My screen has 2 problems:
I have about 7 dead pixels spread over the upper half of my screen. Very annoying, 2 are next to each other and thus extra visible. Worst to look at when I am viewing a dark coloured area.
It looks like the status-bar has burnt in. http://imgur.com/a/YM8xH#0
I'll try to make some decent pictures with a DSLR next weekend.
Does anybody else experience similar issues with the screen?
I'm afraid I have to relock the bootloader and flash a fresh install if SE advices me to hand it in, and I will also be without a phone for weeks.

Try using this app: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.yota.screentest&feature=search_result
Especially the grey (second) and the grayscales screen unhide a lot. But how can you make screenshots of your faulty screen? So in your case it's the software?
Some better pictures (taken wiith Sony α100)

And no difference what dead pixels app I'm using, only grey color looks bad.

I think it's definately a hardware issue in my case.
I forgot to take a picture of the dead pixels. Let's see if it can be made visible with camera (Sony A100 DSLR 10.2MP)
EDIT: impossible without a micorscope
For me looks my phone problem is software tricks....because any other colors and test don't showing me any dead pixels.

hi, in my opinion, it is not a software issue, this is in hardware, it cause the alignment of the back-light to the lcd screen. some of the lcd have a thin fiber optic film.... if this on is not aligned or not totaly intact with the lcd screen there is a possibility to have a dark color....
this only on my own opinion.... thanks!
can you try another color, like red, green, and blue?
Other colors are looks fine.

Doesn't look like dead pixels - they are nothing like that. It looks like water damage. I've had to replace several BB and Nokia LCDs due to that (all had been "damp" at one time other). One friend had used a solvent aerosol cleaner on the phone and the LCD went "stained". Replacement cured it.

But I didn't drop it in water. Could this be caused by damp air only? Also, would this be covered by the warranty? Can I 'repair' this myself by leaving my phone next to a hair dryer or in a box with silica gel?
Once this has happened, it is not reversible. Sorry.

scratch that ... its still there pink while taking the pictue ... but the actual photo can vary from still being slightly pink to slightly green dipending on light levels.
Only under certain conditions. The same conditions produce pink spots on most camera phones. I saw a celebrity tweet a picture of his new kitchen worktop the other day (dont ask), it was taken with an iPhone 4 and had a big juicy pink spot..
After the HD2 early pink spot issue, which was rather extreme and showed up all the time i learned to counteract it in photoshop, so the rare occasion it shows itself now doesn't bother me.
Does this affect video recording too? Or just taking pictures?
hi guys,
I posted this 5mins ago in another thread, but thought i'd post it here as it may be of some use to anyone coming here, especially with an aptly titled thread such as this..
''for anyone experiencing the 'pink issue'... when you notice it, try changing the white balance setting from auto to the appropriate for your current lighting conditions...
there was a thread i started on the subject, and after numerous tests between myself and others we decided it was down to the auto white ballance setting not keeping up...
for example, if your indoors, with room lights on, and you have the pink area when looking at a white wall or carpet, try switching to incandescent white balance mode... the phone seems to have issues judging the correct white balance level...
mine disappears as expected, so i feel it just requires a little more intelligence behind the auto algorithm on samsungs behalf... if its feasible...
after talking to my friend, a photographer, he explained he's seen this in dedicated digital cameras before in the past, although not so much now, but that is why when taking quality shots you always use the correct settings for the subject and lighting...
sorry for the threadjack, just don't want people feeling like their hardware is letting them down, software can/may fix the issue...''
my thread was posted in a matter of days after the first SGS2's were realeased in the UK, so it been long forgotten now.. lol
heres my old thread, i hope this will be of help to some of you...

Nicely said, nice to see someone do some research before posting something and starting mass histeria.
Here is an example of the pink spot with my old HD2, which was very bad for it initially, until a patch was released.
The first is the original, the second is a quick 30 second correction in photoshop.

