Yes it will give same issues too ..after few weeks or months of using it .. doubt it if it came from a drop.. they will if your phone has no marks on drop.. I drop mine too but before I ask for replacement I bought a replacement for the housing to cover the drop after a month that's when I ask for replacement.. Good luck..

I sent my phone in for warranty service 5 months ago, at the time it was about 8 months old.

The phone is again exhibiting the same defect, light bleed along the very bottom of the screen.

1. How long is the warranty good for?

2. Do they ever offer a replacement phone (i.e. they send me a replacement and then I send in my defective phone)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkvice01:
Samsung offer an upgrade of phone as long you're in warranty..

Galaxy Nexus Screen Lines

i have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus that has some horizontal lines on the screen. i need to know that is there any way to remove those as the lines are very irritating.

Regards

Suleman Hussain
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkvice01:
Is it visible in all colors? Or when you only open the settings coz if its only visible in settings then that's normal. IPS screen has it too but if its visible in all colors like when you're in your home screen then that's defective screen.. No way to fix it but replacement.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Suleman.Hussain:
they're visible on the homescreen. i have attached the images showing that lines. it doesn't show in the screenshots but on screen. can the upper glass be replaced or the whole screen?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkvice01:
That's a defective screen.. Have it replaced
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sir Lemmiwinks:
Screen flickering and grainy

First off I apologize if this has already been answered but there are 166 pages to look through and I'm not even sure what the issue is called.

Just bought a GNex off Ebay and so far its been a good phone. My problem is watching movies that have low light cause some distortion in the screen. Ex: Shadows on skin seem to have red pixels that aren't natural and black shadows look like low resolution. Been watching Netflix and noticed this. I've tried changing the brightness and even adjusted the RGB levels on the phone. Lowering the levels helped with the dark shadows from turning into large black and grey pixels but the color of skin has a red hue to it.

Also, blacks normally display well, just seems to be video. Tried other video players and same results.

Uploaded a video of the problem, you will notice when its paused there is some flickering. Steaming is HD and recorded in 720p

Ok thanks, back to stock then...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IIEtCII:
I see horizontal lines when I display a red or blue color (( blue is less visible ))

Is it normal ?

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkvice01:
Nope. I had that before..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IIEtCII:
So I should send it back to them ? Is there any other solution for this ?

because in my country they don't provide good services here :(

and maybe when I take my phone to them they will have it for 30 days before they fix it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bmg1001:
Actually IT IS normal. It's burn in from the status bar. You can fix it with "Screen Diagnostic" from the Play Store.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] taz26:
nfolosc somewbat

Ok thanks. Is it long to fix?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bmg1001:
Not really. Just check your phone about once per minute to make sure it isn't overdone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IIEtCII:
any one ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkvice01:
Its not normal.. If you keep that I assure you it will get worst until it will come to a point that even watching movie, playing games or regular usage of phone, lines will be visible..go ask for replacement til Samsung service center offer you an upgrade of phone, mine was upgraded to galaxy note 2 and sold it to my friend..one thing I've learned is to not deal with AMOLED display anymore

I have the Sprint galaxy nexus that I bought on swappa. I've already sent it in to samsung 3 times already and there is still something wrong with the screen. What would happen if I went to the sprint store? could I get a replacement there?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thesebastian:
I got a Galaxy Nexus with (exactly) the same issue here.

People, do you think this is something "bad connected" and it could be fixed by rearm or without buying an entire new "fronthousing + lcd + digitilizer +glass"?

I went to a technician today and he told me he will check for a repair cost and call me.

But he also said that maybe it's something bad connected or it can be moisture inside the device.....or whatever and maybe it's much cheaper to repair.....

Problem is...the revision costs about 20 dollars.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kapybarus:
I have horizontal lines on my screen too. But mainly in red or orange color. Not in status bar but on whole screen, but only in those color. Will warranty cover this? My nexus is only one year old, but I would rather take half of the money I paid than getting a new one.

I hate amoled and regret going away from lcd :(

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwoods1983:
Why upgrade to a new phone??

I am eligible to upgrade my phone, and have been for quite some time, but I see very little value in upgrading at this point. I am running the latest SlimBean 4.3.2 stable build, although I have been trying out their SlimKat alpha and beta builds, and other than an upgrade to my camera, faster processor, and potentially better battery life...I see very few notable improvements in new devices. I don't really want a "phablet" or any phone bigger than 5 inches. In my opinion the Nexus hit the sweet spot with the 4.65" screen. My biggest complaint and reason to upgrade would be battery life, but I do like being able to pop a new battery in anytime I need to with my Nexus...which it seems alot of brands are getting away from or never have allowed (apple).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] antypas:
Screen starting displaying bright lines on top and bottom of the screen...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] albsat:

Me too, I just inherited GNex from my wife and the display looks grainy :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] basisforbart:
I am surprised to read some of the screen problems people are having. I have had my nexus for 2 years of heavy use and don't have any ghosting issues. I barely ever have the brightness up don't know if that had helped it live this long.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] buhohitr:
You can buy a new screen digitizer from Ebay for about $70-$90 and it's not too hard to replace.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fenreer:
I don't have any problem too, using my GNex already for a two years. And i'm very satisfied :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wlad0:
same here :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Deksloc:
I'm pretty sure that keeping brightness low does help avoid ghosting.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AndroidInsanity:
I fixed the ghosting issue with the screen burn app tool but the screen looks really grainy on low brightness.

I can just about live with it.

