i took screenshot of the dark image where the white spots are visible ...please see the attachment
If you're talking about a few dots in the screen and can see that dot in different black/dark images in the same spot, you have dead pixels.
In this case, taking a screenshot with the phone will not show your problem. You'll have to take a picture of the screen with a camera.

Okay, I get what you're saying now.
I opened the file with the XDA app on my phone and can see the "cloud".
It's most likely the image itself.
Do you see the cloud in this picture?

Is that a screen shot? looks like it to..if your trying to show the dead pixel it won't show on a screen shot.. You have to take a picture with another phone /camera on the actual device ...correct me if I'm wrong..had dead pixels on devics..now my second note has one time to return it..

If you can take a screenshot, then its in the display software or the actual picture. If it was the hardware, then you would need to take an actual picture of the phone's screen.
I was gonna suggest it's pressure points, but you would not see that on a "screen shot".
You can see a "cloud" because the NOTE has an issue with displaying colors, refer to; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1559800

I don't know why but all of a sudden my screen resolution has gone down.
Everything have a lesser quality to it.
I've read in a topic that you need to Reflash or so a Hard reset... I've change a ROM and it look the same.
Did you installed a screen protector? lol i know this sounds dumb but anyways needed to be asked
I've ZAGG InvisibleShield, but I've placed him before this problem has happened.
The most notable thing I've notice about the screen quality dropping was me being able to see those Transverse lines across me screen when ever I look in black things and in some other colors and parts of my phone.
someone told me something about being able to up grading the screen to 24bit
By any chance can you take an actual photo AND a screen shot of the display ?

That's not resolution, that's colour depth where you end up with banding. Have you installed a new rom, or an update for a rom lately?
Read this and you'll have some more knowledge on the situation:

Sorry for the double post but can someone tell my how can I chane my screen from 16 to 24 bits.
Nothing help with this problem and this is the only think I didn't try doing.
Maybe you can't see a different from an ordinary SGS2 screen, but when I look at the alarm clock notes and a lot of other screen I can clearly see vertical lines when going from one color tune to a more darker one.
Hahahahaha. Dude, everyone with an SGS2 hates the fact that everything is 16 bit. The whole firmware needs to have rewritten drivers for us to get more than 16 bits! It's impossible as of yet.
Has anyone who tried out this phone tested it for the screen lines/blobs issue that the S2 had?
I would also like to know this too the yellow tint issue, and black blobs. I had the issue in both my SGS 2 black and White...though in galaxy nexus it was vey negligible but still there . I hope its not in SGS 3
There seems to be a pink tint rather than yellow tint.

Should probably wait a bit before buying this phone, who knows what the probability is.
Bump. People should know about this before buying the phone.
Most of the screen won't have tint problems . But still people can check the screen using lcd test code before taking it to home

Yup! I received my SGS3 yesterday, and after seeing this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1658601 I checked the Iron man Pepper Kiss video on Youtube and I did not notice any problems!
The pixelization is sometimes caused by poor encoding.
I received the phone yesterday.
Did the LCD tests.
All tests are crystal clear. RGB backgrounds look like glass and the black videos are deep blacks without pixalation of any form.
I also checked another thread talking about some kind of pixels that were appearing as different colour and this didn't occur either.
The screen works perfectly and it does look gorgeous despite that pentile screen debate.
If a phone doesn't perform as described by me (and many many others) then the phone is simply defective and will be covered by DOA.
Bumb:cyclops: sorry
Hi, Im new here. Im from Malaysia.
I bought S3 last 3 week ago.
The 2nd day i found my S3 screen got problem(only when at night or dark place).
The 3rd day i go change the new one. And it got the same problem.
My question is, Should i change again new phone or let it go?
Is anyone here got this problem too? When watching Movies or Black color picture at Night/Dark place, u can saw the black splash dot. Annoying.
ps, sorry for my bad english. hope you guys understand what i asking. : )
It happens on my device too. It's an issue with amoled screens. Quite common for all amoled devices.
Doesn't affect screen quality that much and 90% of the time you can't even notice it so don't worry too much
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
it is a known problem with amoled on lowest screen brightness with black background
This problem is not a fault. unfortunately Every phone has this problem.
I did not notice this in S2. But the HD amoled has this issue.
I was thinking, maybe something was wrong with the screen protector,
Moreover the spots are visible usually during low lit/night time
I changed my s3 three times and all of them have the problem... so nothing to worry about

Maybe the amoled company doesn't have Qualified QA + QC Worker. http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/smile.gif
If for other company, sure this product will be asking RETURN ALL for RMA. http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif
Btw, My Samsung Galaxy S2 don't have this kind of problem.
Hope Samsung know about this problem and upgrade to the next new smartphone.

