Turn all the lights off, make sure the room is very dark.
Turn on auto brightness in settings.
Turn on auto screen power adjustment.
Click the following link and make the imagine full screen.
Look specifically for black horizontal lines going down the screen. I have one, my best friend has one in a different spot, my girlfriend has none. All bought from the same store.

Ok now listen very carefully. In order to see this picture you need to have your brightness all the way UP.
You have to do the exact opposite that you have to do when trying to find the defect on your own screen.
This is a picture of my screen taken in total darkness with a damn playskool camera:

I guess you can claim that it's a defect...
It doesn't make the same line looking at an image that isn't that, so.. I dunno.

Make sure its totally dark in the room! If so you're good, nothing to worry about.

Interesting... I have a solid darker line going from top to bottom slightly to the left from the center. I also see some spots around the screen that I thought at first might have been fingerprints as they're a little more blurred than the rest.
Never noticed anything until I viewed this image.

I don't know if I'm doing this right. I don't really see "lines", just two boxes at the bottom that I can move left and right. Then the whole middle of the screen isn't as "dark" as the top 25%.

You need to take one of the attached grey images and open it full screen on your phone so that nothing else is showing on the screen. Then follow the rest of the instructions to check for defects.

Ya I have one too that's slightly left, same as was described already in this thread. When did you get yours? I got mine the first day, if you got yours on the same day then both screens were probably in the same batch and all have this defect. It isn't visible outside of a gray picture in complete darkness, and doesn't effect the screen otherwise, so I'm pretty sure that the screen passed QA testing wihtout anyone noticing.
everyone ive showed this to has a line from top to bottom slightly to the left....you sure its not just in the wallpaper....because ive looked at similar dark grey wallpapers with the same settings on in dark light and none of thoes have ever showed a line
mine doesnt have any !

Yes I'm sure its not the wallpaper. I can tell because when I turn the phone sideways the picture rotates but the line doesn't.
I have my layout set at 10x10 and both horizontal and verticle margins set to none. My widgets are able to be placed right up against each other from left to right but they can not be placed against each other with no space between the widgets from top to bottom. Does anyone know why this is?

I have seen screenshots where it appears that people are using multiple wallpapers on one screen. For example a wallpaper on the top half and a different wallpaper on the bottom half of the screen. Is there an app where I can accomplish this?

I can't think of anything off the top of my head. Can you provide a link for a picture of this?
You could always put together multiple images in Gimp or PS to make a collage and then just send it to your phone.
New owner of a note 2 here, with a question about my wallpapers. I set my wallpaper by selecting set lock screen + home screen, and they look different once set.
The difference is that the lock screen is brighter than the home screen, and the home screen is zoomed in further, cutting off a small portion of the picture.
Does anybody know why the phone keeps doing this? I can set them separately and get the zoom issue fixed, but the brightness is always different, no matter what I try.
BTW, I see the difference using the factory launcher, or Launcher Pro +
Couple of pics, to show what I'm talking about...
Thats because you have the ripple effect option on, it makes the wallpaper lighter so you can see the ink effect with the pen easier. If you disable the ripple effect then the brightness will be normal.

Also try using QuickPic from the market to set just the homescreeen wallpaper. It should give you better sizing options.

How do you get shortcuts on the lock screen?
Try swiping the clock from right to left. Can also swipe down to expand. And can go left to right to add pages widgets ect.

I completely forgot the obvious one. I prefer on mine to have them swiped by the clock to keep accidental presses down. But I can see how some would prefer that way.
