Did anybody experience this? Please help, before i return this to the store. I barely use this since i bought it because im busy, factory reset, off blue filter, checked brightness, asked my siblings also to take a look, they said they see a yellow light color on edges... 1 week old new s6 lite. First time to encounter this in samsung.. I hate it when getting into warranty because its too slow, many months before you get it back!
no pictures because you may not see it clearly..
Im on darkmode also, and low brightness only. I noticed it when i was to read my book!
Please. Anyone?
Ok thanks for ur answers. Just gave it back

Even I'm facing uneven brightness from corner in this device though not the yellowish colour.
I had exactly the same problem with my 5 month old tab. Just took it to service centre last week. They changed the screen. It took one day. Always on dark mode until I turned it off and saw the yellow edges. Like an old book. I thought only oled screens get burn in.

Well I received my nexus one about a week ago and I absolutely love everything about it...
Unfortunately I've just noticed two dead pixels on the screen. One top left and the other bottom right. Both about an inch in from the screens edge.
I've seen a lot of posts of people complaining about clicking edges and dust under their screens but I'm pretty sure this is not dust. The specks look identical to each other and are tiny in size. They are mainly visible on light/white backgrounds.
Unfortunately I live far away from any of the Google supported countries so doing any kind of exchange is going to be really difficult :-(
Anyone seen similar issues? Any suggestions?
There's a coupla apps on the market to check for dead pixels.
All they do is flash up white, black, red, green, blue so you can see what pixel is stuck. It might be worth trying one of those just to make sure they are actually dead pixels.
If they were working before, they might just be stuck pixels, and alot of toggling between colours may unstick them.

But if it was a stuck pixel then you would see it lighting up on dark backgrounds but these are only noticeable on white or bright backgrounds.
BTW I have already tried the market apparently and no joy.
Has no one else been noticing these?
I had one stuck pixel that appeared a couple days after i got my phone
but i fixed it and it came back like 5 times.
But knock on wood its been 4 weeks and it hasn't come back.
Mine was weird it would only show on the lock screen and it was very random but once i swiped to unlocked it went away so it wasn't that bad.
If i were you I would return it especially were its two pixels and software isnt fixing it.

OLED have very deep blacks so its hard to tell if its stuck on black or if it is dead
...anyhow if you cant fix it you should return it.
Man returning it is a such a mission as it was bought in Singapore and I'm not even there any more...
I suppose I could find a way to send it back there and then from there back to the US.... heh. The problem is that I only received the handset about a week ago so if these kinds of problems have been reported since the launch whaat says the replacement wont have the exact same issue? Which would then be a massive waste of time and money ;(
Thats the problem i even set up an RMA to return mine but had a gut feeling i would regret it. So i canceled my RMA and prayed the pixel would eventually not stick anymore.
I didn't want to take a chance of getting a referb phone with other issues.
I feel your pain EVERY device that I get now days that has a LCD screen ALWAYS has at least one dead pixel. But to my surprise my Nexus One is 100% fine .
i have two vibrants that i just bought recently, one of them is mine one of them is my gfs, ive used mine for about a month now, hers we just started using today and we put both phones side by side and on hers the screen doesnt seem as bright, and like menus have like some brown color to them or just not as dark, on mine they are black like solid black, mine received an update idk if thats it?
any help is appreciated
You can try to exchange her phone as I don't think it has anything to do with a software update most likely it's hardware. I bought an iPhone for myself and then after 2 days bought another iPhone for my wife and mine was far less bright and also had a yellowish tinge on the screen while hers was very bright and had a cool blue tinge. Best thing would be for your gf to exchange her phone while she can.
identical settings? (no auto adjust)
screen protector?
different roms?
i have also noticed this. In my situation, i called in and replaced my old vibrant because i complained about a lag so they sent me a new one which was cover under warranty! when i received the new one I quickly put in my spare batteries in it and turned it on. First thing i noticed was the color of the screens. my old vibrant had more of a tan/brown hue when compared to the new one. The new one had more of a blueish hue to the screen. i tried fixing the brightness but that didn't fix it. so i had to decided to go with the old brown one or new blue one. of course i chose the new blue one but i was concerned that i would have an off color screen. a couple of weeks after shipping the old one back i discovered that when you open the video player and start playing any video..press the menu button, then press settings, then color tone! dont know if this setting carries onto the rest of the phone...hope this helps!
So i recieved my Galaxy s2 the other day, as a replacement for my HTC HD2 which was in for a repair with a broken screen - apparently it was 'unecconomical' to repair - but i certainly wasnt complaining!
Awesome phone, had it for two days, rooted it fine using Odin and superoneclick - fantastic tool..
After rooting i re-flashed with stock kernel again.
All was absolutely fine, i was using my phone without problems until a few hours later (yesterday evening) when after putting it down for five minutes and picking it up again, there was a pixel wide horizontal line running across the screen.
They are not dead or stuck pixels, as they change colour with the background- they just appear extremely brightly, so stand out from the rest of the display.
No amount of adjusting has resolved this, rebooting/hard reset etc. the line remains prominently running from the right side, and slowly fading to the left.
Ive searched online but cant see any issues with screens like this, just dead pixel lines and stuck pixels.
If anyone may have an idea on whether this could be software related problem or hardware related would be great to know your thoughts.
Cheers, Alex
I would be taking it straight back . I got a couple of sgs2 handsets back in may when they were 1st released and i had numerous screen issues. i got one a few days ago an my friend got one yesterday and the screens are pretty much bang on (tiny tiny yellow tint if you go looking for it)
No lines , no dead pixels , beautifull screens even with the slight yellow tint
I hated my 1st screens so there are defo some bad ones knocking about and some that are literally 10x nicer to look at
Like i say take it back buddy
Good luck with it and let us know how you got on
Also pictures of the problem could be interesting
Yep I definitely will...
Just whether to un-root and reset flash count first or not - probs a good idea im thinking.
Aside from that i agree its a lovely display- ive heard about the yellow tint but noticed it on mine.
Will try and get a pic up before it goes back..
Cheers for the input!
As always, every samsung device I have owned except note 2 has screen issues. Im starting to hate this amoled tech. I had 3 s4's and everyone of them has this pink shade in some part of the screen. Now this note 3 has the same issue actually its worse. I think I need to get rid of this and buy a phone with lcd screen.
Anyone noticing the same issue or am I getting realy bad luck?

