So, i was up late last night when i opened the camera app to test something,
i noticed a circular shadow,
so i wiped the camera, still there, gave it a wash, still there,
checked the lens and it was fine, not a single mark,
yet this circular shadow was still there
So im guessing a spec of dirt on the lens?
anyway this morning i wake up and yep still there,
but i believe its moved its now in the center of the screen (was to the left before)
so i left it upright all day hoping it was gonna go, but it hasn't moved,
so could any of you tell me what i should do?
what i can do?
what you would do?
thanks alot and btw ive got no warranty so that aint an option
UPDATE:
Just came across this thread i have completely forgotten about, so just to inform anyone if they have a similar problem,
in the end i just choose to ignore it and ended up completely forgetting about it, the phone is almost 2 years old now and i went to have a look for any marks but couldn't find anything, so either it just went overtime or my eyesight's failing...

If you washed it bedore it got the marks its probably condensation inside. I wrote this a couple days ago, give it a try and like it if it works.

I can't see anything there but if you see something there then I guess your eyes are better than mine. Either way, you might want to check and see whether that's not GCHQ/MI5 looking over your shoulder. #justsaying...
Hmm it is a hardware issue
Its almost unnoticable, honnestly i say ignore it
If it realy bugs you try to get a replacement

Ok Looking for some help to see if anybody know how to reset the horizontal calibration on this phone.
I flashed a new ROM yesterday and when I went to set the calibration after I pressed the horizontal calibration and green circle centers it will shoot off to one side once it's finished which and forces everything to be in landscape mode. The only way I can get the phone to not stay in a constant landscape mode is to off the auto rotate function.
It wasn't the ROM because after several downloads and flashes (thinking something may have not downloaded or installed right) it kept doing it. Trying other ROMS gave the same results. ODIN back to stock gave the same results.
Has anyone ever had to reset this or have any other suggestions on how to go about correcting this problem?
Thanks in advance
Just lay the phone down on its back and push calabrate horizontal in the gereral settings

LOL thanks but that is the problem, when I push calibrate the green circle brings the ball to the center and when it finishes the ball shoots to the right side and stays there. not sure if its a hardware or software problem but it happens no matter what I try do do. I even odined back to pure stock hoping it would reset it but no luck so far.
Just to clarify, when it's done calibrating and still lying on a flat surface, the green ball moves?

Yes, the green ring brings the ball to the center and when it's done calibrating that you get the little pop up "calibrated" the ball will shoot to the right side of the screen. Iv'e look all over the internet for a solution and downloaded some apps that monitor sensors, looks like the horizontal axis seems to almost stuck in that position. I was hoping a reset of some kind may do the trick but there seems to be no way of resetting the accelerometer on these phones. Vertical axis is working just fine according to the sensor apps I have tried..
Sounds like a hardware problem. Has the phone been dropped or jarred in some way?
Actually I dropped it a distance of about 6 inches while sitting on my desk at work. The phone landed on my desk, it slipped out of my hands while I was rebooting it. It's got that thick T-Mobile rubber cover around it so it's well protected but who knows guess stranger things have happened.
It sounds like your going to have to send it back to Samsung to get it repaired.

You are absolutely right about that, good thing for insurance and being a T-Mobile customer for 5 years. They are sending a replacement phone 100% free of charge even though I've had this phone since day one of rollout.
I just got my first gs3 5 days ago. Love it, but yesterday i noticed a dot on the screen in the lower left quadrant. I could only see it when the screen was off and under direct light. I tried cleaning it, but it was still there, i could also feel a little abrasion when i ran my finger over it. So i take it back to best buy, tell them what's up and they swap it out, no problem. The guy said it could have been either an air bubble in the screen, or the chip could have over heated causing a "blister" to raise up. "Weird cause I've only had it for a few days, and haven't even rooted it yet" So i get it, had to go to work right after so i didn't have much time to play with it. I wake up this morning and i notice that when the screen is on a black background, like the messaging app, or something similar, i can see a "darker" dot in around the same place where i had the problem on my last one, i can also see several other smaller ones around the screen. The dots are easy more noticeable when i turn the brightness up. This is the 16 gig Sprint model, is anyone else having similar issues with their phones? I'm going to go back up there tomorrow to try and swap it out again, hopefully they don't give me and flak about it.

