I've never seen that problem before. I do not think that it'll get worse over time but it's a definite indication that you've messed with your device. Just use it till it cracks, then get an original replacement :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] questl007:
It is an original replacement, the screen was replaced in a lab, not in my house.

I took the phone back to the lab today and they told me it is common to see this in LG and Samsung phones after replacing screen.

I guess if it was common people here would know it....

sorry i don't have nh1 so i can't help you but what about four threads for the same thing , it's not realy serious man if you need help just post one time :p

if you have a pc :

domload your rom from Sam

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/36186/G7102XWUBNI2_G7102OLBBNI2_XSE.zip/

--extract it yoy will have G7102XWUBNI2_G7102OLBBNI2_XSE.tar.md5 use 7zip and extract it

--When you have completed extracting all of them, you'll find many files including many .img files. For Apps you need to extract system.img. Unlike normal nandroid backup's system.img file which in yaffs, this stock one in different. So, unyaffs tool can't unpack the system.img

--To extract the system.img, download this tool: sgs2toext4 (created by drphrozen). On extracting it you'll have sgs2toext4.jar file.

--Open a command window and set the directory where you have .jar file.

--Now type sgs2toext4.jar and press enter.

--The .jar will run in a new window & will ask you to drag & drop the system.img file there. Do the same and wait till the process completes.

--When the process completes, you'll find a file named system.ext4.img in the same folder where you had the system.img file.

--Now download ext2reader and install it. Then open the program open your system.img.ext4

--Now navigate in to find the apk you need and extract it copy to your phone

Unfortunately this doesn't work. When you drop the system.img.ext4 file onto the sgs2ext4 tool, no file is produced. The tool just keeps endlessly repeating:

"system.img.ext4 32 B 0 B/s"

I think that tool is too old (2.5 years old) and doesn't support the newest Samsung firmwares.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] Phun Q:
I was just wondering if there were any waterproof cases out for the Z3 Compact?

Or just a waterproof case that fits the dimensions of the Z3C.

Closest I've found is this, which is kinda the thing I'm looking for: Krusell SEaLABox Waterproof Case XL

I want something that fits a bit more snug, though.

I know the phone is waterproof, but I'm going to use it in saltwater ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] ChiGGz:
I was thinking about what would happen if I sprayed this on my phone?

Double water protection would be awesome...in theory..
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] difto:
I would say that you can use in salt water as long as you rince it directly after. The main problem with salt will be the headphones connector contacts. As for waterproof cases I don't think you will find one especially made for it.

Maybe Google has taken cuts with the phone?

I hear the moto x 2014 compared to galaxy S5, the screen difference is pretty big.

One uses amoled and one uses super amoled. Hopefully the 2k resolution will help the brightness and vibrancy.

What do you guys think? I haven't held a moto x and S5 together but I absolutely love the S5 screen.
[Nexus 6  General] Nitemare3219:
If anything, the 2k screen will be less bright...

[Nexus 6  General] LeJolly:
Resolution has nothing to do with brightness or vibrancy
[Nexus 6  General] Nitemare3219:
It's harder to push light through more pixels, so sure you can get a stronger backlight, but then you get more power consumption and heat.

[Nexus 6  General] floepie:
Huh? You don't push light through pixels with amoled screens. Per pixel brightness is certainly not affected by resolution, perhaps only with LCD screens.
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
Amoled displays don't have backlights, the display itself is the source of light.

My mistake, completely forgot that part about AMOLED. Been using IPS screens since I had a Galaxy Nexus, and that screen was junk.. so I've been wanting to stick to IPS. My G3 is gorgeous, so I'm kinda scared to see the N6 with AMOLED.

AMOLED is the screen technology. "Super AMOLED" is just Samsung's brand name for their own screens using AMOLED technology, not a separate technology. It remains to be seen what the Nexus 6 screen looks like when compared to Note 4.

Are you sure cause the S2 with Super AMOLED was significantly better than their regular AMOLED models like the GNEX.

[Nexus 6  General] mcgon1979:
I've not used AMOLED since my Galaxy Nexus, but it was horrendous. Banding visible all over the screen on grey or beige (light colored) screens.

Plus, it had burn in on the status bar that I could always see on full screen youtube videos etc. Was terrible.

I'm wondering have they improved the hardware technology since then or can I expect that again on the Nexus 6,

Look forward to the reviews on here after launch. :laugh:

The OCD fanboys who buy the first wave will be busy detailing the issues. I used to be one of them. I'll wait till the second wave this time. haha :good::laugh:
[Nexus 6  General] jmm22:
Super AMOLED is based on AMOLED a technology, but has an integrated digitizer instead of it laid on top, making it brighter and more vibrant. It also reflects less sunlight than a standard AMOLED screen.

