I have an android one x4 purchased new from google, sent the first one back for replacement, the new replacement is doing the same thing.
Solid color grey wallpaper is showing lines at the top of the home screen, tried many solid wallpapers and always see the lines on home screen.
Anyone else have this issue? Thanks.

Are you sure that the lines are not part of the wallpaper itself? I see that lines in the screenshot but if It is a your display issue i should not see them.
Positive I see those lines even on the stock solid color wallpapers that are installed on the phone. Home screen is the only place the lines show up. If I put that wall paper on the lock screen they are not there . Attached is another screenshot with stock wallpaper from the phone.
X4 Screen lines problem
Hi, you can check if there is dust on your LCD screen flex cable. Try to clear dust and reinstall then check whether the problem is solved or not. The Witrigs blog has an article about how to replace broken Moto X4 screen. I think this tutorial can help you safely remove the screen. I hope my answer can help you.

Hey guys,
I've got a brand new HTC Touch Diamond. On certain screens in particular the Contacts, Messaging, SMS or the screen to select the Avatar for farvourite People, there seems to be a colour gradient on the screen in that the right portion of my screen is towards the grey shade wherelse the left portion is whiter in colour. Is this part of the theme or a standard feature or is this a defect on my unit?
The thing is I don't get this issue on the 'Align Screen' screen which has a similar white background, nor do I get this gradient on Program and Settings menus.
Could someone please help me confirm?
Thanks.
Cheers.
*bump*
Pls help???
I called HTC regarding this issue and they told me it's just part of the graphics theme but I'm not entirely convinced though...
Thanks.

You could try taking a screenshot and copy that to your computer. If the gradient appears there then its a part of the graphics in the theme.. But if it does not appear on the screenshot on the pc. then you can consider it as a failure.
I checked contacts (touchflo) -> all people (left softkey), and yeah there's a slight gradient from white to a very very light grey. (Going from left to right)
Thanks so much for the great help guys..... I'll take a screenshot later just to confirm the issue....
A simple test is, go to settings > today,...and change theme to Windows Mobile Default / Green. See if the light grey change to fade blue / green?
I can confirm 99.9% is the theme....
it is normal....

Thanks. Yes I've tried that before starting this thread. The gradient does follow the theme colour but I thought it was a backlight issue.. i.e. that portion of the screen not lit properly hence it appears darker regardless of the theme's colour.

then you fire up word mobile, and create a new document.
You should have a full white background......

Yes tried that.. I don't get the gradient on white pages such as the 'Align Screen' page, documents, IE, even the b/g of Programs and Settings looks perfect.
So it's safe to assume I don't have to send my unit back for warranty yeah? I just wanted to be sure before sticking my invisibleSHIELD on
btw, what screen/body protector are you using? I might have a spare invisibleSHIELD if you're interested.

That should be the theme issue....
you can try UITweaker,
go to TdyScheme Changer > change all the 4 list(left 1 & 2 + right 1 & 2) color to white...
cheers,...
I tried taking the a few screenshots and yes the gradient is there when viewed from the PC as well although less apparent. But yeah it's definitely the theme then.
When I was on the phone with HTC the girl also advised me to have my phone sent in to be checked... until I asked her "shouldn't you confirm this isn't normal before we proceed further"? lol
Hi to all.
I cant find a solution to my problem and maybe someone can help me.
I have found some wallpapers for our Note in the right resolution (800x1280) to use these in my lockscreen.
The problem is that when i choose a wallpaper with lot of black color and choose it as lockscreen wallpaper i can see some horizontal lines on it.
If i choose the same image as phone wallpaper everything is ok.
Where is the problem?
Thank you all.
I have the exact same issue. Horizontal lines on lock screen, but looks fine everywhere else. I don't have the solution, but maybe I can help you out a bit.
I did some searching, it turns out that there's some sort of software bug that doesn't allow black images to be truly black but rather very dark grey. The thread is somewhere in this forum.
Also the native lock screen resolution is actually smaller than the screen resolution because of the notification bar. Per this forum: http://androidforums.com/htc-hero/37268-lockscreen-resolution-compression-issues-false-info.html
Also when you set an image to be the lock screen, it seems the picture is re-scalled and saved again (in another directory), which means compressed again.
Android phones usually don't display images in 24 or 32 bit color but rather 16 bit color, which means color banding. More on that information somewhere in this thread also.
My suggestion is:
1. Find out the native lock screen resolution. I'm also searching for the figure.
2. Edit your photo, change it to that resolution, and make sure the black areas of that image are truly digitally black (000000), and save it as an uncompressed image.
Maybe the horizontal lines are because the image is being re-scalled, re compressed, and the image being displayed at 16 bit color with a "true black but" is resulting in horizontal lines.
The solution is this. I'm using it and black is perfect.

