Samsung Galaxy S Screen Problem

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).

i have the same problem

Nexus 4 back not sparkling?

The back of my Nexus 4 is not sparkling AT ALL. When you look in the light you can see the individual dots but there is no sparkle, they are all the same muted color hidden beneath the glass. Anyone else having this problem?
androidcentral (dot) com/another-new-wave-nexus-4s-shipping
That's exactly what it looks like, no sparkle, no nothing.
I got this today in the second wave of Nexus 4 coming in.

this thread is probably going to get locked, but it has to catch the light just right for it to "sparkle"

Why would it be locked? Because of my external links for pictures since they thought it might be spam?
Well anyways it doesn't. I've looked for a good minute in the out side light but i got nothing.
And i have to wait five minutes between posts...
God this forum has a lot of anti-spam, first the captcha to sign up and then another to post a comment and you can't link or post often.

It's only because you're a brand new member. All that will stop after awhile.
Do you think you could take pictures of what you are describing? It is a little difficult to imagine the problem without pictures.

Well the picture is showed by that thread that i provided on another site but okay I guess.
As you can see you saw the dots but they aren't different colors and don't sparkle. The second picture is in the sunlight.

I have the same "issue" as TC, it doesn't sparkle like in the videos or pictures I've seen. The effect is very weak but perhaps it does require strong light like sun rays.

That does seem rather dull imo. Have you contacted service about the matter?

It does require strong light at the right angles to "sparkle." I'm sure still having the glass protection on doesn't help either.

contacted google services and i got a replacement device and now i have a question
is the plastic that i ripped off of the charger cable and the traveler output thing going to cost me money? :/
that's the only thing I changed on the phone since I've received it and I really don't want to pay for this.

You sure this is not because you still have the factory plastic on the back?

..why would they charge you for removing the plastic?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

No, it's a good thing you posted pictures. It is definitely because you still have the factory plastic on the back. It really, really dulls the effect. I had the same disappointment when I first got my N4. I was actually going to post a topic about it but then my full body protector arrived and I peeled off the factory protector and applied the new one and now it sparkles beautifully. Peel that plastic off and then report back.

LOL he got a replacement phone anyway? you can just keep your charger, then you have 2! 2 usb cables are nice for a usb car charger or something
anyway, if your phone is flawless, you might be better off cancelling that replacement because what if your new phone has issues? You are unable to send the new phone back because then you will be charged again. Always that fear... then you'll have to deal with another RMA but this time you have a faulty phone in your hands.
also remove that plastic on the back as suggested.

This is probably the single most ridiculously stupid "issue" I have seen yet.

It should definitely look nicer than in those pics. I would be extremely unhappy.. first time I've heard of this defect.

I wasn't being serious, wanted to hop on the bandwagon. I have the sparkle but only when there's light available.z

No issues here. I have read certain aftermarket screen protectors will cause the screen to be less responsive.

I only have the screen protector that came with the phone. It's a very odd issue. I tried turning on the gloves mode feature amongst other settings with no success.

The screen "protector" that came with the phone, is not really a protector for daily use, just for the "transport" ... i replaced it with a professionell one from a company, and the touch response is now much better as before!

Well if I remember, it has already happened on the day i bought the phone but i didn't really excpecting this to be the screen problem that is really annoyed me. So i think its's not because the screen protector, rather the screen itself because it only happen in 1 spot, not the entire screen.

Guys, just update and it will be fine. Last kernel included in january firmware fixed all bugs (aod grayishness, screen flickering etc.) You can flash Luxembourg firmware if you have carrier unlocked j730.

I the most times you just need to do factory reset

Is it hardware defect or everyone having same display cut?

thanks for the response guyz its solved with new update..

Sadly no one has mentioned this anywhere except in the flipkart reviews. I read the reviews and was like what was the display cut problem. Then I saw this thread. Asus should look into this. We have to mention this in their twitter handle.

My device also have same problem, looks like the product is defective but flipkart and seller is denying replacement. Really sucks

My device also have same looks!!!

I guess we all should spam them on social media. ?
I have posted a question on Flipkart site about display cut.