As you can see, its easily corrected. If anything i went a bit too far correcting it, but it literally took 30 seconds from opening to saving.
i have green spot on auto and incandescent white balance modes.
In other modes i dont have a green spot.
Is there a known fix for it?
I have the pink spot too, on auto white balance. Maybe it will be fixed in future cam firmwares, i'm bothered more about the 2 clicks that my camera makes whenever i start it or switch to video mode. Do you cameras click twice when you initiate them and when switching to video mode ?
I clicked yes for the poll, but tbh it's so slight that I only get it when taking photos of just white stuff. I can't see that happening enough to bother me. (This is with the camera settings reset to default.)

I noticed that, but i don't know if that's normal behavior, as some users say it isn't and that their cameras don't do that One guy said samsung reps told him to get the phone back for repairs or replacement.
Out of the box, I had this issue and another camera defect: Black spot on the lense
I must be really unlucky that Samsung QC failed in detecting dust specks on the camera... It's really extremely obvious... Sent it back to the service centre for repair...
Hi,
I got my S2 a couple days back and was watching a movie in a completely darkroom and noticed that the screen wasn't truly black when the title were playing. I initially thought it was an issue with movie so I tested the screen with a pure black screen (*#0*#) and noticed that the screen glowing a tad lighter than black and I had several black patches on the screen. This is extremely annoying when using apps that have a lot of black or when watching movies. the dark patches and streak is also noticeable in the clock app in the dark grey patterned lower area. I have seen this issue mentioned in another post but there is no definitive answer as to whether this problem can be fixed or goes away after some usage. I would just like to know if I should send this in for replacement? What are my other options?
I also noticed that my 3 day old phone already had slight notification bar burn ins and even my google search widget seems to be burning in to the screen. Honestly I am extremely disappointed with these QC issues and this is my second unit as I had the first replaced for other screen issues.
I'd return it now for a NEW replacement, before the time expires. After a certain timeframe, only repair warranty most likely available, and that will probably take longer.
In some cases, it could be only 1 week.

ya I have a 30 day replacement offer so I guess I will be using that. Hope I'm lucky the third time around.
You may already know this, but;
If you send it back and your phone is rooted, custom rom etc, ensure you flash back stock firmware and get a usb jig to reset the samsung custom flash counter and remove warning triangle.

Edit/update
Im on Gingerbread 2.3.3 XWKF3 (India)
If someone could please try this simple test and let me know their results, I would be very grateful.
Test Procedure:
- Find a completely dark room (easier at night)
- goto phone keypad and dial *#0*#
- tap the button that says Black (Vibration)
- now look directly at the screen for a few seconds and let your eyes adjust
At this point do you see?
a) pure black (cannot distinguish btw bezel and screen),
b) an even mild glow, sort of like a backlight
c) a glow along with patches/blotches of pure black?
I see option (c). Could some of you pls do this test and let me know your results. This problem can also be seen, under the same dark conditions, if the clock app is opened. If you have the same problem I have, then you should see dark patches in the grey area.
I tried out before my last reply, but in dim (not dark) conditions, seemed ok.
Now tried as you suggested, and let my eyes adjust for a few second, I can see what your saying.
Maybe this its part of the super amloed + screen?
So in short , I'll take answer C

Maybe more users realise they have through same (or to a degree) , but i suppose if there is no noticeable difference during day to day use (including movies etc), i wouldn't even bother.
In your case, i'd still go with the return for new. No guarantee though...

Photo
Well here's a photo to better demonstrate my issue. It is a little exaggerated by the camera but still pretty accurate. One can also see that the glow has a reddish tint. It was taken with a DSLR in hi res. You can see just how bad it is. Yes this is not that noticeable if the room isn't really dark but it's pretty damn bad in my room with all the lights out. And thats how I usually read at night. I wouldn't even mind an even glow but the splotches are unacceptable.
Ok your screen is clearly a QC fail. Go and exchange it ASAP. The screen does have a faint glow because it needs to be powered, but it should be a VERY faint and even glow perceptible only in pitch black conditions.

