Tried searching for this defect in this forum but couldn't find similar posts. Basically my ENTIRE screen is full of small dots which have a diagonal pattern. It looks like the picture below but the dots are smaller and they are "rainbow colored". The color is similar to having a droplet of water on the screen.
Does anyone have the same problem? I know the tint problem is pretty common (since my first unit had major problems with colors) and quite a number of people commented on having the bubble problem (which this second unit also has) but what about this "dots" defect?

Seriously, Samsung's quality control just had to ruin things. I was so excited to be getting my very first Samsung and Android phone but having to put up with this after having to put up with the customer service in my country just ruins everything. Now I have to go straight to Samsung since carriers in my country only allow 1 replacement.
Do you only see it in direct sun light while tilting the phone in 45 deg angle? Well if yes then it's the digitizer and this is completely normal.

Nope, I see it looking straight at the screen. The brighter and whiter the screen the more visible it is. It's almost like it's reflecting light (just like how having a droplet of water on your screen).

Nah, did it through Photoshop. Tried getting it using my iPad's cam but couldn't capture it in the photo. The dots are way smaller than those in the pictures and there are more spaces diagonally but it spans the whole screen. Also, there are criss-cross patterns but only on the curved edges.
Maybe the glue of the lcd or the gorilla glass? Something liquid-like since it reflects light (brighter = more prominent). My first unit didn't have the same problem
It's the pointing marks built into screen to register where you press.

Hmm, but I shouldn't be able to notice it 2 feet away right? I carefully examined my first unit which had defective buttons and horrible tints but I never saw these dots.
Do you have a screen protector applied to the screen?

Nope, no screen protector. This is my 2nd unit so I'm only planning to put a screen protector when I get one with no defects / problems.
I have the exact same problem
I just got my Galaxy S 6 Edge gold from repair from Samsung for Microphone defect and while I was checking the phone to make sure everything is fixed, I noticed the same problem as yours.
Are the dots considered as defects? or it's just pointer marks which every S6 phones have?
and what did you do about the defect?

It's a defect. It's the pattern of the Gorilla Glass but it shouldn't be visible when the screen is turned on. My first unit didn't have it but had other defects.

Hey ng4g3d,
so were you able to get it replaced for that reason? if you did, did they replace the whole front glass?

Haven't had it replaced yet. I'm waiting for the newer batches to come out so I'll have it replaced come July. I'm pretty sure it'll be replaced though since my phone has tons of bubbles in addition to the Gorilla Glass pattern being visible and slight pink / green tints scattered around (which I believe got burnt in since the tints weren't noticeable during the first week).
Even tho it sounds like a defect, it still is a pretty pattern? always looks on the bright side!
I have the same problem with my verizon s6 edge I had three replacement but they all have the same problem on the screen with small dots colored pattern lines, I only start to notice
When I crank my brightness to the high and also when the screen is off most people won't find this issue in less they start to look closely to the screen , i think most s6 are affected but most people won't notice looking from 1 to 2 feet away , I try to show some friends only few noticed the issue, but if you pixl head like me it's really noticeable on high brightness
Sorry I know this is an old post, but I have the same problem on my S6 Edge. Are there any soloutions? Should I send my phone to get repaired, or ask for a replacement?

Hi, i got me a razr 3 days ago and was very happy with it.
But, as i happend to use the phone in the dark, i notised that when the screen brightnes was set to low there was ALOT off black marks under the screen. right then and there it lokked like water damage. but thees mark wherent noticable when in a light room or screen bright* set higher.
so i went back to the store and got a new one, but soon noticed the same defect in the new phone.
Anyone else have this problem?

I have had the phone for just 24 hours and already noticed this problem with the screen. I will return it tomorrow and hopefully get one with a "better screen". The spots aren't the worst but I have a line straight down the whole screen. I have a pic but to new to post it.

As faced by spooner427. I am posting this image for him on request.
Thanks circleofomega for posting the pic
Yes, I have this problem too. I returned the phone for exchange
I had the black splotches on my Razr screen as well. I took it in and Verizon replaced it. Got it home and tested it and there is no more black splotches. I did notice a little bit of the "some areas are darker than others" but for the most part it is not noticeable at all.
I had this problem on my SGS2....replaced the screen 4times...still not solved! finally getting a refund from Samsung... was considering the droid razr well... but after reading this.... *packs my bags and runs*
I did get the phone replaced and was able to find one with alot cleaner of a screen and I only looked threw 3 phones they brought out. I had a diagonal line threw the screen. Either way the phone itself is great just glad Verizon actually cares about customer.

