I believe thats called LCD mura.. going to have to exchange , return or RMA , I've seen it from people in Prime forum affected by it
I had the same thing develop, mine was smaller though. It's in for repair/exchange right now.
Do me a favour, can you press the screen in the area around where the fault is, and tell me if you see any LCD 'swirling' around the fault itself? In my case, there was a small bright white smudge that appeared one day; it looked as if it was behind the display, in the backlight diffuser or something. When I pressed anywhere on the screen, LCD swirling could be seen around the smudge. I have my own pet theory that something is putting pressure on the LCD from behind, like an overtightened screw or something. This theory is supported somewhat by your fault, since the smudge in your case is exactly the same distance from the left bezel as mine, but closer to the top bezel by roughly a quarter of a screen's length, consistent with how you might imagine the screws or fasteners to be distributed.
Can anyone confirm or deny the presence of components behind the screen that would potentially contact the back of the LCD, or does the display sit on a flat surface? Again, it's just a theory, but it seems very odd that there appears to be something putting pressure on the back of my screen in one spot.

Yeah, my screen swirls like mad at heavy presses. Returning it, for refund or replacement I am not sure.

I don't think capacitive screens are pressure sensitive. Any LCD will do that if you press hard on it.

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'm close to my 14 days return period at bb and suddenly I noticed that the glass screen on my Iconia is separating a bit noticeable enough for my fingers to feel it when I touch that section. It is the area at the docking connector side, the screen is raised a bit higher than the side metal bezel. When I pushed it down hard it flushed back in but raised again after some time. I never noticed it before and I've been really using it daily for more than a week now and only until yesterday I saw this. I feel really bad because I really love my Iconia and was really planning to keep it. I had the same issue with my HTC EVO, but I held on to it because I've read in the EVO forum that others have even worst screen separation and mine wasn't as bad. So I'm wondering if most Iconias have this issue so I don't need to return it anymore. I've checked the display unit at bb and it has same screen lifting around that section near the docking connector.

Same issue here. I noticed it the other day. I have a week left on my 14 day return period. Honestly it is not that big of a problem to me. I cannot push it back down, I just figured it was made that way. I noticed the demo unit at my local best buy was the same way. I do not think it is a deal breaker to me.
Yeah mine is like that too :\
MMm - no trouble here yet. Then again I was a first generation nook owner who never had a button crack, and those were hard to find ;-)
I take mine to and from work every day and use it at least 2 hours a day not counting weekend software development time where it's my test platform, so you could call mine pretty high wear and tear.
So it seems like it is common to have that slight lift on the screen and hopefully will not get worst than it is. I will just keep it and not replace with another one, who knows the replacement might even be worst or have dust like the others were complaining. I've put too much time setting this up and I really love it even with all the criticism it gets from other users.
I feel a slight raise on mine - but far from calling it an issue.
There's some dust particles getting under there now...think Staples would accept a return for that? Still in my 14 days. It's annoying.
Staples told me they would take it back for any reason in 14 days... even if you just decided you didn't like it.

Oh no, I hate dust inside the screen. Was your screen raised really high or just a bit?
Sent from my A500 using Tapatalk
lol. There shouldn't be any question at all....take it back.
I'm not returning mine but this is irritating for sure
I believe it is designed that way, just as there is the gap between the glass and frame on the opposite side (where the microphone is placed in the center).
I for one find the A500 a great piece of hardware, and this doesn't bother me a bit... I actually hadn't noticed until you mentioned it here ;-)

Raised here as well
Looks like an intentional raise to me though. The sides are flush and begin to raise about 1.5 inches in from the side of the tablet toward the center until it reaches it's highest point dead center to the dock port. Then back down by the same amount.
If it is not intentional it sure is a nicely implemented defect.
If I run my finger along the edge of the screen I can feel the glass being raised ever so slightly, fractions of a millimeter, towards the middle, above the dock connector.
Though as I look closer and use a metal ruler I find that it's not the glass that is raised but rather the bezel that is lowered slightly in the middle, above the connector.
All of them I have seen are like that, don't think its a defect at all.
It looks like it is easy for dust to get in past the microsd slot area as you can see the back of the screen through the cracks. I would be careful outside and in dusty areas. I am going to look for a sleeve that covers it or something...it should be sealed better than this.
I haven't had any dust yet, (hopefully never) and my screen is raised. (or the bezel is lowered)
I'm getting that too now. It's definately raised. I checked when the OP first posted this and it was not like this. Now I can press on the glass just above and slightly to the right of the dock connector and the screen goes down flatter. The raised area is not quite centered. I've had this tablet 3 days shy of 1 month.

Hi all,
Had my nexus 10 for about a few hours and already see dust under the screen.
I have not removed any of the plastic from the device at all even and has spent most of its time just charging on my desk.
Anyone else see this on theirs?

