Hi guys,
I am kinda perfectionalist and I hate, when things are not in order as they "should" be. I received phone with about 3 dead pixels in row at RGB aura led panel - it pissss me off, but still "good", but I am worried about glowing light, it is not so bright at the leff edges of that "eye". Right part of logo is maybe brighter than the leff side - does it have all ROGs or am I just facing that issue alone? (Maybe cozbof that dead pixels?)
Thx for all replies
Could you show a picture of the problem?
Mine is bright on the bottom part and slowly dims on top

Hello to all
As the title says it's another screen defect that this phone have
I have noticed a darker area, which make almost a perfect rectangular shape upper to left of the screen and it is visible only in some circumstances
- screen brightness need to be lower that maximum (the lower it is the higher this defect is visible)
- mostly visible on grey image (for example the market startup) see other images in the links

not visible at all on black screen of course but when the screen is off and with a bright light (sunlight of a power lamp) in some right angles I can see some darker dots (looks to be some kind of liquid inside the screen) at the size of 5mm and also this rectangular shape (good eyes need here ) no picture for this because it is not visible with any camera
I wonder how came to this and is any possibilities to fix this such as those screen burners, could these help? or only a screen replacement?
PS: phone have no waranty
Thanks
Screen burns are permanent on AMOLED as far as I know. You'll either have to live with that or do a costly screen replacement.
Ah well, guess I have to live with it, not a major problem but it's looks a bit ugly sometimes.
Just read a bit more about amoled screen burn and it seems that the blue leds are the most that probably get weaker in time and causing this screen burn, and yes this is an explanation why on a blue screen this is almost not visible no mather of the screen brightness
Maybe burn all the screen with a white image, but I believe the result can be worst that this
Thanks
Hello
I'm new to android and just bought my s3 so forgive me if it's a stupid question
Whenever I watch a movie, there are two or three black spots. I feel like they are dead pixels. It doesn't show up on a white background nor on my ics inspired background but now I notice it a lot during a movie especially if it's a dark colored movie(darkness and all). Are these dead pixels? Is there a display app which I can use to display pure different colors and find out?
Thanks in advance

Spots? If what you are describing look like smears on the screen then no, I think this is an unfortunate defect with oled devices when black is viewed in really dark environments. My phone (not an s3 but uses amoled) exhibits the same problem and my PS Vita shows it very prominently.
A dead pixels is just a pixel (pretty much a dot on the screen) that is stuck in 1 color no matter what's being displayed onscreen.
There's a test screen, just dial *#0*#
However the black spots on dark background when your screen is on minimum brightness (e.g. in darkened rooms) are well-known issues plaguing AMOLED.
There are several threads around here describing them and their possible cause, and at least one developer has announced working on a screen tweak solving this and other typical AMOLED issues.
Yeah it's only noticeable on dark backgrounds with low brightness. I downloaded display tester and ran the dead pixel test and the smears were only noticeable if I looked super hard during a black background, not in blue or red or yellow nor gray. So no dead pixels right ?
Also thank you so much !