Not every screen has this. However over time every screen will have the problem. As far as I can tell I have none. Plus the other model that I had also didn't have any dots that I could see. I know it could have also been minimal. but it is a known issue with these screens has the other poster stated. Worth returning over? I don't think so.
I could understand having this problem a year down the road, but 1 day after first turning on the phone! That sounds a little much. I think I'll try returning it one more time...maybe 3rd times a charm?

That's AMOLED for ya. If you only see one dot...you're lucky. Hope you don't get one with 5 or more. :angel:
The dots/bleed marks should NOT be more visible when you turn the brightness up, they should be less visible at higher brightness.
Take it back, get another one. Keep doing it until you're satisfied.

Also I have an ATT model. I checked a friends and I didn't see any one his as well. He also had ATT. Not that it matters much just saying.
Also you can use this app...CHange your brightness up as far as you would like to help check for the dots/ink...

Great small app. Also helps to see if you have any dead pixels!
hope this helps you out...
Cheers...
Thanks for the app recommendation. Tried it and didn't see any dead pixels or dots on any of the screens. In fact, i can't see the dots that i did before! I don't know if it's because it's brighter out versus when i was looking last night? I guess I'll keep an eye on it for the next few days and see if it gets worse. Would this problem get worse over time or is this just something that is there and will always be there? Thanks.

I would have kept the first one, if you're critical enough you can find some kind of a defect in any phone.

From what I understand it can get worse as time goes on. same with any burn ins and so on. Again this is what I understand. By the this time next year I will be replacing this device anyways in most cases unless nothing good comes out.
i wouldn't worry about it if its gone. Could it have been some type of bleed effect or something? I don't know. I'd just watch it for now. Check it so often. If you end up not minding it (If there even if an issue..) then i would keep the device. At higher brightness settings is when you can see it from my understanding. Again I could be 100% wrong. Wouldn't be the first time!

Yeah, I'm just going to keep it i think unless something drastic happens. I could only see it when it was dark and i had to look hard for it, but with these devices you want it to be flawless. Thanks for the comments and such. I'll keep an eye on it for the time being.

Has anyone notice the L button doesn't work every time you press it? I called verizon they said it's a known issue. my white n2 worked perfect. Now the grey one has that problem.. Press on the L key real fast and u will see what I mean . it doesn't register every time. I don't have to do it real fast for it not to work on mine.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
So this is a wierd situation for me. My old Thunderbolt had this exact same problem, certain keys would not register most of the time, and I'm pretty darn sure L was one of them. When I downloaded this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.batterypoweredgames.mtvistest&hl=en and tried pressing on the screen where my L key generally is, I could see what was going on. Something was wrong with the digitizer or how the software was interpreting the input.
Now this is where I got scared. You are not the first person to talk about this problem with the Note 2, and when I tried it after reading the first post a few weeks ago, I too was having the problem. It was about in the same spot as the L key. And sure enough when I opened up the touch visible app and checked that spot there was something wrong. There was like a dead spot in the shape of a circle in that area. Now I don't know what happened to it, but that was on stock unrooted. Once I unlocked and installed Jelly'Beans' the problem went away and I haven't had it since... knock on wood.
If it's software then whatever, software can be fixed easily. Hardware though.... ugh I do not want to replace this thing.
Hmmm I hope I dont have this problem, that exact thing happened on my thunderbolt also and drove me nuts it just started one day always had to use in landscape thats why I got the note 2...hopefully its just some sorta software issue

I noticed the same thing with my Thunderbolt. If I put the phone in landscape those dead spots worked just fine using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.batterypoweredgames.mtvistest&hl=en to see if the screen was registering. This lead me to believe it was a software issue, and it unfortunately was never resolved.
Thankfully though I am not on the Note 2 and am not experiencing and screen dead spots, yet (knock on wood)

