Samsung Galaxy S Screen Problem - Galaxy S I9000 General

Hi, does anyone else has a big C like a water mark on your phones?
The app is wifi Analyzer.

that looks like a burned in
try running a pure white screen
then a pure black screen
see if you can still spot that C

That is a burn in. No doubts, you should run some app that does what Allgamer said, and if possible even with RGB colors as well.

That looks suspiciously like the shape of the coloured print on the protective sheet that a brand new galaxy s was shipped with.

Yeap it's the marked burn of the C from the protective cover... Gonna bring it back...

I have a similar circle like yours in my screen in the right-center of the screen...
I see it only when there is a grey screen or brown screen...
What is this????
I have verified that isn't the protective cover....
Can anyone help me???
Thanks!!!!

can you post some screenshot?

Could it be that the phones have been in the sun with the protective film on?
I remember AMOLED screens being sensitive to light, that light being th ereason for wear. but external sunlight MIGHT also have that effect. When it is the sun with that cover for a few weeks...
possible?

Did you used Invisible Shield? Because those who watered the phone with Invisible Shield got onwed.
I hope you didn't.

I don't why, but this is NOT screenburning.
I have seen two types screen watermark C and L. These screens are little blueish.
Maybe screen type sign, you are not alone.

Yes, have tried but with no results....
I had never used invisible shield or screen protector....

seems that you've got yourself a showmodel, it's the excact location(just checked with one that's still in the box) of the foil with the huge C in the middle, they prolly kept him several weeks in the light/sun?

Agreed.
I see three options:
1. Leave your phone in the sun for an extended period of time so that it hopefully evens out the mark. Problem is you would purposely be wearing down the phone so the mark isn't as visible.
2. Use your phone normally and over time it should go away.
3. Return your phone and get a non-defective one. If they give you a hard time (and you aren't past the 14days/30minutes) just say you'll return it and get a new one if they don't give you what you want (reps. can be pricks sometimes).

Yellowish mark Appearing on keayboards side.

Ok so I thought this was just my 1st G2 that was showing this. It seems that the rubber tabs beneath the screens are leaving behind a yellowish stain on each side of the keyboard part of the phone. Look at the '@' key now look at the grey part to the left of it and check if you see any yellow stains. Same thing on the grey part to the right of the 'enter' key. On both my 1st G2 and now my 2nd G2 I noticed this.
I tried cleaning it but it doesn't come off. I tried alcohol too and still. Scared to try anything else because I don't want the paint or color to fade.
Now idk if removing the tabs from beneath the screens is a good idea but idk why this mark is happening.
Id take a pic of it but don't have a camera to do it.
Also I don't mean to add to the list of problems of this phone as I absolutely love this phone and wouldn't trade it for anything.

its proven that this yellow mark will reduce the phones processor to 400 mhz. really.... its just a "yellowish" mark...
I actually have the same exact thing on mine. I thought it was just something random but I saw this post and I wonder otherwise.
Troll... it has nothing to do with my hands as my hands don't touch this part of the phone you idiot.

It's urine. The type of composite htc used for the g2's main body is susceptible to saturation from organic waste fluids. This is irreversible. Wash your hands more, or stop peeing on them.
That is my scientific diagnosis. Trust me, I'm a doctor.

Interesting that multiple people have the same yellow mark on the phone. I have it too but thought nothing of it. Just that it was most likely gunk from my pocket. Its just odd for a lot of people to have the same mark in the same place. I have failed at trying to clean it off a few times now. Anyone successful clean it off.
Can someone post a picture of this yellowish mark?
You guys DID peel the protective plastic layer off of the keyboard panel, right?
I thoroughly looked over my phone and cant find what you are describing. I'm guessing I dont have this problem.
I think its part of the rubber adhesive under the screen

Ok sir... I'm not clogging up anything. This is what the boards are for. I'm clearly posting up a problem I'm experiencing just like other users have. This is not useless as I am asking if anyone has successfully cleaned the marks

It is because of the rubber. But I was thinking of covering it with tape. But what good is it if I can't clean what's already there?

Yes I did first day. Same with the 2nd phone. This is happening because of the adhesive rubber on the back of the screen. Its the only thing that touched the keyboard half of the phone. The marks are left on the grey next to the @,.com,alt keys and on the right of the delete, enter, and right alt keys.
Posted on my T-mobile G(spot)2 xD
I just noticed the same thing started appearing on my phone. I've had the phone since a few days before the official launch and the yellow spots just started showing up a day or two ago.
I haven't been able to clean them off, but I agree, it looks like it might be from the adhesive from the rubber pads. Alcohol didn't work to clean them off... I am fairly certain acetone or anything stronger will eat the paint off the phone.