Try switching it for a new phone. If you encounter enough models with a substantial amount of artifacts, Verizon will offer you an exchange for another phone model.

I did swap it out at Verizon. They brought out a bunch of Razrs and I hid under a coat and started them up and checked the boot screen for marks. By the 3rd phone I found one with a pretty clean screen, only had a few small spots at the bottom barely noticeable.

LOL! I stole your idea from another forum where you posted the pic your girl took of you under a jacket.
So I went into Verizon and after a bit of persistence I got the rep to let me swap out my phone. He even let me go to the back area and turned off the lights for me. I still used a jacket since the ambient lighting from the store was still interfering with visibility.
I tried the first phone he brought out and it looked pretty bad, so I asked if he could bring out another. The second phone he brought out barely had any marks on it!
Needless to say I swapped out the phones and was very happy. I will be visiting the same store soon to purchase an accessory bundle from the same rep.
BTW thanks Spooner for your previous info about the reps letting you boot up and check the phones.
Don't believe Motorola's explanation... so disappointed due to this issue. Can't find anymore info than what has already been said.
Just probably going to return the phone and get out while I'm ahead.
I called Verizon, and no one knew what I was talking about. Went to the store, and no one knew what I was talking about. Took the phone back today for the Galaxy Nexus, and I couldn't be happier. See you guys later.
Really like the N10 but this makes build quality seem a little shoddy.
It's annoying to hear the click every time its re-positioned in my hands.
Might just be a defective unit, mine doesn't do that at all.

I'd like more people chime in and let me know if it's worth the RMA or something really common with a lot of them.
If i was you I would call google mine doesn't do that either, very solid build here
Mines fine here too
This wouldn't bother me anyway tbh. I'm concerned about bad backlight bleed.
Same here, no flex.
You press on your car hood and it's going to dimple and make noise too. Are you going to RMA it too?

it's irritating simply because its noticeable every time you switch hands or re-position the N10 in your hands--something you do often while holding a 10" slab of glass that weighs over a pound for an extended period of time.
If the hood on my car made a sound every time i turned i would probably RMA it too.
I'll be honest though, i am torn on a RMA because i think a lot of people return too many items driving up the cost for everyone. I'd never return something because the screen looks uneven with a pure black image in a completely dark room because it's something i'd never notice in regular use.
If it was just flex i wouldn't give a crap but the sound however is hard to ignore when reading or browsing the web in a quiet environment.

Is not uneven, it's areas of the screen that are much brighter than others on a black screen.
You would notice it in normal usage if your planning on watching dark videos on it.
I agree, slight bleed is ok because you won't notice it at a lower brightness level in the dark.
However bad backlight bleed where a reasonably big portion of the screen is alot brighter than the rest would be very distracting whilst watching a dark film.
I have a bit a flex (well, its not flex, more like its hollow underneath) right around the 'S' area of the Nexus. But i dont care.

Why don't you call Google and ask for a replacement? Complaining on a forum is not going to get you anywhere

I have a little bit of flex around the U, but it doesn't bother me at all. To me, it feels solidly build, although the Infinity feels much more sturdy.

No flex here.

If I really push I get a slight click. As I don't push on the back of my device with force too often I'm not seeing it as a problem.
I was more concerned about dead pixels. I have none, I do have some light bleed though but since its only noticeable in the dark when I have brightness up maybe 25% its not a problem as it is only noticeable at 100% brightness
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I noticed today I have this flex in the back too. I also have some bleed in both bottom corners and a small amount at the top. None of this is really bad enough to bother me that much. I was just wondering if there could be any correlation between this flex and light bleed. Anyone that doesn't have the flex, do you have light bleed?
Mine just came in about an hour ago. The little bit of light bleed I can live with, but the back cover looks like somebody stepped on it in the middle, there is significant bowing, and associated creaking and popping.
Already processed an RMA with Google, replacement should be on the way.
But other than that, this thing rocks so far.