It is their marketing term, but does have some modifications

Imagine if they used non pentile :o

This is a quick pull from wiki explaining the difference between all amoled screens
[Nexus 6  General] katamari201:
OMFG are people here really this clueless? Samsung calls ALL their AMOLED panels Super AMOLED. That includes the ones they sell to Motorola and Nokia. They are ALL made by Samsung. The reason why the Moto X 2014 doesn't look as good as the Galaxy S5 is because Samsung ALWAYS sells the last generation to their competitors and saves the latest generation for themselves. In other words what you see on the Moto X is the same tech as the Galaxy S4, not the S5. And for those dumb people who keep on saying higher resolution means lower brightness, this is only true for LCD since they use a backlight and it has to shine through each pixel, with more pixels decreasing the brightness overall. AMOLED is completely different in that each pixel is its own light source and when you pack them together, they will be brighter not dimmer, just like how your vanity mirror in your restroom will be brighter with three small 600 lumen bulbs near each other versus just one 900 lumen bulb.
[Nexus 6  General] Nitemare3219:
Ah yes, now I remember those black spots too.. what exactly caused those and can we expect this on the N6?

Hopefully screen burn is a thing of the past, especially with the nav and status bars going transparent on the home screen.

If the display is PenTile, that will probably kill it for me right away. I can't stand the fuzziness that comes with that junky setup. I bought a Yoga 2 Pro and noticed it right away which is part of why I returned it. I also hate how AMOLED has a very blue/green hue to it.. guess we'll see how the N6 turns out.

For me both suck... cause of degradation of the organic led.. colors become toned... and burn in issue.. they are simply inadequate.. expecially at that price...
[Nexus 6  General] Pilz:
From what I recall Samsung makes all AMOLED displays so you should expect it to be great. Google wouldn't put a bad display on a flagship phone.
[Nexus 6  General] bart.found:
screen burn isn't a thing of the past.. beacause the technology il still the same.. organic led degradate with use.. losing brightness and uncalibrating all screen colors (this with homogeneous wear) but some elements like status bar icons and navbar buttons are always in the same position!! And they will burn in inevitably
[Nexus 6  General] RedBlueGreen:
nexus 4 & 5

There is a slight difference between the moto X 2014 and S4 screens.

[Nexus 6  General] Pilz:
There is a big difference here because this is being priced as a flagship now so there's more at stake than with the N4/N5.
[Nexus 6  General] danarama:
No issues with my N5 screen except that its LCD.
[Nexus 6  General] jmm22:
You may want to look at how long it takes for AMOLED colors to degrade. When I was working on OLED technology last year, I believe it was 1,000 hours of use before any significant degradation occurred (8-11%). That was over 3 years ago that this study was conducted too. OLED technology has been improving fairly rapidly.
[Nexus 6  General] bart.found:
I hope so, but 1000 hours are 333 days of medium-heavy usage (3hrs per day)... when I buy a new device i try to last with it for at least two years.. anyway.. I don't like that technology.. my old, heavy used, deprecated Nexus 4 still have same colors of the first day I used it.. so, for me, IPS is still the best display technology with its pros and cons..
[Nexus 6  General] jmm22:
It's not perfect, I agree. Your point is also completely valid. but it is important to note that it's only 10% loss after 1000 hours. I don't have AMOLED screens right now, but I did a lot of research and patent work with them.
[Nexus 6  General] LNJ:
What a load of nonsense!

HTC One M8
[Nexus 6  General] msal:
If this screen is going to burn in, this is going to be a very serious issue. My old SGSII had multiple burn ins, most notably the status bar. It was very apparent when web browsing, watching a video that has a light background or changing the wallpaper to a light color.
[Nexus 6  General] LNJ:
So has any newer AMOLED screens encountered burn in like the Moto X, S4, Note 3 or S5?

My Note 2 which was purchased on December of 2012 had no burn in when I sold it last month!

HTC One M8
[Nexus 6  General] hello00:
it will probably have the same display as the moto x..if that is the case, it would not look as good as the note 4
[Nexus 6  General] youwonder:
I'm particularly interested to find out who the supplier of the panel is for the N6. It's probably not samsung for two reasons right?

A: not Samoled

B: samsung doesn't seem to sell their latest flagship display technologies to other vendors (the 2013 x used an n-1 screen res SAMOLED from samsung, for reference)

Then again the new Moto x uses a SAMOLED panel as well, so maybe samsung is still supplying the panel.
[Nexus 6  General] tjpallares:
I'm no expert and screen technology or anything, but I've used Samsung phones since the original Galaxy S and my family has had the Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy S2, S3, Note 2, S5, and soon a Note 4 so I have had some experience from their screens. I currently own a Nexus 5.

