When i received the phone today (around 3pm uk time) after an hour playing around with it i noticed 3 dark thick lines on the bottom half of the screen (on a gray background) i thought nothing of it at first and continued to use the phone.
Only just now i thought there must be a problem so i displayed a full white image and you could really notice those 3 thick dark lines. I then changed the screen brightness to max, min then back to auto and it was gone... BUT! when the screen dims a bit just before turning off i can see those 3 thick lines again just for those few seconds before the screen turns off.. it doesnt really effect me but it annoys me that they are there.. plus there might be problems with it in the future. I'm gonna go to my local Carphone Warehouse tomorrow and see if they can replace it.
I just want to know if any one else has had this screen problem.
Thanks.
Do the lines correspond to anything that is on the screen often like the keyboard or some sort of widget you have on your home screen?
These SAMOLED screens suffer from image retention and possibly burn-in. I've noticed it on my original galaxy as well as the Nexus S. As long as the lines go away after a few seconds it should be nothing to worry about. If you notice them there always then that could be a problem... usually the easiest way to see them is on a flat gray background.

oh boy, its too soon to be having any burn in. might be another issue.
my nexus one has burn in of the status bar at the top. and i can see a burn in of my entire keyboard on a white image. after more than a year of using the phone, oh well. but the status bar burn in was there within the first month.

the lines are:
1: just above where the 4 icons are at the bottom of the screen
2: where the page numbers are (dots)
3: just below the other 4 icons (widgets)
Thing is that these lines are solid and have no breaks in them.. so i dont think its the 3 points i gave above this.
I know it's too early for burn-in but some screens (might I say... all?) come from the factory with some sort of flaw. None of them are perfect and most have flaws so imperceptible that most people wouldn't notice. Every nexus S and Galaxy I've seen had some sort of area or line or multiple lines on the screen which were a bit different color, not as bright, or something along those lines. Some are worse than others, and I noticed the flaws right after taking it out of the box brand new. (I've been through about 6 Nexus S's between me and a few friends).
It's not really the same as a traditional LCD/LED screen since there's not a big backlight. Each pixel is individually lit and some may have specifications that are just on the edge of within manufacturer limits. There's almost 400,000 pixels on the screen... the chances of all of them being created identically is slim to none.
If it bothers you I say just take it back and get an exchange, showing them the problem area on the screen. Just hope your new one will be "less flawed" =)

Yeah, The last phone i had, had problems with the camera.. i went through about 5 of them and i ended up with one that was the same as the first one i had.
Can you guys have a look at yours?
Just open up a pure white image and check.. if there are no lines wait till it dims the screen and check again... thanks.
Did you put a screen protector on it???

Also ill post the results tomorrow if any one is interested.
take a screen shot of the problem? might not show but worth a try, then post it.
if it is really faulty, you should contact the seller to replace it.
I am really sorry for you, I will personal be mad if my long waited SGS2 comes with a super amoled plus faulty screen

well i dont have a good quality camera. You might of seen it before i changed the brightness settings but now that i have its kind of faint and you can only see it when the screen dims..
Gonna go to carphone warehouse now be back later
well before i went i called up all the carphone warehouses near me and none of them have stock.
I was told i only have two options:
1: go to a carphone warehouse and exchange.
2: go to a carphone warehouse and get a refund then order it online again.
So i should get a new one by tomorrow.. or atlest on friday.
no poroblems like that with mine. Screen is freaking perfect. On a side note i liked doing this test because I love staring at the screen.
Drooooool
well.. i went to a carphone warehouse.. and they had two instock. I exchanged it.. screen is fine but.. now after i got home i can see a mark/ dig inbetween the screen and the bezel (where the gap is)
again it doesnt really effect me but god.. now that i know its there.. i notice it so much that.. i might exchange it again Y_Y
This happens to me every single time i buy a new phone >.<... trust my luck!