Recently I've noticed that my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 has had burn in issues where the status bar usually is. Whenever I'm in clockwork mod recovery I notice it, or sometimes when I do other fullscreen tasks. Is there a fix? Or do I need to replace my phone?

There is no real fix. Maybe a temporary fix but once you start to see burn in it is unfortunately a down hill trek from there.
40+ years of display technology and it seems like they always start over. simple laziness. burn-in helps nudge you to a new device in two years. heaven forbid something was built to last.

I found out with my first S3 how bad these screens burn in, that had the worst burn in I have ever seen.
On my 2nd & 3rd S3's & with my Note 2 I turned the screen brightness down & set the screen timeout to 30 seconds & that cured the problem.

Replacing the phone is the only fix & then turn down the screen and shorten the timeout.
If you don't do that, the new one will have the exact same problem.

Although you probably won't see it in cell phones, LCD panels can burn in. Main ones that usually do are computer monitors. Plasma displays can burn in. OLED displays burn in.
Really there isn't any display types used today that doesn't burn in but monochrome displays.

That's why everyone adopted screen savers decades ago. They've been thrown away to to serve our insatiable need for instant gratification. Heaven forbid you had to do something before you could see your unread email, new text or missed call counts.

I noticed my burn in about a week ago, of course the notification bar is burnt in and is the worst but I also have burn in from the BaconReader app, the two bacon strips symbol is burnt in really bad along with the arrows at the bottom that let you toggle between full screen and regular.
It pisses me off because the burn in continues to get worse the more I use BaconReader, which I've pretty much quit using it because of this.
I can't really blame anyone though because I enjoy my phone at full brightness, which I knew would make the burn in worse, and it really doesn't interfere with anything as of yet.

Hello all!
Are you guys seeing vertical lines on your screens? specially when it gets dark (ex: notifications comes down) (it's like pcb lines)
I bought my phone this week and i don't know if this is normal or not...
I can't post any pictures because de screen as a reflection and it doesn't show the lines...
It isnt normal
It seems like your unit is defective
Hardware Display issues are usualy easily seen on a dark background and you have mentoned you see it when its dark

You seem to have a Nexus 4. If you look hard enough, you can see the same lines on that phone too. It's just the screen technology those phones use, it's completely normal.
I understand that but with the Z2 i dont even have to make a effort to see it...
Does it happen to you?

I have a defective unit and no i dont see any lines hence why i said a replacement is needed
The display should be stronger than the avarage human eyes which is 430ppi
Z2 Screen is 442ppi, any lines if existant shouldent be easily seen at all and if any are then there is a problem
I havent seen any at on my phone so id recomend sending yours back for a replacement if posible

I had a nexus 4 and own the Z2 as well. It is perfectly normal. It is the digitiser which is built into the glass screen that you see. If I'm not mistaken, it appears under certain lighting conditions and you can see it at times and cannot at others? It is perfectly normal so don't worry! My N4/Z2 digitiser lines are not extremely visible unless held in certain ways for light to reflect off but my brother's N4 has extremely visible lines for the digitiser! Hope this helps! :highfive:
I've just been to two stores to compare my phone with other Z2's and yes the lines are more pronounced than the others... The funny thing is that my blacks are darker and my whites are whiter... It looks that the screens are different...

It's not like that. The LCD it self is good and i don't even have dead pixels.
What i see is this:
"Polarizer lines"
I think i'm going to return it. With low light it's ok but during the day i can see it very well.
This is the second Z2 that i return. The first one had a tinted red display.
I bought it on a Uk online store that i'm beginning to suspect that is selling second quality items...
Yeah you might have a more visible polarizer on your unit which magus alot of sense
