Hello everyone,
I own a galaxy s III. Two months ago I noticed a red pixel in the middle of the screen.Also, due to the fact that i always put the phone in my pocket, the screen has some little scratches.
Does anyone know... if i give it to service in order to fix the pixel problem, will the also replace the screen?
I mean is the pixel thing related to the screen or is it possible to fix the pixel problem without replacing the screen?
I wouldn't give it to service as it doesn't bother me, but if by giving it i will have a new "clean" screen, then i should give it a try.
Thank you in advance
Sounds like a stuck/dead pixel.
You can tryscorresponding apps from market, even on Amoled they sometimes work.
Other than that, your only chance is to replace the screen incl. amoled and digitizer for about 250 bucks - only 170 short of a new device...

Pretty much as the title says to be honest, have had the phone 14 days but three are being gits about the exchanging it for no particular reason.
I have tried downloading and installing any and every free pixel fixer from the Market and left them running any where from 2-30 mins.
Like I say its one green pixel right in the middle of the top third of the screen.
Any suggestions please or home made remedies, I have been advised about running a magnet over it quickly but not really keen n doing that to be honest.
Thanks in advance.
Well most dead pixel fixers should run for hours and not minutes... Also, there's the pressure technique which consists of pressing down on the dead pixel. Only catch is you can't really do that with the SGS2 because of the glass. So your best bet is return the phone for warranty replacement (If possible)
U said it is a dead pixel and u want to cure it using old tech used for LCD screens.
Our GS2 has AMOLED screen which is different from LCD.
LCD pixels physically twist to let block or allow light through them which is why they get stuck.Here all those apps or home remedies may work.
For an AMOLED pixel to get "stuck", it would have to burn out meaning it would be permanently black, or if the controller had a short that for some reason continually told a particular pixel to stay a particular color.
To make long story short-claim factory warranty ASAP.
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?

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.
I love my dear Rezound, as it has helped me so many times, and maybe might've even saved my life at one point. I am the only 1 out of 5 lines who is not tied down to a contract and does not have a Samsung Galaxy S III or Note 2, because I love this phone that much. But the problem is, after 6-7 months after I got it, it fell down on the concrete sidewalk and cracked the screen. It was only two really small hairline cracks, so I didn't think anything of it, only the occasional annoyance that I dropped it whenever I watched a YT video. I was fooling around with a bunch of my friends, and it fell out of my pocket, now the screen's broken to the point where if I touch it, I can sort of like...feel the screen being pushed down. The touch screen still works, and I'm planning to get it replaced at a local mall sometime this month. So I was wondering...if the store rips me off and uses just a cheap screen, will the display be bad? Will I not get that same, cool, color as I did when it wasn't broken?
TL;DR if a store that fixes phones uses a low quality screen, will the colors not be the same as it was before?

it depends on the service at the store. If they charged less than $50 to replace it. 9 times out of 10 it was just the glass.
if it was more. then they did replace the lcd. A lot of the times they will buy OEM but you do have the off chance of getting a China knock off.
tl:dr it is quite possibly they did replace with a bad lcd. Most places offer a warranty on it so i would go talk to them.
If just the digitizer is cracked and not the LCD, then they should just replace the digitizer and all the colors and richness will remain. The only Rusk is dead spots on the touch screen which if its a reputable store should have some kind of warranty I would think.

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

Baseband version

Build no.
JZO54K.I9300XXELLC
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 there, I am using 6/64 GB variant POCO F1 for one and a half years recently I noticed problem like screen burning, on my display. If I use any app for 5 to 10 mins I see a shadow of the same app for 20-30 mins behind the screen. It is more clearly visible in dark mode or dark grey background.
Is there, anyone facing the same issue or knows whether it is a software issue or there is something wrong with the LCD panel? And if its a hardware issue where in India can I change my LCD panel for a good price with good quality?
I posting the Pictures of Screen shadow below, please check it out.

It's a hardware issue. Have an issue like that too. It happens intermittently, but isn't really an issue for me anyway because when I switch to another app it's not too noticeable. Usually happens when I read manga since the screen is mostly white, then there's artifacts for a while then is barely noticeable.
As to where you can get it fixed in your country, sorry I'm not from India so I don't know. But if there's a Xiaomi store/service center they should be able to help you
You can greatly reduce that effect on stock MIUI by going to Display > Color Scheme and change it from Automatic to Standard. Been having the same issue for about 8 months (my device is 18 months old), other than that, haven't had any other display problems, so there isn't much of a reason to replace the lcd pannel (unless you're still under warranty).
Had the same issue with a replacement screen, but after some time i decided that it bothered me too much, so i decided to replace the screen again, and now everything is fine.

what was the cost of screen replacement and did you replace the screen in MI service center or in a local shop?
Well i was able to fix it by using lawrun oc build i implemented the amoled color option and i don't have to suffer from this problem anymore.