well well well.
Went to lakeside since the one near me closed at 7pm.
Changed the phone again and this one had the lines on the screen and a dig in the silver bezel. She gave me another phone and the screen was perfect and there are no digs on the silver bezel...
In 2 days iv had my hands on 4 different S2's lol..
Last phone i had i also had 4 of them cause of XXX problems.. thought i was gonna beat it today and have 5 XD
Geebuz wept! I'm getting mine in from the UK tomorrow. I hope for hell sake it doesn't have imperfections. The ship back to the UK would be a disaster and if that one has a dig in the bezel upon return I'd blow a valve!
FINGERS CROSSED MINE IS PERFECT
as far as i know. this is the grid pattern on the super amoled screens. however. because of the poor QA/QC of the screens, some of those grid patterns are more visible than other area of the screen.
the whole super amoled is about lines on a grid pattern. if you notice more deeply, you will see that you also have those " lines " some where else on the screen yet they are not visible as the one you noticed.
i had to go through 4 galaxy S1 to get a good one where the pattern isnt "visible " through the whole screen.
its a defective unit. mainly poor Qa/QC. if you can live with it, it wont do you any harms. or get bigger. if you cant, then change it.
or and make sure you dont have a dud phone with piss poor yellow white on high brightness or pink gray on low brightness. because thats also a defect in super amoled screens.
Hello Guys,
Pretty funny story. Few days ago i've ordered my ASUS transformer and today it has arrived.
OH well minutes after unboxed i noticed big dirty black smash inside the screen.
RIght away taken a ride of two hours to the store and replaced into brand new one.
REV B5 (Same as first one)....
Coming home I noticed from very random angles I can notice like VERY Small, slim black dots which can seen on blue/white etc.. background but not always seen...from specific random angles can be seen..
Is it normal for this screen type? Should I ask the support devision for lab service to fix/replace it? But then means I will need probably wait two weeks...
looking for your words
Thanks a lot!
It is a pattern grid like ###########? I see it faintly when my screen is smudged with hand grease or when I clean the screen and blow my breath on it.
Well besides the patter which i dont know why they did it this way lol i see some very small dots..try open blank white page...and look on the screen from front and random angles closely...see if you can find small dots...?
The faint ###### pattern is the capacitive touch sensing grid.
Those faint black dots are not supposed to be there. Check to make sure that your screen is completely clean, free of smudges. If the black dots are still apparent, then it can be either that you have dead pixels or some particles (maybe dust) trapped between the screen and the glass.
weird...its really extremely small dots...not always even seen..just some times from very specific angles...so think i will just pass it.
For safety emailed the ASUS distributor who in charge for the local warranty service to let him know i see those dots in case if in future i want support for this...
PS: TRY Some blue background and see if you able to see some sort of dots...not even black but dots...
I've thoroughly inspected my Transformer's screen several times since I got it, and I'm happy to say that I've never noticed anything bad besides a bit of light bleed on the bottom left. I'm sorry it's not the same case for you.
Well not big deal... Those dots not really seen in 99.5% of the time so really ok...
besides this dots i had some small creaks of the back plastic... but again this happens to almost every TF owner...
Anyways reported about this small dots to the warranty company of Asus in my country so they aware in case if i decide ask them fix it in future...also asked them for professional opinion about it..for case...
besides this small issues which not even seen most of the time...i am really happy with the TF rock and roll!
Yes I know there have been other posts about this but this one is a little different, or at least not one that I have seen before.
I've taken a long exposure shot of my Note II in the dark with my DSLR to show the spots on the screen when it is black. I've only noticed them with my eyes when actually trying to look for them by turning all the lights off and waiting til my eyes adjust to seeing nothing so they don't bother me at all but thought it was interesting anyway.
My galaxy s2 had that ... but my notes screen is perfect ... Blahhhhhhhhhh that sucks man it's just luck of the draw

Like I say I never notice it when actually using the phone so really not bothered by it. I prefer what I have with the really dark blacks to the LCD on my last phone which was nowhere near black.
Folks, bought my SGN2 from New Delhi and I seem to have the Black Ink mark/line on the screen. Its only visible in the dark under the certain colors, eg. Grey when you use the stock Android SMS app.
Should I get the phone checked at the service centre or is this normal as I've read that this is a Samsung AOMLED manufacturing process. There were a lot of Note & Galaxy 2 phone with it. Even the Note 2 seems to be plagued.
My S2 had that problem. I haven't noticed anything like that for my Note 2 under any lighting conditions. I've been looking by forcing gray backgrounds and using stuff like screen filter to reduce dimness. Still looks good!
Mine Note 2 has a big spot on the upper right hand side of the screen

