my screen shows shifting grey lines when i watch videos, play games, scroll when there is a white background. it only shows when the background is white. on youtube i see these lines on the screen too. is this just a quirk to having an amoled screen or do i have a defective screen? is anyone else having this issue?

That sure sounds defective. Does it occur after a reboot? It might be worth doing a factory reset, but if the phone is pretty new, you may just want to bring the phone back to the store, show them the problem, and ask for a replacement.

Yes. Thank god there's someone else with this issue. I've already replaced one phone due to a wiggly speaker grill and these lines were bothering me on my replacement device. I don't want to go through the hassle of another replacement but they very prominent on white backgrounds. With Lollipop having more white, I guess a replacement would make sense.
