Answer is YES and NO :
Do I have these spots : Yes , me and majority ( may be all cant assure that ) of other users have reported these spots.
Any problem with is : No
Can it be fixed : No
Can I use dead pixel app to fix it : No - Coz its not a dead pixel
Reason : Razr used S-Amoled screen , when u club this with super thin design the manufacturing process gets complicated when you look at the price at which Moto is offering this phone to us. As you would have notices this is recreated only in a pitch black room , so it really should not be a problem on a daily use ..
some people claim :
" It’s a consequence of AMOLED pixels being organic – they are prone to degradation if they are briefly exposed to conditions like moisture during manufacture. It is a manufacturing defect all users will have to live with because AMOLED technology hasn’t matured enough to get rid of this. "
And yeah .. some of the Nexus One, Nexus S, Samsung Vibrant, HTC Droid Incredible, Samsung Galaxy SII (i9100) and Samsung Galaxy SII (T989) users also have reported it ... So dont worry

I did not know this... +1 thanks
I have heard that the majority of Razr parts are either refurbished or recycled in some way. I indeed do have these marks on my screen and yes, it is only visible in a dark room. I thought at first I had broken the screen but as it is fine during the day and night I just deal with the nuisance it brings..
Why are we dealing with this ? Did anyone gave it back and got a new one without the screen spots and lines ??

Yea this sucks..
I used to trust Motorola Hardware Engineering, now my faith is shaken.
I think it is fine if you don't have a big line of black splotches. Look at these examples and justify yours if not that bad

Not a problem at all... even Galaxy S III has those black spots.

on my new galaxy s3 i have noticed in dark backround in dark room i have them bloody annoying black spots. i have recearched it but it only says its a common problem for amoled screens. i have about 8 of these spots one which is huge. only noticable in dark room using black screen. do i get replacement or will that just be a waste of my time?
Let me recap
- you're in a very dark room
- you're watching a black screen
There's an easy hardware-fix to this problem; shortly press the button on the right side of the screen and the blotches will disappear, while the rest of the image (read: black screen) remains intact. [/IRONY]
It's, as you found out, a common sight on AMOLED however it's not an issue. These pixels are simply darker than the others.
Galaxy S3 black ink spots
ok thank you makes sense. but buying a $1000 phone you would not expect something like this. so is this a software or hardware problem sorry for askng??
return it get a new one.
i was planning to but how am i going to prove to the retailer of my problem? first of all it will need to be a very dark room which is unlikely in a shopping mall unless he throws a blanket over his head lol. second of all some people see these things more easily than others, the staff member might not be able even in the right conditions to spot any marks....
Kick his ass and make him go check it in the toilet roms. Tell him not to forget to turn the lights off lol
i wish i could but then he will charge me for rape lol. seriously though im starting to think that if i get a new one it mght even be worse
sell it get the htc one x
well u just went to the shop and they said they will contact samsung tos see if there will he a software update for this... this guy pribz dont know the first thing about phones

I too found 2 dots on my phone. I returned it immediately, got a new one after a week, found 3 dots now . I dont know what to do now.
Even if you return it a million times you'll still get some...
According to supercurio it's a software issue (trigger voltage slightly too low or something like that) and will be fixed with his upcoming 'Display Expert' app
I had some on my S2 and now on my nexus.. To prove it you can download an app called LCD Text (AMOLED) from the market (it has the logo of an RGB circle pattern) and then set it to full brightness and black screen, you will notice them very quickly.

After reading your comment I specifically reached out to supercurio to see what was up with the app. This was his response.. can't say I'm surprised but I thought I'd let you know

I got black spots too! 2 of them. Should I replace my device or is it normal?

Looks like Samsung is unable to mass-produce flawless AMOLED displays at the moment because so many people report this issue so this is not an isolated example.
yea well as i mentioned seems though swapping for new one might help or it might just make the problem worse. i think its a factory fault. i mean it does not efect the phone abilities at all but its dam anoying???

Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy S II, Galaxy S III....HTC ONE S....and all of them got same **** man. And is nothing to do about it.
well il be stuck with this phone for 2years on contract just going to have to put up and shut up lol. maybe they will release a fix in a software update?
After receiving my SGS3, I was extremely satisfied with the overall look and feel of the device. One of the main selling points (for me at least) was the deep-black color that a Super AMOLED screen had to offer. In the process of rooting the phone, I discovered several of the infamous black spots on my screen, against the dark black Downloader screen. I estimate I have about 10-15 of these, each of which are about 2x2 pixels in size, with the exception of one pattern that looks like this. ---> -__- (not kidding, lol) I've been on the fence about trying to get a replacement. So my question to you all is; How many black spots is too many? Or do they even bother you enough to do anything about them?
13.
lots is usual
hi. i discovered something like 10 black spots on my s3 in total dark environment with dead pixel testing software while screen was total black. that's the only case you can see them. i checked my wife's s3 right after and had also black spots under same conditions.
the day after i checked my brother's s3 - same.
all of them have a few - i doubt if there is any display without. but why bother? do you ever have blank screen in black room? i found out with dead pixel testing, but i can’t trace them in any other case. Enjoy your phone and omit the insignificant - invincible - dots/patterns. i got over it after reading that is common and seeing the other two s3s. seeing your question i smiled understanding your worries of defective product it's common so omit it.
I don't like that my phone has but EVERY AMOLED screens have them. Trying to get it replaced won't do anything. My PSVita has them, my GS2, GS3 :/
It seems to be a fact of life with current amoled screens, and is really not noticeable unless you are looking for it. If you're really concerned you're probably better off with slcd like the one x or evo lte.