I assume its completely normal as there are a lot of people who faced this Black spot thingy, I bought my Note 2 three days ago and yesterday I noticed a big black spot on screen, but its only visible in a completely dark environment with pitch black picture on my phone.. It doesn't affect my experience with note 2 in any way, but still we want 100% perfect screen when we pay such a huge amount. Btw I bought it from local store at Chandigarh,India and the box says made in Vietnam.
PS:- As AMOLED screens are really thin, May be some glue accumulated on the back of the screen is the reason for these spots. And it is completely normal as If it were a defect it wouldn't be on almost every screen.

i also had black dots on screen and bubbles under the glass.service center replaced the display and now the black dots relocated to different locations but bubbles are gone.
i bought from kolkata. i would suggest not to take your phone to service center as they added 15-20 scratches to back cover , 4-5 dents to metal lining on side and 3-4 scratches to new display.Samsung service center in india doesn't know how to handle cellphones.They did this to multiple people.
This is an extreme case of OCD. All amoled screens have this issue. The fact that you need to try so hard to find it is why it is consisted acceptable for what you otherwise get with an amoled screen.

Yeah, Samsung India is not up to the mark in providing customer satisfaction and as you mentioned that how they handled your device, is the reason why am just dealing with this spot issue. its still better to have those spots then these scratches and dents.
Samsung should replace the handset itself if its not more then one month old, not just the display.
Had a long vertical 'Black Line" after the 'Samsung' Logo and it went from one end to the other end. It was noticeable during the startup screen of Grand Theft Auto III and on certain colors, eg: Grey. Several other black dots were around the screen as well.
Sold it off and bought another Note2. So far it's perfect
miura, this is one of the flaws with amoled, try getting it exchanged
also, you seem to have the vertical line issue too

I had this same issue and im thinking that it might be a component that touches the screen below.
Let me ask you all a simple question, Where are your Note 2's Made? You find this information by removing the battery cover and checking on the white sticker behind your phone. Let me know, as this can suggest something.

We don't know actually what it really is, but it is considered as normal in AMOLED manufacturing criteria.
Its annoying when you see it, but it doesn't affect screen or device in any way, So, am living with it. As its only visible in dark room with pitch black or some grey shade screen.
^^^^ where is your note made in?

I've seen the discussions on screen scratches but didn't find any posts about this issue so I wanted to share.
Noticed a "bubble" or "ripple" under my glass today. There is no screen protector on my device. It's not very noticeable when the screen is on but in bright light it does stand out, especially with the screen off.
[Pic Attached] Took me awhile to get it to show up in a picture.
This is a Verizon S6 edge 64GB Black purchased at Best Buy in-store. I visited there today to exchange it but they did not have a replacement in stock but said they had no issues swapping it out and are going to call me.
Anyone else seen this?
Hello,
For the galaxy s6 black, for me i have the same issue but it's not affect the screen . On my S6 edge gold the screen is perfect ! no bubble ! For samsung it's totally normal !
I have a similar minor bubble too that is noticable only if I really hunt for it. Don't sweat it, every phone will have some minor insignificant defect. As long as it doesn't hamper your user experience or the device durability in any way, it's best yo ignore these and enjoy the phone instead. Speaking out of experience of having over half a dozen Samsung phones
I've returned my phone because of a bubble. There was One little bubble on the black area just above the menu button. It was a minor issue, but I couldn't ignore it, I knew it was there. You say don't sweat it, but I want my €850 phone to be perfect. Even if that means sending my phone back for One lousy bubble that isn't even visible if you don't pay attention to it.
One annoying bubble
Well, I am sad to say this but I'm glad I'm not the only one with this problem. I noticed it right as I was taking my phone out of the dust wrap. I didn't even bother to turn the phone on, it is going back to sprint.
Just frustrated now because I know I'm planning to exchange but I can't fight the urge to customize... I don't know what Smart Switch will actually move over.
Wondering how long it will take for them to get replacement stock.

