When i received the phone today (around 3pm uk time) after an hour playing around with it i noticed 3 dark thick lines on the bottom half of the screen (on a gray background) i thought nothing of it at first and continued to use the phone.
Only just now i thought there must be a problem so i displayed a full white image and you could really notice those 3 thick dark lines. I then changed the screen brightness to max, min then back to auto and it was gone... BUT! when the screen dims a bit just before turning off i can see those 3 thick lines again just for those few seconds before the screen turns off.. it doesnt really effect me but it annoys me that they are there.. plus there might be problems with it in the future. I'm gonna go to my local Carphone Warehouse tomorrow and see if they can replace it.
I just want to know if any one else has had this screen problem.
Thanks.
Do the lines correspond to anything that is on the screen often like the keyboard or some sort of widget you have on your home screen?
These SAMOLED screens suffer from image retention and possibly burn-in. I've noticed it on my original galaxy as well as the Nexus S. As long as the lines go away after a few seconds it should be nothing to worry about. If you notice them there always then that could be a problem... usually the easiest way to see them is on a flat gray background.

oh boy, its too soon to be having any burn in. might be another issue.
my nexus one has burn in of the status bar at the top. and i can see a burn in of my entire keyboard on a white image. after more than a year of using the phone, oh well. but the status bar burn in was there within the first month.

the lines are:
1: just above where the 4 icons are at the bottom of the screen
2: where the page numbers are (dots)
3: just below the other 4 icons (widgets)
Thing is that these lines are solid and have no breaks in them.. so i dont think its the 3 points i gave above this.
I know it's too early for burn-in but some screens (might I say... all?) come from the factory with some sort of flaw. None of them are perfect and most have flaws so imperceptible that most people wouldn't notice. Every nexus S and Galaxy I've seen had some sort of area or line or multiple lines on the screen which were a bit different color, not as bright, or something along those lines. Some are worse than others, and I noticed the flaws right after taking it out of the box brand new. (I've been through about 6 Nexus S's between me and a few friends).
It's not really the same as a traditional LCD/LED screen since there's not a big backlight. Each pixel is individually lit and some may have specifications that are just on the edge of within manufacturer limits. There's almost 400,000 pixels on the screen... the chances of all of them being created identically is slim to none.
If it bothers you I say just take it back and get an exchange, showing them the problem area on the screen. Just hope your new one will be "less flawed" =)

Yeah, The last phone i had, had problems with the camera.. i went through about 5 of them and i ended up with one that was the same as the first one i had.
Can you guys have a look at yours?
Just open up a pure white image and check.. if there are no lines wait till it dims the screen and check again... thanks.
Did you put a screen protector on it???

Also ill post the results tomorrow if any one is interested.
take a screen shot of the problem? might not show but worth a try, then post it.
if it is really faulty, you should contact the seller to replace it.
I am really sorry for you, I will personal be mad if my long waited SGS2 comes with a super amoled plus faulty screen

well i dont have a good quality camera. You might of seen it before i changed the brightness settings but now that i have its kind of faint and you can only see it when the screen dims..
Gonna go to carphone warehouse now be back later
well before i went i called up all the carphone warehouses near me and none of them have stock.
I was told i only have two options:
1: go to a carphone warehouse and exchange.
2: go to a carphone warehouse and get a refund then order it online again.
So i should get a new one by tomorrow.. or atlest on friday.
no poroblems like that with mine. Screen is freaking perfect. On a side note i liked doing this test because I love staring at the screen.
Drooooool
well.. i went to a carphone warehouse.. and they had two instock. I exchanged it.. screen is fine but.. now after i got home i can see a mark/ dig inbetween the screen and the bezel (where the gap is)
again it doesnt really effect me but god.. now that i know its there.. i notice it so much that.. i might exchange it again Y_Y
This happens to me every single time i buy a new phone >.<... trust my luck!

