I noticed a tiny piece of dirt on my screen 2 weeks ago, I tried to wipe it off but was amazed it was right inside the screen! Some days later I noticed more dirt scattered all over the screen (inside the screen) and they are appear to be growing slowly!
Is it just me? What have I done wrong? I love my tab so much but this blemish is taking away my wonderful experience!
Somebody help!!!

Contact warranty support. It sounds like there may be a slight gap in your display that's allowing dust in.
That or it's spawning.
I've got dust under my screen too... it sucks but IdK if anybody can do anything?

any pictures?
are they dead pixels? Upload a few pictures. I'd say bring it back in for warranty service.

So I noticed this when I bought my tablet and tried to disregard it but after 2 weeks its starting bother me. I'm pretty sure its a dead pixel and trying to decide if I should bring it back to office depot and ask for a new tablet. What do you guys think? I posted two pictures to show what I'm seeing. On the first picture, its right by the N in education. I know, probably seems picky but when I'm on a white page, its pretty noticeable.

Well, if it bothers you then you should return the tablet and get one that doesn't bother you, simple as that. I also have a stuck pixel on mine, but it doesn't bother me at all and thus I won't be returning mine.
a white pixel (stuck on) I would definitely return.
I have two miscolored pixels on mine that chose to not care about. It's common with TFT screens..
You can fix it........unless its a grey or a black dead pixel......massage it hard and try to move it towards the nearest side the effect is not instantaneous.......use an app called pixel fixer.....leave ur tab on charging while using that app......do both the methods and it would be gone in a week.....(worked for my phone)....

That's a horrible recommendation for an LCD that sits behind a gorilla glass touch screen. Unless you tell him to take the gorilla glass digitizer first he'll be risking breaking the digitizer before he ever gets close to the lcd!

Rubbing the screen doesn't work on devices with real glass displays, especially not gorilla glass. That method only works on displays where the glass is flexible or malleable (like computer lcd monitors or earlier/older phones).
To the OP:
If you're brave you COULD attempt some very gentle finger taps right above the area. I suggest trying to find a software fix though. If you try and try and it still sticks, then go ahead and return. I couldn't deal with that on my screen either.
Exchange it for another one NOW. You paid for it. You should have nothing less than a good screen with no stuck pixel.
Sorry to read this.
I'm the guy who's windshield and glasses are never clean enough, so a dead or wonky pixel would drive me nuts.
Thanks for the suggestions but I ended up just taking it back. Like a few of you said, I paid for it so I expect it all to work right. They took it back no questions asked. All is well in the new one

I upgraded phone a few days ago because my digitizer issues were becoming increasingly unbearable. Furthermore, I had this whitish ring around the edge of the screen. I'm thinking that the two might be correlated, and so I was wondering if anybody else could provide input.

I was having issues too, any amount of moisture on my fingers would cause my screen to go crazy, send text make calls hang up on calls.. was driving me nuts so I went out and got an HTC one S, as bell doesnt carry the one X, or any top of the line phones... anyway
I didnt like that the text wasnt as sharp on the one S and a few other things so I took it back and got a $20 screen protector put on my atrix at Solo and its been working great since. no white rim or screen peeling issues for far.
What did you upgrade to?
Edit: nm guessing S3 by your sig lol.
Yep, got the s3 and I'm loving it. I had the white rim on my atrix about a month after I purchased it, but never thought much of it. But I'm just perplexed as to how randomly the screen started to deteriorate since June that now I'm in search of a catalyst lol

THE HORROR:
Had my nexus 16gb plugged in on my bed, knocked it off and cracked the plastic bezel in a 1inch chunk. It still works! Sort of... Except for the backlight. The only way the backlight works is by putting pressure over the spot the bezel cracked in. When it does work, it now has screen bleed issues, and quite badly... The screen works at all times, touch works, the lcd works at all times, it seems to just be the backlight.
The question is: Has anyone had something similar happen? Should i try to get a replacement screen? Take it apart (I'm quite handy with mechanical things) and see if the display connection is loose? Send it to Asus saying "screen is bleeding, new Nexus please?" Then playing dumb about the damage?
Any help would be awesome!
P.S. I'm a Jr in HS, and used the money from my summer job to buy it, and don't have enough left over to buy a new one... Especially since i need a 16gb.

I would send it back like you said, and act as though you had no idea about the damage you just want a perfect device and light bleed doesn't = A perfect device.
That is if your sending it through courier, if you got it from a local store that won't work. As you can't blame it on the shipping :/
Gutted for you btw, dont take this wrong way but SHUDDA GOTTA CASE
It's only 2 weeks old! Seriously have an amazon prime case coming that i ordered before the accident... It's just crap luck... I'll just pretend like i have no.clue what happened, but only after unrooting and installing the stock rom...

