On my OG, there are a few yellow spots in the screen, mostly around the edges, only visible on pure white. The largest is in the lower left corner (portrait orientation). In portrait it isnt very noticeable, but in landscape, that entire corner is dead, about 1/4 inch in. I can't touch it, but it displays fine. This causes problems typing and playing games in apps that force orientation in that direction in landscape. Old Snow JB, Stock ICS and current Stock JB all did it. Any ideas on what the cause is? It only does it in landscape, right above the back softkey.

If it happens in every single rom, and since this issue hasn't been brought up before, it's probably just your phone. :x
Got insurance?
I have a yellow spot in lower left portrait add well. Doesn't seem to effect touch sensitivity though. Is almost bugging me enough to do a best buy warranty claim...

I figured it was.. I was grasping at straws. Sigh. I do with Best Buy. But I don't have good records with warranties and insurance. 7 Captivates, 3 Atrix 4g's...

I just spent hours setting up all my apps, widgets, media, everything. Now I notice when the capacitive buttons are lit I have two tiny pinhole sized light leaks under the buttons at the bottom edge of the screen....grrrrr! Not very noticeable but freaking lame. Take it back?

Same thing.
Mine isn't that noticable unless ur in the perfect spot looking at the phone from the reverse angle, figured that never happens anyway. For the user you never see it so, /shrug.
Seems like it might be a common problem though if yours is similar.
If your talking about when you hold the phone vertical and look straight down the edge of the screen. I have them too.

I'm having the same problem, but like you wrote it's not noticeable unless you are looking at it from an angle. For now I'll live with it but if it gets any worse I'm taking it back to Verizon.
All of them are like that, so if that is your only complaint, no don't return it.
I can't find any light leaks on mine...
Maybe I'm lucky or I just don't see it.
The EVO had the same issue, 1st builds of anything are gonna have issues

I notice that too, but I think that is normal. My light leaks are actually at the very bottom of the phone, in the black area beneath the buttons. You can see them when holding the phone normally, not upside down or at an angle.

Thats where is was talking about. Im not noticing them just looking at the phone regularly only at a downward angle.
Yeah, I noticed it too. I then looked at my Dinc and it had the same problem. Never noticed it before and I've had that since July. Haha

i dont see it but that wouldnt bother me long as the phone works im fine .. shoot i already have this ugly bulky extended battery but hey if it getts me better phone time cool
Noticed this too when using phone in a darker environment. There's light bleeding through between the bottom glass and the case near the back button when viewing at about 65 degree.
Hey guys,
I noticed if I put pressure on the left side of the tablets edges, the screen pushes in slightly. It very very slight
Is that something to worry about
Mine does the same thing.. Not too worried about it....yet.

I have the same with original Transformer. I noticed it while trying to check if it creaks (after half a year of having the device). I think it's nothing to worry about.
thanks guys!
Mine does the same thing. The trouble is that when it deflects, it makes a slight 'click' noise that is very annoying.
This is on the left side (i.e. volume rocker side), right?
Mine has it on both the left and the right side. Very slight though. No noise but a little concerning but good to hear that others have the same problem.
mine 2
add it to the list lol
Oh my God, return it now

I feel like I might return mine if it creaked or the screen had movement. One of the things I love about this tablet and now the dock is how solidly it is built. I have to wonder if all of these creaks and loose screens are a result of careless techs during the wifi correction.

I hate you for mentioning this.
I noticed it the other day, but I wanted to ignore it.
watch for dust getting under the glass tho.. I have a few pieces stuck under it already.
I have the same issue. If you hold the prime in landscape (as it is supposed to be), I can feel the screen push in on the top right and also the bottom right of center (from where you would dock it). Not to concerned right not, but as another poster said, would be worried about it if dust and stuff got in under the screen.
My bevel seems loose around the front facing camera, as if they've not stuck it down properly. Seems ok elsewhere though.
hi guys
I have probleme in my touchpad . I got yellow spots in corners
Anyone got this probleme

Same here, I have 2 of them near to speakers. I only see them when the screen is black( like webos booting). Probably something is pressing to lcd. Can we do something against it? Does it go under warranty?

I have them at random spots at random times (sometimes right at the middle of the screen); I tried sending it in for repair, but they just sent it back after doing a doctor - so the problem is still there.
Took some pics when it happened if someone wants to see it.
Maybe dead pixels?