If you didn't notice any stuck dots, then your phone is good. As for the smears, pretty much everyone has them. I guess you have to be extremely lucky not to have them (that, or you just haven't noticed them yet so it doesn't bother you). The software solution pointed out above sounds interesting though. Will be watching that
About Dead/Stuck pixel on OLED Device Display
I have a S3 GT-9300 that I use daily, the other day I dropped it on a hard surface and a single shiny green stuck pixel appeared on the bottom left corner of the display, it was a bit of an eye sore really, But I'll share my simple FIX if its a related problem like mine was
I thought if the drop caused it, then a related solution may fix it, so I simple activated display and went to the home page.
then I turned the display facing my palm and held the device carefully at the top end and slapped it several times hard into the palm of my hand where the pixel problem area was. then stuck pixel went away...
I hope this works for you too :good:
So i just bought an S3 and there is a pixel on the edge of the screen that is coloured bright on low brightness and coloured black on high brightness.
I did the *#0*# test and while it was not visible on red and blue background, it was visible on green background as a black dot.
I mean if it was a dead pixel, it should always appear as a black dot instead of appearing white on low birghtness right?
It doesn't look like a dead pixel, but it might be the green subpixel that does not work properly (although this does not explain the low/high brightness stuff). I remember that I had a stucked pixel on an old lcd and I used a java program to unstuck it. After a search I found that are equivalents for android, like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.htc.chris.blackspotdetect&hl=en . Take this solution with a grain of salt, it doesn't always work and also bear in mind that the screen has a lifetime, do not overuse it.
thanks for your comment. i'll just try to be less ocd about that point on screen.
Hello, I own a i9100 and I have some burn-ins at the top of the screen that replicate some buttons of a browser or something, and some burn-ins at the bottom as well. I have read that leaving overnight an app that's constantly switching colours, with full brightness, could help a bit on that. I also read that leaving a blank screen (white image) on the same conditions (overnight, full brightness) would help as well. My question is, how true these both things are? I don't want to end with a bigger problem than the one I currently have. The burn-ins are most viewable at Blue, Red, and Black screen colors.(like if I put a background with one of those colors on it)
Never had any of these on my S2,but from my experience with the galaxy s plus,these tricks won't work.None will to be honest.It's permanent.This shows how immature amoled technology is.Learn to live with it or replace the screen if that bothers you much.
what a sign you got there...
Lucky you. Mine is not THAT noticeable if you're using it normally, but as soon as you open something with a plain color on it, the burn in shows itself on all its glory. So right now you can't tell if leaving the white image all the night or the thing switching colors will damage my screen more?
mwehehe
Well,back then when I tried every method you described above on my i9001,I didn't noticed any improvement nor any further damage.Even after running those for 10h+.So I assume it's safe.Can't say the same for the S2 though,have no problems with it.
Hey guys so I just picked up my LG V10 2 days ago, I knew there were some issues with light bleed on the upper left corner of the 2nd screen but I crossed my fingers and hoped for the best.
The first night I had the 2nd screen off, however last night I decided to give it a try since it seemed like an elegant idea to have on this phone.
In the darkness of my bedroom the light bleed from the upper left was utterly atrocious, it actually fans out and extends into the other screen to about where the notification bar is (this is with the main screen off). The light bleed is also quite bright at night, it is very visible from across the room and really destroys the user experience.
I'll update with photos this evening as I want to know if other users have a significant problem or it's something that happens on every few phones and I can exchange for a unit that hopefully has less bleeding.
I'd love your feedback on how the 2nd screen bleeding WITH MAIN SCREEN OFF is for you especially in a dark room.
Yeah mineb does exactly that..doesnt really bother me too much
If you're in a very dark or completely dark room, you're going to notice light bleed. It's unavoidable with LCD technology. Mine also bleeds a bit into the regular display. Look at the screen directly (not at an angle) and it should look a little better. Angles produce worse backlight bleed - you're going to notice when you're laying in bed and look over at the phone and see the backlight bleed being a lot worse.
The big concern is if the backlight is actually bleeding in normal day-to-day conditions. On my first phone, I noticed in the STORE that the upper left corner of the notification bar was brighter than the rest of the screen. It had backlight bleed bad up there to the point if it being visible in daylight on colored portions of the screen. Exchanged it for another phone on the spot and it looks completely fine now. In most conditions the second screen appears to be floating because your eyes are adjusted to the brighter ambient light and can't see the poorer contrast ratio of an LCD compared to an AMOLED. At night though, you will definitely see that the second screen would have been executed better if LG would implement OLED in their flagship phones.
I see a little bleed on the left edge of the second screen, when the main screen is off, but it doesn't bother me. I kind of like that the notification icon is brighter than the rest of the second screen because it helps me notice that I have a notification, especially since the phone has no notification LED (shame). The second screen is not important to me, plus I don't see the bleed when the main screen is on which is when I'm actually spending significant time on the phone.
There reason you see bleed is because the second screen has a dedicated white LED on the left edge that's separate from the main panel backlight and positioned to "inject" light from the side without being properly integrated with the panel's backlight diffuser. This is why you'll see this, to varying degrees, on every unit. When you're in a well-lit room with the main screen on, the second screen looks perfect, because that secondary LED is off when the main screen is on. Also, the second screen auto-dims based on the amount of ambient light, so you might see the bleed on the "high" mode when you first turn off the main screen, but not when it dims down to the "low" mode after a while. Maybe they'll introduce a new hardware revision that repositions the second screen edge LED or does something else to limit its bleed. We'll know in 1-2 months when the next batch of V10s hits the stores.
I replaced my V10 twice because it had yellow bleed at the BOTTOM of the screen by the navigation buttons and that annoyed me as hell, since it affects the colors of everything I do, especially watching movies. All three had second screen bleed. What was particularly interesting is that each had a different color temperature screen. My first one was reddish, the second one was blueish (like the G4), and my current one is greenish, it actually looks exactly like the Nexus 6P screen (I put them side by side to compare).
I'll agree with Nitemare3219's and siraltus' observations and comments. When the main screen is on nothing is really noticeable. When the main screen is off I have the second screen off. It's so dim I don't see the point to having it on. The second screen is a bit of a gimmick. If I had additional issues I might think of exchanging it (still have 10 days), but I don't notice any other screen issues, and my fingerprint reader works...with a case. Every LCD screen I've had has had some sort of bleed. The problem starts if it is noticeable during normal use/viewing.
Mine slightly lights up the whole right corner 1/5th down the screen, only visible in a dark room. I dont get bleed from the right like ive seen in pictures and youtube.
It's only noticeable when it's pitch black and my main screen is off, so it doesn't bother me at all. It's not noticeable any other time.
First the second screen has already become a staple of my use habits, it's no gimack. Yes bleed is there when main screen is off, no I don't like it, but don't feel it's as big an issue as some make it out to be. That's just me though, I can see it bothering some.

Same, the light bleed is noticeable in the dark, but not bothersome. It is not nearly brought enough to light up my room at all, and is very slight in the upper left corner of the second screen. For the usefulness of the second screen with my usage, it's an ok trade off for me.
If your not happy with it and your within the 20 days id return it. I did return my initial one and my second one is better with less bleed.
my bleeding is always noticeable but especially on dark rooms,