It is very unlikely that it is dust under the screen. Have you checked that it is not just dust / ding on the top screen protector that comes with the tablet? Remove that and check as most likely it is dust on that plastic screen protector on the top.
The display is bonded with the screen so it is highly unlikely that any gap is left for dust to get between front glass and screen.

People have reported that there is dust in the screen from the manufacturing process. But yes take the protector off first then report back.
It probably is, My first one had dust under the screen. If it was just under the screen protector you would most likely have a bubble.
I returned it and exchanged at a different Walmart.
I Peeled back the protector and could see it with the screen off. It was indeed a white spec of dust.

It's actually highly likely if it looks white with the screen off, but black when it's on. One of the 3 I'm waiting to return, has exactly this defect.
Either someone at Samsung's factory has dandruff, or they ran out of pledge.
Seriously though it's so common Samsung really need to get on top of whatever is causing it.

My understanding is it is pretty rare for samsungs to have dust under the screen due to optical lamination, which is why I was so confused / angry at the dust. Unacceptable for a tablet at this price point. Especially coming right out of the box and never having the plastic even taken off..
And this one sadly seems to have an imperfection in the glass itself. It's got a single spot that appears black, and when looking at it with the screen off you can see it, it's not white, but rather looks like a super tiny spec.
Hard to describe this, I have never seen a screen have it.. I tried hitting it with isopropyl but, it isn't on the top level, and looks inside the glass itself. You can see its reflection on the pixels with the screen off.
How odd.
Drove 40 minutes to find #3.
It has the same issue as the second, some kind of defect in the glass.
Think I am just going to return it instead of exchanging for more. It is obvious Samsung doesn't know what the hell they are doing.
Sad because I love the tablet.
The second and third devices I received both had dust in the screen.

Saddens me to hear that. I am probably going to keep trying again and again for a bit. Walmart in the first return screwed me by sending it back to gift card, so all exchanges now show the gift card as origional source. A refund is going to be a headache

The second one had at least 6 visible specks of dust under the screen and was sent back for that reason. My third unit has just one spot of dust which can be found when looking closely. Held at regular viewing distance you really need to look hard for it, so I'm keeping the device.

This is not a dust spec actually. It is something inside the glass. It looks like something that cured inside the glass and as I said, im likely to just keep bugging Walmart sadly. Wouldn't be so bad if they had a real stock of them to exchange.

Would a dead pixel bother you?
If not move along..
If yes then understand that this dust isn't just a clean freak issue worried about an untidy tablet
The dust shows as black dots on white backgrounds, much like a dead pixel. Considering most of the time you'll have a white background, it is very noticeable.
Acceptable on a £159 n7? Maybe?
On a £400 n10, no way.

That's been my point. If this was a Nexus 7 or on my old Kindle fire, I'd say well damn and move on. Heck my Rezound has a dust spec under the screen and I survive.
A brand new out of the box tablet that was 500 dollars? Yea, that's going back every time. Once dust is under the screen it almost always just gets worse and worse.
I just just my replacement Nexus 10. First one has a stuck pixel and some bad bleeding along the bottom right edge. Not horrible, but annoying.
Second one, the bleeding is better, but there's a HUGE dust particle stuck under the screen sitting on the panel.
It's MUCH more noticeable as on any time there's color on the screen, all you see is a black dot. The replacement is going back.
Honestly, as much as I love Android and the whole Nexus idea, the QC these companies put into the Nexus devices is horrific. I had to go through 3 N7's before I got one that had "acceptable" screen lift on the left side (and this one has a faulty light sensor that will turn the screen off when Auto-Brightness is on), and I'm now thinking about going for a 3rd Nexus 10. As nice as the tablet is, stuff like this gets REALLY annoying.
Is it true there no way to remove that spec of dust? Is the panel fused to the screen?

