[Q] Black Blobs under Screen

I just got my Galaxy s2 and i've noticed some odd black blogs on the screen. They are only visiable in lower lighting while on darker screens. They arent dead pixels, its like... on the inside of your windshield on your car, if you wipe a little spot it looks like the glass is kind of smokey and then super clear where you wiped, thats what this looks like but smaller. So there are all these black spots under the glass on my phone.
i did read an article on suction cup prints, light spots, finger prints and so on on the inside of these displays..
i've already contacted support on it and they need me to send back this one and then they will send out my new one since im still in my 14 day remorse period.
Just wanted to know if anyone else has noticed/had this problem?

Yes, I just spoke to Tmobile and they said I could exchange in store since I'm within remorse period.
I'm going tomorrow

I had the same issue on my first GS2. I returned it and got a 2nd GS2 with a perfect screen with no vertical lines or black blobs issue. Good luck!

Looking closely at mine in a very dark room while starting a youtube, I noticed it. Didn't think I had it but I guess I do. I notice it for a split second when the video is about to start. Another way I saw it was there is a bug with the status bar brightness control. Sometimes the screen goes dark when trying to lower brightness. When that happens, you will see the blobs on the screen. It has to be real dark too. I did it under the covers at night. Really gotta look close. I had blobs or black and just lines everywhere.

T989 Screen issues.
I upgraded to the T989 Galaxy S II and found the same issue on it. You will notice that the backlight isn't right. It's brighter than it should be - gives a fuzzy glow. There are also black blotches on the screen...all over it actually. Enough to annoy you when you are trying to watch a movie in the dark. I returned that one thinking ok maybe it's just that one. My second one...SAME ISSUE. Even worse this time...there were verticle lines running top to bottom. Quite visible lines.
On the first return, the Tmobile reps compared my T989 with my i9100 while viewing a blank black screen (can be produced by taking a photo with your phone against your jeans or shirt then viewing it in full screen). They confirmed the issue to be true.
On the second return, other Tmobile reps also compared the T989 with my i9100 and confirmed the issue as well. One rep had a T989 and hers also had the issue. I then checked the store display model. Same issue as well.
If this is something you can live with, then just keep it. It doesn't seem to happen clearly if you turn your brightness above max or don't watch movies or use the phone in the dark.
There is a significant color difference between the T989 and i9100. The color of the message bar was compared between the two. The i9100 showed a true blue while the T989 had a faded/greenish blue tint to it. The difference is noticable in any brightness. Keep in mind that both phones have SUPER AMOLED PLUS screens.
I'm assuming all the T989s have this issue due to the manufacturer having messed something up during production.
If you would like to contact me for more information regarding my experience with this issue, please email me at : [email protected]ase do not ask me to run any test on the T989 for I have since returned it to the store and will never buy another T989. I'm sticking with my original i9100 Galaxy S II.

I had the black blobs on my first device.. Returned it and my second device is PERFECT. Beautiful screen, no blobs, couldn't be happier. Love this phone! Best Android device I have ever owned.. And I'm a very picky person.

What is the date on the box of your 2nd device? I've got two phones 9/28 and 9/29 and both have blotches and vertical lines like in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18676273 . The 9/28 is worse. I've heard that 10/1 and beyond devices have fixed this manufacturing defect. Can you please confirm?

This seems to be a common issue with Samsung's amoled screens. I've owned two Vibrants, a Captivate and now the Tmobile GSII and all of them have displayed this issue. If you get one without the blobs then you really got lucky.

I just love this screen

I have to say the Sprint Galaxy SII has one of the best screens I have ever seen on a smartphone, especially when used outside. Most phones outside are near impossible to see in the daytime, but the Galaxy SII is actually usable and very sharp. And that is with the auto brightness off, keeping it at like 1/3rd it still easy to see. But I am talking mid day in Winter, not high noon on a July clear sunny day, all phones suck with that light.
Had the EVO 4G before this, and it is night and day a major leap forward in screen technology, even my Brother who loves his iPhone4, says he is very impressed with the vibrant colors, and deep blacks, and how clear the Galaxy SII looks, he admitted it is better than his "retina" display. My other Brother still has the EVO 4G, and when put next to each other on the desk, the phones don't seem like only a year apart in tech, they look like they 5 yrs different almost. The EVO 4G looks extremely dated next to the Epic 4G Touch.