No, in my case, it tends to come and go as it pleases.
I have those spots as well. I think its just normal clouding as on most TVs. Since its only visible when the screen is completely black, its not that much of a problem.
One time I pressed down on the center of the screen by mistake with my elbow, and when I looked at the screen there was a yellow light halo in the center about an inch wide. I freaked out, but I 'massaged' the screen softly in the center and it went away. Might be something pressing behind the screen ?
I've yet to get my TP, hopefully by next week.
But as I read all your posts, it sounds a little bit like "Screen Burn in".
But, burn in usually most noticable with a white screen, not a black screen like some you have mentioned. Again I'm just taking a wild guess here.
I guess I will be able to contribute more when I get my device.
But then again I'm Hoping I won't have this problem at all.
=o)
Edit: 02/10/2012
I've had my HPTP for over a week now and have yet to experience any yellow spots on the screen anywhere.
Could this be an issue that happens over a period of time?
How long have you guys had your HPTP before this problem started?
I have the problem also. There are also some issues, like glue-points between the display and the cover, the display sticks off at the home button and there are other issues of the production. My touchpad is only a few weeks old and now i will send it back under warranty.

yup, same thing just happened to me
On the left side and up in the corner if it is a yellowish on dark that is lightbleed. I have it bad enough it is very visible even at 50%. This appears to be a common issue. I sent mine in for something else and it came back with still light bleed. They have offered advanced replacement, but the more I read the more I believe this is common and will never be fully free of it.
Here's a slideshow for people to make fun of:

Its actually worse than the camera picks up;
That is horrible and nothing remotely like light bleed. Send that bad boy in.
Yeah thats nothing like what I have. You should send that in

I already have, but as mentioned, it just came back the same way; I've had this problem since I've bought it.
The worst ones are at the edges of the screen, but I didn't manage to get pics of when it happened.
Looks like internal screen delamination. That should def. be covered under your warranty as its a manufacturing defect that occurred when the screen was originally made. It's nothing you did.

The problem is that even though its under warranty, they don't do anything about it - possibly because they do not notice it as it pops up at random times.
So far after owning the phone for 3 days I've noticed several problems with my Note and may go ahead and return it for a new one. First my stylus seems to to thinks its pressed down when it's not but only towards the bottom of my screen where the "space" and "." key are on the Samsung keyboard. Secondly I've noticed a dark splotch and some dots towards the top of my screen thats only visable on grey to black colors and is really only visable at night. Lastly ive beeb unable to get my USB host to work, though its possible its just the cable (from/for my old Nokia N810). Anyways have any of you guys experienced these problems or other problems and is it worth returning in my case? Thanks.
Yes!!!! Mine does that too around the space and period key. Have you oc'd? I think that is my issue. I returned my phone and got a brand new one but it still had the same issue but only after that. And only after charging.

Is a no brainer that if you have anything but a beautiful screen you should return it, the screen in this phone is amazing so if you notice anything like you say I would definitely return and get it replaced for a new one.

I also have the dark spots. If i go into google and type in black screen and make it full screen and go under a blanket in pitch black there are spots on the screen that look like large individual pixels that are more black than the rest kf the screen. Theres probably like 28 tiny squares that so this.
Cant see them on any other color though. And cant sse them them at day when on a black screen.

There is a thread about the stylus issue here in the forums. Sorry can't get you the link right now. I can tell you mine does not do that.
About the splotches, it's inherent to how AMOLED screens are manufactured. Everyone has them. Some worse than others. It has never bothered me though.

Yeah really the screen spots arent a HUGE issue for me its the stylus, the fact it only does it in that one spot leads me to believe its a digitizer issur rather than just the stylus, though it doesnt do it with my ThinkPad tablet PC's Wacom pen...
Please go to this thread and run all the image/video tests to see if your screen issue is even worse than you think right now:

Well guys I took my Note to the AT&T store and showed them the problem with the stylus, both display models did it and the Note one of the AT&T employees owned did the same thing, they gave me another Note but it did it worse! so I got them to give me back my original Note. What do you think? mass defect? does anyone elses do this?
Hi guys.
when i am on a landscape mode only, a big square appears every 2-10 seconds on the left upper side of the device (left to the LG logo)...
is it a software or a hardware issue?
Thanks!
Same issue here. No clue.

that's really strange.
I too am having the issue. Will probably use this to justify trading for another phone within my 45 day Best Buy silver premier return window. I like the phone but this issue and how my phone just shuts offs needing me to hold the power button to reset twice a week is getting annoying. I also noticed the back is easily scratched. Always run my screens naked and never had a scratch since my Diamond Touch so figured the back would fare as well as screens. Picked up three noticeable scratches on back within a week.

Is there a reason for these phones turning off like that? It happens to me a bit too, and I have to hold the power button for a bit to get it to restart.
@OP: No, I do not notice this issue. Maybe I'm just not looking in the right area though..
I think it may be related to heat. The area on mine sort of stretches and distorts the image in a nice rectangular area. If you look at the teardown, it is where the ram is located along with processor underneath. Since it happens to everyone in the same spot, I doubt it's a defect in the screen but a symptom of the heat. Can't be a harbinger of good things.
