I just got this phone today and within 10 mins of using it there was a pinkish line across the top middle section of the display that flashes occasionally. Is there any way to fix this. It disappears any time I try to take a screenshot.
Get it replaced. thats not normal and its a defect.

Search did not reveal any post with this particular screen defect.
The phone is a collegue's of mine so I can't troubleshoot it directly or tell you baseband etc. It's brand new, 4.2.2, and a 4G so probably i9505 (bought in europe, sweden). It has not been droppped, collegue would have said if this was the case . What collegue told me was it was like this when collegue got it.
Sometimes screen becomes blue, but only parts of it. You can see this clearly on the attached photos. It's most promient on white areas, which are not white at all, but, well, blue!
Especially note the partial blueness of Whatsapp icon borders.
Screen lock is being used, blue tint appears on lockscreen as well.
Could not isolate when this occurs. I did not experiment much with the giroscope, don't think that's it. I also seem to recall viewing angle not making a difference. I did have it in my possesion for 30 min, during which the blue tint did not occur. Auto brightess was already off, took brightness down 2 or 3 notches. This is what I changed in settings -> display:
Screen mode: standard
Auto adjust screen tone: off
options that should not be relevant
Screen timeout -> 5 min
Wifi -> off
After this I gave it back to collegue, about 10 minutes went by, collegue took phone out of pocket and activated screen. Now the blue tint was back. At this time I took the attached photos a well as did as screenshot capture, which is not attached, but the blue tint was present there as well. It looked exactly the same as the actual OS/what I had seen with my eyes.
Device was a this time lieing on a flat surface.
I told my collegue to turn in the device for another one, but collegue would rather try/hear about/research a DIY- solution first.
Is this a common defect? Is it sw or hw? Can it be fixed? Etc...

edit: it seems to occur when the phone's screen has been turned off for a couple of minutes. Yesterday I unlocked device after being dormant for some hours, blue tint was there. Screen timed out by itself and when I unlocked blue tint was not present. Waited 4 min then unlocked, and sure enough blue was back. Turning on-off screen solved it once again. Also tried repeatedly locking-unlocking without blue tint reappaering.
I had something strange happen on my retail vzw note 3 a few days ago. I opened the camera app and started to snap a picture and the bottom half of my screen turned green "from the middle of my phone down even the hard keys", this lasted for about 5 mins it was a light green i could still see what was in the background. It has only happened once.

Has anyone experienced anything like this?

hey guys
today I noticed a thin vertical line that shows up on low brightness and on specific red color
it goes from the top of the screen to the bottom on the left side of the screen only if I display Gmail's red on it (( other types of red are fine )) .. I noticed this while I was checking my mail today there was a thin black line on the notification bar and the top side of the app (( the red part )) ,but when I increase the brightness to the half the problem goes away
I know my screen maybe defective but can I solve this by myself ? because the warranties here are very bad and they'll probably ignore the problem and return my phone after 14 days without fixing anything
So yeah I dropped my phone on its side, while the screen didn't crack at all and nothing happened at the time of the drop, after I woke up the next day my phone had this yellowish small circle on the left then this circle started growing to cover most of the screen and then it started to go brown then black and now the whole screen is black, the touch and the led lights are working, I know I should take it to a specialist or something but for the time being is there anything I can do or check to make it work again by myself ? thanks.
Nothing you can do .

Those are normal things that happen on an OLED pannel , unfortunately.
For the first one , the solution is to increase brightness.
For the second one , you can't do anything about it , it only is visible on white screen because the display has more blue pixels than red and green.
Seriously this vertical, spinning lines are normal for this phone?

Oh , no. Sorry. Also that it's strange. I was in a hurry and didn't saw it good
Most probably it's a hardware issue , you need to replace the display through warranty..
No such problems on my Note 2. The blue lines are visible, but they are very, very faint. No twisty rainbows at all.
Have you got a screen protector or something on? Might be just a fault panel.
