Screen damage and weird stripes?!? - Galaxy Tab 7.7 General

Hi,
I have some strange stripes in the middle of my screen... they are like reddish and whitish lines... v.strange!
Could it be that hits to the screen are braking the lamps and it becomes like that?!
Is the screen really that sensitive?!
BAHHHH!
Have a nice day,
SK.

I tried picturing it but the image doesn't show it... it's hard to picture the screen... (tried using an iphone 4s)
I do have a screen protector... but I tried rubbing it and it's still there... the stripes won't change position or anything....

Any idea how you can get rid of trapped bubbles in the screen?

Just bought a handset off of eBay, it's in excellent condition and I got a very fair price but there seem to be a few bubbles, the largest of which are in the top left and top right corners of the screen. At first I thought it may have been a second screen protector but it seems to be firmly stuck down so any suggestions on what I can try to remove the bubbles?
Thanks for any help.
are you sure that is not a screen protector?
i've never seen a SAMOLED screen with bubbles inside

I have something like that on my screen that I noticed today. Put my sunglasses on and BAM there it was. Whatever it is, I kinda liked it lol. Had an interesting 3D look to it.
I'm still running stock, I thought it might be my screen protector.

If you put your phone in your pocket you should have a screen protector on it. Anyone that says otherwise is wrong. Sand and dirt can scratch your glass, gorilla glass or not. Get an SGP and it won't mess up your touch experience all that much

Darn it, I got the same never noticed until now, had the phone since November.
Starts a few cm's from the top and goes just over half way down the screen on the left hand side, and it's not a straight line. As you say it's only noticeable on darker screens.

Wrong huh? Never had a screen protector on anything with gorilla glass. I work for a railroad and my job could be dirty at times. Guess where my nexus 4 goes, yup in my pocket. Guess how many scratches are on my screen, zero. Luck? Maybe. Product doing what its supposed to? I think so. Best part about it, I'm anal about my electronics. The screen protectors mess up the screen images pretty bad, no matter how good the screen protector is. I had a gs3 once and dropped it clear on its screen onto pavement. Not one scratch. Your luck may be worse than mine, take my experience lightly because others luck may run thin. I will never buy another worthless waste of money that diminishes the experience of the beautiful screens we are provided. Now with that said if you find that you must absolutely have a screen protector, the last one I bought was for an atrix HD/wet application version for my wife. Installed properly by steaming out a bathroom, being absolutely certain there was zero dust on the screen and following directions to a T that thing was absolutely invisible and clear as day, with zero orange peel, it still changed the appearance though.

Quick questions about screen scratches

i have a small scratch on my screen (thanks to my drunk girlfriend) and i can notice it while the screen is on, it isnt really deep at all, but i can still see the rainbow effect on a white backround. I want to know, if i get a screen protector will it cover up the scratch ? like while the screen is on will i notice it?

yes upto some extent it will surely cover the scratch. try a good screen protector. Atlast depends on the scratch how deep or sharp it is.

Stained screen? Smudged screen? I dont know...

Hey guys.
So yestreday I was using my phone with a light in the room. And I decided (since i now have the s7edge for about 3 weeks) to check unde4 light if there already are any microscratches
... and there are some although I take care of my phone like its a newborn baby. But its also only visible under light. So, the microscratches didnt really bother me... i noticed something else. Its like a stain or a smudge on the edge of the screen, on both edges actually... left and right... and they are not even the same, they are not symmetrical. At first i thought its just dirty but after rubbing it, it didn't go away.
So what I did was, I washed it under water (mind you, this was THE FIRST time I got my s7e under water).
I cleaned it good,wiped it good. But it is still there.
Then I went to google about this and found nothing... all i found, worth checking was some guy who said he had a gap between the FRAME and the SCREEN, and that he had sent it back to get that fixed (and it took samsung like 3 times to send him a good phone). So i checked that video and some people in the comments were reporting that the gap between screen and frame is so big that they can put a piece of paper under there. I of course tried it myself out of curiosity and ny phone also has the GAP between screen and frame. And after i washed it yestrday.... i noticed some water in between the edge and screen... inside that gap.
Now guys tell me those anyone else have that smudge or stain? Does anyone know what it is? (Remember it was there before I even got the phone wet for the first time)
And tell me does anyone else have the gap between screen and frame? And did anyone else notice a little water between screen and frame in that gap? Does it mean its not water and dust proof? I must say that I got it wet pretty good under tap water, but it is still working perfectly... i am just afraid now that there is a ways the water will get into that gap someday and ruin the phone. I really hope this is normal and its just how the phone is built and it is till waterproof and dust proof... but i water can get into that gap i do not know how it can be dust/water proof....
Thank you for all the help guys!
Oh and here are the pictures of the screen smudge/stain. I only took pictures of the left side of the phone screen. 4 pictures. 2 are original, other 2 have a marking so you can easily spot what we are looking at.
And you can maybe try to the gap between frame and screen,but i am not sure it will be possible,as i took that picture to show you the smudge,stain and not the gap.
Also I must say that this smudges are on both sides of the screen visible ONLY when the screen is turned of, or if you have a black wallpaper and if you dont pay attention to it you can hardly even notice it, even with black screen or turned of screen. Its the easiest to see under strong light.
is that the same place for the gap between the edge of the screen or thats for the cover section at the back of the phone.....
also ste you using a screen protector or that stain is directly on or inside your actual screen did u use a screen protector before or not at all
Hi there,
The gap between the screen and the frame is normal. Every phone has it, and I have it also, was multiple times in a swimming pool with the phone and it still works. About the smudge, I do not know, it seems like the oleophobic coating of your screen is weared off. Maybe send it back if it bothers you much?

Hi, I had the same problem, a while ago, with a Sony device. I thought it is water in the first, but I send it to Sony to be save, and they replaced the screen. It was a part of the screen, it peels off, and sticked on the screen-glass.
Nah its not really bothering me... but i dont know what it is and i got scared a little. Like i said it not really visible unles you tilt the phone and turn it under a light or sun.
I dont know how could the oleophobic coat wear off because the phone is 3 weeks old. Bought it three weeks ago, tottally new.
I dont use screen protector but i do have a spigen case.
So I guess its what Pufnasti said. The screen peeled off and stuck to the outer glass...
Pfunasti, should I send it back so they repair it?

I used my brand new Sony deVice only 2 days, and I get this problem. I would say, you should send it to Samsung. It's definitely a hardware problem, and it wasn't caused by you.

Screen Burn In

Hello. I own this device for almost two months now and three days ago I've noticed that there is yellow screen burn on the right top corner of the device which is visible only on white background. I'm wondering if there is way to fix it without screen replacing . And since it's LCD I've heard that it's possible to get rid of burn. Thanks.
Did U use any screen protectors with gel?

Nope, I haven't applied any protection.
this sounds to me more like the LCD took some damage not bad enough to release the LCD Fluid but to make a blemish, i had this happen when i damaged my old screen
That's not burn, that's LCD damage. Phone has been dropped and hit that corner. Burn would be more uniform across the entire display.