BUT one question i NEED a solid answer to is will it effect performance or maybe F*** my screen up more if I leave it?

Will be very grateful if someone has a good idea of if it will or not. Not just a guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GnexusLexus:
I've had these transparent lines going horizontal (seen from portrait) over the screen most noticable when it's a white screen. My moms SGS2 is worse but I guess it is that way with the AMOLED. Not a big problem tho but good to know if people are having the same issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] apollo07:
Is there a way to remove bun-ins on the screen?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] firionvin:
mine too, my white screen looks yellow and its search for it, it called screen burn, and cannot do anything with it, just using custom kernel to change the seeting of the screen :crying:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] E66666666:
I've always used custom ROMs since release and enabled Expanded Desktop on my own Galaxy Nexus since it was available, or at least, used pie controls and had a hidden status bar, and my own Galaxy Nexus is free of noticable burn-in. However, I just bought an old Galaxy Nexus from somebody else and oh wow, the burn-in is certainly noticable:

Not a complaint or anything, just an observation. Apparently it has been running stock forever.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fremont85:

Sorry for the bad quality pic but the camera is a damn potato! I believe you can still notice that blue mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bandelenth:
yeah, my phone got this kind of screen burn too, I've been running stock rom for over two years, discovering the expanded screen feature on CM then late too... It's still a fine phone, but it's somtimes kind of annoying when you have fullscreen videos or or pictures, that you see the borders between these sections. Maybe one could just change the screen, but that would probably be a little expencive just to fix that little problem ^^
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daytonahemi08:
Ya i have burn in to on toro nothing wrong with screen phone is flawless but still thinking of getting screen replaced. Im sure its goin to cost me more than the phone is worth but i love this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] warfed:
Could it be your background? I once noticed weird lines in clock mode that looked like a boken LCD when off, but when I turned the phone the lines changed as well, then I realized those are the lines on my background image....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmattp:
Mine did something similar, except one time it was spiky, cartoon mountain looking things, and then after a factory reset it showed speckles.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dimsdale:
For me, the biggest problem with the screen is how massively warm the white point is. I compared the SGN to ever other phone in the VZW store and found that there were some phones with better ("whiter") whites, but none compared to the iPhone display for color.

I even compared my SGN to the floor model and saw some variation between them, with mine being slightly cooler than the floor model.

Looks like it's pretty random what you get.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sonicxml:
same here, and like the other guy, its pretty much only been in the dim clock as far as I have seen
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Joshaldo:
Hey guys is it normal to have blotches show up on a pure black screen while in a dark room? Only happens in dark lit room, am I the only one?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
all the stuff posted in this thread, some are normal some aren't, so you will have to decide for yourself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chjade84:
:confused:

I assume you mean the iPhone's whites were the closest to true white? That's true, unfortunately.

But the SGN kicks it's ass as far as all the other colors are concerned - which i'll take over white any day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HWOW:
does anyone notice on the stock camera app that there is like a grey line coming out on the lower left hand corner? it has been annoying me since I got it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bat0nas:
Same here. Mine has few not that big black areas seen in the dark. Not a big issue. Still haven't decided to exchange the phone or not.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nabeelster25:
I can also see those black dots around my screen and at first I thought it was nothing. I still think it's nothing because the screen performs better than any phone I've ever held in my hands.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tonnytech:
Hi,

I thought i would add some referance pics of what isent normal these are examples of colour banding
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tonnytech:
And these are examples of transparant line on screen
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmattp:
A few posts back I said I would update with the status of my phone's repair. I sent it in because the display had banding, purple hue, and spots under the screen during low light. I just now got an email (a week later) that says it was being shipped back to me and acknowledged the following:

So, I guess I'll see how it is when I get it back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neotekz:
how common is the transparant line problem? should i look into getting a replacement if i see it? i can only see these lines at the lowest brightness.

after reading the 18 pages of this thread i decided to check out a different phone at the store and the new one they gave me has no transparent lines, its still a bit grainy at lowest brightness but much better than the previous phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GunnerMC:
my phone is lighter on the bottom of the screen than on the top is it normal ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FaithCry:
go to browser, go to a white page, or just zoom in on the google homepage and let it sit for 5 seconds...

then rotate it 90 degrees left, and look at the top of the physical screen when rotated... anyone get ghosting where its brighter than the rest for a couple of seconds?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tonnytech:
Its quite common seems a lot of people have had it sometimes you will not notice it if you turn the brightness up however if you still notice it with brightness turned up then i would swap luckily my current next after swap does not have transparant lines or splodges. But the sceeen tint is different they all seem to have it to some degree just have to find one can live / happy with :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] angeloposteraro:
I find that the screen appears slightly bluish at most non-stantard viewing angles, this is mostly doe to the blue pixel being predominant in the pentile type display. You can correct this in almost any non-standard rom with the color correction factor
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] E15i:
Kind of funny thread.., I come from PC screens and TV sets world,

it reminds me of how crappy, Samsung panels can be on they LCD line of TV's..but there is another story, as not all panels made by Samsung, and also SONY use they panels to..but I'm still will get it, NEXUS says it all..

Available gtalk on sms screen

My nexus one always had a gtalk light beside my friends that were on gtalk as well as I was texting them and I could see if they were orange or green. So I had a little green dot or orange dot beside their name in the SMS application on the phone. I am now using the Galaxy Nexus GSM and LOVE IT just miss that little feature.

My nexus one was running CM7 do we know if the CM9 will have that? was that just an added feature on the CM& for my nexus one? Any info will be helpful!