Bro, do the RMA. That's not normal, on mine there's a slight give when firm pressure is applied. It feels natural though, like that's what's supposed to happen when that much pressure is applied. You definitely can't feel any play or hear any clicking noises while handling it. I get that your trying to be considerate and everything but there's a limit, you paid good money for the device, don't sell yourself short.
If you can take the back off, maybe you can take a hairdryer to it and gently melt it flat. Can't say I know anyone who's tried this though, just a random thought
Im about to buy a V10 but I has heard about bleeding light on the left edge/corner of the 2nd screen. Is it happen on all the v10 or just some and I can exchange for a new one if it happen to me?
It's all of them...is only noticeable really when the screen is off in a dark room....not a deal breaker for me...this phone is awesome!
Well, its an issue on all v10s, and personally I don't mind it. It winds up looking like a gradient from the top right corner that occupies roughly 5-10% of the main screen, with no line or anything between the first screen and the second screen. I would take a pic for you, but I don't have a camera that can pick it up. What you could do is go into a store and cover the phone with like a jacket or something and look under there while its off to see if you have an issue with it.

As the others have said, it's definitely there. It all boils down to personal preferences - it's definitely there on mine and it can be a little annoying at times but I love the phone enough to overlook it. Just basically becomes what you're willing to look the other way on.
Mine has the light bleed ... but it's only noticeable in a dark room when the screen goes dark - then for the next 30 seconds the second screen stays lit and you see the light bleed. Once the 30 seconds passes, the second screen dims and the light bleed is nearly impossible to see.
3 of my associates have this phone and 2 of them do not have any light bleed at all. It doesn't seem to matter if it's an AT&T or Verizon version - some have no bleed, some do.
It shouldn't bother you. Then again, if you're anything like one of my OCD associates, it might make you insane, as he returned 2 of them till he got one that didn't have any bleed.
Mine has it too. I don't think it's a deal-breaker but you will notice it in a completely dark room.
Here's a photo showing it.

This was taken in a completely dark room with a 10 second exposure, at pretty much the worst angle for seeing the bleed.
I can see it on mine in a dark room only. Doesn't bother me one bit
I've gone through 3 devices. The first two were both from an 11/15 batch of phones, and had very noticeable light bleed, with one even having some on the upper left of the main screen as well. On these phones, you could notice it even with lights on as the icon on the left of the second screen was noticeably brighter/more vivid than the rest of the icons, which looked pale and washed out. The third phone is from a 12/15 batch, and is much better. It shows a slight bit of bleed like the picture in the post above, but none on the main screen. The light bleed it does have is really only able to be seen at night in a dark room. Otherwise you can't tell at all and that screen's blacks are just as inky black as the rest of the screen.
LoL. yea i noticed it too. reminds me of my very old CASIO watches when u press the light button to see the digital screen at night. However, not a deal breaker at all. i barely notice it every now and then

how do you know the batch of the phone?
i also notice the light when i looking direct/normal at the screen should I get replacement? i just got it today kind of sad i talk to LG about it they say should I get new phone at the store apparently is a known issue for them
Mine has it also but it is visible only in completely dark room with main screen off and second screen is bright. If both screens are on or second screen is dim (i use auto brightness so this is the case most of the time) it is not visible. It does not annoy me at all. Now i use nillkin leather quick cover case so it is not visible at all because main screen turns on automatically by opening the cover.
Hello all,
Last night I watched a show on my tablet in total darkness and noticed some weird banding which I thought was caused by the video itself but then I checked with the other apps and it was clear that it wasn't the video but the screen itself. Is my tab screen faulty? It's just over 3 weeks old for God's sake! Is anyone else experiencing the same issue or am I the only one?

This is what it looked like while watching
those look like window reflections. Make a drawing, fill the entire screen with solid black, do you still see the banding? Do you have blue light filter on? If you still see it and you don't have any filters and you're sure it's not reflections, return it.
At low Brightness with night mode on mine is a bit patchy but yours seems worse. If it bothers you I would exchange and see if you get better luck next time
mine is solid black no pathing
That looks faulty

Hi guys. Thanks for your comments. I tried disabling the blue light filter. Also, it was pitch black in the room with no reflection anywhere.
Spoke with Samsung and it's going to be replaced.

Lowest brightness yes. Blue light no. I never use that. I surely would never use with video
I watch on mine in dark, complete black the screen is, no bleed etc.
Return it.
Hmmm I'm noticing similar to mine now even without blue light filter and normal brightness
Hey guys. Just an update. It's a bit of a long story but the tl;dr version is that I have got a new Tab S6 today and guess what? The same screen-bleed issue but on a different part of the screen.

I phoned the Samsung shop team and they were extremely helpful and arranged a replacement. However, I am very disappointed with the quality control. Does anyone know how I can raise this with Samsung so that something would be done at a higher level i.e. maybe there is a faulty batch or something?
Is that right from a factory reset without installing or restoring any apps? I have to wonder at this point if it's some software, These are amoled screens, there shouldn't be any bleed, there's no backlight. While some pixels can definitely fail what you're seeing on 2 tablets seems highly unlikely not random across the screen. Only other thing I can think of is you have something putting undue pressure on parts of the screen.