Just out of curiosity...are any of you using the Otterbox Defender? I have the dysfunctional 'L' key, and I think it's because the screen protector built into the case is raised at the edge of the screen. When I take it out of the case, I never get the 'L' key problem. Oh, and also the backspace key as you've noted. LOL I'm just glad I'm not alone.
Hello, I want your help to fix my xperia go touchscreen problem. Well, Ive searched the similar problem on the forum but what I found is about "touchscreen not working" only.. was, it's very easy to text and slide trough the screens without any "not so responsive screen".. after few months my xgo became less sensitive like before, when I tried to type as fast as usual. The screen cant detect my touch.. I compared with my friend's xgo and it is easier to text on his xgo.. its because I flashed wrong rom? I flashed one roms so far (superJB and currently back on stock with phantom 1.0.9 kernel) thanks.
Xgo .100 JB with UBL.
Open your device's build.prop using any text editor and check
ro.sf.lcd_density=??
Compare its value with your friend's xperia go and edit it accordingly. After you've done with editing, restart your device.
Check screenshot in the attachment.
Note: Do not put value similar to that of screenshot. It is just for your reference.
If I helped you then press Thank you.

My Xperia Go has the exact same problem recently. It just started happening a few days ago and nothing has changed on the device (software etc). I used to be able to text VERY fast but now it sometimes takes a few pushes of the keys for the device to recognise my touch. I can't believe it is anything in the build.prop as this would have suddenly changed right? MY LCD density there is set to 160 (which is the same as default).
Any help appreciated...
EDIT - I also noticed that since my touchscreen has become un-responsive I had got battery drain issues. The last 2 nights I have gone to sleep and when I have woken up my battery is almost dead... hmmm

I get this issue too since i accidently drop it. But when i try to testing games and the phone getting heat up and now its more sensitive than before. Maybe not as sensitive as back there at GB but its better now. Almost as sensitive as when i try using JB at 1st time i think.
Oh yeah.. i even already try to open it before to check if the connector are losen or something like that with no result. And already prepare to changing my touchscreen but i think its not necesary now. Hope this help

Same problem.. My phone is not sensitive as usual.. When typing and gaming, it is really annoying.. :'(
How much is the digitizer for Xperia U?
I didn't do nothing and the phone just became not sensitive to touch.. Sliding is good but when I press 3 times to screen.. Only 2 times approx is known to touch..
Help me out ? Only way is change digitizer?
Just make sure u didnt get touchscreen issue from lag. I use custom rom and the touchscreen is feel better, but some area still hard to use because mine is defect already. U could try search on google for ur digitizer price .

So after month of owning this phone (SD version), yesterday I noticed that there was green pixel on dark backround. After a while of looking at black picture with max brightness, I noticed several small red-blue-green dots all over the screen, which weren't visible on other backrounds. I have already sent it to repair centre (free screen replacement). I just wanted to ask, is it frequent problem with RN3 or I was just unlucky? Is there any side effects of replacing the screen?
I'm using this device for about 6 months now and i haven't seen even one dead pixel in my phone till now, but I haven't noticed even one dead pixel on the screen till now...
So, I guess you were unlucky and your device had this problem...

I have rn3 sd version.
and I noticed 3-4 dead pixels on the screen
it cannot be seen on regular usage. hardly can be noticed when lcd test (dark screen full brightness)
I think many rn3 phones have same problem. many users just have not noticed yet.
it's common and expected, for the price you won't get the best panel, i also have 2 stuck pixels, one green and one red
Yeah I got one too and maybe 2-3 more...but not visible in normal usage.
Happened after like 5-6 months.
hmm, it seems that many are having stuck pixels, mine just had too many and it's free screen replacement anyway, so Thanks for replies guys.

Some of my friends have the same device and they also don't have any dead pixels...
Well, see if your replacement panel also have the same issue...
Edit: I don't think that's a kernel bug as many users including me are on Radon and none of them reported this issue...
I have a unusual red fingerprint that barely visible on the bottom part of my screen.
You can only see it on still black screens and you will have to look carefully to see it.

Creaking is actually common on RN3. Althought mine didn't (well, I was using a silicon case) and I don't think screen replacement did that, unless service center did a bad job at it.

Actually back panel is rubber glued. (The speaker and upper panel) I think when they open up phone, for screen, they removed rubber glue, so now it creeks against plastic..