get your phone exchange or refunded asap!
it sound more like a defect than a feature.
LCD also has issues.
Mine had a cream tint over 2/3 of the screen, which was not to obvious until browsing certain forums, where you'd scroll a message up and it would noticeably change color.
I took mine back to the store for exchange, and despite showing them what looked obvious to my eyes, they just couldn't apparently see it... Luckily, they where kind enough to order a new one and exchange it anyway, so will see how the new one does on Tuesday.
Some people are blind to such things, my One X had the yellow spots, so sent that in, and the replacement was much better, to they point I could easily live with it.. My two nexus 7s are fine, and every other Samsung device in their store looked good enough that I'd be happy, so I feel justified in getting an exchange...
I sold mine and bought another, lost about 50$ . Newer one has yellow hue or tint in right bottom cornor in whites and grays. I deserve this I guess, I didnt learn my lesson.

The yellow hue will go away in a couple weeks, just the glue.

Hey all,
Yesterday morning woke up to my MZF's screen being all weird. Anything dark looks fine, but the white levels are very subdued and even seem to have a slight reddish tinge. And there's also these two black dots that wont go anywhere. Seem larger than just a dead pixel. This has been going on for a full day now; every once in a while it seems that the colors go back to normal, but the problems seems to always return.
Photos below show my MZF (right) next to my buddy's MZF (left). Both displays are at full brightness. Didn't purchase protection through Best Buy or Verizon, so I'm likely gonna have to deal with Motorola Customer Service. Yay.
Any one else seen this? Any ideas?
Do a factory reset and see if it calibrates itself

Yeah, I did that right after posting. No luck. Thanks tho.
Try the hardware tests from device help?

Tried those too, no luck. Have a new MZF on its way from Motorola, warranty is covering it.
I JUST sent my Moto Z Force in for nearly this same issue. I was cleaning the screen off and I had a black dot pop up and after about 3 hours of it showing up I had a bright yellow line running from the dot to the top of the screen. Warranty is covering mine as well.
I had the same problem with the color/contrast on my Moto Z Force, but without any black dots. Mine had the same blue tint/haze to the display. I did a factory reset with no luck. I am getting a warranty replacement today, but this morning the problem disappeared (6 days after the problem started). I think I'm still going to take the replacement.
I have a little different issue. Screen has 4 rows of multi colored small lines. Unreadable, yet the touch and buttons are still functioning, any ideas?

pixel dead, the solution is to change the screen.