well well well.
Went to lakeside since the one near me closed at 7pm.
Changed the phone again and this one had the lines on the screen and a dig in the silver bezel. She gave me another phone and the screen was perfect and there are no digs on the silver bezel...
In 2 days iv had my hands on 4 different S2's lol..
Last phone i had i also had 4 of them cause of XXX problems.. thought i was gonna beat it today and have 5 XD
Geebuz wept! I'm getting mine in from the UK tomorrow. I hope for hell sake it doesn't have imperfections. The ship back to the UK would be a disaster and if that one has a dig in the bezel upon return I'd blow a valve!
FINGERS CROSSED MINE IS PERFECT
as far as i know. this is the grid pattern on the super amoled screens. however. because of the poor QA/QC of the screens, some of those grid patterns are more visible than other area of the screen.
the whole super amoled is about lines on a grid pattern. if you notice more deeply, you will see that you also have those " lines " some where else on the screen yet they are not visible as the one you noticed.
i had to go through 4 galaxy S1 to get a good one where the pattern isnt "visible " through the whole screen.
its a defective unit. mainly poor Qa/QC. if you can live with it, it wont do you any harms. or get bigger. if you cant, then change it.
or and make sure you dont have a dud phone with piss poor yellow white on high brightness or pink gray on low brightness. because thats also a defect in super amoled screens.
Yes I know there have been other posts about this but this one is a little different, or at least not one that I have seen before.
I've taken a long exposure shot of my Note II in the dark with my DSLR to show the spots on the screen when it is black. I've only noticed them with my eyes when actually trying to look for them by turning all the lights off and waiting til my eyes adjust to seeing nothing so they don't bother me at all but thought it was interesting anyway.
My galaxy s2 had that ... but my notes screen is perfect ... Blahhhhhhhhhh that sucks man it's just luck of the draw

Like I say I never notice it when actually using the phone so really not bothered by it. I prefer what I have with the really dark blacks to the LCD on my last phone which was nowhere near black.
Folks, bought my SGN2 from New Delhi and I seem to have the Black Ink mark/line on the screen. Its only visible in the dark under the certain colors, eg. Grey when you use the stock Android SMS app.
Should I get the phone checked at the service centre or is this normal as I've read that this is a Samsung AOMLED manufacturing process. There were a lot of Note & Galaxy 2 phone with it. Even the Note 2 seems to be plagued.
My S2 had that problem. I haven't noticed anything like that for my Note 2 under any lighting conditions. I've been looking by forcing gray backgrounds and using stuff like screen filter to reduce dimness. Still looks good!
Mine Note 2 has a big spot on the upper right hand side of the screen

I assume its completely normal as there are a lot of people who faced this Black spot thingy, I bought my Note 2 three days ago and yesterday I noticed a big black spot on screen, but its only visible in a completely dark environment with pitch black picture on my phone.. It doesn't affect my experience with note 2 in any way, but still we want 100% perfect screen when we pay such a huge amount. Btw I bought it from local store at Chandigarh,India and the box says made in Vietnam.
PS:- As AMOLED screens are really thin, May be some glue accumulated on the back of the screen is the reason for these spots. And it is completely normal as If it were a defect it wouldn't be on almost every screen.

i also had black dots on screen and bubbles under the glass.service center replaced the display and now the black dots relocated to different locations but bubbles are gone.
i bought from kolkata. i would suggest not to take your phone to service center as they added 15-20 scratches to back cover , 4-5 dents to metal lining on side and 3-4 scratches to new display.Samsung service center in india doesn't know how to handle cellphones.They did this to multiple people.
This is an extreme case of OCD. All amoled screens have this issue. The fact that you need to try so hard to find it is why it is consisted acceptable for what you otherwise get with an amoled screen.

