I noticed today that my phone has a strange grey rectangular patch (centered) when the screen is off (even when the phone is powered off). Is this known/normal? It only happens in fluorescent light. I checked with a friend who has a (non edge) S7 and it didn't happen to his.
Nobody?

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.
in direct sunlight in the screen of my note 4 i can see gray dots (pattern) beneath the screen is this normal (white background only) ? but when im in a shade it will disappear.
I'd take your Note 4 back to the retailer or a Samsung Repairs Center and get to take a look at it. You may have a faulty unit.
i already did and the technician said that it is normal ? i forgot what he mentioned, something like digitizer or the sensor of the touch screen.
by the way, it will only appear in very bright sun light and white background. it is not appearing when using other kinds of light (flash light, led lights, room lights, etc)
p.s. , when i hover my hand or head in the screen it is disappearing
Hi to all of you,
Like title say i have problem with white pearl s7 edge.
There is screen light all around screen on white surface of the phone when brightness is set to maximum.Does anyone have same issue?Or is it an issue or is normal thing with white samsung?
Thanks
So I recently noticed a thick but light band running vertically through the center of my screen
Is this normal for this phone? It's only visible on dark gray backgrounds and its still so light you can hardly see it, but it is noticeably there.
I don't want to rma for a refurb and I can live with it but I don't want this to be the sort of issue that gets worse with time.
Hey guys, I bought a brand new S7 edge and the first thing I noticed is that it's not as bright as the S6 edge Plus when on full manual brightness, is that normal? Also the white is not as white as the entire screen (not just the corners) has a greenish hue not just on the corners which is normal, but the entire screen. Another issue is that auto brightness does not actually dim or brighten the screen automatically.
Please look at a comparison picture between a colleagues s7 edge on full brightness/adaptive display, and mine which is the same setting apart from my font size is set to tiny.
Change the screen mode to AMOLED cinema. Then it will be brighter.
Wow the device on the left has a huge pink tint in the whole screen, your screen is just fine (unless yours is the one with the pink tint, if yes replace it imo)