I wish the resolution was higher, at least qhd 960 x 540. text on webpages at fully zoomed out is unreadable. also, at off angle (30 degrees off center), there's a progressively bluer tinge to whites and other lighter colors where as a comparison, dead center, there is a noticeably warmer color of white. dunno if anyone noticed but at the lowest brightness with screen filter app, there's a hatch pattern to the whites & greys (only noticed because i use the phone at night with the lights off).
besides that, the display is awesome.

I think you have a defective display dude, mine is perfect and trust me I'm picky as ****. Returned my first one cause it had some vertical gradient gray lines on darker backgrounds, exactly like you described, you could see them the best on low backlight. Also had some blue tinting going on whites as well. The replacement I got is beautiful.

The screen resolution can be forgiven for all the other positives.
Pretty much everyone I know has commented on the screen and admitted that it's better than their own. Two iphone users that I know drool over it and could give a crap about retina display compared to super amoled + I even pointed out how it's more pixelated than retina display, and they would take the trade off.
Compared it to a coworkers droid razr, and while the razr's screen has a better resolution, it's behind in all other aspects. The sgsii screen just looks so much more vibrant.

super amoled is sexy indeed.
i love this screen, the thick glass gives it depth too. beautiful

Im coming from an EVO 4G, and I must admit, this screen is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. Especially the blacks.

sick of people and this resolution crap, I had the qHD screen on the Evo3D and i dont miss it one bit compared to this thing!! and trust me im picky as hell also

The one big downside.... Whites

thanks for the suggestion, I will go check it out at the sprint store to see if other units have the same issue. just to clarify, your current phone doesn't get a blue tint to the whites as your tilt the phone?

My unit also has a very noticeable blue-to-yellowish hue to it (noticeable on whites especially) but I didn't think anything of it until now.
Hold it at one angle, pure white.
Hold it -+5 degrees, blue tint.
Hold it -+5 degrees the other direction, slightly yellow.
It doesn't really bother me that much seeing as the theme-ing I've done relies heavily on the use of blacks (beautiful, almost-zero power-consuming blacks).

One X's screen compared with SGNote and HD2

I'm no professional photographer or reviewr, I just asked a friend his D-SLR Olympus. Don't take this photos as an absolute truth.
Galaxy Note is on ICS Stunner 5.0 (screen mode standard + UI). HD2 on tytung CM9 v1.5. One X on latest stock OTA 1.28...
I find One X yellower on photos than in "real life", though I recognize that, at least, my unit has a yellowish tone. I find GNote (and Amoled screens) more stressfull to the eyes than other two, it's too vibrant, though it isn't noticeable on photos. GNote has some issues with blacks (blocks on images and movies).
First pictures are also useful those keen to e-reading, since they compare text displayed by Nook Touch, Samsung Galaxy Note, HTC One X and HTC HD2.

mine also is yellowish tint rather than my old sensation.. got my friends envious with the HOX.. they got SGS2 and note.. the screen of HOX blow them away and with the cam..

The HOX screen is fantastic - had to wait a while for a big non-pentile, high pixel density screen, but it was worth the wait!
Note could have been great if it was not pentile. Wonder if the GS3 screen will match or beat the HOX screen?

Your specific One X appears yellower than most. I had two side-by-side and one was a little less yellow than yours and the other was genuinely cool. Even with that, the cool one is still warmer than the whites on my G-Tab 10.1's IPS display. Samsung just loves to amplify colors regardless of the technology used. Seeing flesh tones that look like flesh on the One X is a refreshing change from my i9100. The display on the One X (at least mine) is the best I've seen on a (non-Apple) portable device. Second would probably be a tie between LG's S-IPS and SAMOLED+. I'm anxious to see SAMOLED+ HD when it comes out on the SGS3.
Here are some pics of mine (the cool one) taken with a Lumix FX500 using LCD Tester...

That HOX screen is definatelly too yellow. Out of theose three mobile phones seems that GN has the most neutral greys, hence the most accurate color reproduction.
I'm just wondering why is HOX so far off to the yellow, and some are nicely white. Are they using different screen hardware? It's a really weird problem. Ih could be corrected via software, but I don't know if android OS supports screen color profiles.

Cameras use the brightest spot on the picture as their white point in auto settings most of the time so you should try to set the white balance on the DSLR first. Then set the brightness value of the 2 brightest phone screens until they match the 3rd one (~ white level): by doing that you can compare the contast (~ black level) and color reproduction with less error.

