I dropped my SGS2 at a party saturday (april 13th), but it came up without a scratch on the screen, just a very small bruise on the corner of the phone, no problems till then.
Monday (april 15th) when I was going to bed I noticed a pink shade on the bottom left corner of my screen, I could only notice it on white backgrounds.
I really dont know what happened to the screen since it is without a bruise, does someone know what is it? Does it have a fix?
I'll upload a photo ASAP.
Thank you!

It hasn't changed!
Its more like a soft red, I thought it is very strange too...
I'll be seeing a tech soon, hopefully a screen replacement will not be needed!

youre sure it wasent there before?
smartphone screens sometimes habe strange hues that are only visible if you display a completely white screen. which is why they dont bother most people

I dont know if it was related to the hit that my phone suffered, but it wasnt there before it! It became visible from one day to another, I use a lot of white screens for emails and browsing, I would have noticed it before...
Im supposed to see a tech Thursday, let's pray for the best

Hi guys
On my SGS2 when the touch buttons are lite part of the light seeps through the gap of the hard button. Does anyone else have this?
I can only see it when it's pretty dark but its very annoying.
I don't have this :s

Yeah, I have it too, but it's not too bad and only visible from certain angles and in a dark room.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Yeah I sometimes have itbut almost rarely, and like the other guy said only from certain angles when I'm looking for it. I put pressure on the button in that direction and it disappears usually

When you look at the touch button straight on can you see the light?
Mine has the same issue but i dont care.
I can only see it when I'm using the phone when it's completely dark

My phone did this at first but it went away after a couple weeks as the home button got better seated through use. Definitely not worth returning over.
same here, right hand side!
this was the reason for me to switch off the button lights in settings. looks better anyway
It has to be pretty dark...
didnt realise you could turn the light off

send it back, complain to samsung, demand they redesign the handset!
erm...
This will make it heavier and bulkier!!!
Happens to mine and there is NO PROBLEM with it. Be happy!

And more expensive. All these perfectly good handsets getting returned for new ones have to be paid for somehow.
I switched mine off looks so much better, per sonly I wish it was all black like the nexus s, i think that looks so sexy
Have it too, but dont matter !! I am a perfectionist too ( 620 euros it is for a phone !! ) but i think... i mean ... returning it for this????
If it is same as anyone elses in here its BARELY visible and you should try to find it again.. enjoy your phone. ( there are great chances of getting a same unit back, cause its a design thing i think )
Hey,
have it as well. But I don't really mind.

Hi Ministig
I've got the white spot/pixel issue,only noticed it when I was looking at another site which had a very dark blue background

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.
I've been searching on google and on here and can't seem to find a thread on it.
My home button led seems to leak half way into my display when i'm viewing a black screen.
The screen would display a black image and having the buttons on makes the home button leak on the screen
It is really annoying... Anyone else have this issue? it looks like a lightsaber on my phone...

Given where you sent this message from, I think you may be in the wrong forum.
If not, I can't say I've had such an issue, but apart from using a mod to turn off the LEDs for good, there's probably not much you can do.
i'm using my hd2 because I just got my vibrant from Samsung for a screen replacement....
No one has a problem if the led from home leaking?

In complete darkness it gets to about half of the screen. In normal light its not as bad.

Yea I have the same problem, My gfs doesnt. I think its a factory defect when they are putting it together. One little pinhole in the paint that seperates the softkeys from the rest of the screen and boom, you have led glare half way up the screen.
I had 3 vibrants replaced an they all had same problem but I dont care buttons are off most of the time
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I have this problem but it's very minor. I barely see it when dark. Do they just give you a new vibrant for replacement? Were you able to force them to let you do like an upgrade to a better phone or something?
no they replaced the chrome bezel and the housing + the display and glass...
It's practically new now..

Same exact thing here. The home button leakage is on most(if not all) vibrants. But it's only noticable in near or in pitch dark really. Using 2.2.1 roms turn off the lights while not being used but for some reason, that particular build on whatever rom always decreases sensitivity to the point where going back to used applications(holding home) doesn't work while the processor is being used extensively(800-1ghz) which is REALLY annoying. Anyone else by chance?

Since doing the work it too much, Ilm sure they instead give you a refurbished vibrant and used your old one for parts. In other words, Samsung didn't repair anything for yours but gave you another vibrant(which could be using parts from various sources).
It's the same imei and the same way the home button leaks... I also have a minor scratch on the camera which mine still has

I picked up a s 3 Sunday and noticed that that screen has a slight yellow tint to it. I've read it could be the glue not fully dried our whatnot. I notice that If I tilt the phone and view it from different angles, then the yellow tint disappears white backgrounds are "white"
Should I take the phone sand exchange it or will this go away?

Go to Settings>Display>Screen and un check auto adjust screen tone then reboot. The yellow tint should be gone.

Short answer NO, its not going to clear up, I have 2 of these phones one is " white" and other is yellowish, the yellow one is actually getting worse, only problem is it might take u 3-4 phones to find a " white " its a issue with Samsung screens it took me 4 galaxy nexus to.get one that finally had no yellow tint, I'm going take this gs3 back problem is finding another one ..... ur carrier might only have 30 day retun but Samsung has a year ( repair )so its not something u need rush on if u wanna wait it out ubhave more than enough time ...

Yep there is a topic on it in general section I think. "ink marks" or something. Personally I think it is not a major problem. I have 2 or 3 tiny spots but most of the time we don't use the phone in a pitch black environment, nor are we looking at a pure black screen (how often do you spend in the homescreen?). It would however be an issue if it was noticable during movies, games etc, where the viewing experience is paramount

Yes true, it would be an issue if it was visible while watching movies and such.. but question is how long should this ink spot last compare to the other parts of the screen?
What does this ink indicate?
Yes I have them and it annoys me. And I don't understand why people defend it and say it's okay, we've all paid a lot of money for these phones how is it okay or acceptable to have black dots all over the screen? Yes it's only under very specific conditions but that's not the point, it is extremely annoying watching movies when they fade to black, when in the app launcher under dark conditions. And it's not just 1 or 2 small dots it's like someone broke a black pen and flicked it all over the screen.
It's just the way how the amoled is made. Every amoled has it. Don't worry. U won't notice that after while

I've only had the phone a few days now so I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt since everything I've read is saying you get used to it but...... It's there..... There are dots on the screen every time there's black, how do you get used to that? I understand every AMOLED screen has it but don't you think that if it's that big a problem then the screens aren't ready for prime time and need to improved? I've found myself using white everywhere when black is what saves battery on an AMOLED screen and black looks good on an AMOLED screen but I can't stand the dots.