Yeah, Samsung India is not up to the mark in providing customer satisfaction and as you mentioned that how they handled your device, is the reason why am just dealing with this spot issue. its still better to have those spots then these scratches and dents.
Samsung should replace the handset itself if its not more then one month old, not just the display.
Had a long vertical 'Black Line" after the 'Samsung' Logo and it went from one end to the other end. It was noticeable during the startup screen of Grand Theft Auto III and on certain colors, eg: Grey. Several other black dots were around the screen as well.
Sold it off and bought another Note2. So far it's perfect
miura, this is one of the flaws with amoled, try getting it exchanged
also, you seem to have the vertical line issue too
dark spots

I had this same issue and im thinking that it might be a component that touches the screen below.
Let me ask you all a simple question, Where are your Note 2's Made? You find this information by removing the battery cover and checking on the white sticker behind your phone. Let me know, as this can suggest something.

We don't know actually what it really is, but it is considered as normal in AMOLED manufacturing criteria.
Its annoying when you see it, but it doesn't affect screen or device in any way, So, am living with it. As its only visible in dark room with pitch black or some grey shade screen.
^^^^ where is your note made in?

The first Nexus 4 I received was a rev10 I got that shipped the third week after release. It has a perfect calibration with beautiful popping whites and dark blacks. Unfortunately, I had the issue where a portion of the screen would tint yellow (about the size of my thumbprint) after it heated up.
This annoyed me so I got an RMA phone and it turned out that the entire scree was an ugly yellow even without heat. This was shipped to me from jan 1-7 I forget the actual date but it was recent. It also had a sluggish vibration issue that annoyed me. I sent it back and they sent me another RMA phone that arrived on the 14th and what do you know, it also has a yellow tint to the screen. The colors are much darker compared to my original screen as well and I tried color calibration apps but they just don't look as good as the original. This phone is a rev11 if that matters.
Do all the newly made phones have color issues? Or are there well calibrated ones out there and I should keep on RMAing?
The new screens just don't look as good and are really ugly. Someone let me know if they have a good screen
If you figured that out from an extensive poll of people then I'd understand that conclusion but from 2 RMA that's just plain stupid!
My screen is white as can be, compared to One X its looks insanely good, the One X colors pop and are really vibrant though

My screen is perfect. You should maybe change the light bulbs in your place..
I have a revision 11 and a revision 10 which is going back due to speaker crackle. The screen on my revision 11 looks cooler but I certainly wouldn't have described either as being yellow.

It goes away after a couple days...
As ctowne said, it goes away after a while. It's the glue that is used to laminate the glass and display.
Mine was pretty yellow at the start, however a couple of weeks on, and it's absolutely fine now.
Yes let us assume that the two phones we received is indicative of all phones. Makes sense.

Yeah mine went away within 3 days at the very most. Also, you can adjust the screen settings with fauxclock if you really want to tweak it. As long as you have uniform yellow on the whole screen then don't worry about it. If certain spots are yellow after a few days then you might have a problem.
To those of you whose yellow tint went away, was the yellow tint uniform over the entire screen before it went away?
I just got my rev11 RMA, and I've only got a yellow tint on the bottom half of the screen. Should I expect it to go away over the next few days?
Also, just holding it side by side with my rev10, I have to say, in addition to the yellow tint, the rev11 just seems a little bit less clear and a little bit less sharp. Could be because it has the factory Google screen protector on it, I guess, whereas my rev10 has an SGP crystal clear on it.
On the plus side, the light bleed is improved on rev11. Nowhere near perfect, but signifciantly better than my rev10.
If the yellow tint goes away, I can live with the rev11. If it does not go away, it will be another RMA.
I got a Rev11 one, but never had a yellow screen from the start. I guess i've been a lucky one..
When I did my RMA, my rev_11 had a more yellow tint to it on whites.. I could really tell on apps like SMS...
colors look OK and I've gotten used to it..
My rev 11 doesn't have a yellow tint.