They're artifacts of the screen so you will never see them on a screenshot.

If you look carefully inside the Galaxy S2 headphone jack you may spot part of the motherboard. I don't know if this is normal or a manufacturing defect. I've compared a couple of other S2's, but it is too hard to tell due to the accumulation of dust particles. Please shed some light on this for me. Thank you.

Hold the phone with the screen away from you (facing forward); I see part of the motherboard towards upper 1/3 of inside the microphone jack, small portion of the board is visible. My motherboard is of blue color btw, the green is darker and may be harder to distinguish.

Not necessarily, I saw a blue (made in china) in the may batch and made in korea (green) in that same time. Off-topic, Let me assure you, the china batch has fewer problems than korea and china has latest camera firmware (SCEF09) whereas very few korea stocks are available that has the older firmware (OMEF01).
On-topic, can you see part of your motherboard in the headphone jack?
is seeing the motherboard within the headphone jack a normal thing?
my usb cable is made in Indonesia, I have a chinese one as well, oddly, there are some quality control issues.
the chinese build is more resilient than koreas
the display is worse on korea (all based on my experience in the past few replacements I came across)

i'm really keen to know whats up with the production line of some samoled displays
Here is a view of the inside of my phone.
The microphone jack is the blueish rectangle sligthly up to the left of the camera lens.
So the blue parts ppl see is probably the the jack itself as it seems to be sealed from the rest of the mainboard, probably to protect the inside from dirt and such.
Your motherboard is blue.
If it was true green, it would be darker (like Forest Green color as per my observations with my first replacement).
I do see the difference though from top to bottom, and the internals are pretty interesting. Correct me if I'm wrong, is the camera lens exposed? I thought the glass cover remains there during disassembly.
Mine is blue. I attached a pic of it.

I have looked more closely to my parts phone that is taken apart.
The thing you see in the picture in post #15 is actually a flat cable that connects to a microphone? that is just beside the jack, there is a small hole in the casing next to the jack.
And that flat cable is lead behind the 3,5mm jack and then to the speaker.

Tried searching for this defect in this forum but couldn't find similar posts. Basically my ENTIRE screen is full of small dots which have a diagonal pattern. It looks like the picture below but the dots are smaller and they are "rainbow colored". The color is similar to having a droplet of water on the screen.
Does anyone have the same problem? I know the tint problem is pretty common (since my first unit had major problems with colors) and quite a number of people commented on having the bubble problem (which this second unit also has) but what about this "dots" defect?

Seriously, Samsung's quality control just had to ruin things. I was so excited to be getting my very first Samsung and Android phone but having to put up with this after having to put up with the customer service in my country just ruins everything. Now I have to go straight to Samsung since carriers in my country only allow 1 replacement.
Do you only see it in direct sun light while tilting the phone in 45 deg angle? Well if yes then it's the digitizer and this is completely normal.

Nope, I see it looking straight at the screen. The brighter and whiter the screen the more visible it is. It's almost like it's reflecting light (just like how having a droplet of water on your screen).

Nah, did it through Photoshop. Tried getting it using my iPad's cam but couldn't capture it in the photo. The dots are way smaller than those in the pictures and there are more spaces diagonally but it spans the whole screen. Also, there are criss-cross patterns but only on the curved edges.
Maybe the glue of the lcd or the gorilla glass? Something liquid-like since it reflects light (brighter = more prominent). My first unit didn't have the same problem

It's a defect. It's the pattern of the Gorilla Glass but it shouldn't be visible when the screen is turned on. My first unit didn't have it but had other defects.

