There's a dark shade/screen covering all but the top sliver of my screen.

I can see through it, but I have to keep my brightness on a pretty high setting, especially outdoors. It started happening intermittently a few months ago, but now it's darker and not going away. I have a Galaxy S7.

It may not show in a screenshot. If so, post a photo of it if you wish. But it does sound like screen or hardware failure. Back up your personal data while you can.

Does it show up in a screenshot? http://forums.androidcentral.com/ge...ide-how-post-screenshots-android-central.html

Duplicate threads merged. If you're having problem posting a screenshot in a reply, are you using the Android Central app? That app doesn't allow you to attach photos to reply, I think. Use the main forums website on your browser, or the AC Forums app (the one that's based on Tapatalk).

thank you mustang..

Your welcome!
Is this your screenshot?

I don't see anything unusual there, which would suggest the issue is with the screen itself. Can you take a picture of the phone screen using a different device, and show that?

Sounds to be like a slow leak from a broken tube in the screen, but we'll see.
