Does anybody else here have an Xperia Z2 with the same design flaw? In the upper-left corner of my phone there is a noticeable area where the plastic is not filled correctly. It looks awful in daylight conditions and seriously makes the phone look ugly. I've noticed other users mentioning it on this forum, is it a more widespread problem or just a faulty batch of phones?
Look below to see what I'm talking about:

Must be a batch issue, mine is fine.

Mine is fine to.
Probobly a fabrication error from the ones doing the frame. I know how delecate They are cos we (my job) have made aluminum frames to Nokia and HTC in the past and They are VERRY delecate after milling.
My white Z2 week 18 is fine. I checked the whole edge of both sides and the molding seems straight. Although it does look like my white is not as white anymore but that's to be expected of a white phone lol.
It's a birthmark. Love it as you would your own birthmarked child.
most of users in Turkey have the same problem and it really bothers everyone.

Hello,
First of thanks for even looking at my problem also excuse me for my bad english or when I missed a similiar thread with the same problem
Last friday I was keeping my galaxy s3 between my body and my sports pants/underwear. When I took it away there was a tiny little bit of moisture on the screen (sweat I guess). I wiped it of and continued using my phone. After a while the screen started to go pink and flikkering white in different brightness levels. I quickly turned my phone off and took the battery out. I left my phone on the boiler in a bowl of rice overnight (+/- 15 hours). When I turned the phone on again it worked fine but only my screen has a very low resolution now. The rest of the phones functions are working just fine!
Does anyone know how this problem whas caused, if it could be fixed by me and if it could be under warranty (Standard dutch warranty of 2 years, my water/liquid indicators in the headphone jack and behind the battery are still white and white with blue x's respectively).
This is how my screen looks now:

(It's less visible on camera in my opinion, hope you can at least see a difference to understand what I mean with 'lost resolution'.

Thanks in advance!
I'd take it into the dealer and show them - it should be fixed under warranty I think. I would not tell them about the moisture and to be honest I don't think that is the problem. I've had water splashed on my phone with no effects. Also, the screen is fused to the glass (which is why cracks are so expensive to fix - you're buying a new screen) so the moisture would somehow have to get inside the casing to affect things. It clearly hasn't done that if the indicators are not showing water effects.
This is something I didnt expect or not sure if only my set is affected , can pplout there compare their Z2 with the stores / Demo sets or other to see if the whites are slight yellowish ( I know you can cure it with little tweaks ) but without any tweaks anyone ?
Here is a sample pic I took with my ultra of the demo and my set
edit : I have checked the other color reproduction and they are absolutely fine no problems its only the whites..

Holy **** i thought your white Z2 is staining based on the title
I think I might have a similar issue, my whites don't look as good as they do on my Z1 I think it might be the screen protector I've put on so I've ordered different ones to make sure its not the protectors.
I have this too.
I think it's normal. Screen tech and calibrations are different - so tweak the white balance settings to your taste. You can also check my second post at this thread

I've taken some photo's you notice the difference more when you're on the settings menu.

What do you think ?
is there any method of reducing or hiding the black outlining near the bezel on the g2.is it present in all the roms?
lol, that is a hardware not a software issue

i know the question is kinda noobish but what i mean is that the outlining thickness increses when the phone is running as compared to when phone screen is off or the phone is booting.i mean out of total outlining thickness 70% is hardware related and 30% is software related
can you post some pictures of what you're talking about?

i dont have other camera to take picture of phone.if u see your phone when its screen is off the thickness of black outlining around the screen is less.when you turn on the screen then more thickness is added by the rom to the outlining.see it
sorry, don't know what you're talking about... for me the bezel is always the same, screen off or screen on (stock rooted v20f d802)
It's practically bezel-free as it is, certainly the smallest bezel of any device in its class.
What do you expect?

When your screen is off, you see the bezel very thin, but when you turn on the screen, the surrounding area of the screen have black line that add more "bezel"?
If yes, then it's hardware related and you can't fix that
That's why I choose the black color, so I can't see the "bezel" difference between off and on screen.
I think most of white or non black color phone should have same problem, but on G2, is more thick.
And I think that's why LG G3 use all black color surrounding the screen on any phone color.
I've been reading through the numerous lightbleed threads here and elsewhere, and I can't find any reference to this particular problem I'm having. I took a chance and bought an open box Nexus 9 a few months back from Best Buy (it was a really great deal). I've been mostly satisfied with it - the buttons are a bit iffy sometimes, but I've been really happy with the screen. However, just today, I noticed this weird light bleed sort of thing started happening along the bottom edge:

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It's most visible on a white or colored background, and is almost invisible on a black one. That seems like the opposite of the usual lightbleed problems. Has anyone seen this before? Is there anything I can do, considering the screen was fine before?

I have a rooted S9+. This device is comportable, but rounded screen border is bothering me.
Is there a way to disable it?
I searched but could only find apps that add rounded corners. What is it that you dont like about the rounded corners?
Well, It's not that big problem.
When I watching some videos, reading some texts, or viewing some pics, that rounded border hide some very tiny parts of it.
Not a big problem, but bothering.
Try the edge touch extension in the new samsung Goodlock 2018 app, it's what you are looking for https://www.the***********.com/download-samsung-good-lock-2018-app-apk/#6-Edge-Touch
Err... I think I make a mistake on word choice.. I mean corner. Not border.
for example the screen looks like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
but when I take a screenshot there's no corner on it.
I am sorry to have confused you
Since it's a physical boarder the only thing I could see doing is add a boarder around the video to make it smaller and fit within the screen. I don't know if you could do that rooted though.

Oh... I didn't know about that it's a physical border. Cause past edge models' border is not physical. I heard that LG G6 and G7 have a physical border not samsung. Anyways Thanks alot!
