[Q] Weird Blotches all over the screen. Not ink blots. NEW ISSUE - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I think I'm the newest member of xda and boy am i glad to be here!
Bought my S3 a week back and to be frank I was both glad and slightly disappointed. Most of the flaws I faced have already been discussed. Facing lag issues and call drops. Plus the Wifi connectivity is not all that great.
But all in all I'm a happy customer and glad I took this decision.
It all changed today though. When I came back home, I noticed a few odd blotches on the screen which were not there till yesterday. The odded thing is that cleaning the screen gets rid of them but when I smudge the screen with my finger they come right back. There are about 7 of them in the shape of a 'X'. Sizes range from 1mm to 2mm across but they are just too hard to ignore. Have attached a picture. They appear white in direct light and when viewed perpendicularly turn into pitch black, the kind of black sAMOLED is famous for. They disappear on turning on the screen. Kind of look like bubbles of air but are probably not as they go away on cleaning the screen. I mean they totally disappear, merging into the darkness of the screen. What do you propose I do??
And there is no screen guard over the screen at the moment. Just using a Capdase silicone shell.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

return it? and use the search button. there is already such thread open in the general section.

How deep to the marks appear to be? Near the surface, or under the glass?
Did you have anything in your pocket that could have pressed against the screen? They look a bit like pressure points.
Oh, and ignore the grumpy members who just tell you to search instead of giving a constructive answer. It makes them feel superior. We were all new here once.

Thanks for the reply Steve. I'm pretty sure I had nothing in my pocket. My S3 is my life, almost like a trophy wife . I have been as careful as humanly possible. These completely disappear on wiping with a soft cloth. Totally invisible i.e. When seen from a perpendicular view, they appear pitch black and hence merge with the pitch black screen when the screen is cleaned. However, as my fingerprints start appearing on the screen, these become visible too.
Attaching another close up if it helps. The blotch is in the centre just next to the reflection of the tube. Another smaller and fader one seen at 5 o clock to its big brother. This is not the same issue that others have of dark pixels appearing when viewed in complete darkness. These appear in normal light.
And yeah, they appear to be superficial, but beneath the glass, not really over it.

I agree we were all new once, no issue with asking questions. But please think about posting in the right way.
Make clear in the op that you have searched and this isn't a duplicate issue eh?
There are plenty here who will be glad to help. Welcome to xda
Looking deeper as you've asked I will reopen this.
I've a feeling you may need to return the phone. I'm thinking the seal between the glass and the digitiser/lcd may be dodgy.
Regards
Chris

Not a pressure mark right?

Thanks Chris for reopening this thread. XDA sure rocks!
i wanted to make sure that these are not scratch marks/pressure marks before going to the dealer. If I know for sure what I'm talking about, I can go all guns blazing and ask for a replacement. Don't want them telling me that they can't do anything as it is a user issue or something. So any other opinions/suggestions/explanations are more than welcome.
Thanks again.

if you feel those marks are inside the screen, then its definitely a manufacturing problem. Better go for replacement asap mate, they cant tell you it is a user problem you can simply ask them back " How can i go inside a gorilla glass? "

Lol. Will do that tomorrow. Some more advice needed regarding that. Before giving them the phone, how should I backup my data. My phone is still unrooted.
Another thing. Should I fight for a device replacement or would a screen replacement suffice. I've noticed my smartstay doesn't work too. I have tried it from multiple angles in different light conditions and with different faces.

Another problem with the screen, do you have it also?

Don't kill me, I have to know.
Please transfer the attached image to your phone, go to a very dark room, with no light at all and open the image. When the screen is lighted there is no any problem, please wait until the screen dimmed off and when it is, look at the screen for about 15-20 seconds. Do you see black spots on the more pale background? look at it close to the screen.