Walmart may be the problem. They don't get the highest quality of any product that's why they can sell it cheaper. One could imagine some of the stuff they sale barely passing the manufacturers quality assurance. Walmart would be the last place I would buy electronics. Go to any of the office stores for it. The quality will be better than at least Walmart and they stand behind the products they sell better. Most will go the length to make sure you walk away a satisfied customer. Best Buy is questionable too, just saw a video on youtube where the guy said his sealed box had half the contents missing. If that is at all possible and the AC adapter caused a wall fire. Still scratching my head on that one.
Dust inder glass
I too had this problem with two units (original and exchange) directly from the Google Play Store -- for now, the only way to get the Nexus 10 in Canada. Each had a rather large and unignorable speck of dust under the glass the near the middle of the screen. Since the glass and screen are fused this is obviously a manufacturing error on Samsung's part and, evidently, not an uncommon one.
The whole point of the Nexus 10 for me was the display and to have it so marred defeated the whole point of having one. I was so disgusted by the whole affair that I just returned the second one and have sworn off buying anything made by Samsung until I can stomach it. A hand-me-down Nexus 7 will serve my purposes for now -- at least I know it doesn't have any flaws.
This rather begs the question, is there a trend with Samsung where the first batch of the first generation of a new technology is defect-prone and then gets better later on or is shoddy quality assurance par for the course for the lifetime of a product? I don't buy tablets often (I'm still using an original Xoom) so I'm not quite sure how it goes.
I just noticed a dust speck under the screen after a month and a half ownership of this fantastic tablet. Now I just can't ignore it. I can't return it to staples at this point... will manufacturer warranty cover it?
Good Day
My gf's white I9500 has a tiny bubble (or what seems like one) under the screen of her phone.
It is not showing on the pictures I take so I will try my best to explain it to you.
The phone was purchased on Saturday 14th September and she noticed it on Tuesday evening. There is NO screen protector on the phone.
So it's located towards the top and slightly left hand side of the phone screen.
It's quite small probably 1-2mm
When I press it, it seems to disappear but reappears shortly. When I blow on to the screen to create steam as if I am going to clean it, everywhere around the bubble streams up except the actual bubble. When I run my nail across the screen I feel maybe a slight bump.
In my opinion I feel the last coat on the glass was a thin film which was not put on properly due to dust or an air pocket.
Has anybody seen this or have an idea of what it is and what has caused it?
Samsung should clearly cover it because it seems like a defect

Take it back from where she bought it and ask for replacement. They will check it and if is a manufacturing defect (which 100% is), she will get a new one.
Ask for replacement if that tiny bubble really bothers her.

But on my device, the bubbles appear and disappear without a trace. I couldn't establish a pattern or a reason. See the attached picture.

I forgot to say I removed the screen protector and the bubbles are still there, unchanged. It's something wrong with the samsung amoled + gorilla glass combo.
Today is expanded, see the picture
LE: later it went away, slowly. This time it responded to pressing on the glass of the screen, the more I pressed, the more it dissipated away slowly.
It's like the glass hasn't been applied properly from the factory. But why is it appearing randomly? Why do the air bubbles come back?

Get Samsung to repair it. They come and go most likely cause of pressure? Most of the time I guess this bubbles appear is cause the loca is being spread away but when pressure is pressed against it the bubbles go away? I'm not sure but just warranty service it and get it over with.

I've noticed a weird oval shaped splotch that can sometimes form in the center of the screen. This seems to be caused by pressure applied to the front and/or back of the tablet causing the clear panel that we touch to stick to the screen underneath.
I noticed this a couple times after taking it out of my rolling bag. I have the slide cover and keep it in a neoprene case which is in turn inside of another neoprene case. I figured it was just a matter of me having too much stuff in the bag. Then I noticed it once after just having the tablet in my jacket pocket.
Putting it in front of a heat vent and applying slightly pressure on the sides will get the panels unstuck, but I'd rather not have to do that. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Are these tablets prone to this?

Best to treat tablets with kindness as most are stressed easily. My Google Nexus 7 2012 model used to have strange screen phenomena.
Never bend, nor drop, or push in the screen unless you really are intending to do what you do. Doing the heat thing may help you to bring into formity and parts that have moved or never put properly in manufacturing, but you also risk plastic stress and breakage..

Did you recently get your tablet? I remember reading a lot of people having this issue when their tablets were new, but after they had time to settle and for all of the bonding materials to fully dry and cure it went away. Of course any LCD will splotch the colors on a spot if you press too hard, though it tends to just happen for that moment and then go away... when I was a kid, I used to love mashing on the displays of calculators and watching the trippy results

I would definitely contact your manufacturer to see what they have to say about it. I forgot to ask, which one do you have? EVGA or another? It was on the EVGA forums that I noticed the complaints of the blotches on the screen... I don't know if the problem affected other manufacturers or not.
Dont have this problem, Advent Vega version.
Can only see something when i press the screen in the middle very hard, never seen it before. does not happen when i dont try to force it!

I would definitely contact your manufacturer to see what they have to say about it. I forgot to ask, which one do you have? EVGA or another? It was on the EVGA forums that I noticed the complaints of the blotches on the screen... I don't know if the problem affected other manufacturers or not.

I do indeed have the EVGA version.

It's been a couple weeks. You'd think everything would be settled by now. It's almost as if the digitizer is cut slightly to snuggly or something. I may buy a universal hard shell case or something.
I think we all loved poking calculator's displays.

I have seen in iPhone repair kits a suction-cup thingy that they put on the screen and pull to remove it. By no means am I saying to remove your screen!!! Maybe maybe if you're desperate is to get a suction-plastic thing like found in bathroom wall hangers, and see if you can slightly pull out. If the tablet is warm then any gums or glues may shift a bit allows the screen to settle properly.

Whoa that sounds a little scary. I've just been careful. I removed some of the accessories from my soft case and I'm more cognizant of what direction the tablet faces when I put it in my pocket. I haven't had more issues. It's odds though, none of my other touch screen devices have this issue. Even my old 10in tablet and you'd think a larger screen would be more prone to flexing.