No. The pictures above are of the replacement tablet. I hadn't had the chance to transfer my settings or anything so it's factory formatted. All I did was turn on night mode at night and start the dialer app as well as other Samsung apps. Even the keyboard is brighter on one side than the other. I asked the other half to look and point out anything odd and she spotted it straightaway.
The tablet was literally out of the box. Barely stayed out of the box for an hour and there was nothing else pressed against it at all.

I have to wonder at this point if it's some software, These are amoled screens, there shouldn't be any bleed, there's no backlight. While some pixels can definitely fail what you're seeing on 2 tablets seems highly unlikely not random across the screen. Only other thing I can think of is you have something putting undue pressure on parts of the screen.

It's not bleed it's just uneven tints on the screen, very common and annoying as heck.
wow I've never seen anything like that on an oled or amoled screen. I have the S2,S3, S4, note 8, note 10+ and LG Oled and never seen anything even close.
What you have with the white, doesn't surprise me as much as the black as with black the pixels should be OFF.
The mate 20 pro was plagued with green screens like that. I believe they were lg oleds

By the way it's not pure black backgrounds, more dark greys, mine is similar and I believe they will all have it to some degree, seems to be a short coming with oled..it's only noticeable when displaying certain types of greys, at very low brightness, even worse with blue light filter on
Somewhat similar to what I'm experiencing, uneven black levels from corner to corner.
I'll try and get a replacement from the retailer, they give 30 days to return items so it shouldn't be an issue hopefully.
It's not awful, but once you notice it, you always notice it.
I have also the same, verry annoying. And for that price i espect something that works.
Hello everyone,
I have a Mi 11 Lite with a Huaxing panel. I noticed there is a bluish spot (see below for screenshots) on the screen and thought it is a dead or stuck pixel. First, I tried some apps that claim to fix dead/stuck pixels, but they did not work. I am confused since, as far as I know, AMOLED panels do not cause dead pixels. What are your thoughts about that? Is it a dead/stuck pixel or just dust behind the pre-applied screen protector?
Thank you for your help!

You have stereoscopic vision, the images do not ie no depth perception.
You can see this far better than we can with 2D pics.
It could be damage to a few of the matrix drivers*.
Unless it spreads it's not a huge issue.
*there are many thousands of them in the active matrix.

Firstly, thank you for your answer. By the way, the screen did not get any physical damage. As I understand from your answer, it is a normal thing in AMOLED panels and I should not worry about that, right? I hope it does not spread.

It's a defect if it's not dust.
If new you could consider returning it.
It may be benign or a harbinger of a larger impending failure.
Likely it's just an isolated manufacturing flaw that was ignored or not spotted.
Get the app Screen Test on Playstore and run it to see what you got. It will make any defects more readily visible. Start there.

It is visible on the white, red, and green backgrounds, but not on the blue or black backgrounds.

That's a good sign.
In your second image it looks like lint. It may well be a piece of blue lint like from a microfiber cloth.

I do not want to remove the pre-applied screen protector for now in case of scratches etc. So, I am going to order a new screen protector to replace the pre-applied one. I hope it is just lint from the factory while applying the screen protector (afaik they do the process in a dust-free environment, but we will see). To me, it looks like some type of pixel issue Thank you for your help again! I will tell you the result.

Use some stereoscopic magnification on it. A point light source at different angles as well.
It may be a piece of lint under the screen.
Either way it is harmless if so.
A spot defect in the driver matrix could produce unpredictable colors variations of the spot so it impossible to tell from the screen test alone. Blown pixels are easy to spot... it's not that.
Leave the factory protector on until it wears out.
Lol, order more than one in case the first apply fails.

[Update]
I removed the screen protector but it is still there. I am probably the only Mi 11 Lite user who experiences this issue. I am so unlucky
So it is either dust under the display or definitely a dead/stuck pixel.
By the way, its visibility changes when I adjust the brightness (high brightness = low visibility / low brightness = high visibility). Maybe you can interpret this situation.
For now, I have nothing to do but hope it does not spread.

It's not just the organic leds but the active driver matrix built into the display with thousands of semiconductor junctions that drives the leds. Either the led is out of spec or it's not being supplied with enough current from its driver(s).
It may remain as is or get worse... it probably wouldn't spread.
