30. Omap gamma 1.2 Trinity contrast -16. If u do these settings the screen is amazing but amoled so once Again...be carful and make screen go off in 2 min or less. Franco app is in play store and u can flash straight from it(if rooted of course)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akkay1:
Very helpfull and informative post mate. Thanks for sharing this with us
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] deadkey76:
but the multiplier over 250 isn't dangerous for the amoled display? :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SertaGE:
My phone's screen is the same. What can i do for a solution? or Is it possible for a solution to this problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] highvista:
My screen had this same defect, or possibly a bit worse. It made it especially unpleasant to read eBooks with black text against a light/white background. I finally took the time to resurrect my Nexus One and returned the Galaxy Nexus to Samsung for a screen replacement, under warranty. It's at Samsung's repair center in Plano, TX, right now. I'm crossing my fingers I'll get a screen that doesn't have this problem or some new one.

In the meantime, it's kinda neat that the Nexus One is still doing the job for me. It has its quirks, but it's a great phone. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SertaGE:
Thanks for answer.

I'll go to the service to carry out repairs under warranty.

I hope, your problem resolved and me to..

Please give me the latest news.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pommes_Schranke:
Did the same thing yesterday. Sent in my GNex because of screen problems and revived my Nexus One.

My N1's screen is still as good as it was at day 1 (bought it in the first days after the release and used it for more than two years). The GNex screen on the contrary s%cked in comparison to day 1 (after 1 year) :(.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] highvista:
Yeah, the N1 is still a heck of a phone. :good:

I received an email update from Samsung on Monday indicating that my repair is on hold, waiting for parts. I'm assuming that part is a screen, which is good news, since that means they concur that it needs replacing. I don't know if this is standard operating procedure or if I'm in for a long wait. The original estimate for the repair to be done was March 7, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I'll hear something more soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SertaGE:
I sent my device service for the same problem. I'm waiting and I'm so bored.

Could you tell me when your device returned?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wossner:

You are lucky, guys. I have no nexus one to replace gn for a while. Im waiting for you to tell us some good news about Samsung assistance.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] highvista:
I received an email update yesterday from Samsung indicating that my phone had been repaired and shipped out. So the notice that I got saying the repair was waiting for parts didn't seem to slow things down at all. The delivery date is Friday, March 8. The email indicates that they did replace the screen. Here's the relevant info:

Original Problem:

TECHNICAL INQUIRY - LCD / TOUCH PANEL / LED - LCD SEGMENT/LINE MISSING

Problem found:

LCD BLANK/SEG. MISSING/LINES

Solution:

REPLACED LCD - REPLACED TOUCHPANEL

It looks like they agreed that the LCD was defective. Very cool. :) Once I get the phone back up and running and can examine the screen in detail, I'll post on the condition of the new screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] highvista:
I've restored my Galaxy Nexus and fully examined the new screen. It looks great--on par with the screen of the Nexus One that I've been using for the last two weeks while waiting for the return of the GN. Based on my experience, I'd definitely recommend getting the screen replaced if you're still under warranty and have the problem of horizontal striping. I lived with it for a long time, but it doesn't look like it is a normal or acceptable condition of the GN's screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wossner:
I guess you locked bootloader and flashed stock 4.2.2 before sending it away for replacement
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] highvista:
Yeah, I did lock the bootloader, wiped everythng, and flashed 4.1.2--since that's the version of the OS I'm still using. Samsung told me that they would wipe the phone and install the latest updates, but I don't think they really did anything to the software on the phone--it was still at 4.1.2 when I got it back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] onyx1980:
Great thread, that was bugging me for so long, on my galaxy nexus screen, every color has a green hue to it, it became extremely visible on white and bright colors. Some of my friends told me it's directly relevant to where the phone has been made. It seems that the units that has been entirely made in Korea, doesn't have this issue, and the white's are pretty much normal and colors are much accurate , but the made in China units suffer from the inaccurate color combinations , and the mostly green tint, is pretty much noticeable when compared to a made in Korea unit. Is that any true, or it's just a unlucky coincidence?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DreamLinker:
Hi,

my Gnex had a yellowish tint on entire display, but i have resolved the problem setting up colors with trickster mod.

The other issue is that the top half of the display is a bit darker than the bottom half, it looks to be a little yellowish than half bottom.

I noticed also that loking at the display at about 45° from bottom to top the color seems to become uniform.

Can be this problem due to the fact that the touch screen is curved from the half to bottom and not from the half to top?

The display itself is just flat and this may create a sort of refraction thru the touch glass.

What about your gnex devices?

Thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] makska:
I have exactly the same problem.

Did you find a fix for that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DreamLinker:
R: Galaxy Nexus Screen - What's Normal, What's Not. (Photos!)

