Reading lovers stand out wherever they go. Their refined conversation style and graceful presence are a combination of natural simplicity and their subtle nature. They are a wonderful sight that you just can't miss. E-books give reading lovers like you greater choice and let you read wherever you go.
However, I am concerned that even though your Nova has an eye comfort mode, you don't know about it, and harmful blue light radiation has been damaging your precious eyes for a long time.
I'm worried about how you stay pretty while being immersed in books, so I have a suggestion for you today: when you read or browse for a long time you should turn on your phone's eye comfort mode. It not only reduces blue light radiation, but also prevents eye fatigue. Let me teach you how to set it up.
Touch Settings > Display > Eye comfort and turn on Eye comfort.

}
After you turn on eye comfort mode, your phone will adjust the brightness of the backlight and the color temperature automatically and filter the screen's blue light to protect your eyes. It is normal for the display to appear slightly yellow when eye comfort mode is turned on.
Slide the status bar down to open the notification panel, and touch Eye protection to turn eye comfort mode on and off more easily.
Gentle reminder: To improve your visual experience, it is not recommended that you turn on Eye protection when you take photos, watch videos, and browse through pictures.

Any body else has this issue? I have thick vertical lines at the bottom of my
AMOLED sreen on the Galaxy Nexus.
They only show when the screen brightness are on low.
Should I get it changed under warranty?

This is pretty common with amoled screens, I wouldn't worry about it, its completely normal, and is only visible in dark rooms with brightness on low. Just be glad you don't have the blobs as well like all of the T-mobile Galaxy S2s have.
Cheers cbutters
yup. Mine is the same. Any replacement would likely be v similar. Forget about it.
I still think it's b.s. that for this new "Super AMOLED HD" screen that they downgraded from RGB and went back to pentile. Granted, they increased the resolution & dpi...
Apparently though, we'll have to wait until the next generation Samsung phones(after the Nexus) before they'll give us phones with "Super AMOLED HD Plus" that will be true RGB with high res & dpi.
SAMOLED. Just the way it is with whites.
That's the tradeoff for ridiculously black blacks.
I have a wide lighter coloured band horizontel across screen. Can see it when scrolling on lowest brightness. Auto mode in dark room etc. Cant see the vertical bands normally. Your eyes fix on the horizontel one while scrolling though. A replacement unit might be worse though. Grrrr.... ? Seems they all have these lighter or darker bands to some degree.

Is it possible to increase--across the board--the brightness levels when the phone is set to auto-brightness? For example, if the brightness is at a 3 when in a dark room and a 7 when it is in a bright room, is there some way I can tweak the phone such that in the dark room, it will actually be at 4 and in the bright room, it will be at an 8?
I ask because I've always thought that the default brightness for auto-brightness is too low.
I'm on the latest Gummy 4.0.4.
Not sure if it's me or something. But it seems like when I first turn on the auto brightness it's pretty dark. But if I leave it on a while, it seems to get better. I don't think it's just me getting used to it either. It feels like maybe it has a period of adjustment or something and then seems usable.
IIRC Gummy has customizable auto-backlight settings.
Settings>Display>Autobacklight>
Going by memory here, so bear with me:
-Check Use custom,
-Select Edit Other Levels,
-Adjust the screen value's (not too much, do it incrementally),
-Select Save and Apply,
-If you mess up, there's a reload defaults button.
Don't go too high, you may get burn in.
Ignore my values, I lower them, a lot.

Pretty granular too if you want to get down and dirty.
Oh, wow. I assumed that all the rom-specific tweaks and settings were contained in the "Gummy Settings" location. Thanks much.
On this topic, is anyone getting light sensor value problems in AOKP B32-34?
It worked fine in Liquidsmooth detecting all the way to the max 160lux (I think that was it) but only on AOKP on mine, and at least one other, does get seem to get stuck to 20lux max (personally I've only seen 16lux)
As you can imagine, this makes auto brightness useless since it doesn't get a value higher than 20lux from the light sensor

I discovered something on my phone. The Back & most esp. the recent App Button is not as bright as I thought, and compared with the pictures I have seen on the internet. Should I worry about this? So far it doesn't affect their main function, just the brightness is what I am concerned right now.
Good question. My wife's (top) aren't as bright as mine (bottom). Screen brightness doesn't affect them; I wonder if anything does.
I think buttons light intensity is somehow related to screen bright. If you have your phone configured to adjust bright according to level of light please put your phone near a lamp and you'll see that buttons will be brighter after some seconds.
My buttons are super bright and both equal in luminescence. They do change with ambient brightness, I keep the display on auto perhaps they get locked in the current state when switching over to manual brightness.
Ah! I figured something out: are you using GravityBox?
I was able to change the intensity of my navbar buttons reliably:
10 Enable "Always on" in Android settings--buttons are dim
20 Enable "Always on" in GravityBox--buttons are bright
30 Set to "Default" in GravityBox--no change
40 Set to "Auto off" in Android Settings--buttons off
50 GOTO 10
Button brightness changes with ambient lighting and if direct light is shone directly on it or not.
Ah! Yes they do...takes a few seconds to change but it does.
Toggling the GravityBox setting just resets the last state.
Either i'm going crazy, or Screen off memo changed between the pre-battery-recall firmware and post-battery-recall.
I could *swear* the line thickness was smaller before the update.
Also, what's with the weird minus-shaped cursor when you hover?
When you start writing, it turns into a normal circle shaped cursor, but as soon as you move the pen away and bring it back to the screen, it's a little dash again, until you actually touch the screen and start writing.
I'm fairly certain it's a bug, i'm just not sure if it's just my device or if it's widespread.
I'm on the original Note 7 PH9 frimware everything is as described. Except this "line thickness" I'm not sure what you're referring to?
I can't say much about line thickness, but it does seem very responsive to pressure - maybe try using the harder grey s-pen tip instead of the stock one, which is softer?
The line is there to show you where you're lined up.
Weird, i'd swear i didn't see that line before.
So if it's there to show where you're lined up, why does it turn into a normal cursor once you touch the screen - and stays that way for as long as you keep the pen in proximity to the screen?
Re: line thickness - good point, maybe they changed the pressure/thickness responsiveness slightly, or this pen has a slightly different feel. I'll try the harder tip.
Just to be clear re: cursor, this is what i was talking about:

Sorry for the potato shots.
Looks the same as mine, US Verizon flameout-proof edition.
I know basically an burn in isn't good, but how much do people have before they've return the phone. I've had the XL 13 days today, and wondering if I should contact Google about the amount of burn I can see in my phone. I keep the brightness on my phone at 50% all the time and seems like a good amount of burn for being at 50% all the time.
Took a couple pics on a grey background, hopefully it visible. I looked on a couple other phones and I can see it in the pics moving the screen side to side a bit helps notice it, depending on the phone.

Even if I had that burn in it wouldn't bother me but when I do the burn in test I can see what looks like burn in at first but then it goes away after a few minutes.
Google RMA any instance of burn in.
I'm on my second exchange. I've decided to keep this one for a few months to wait to see if manufacturing improves then exchange later.
Hopefully in 2018 when we RMA, Google may exchange for the Pixel 3 like they did with Nexus 6P and the original Pixel.
Any burn in is bad. Especially this early
Although many use the term "burn in" it's actually the reverse of that. As the navigation bar is black most of the time, it means the pixels in that part of the screen never light up. As a result they wear off more slowly than the rest of the screen, showing discrepancy against a uniform colour/image, especially grey.
I use Navbar Apps which automatically changes the colour of the nav bar based on the app, it simply means the pixels in that section light up and the wear is similar to the rest of the screen, minimising any appearance of "burn in".