Hey ng4g3d,
so were you able to get it replaced for that reason? if you did, did they replace the whole front glass?
thanks

Haven't had it replaced yet. I'm waiting for the newer batches to come out so I'll have it replaced come July. I'm pretty sure it'll be replaced though since my phone has tons of bubbles in addition to the Gorilla Glass pattern being visible and slight pink / green tints scattered around (which I believe got burnt in since the tints weren't noticeable during the first week).
Even tho it sounds like a defect, it still is a pretty pattern? always looks on the bright side!
I have the same problem with my verizon s6 edge I had three replacement but they all have the same problem on the screen with small dots colored pattern lines, I only start to notice
When I crank my brightness to the high and also when the screen is off most people won't find this issue in less they start to look closely to the screen , i think most s6 are affected but most people won't notice looking from 1 to 2 feet away , I try to show some friends only few noticed the issue, but if you pixl head like me it's really noticeable on high brightness
Sorry I know this is an old post, but I have the same problem on my S6 Edge. Are there any soloutions? Should I send my phone to get repaired, or ask for a replacement?
Hello all,
Last night I watched a show on my tablet in total darkness and noticed some weird banding which I thought was caused by the video itself but then I checked with the other apps and it was clear that it wasn't the video but the screen itself. Is my tab screen faulty? It's just over 3 weeks old for God's sake! Is anyone else experiencing the same issue or am I the only one?

This is what it looked like while watching
those look like window reflections. Make a drawing, fill the entire screen with solid black, do you still see the banding? Do you have blue light filter on? If you still see it and you don't have any filters and you're sure it's not reflections, return it.
At low Brightness with night mode on mine is a bit patchy but yours seems worse. If it bothers you I would exchange and see if you get better luck next time
mine is solid black no pathing
That looks faulty

Hi guys. Thanks for your comments. I tried disabling the blue light filter. Also, it was pitch black in the room with no reflection anywhere.
Spoke with Samsung and it's going to be replaced.

Lowest brightness with blue light filter on ?
Can't help you as far as the screen is concerned, but nice choice about watching Succession, season 2 has been great.

Lowest brightness yes. Blue light no. I never use that. I surely would never use with video
I watch on mine in dark, complete black the screen is, no bleed etc.
Return it.
Hmmm I'm noticing similar to mine now even without blue light filter and normal brightness
Hey guys. Just an update. It's a bit of a long story but the tl;dr version is that I have got a new Tab S6 today and guess what? The same screen-bleed issue but on a different part of the screen.

I phoned the Samsung shop team and they were extremely helpful and arranged a replacement. However, I am very disappointed with the quality control. Does anyone know how I can raise this with Samsung so that something would be done at a higher level i.e. maybe there is a faulty batch or something?
Is that right from a factory reset without installing or restoring any apps? I have to wonder at this point if it's some software, These are amoled screens, there shouldn't be any bleed, there's no backlight. While some pixels can definitely fail what you're seeing on 2 tablets seems highly unlikely not random across the screen. Only other thing I can think of is you have something putting undue pressure on parts of the screen.

No. The pictures above are of the replacement tablet. I hadn't had the chance to transfer my settings or anything so it's factory formatted. All I did was turn on night mode at night and start the dialer app as well as other Samsung apps. Even the keyboard is brighter on one side than the other. I asked the other half to look and point out anything odd and she spotted it straightaway.
The tablet was literally out of the box. Barely stayed out of the box for an hour and there was nothing else pressed against it at all.

It's not bleed it's just uneven tints on the screen, very common and annoying as heck.
wow I've never seen anything like that on an oled or amoled screen. I have the S2,S3, S4, note 8, note 10+ and LG Oled and never seen anything even close.
What you have with the white, doesn't surprise me as much as the black as with black the pixels should be OFF.
The mate 20 pro was plagued with green screens like that. I believe they were lg oleds

By the way it's not pure black backgrounds, more dark greys, mine is similar and I believe they will all have it to some degree, seems to be a short coming with oled..it's only noticeable when displaying certain types of greys, at very low brightness, even worse with blue light filter on
Somewhat similar to what I'm experiencing, uneven black levels from corner to corner.
I'll try and get a replacement from the retailer, they give 30 days to return items so it shouldn't be an issue hopefully.
It's not awful, but once you notice it, you always notice it.
I have also the same, verry annoying. And for that price i espect something that works.