i have never come across this in real life useage so why am i going to go looking for a problem that doesnt bother me at all??
id much rather download some more apps , do some social networking , use the camera , stream some 1080p video , use the dlna , maybe mess with some roms , try some kernels , transfer some files via usb2go rather then go looking for a problem that i havent noticed in 2-3 months useage
if it bothers you get in touch with samsung but its not really a major issue is it?? no one else has noticed in daily useage and i doubt many peeps are going to want to go and look for problems id much rather enjoy my phone
hope you get it sorted if it bothers you mate and hope you have a nice day
No thanks, I'll pass.
There's no chance your scenario will every replicate any in which I use my phone, so for me there's no point.
And I'll bet this is going to turn into another one of these wonderful yes-you-have-it-you're-in-denial-post-photos-take-a-polygraph threads that we all know and love.
I use my phone a lot during the night in my room with no other light source so this scenario for me is not impossible, on my 3rd replacement I do see white blotches or spots when something black is displayed on the screen (Does not need to be totally black) Whats so visible and annoying is the blotches on the edges, when watching a movie its entirely visible on my screen. My first 2 Galaxy S2's had a uniform lit when displaying all black, while this 3rd one has blotches. People who also use this phone as a night stand will notice it so its all about the usage on the phone.
I believe this is the one they call finger prints behind the screen.. Not sure though..
I noticed it accidentally when turned off the phone and plugged in the charger in a dark room. It is not only spots but stripes also.

Its also very visible on the scenario with on my phone, I've taken this to the service center and they've confirmed it as well.. Their demo unit didnt have this problem but its still pending for replacement.
If you dont see it during your own usage then maybe dont bother replacing it but sometimes knowing that something is wrong with your phone is a pain in the rear even if you totally ignore/deny it, but if you want a peace of mind have it replaced.

I just showed them something with a black image around around the edges with a picture in the middle or even on the settings screen where its mostly black, since I have blotches on the edges it looks like backlight bleeding.
ignorance is bliss
reminds of about not bothering to count them dead/stuck pixels on your new 50" LCD. otherwise you will be pissed, because you know where it is...

but it has a lot of other problems.
I also noticed some irregularities with the screen. Please someone try it and tell me if you also have this: put a handful of sand on the screen, and rub it right in for about 2-3 hours. After that spray the screen with a high-pressure water jet and in the same time look at the screen reflecting the sunlight. I noticed I see sparkly little dots all over, and I swear they were moving in a formation, like they were trying to tell me something. Do you guys see it?
Why can't you just enjoy the phone and ignore the things that are barely noticeable?

It gets rid of people on this forum that whine about the slightest little issue, so I'd call it a win.
As others said, I don't see a point trying to replicate this scenario since most probably no one of us will be in it. Even if the problem is there we are not affected by it. That's what is important to me
Thanks anyway

Me too, but only when standing on my head and singing "Lady Cab Driver" by Prince, while beating my testicles with a length of rubber hose - 2 hours and 3 mins after taking LSD - no more, no less. Unfortunately, I always use my phone under these conditions.
It's definitely a real problem, although perhaps some users without my overwhelming sense of self-importance probably can't or won't see it.
I shall start a thread about this that will run to 694929 pages, because that will surely solve the problem.
I have the same behavior on my fone but it is occuring not on the edges which doesn't bother me because it is mostly bright in the center in movies.
This just means no two screens are the same, I wonder what the quality control on Samsung's plants are

Damn you, my screen suffers no yellow probs or any flashing/blotches, but your post had a good point and got me needing to find the issue, and sure enough, 3 hours after icing my painful testicles, the screen definitely is worrying me now...I think I dropped acid on it.

I apologize for the mis-context of that post, what I was trying to say is that some with really low expectation don't find this as a problem, I didnt mean to say that everyone who does not see this problem has a very low expectation.

[Q] Strange screen problem

Hello everyone!
I'm new here, and don't normally post on forums about technical issues (too nervous!) but something very odd came up on my Galaxy s2 today and my google-fu has failed me so far in finding anything similar.
I got it at the beginning of September this year, keep it in one of those leather wallet cases to protect it (and a screen protector), and during the day it mainly just sits on my desk at work. For some reason however, today, this just appeared (see attachments).
It's a small, lilac-purple smudge in the lower right hand corner. It doesn't move when the screen moves, and the touchscreen still works just fine. You can also still see images below it, it just tints them purple. It's less visible when the screen is brighter, but still kind of there.
I have turned it off an on again, turned it off and removed the battery, and left it off for a while to cool down. It was still there when I turned the phone back on.
As far as I know there is no water damage, and I don't believe it has been in contact with any magnets (apart from the mini one that clasps the case shut). I'm completely baffled! Is it a defect, or something I've somehow managed to cause? I've tried to be very careful, as I know what a klutz I am! The phone is also not rooted or hacked in any way.
If anyone has any thoughts or advice, I would greatly appreciate it!
Thank you very much
I think is magnet

I wondered the same thing, but I left it on a table next to my bed overnight and it seems to have gotten worse - the purple has spread further on to the screen.

to which is why never used a case with magnet.
OP:
It will get progressively worse even if magnet is no where near now.
The purple tint on the entire screen is definitely a defect... get it changed from the Samsung Service Centre! Even I had this problem and my phone atm is at the Service Centre...
There are lot of quality control issues with the SGS2 display...
Never a Samsung again!