I would give returning it a shot if it annoys you, unfortunately the phone is in such high demand and short supply you may have to wait a little. I had the same issue with my Samsung laptop. I called customer service and they told me to return it to the store I bought it for an exchange. I did and they exchanged it for one that looks great.
Hello!
I have just bought a brand new Samsung Galaxy S II.
Unfortunately, one of the first things i noticed upon unpacking it is that the screen has some strange gold colored lines in the upper part of the screen.
The lines are most visible when bright light is shone onto the screen e.g. a flashlight a lamp or out in the sun. They are most visible on dark colors or when the screen is turned off.
It looks as though the lines could be some sort of seem lines between two display pieces that are joined or bonded together. Does Samsung patch the screens together from multiple pieces?
I am not really happy about these particular lines that are present in the screen.
Has anyone else noticed such peculier lines in their display?
Hello!
Anyone else have seen this before? Would you accept this panel anomaly if it was your own phone?
Hope to get some response here :fingers-crossed:
No mate. I've never heard about such thing. I recommend u to return it and ask for a new one. It seems to be a rear factory issue.

first do not bump posts, u should have patience ma8
since its brand new, just check with the local samsung service center and see that if its a real hardware issue, and get a replacement of the same
I have just obtained a new factory fresh unit. Shockingly, the screen on the new phone has similar lines in almost the exact same position, although these lines are much less obvious than those in the first unit i got.
What the hell is going on at the Samsung factory or whoever makes the screens, it seems like they have thrown all quality control out of the window.
For such an expensive product to have these flaws is in my opinion unacceptable. There must be a lot of people that has received a phone with the same flaws.
Is there any Samsung representatives here that can comment on this quality issue?
Sometime ago I dropped my SGS3 i9300 and got a bad crack spreading from corner to edges but everything was still working fine only the gorilla glass or digitizer was cracked leaving the Amoled Screen perfectly intact.
Anyway I sent it for repair and when I received it after almost two weeks ,I noticed a dull green-bluish tint on the screen when viewed from an angle, also earlier I could barely see anything in sunlight outdoors (Common for Amoleds) but now I can see clearly even when i keep the screen directly in the sunlight!:silly:
Is it possible that the service center people have changed the original Amoled with a cheap LCD ? It was samsung service center!:crying:
Is it possible for me to know by looking at baseband or build no of rom?
for details about rom and all see the image below

Build no.

If you need more details please tell me
It's entirely possible that you got a different LCD brand. It's not uncommon for Samsung to carry multiple manufacturers for parts. There's a way to tell which LCD you currently have but that won't do you any good now. Samsung won't stick in an inferior LCD to rip you off. If you don't like it just go back and get a replacement.

Well I'm not complaining for the brand but for is it really an Amoled or LCD? Also in dark I used to see black smudges (common in some amoleds) but now they have disappeard ! Does it make any sense
You can't get an LCD ..Samsung did this once on the Galaxy s1 but named it the Galaxy SL. (New device entirely). You bought the phone with Amoled on the box, they can't give you anything else.
It's probably just a new revision improving the sun light and ink spots..

Hi,
its been a while since im going back and forth between HTC One Black and Silver.
just today, i watched a video which pointed out few flaws with Silver's build quality.
- gaps on top speaker of this model.
- sharp edge when you run your finger down from top speaker metal side toward the screen.
- feeling slight difference of depth in metal and screen when you run your finger down from speakers to screen.
it seems that these flaws have not been seen on Black version of HTC One.
here is the link to the video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzUGpKFb97M
I've asked the owner of the video for confirmation on if all of Silver models are like this. but there is no answer yet.
so, i went to the store and checked the Silver model, and YES all those issues were there on the Silver Model.
so i want you guys to confirm what video says about that all silver models have these issues and black ones don't !
Thank you.
I did notice the Black version has very little, if zero build quality issues. The display still had some stuck pixels in my experience though. Take that with a grain of salt though, I've had THE worst luck.

about these dead pixels, it looks serious considering you've had three BLACK Ones and they all have the same problem !
as stuck pixels are usually caused by production process, is there any chance that i get a phone with no dead pixels and get them later ?!
there is a possible solution to this:
The pixels aren't dead they are just stuck..I got one on mine and I used the app on the play store and let the app run overnight wake up and it's all gone

I've had my Silver One from the first batch and it has no gaps or other build quality issues, I keep seeing this same type of thread pop up, but I get the impression that at least a majority of users aren't finding problems.

I think it's a screen thing not a color of phone thing. I tried it once. Didn't work. Didn't try on this one.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
i know its not a color thing, but i've heard and seen lots of places that the black ones have much better build quality and i think this problem with the screen would be rare to see in black ones.
does any one owns a black one ?
I have the silver one and am going to return it (and maybe get the S4). The gap isn't the issue though, the glass is "popping" out of the bottom and right side of the phone. You can push it back and it makes a clicking noise and when i am on the device, you can see the actual glass come down and press against the LCD panel. I want to stick with HTC but i have had many build quality issues with them. I guess i might see if the black is built better. It is pretty sad though as the phone design is beautiful.