Just noticed this,
Here is a pic. Oh and the yellowish stains are appearing in a spot where the plastic layer did not cover...
http://tinypic.com/r/2lstg75/7
The one on the left is hard to see in this lighting, but the one on the right is clearly visible
Edit: I just tried some diluted acetone and the stains did not come out. They are really in there good.
my phone has it too. but the right side stain is much more visible the the left. i hope its not anything coming up from the inside like a chemical leak or idk. it seems to be getting progressively darker
I just realized I have yellow marks on the side of the keyboard also. I just called tmobile, and since I was still in the remorse period, I'm having them send me another one. Great.

What good is getting a new one? Its going to stain again. They are all like this and whoever says they don't have it is either because they never use the keyboard or they are in denial.
My first g2 had it and my 2nd one has it. Even the test dummy in radioshack had it.
Had anyone figured out how to clean this???

Got my Xperia Z!!! :)

Hi guys,
Just wanted to say that I got my Xperia Z today from Play Poland
It's just brilliant
Tell us more.
Kurwa No! Jest ziabiesta?
:cyclops:
Zaaaaaaaaajebista!!!
OK, Tell me what you want to know and I'll tell you.
I guess that most of the people are interested in screen quality
I have to tell you that I was terrified, when I first turned in on. It looked like the one that I saw i Sony Center. Totaly washed out colors. No blacks etc. Than I changed wallpaper to a picure with lots of black, and Tada!! Beautiful black and contrast!!!!! Sony just changed colors of the whole UI, so there is no black, only gray . Apps and wallpapers look great!
were there any memory card (micro sd ) inside the phone ??? 2,4,8,16,32??

Yes, I have seen it myself in real life and can confirm this. The screen looks much better then people expect. Plus that everybody now has their "expectations" set to low, they will be even more impressed. I mean come on, would you really think Sony would put a TERRIBLE display in their flagship? They want to capture the market, you are not going to do that with a terrible screen.
The screen is SHARP, BIG, BEAUTIFUL. Indeed, Sony has chosen a lot of gray instead of black (bottom nav bar + status bar + background in settings). That's not a washed out screen, that's just the colour Sony chose. I can understand people are confused by this, I was as well. But when I saw the screen in real life, I saw that's it's a good screen. Yes, the viewing angles are not as good as the S-LCD3/HD AMOLED screens, but it's not THAT bad as some pictures made you think.
I think that the XZ offers so much that those "not perfect" viewing angles can go to hell

+1 xda Mark. I saw the device at CES and didn't believe the guy when he said it was TN. Best looking TN I've ever seen. Looked at some photos online both on my buddys s3 and the Z, and the difference was NOT what you see in pictures.
Before anyone leaves this device because of the screen, take a look IRL first.

I think that the pre applied ones shouldn't be removed, and are quite thick and difficult to remove. So if the screen protectors in the box have normal thickness my guess is that it is to protect the screen protector from getting scratched. A scratch protector for a scatter protector
can you check whether i can use 5 pin MHL cable or 11 pin MHL cable ! would be interesting to know !!!!!!

No that its actually a shatter proof sheet supplied on all sony phones for extra protection, screen protector is apparently supposed to go on top of that

The phone comes with anti shatter film its not a screen protector and you are advised to put a standard screen protector on top of this pre applied film.

[Q] What kind of Screen Defect is this?

The only time I have seen that is with screen pressure "accidents".
Either replace the screen/digitizer yourself, or send it in for repair if it bothers you.

White phone get dirty?

As the title says, does the white band around the phone or on the back get dirty?
Does it look like it will get dirty eventually?
How does your phone look and how long have you had it?
Thanks!!
Had mine 4 weeks and still spotless. (I don't use a case either)

I'm still awaiting my phones arrival However, I have had white phones in the past and dust almost always collects around the edges of the screen protector/around the bezel of the phone and is really noticeable. I've always had a case on mine, but still. White things get dirty.

Had mine for just under four weeks with no case and it's pristine.
The white plastic has not become dirty or discoloured at all and doesn't feel as though it will.
However, it's probably too soon to tell for sure.
Exactly what I've been wondering. I have read some phones have had a coating over the white plastic to prevent the yellow tint from forming. I hope the one has it

My device is not flat, it has an appreciable twist along the longitudinal axis. I don't treated him rough (rudely). He's so "out of the box".

Well is not flat anymore, you should check your battery.
My battery seems that bloated and my device became "twisted" as it push back cover.
my honor too is not flat anymore it seem like iphone 6 problem..can be twist
My H60-l02 white is twisted too (a long time - 3-4 months). :-/
So, mine is after about a year now twisted too.
I called Huawei Germany for warranty.
Let's see what they do.
Forgot to message here:
They told me it's a write-off, so:
First Honor/Huawei phone.
Last Honor/Huawei phone.
There are just too many things wrong with it.