Did you replace the screen by yourself? This is very strange, it seems to be an hardware incompatibility.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cyberon:
Hi guys, i am having a few issues on my Gnex screen, black spots and burn in, i was going to live with that because the idea of not having my smartphone for 2/3 weeks is kind of annoying.

The thing is that yesterday it fell from my pocket and now i have two 1mm scratches on the glass, nothing big but also really annoying.

My question is when you sent your phones to Samsung did they replaced the lcd and glass?

I know they are glued together so there's a small chance I'll get a new lcd+glass right?

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DreamLinker:
R: Galaxy Nexus Screen - What's Normal, What's Not. (Photos!)

Hi, the display itself and the glass are glued, generally if you need to change the glass they will change also the display.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cyberon:
In my case they will change the display, will they change the glass also?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] highvista:
I would think so. When they replaced my defective display, they also made note that they changed out the touch panel, which I believe is integrated with the glass. But I can't tell by looking at my glass if it's the same or not, since I didn't have any marks on the original display.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cyberon:
I am gonna send it to Samsung, any advises on what i should write on the warranty reclamation?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] highvista:
When I called Samsung to start the warranty process, I just described the problem I was seeing with the screen. Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PocketSmiley:
I took my dad's Galaxy Nexus since he's not using it anyway, and I'm not sure if it's out of warranty or not, but the image retention struck me first.

First time seeing AMOLED screen and despite this image retention it is quite amazing, with the true unlit black, the perfect viewing angles, and the bright vividness.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] venom_762:
I just installed a new diplay and its the best one so far, no banding at all. The only issue is that the menu color have a greenish tint to it. But I think its whats a correct display should be. just like this pict. Mine looks like the one the right in this picture. It also has the horible black spots on the black screen, what are the odds of getting one without the spots.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nahov91:
Oh my godness, after looking at these photos I can see, that my screen is a really bad one :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wuodland:
It's perfectly normal. The new screen looks great. Congo :D

Most of us GNex users have a slight tint.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheGame7:
I found a good fix over on the Console Discussions forums. It took 45 minutes for me, but it works. Also noticed the screen is a little bit more dim after the fix, but I would prefer a dim screen over a burned in image a not so family friendly image that my friend decided to leave my phone on to.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cyberon:
HI guys, after nearly a month, my GNex came back and the good news are that they replaced the glass :) , the bad news are that the new screen as a really intense greenish tint so i didn`t accept the reparation and it`s back at Samsung.

I know you guys say the tint is normal, but my previous screen didn`t have it, and FNAC`s staff where intrigued by it, lets hope the second screen doesn't have any issues.

So quick heads up for someone with a scratched screen, send it to Samsung and you have a big chance of getting a pristine new glass but also a greenish screen! :silly:

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] axne1:
The tint can be adjusted using Franco's Kernel. Or any kernel with color control.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cyberon:
Yep, i know that, but the original screen didn't had any tint and it's on warranty so they must have a few good ones arround. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gladden237:
burn in?

is it normal for the gnex screen to have burn in? like when i set my wallpaper to a white background- for example, i can see the shadow of my keyboard on the screen/ and when i toggle my navbar and status bar, the white is clearly brighter in the location it used to be. is this normal?. . im not sure if this is the screen, or some how the software?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akash3656:
That's not burn in, that's just your panel is a ****ty panel and it is slow and causes "ghosting". After 2 replacement screens, I finally got a panel which has minimal or no ghosting at all. So i can say it's normal to get a panel that has ghosting (due to samsung's crap QC) , but it shouldn't be ghosting. If it bothers you, send your phone to a samsung service centre or contact google if you purchased it from Play Store.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gladden237:
solution to ghosting

for anybody having the same problem as me (the ghosting as described above), i found a surprisingly decent solution. there an app called "dead pixel detect and fix" in the play store- i had a hunch that it was gonna be completely useless, but it actually improved my screen by a significant amount
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] natzy85:
My display is suffering from heavy burning effect after using it as a navigation car system for 24h. I can still see the buttons from Navigon in the background like a ghost effect. I have warranty for the display since it has been changed in October 2012. Do you think it will come back to normal after a while or should I report this to Samsung? I will try to take some photos....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] natzy85:
It seems better now but it's still there. I hope it will eventually disappear.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] androidfreak11:
So here is a pic of my Galaxy Nexus!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alangrig:
Burn-ins are heavy one. You can try app to remove burn-ins, but I'd rather bring it down to the SC for replacement. I've been using mine for year now and screen is perfect. Always on auto-brightness.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DreamLinker:
I had a similar problem, not heavy like yours.

I found the image that burned my screen and after a screenshot I used an application that you can find on the google play

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bengigi.screen.diagnostic&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5iZW5naWdpLnNjcmVlbi5kaWFnbm9zdGljIl0.

It inverts the image an then causes a reverse burn in. Lighter areas become darker and viceversa.

You have to select the "custom repair" and load the screenshot. The app will automatically invert the image and will display the inverted image in full screen mode at max brightness. You have to leave it running on for a long time.