Not bad idea at all...I have used widgetlocker in my previous phones but somehow i had some little problems like small lugs or battery draining.
I dont know if in the latest version is fixed.
But ill try cause i love black lockscreen in our huge super screen...
edit:Not working properly for me cause i have lower destiny...
Ah, what a shame! But WL does work, so if you ever go back to the stock density i highly recommend you using it.
Magick locker is free so you can test that, get a theme and customize wallpaper, set any black image and its fine. so its samsung lockscreen software bug
One simple solution, use wallpaper wizardrii!!
It solved all my wallpaper problems!
Wicked app & highly recommended. Link - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.twistedapps.wallpaperwizardrii&hl=en
Functions of wallpaper wizardrii:

Forgive me if this has been covered, but I did a search in the Note forums and came up empty. I know how to change wallpapers, themes, etc. and I am using widget locker. How do I change that screen that comes up when the Note first boots up? --the one with the feather pen on it... I am using code unlock too and after I "wigdet unlock", I get the feather wallpaper on the next screen to do my code unlock. This is totally incompatible with the brushed metal theme I have going everywhere else.
I am not rooted yet, because I just got the whole thing straightened out with at&t this morning. Thanks in advance for any help.
I was having difficulty with this too. I remember in my GSII there was a setting where you could actually change the lock screen wallpaper. There is no such setting on the note from what I could see.
However this is how I was able to change the lock screen wallpaper.
1. Download the wallpaper you want
2. Go to the gallery and select the image
3. There should be a menu item called 'set as' which has an option to set it as wallpaper or lock screen wallpaper.
That's how I got rid of the stock feather and ink lock screen wallpaper.
Woo! That worked. I feel dumb for not trying that. I was making it overly complex, lol.
Thanks!

You can also go to Settings - Display - Screen display, and it will give options for changing lockscreen wallpaper, clock and weather.
Anyone have the same problem with black wallpaper? This is my second note 5 already, the first one wasn't as bad as this.

is this effect happening if you look at a black picture in the gallery also? check that out. because some themes put a gradient effect on the wallpapers for some reason. maybe it's just that.
Test your screen by installing Material Black theme. See if its black everywhere but the lockscreen when fingerprint lock is on. Then you will know if it's your screen or just a software issue.
I'm not only one who have this issue (some t mobile users also have the same issue like me, maybe it only happens to t mobile devices), so I think it's the software issue. Everything looks like your, but the home screen and app drawer with rectangle box.
having the same issue but on top part of the screen
here is the thread i created
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/help/screen-colour-issue-t3330151
Its only happening on the lock screen. Its because of the shortcuts of camera and phone.

i tried the theme the issue disappears with theme wallpaper but soon after another black wallpaper is set issue comes back
I looked at the OP's screenshot and thought to myself that I only saw the Samsung Pay card. If that thin rectangle is your issue, I might be missing your point, but that to me looks like you have Samsung pay active. If so, turn it off. Does that fix your issue? If it does, then that bar is there for you to swipe the app open. As far as when it is there when on a black screen, my answer is that it looks like that for contrast as it is transparent when I had it active.
BUT if I AM missing the point, I'll gladly delete this post.
any solution found ?
any solution for this?
Hey everyone,
I've been looking for an answer to this question, but I can't find one anywhere, blah, blah, blah.
I am running Nova Launcher Prime 4.2.2 over the stock launcher on my N920A with Android 5.1.1. I have a wallpaper with a solid black background. It looks something like the first image below. You might not be able to see it on a monitor, but the problem is that across the bottom, something (I am assuming it's my stock launcher or theme service) is lightening my background. It is happening in front of where the dock would normally be. In order to highlight what the problem is, I took some screenshots and then used paint to color in my background. Since I am a first-time poster, I can't post links, but I can tell you that my screenshots are on i dot imgur dot com with the following file names (sorry for technically posting links...):
My home screen with Default theme: tEvYClN.jpg
My home screen with Default theme and the background colored white: i9wfuK7.jpg
Now here is what happens when I change the system theme to sd-Black
My home screen with sd-Black theme: T7tDb5N.jpg
My home screed with sd-Black theme and the background colored white: vpfYaE7.jpg
Here is one more view of what I see on my screen. iNH7n7t.jpg
So changing the theme adjusts the height of the color distortion at the bottom. and top I want to know how I can get rid of those bars altogether. I am sure that this bar on the bottom changes when I adjust the system theme and I have tried it with other wallpapers with the same result. I have done as much troubleshooting and narrowing down of the problem as I can. Any thoughts? Thank you all for your help!
Probably samsung pay
