Fingers crossed my phone doesn't have this when I get it, or any of the other problems...
Seems at this rate though I'm pretty much preparing to return it for a refund....
What is the consensus here? Is it worth trying to get one without the issue?
I've emailed by retailer and Samsung to see if they have any more info than we have in this thread. Will get back here with any info I receive from them.
Do think burning the screens in would help? Maybe leaving the screen permanently on overnight for a couple of nights whiltst on the charger with a slideshow of various colours rotating may help. Just clutching at straws lol.
Doubtful, I'm sure they were already "burnt in" at the factory.
It's odd how it's the left side for all of us...
Exactly, for a potential defect, if that is indeed the case, it really is very consistent. Also doesn't seem to be worse on the left top section or left bottom section, but very uniform across the left side. Without having any info at all about the manufacturing process, I am think if the displays are stored at some point tilted to their left side, causing some glue to become very slightly thicker on that side as it cures, and if this is indeed the same situation as for the iPhone, could potentially fade away after some use. Or another of any number of factors potentially at play. Who knows, but isn't the manufacturing of high technology fascinating?
Because of these types of potential factors it would be beneficial to Samsung to look into this and provide some quick info. If this is potentially a temporary thing which will fade away in a matter of days /a week or two, it would be good for users to get that info, so that Samsung doesn't get returns for phones that just need a bit of running in.
Excellent points.
Working in manufacturing myself as an engineer (albeit much larger things), i'm always fascinated to learn about the process.
It would be great to hear from samsung on this, please do update us with anything you hear.
I'm hesitant to send it back because everything else is PERFECT with this phone. No dead pixels, no other issues of any kind.
It is indeed the whole left side, uniformly, like a gradient effect. Almost like they come out of a heat treat and the left side stays in longer or something.
Very odd....
Is this banding, like I read in this thread?
At first I didn't notice these vertical lines, but now it begins to worry me.
It is best seen with this grey background or on the notification pull down menu.
Is there something wrong with my display and should i bring it in for service/replace warranty?
Or should I not worry, because this is normal with these kind of displays?
So you think I dont have to worry because these lines are normal and I got to get used to them.This is different I would say.
This is an issue with a left to right gradient.
The left side is yellow/dark and the right side is white/bright.
I sent mine back today, in the meantime i'm using an atrix and HATING it
So you think I dont have to worry because these lines are normal and I got to get used to them.
Sorry if i'm offtopic
It seems to be normal with those Super Amoled screens - to some extend. At least 3 different SGS2 which I did try had them (as well as mine). It's most visible on grey background and with a low display brightness. The Nexus S on engadget had it too ...Is this banding, like I read in this thread?

Kind of like "if a tree falls in the woods can any one hear?" The only problems I care about are ones I can see. I'll tell the person who calibrates $5K monitors he doesn't know what he's doing because all the pros on this forum said so.
