I have a 12w09 AAAC without any issues on the screen.
Would you please report back if your AAAC 12w11 has any problems?
Thanks!
AAAB 12w11 without any problem (using since 7 Days)
I don't even know how a phone with this problem looks...
Mine is just perfect and I have nothing to complain about the phone.
From the battery to the screen everything is perfect.
I loved my old Desired HD but I do not miss him.
12W10 with yellow spots and light leak! It gets worse over time I think...
I have 12w10 with perfect screen
Just to mention, you have to make your phone get HOT in most cases (35 celsius and more) to see the spots and light leaks! Then just pull down the notification bar and see the lower part, if there is yellow tint you will notice it!

This morning when I woke up
I realized there are some horizontal grey lines on my phone screen
Then I was outside jogging
I noticed the lines are gone
When I back to my room
I put my phone right under the air conditioner
After 15 minutes
When I pick up my phone
Those lines are there again..!
I bring my phone to my living room
My living room is without air conditioner
After 15 minutes I watched the lines are disappearing
I was so curious
Then I again... Put my phone under the air conditioner in my room
Those lines are back!
After this experiment
I assumed the temperature cause these grey lines on the screen
Is anyone also have the same experience?
Facts:
* even without *#0*# the lines are quite visible
*I lived in jakarta, indonesia my AC is set at 25C
*Outside my room without A I reckon about 32-35C
*stock kj2 with speedmod kernel
I'll wait if those lines keep coming back
Then have to visit samsung service center and the them about this.
Pics would be helpful ... because the early batches of SGS2 had the Yellow spots/Line issues!
i had that issue too. when i flashed MIUI rom and i could see horizontal grey lines on the white notification bar... so i did some research and its the hardware issue.. sometimes flashing a new rom goes a way but comes back randomly..
It is hardware issue
Just bring it to service center
They replace the whole screen for you

Apparently not.
Don't worry, I had the same problem. It happens when it's pretty cold outside. However the problem just dissapeared..
I had the same issue on my 26" led monitor, Galaxy S, Galaxy S II which bought in May and newer Galaxy S II which bought in November too. My room is 22C and outside is -8C.
Is this be a screen virus Its more noticeable on purple and grey colors. Android 4 uses grey colors and my CM9 looks bad.

yeah that can hapen due to a hardware error. take it to samsung because you cant change anything
Hello all,
This evening I was playing on my SXS until the yellow tint started to annoy me. I started pressing the screen on the visible areas and noticed that they are fading away. I kept pressing the screen and now the yellow tint is gone in all areas. I even asked other other people and they said the tint is gone. Now let's wait and see if it will return.
P.S. Don't press too hard or you'll break your screen
Sent from my LT26i using XDA Premium
When I tried this originally it soon came back. Pressing the screen will not solve issue!
This solution has been already posted by someone here.
It goes away & then it comes back...
Thanks for the replys. I didn't see the solution here. I'll keep repeating the procedure a couple of times and see what happens.

Just a question (off topic), I remember a guy named XeqtR from the team -GFE- who plays Crysis (a long time ago). Wonder if that's you.
Regarding the other post, I guess it was deleted by an Admin
pressing didn't help. my tint eventually became permanent and pressing didn't take it away anymore.
Try and figure out a better solution.
I'm not that XeqtR . Until now there is no tint. I'll keep updating the thread. I know it's a long shot but there is nothing else I could do...
Sent from my LT26i using XDA Premium
The tint came back... The screen hasn't been on more than 2 hours since and it is the same. I'll try to get it replaced...

it will disappear when battery temp goes down below 35 deg c
i have one stuck blue pixel in lower half of the screen,
do you think i should return it?
or can i for only one?
does anyone else have any stuck pixels?
i can live with it but its annoying knowing its there!
If you can, then I don't see what's stopping you.
I returned an N73 with a dead pixel and i'd do it again without hesitation.
To be exact, LED-screens (including OLED) don't have stuck (sub)pixels since there are no moving parts.
Only LCD's can have stuck pixels.

Serious question then:
Yesterday I had what appeared to be a dead or stuck pixel. It was extremely annoying and after running a dead pixel test, I rebooted it and it was gone a few minutes later. What was it?
surely if it was dead it wouldnt be blue?

I don't know, the guy above me just said pixels can't get stuck on OLED, so now I"m confused.
Return it for an exchange...
It would kill me to have something so small ruin a great screen.

i bought mine from Argos, i hate the pink tint on the front camera and the ink marks were in some bad areas on the phone, im getting my 4th S3 tomorrow. I hope i dont get ink marks (big long thick ones) in the middle of the screen. YES I SAID 4th Galaxy S3 replacement. best thing about Argos is, they send someone to pick it up from your house and the guy gives you the new replacement.

"Dead Pixel Detect and Fix". I let it run for a few minutes then when it looked a little smaller I rebooted and it was gone.
tried that for over 30 mins, ive got one stuck pixel so it cant get smaller its either there or its not
No idea then sorry, mine looked to be two or three consecutive. The app lowered that down to about one and then I rebooted and it was gone.
Defenitly exchange it!
My phone seems to have an issue where in cold weather or an air con room strange grey and white lines flicker across the bottom centimeter or so of the screen, distorting the image. Even in just mildly chilly weather (around 26 degrees celsius) I get this issue. However if I heat the phone up by playing a graphic intensive game or the like, they go away. Anybody else have this problem?
This is known as the "ice ice baby" effect. Were u listening to Vanilla Ice when this happened?

