The attached screenshot shows two areas circled in red where the screen is having issues. Has anyone seen this kind of behavior on their N4 before? Does this mean my screen is starting to give out and will only get worse here on out?
This is exactly type of question my nanny would ask.
I should answer this like a gentleman
If you can see the defect on a screen shot then it is not a hardware issue. Factory reset should sort it.

I've been inspecting my phone very carefully, and I noticed under the screen (When turned off) there is an outline of a box near the center. I'm wondering if anyone else can see that or its just my phone

The red line shows where the box lines under the screen are. I know its probably nothing, but I've never seen such a thing before in any screens.
nope, cant see it on mine, ive had a look indoors and out to see if i could get it to show up.
mainly ive been trying to get the little loading icon to show up so i can marvel at how it looks more like some sort of illustration rather than something onscreen.
try to turn off phone and try on bright sun light.
Can see this on mine - hadn't noticed it til you mentioned it
I had to use an LED keychain light on it to see it though so hardly a problem - it looks like some of the components that sit behind the display.
Try watching that dissection video and see if anything like that shape comes up.
I have to ask-
Why the hell would anyone care, if it's so hard to see that you actually have to search for it closely under sunlight/flashlight, and only when the screen is off?
Its a secret camera ! government is watching you !

Well I can actually see mine easily when it's switched off and in under normal lighting conditions.
Due to the fact that people don't tend to stare at screens when they're off, i still don't think it really matters....
Well sorrrrrrrrrrrry. Someone tell the scientists to stop wasting their time look at stemcells because we can't see them with the naked eye.
Hey Pika, there's no need to be like that. I was merely curious about this because I've never seen such a thing before in any kind of screen (as mentioned in my first post) and I assumed it was some sort of fault with my phone.
Now I know it's fine so I'm okay with that.

it's an embedded sensor filament under the screen. I've seen it in bright sunshine when the screen is off. So no. Your not crazy.

Based on the image you have drawn: Screen burn-in of the large battery-charging indicator?
Not sure if burn-ins are visible when the screen is off though, probably not.

Sensor filament?
Anyway, all SGS phones have it so don't worry about it. It's just the way it's designed.
It's most visible in sunlight with the screen mostly black or off.
I was also worried when I first noticed it. There have been a couple of threads about it before.
suddenly from today i noticed a red blured spot on my moto x style screen, which can be seen only on dark background like black and blue. You can see the attched screenshot. is this a problem with my lcd display? my phone is waranty so should i take my phone to service centre for any hardware problem?
Weird... I noticed the same exact thing for the last few days, in the same exact spot. I googled and got to this post.
I'm hoping its a sensor of some sort that can be turned off, but I'm pessimistic.
I chatted with support and they didn't seem to know what it was. Cleared cache, did a reset... didn't fix it. They've left me with send in and get repaired or get a replacement option. Ridiculous.
Um, is this a joke post? You took a screenshot of a hardware issue, screenshots are software. Only you will be able to see that, take a actual photo if you want us to see it. lol
Yeah, I noticed that too lol. However, the dot we are seeing is in the middle bottom half of the screen. Its def hardware related.
I'm currently facing this same issue. It appears 2/3rds from the top of the screen, directly in the center.
Hmm... this is starting to really piss me off. I''m readying myself to send in my device to repair.

Here is a screenshot of the red blurry dot. Nevermind the white dot as it's the light from my webcam...

You guys stock? I wonder if a custom ROM would solve it?
Yeah, I'm stock, unrooted.
I was just told by a chat rep that they are actually aware of this issue and its been escalated to a higher team. Take that for what you will...
I see a blue spot on a black black ground..... thats really weird

I had read online about people reporting blue and red spots on dark backgrounds... but not a whole lot of why or how it was fixed. I mailed my phone to be repaired...
Does anyone else have an issue with a line of pink almost purple on the right side of the screen? I attached a picture of the issue it isn't my phone but its the same issue.
Does the line show up in screenshots if you view the screenshot on another device? My initial thought is that is a hardware issue but that would be an easy way to check.

Nope the line doesn't show on screenshots. But I'm pretty much royally screwed, because i have a small crack which I know didn't cause the issue, located on the back panel. Which I doubt Samsung will repair under warranty even though its a hardware issue.
Hello everyone,
Got a problem with my Galaxy note 3 amoled screen. Couple months ago some lines appeared on that, look like artefacts or dead pixels or something, not really sure. Didn't drop/drop in water the device before that. No idea why that happen. But, they don't go.
Tried some dead pixels apps from market with no success.
Due to certain reasons cannot give the device to repair service, so, need to try to fix that by myself.
OS version is 4.3, if that matters.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Will attach the screenshot. The line in the middle. Have few of them already. Background is green, to make it more visible.
Thanks!

Looks more like heat damage to the screen adhesive than a software/electronic defect, to me. I'm just guessing here, but could it have been left in a spot where a beam of focused light could burn the screen? Mine has a few little defects on the screen from where a water bottle on a window ledge focused the sunlight onto a point on the screen.
factory reset.
Flash stock rom and see .
Thanks for replies guys,
One more thing I probably should mention,
The line on the attached pic is maximized, the real lines are quite small, like 3-5mm length. Really small. But anyway visible...
Jaitsu,
Hmm tried to recall but don't think something like that happened. Sometimes I use my phone as GPS when riding bike, means it's outside under the sun (but not a focused light or something), max. 1 hour per time. Could that be reason?
Also, did you find any way to fix that, by yourself?
I read about several ways to fix screen issues, including leaving phone without battery for some time, or even placing it into the freezer. Tried battery method yesterday with no result, but kind of worry about the freezer...

Yes factory reset is a common advice but you really think it might help? Looks like a hardware issue to me. Can a software glitch damage the display? Also, lines are everywhere on the screen, not like one certain place.
Will give it a try if nothing else found, just, sounds uncommon...
Agree probably hardware but a factory reset rules out firmware .
Thats the first step for a service tech sheet .
Hi,
Just took some pictures of my S7 edge to sell it (as I got a S9+) and saw some weird green "line" on the right side of the screen (hard to describe - but I guess the picture shows clearly what I mean).
Is that something that I may fix on my own or would I have to replace the whole screen to repair it?
Just surprised that this green crap wasn't there when I used the device the last time.
Best regards,
Nestade
Nobody with a similar issue?
Screen is damaged, not repairable, the whole Display has to be changed. They look like burn marks?
