Problems with Screen/Photos

So I just noticed on a few of my pictures that I've taken, there seems to be some kind of distortion or something. Happens mostly on dark photos but there have been a few photos that I've taken during the day that I've noticed this on aswell. Does anyone else have this issue or know what the cause may be?
Far left of the picture that goes from the bottom of the screen going up. Only happens in pictures after they have been taken.

Is it the tablet or the version of android?

It's likely the apps you're using.
The xda app in particular is terrible. You're better off using a browser

Strange... why is this?

I have the same problem too, its really annoying while watching movies or youtube.
Can any body confirm that too?
I'm thinking about replacing the handset.
I dont think the handset is issues, but rather the software. Do you also have the pink tint on black?

I think this isnt the same as the smearing problem

I still have this issue. I noticed this on youtube as well and its quite irritating. What to do? Im sure my display isnt defect because everything else is fine. Im wondering if it has to do with the pink tint bug.

If you mean pixelated blocks in the dark areas of video you can alleviate it somewhat by experimenting with colour modes and brightness settings combinations. Overall it is because your screen is too good and reveals the compression video artefacts present in video files more than an LCD does. It's not your phone, it's the file you are watching.

I don't notice this on my computer monitor even though it's the same res..
It's not just blocky.. it shows black pitch black (if things are supposed to be black) around the rest of the video so it looks really weird.

Weird buzz when tapping phone

Is anyone else having a weird hollow spring noise coming from their phone? Its audible when tapping the screen. Did i get a lemon or is this normal, it has been driving me insane.

im pretty sure its just the vibration mechanism. My s2 and s3 did this too.
Mine does this I believe when I pick the phone when screen is off to let me know I have notifications.

It isn't a vibration, it is more like something is loose inside the phone that makes a buzz when I tap on the screen.
That's just how the phone is built. Like if I smack it against my hand it'll feel like it's kinda vibrating. It's not an issue.

Correct. that is the vibration mechanism you are hearing/feeling.
I think it is kind of weird, but that is what it is.

Happens to me as well, figured it was nothing to worry about.

it's smearing because whenever you see black on the phone the pixels are completely off, so when you swiped quickly in app drawers it's the phone not being able to turn on the pixels on quick enough so you see smearing.
Thanks for the reply. But is it software or hardware problem
