Purple spot on screen - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I just found a purple spot on my screen. Just a little smudge, barely visible (not at all in normal use) but it can be seen when the screen turns white. Is this a HW problem ? And can it be connected with dropping the phone before a week ? I assume that it would have appeared adter the drop, but it appeared today, I'm 100% sure that it wasn't there yesterday when I was reading + the spot is in lower right corner and the only little sign of the drop (nothing is damaged,just the corner of the phone) is on the upper left corner, where it hit the ground. I've never had any problems with my phone,for over a year now. Runnig CM10+Siyah.
thanks

A pic would help too... Did you try connecting it to an external display, Most likely a screen burn because the amoled screen is very hard to break you only break the glass in front of it usually. Maybe screen wear how long has it been since you bought your phone?

hi, thanks for an answer. this is the photo, like I said, it's barely visible on it.. but I also think that it hasn't anything to do with the drop. it is a year now, with heavy (really heavy) usage.
edit: the scratches are just screen protector and it is not problem with it, I tried to remove it.

Cracked glass - what are my options?

Hi, I dropped the phone (it fell from my pocket when I was sitting on the bench in the gym changing room) from circa 30 cm height and looked at the phone and everything was ok - from such a small drop, no wonder.
But by the time I got home I saw a crack forming from the side of impact (the phone dropped "on its feet" - hitting the frame) which went all the way to the opposite side of the frame. It stopped there of course and now I have a screen split in two by the crack running all the way from bottom to the top.
It is visible only when looking at an angle with light background on the screen, but I do not want a crack in the glass.
What are the options here? Where to repair it (preferably in the UK)? How much?
Or is it better to sell it to one the fellows here who bricked their phones (I read so many threads about this here lately)?
Any input is appreciated :fingers-crossed:
the screen works perfectly - it it just the look that is bothering me
I'm in the same position and the device is working fine. As long it isn't visible and everything is ok, why spend a lot of money?
But if you still want to change it, here it is a guide and in OP signature a site where you can buy the kit:

I had the same problem like you. But I had to change the glass / display (they're the same) in the day that my screen stopped working. I bought a new one here in Brazil for R$600,00... that's like aproximatelly US$300,00...

two big problems with build quailty im not happy

Ok the tablet is great. But after a week ive noticed today two things that are making me return it and probally ask for money back.
The back near the power button feels as if its not glued down when u push it slightly it clicks, this isnt acceptable in a 400 quid tablet
Now the screen ive just noticed this when I hold the far right corner the screen shows extreme signs of pressure from back and distorts,its. Only does it along the left hand side.
Has anyone else noticed these problems

I have mine arriving on the 6th, so I hope I don't get any problems like this. However, it does sound unusual from all the reviews I've read. I'd say replace it, sounds faulty.
Noticed it also on the right side.
Screen is also too sensitive.

the power button is designed that way i think.. but the sensitivity on the right is i didn't notice so far.. i felt a little bit sensitive when i first remove the plastic cover on the screen.. i think its due to adhesive on the plastic cover..

[Q] [HELP] I do not know if this tiny light on front screen is normal ?

I just purchased a new Xperia Z2 (D6503), everything worked fine.
But I noticed there is a tiny bright light/spot looks like this "-", about 1-2 mm long, located at the left corner of the bottom bezel (which is all black) on the front screen. It is most noticeable when the screen is on. When the screen is off, this tiny light is also off, just looks grey.
I wondered what this light is for , and found no results in the user manual. I searched Z2 phone pictures online and all the bottom bezel on those phone looked whole black without any light. So i'm worried if my screen is defective.
Please help me check if you have the same light on the bottom left corner of the bezel.
Thank you!

I'm new to this phone too, but I don't have anything like you describe. I think you may have a faulty device.
Maybe damaged pixel? Not sure, but I'm sure it is faulty hardware, take it to Sony for warranty repairs.

Is it on the display or off the display?
That wasnt clear to me?

off the display , in the black bezel region at the bottom of the front of the phone.
It is most likely a manufacturing defect where the the bezel was scratched on the back side. This causes light from the backlight to bleed through the glass when the display is turned on. Sorry OP, maybe try to exchange it?

Galaxy Win Duos Damaged Screen

Hey guys I have recently noticed there is a small dark spot on my device's screen, I don't know why and how did it happen besides the battery is swollen, that's not recent though, but yesterday I realised the battery was more swollen than before and I could see weird colors on the screen, so I took off the rear case of the phone so it wouldn't screw up the screen, everything was OK after I took off the case - no more weird colors, but then so, the next day I turned on my phone and I saw a dark spot on right upper corner of the screen, kinda next to the phone's battery slot, it's not really a big spot though but it bothers me, so now I'm wondering if the battery leaked and the fluids of it went to the LCD, but I have checked it many times and I haven't seen it leaking, what did happen to my screen? Is there anything I can do to remove this annoying spot from it?
Anyone?

Weird Screen Issue - Layer Missing

Hey all,
I have a very strange issue with my P20 Lite.
When the light hit the screen in a certain way, I noticed thatthe top right corner of the screen seems to be missing a layer.
The majority of the screen is just black, however the top right shows a pattern. I assume this is the capacitive touch layer.
When the screen is on, it is pretty much not noticable...
I have had a glass screen protector on the phone since day 1.
The attacchments show it pretty well.
Any idea what has caused this?
I assume replacement is the only 'fix'...
Thanks
