Screen backlight uneven?

[techno_techie]

Maybe I am crazy, but my nexus looks a bit streaky with auto brightness enabled
Anyone noticing something similar?

I'm a screen snob it seems...by the way, this phone is a freaking work of art.

havent noticed that on mine

Since there is no backlight, it's definitely not that... maybe it's the "color banding" everyone talks about?

mine is perfect. First one was dud.

I'm sorry, I misspoke about backlighting since I know it's AMOLED. I mean to say that the screen calibration seems uneven. Wondering if I should exchange it or if it's a Samsung thing.

I brought up color banding in a thread last night. It was visible when I was using a wallpaper that wasn't a 1440x1280 720P HD. I haven't seen it since.

I have the banding everyone is talking about and it is driving me nuts on auto brightness. I don't want to return the phone because it was a pain to buy (the first one he took out for me had a screen that would not even turn on. I'm wondering if I should return it for a different one...I know AMOLEDs have this problem, which I hypothesize has to do with a rush fabrication process...it's frustrating me as a perfectionist...high brightness eliminates the noticeability. Does anyone else have banding issues?

I do, I only notice it on white and gray backgrounds. The screen looks amazing watching videos and playing games though.

I dont know if it is calibration issue or hardware. I would think calibration since the brightness makes a difference. I'm going to have to root and recalibrate, if i can do it to avoid returning it...

I have the brightness at about 30-40%. If you take it down you may see some banding. I generally see it when there is a grey screen.

However if you turn the brightness up to 30-40% and still see it I would exchange the phone.

With brightness at 20 percent or less i see it on white and grey backgrounds, in fact the brightness settings screen is a perfect example as it is a grey , darj background .

To test your phone , just take down the slider for brightness and watch for the streaks to appear .

One of way too many issues on this phone , none of which i have on a galaxy 2 or original droid or wife's new Razr !

Banding on the display plus it looks horrible unless brightness is cranked up , six hour battery life, weak speaker , much slower cdma speeds compared to the Razr , guess this is related to lower signal (less db) . Oh and the camera , just about as goog indoors as my orig Droid .

Why cany vzw offer the gs II ? Even with a lower resolution, such a better phone and it will get ICS.