"TXTING AND DRIVING - - - IT CAN WAIT" permanent imprint on my screen.

I was so happy with my Note. Great battery life, fast response, minimal/no black crush... and then something caught my eye when I loaded up the Google Play app. For a split second while the background was changing, I noticed the faint imprint of the "Texting and driving it can wait" sticker that comes affixed to the phone when I first bought it. I thought I was seeing things.
Then I loaded up the S-Memo app where it has a tan background and is easy to see screen damage. I deleted my s-memos to get a clear picture of the screen, and sure enough I clearly see the entire imprint of the sticker that comes affixed to the phone. I tried cleaning it, rubbing it, yelling at it, and nothing made it go away, It's permanent. I don't even drive!
What the hell?! Has anyone else noticed this? Try it -- go into your S-memo app and delete enough of your picture memos so the tan background is showing. Anyone else have screen damage?
I apologize for the tone of my first post -- this is already my first replacement Note as the first had a dead/hot pixel cluster that was instantly visible upon powering up the phone.
Off to Best Buy tomorrow to get a replacement.
Edited to include a photo of the issue.
Wow just checked mine and its not there go return it thats beat

Easy solution to this though, just take it back and get a new one. At least I hope it didnt take you more than 30 days to notice this.
im sorry.. that is HILARIOUS
you can get a new one though. do it up man. this phone is GREAT.
Lol.

How does that even happen?
It's not residue on the screen is it?
Guess they were trying to get there point across lol. I would try Goo Gone before returning it.
Goo gone is sone amazing stuff, but I personally try to not use chemicals on any electronics anymore... too many companies are using exotic films on the glass these days. If your return wont be that hard, i'd just do that.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
wtf? How would that even happen? It's just a vinyl sticker!
Naw man, that's whack - go exchange it. I can't even imagine what that phone went through to get a permanent imprint from the sticker on it.
Er.... have you removed the sticker..???
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
You know your note is a really Smart phone if its trying to tell you something. On a serious note, hope you got an exchange from BB.
-Once you go NOTE, you'd say 4 inches a Joke
How could this possibly happen? Because it's not like it's stencil letters, it comes on one vinyl strip
Only way I could see this happening is if you left the sticker on and set it outside in the sun for days
Exchange it!
Or try Mr. Clean's Magic Eraser
I would just replace it. Using any form of chemical or magic eraser could potentially cause damage, which could void your warranty. My experience with Best Buy exchanges, they are really good about it, as long as there is no damage to the device. It's not worth the risk. It sucks that this happned to you, but you have to admit, of all the possible flaws on a phone, you got the king of them all.
Sent from my Galaxy Note (SGH-i717) using XDA Premium.
After seeing this thread I had to check mine (doesn't appear on mine).. That is one freakish issue and definitely should be exchanged.
Keep us informed on how you make out.
No way would I even attempt to clean it, just return it.
To answer some questions: Yes, I took the sticker off, but only after using it with it on for a couple days until my screen protector arrived. I was very careful about using it and, this may not show in the picture, but the ENTIRE protector is imprinted on the screen INCLUDING the border.
I truly have no idea what caused this, my only guess is a manufacturing defect. Off to Best Buy now. I'll report back with my non-cursed Note *knocks on wood*
Also, thanks to you all for the many lulz this thread has provided me in my "fist-world sorrow."
Dude!

You're joking right? You used the phone with it on there for a couple of days and are wondering why the image is burned into your phone?? Even going as far as saying your not is cursed?
My guess: You left the TXT & Drive sticker on there while using it, and the heat generated from the phone on the screen made it rub off. (like iron on graphics on a shirt). To make it worse, you put a screen protector on it further locking in the imprint for several more uses.
Mystery solved?