Samsung explain SUPER AMOLED: http://youtu.be/aQkLMG3SBQ4

Has some good info in it. Always liked the amoled screens. Blacks and colors aren't washed out by a backlight and thinner display prevents the colors from being distorted after being emitted. True blacks because the actual pixel is what makes the light, and can shut off when it needs to. I know it doesnt apply here, but the thinness also allows manufactures to make flexible displays. That's why all the flexible and curved screens are oled.

Also a pentile matrix does affect the clarity of the screen, but that wasnt at a 2k resolution, so I doubt that will be a problem here.

This article is about TVs, but the technology is similar for LED and OLED TVs.

[Nexus 6  General] mcgon1979:
Really surprised at how many people seem to think this display will have no screen issues because it a "flagship" phone.

My Galaxy Nexus was terrible for banding and screen burn. I used the phone daily for surfing, perhaps 4 hours screen on over the course of the day. It burned in the status bar etc within a few months. I couldn't believe it. That burn in was very very obvious anytime I watched anything in full screen. Youtube, or the gallery. whatever.

Not good enough. I use a Nexus 5 now and am very happy with the HD IPS screen. No issues. No banding. No dead pixels. Marginal ligh bleed at very shallow viewing angles. but AMOLED was a mess. :(

I hope to be surprised, and hope I am wrong. The colours are vibrant, and the blacks are awesome, but screenburn sucks.
[Nexus 6  General] car195:
I have a two year old Galaxy s3 and the screen has 0 issues, no burn in, no noticeable color degradation. I also have a Nexus one (about 4 years old) and the screen it's in perfect condition, it's even brighter than the s3.

Even my old Zune HD has no issues with the screen. I think AMOLED technology should be even more reliable on the newest generation.

My desition about getting the Note 4 or the Nexus 6 will be between the screen and battery, I hope that I can phisically compare both before my s3's battery dies, otherwise I'll get the Note.
[Nexus 6  General] AVF Jay:
Amoled screens have drastically moved on from the grainy mess that was used in the galaxy nexus.

That screen was awful especially at low brightness on dark colours. I remember the sudden graininess and vertical lines that would appear as the brightness reduced, it got so bad that I ended up returning the deivce as I couldn't live with it.

Amoled devices that I've owned since then have been much improved. I really wouldn't use the display in the galaxy nexus as a reference point for amoled screens.

Amoled screens nowadays have deeper blacks, as opposed to older devices that had noticeable glow and visible mura effect, they have more accurate colours, and are more uniform than older panels.

The main issue is smearing on dark colours, due to the low response time going from black to say grey produces a purple smear, and there can be some uniformity issues on dark greys, and whites where there's an uneven yellowness etc
[Nexus 6  General] mcgon1979:
Thanks Jay. That's really encouraging to hear! :)
[Nexus 6  General] Twski:
Reminding LED TVs are LCD, but use led for backlight. OLED uses LEDs for making and lightening all the image like amoled mobile displays
[Nexus 6  General] blackrobin88:
The debate can go on. I don't care

As long as it has the same amoled display like the note 4, I'm sold.

To know how good is the display, please refer to anandtech note 4 review. White balance and more importantly colour accuracy are up to par if not similar to iPhone 6 display.

That huge of a display, it'd better be good

At 40 seconds, you can clearly see both devices are at 100% brightness.
[Nexus 6  General] blackrobin88:
Nexus 6 appears dimmer in the first screenshot. Anyway brightness has always been the issue for amoled screen until recently(Samsung's panel).

I have a feeling that the display won't be as good as expected.

Darn it, we need more info to ease our tension
[Nexus 6  General] Nitemare3219:
The Note 4 is also capable of getting much brighter (brightness boost for outdoors) when set to auto-brightness. Anandtech's review shows a manual brightness of 331 nits and auto of 462 nits. I doubt the N6 will do the same.

Sent from my LG G3
[Nexus 6  General] 3473:
Hmm, it does look a bit dimmer but not by much. The note 4 is showing brighter colours too which helps with the colours 'popping'.. nexus is showing grey and dark green

Moreover it says 'motorla confidential not for sale'.. so definitely a prototype. Could it be that the prototype had lcd? Hmm

Just wait for the reviews. Or buy it and return it if you don't like it like I am :p
[Nexus 6  General] darkchazz:
Actually that is correct.

Both moto x 2013 and 2014 editions use sAMOLEDs produced by samsung.

I don't know why moto list only "AMOLED" on the spec sheet. Could be that the "Super AMOLED" is a marketing term used only by samsung themselves.

As for the comparison video, remember guys:

The Note 4 (and all other samsung devices) has an extremely vibrant color profile enabled by default, which not only makes colors more vibrant, but also increases color temperature.

Better wait for professional display testing of the nexus 6.

I would prefer LCD myself because all of the samsung devices I have used (yes. ALL of them) had a greenish-yellow tint on their displays..