I noticed a ridge right down the middle of the screen when I was surfing websites with the Edge phone on its landscape side.
The ridge looked exactly like the the rectangle shape if you look at the IFixIt teardown for the S6 Edge.
Found more multiple bubbles under sunlight.
Took the phone into Samsung store and the person told me that a few people have complained about this issue, and that its not uncommon.
I checked their display models and they also had the same issue, although the bubbles and ridges were much worse on the phone I owned.
I ended up returning the phone and now may get a regular S6 unless they fix this issue.

Compared to yours, mine is way milder. In fact it takes me about 5 mins to find at, at the right angle, even though I know exactly where to look for it. It's nearly impossible to capture on camera.
So I take back my words and agree that you should get yours replaced if it's so noticeable!
I had the same issue on my first S6 edge. It never really effected the device but I could see it when the device the screen was off, and I hated it. I called Tmobile and they sent me a new device that is flawless, I'm very happy with it my phone now. I think its probably something to do with the flexible displays.
My first edge had a large ridge/bubble up the center of the screen. My new one has a very small bubble at the top. I'm not worried about it.

I had a scratched screen and got it changed.
My new screen has no scratches. If I look at it at an angle in full-on direct sunlight, I can see bumps under the glass in the screen itself. I was blinded for 10 minutes after it though, because it was under extremely bright direct sunlight. Nothing you would notice under regular use.

They must of had some crack head worker's on the production line for this phone that is going to end up costing them a bunch of money!
I have it too in India. Sad. Though didnt notice after noticing it for the first time. Hardly visible in daily usage.
This is supposedly a known issue. My wife has a black 64GB edge and it had the bubble issue. We returned it to.ATT and they issued us one with a line of ripples in it. We were told to contact our local Samsung rep as they would not open another box. My white 64GB Edge is flawless.
My 32GB black edge from AT&T had a bubble. Only noticed it because I was looking for those scracthes, and I had plenty of them! I would have kept it since the bubble did not bother me as much as the fine scratches.
My 64GB Gold is pretty flawless from what I can tell. Though I am not looking too hard because I am realizing all these devices might have a tiny imperfection when under close examinatoin
No bubbles for me.

Hello guys, I have GALAXY S6 Edge (SM-G925F) 32 GB from Sweden, And i also have a bubble under the glass, I talked with my operator and they said that they would need to take it into repair... what about you guys? did u get it replaced or what? cause i barely used this device 2 weeks feels a bit lame to send it into repair, the device itself ain't cheap to buy here it does cost around 960 euro...
The first unit I got had horrible screen tints. It was pretty much a downward gradient of pink, green, normal, green and pink. It was so bad that trying to read stuff downwards was literally hurting my head. you start from the top and notice the background of the text you're reading keep changing. The first unit also had a volume up button which was defective (I couldn't hear it clicking and when I don't click it at the very middle of the button it doesn't register the click).
Now to my second unit which I got this afternoon. Checked the buttons, perfect. No scratches. Was pretty happy until I got home and updated Android. The moment I saw the screen I was like... "WTF is that". There was literally small dots all over the screen. Diagonal dots which looks the same way a drop of water would look like on your screen (rainbow-ish).
Here's the pattern of the dots. Imagine it smaller and having rainbow-ish colors. (I suck at photoshop and I couldn't capture the problem on a camera.)
Went to a well lit room and checked it out. Yup, wasn't imagining it. Turned of the screen and I could still see the dots. The bad thing was that at closer inspection... TADAAA! A bubble at the top left of the screen.
Here I thought it would be impossible for me to be as unlucky as the people who got 4 replacements units with defects. Bad thing is that my carrier only allows 1 replacement. I'll have to go straight to Samsung and have them replace the unit.
After all the good reviews from almost everyone, this is extremely disappointing. First Samsung phone and their quality control just had to ruin things. This will probably be the last.
How have people fared with returning their Verizon versions? Mine has the lines of bubbles on it and it's a 64GB/Sapphire Black one from Verizon. My wife's has the same thing and hers is 64GB/White one from Best Buy. They only be seen in direct sunlight outside, I figured it was common since we both have them.
I think i have one. Has any one had a replacement from Samsung?
I'm on my 4th phone, and this one is by far the worst. I busted out my Galaxy S4 to compare, and it's night and day difference. The S4 (also super amoled) is completely uniform color temp, and has almost zero color shift when you tilt the phone. Every 6P I've had has some type of pink to blue color gradient, and shifts to blue when I tilt it just a tiny bit forward (like everytime I'm reaching for the notification tray). I'm starting to think people with "zero issues" are either smoking the hype pipe, or having a completely different experience. All 4 of my phones are 64GB Graphite, with build dates of 10/25 or 10/27. It seemed there were a disproportionate number of 64GB Graphites reporting these issues. I'm thinking I keep getting phones from the same crappy batch(es). I'm wondering if there is any correlation between the color/size variants and these defects.
I'm considering returning the phone for good and either reordering in a month or two, or getting a 5x to hold me over until next years Nexus. I got Nexus Protect and the whole shebang with the 6P because I was planning on keeping it 2+ years.
2x bad 64gb graphites for me. 3rd one seems to be better, but not perfect. I'm not sure if I'll RMA it or not. Like you said it seems like every screen has issues and it's just a matter of how bad it is. The 3rd one isn't too bad at least.