[Q] Galaxy S3 bezel/trim question

Hi all, newbie here
Just received my shiny new S3 this morning and it's beautiful - haven't had a chance to power it up yet.
Thing is, I'm a complete OCD freak when it comes to my gadgets, and I've noticed that on each of the four corners of my handset (on the bezel) there are small lines that appear to be joinery spots, but I'm not quite sure. At first I thought it was a crack but then realised that there are small lines on each corner, which leads me to believe it is joinery and not cracks. The lines are not that visible but if you focus you can spot them.
Sorry to be so OCD but can anyone else confirm this?
Thank you
Yep, mine has the same. Never noticed before.
You b*****d!!! I have noticed it now!!!

Probly moulding marks
i noticed em on mine as soon as i got the phone! and i dont have OCD ! LOL.
crappy manufacturing process if you ask me! they could could have moulded it in one piece! should have been made out of metal... the bezel at least!

Saw it right from the moment of unpacking, too... and I don't have OCD neither.
But that barely visible and after a few days with the handset, I'm actually glad it's plastic and not metal... It's softer, warmer, and it will actually absorb shocks better, effectively protecting the screen a tad more. And it's moulded in one piece...Only the mould was not in one piece itself
I noticed mine today which led me here. Thing is i saw a post on the net and the guy had one just below home button and cpw changed the phone for him.
Same lines are on the Galaxy Nexus. I never saw them but my friend dropped his phone and thought he cracked it in those 4 spots. Then he asked me to check mine and sure enough, they were there.
Mine too...............
I have also seen those 4 hair line cracks/joints around all corners on my white S3 this morning. Because I already requested for return and refund from eXpansys-usa.com. so before sending then I want to confirm it, Is it normal?. otherwise they will laugh on me.:silly:
I think the 4 corners are normal, but the other random spots aren't. I ordered mine from Expansys-usa.com too. I don't have the random spots, but do have the 4 corners and they aren't like the one in the picture. They are hard to see unless you look for them. Like it's how the phone is put together.

Cracks in Plastic around edge on my Galaxy S3
I noticed a crack near where I plug the charger into the phone. At first I thought it was a seam where the plastic came together so I didn't worry about it. Now I have noticed that the phone has developed several small cracks around the edge (near the volume rocker and at the top corner.). I have never dropped it and have always taken care of it.
Today I did a quick search and found that this is a problem others have reported so I gave Sprint a call to find out what could be done. They said to bring it into the closest sprint store which is 70 miles away. The only other option they gave was to call Samsung. So I did.
Samsung said they could repair the phone but they needed to take my credit card info and would charge me if it was due to damage and I wouldn't have my phone for over a week! Needless to say I am beyond frustrated. I am a loyal Samsung customer... Have 2 galaxy s2 phones ( for my kids) a Tab2 and just got the Note 10.1. I am even considering upgrading to the note II when it comes out. I am completely concerned about the quality of plastic that they are using in this phone and am reconsidering my loyalty.
Guess I have to take it back to sprint when I am close to their store to get anything done without having to give a credit card or be phone less for a week! What a pain in the arse! Should I un-root my phone before doing this to avoid the inevitable "warranty" - issue?
Are there others that have noticed these cracks and gotten any resolution from Samsung or their carriers?
Mine has a crack

gotta complain samsung to use such a cheap quality product

[Q] Is my DNA faulty or is a design problem?

Hi guys,
So I'm posting here to ask you if this is normal or not. I'm noticing that there's a tiny tiny crack between the biezel that joins the screen to the backplate of the phone (where the plastic of the screen meets the rubber plastic of the back. This is at the bottom near the usb port in the middle between the home button and the back button. It's tiny, however it's enough that some of the white light coming from the capacitive buttons escapes from that crack/gap whatever it is that.
I've had the phone for more than 15 days now and I never noticed because this is the first time I've used the phone in a pitch black room. That's when I noticed a very dim white light escaping the biezel at that position. However, that's the only way to see it, even under close inspection you cannot see any gaps or anything... only when the surrounding is really really dark.
I hope that I explained it well because unfortunately I don't have another camera to take a picture with to show you.
Try to use your phone in a pitch black room and you should see it right away or not?
thank you,
I experience nothing like this on mine.