All 3 of my phones have had an uneven yellow tint. I RMA'd a rev10 first which had a brighter and cooler screen than the two replacements, but and uneven tint along the bottom 1/3rd. My rev11's, the one I sent back and the one I have now have a less bright display, and the one that went back had half of the screen horizontally yellow tinted, this one has yellow tint in the bottom left corner. It's the least tinted out of all of them.
FTR the uneven tint did NOT go away on my first two phones. While overall yellowness may clear up, the uneven factor doesn't change.
All 3 have had backlight bleed, was probably the least on my rev10, the first rev11 had it pretty bad along the taskbar and left/right hand sides. The second rev11 has it on the taskbar, but a little less, and the top left hand side.
The displays are just pretty crappy LG IPS panels, I'm certain most people will be on an RMA goose chase to get a phone without any uneven tinting/backlight bleeding. They'll exist, but how long do you want to ride your luck changing? I also think LG have changed the display between rev10 and rev11, as as I said both my rev11s are duller.
I got my third replacement N4 today (REV 11) and it (like the previous 2) has the yellow tint to the bottom of the screen and left edge in particular. Looks noticeably brighter the bottom half too (slight though). I'm really disappointed with this as I don't think it's looking like there will be any (or many) from this current batch that don't have this problem.
Does anyone know from a technical point of view why LCD panels are prone to this - why is it such a consistent problem in manufacturing? What exactly is the cause and why isn't it prevented? Any links? I've Googled it but no results...
As always, every samsung device I have owned except note 2 has screen issues. Im starting to hate this amoled tech. I had 3 s4's and everyone of them has this pink shade in some part of the screen. Now this note 3 has the same issue actually its worse. I think I need to get rid of this and buy a phone with lcd screen.
Anyone noticing the same issue or am I getting realy bad luck?

get your phone exchange or refunded asap!
it sound more like a defect than a feature.
LCD also has issues.
Mine had a cream tint over 2/3 of the screen, which was not to obvious until browsing certain forums, where you'd scroll a message up and it would noticeably change color.
I took mine back to the store for exchange, and despite showing them what looked obvious to my eyes, they just couldn't apparently see it... Luckily, they where kind enough to order a new one and exchange it anyway, so will see how the new one does on Tuesday.
Some people are blind to such things, my One X had the yellow spots, so sent that in, and the replacement was much better, to they point I could easily live with it.. My two nexus 7s are fine, and every other Samsung device in their store looked good enough that I'd be happy, so I feel justified in getting an exchange...
I sold mine and bought another, lost about 50$ . Newer one has yellow hue or tint in right bottom cornor in whites and grays. I deserve this I guess, I didnt learn my lesson.

Very interesting. Out of the blue, when I turned my phone on this afternoon I started seeing top to bottom vertical banding. I've noticed that it changes depending on what colors are on the screen, especially in the top/status bar. They are mostly white/gray, but there is a little blue and red.
The phone is only 8 days old, so I'm planning on bringing it back to Sprint on Monday morning. I'm quite sure it's a hardware issue, but I haven't seen anyone else posting about it with this device. I only wanted to see if anyone else had this experience so that I could decide whether it was a design defect that would cause me to reconsider my choice of this phone.
Peace.
have you drop the phone? coz mine develop a horizontal one on the top display .. drop from about 1 feet from the ground
fortunately for me, after i reboot it, the issue gone for good

No drops. Phone was in an OtterBox Defender.
Didn't go away after multiple reboots.
Brought it in to a Sprint store and they ordered me a replacement.
Glad I hadn't rooted it yet.
i notice these lines to, its more of a grid that i see, vertical and horizontal lines, i believe its supposed to make the phone more responsive to the touch of our fingers, making it react faster than other android phones...just an assumption

I had this happen after I had my screen replaced (cracked screen). Local repair guy replaced the screen, seemed to be working fine. I took it home and got these same vertical white streaks. Took it back to him, he found some kind of lose connector or board somewhere below the screen and had to apply some adhesive. I'm picking it up today to see if the issue is truly fixed.
Mine showed after i took the phone to capture images under direct sunlight

I have this exact issue, only difference is that the screen sometimes goes black. I noticed that when it does of I press the lower part of the screen it will display the white grid briefly then go black again. I have tried holding down the circuitry near the connector at the lower part of the screen down but to no avail. Please help.
I think I've experienced the same with my phone after a DIY display replacement. I put some electrical tape between the display connectors and the radio cable. Make sure that the tape is holding all the display connectors in place.
