I am about to send in my phone for a replacement and just wondering but are there any more water indicator stickers other than the one under the battery? That one is still white, but are there internal water damage stickers. I am just asking because my phone has been is some misty conditions so water may have gotten in through the speaker.
there is one on the phone itself in the battery, so if its white and the battery is white then u should be ok. being in a misty place shouldnt really be a problem, i think they are more or less concerned it the phone has been submerged in any kind of liquid.
Okay, good to know, though I have rubbed the screen with some water to clean off some persistent fingerprint though. Both stickers are still white however
FYI Bleach on a q-tip will make them white if they changed color 'cause of water

Near the middle of the device I can see two very light pink marks, I have dropped the phone a few times. I haven't dropped it in water so it can't be water damaged, they're only small and feint but are quite annoying
Maybe it's damaged from the drops..
You might have to change the display (not glass) at some point.
Noticed yesterday when my screen is white it looks black smudges under the actual lcd as if its the glue or something, its gets worse when the phones hot hence why I think its a liquid substance. It hasn't been wet and is in A condition so I can rule water out.
My phone has knox warranty tripped, will Samsung still sort a hardware fault not related to this?
mine has it, but it's only really visible when on a white screen, under bright sunlight.. my partner has the same phone, also has it..
but i really can't be bothered to go mess around trying to get it repaired or replaced, it doesn't bother me that much, because i can't see it under normal use.. OK under bright sun will be more normal in the summer, but i'm really not that bothered, but that's just me i guess
Thats how I noticed it, in bright light outdoors... It's annoying but no the end of the world I suppose...
You would think samsung would not be making these types of manufacturing errors by now..
has anyone had an issue with your screen showing markings that can't be wiped off? How did you fix it? I have a picture of what mine looks like. https://imgur.com/iPKOUVA
There is either some agent on the touchscreen, fungus or bacteria in between touchscreen and display, or degradation(probably also fungus or bacteria) in the organic layer of the display. Only in the first case there may be another cure than replacing the display unit. By holding it towards a light source in the right angle, you should be able to tell whether the spots are on the surface or below. Then try to clean with glass/tft/plastic cleaner.
In the nineties i got an emergency light with a light emitting organic foil and a 16 year warranty. After a few months it developed some little dark spots like these, which grew within weeks till half of the foil was no longer glowing. I then dumped the thing, warranty or not.
Extreme air humidity or water damage will increase the chance, that this has biological reasons.
Whenever my S8+ is dirty, I can see the rectangle where the imei sticker was in a different light than the rest of the back of the phone. Most noticeable if there is light in the room. Anyone else? I tried rubbing alcohol but no go
Yes on my note 9
Probably gonna always be there. Why sweat the small stuff enjoy your device. That spot isnt gonna make or break it
They will all have this stain that's only slightly visible in certain light ,if you pull the imei square sticker off.i never noticed it untill I saw this thread today it's only visible when the back is greasy and dirty.
I think I found a hardware defect on my phone.
It doesn't affect the functions of the phone whatsoever, but it's a defect nonetheless.
There is a tiny tiny hole underneath the gorilla glass on the black bezel between the screen protector and the case. See attached picture, where the red circle is. This hole is super tiny, I can't see it under well lit room or outside or even in the attached pic. I'm sharing this for the location of the hole so maybe others can check on their phone if there is such hole. If I check in a complete dark room, I can see it. And it's visible only from certain angle, as the pic was taken. Screen has to be on, in order to see the light being emitted from this tiny hole, I'm talking about less than a normal needle point. It has no effect on how the phone work, but I found this last night. At first I thought it's a speck of dust, but it wouldn't go away whatever I did. Then I realized it's a light coming through under the gorilla glass. I'm not going to return the phone for this, but still it's a defect.
Check your phone and let me know if anybody has same problem ?
Mine does not have this problem.
None here
