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.

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.
So I have this weird issue. The very bottom of my screen does not respond well! At first I thought it was a bug with the navigation bar, tried several roms and tried PIE controls until I figured that there is something wrong. I have the navbar now set at 48 dpi and I have to press at middle of it to work, where the very bottom is dead. I activated 360 rotation so that my statusbar now is at the bottom of the screen instead of navbar and it does not respond at all! Anyone can explain ?

I have Tried like lots of different roms with clean fresh installation and the problem is still there ! I think its a hardware problem. For ezample right now if I set my navbar to 32 dpi it wont respond at all because the bottom of my screen have lost the touch sensitivity. I have droppes my phone several times, could that be it ? I cant really remember when I exactly started noticing the issue...but just few days ago...I have tried PIE and same **** :s I have to set the trigger area to max for it to respond...and yes im talking about experiments after a clean install before installing ANY third party app

okays... Now I think it surely a hardware problem,as you said you havr also dropped your phone several times.. All the best goto the service centre for the repair.. dont tell them that you have dropped your phone else they will charge you badly even if you are under warranty.. You are welcome..

Think Im gonna give no damn about it and of course buy the nexus 5, which I would have done either way..but im surprised how can a touchscreen lose a part of its sensitivity somewhere on the screen ?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
If you look closely at your screen at an angle with the screen off you will be able to see the digitizer matrix that is fused to the screen.
It is a series of squares.
Each of them squares has 3 horizontal lines and one vertical.
Behind the bezel there will be the circuitry that connects every horizontal and vertical line
If say for instance after one of your phone drops it has damaged one of the connectors at the side, you will lose the entire row of touch detection. Which is probably what has happened

Alex is right i had this happen to my moto defy. I'd say get it done under warrnty no matter if youre keeping or selling. Improve your resale value and protect you from having the entire digitizer die on you
Anybody an idea whether this is a display damage? Black appears not normal.

Black crush
Well,this is called 'black crush' or 'black clipping'. It is still there a little bit,but nothing serious. The first Note was horrible... Don't worry,nothing is wrong with the phone,it is a software issue,and (I think) it will be fixed soon.
Im very confused as it really distorts the display of the black.
In the settings the search field has a deep Black. Rest is more or less grey.
In the toggle menu the bottom bar has weird stripes.
It's not just a small issue. ...

You posted screen shots. No one can tell anything from those you need to take a picture of the problem using a camera. The phone's been out for over a month now. If what's happening to you were wide spread I assure you it would have been brought up (numerous times) by now. If whatever you're seeing was like that out of the box (before you loaded any apps) it's probably a h/w problem with your specific device.
I have the same issue too on my Note 3!
I'm from Singapore here.
I didn't notice that the pictures appear perfectly normal on other displays.
I did some shots with a camera.

That isn't normal - I'd you are running a custom ROM I'd take back to stock to see if the issue persists, and send it back if it does.

Mine too. Isn't that supposed to be the way the display looks? Just kidding.
A display that looks like this isn't normal and if there were a lot of them people would be going nuts.
It's either something s/w related that's fried the graphics drivers or a h/w problem unique to specific phones. If it remains after a hard reset than it's h/w and the phone needs to be exchanged.
Tried the hardware reset but didn't change anything. Bad luck this time.....

That is really something wrong.
It suppose no strip at telco area.
Beside search bar, the rest bottom part is suppose black also not grey.
I believe your screen is defective.
I've factory-rested and it's the same.
Re-installing exactly the same J1 firmware (in Singapore it's the latest) via Odin also yeilds same result.
Another friend of mine is facing the same issue.
However, the ambience at the Samsung stores are so bright, and it's hard for the customer service officers to see
Well I'll see what Samsung After service Germany will say... the point is that the screen looks ok if you test the blue, green, red and black screen test under *#0*#. But during normal use I'm faced with the problems as shown above
I'll keep you updated.

It is a hardware problem about horizontal lines on display. I don't thing that will happen again as you get a new replacement.

After getting it replaced now there are some vertical lines also as well as some horizontal lines.. so the previous one was better.. and after searching over net I found it as normal.. almost everyone has this in their device.. to get these lines visible u have to select a grey background and u have to check the display at dark room and with low brightness (25% or less).. I guess all have this issue more or less.. by the way I have asked for replacement once more.. lets see what I will get next.. but it is pretty sure that samsung should not invest on amoled technology if they cant produce error free display..

Dude it's totally normal and unfortunately something you have to live with. You will NOT find an S4 with a perfect display.

Hey guys, so I did not exchange it yet, but I discovered interesring fact, so when it's cold, there are no bubbles on screen, but when it's warm, its much more visible... And I think the mistake is on digitizer because i can clean it, so it is not under display