Sorry about your loss bud hope it works out for you!
Side note, are you from the cm7dx2 irc?
Sent from my MB870 using xda premium
I did use cm7 and eclipse while I had my x2. Good chance you did see me in irc.
I know I should stay out of this, but the same people that are advising you to lie about your damage are the same ones that would flame you for saying that you were using a torrent to get paid games for free.
Do what you feel is right.
Never told him to lie just said I hope it works out for him. I feel sorry for a kid that saved his money to buy the device and then has a accident. But I never told him to lie about it. Just to clarify.
Just so both of you know, I posted a couple of ideas with no real preference, and am probably gonna end up opening it tonight and seeing if the connection is loose. The question was about what you would suggest to someone in a bind like mine.
What was the warez apps about though? Just for a metaphor? (If someone asks me how to get paid apps for free i just tell them to pony up $.99, even if i do know where to get it.)

Also, about pretending not to know. They would figure it out instantly. I've also excluded a blatantly fraudulent idea (buying one from walmart, returning mine, and keeping the new one).

Yeah, tough luck with that. My wife did the same thing to mine but it bounced on the carpet.. lucky.

Yes, the top left corner is squeaking when I speak on the phone. Doesn't bother me too much though.

Maybe this is part of the build? If others are experiencing it I wouldn't worry about it.
are you in UK? Do they cross ship? Will they pay for return shipping?

Mine squeaks ever so slightly at the top part if pressed too. It doesn't really bother me. I have a squeaky Thinkpad x220 that nonetheless is as strong as a tank. You can always find faults on these products, I have a feeling if I get mine exchanged for such a small thing I'll end up with a new device with something else to be bothered about.

You'll kick yourself if the replacement comes back with an even worse problem. Like dead pixels/bad screen tint.
Not in HK,,, i went to the store and open at least 2 units to choose....and of course full test ...
Got it replaced ...with aperfect one. but it probably squake again after a while....after some stress on my pants...hehehe
Anyone experience otherwise?

Just noticed bezel near volume rocker is squeaking, n I hate it.
Mines squeaks too, but it's more of the back cover than the bezel.
Might be the way the cover is designed, after a few openings, it deforms slightly?

Guy the top bezel is squeaking because of that feature in the movement settings.. The double tap on the top of the phone makes you come back at the top of the list of your contacts for example.
Try to enable that feature and press two times the bezel that is squeaking.
It wasn't like this in my gs3,but it's more sensitive now.
But this squeaking is a physicsl defect...???

I completely agree. There is no such thing as a perfect device. Everything has an error here or there. So if there is no real problem then be happy I'd exchange mine for problems with the screen or camera. Buttons too. But because it squeaks a little? I'd say forget about it. But that's just me. It's a premier device and you deserve to be satisfied. if you're not satisfied then I'd suggest getting another.

I've had one white one Grey with squeek sound near the volume rocker. And on top of phone when pressing the bezel down against the screen. Hate it and replace it.

Being a long time Blackberry user in the past device squeaks were very common.
A couple months after release a daring owner would take it apart find squeak post fix in forums.
I expect the same will happen with this device.
I'm picking up Sprint Version on Thursday , If it squeaks I will post fix
Hi guys, I've had my new toy for a couple of days, flashed ics rom and root is running like a dream... And I'm really pleased. A step up from my last tab 8.9. However I noticed that at the top left corner there is a tiny bit of play (movement) between the screen and the aluminium casing (if I press down on the screen) . I'm talking maybe 0.5mm or less... But the other corners are solid. Also if I press the casing just below the g of the Samsung logo, pushing the casing against the screen, then there is also a tiny bit of play there too. Is this common? Or could my "used like new" purchase from Amazon have had a screen or battery replaced?
Otherwise the condition is perfect so I should probably shut up and stop complaining!!

P.S Would be helpful to hear from anyone who has actually opened up their tablet, as I am thinking this is what has happened.... Many thanks!!
I've definitely got this too on mine which I bought brand new about a month ago. Bottom right hand corner clicks when pressed, doesn't bother me much but should be covered under warranty. For the record I've dropped mine a few times, nothing major but could explain the problem.

Wow. We have the same issue. Lower right hand corner. There's clicking when I press hard.

This is a common problem, something to do with the clip design and it is on all 4 corners. Even after you have fixed it, it will come back in due time so I stop thinking about it.
Hi guys,
I'm experiencing the same issue with my tab, albeit a bit worse -- there is a slight screen lift at the left side near the SIM slot. It doesn't bother me that much but considering that this is a premium device, I would've expected better quality...