Thanks for the tip and I'm going to try it, but, unfortunately, I come more and more to realise that I really have a yellow-ish screen.
For instance, One X tested by sweedroid has normal whites: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=YzFbVvscrEo#!

As I said, setting white balance is important because it determinates what is the white reference. In your video, the Xperia S screen looks blue-ish. If the white balance was set from the Xperia screen, the One X screen would look yellow-ish.
And your impression depends also on your monitor ability to render color correctly .

My first HOX looked a little like that, but not that heavily yellowish. My current HOX tho shows a really good white and way more contrast. Tho its still a little warmer than previous devices I owned, its much more enjoyable to look at.
Also: Like on your photos, the colors not only seem yellowish, but also washed out. Same was with my previous device.
There was a faulty batch with faulty screens. You rly should consider taking that device back for a new one, since its a hardware fault.

I don't think the pics posted by op shows the correct comparison because I have an iPhone 4s and my one x is brighter and equally white while the one x shown in the op is strangely yellow and have owned galaxy nexus and galaxy s2 to know that screens of amoled can never compare to brightness of LCD

My hox display isn't yellow in the slightest. Looks much better than my Galaxy Nexus.

The more I look at my device I cant work out if it has a yellowish tinge or is just pure white. And I have no other device to test it against. Should never have read this thread lol

There seems to be two types of screen in HOX.
I got my first two phones yellow tinted like the one in first post. Have returned both and my third device is perfect. No yellow tint. Pure awesome white for whites. I'm very happy now. Current device is black taiwan made HT24 Batch.

The first one of mine had more visible yellow spots on top of screen. Other than that the screen had yellow tint in general. They replaced for yellow spots.
Second device also had yellow tint and i was thinking for a reason. Fortunately it had a very minor scratch 1-2mm inside of the screen. Since i informed them the same day and the scratch was not outside, they replaced again. FYI, its not easy to convince service center for replacement here in Dubai and i had to speak a lot

[Poll] Yellow spots - lets make it clear!

I know there has been some "yellow spots" threads but I wanna know how many people here have those problems and how many of them have returned the device / or the spots went away.
I will make a poll where you can choose between options so please, if you can answer we can get more detailed info about this issue.

Just got mines yesterday and it has yellow spots, giving it a couple days though to see if there is any change
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

My first one had yellow spots in the bottom. Had it for 3 weeks and it got slightly worse (more visible). Returned and got a new phone, no yellow spots on this one.

Just swapped out my third HT23 Gray today, this makes #4. First was very bad flicker, 2nd and 3rd both had yellow spots that I didn't see until I had used the phone for awhile. Hope this one is better, because I'm going back to Vancouver end of the week and there's no Carphone Warehouses there.

I think after 2days of use my yellow spots started to fade. I can name some thoughts why this could happen:
1. I got used to it (although I would hardly say that because im rly annoyed by it and my eyes are "on" the spots all the time
2. my device is not heating up that much anymore (or its just because its colder outside)
3. Yellow spots are actually fading
im giving it some final days until i send it back for new hox
what do u guys think about it?

My brothers One X had the yellow spots on the left side of the screen and when he pressed on them they expanded. He returned and replaced the handset. The spots weren't on the new device.

my new 3rd replacment one x has spot at bottom right of screen its really annoying as your eye is drawn to it right away , this is 3rd device with this and screen flicker problems , enough is enough for me , jumping ship and trying the sg3

I don't have any yellow spots or flickering or whatnot...kinda feel left out

I'm at my first HOX and i have no problems with it,i hope i won't have problems in the future..

I saw the yellow spots on mine when the phone got really hot charging, but after it cooled down it disappeared, i haven't seen them reappear.

Mines are visible again when phone gets warm again but I noticed that it is not getting as hot as before (45degrees on 1st day, only max 39degrees after 2days of use) :b

My first handset was free of yellow spots (but had a host of other build defects), my second handset had a large yellow spot top centre of screen which went over the course of 2 days.

My first One X made in china had a yellow spot on the top right corner of the screen at times it's hardly visible. My 2nd One X has no faults at all (made in Taiwan).

The yellow spots are from the screen flex issue, my One X flexes badly on the edges the yellow spot fades but if I press in the screen edges again the spot comes back. I think its the LCD doesn't like being squashed.
I bet my bottom dollar you guys have squeezed your phones in your jeans pockets and its slightly crushed the LCD slightly that's why you suddenly notice the yellow spots, and why they fade over time, exact same thing is happening to me.
I will try and post a video demonstrating what's happening.

