[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.

Galaxy Nexus Screen - What's Normal, What's Not. (Photos!)

Got the Nexus today and having no experience with the AMOLED screens (iPhones and EVO before) I'm not sure what is considered normal and what is defective. I know there are plenty of threads about this, but very few examples.
Whites (Brightness 0-100%)

Viewing Angle - UPDATE: My new Nexus has much less tint when viewed at an angle. *Colors adjusted to match as close as possible in Adobe Lightroom - and they are very close.
Viewing Angle - At extreme angles the screen with produce an iridescent effect.

If other people want to add their own pictures for analysis I'll try and add them to the first post so people new to the AMOLED world can feel better about theirs/exchange for a new one.

I'm seeing the same thing with the whites. They almost feel like they have a yellow hue to them.

normal with a pentile display same thing happened with the nexus s the rgb settings arent exactly correct

Aye completely normal. It's what a high-definition Pentile screen looks like.

Well, that answers that then.
Thanks guys.

Is this really supposed to be normal? I'm not convinced yet.

I came from a SGS2 and I can say the banding/lines/grey dots are much worse. The S2 seemed more glossy and colours seemed richer than the matt styled newspaper type of screen that the nexus has. I am quite annoyed as this was not mentioned in any of then reviews.

very useful post, thanks OP. i just picked up the gn two days ago, and the screen is bothering me as well. i havent done as rigorous testing as the OP, but i definitely notice similar banding at lower brightnesses. from what it sounds like, it is normal.
i came from a nexus s 4g and gs2, i've never noticed this problem with AMOLEDs in the past. very disappointing so far.

that's because the sgs2 does not use pentile, it uses full rgb, at the cost of a considerably lower resolution.

Updated post to include an up close look at the PenTile display pixels. Appears the same as all the others FWIW.

nice thread, i think you should change the title and have a mod to sticky it, this helps people not starting useless threads about their display showing tint of yellow/blue/grey etc.

I think the sticky is a good idea as well. Not sure what i would need to change in the title though.
Who knows a mod? LOL

I wish I had seen this thread sooner. It almost seems like no one else is complaining about this issue. I'm afraid to turn in my GNex for replacement because I'm afraid the replacement will be much worse than this.

For some reasons, the AMOLED on Samsung phones (GS, GSII, etc.) are not that great with the stock settings Samsung pre-set.
Just wait until supercurio (the guy behind voodoo project) works his voodoo magic on the GN's AMOLED.
You'll be amazed.

For what it's worth I actually took mine back for a replacement since I had what looked almost like a fingerprint under the glass - and my replacement is somewhat better.
The blue hue when seen at an angle is a little less blue and the "linen" effect is a little more subdued as well. It's definitely still there though but I think it's worth it.
Oh why didn't they just make it standard RGB like the Galaxy S II?

i've returned my galaxy nexus three time to the shop, and been through 5 units in the shop, problems were bright pixels, scratched screen inside and outside, random movement of the screen (like someone has been touching the screen continuously), in all cases the screen looked ok, just like the photos shown in first post, except for one that had a tint of purple/pink along the top of the screen(can only be seen in grey settings and dark rooms).
about the RGB, i dont think they have the technology to make super HD amoled display with RGB at low cost yet, but thats by guess.

I went to my local Verizon store, and all of the display models looked like this. A sales person let me compare to his phone, and his looked like this also.
Seems like this is just the new standard I guess, or maybe some of us have sensitive eyes.

It's one of those things that once you see it you can't unsee it and it will always bother you. I had the rezound before my nexus and the capacitive buttons all leaked light onto the screens. I had to point out this fact to the sales guy cause he didnt see it. Once he did he checked all of the display models and they all had the same problem.
That being said, all phones now a days seem to have some "problem" with them and sadly you need to pick the problems that seem to bother you the least.

As excited as I was for this phone, the screen alone made me return it. It's awful. It was sad comping it to my Palm Pre Plus of all instantly being amazed at how much better that screen looked compared to the Galaxy Nexus. I was never expecting to see a grainy screen full of banding.
It's also annoying no review pointed this out. I've always been annoyed at how vague most phone reviews are and the fact so many reviews just seem like they really aren't tech savvy because issues like this should be pointed out. The fact that I've read numerous reviews say the screen is absolutely gorgeous really makes me wonder if these reviewers are scared to be critical in fear of losing review units. Reviews should be critical and be picky about specifics so we don't have to discover these things after we purchase the phone.

I'm really not that impressed with the screen overall. Every unit I have seen (9) has had some issue with color consistency across the screen, or banding that never goes away at any brightness (let alone the linen effect). The screen on my fascinate (galaxy s) is downright amazing, with whites as bright as an iPhone 4 and great vibrancy. The galaxy nexus screen (every one I have seen) is washed out and yellow in comparison, almost like it has a disgusting tan film covering the screen). By itself it looks pretty good, but side by side with any other device (IPS or my galaxy s's pentile amoled) it looks like complete crap. I really don't know how Samsung screwed this up so badly and can only hope the color temperature can be changed via software to get rid of the disgusting yellow tint.

Image burn on lovely Epic 4g Touch screen...

