I just noticed today that there is a bright line at the bottom of my screen. Tried changing wallpaper rebooting made no difference. Not sure if its a burned line on the screen now. I have attached a screen shot, any suggestion or test method I can check would be greatly appreciated.

Lol can't see it which means its probably something wrong with your display

If it's the display itself that's having a problem, you need to take a pic of it using a camera. A screen shot is just a capture of what's being projected on the screen, not the screen itself.
I had the same problem after a screen replacement on my phone which I originally broke the screen on. I would suggested taking it back to the store for a replacement handset.

Don't think so, I feel your pain mate. Its a line of dead pixels on mine it was really bright then after a few days then typically after about 2 days it changed to a really really faint line which was barely visible.

that's exactly what I have right now. A really bright thin line. this is a canadian bell sg 2 and I have rooted and unlocked with chainfire cf-root using zs kg2 kernel. So I got a yellow triangle that I need to get rid off. Any suggestions? I'm worry about the counter where they may be able to tell that the phone is has been tempered. :-(

Restore to stock firmware and reset the custom rom download counter using a USB jig.
I have purchased the samsung s3 in pebble blue and it has gaps around the screen in random places. Is this normal as chitter chatter are saying samsung phones come like this. Although my partners white s3 has no gap issues at all!!!!!

i have a white one with no issue. but i got something people can try. turn the lights out, and view a black screen/page of something and sorta manipulate the light from the buttons in the palm of your hand so as to use it as a flashlight (because a flashlight and blacklight wont work), i found some weird looking defect or hieroglyph in the middle left side. but it doesnt affect anything only i will ever know its there. kinda weird.. looks like a crudely drawn number 4 wrote with a stylus permanently embedded in the polarizing film
Is it that whitish color because dirt go in there? Or did it actually look like that when you got it?
I feel like I have a slight on the bottom of mine now...
I got gaps everywhere :/ Might see if VZW will exchange it then.

Mine, Pebble Blue, no gap :good:
Blue, small gap at the bottom. Doesn't bother me that much.
I posted last night that there is this really small white dot on my screen. It only visible on light colors like white . But its not visible if the color is really dark. Like on you tube where the search option is it not visible but when i go to Facebook i can see right next to my notification but its small. Anyways is there a way for it to go away? This phone is only like a day old :/ & it was bigger last night but it got smaller because i played a video that repeated blue red and green fast because i heard it make stuck pixel go back to normal.
Also is it a dead pixel or stuck?
Return the phone if you can't live with it.

I was hoping to fix it :/ i guess ill fill out the rma stuff.

BDW, OP can u please post the picture of your white case on N4? Or u can PM me the link if u upload elsewhere.
I'd RMA it, pretty sure they'll replace it free of charge. Although it's just a pixel, stuck and/or dead pixels annoy the crap out of me because once you notice them, you can't stop looking at them every damn time!

Depends on Google/LG's interpretation - Samsung don't except anything under 5 pixels as faulty

I just saw a white pixel on the middle of the screen but I can only appreciate it at dark, when screen is black and brightness set to maximum (which I never have on dark environment). Was that an issue for you? I really have to look for it for a while in any other case. Pixels are sooo small. Don't even bother to rma. No other issue with the phone.
I'm thinking it's just a pixel stuck in a grey colour because it so difficult to see.

exactly the same problem, around the same place !
tonight or tomorrox I'm gonna command a new one, I already called google.

I have the same issue but luckily it's right at the top under the notification bar so only see it very occasionally when I turn to landscape in Gmail or something.
Well, the worst thing happened, I dropped my i9500. I would rather die. Now there's a red line on my screen on the left side of screen. It dropped on its base (the battery side) yet, it affected the screen. It's static, stays, changes color according to the app I'm using. Like right now it's red on the keyboard, but kinda green on the chrome app. I'm sorry I don't know how to view screen shots, but I've attached two .png file.
My question, can I make this right, or do I have to take it to the Samsung people?
Oh man! I just viewed the screenshot from my computer, and I don't see any line. So, basically it's somewhere below the screen, where the software doesn't capture it in screenshots.
Send it in to Samsung
Just give it to the Samsung people if you still have warranty

Unfortunately i think you cracked your display. Fortunately it still works. Screenshot doesn't capture it because it's physical. Not a software issue. I payed almost 200 euros to change my display. It's not covered by warranty

Dude, the screen is not broken. Something's physically disturbed from the inside. And anyways, here at my place, people are stupid, so they'll just change my screen for free, 'cause they think I got warranty.

If you haven't rooted it, then send it in for warranty repair. If you have rooted it, you'll need to either live with it or replace the screen
It's a known issue. They show up in either red, blue, yellow, or white. Either send it in for warranty or replace the screen.
rooted since day #1

IIrc hardware defects are still covered under the warranty even with bootloader unlock. But I also have one of these dots. Towards the bottom, it's blue. Had it since opening the phone. Was going to send it in for reapir, but I couldn't figure out how to return the phone to stock.
