The topic-title sounds to me for a mod to get a blur-effect behind alpha-transparent images(like statusbar) like it's in Windows Aero
Would be great to have

If you try this, try with battery door removed to allow it to vent.
I think my phone also has those blur spots. On which part of phone do you have those spots? On my phone i see these spots over the capacitive buttons. These are not scratches and not even water drops. It cant be wiped out but it feels that its not on the screen its underneath somewhere.
about Half of the screen has these blurs and also on the capacitive buttons.... they cannot be from inside because when I use ethanol or water on the screen, I see the blur marks, and water or ethanol will be float on it....
if i change my screen with replacement(Touch Screen w/Frame)... will Defy lose its water resistance???

I'm using my SGS for almost a month now and there're appearing strange spots on the screen. I have absolutely no idea what it is and what's causing it. Has anyone seen something like this before?

Never before.. the screen is totally off? What do you use to clean the screen? Do you feel the same touching the bright area and the opaque area?
Silly question maybe but has it got a screen protector on it?
Is it very humid where you are? Looks like moisture under the screen.
Take it to Samsung, maybe it's some kind of defect that's allowing moisture in.
There's no screenprotector on it. When it just appeared I couldn't feel the spots, now I can by moving my finger over them. They look like tiny scratches caused by sand but I always carry my phone in my pocket so that's just impossible.
At the photo the screen is totally turned off. I don't use any chemicals to clean the screen.

No idea.. I'm using screen protector until I got it out the box. By the way I always carry it in my pants pocket, and normally I use jeans... but the protector looks fine.
The area does look like the usual place to touch the screen (normal keyboard usage at the bottom of the screen and up/down scrolling in the middle). My only conclusion is either a defect screen or you've used it once without noticing you still had some chemicals on your skin.

I never carry something in the same pocket a where I carry my phone in. As I move my finger over the screen I can slightly feel a bit of rough surface but when I clean my screen it's not visible while some other damaging is.
If it is in fact a damaged screen I wouldn't panic too much. There are tutorials online on how to repair damaged screens (as long as they're glass). You sand and polish the screen and it comes out as good as new. Although, for the SGS it would probably be best to remove the screen from the chasis first (they don't remove the screen as there is no bezel).
What games have you been playing? It look more like rubbing marks on several games that I can think off.
The damage is probably under the glass from excessive pressure over a pride of time.

The coating has come off the screen it looks like... something must have been on your hands that burnt it off.
It's almost impossible the damage has been caused by excessive pressure. Since a few days I can actually feel the spots as they are a bit more rough then the rest of the screen. If the coating has come of the screen, will it be accepted when I return it warranty?
I had exactly this but a bit smaller. I took it back to the store (Hi) and requested a repair. The first time i noted 2 errors for it:
- Screen screwed
- GPS fix doesnt work or takes long
So... what they did; they flashed 2.2 and sent it back as repaired (funny I downgraded it to 2.1 stock after running 2.2.1 for weeks for this repair...). The folks at Hi agreed it was bullsh*t and they sent it again with the notice they didn't repair the screen. After another week the online status page said they didn't find a defect. Hi called them before they sent it back to have another look at it, since I even provided pictures with a red circle around the spots I'm still confused how they could miss this (maybe only blind people work at Teleplan...?). Then a few days later i saw they replaced "front mea i9000". Since today i got it back with a brand new screen. So.. if anyone else has this problem: send it back for repair and provide the picture in this topic to be extra clear (I wish I saw this photo, otherwise I would have provided this one with it).
I have the same thing only a lot smaller...
I have a circle on my screen from my €2 currency. Its not a scratch but something weird...

did not you touch it accidentally with a "dirty" finger? (like isopropyl alcohol or adhesive remover etc) I had a similar damage on my HTC phone long time ago... I forgot to wash my hand before I picked up a call.
Looks like pressure damage. Had something similar with a htc touch. Looked like a oil like fluid within the screen. Amazingly the screen works still great. But the touch had a resistive screen, the sgs ones is capacitive. This in mind I don't know if it could be the same problem.

I've got dust under my screen, you can see it in light a little, but in direct sunlight you can see a ton of really small specs all underneath the screen. This has always bugged the hell out of me with phones..is it really that hard to make the screen sealed off good? Anyways, just wandering if anyone else had dust and how much dust they had. I'm about to rip the thing open and wipe it off myself...
I also have dust under my screen mostly because i work with my phone in my pocket all day. Unfortunately the only way to get the dust out of there is to take the dang thing apart. I don't think that blowing computer air in it will help as it doesn't have anywhere to go.

Yep, I said in my post that that might be what I'll have to do...but maybe it's good for warranty? And I have the phone in my pocket all day too, it still shouldn't get dust under the screen.
I keep my phone in my pocket all day at work, some of the time when at home, and all the time when I go out somewhere. No screen protector or case. I have no dust under the screen. I do remove the rear cover periodically and clean any dust out from the battery compartment and surrounding areas, so maybe this helps.