Frost 64GB and same as you, no defects but I need to check if I got a random reboot while asleep as it asked me for the secure boot password when I unlocked it this morning. Strangely, once I did this, the phone appeared to have been exactly where I'd left it, instead of going through the usual boot up process of loading home screens, widgets etc.
I do wish to clarify that I do find this device to shift colors ever so slightly when not looking straight on. It is nothing major and I put it down to Google/Huawei not sourcing a good panel. It is the obvious shift expected from lower end panels due to changes in viewing angles. I do not classify that as a defect. I will post pictures of this in another thread in General.
At the most extreme near 180 angle, I can see some green rainbow effect. I don't know if this is due to my cheap screen protector or it has something to do with the Gorilla Glass treatment on the panel. It really is a non issue for me. I NEVER noticed ANY of this until I came along the forums and read people complaining about defects, making me go LOOK for them on mine. This doesn't mean others aren't suffering from defects.

Mine had the freeze and reboot issues. Did it 7 times in the span of 5 days. Put it on safe mode and still rebooted. Factory reset the device and clean install of apps and rebooted once. After that one random freeze, the device hasn't had one in 48 hrs and counting but still rma'd for a new device to make myself feel more at ease knowing that there is no internal hardware issues.

Not had any reboots at all but my 3 phones had increasingly worse displays. Alu 64gb, manufacturrd 18/10, 28/10,28/10. The original 18/10 was the best of them all but still not good with pink hue on the left side of the screen.

I also have the color shifting, but this is probably caused by the tempered glass screen protector. anyway, I always look a the device with an angle of 90 degree.
Thanks mods for cleaning up the hate speech. It amazes me people think we should be grateful and accept any crap Google ships. The way QA works, it's not an issue unless the customers make it an issue. If Google can save money and use grade B panels, and their customers don't seem to mind, then next year they might use grade C panels.
This is what my 6P looks like on the google homepage at normal brightness levels: https://goo.gl/photos/z77YPDta247Jh3Zt5
Last I checked, there is no gradient on the google homepage that goes from pink to green. And if you're curious, here is what that looks like next to a Nexus 5X: https://goo.gl/photos/3huN7dPbeBKqrodf7
Every one of my 6Ps has a color gradient when looking directly at the screen. That's not taking into account the crazy rainbow effect when you tilt the display just a few degrees any direction. I had multiple Galaxy S4s, which also have a samsung amoled screen, and they are all completely uniform and have close to zero color shift at normal viewing angles.
So to everyone that thinks we are just picky @#[email protected], in all my years and hundreds of consumer electronic devices I've owned, I've only ever RMAed two other devices: a plasma TV that buzzed like a bumblebee, and an og PSP that had dead pixels and completely outrageous back light bleed.