Nah, I'm pretty chill, and it was amusing, plus I'm happy for the bump.
Anyway, new question - can somebody recommend some overvolting/overclocking settings that I can use to make my phone hot? Because as it is now even at room temp I get those lines, I'm not too sure anymore that heating things up will get rid of them, but it's worth a shot.

I suggest a warranty replacement. Who wants their phone to have to stay constantly heated. Not sure how much to over volt to for the i777 but I use no frills app for clock work on my tab

Sadly that's not an option as I bought it used (but mint) and unlocked (where I live phones don't come with contracts, so you shell out about 700$ for a new high end phone). It worked fine for the first month, then things went weird a week ago...no idea what the problem could be. I ordered a new battery and am flashing back to stock to see if it's a software issue, but I doubt either of those will solve it.

Seems unlikely, as even in recovery, etc I get those lines - and screenshots show up perfectly fine, with no artifacts that would indicate a problem with the gpu.

I too agree. Although it is completely different, I got the same thing on my Xbox 360. Checkerboard/white and black lines are indicators of a bad gpu. I have since stopped using it but it will eventually lead to the red ring.

If it was the GPU is should show up in a screenshot, no? Anyway, I'll try to get a technician to have a look at it and see if he can do anything.
It's really weird though how the problem disappears once the temperature reaches 40 degrees celsius. I really can't figure this thing out.

hey I have the same issue on my phone.Grey horizontal lines appeared on the screen. Only 1/3 of my phone screen is in normal condition without grey lines. When I used my phone at the outdoor approximately under 6 deg celcius, 2/3 of my phone screen were then covered by dark screen!!! However, when i go to a warmer place and restart my phone few times then it had gone better condition yet the grey lines still appear there. May I know have you solved your phone screen issue?? Your help will be greatly appreciated.
As said before, GPU. My old Xbox did the same thing but if I put a heater behind it it would be fine. Sounds like the soldering is bad to be honest.

Unfortunately I have not been able to solve it, at this point heat no longer matters. Whether the phone is hot or cold I still get about the same amount of grey lines. You can try to take it in to get checked for faulty screen or gpu, but where I live the repairshop didn't have the necessary parts.

Sorry for posting on this old thread, but I have the same problem, did you find a fix?
So after month of owning this phone (SD version), yesterday I noticed that there was green pixel on dark backround. After a while of looking at black picture with max brightness, I noticed several small red-blue-green dots all over the screen, which weren't visible on other backrounds. I have already sent it to repair centre (free screen replacement). I just wanted to ask, is it frequent problem with RN3 or I was just unlucky? Is there any side effects of replacing the screen?
I'm using this device for about 6 months now and i haven't seen even one dead pixel in my phone till now, but I haven't noticed even one dead pixel on the screen till now...
So, I guess you were unlucky and your device had this problem...

Can you check it on dark room, with dark backround and 100% brightness? Just want to make sure Also, I think I was unlucky too, I hope replacement screen is better.

I have rn3 sd version.
and I noticed 3-4 dead pixels on the screen
it cannot be seen on regular usage. hardly can be noticed when lcd test (dark screen full brightness)
I think many rn3 phones have same problem. many users just have not noticed yet.
it's common and expected, for the price you won't get the best panel, i also have 2 stuck pixels, one green and one red
Yeah I got one too and maybe 2-3 more...but not visible in normal usage.
Happened after like 5-6 months.
hmm, it seems that many are having stuck pixels, mine just had too many and it's free screen replacement anyway, so Thanks for replies guys.

I couldn't spot any dead pixel on my phone....
I guess I'm the lucky one then:fingers-crossed:
Some of my friends have the same device and they also don't have any dead pixels...
Well, see if your replacement panel also have the same issue...
Edit: I don't think that's a kernel bug as many users including me are on Radon and none of them reported this issue...
I have a unusual red fingerprint that barely visible on the bottom part of my screen.
You can only see it on still black screens and you will have to look carefully to see it.
It is a comment problem to LCD screen my all phones have dead pixel except Redmi note 3

Yeah, I'm pretty sure thats not kernel related (I haven't flashed any custom kernels anyway). I hope replacement screen will be good.
I had a orizontal green line at bottom only on miui.
On aosp doesnt exist.
My phone has several blue and green patch, when I purchased never noticed it till 1 month. After that I got screen replacement when I visited service center, Now my phone creeks.. If grabbed hard its back panel creeks.
I don't blame, Its a cheap company and cheap phone. But performance is good.

Creaking is actually common on RN3. Althought mine didn't (well, I was using a silicon case) and I don't think screen replacement did that, unless service center did a bad job at it.

Actually back panel is rubber glued. (The speaker and upper panel) I think when they open up phone, for screen, they removed rubber glue, so now it creeks against plastic..