So after reading that the reason that the super amoled screen was used in the GS3 was for "longevity".. I read somewhere in the comments that the SAMOLED+ screens suffer from some image burn... but wait... my phone has one of those....
Then I recalled that over the past few days I noticed that the top of the screen of my phone has been "shaded" a bit... so i whipped it out.. found a white picture and and sure enough. right at the top where the status bar is... it's shaded a bit. it's very faint right now... but it's definitely darker than the rest of the screen...
thoughts? anyone else experiencing this?

I don't have that problem (yet) but I was wondering if its covered under warranty?

Yup. It happens. The pixel inactivity seems to be the culprit.
Happened on my nexus s sporting an amoled display and I figured it was bound to happen to the gs2. And of course, it has.
Its one of those things you don't really notice unless youre looking for it, though. So just don't think about it and enjoy the phone.

If he's anything like me, once its there that's all hell see, like a scratch on the screen or a bad ding on the phone. Once I noticed the crooked screen on my evo3d, it drove me nuts. Actually I just checked and I also have a slight discoloration along the top of the screen.

Happened to the status bar of my og epic.
Since I've had my et4g, I have made sure to go full screen mode whenever possible (go launcher settings). So far haven't noticed any burn in.
This is also the reason why I still prefer GB over ics's designated onscreen buttons(maybe I'm just paranoid). Not to mention, more screen estate for viewing pleasure.

OLED technology from day 1 was a burn in technology. Unlike LCD's (and LED-LCD's, LED TV's are used in billboards not your house) with a black light shining through colored pixels which are darkened by liquid crystal which are subject to total backlight failure, age. The component of OLED has a lifespan on a per pixel basis.
Blues over all the various OLED tech's have the shortest lifespan. My laptop has an OLED display on it for information its a Teal color and its rather toasty

Yeah it's real simple to see if you want into any store with some smartphones on display that use OLED... those screens are destroyed most of the time

Cant you put up a pure white image fullscreen for extended time period to reduce the effects of image burn, or does this only work on other types of screens?

On OLED you actually want to display an inverse image of whatever is burned in. You need to burn the rest of the pixels to match the current state. White would probably still have a decent effect but I am not 100% certain. I have a really cruddy LCD that I have to do that for its really weird.

TEP
If you have TEP, this is a defect covered by TEP. Therefore you should be able to walk in to a repair shop and show it to a manager. Now I am afraid it is going to do it to me. Somehow, as I use the official rom, the auto brightness setting begins to get set so low that I cant read it. So I would have to go manually set it all the way up and then turn on the automatic brightness.

If you don't leave the screen on for unnecessary periods of time showing one thing you will be better off. I don't know if the guy with the dock or the dock itself has the screen not turning off. But having it display a static menu especially on high brightness for very long periods of time will destroy it quick.
Watching video for example is very random on wear and would not show up like a menu. Would average in wear like any other use.

I downloaded this and it works. Touch your screen to change the colors. Fortunately, my screen is good to go.

The samsung dock app didn't let the screen turn off while it was docked.
I'm not sure if that is still going on with it, but I switched to alarn clock plus app. It dims and then moves around the clock a little bit every few minutes to avoid having the image in the same place causing burn in.

I just noticed this today on mine. I am too lazy to go in and try to get a sprint guy to see what I see and get a replacement. Kind of alarming though because my phone is only 6 months old...

My girlfriends old fascinate had this issue. Was pretty annoying but my epic touch seems fine for now. I heard not turning up the brightness real high helps.

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.

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.

Yes it have yellowish tint at the bottom. BTW is your bottom left corner darker or lighter that bottom right corner?

I have the yellow tint also. (Reducing blue light in the custom colour scheme setting helps even it out). Be aware this screen is very fragile. I dropped the phone 2 ft in a case at it got a pressure point. After I used it with no screen protector for one day and it got a deep rainbow bad scratch after handling it carefully.

I have the yellow tint also. (Reducing blue light in the custom colour scheme setting helps even it out). Be aware this screen is very fragile.

I tried but I do not have a camera good enough for it to show.
It looks similar to this pressure spot on the IP6, but my spot is not so bad.

Yeah, navigation bar is darker on one side and lighter on another. Not a big issue but it's noticeable. Also when I put dark mode it can't be seen at all and everything is fine.

My screen is perfect so if you think yours isn't you really should return it.

Don't know about others here but I won't return mine since I know there are better and worse displays and I don't want to play panel lottery and get some even worse. I can live with this little issue and with dark mode it's not noticeable at all.

Yes changed mine as i put in my pocket, its cant really take much pressure on the screen for this mi 10t screen.
I can press hard on samsung and LG phone but not this xiaomi screen which produce funny colour change tint..

What happened when you put your Mi 10T Pro in your pocket, I don't understand? Can you explain a little bit?

I usually dont bring a bag out which I will just leave it on my front pocket, on one trip when I sit down having my dinner.. I took out for a view and suddenly the screen changed it colour spot on the phone, when I went to press on those spots alittle harder which I thought my protector screen was getting air bubble on it but end up the screen was having those yellowish rainbow spots which is annoying.
So in the end went for a 1 to 1 exchange as I only used for a few days, the screen indeed cant really bear with the pressure on it. I used to do the same on my other phone without any issues but not on this mi phone, so be very careful when you leave your phone on your pocket or anything that put pressure on the phone screen.
P/s: even mi 10 pro not the "T" version can handle it tho i not sure why this T version cant.

Oh I get it now, thanks for explanation. Luckily this screen is not expensive as amoled and won't cost a fortune even if I damage it myself and have to pay it from my own pocket.
