Hey, I'm having a weird screen issue and wasn't sure where else to post. After I installed a custom rom, whenever my screen has a particular blue on the screen (for example the Facebook messenger blue) lines flicker on the blue. The lines are mostly verticle but some faint horizontal ones are visible too. I hadn't noticed this on the older rom. Any ideas what might cause it?

The title says it. I made a completely black picture on my PC, and use it as the background for the stock lockscreen. Despite this, there's a brownish horzontal banding across the bottom of the screen that fades upwards across a third of the screen, when it should be black! I thought this was a screen deficiency at first, but then i saw that this banding isn't there when i display black images in the gallery or anywhere else except for the lock screen.
Build GINGERBREAD.XWKE1 stock ROM, rooted, Kernel XWKE2.
1. Does everyone else have this?
2. Does it go away with an alternative lockscreen?
3. Are there usually this many bugs on new Android-devices, as there evidently are on the SGS2?

I also have this and have had this since new on all firmwares. Also present on custom roms.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
I changed to a black blackground too a while ago.
As I found out it is actually better for your battary to have a black background.
look here http://blog.stevemould.com/phone-battery-save-black-wallpaper
just read the article on that.
Ok, I have an XT912 2.3.6/.173, I do have a flashed ROM and I've noticed during the boot animation (the red eye) the dark space around the edges appears to be mostly gray with a few select BLACK spots.
I know it's not a huge deal, but has anyone else noticed this?
I've been using my phone in a dark room without lights for some evenings, and I noticed, that when a total black image is givin, like the YouTube app loading a video some weird darker/lighter spots are visible, this is also visible when displaying a black image.
I'll try to make a picture as soon as possible, but does anybody know what it could be? Its like someone pressed the screen really hard, but nobody ever did.
The spots are not visible at any other image, only on black image.

I have similar problem with my Xperia Z. When the screen gets completely black on max brightness I see a small dark gray spot...
So I can say it's screen issue due much hard presses on the screen
TapaTalked from my Xperia™ Z (C660²) running Dirty Unicorns ROM!
Same here its most probably due to some bigger push you didnt notice or overheating or even it could be manufacturer line issue unfortunately :/
I might have an issue with my phone. I just wanted to check if anyone had the same problem.
When i have a white screen i get that grey beam coming from the second screen down on the white.
Is that normal or the screen is messed up ?
Also, on the second screen, when i get a notification that has a white background, it seems a little black.

I've noticed the same problem. I think it's due to the secondary screen led not being as brightly lit as the main one. It should look better when the second screen is active.
I know the title sounds crazy, so let me explain.
I've had this issue for quite a long time now but never gotten into it.
Basically, when I open a white image or whatever light colored app/background, I can recognize a Whatsapp conversation in transparency, almost like it's stuck underneath the display.
So I tried opening the recovery to clear cache and I noticed the same exact thing when the recovery was loading (light blue background).
You can find a picture below. The top portion is my phone's display while the bottom is a screenshot found on Google (cause I needed the old layout for Whatsapp chats).
By the way, the phone I'm having trouble with is a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge updated to Android 7.0 (the update didn't fix the issue).
Thanks to everyone in advance
This is known as image retention or burn-in. It is a characteristic of OLED/AMOLED displays when the same images are held at high brightness/intensities for long periods of time. There are apps/tools/methods which claim to reduce, remove or in some way fix the problem but please do your research as there is a good chance they can make the problem worse or introduce new problems. I have not investigated further other than methods of prevention. Also, organic light emitting diodes/pixels have a given lifespan. The screen will lose brightness and color accuracy over time. Blue diodes will fade first, then green, then red.
