Has anyone else had this?
It's not dissimilar to this issue in the old LG G PAD

It is not as prominent, but it is there. It's like tiny lights, which illuminate the bottom edge of my Z3+, are there across the bottom - more visible on whites, or bright colours.
I can live with it (I think) if it's a common issue, but is it or should I replace?
Many thanks. Once more, it's not as prominent ! Same effect, about half a centimeter, if that, long.

That s because of bad build quality :|
that may not cause any issue but it s not nice, ask for replacement :good:

I've had a 3rd unit, and it was worse than this one - with the first, white, being the worst of them all.
It's so minimal, this odd light bleed I mention, that I'll keep the 2nd one I think. It's like a very very thin lightbleed, only visible against red or blue, in a wavy pattern - less than 2-3 milimeters. I think, overall, the panel job is not so good because they made the phone thinner.
I don't have it

So i was playing with my friend's Fascinate and I noticed the back lights on his bottom buttons are much brighter than mine, like the difference between an incandescent bulb and a flourescent one. Is this the same for everyone else? just curious seeing how I'm still within the 30 day warranty
Yea I saw the same thing with my buddy's vibrant. Mine seems dull too... I think its just the captivate in general has dull-er lights. Gay gay gay....
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
It is how it is. I wish they were brighter too. What you see is what we're all stuck with.
Alrighty. not really complaining, just curious. thanks for the answers
I also find the Vibrant's four capacitive buttons a tiny, tiny bit more responsive than mine, which are still not nearly as sensitive as they should be, and are, on most other high end android phones.

The responsiveness can actually change depending on which rom/kernel you are using.
Swyped.....you may have to interpret
Whats funny is that I have currently three captivates on my desk and two are similarly dull but one is Really really bright by comparison. No idea why though.

We have three in our house as well..not a notable difference in brightness. I actually prefer them being low light as your eye is not constantly attracted to them at night.

I did a search and couldn't find anything on this one.
Love the phone, came from a droid charge and vzw swapped me out no problem with a certified like new.
On some greyish to white areas or light colors, where there should be a solid color, it looks like a screen from a door angled at 45 degrees overlaid. It's a pattern that is bigger than what the pixels look like. This is on the lock screen, in games, and even in google maps (that default really light yellowish color!), it's almost anywhere light colors occur.
Is this normal, and I'm just trained and looking too closely at the screen with my last phone, or is this something that nobody can say they have seen?
I'd appreciate some feedback. I won't be able to get to a store for a few days to check the demo models for a comparison.
Thanks all!
Woah, weird. I can see more of it now.
This pattern shows up everywhere, and it's really obvious in lighter areas. It does NOT look like this on the background image on the home screen, but I will get this in almost every single app:

edit: Looks like an effect of the lock screen, but I get that same arrangement in games like sims, google maps, etc. Really hard to explain. I'm probably just looking too closely!
@#$!$#[email protected][email protected]!!!!!!!!
I should have googled on this one. It's the pentile effect, and I'm good with it!
Although the lock screen is larger than it actually looks in real life (note that's the lock screen effect).... the clock translucent background was one area where I was seeing it when looking closely. Back up a bit and it's not there.... I guess I just have really good eyes
At the top of my screen, there are two spots leading up to the edge where the blacks (can only notice it on blacks) are faded. It almost looks like there's a leak where the light is bleeding though, except there is no light bleeding through. Not sure what it is. My camera picked it up a lot better then you can notice it, but you can still notice it when the screens all black.

If you don't think you have this, I would still point a good camera at it to check, because it picks things up that you don't sometimes.
thats called "blacklight bleed" and ALL sidelit LCDS have this issue to some degree (iphone5, htc one X, even your desktop monitor)... you would need a SAMOLED screen to completely get rid of it

Its an expensive camera that's better discerning than the human eye...
If I can't see it with my naked eye, I'm not too worried about it
Well, let me explain. I have this issue since a while now, I remember that from the very beggining (using Ginger Bread) this issue wasn't there on my display. And now is getting really annoying, I don't know exactly why, but I definetely feel like this is getting worse.
First of all, it's not a serious problem that affects deeply, the phones works great, it doesn't affect the general function at all. Is just a LCD problem, it will be great to find a solution to this so I can enjoy my phone at 100%.
Specifically, when I'm on the screen watching pictures with red tones (red, orange, yellow, sometimes green) I can see tiny static lines on my display. I mean, the lines are static more on the left side of the screen. How do I know that are static? Well, when I scroll down or scroll up, zoom in or zoom out the image continues with the resolution and color and the lines are there like glued to the glass from inside and makes it look bad.
It's crazy, I don't know what to do. I read in other forum, (S2 forum) that those lines go away by flashing with Apollo kernel.... anyway, I can't attach any screenshot because it's not a software problem, the image will look fine if I do. It's a hardware problem. But what to do?
I've tested the LCD by *#0*# and in RED you definetely see how the lines are showing, are like a gradient. I take a picture, I hope you can see what I'm talking about.

I have the same problem for the red color but on the right side...I wonder if waranty would fix that?
Anyone having this problem with one side of the screen being brighter? Very noticeable on Grey's and some blues.

Every Samsung AMOLED screen is like that.
My galaxy s3 and note 2 were not like that

Hmmm...I was laying in bed last night streaming some videos because I couldn't sleep. I think I would have noticed something like that on the black loading page...I recall everything was of uniform brightness. I'll have to check again later & specifically look for it. However, I'm incredibly anal about that kind of stuff so I think it would have stuck out like a sore thumb.
I have a Charcoal Grey unit, by the way.
Opened up Chrome to that blank screen like you did and mine looks normal. I was thinking perhaps it was just a viewing angle sort of problem, but every angle I tried looked the same...normal. Not sure what could be causing that for you.

We've come a long way with display technology and bad displays are a lot more rare than they used to be, but a bad one still will slip through from time to time. A trip down to the local AT&T store to swap it out for a new one will fix the problem.