My first, second and third devices all had the yellow spot issue (among others) and at that point I decided enough is enough and got my money back. Well done to all of you who haven't had any issues, it's like you've won the lottery, I guess I've just had some bad luck.

It is not the same issue, mine needs to get hot so i can see yellow spots. After I put my HOX down and let it cool, those spots almost completly disappear. It's not because I have squeezed it because the first time I have noticed yellow spots my device was 2hours old. It wasn't in the pocket because I just admired and played with it and after it got hot those yellow spots appeared

Is the screenshot in post #13 meant to show the yellow spots? I cant see anything in the picture...

Does your Note 8 have backlight bleeding?

I suspected that my Note 8 had some backlight bleeding and I just confirmed it using the "Backlight Bleed Test" app from the Play Store.
For those who want to test their own units, simply download and run that app. It will display a black background and also boost the brightness level to 100%. If you do this in a dark room then you may see the white backlight of your tablet shining through some of the edges or corners of your unit. If you do see this, then your tablet has backlight bleed.
When I tested my Note 8, I found some bleeding on two corners and also a faint glow down the left side of my screen (I tried taking a picture of it but couldn't get the lighting right). In my case the backlight bleed is not too severe, but it bothers me to know that it's there in the first place. I'm wondering if all our units have this issue, or if some are better than others...
So...does your Note 8 have any backlight bleed? If so, how bad is it?

--

I'll test this when I get my unit....

Just tested mine , the bleeding was negligible , very slightly on the bottom and left side.Hope that helps.

That sounds just like what I have on mine, good to know. Thanks for your report, if others all have the same experience than at least we know the frequency and extent of the issue. Curious to see if others end up with the same results. XDA, please keep those reports coming

__

Just wanted to put my two cents in. I have a HTC amaze and the backlight bleed on that device is horrible. I have not tested mine, but I can tell you that I have not noticed any. So that means there is either very negligible or no backlight bleed on mine. In any case, I don't think it's anything to worry/complain about.

I tested another unit at Best Buy and it was slightly worse then mine. It looks like almost all units have some backlight bleeding, although nothing too bad when compared with other devices. Going to keep mine because I only notice it in extreme conditions (i.e. high brightness setting, dark background, dark room), and even then the effect is minimal. Thanks for the reports xda. Feel free to send in more reports if you have different test results with your Note 8.0.

I think that is the right play. This sounds like the kind of thing that will only bother you, if you go looking for it. Unless the bleed is excessive (which its not). I usually have my brightness at 40 or 50% in a bright room, and turn it down much lower than that in a dark room. I can maybe notice some slight bleed on the boot screen, but never noticed it any other time. So I'm going to do myself a favor, and not even go looking for a problem (by running the suggested app).

On my unit the bleed is not noticeable on auto brightness - which in low light it's ok for reading but too dim for watching pictures well. Becomes visible, but still not overly distracting, in low light on a black background when brightness is raised to a comfortable level for picture viewing. It's obvious with the combination of low light, black background, max brightness, as seen in the picture.

That's the same pattern as me, but a little more noticeable on yours. On my unit I can't see the bleeding on auto-brightness, and I only notice it in the lower-left corner and a bit at the bottom when it's a darker background/image and the brightness is turned up over 50%. After nearly two weeks of use it's fine for me, although I did try other units that had more noticeable bleed in different patterns that I would not have kept.

Got mine today and have some light bleed on bottom left corner and on the top side center. I wish it wasn't there, but it's not noticeable in normal usage. I have zero dead pixels, so I will just keep this one rather than try the exchange lottery.

I checked about 5 pieces of Note 8.0 today and all had some bleeding - some less than others. So I think this is an issue with all Note 8.0's. Some I tested before (and one today) also suffered from stuck pixel's... Anyway, I was able to find my self one without stuck pixels and not too bad bleeding

No I don't have any

I have light bleed on the left side. I dont see it in normal use but with dark videos it shows pretty badly. It's not a deal breaker but it's a bit disapointing. Guess I'll have to try to avoid thinking about it.

That was just a screenshot and it didn't show it well
The picture from the phone over exaggerates it, but it is only noticeable with a dark background, on high brightness in a dark room

LEDs show through top edge above forward facing camera
A real problem is what my son has with his phone. This is being treated by Verizon as an actual defect.
Essentially we can see green LED's shinning through the top edge of the screen just above the forward facing camera.
please inspect your phone, we are getting this one replace on Thursday when they come out in stores officially.