Hope this can help.

Samsung gave up replacing my LCD and decided to upgrade my galaxy nexus to note 2 without extra cash out, totally free upgrade and got another one year warranty..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] big_mike_2k6:
So I just received this nexus as a warranty replacement for my rezound from Verizon and at low brightness my scree has purple/pink tint look to it. I have to wait until they receive my rezound so they can send me a replacement for this one according to them. Great phone but coming from the rezound how bad the screen looked was easily noticeable. Kind of sucks but just hoping for the best.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alangrig:
Well,

Purple is common issue with GN. I have had a great opportunity to check 50 GN units before making purchase. I spent 4 hours and guess what? Only 4 units were out of purple issue. Samsung quality control is ridiculous.

Yeah, i bought best one, but 9 month later, even using phone at lower brightness as possible, status bar and navigation bar grey color became purplish. So despite quality control, overall display production quality is poor.

Now I've moved to N4 and no complain. Screen is just fabulous.

If you have a chance trade it to N4. You wont regret.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] big_mike_2k6:
Well if that's the case then I'll probably just deal with it. I never usually run my phone with the screen brightness that low anyway. 15% and above is fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jfriend33:
Terrible terrible terrible. I LOVED my galaxy nexus. Big screen made typing a breeze. It was such a cool phone. Well still is. Great developer support. After my 32GB bit the dust I received a refurb with burn in from being plugged in while shut off. The cut out of the battery left ghost images all the time. Then moved onto new 16gb because the 32s were gone (cries) and the screen issues on those were even worse.

At least I was blessed initially with a decent device with few screen issues.

I can honestly say except for the development support, I don't miss the nexus like I thought I would. No need to carry extra batteries... And my phone now runs pretty much flawlessly stock un rooted.

It was such a bitter breakup even selling her two best dresses (otterbox defender and commuter cases) and her home (original box with manuals) was devastating :(

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ahmeda_saeed:
Hi Guys, I had some problems with the screen, there was banding and the bottom of the screen was a yellower shade than the top. I got it replaced and the screen was slightly brighter on the right hand side and had the purple tinge on low brightness issue. I sent it again for a replacement and this time the screen is perfect.

No tinge, no lines at 50% brightness, I noticed that this screen looked different even when it was not switched on which was kind of weird, I mean when light reflects from it it looks different that the past 2 screens I think they might have 2 different types or screens or what, this is just my speculation but I am 100% sure this screen looks different while switched off.

Any how thanks to all the info posted on this forum by you guys I got a really good screen

Hello! I really dont know how to ask this, its a bit confusing, i have a dead pixel test app so i noticed blacker dots on black picture ! well it sounds stupid but i dont know how to say in other way. With the other pictures (green red white blue etc) doesnt appear anything. Its not app-related or image from the app because they appear on black wallpaper too but only on low light enviroment (at night). Does anyone know something about this?

L.E. i did a search and found that is a amoled display common problem. Somebody else have this problem too?

LCD - erroneous line at the top of my screen

I have an erroneous line at the very top of my LCD (see attached pic, look at the very top of the display where there is a horizontal line, this line is actually a little more obvious in some other display situations, sorry for not having a better quality picture).

Is my LCD broken? Hardware issue? I am okay with this line being there forever, but I don't want it to spread. Will this issue spread?

My soft buttons also have a purple tinge to their after touch animations, so, I am wondering if my whole LCD screen is crumbling slowly.

It is under warranty, but rooted etc., and I don't want to go through the hassle of reverting back everything to stock and send it for repair if the LCD line issue won't spread.

What do you guys think?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkvice01:
Bad news for you that will get worst..One piece of advice.. avoid amoled LCD ..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amateurninja:
So it is a hardware issue? It will definitely get worse or it might get worse?

Thanks for your inputs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkvice01:
It's a production issue.. we assume that the nexus LCD was not properly calibrated.. that's why a lot of galaxy nexus owner either replaced their LCD more than twice or sold it and bought different phone..and Yes it will get worst.. give it 3 to 6 months and you will notice a huge difference.. What I suggest.. have that replace..until you get a better screen or until Samsung give up and they will offer you to swap or upgrade your phone. Mine they replaced it for galaxy note 2 but after getting it,i sold it to my friend.. Coz I don't want to deal with the amoled anymore..though their LCD is fine..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amateurninja:
If it was a production issue, wouldn't this line have been there right from the start? Or does the LCD slowly degenerate/break down over a few months?

I have dropped this phone a few times and I was thinking this issue was because of all those drops. :-| Maybe it is not. I really hadn't noticed this line at the top till this week, so I am not sure if it was always like this right from the start.

My phone is still in warranty, will Samsung replace my LCD if I send it to them? Will the replaced LCD have issues too if this is some H/W production issue?

Thanks!