Dude digitizer is fine may b.. because wen i opened those dots r inside the lcd.. Is there any way that can remove those or i have to new lcd?
If that what is cost of lcd?
It's called hot pixels, commonly it's because of impacts (dropping it etc.) and something like liquid crystals got out of place.
But this is my firse time seeing this happen because of accual "hot" temp.
The way to cure is the same "keep your phone in cold and dry place for about a day",
like under aircon, or put it into waterploof plastic bag and keep in normal refrigurator (not a freezing one).
But becareful, you openned your phone and waterproof seals may come off, your phone may not defy water anymore.
It's may or maynot work, if it not work you might need to replace the LCD (not digitizer, you got it right.)
Goodluck, you'll need it.
Well get a new lcd altogther then shudnt take no more than 5mins to replace when you have the part and just shop around to find a replacement google is you friend and best of luck

Put in a plastic bag and remove the air with a vacuum cleaner and clamp the bag. Is very weak chance to solve the problem but a new lcd is not a fortune and is not very hard to replace.
Hello,
today when I was cleaning the screen I noticed there is a little piece of dust or something under the glass, it is not in the screen it is exactly in the black frame surounding the screen when it's turned on. Is this normal? Do you guys have this too or I got an defective one? Is this covered by warranty?
I am including a picture.
Thank you

Both my S4's don't have that. I would try and get it exchanged under warranty.
I have a tiny piece of hair under my HTC one screen and it's kinda s bother. Unfortunately the store policy where I got it from don't allow for exchange, so am keeping it this way until HTC does something about it. Seems like HTC and Samsung were rushing the production up and forgot all about quality control.
Mines not got it, Id get it replaced

There is a vid of the factories that assemble cell phones and tablets. It's interesting..i was impressed the women are working fast and professionally but it bugged me that there is absolutely no dust control, lint free clothes, hair nets, etc. Basically theres a good chance every device will have stuff on the display under the glass. I think most people just think it happened when they put it in their pocket the first time.

Hi all,
I just got my new Galaxy S5 and the first I wanted to do was to take a few pictures underwater. However, after I put the battery on, I noticed that the back cover makes a creaking noise when I push it near the heart rate sensor and I can see the back cover near the sensor going down when I push it. Does this compromises the water resistance of the phone?
Regards
I'm thinking that there might be water remnants inside. Water + rubber is known to produce squeaking noise.
I still haven't put the phone underwater. I noticed the problem wheni was taking the phone out of the box. When I apply light force to the area around the sensor I can see the back cover moving up and down and it makes more of a clicking noise. Any ideas?
Sent from my SM-G900H using XDA Free mobile app
It could be a part inside is just bumping to another part. Alignment is not 100% perfect, especially the rubber part for water-resistance because it was just stuck to the cover and is originally not part of the cover itself.
Thanks. One last question. So, after the phone has been submerged and I take it out, fully dry it from the outside, is it normal to be water under the back cover? The part which is not covered by the rubber part?

The rubber lining on the interior face of the back cover should keep any liquid from continuing its entry to the phone's internals, but it doesn't prevent the liquid from sipping through from the outside. Check out how large the notch at the power button area that you use to open up the back cover.
But you should dry the phone first as is for a few hours to be sure no more liquid could enter. When you're sure that it's safe, open the back cover then remove the battery and dry the phone face up so that any liquid residue will go down, at the same time dry the back cover separately too. And be sure that everything is dry, including the ports, before you reattach the battery.
And if the unfortunate event that the phone turned off when it was wet, do not attempt to turn it on. Remove the back cover and battery immediately and let them all dry for at least 24hrs, focus an electric fan to them if you can, to be sure that you max out the opportunity to dry them. And during the drying process, do not keep on touching them to avoid liquid moving inside.
I hope this answers your question.
Hi there, even I have the same problem. I noticed that both the the back cover and the s-view cover shows a slight on the power button side in the centre. I firmly believe mine is a phone manufacturing issue as two cover can have the exact same issues...let see if I can get replacement as its not cover problem. Check the attached pic

It's an alignment problem that I have explained to OP. That rubber lining for water-resistance is prone for misalignment and probably warping too. Rubber is known to stretch due to rise in temperature. If it warped or misaligned to an embossed area, that part will be more elevated than the rest.
I have same problem, but I got used to it.
When I put my back cover on girlfriends phone there is no noise.
Its like the problem is phone itself.
I tested its waterproof capabilities even though the back cover wasn't properly aligned. Every thing was good. No water got inside the internals.

I wont "test" my water proof ability with a cover that fits correctly :laugh:
Even though no water gets in, I have a question again. The water does go inside the back cover but it doesn't go as the rubber line which is a good thing (That's how it is supposed to work).
I always wipe the water inside after a bath but if I am at a pool for example and I put the phone inside the water but then I don't wipe the water inside for about, 6-7 hours, would there be a problem?

That part is considered to be harmless to get wet, so it isn't a problem if you do not remove the water there for even forever.
I have one last concern and I hope other Galaxy S5 users can help. When you remove the battery cover, you will notice that the area where the side bezel and the back of the phone are connected, it looks like it is melted in order to prevent water.
However, not all the area looks like it is melted. For example, at the area of the bezel where the volume buttons are, there is a small gap between the bezel and the back part of the phone and I can put my nail inside the gap.
I am wondering if all units have this gap or if my device is faulty. Any help is appreciated.
