GNex Black Spots

Hey everyone!
I've recently purchased a GNex from Google play and it had a yellow tinted screen to I called in for a replacement and on this one it has the black spots on an all black screen. I kinda don't wanna call in for another exchange but would if necessary. What I want to know is if the black spots will cause any future problems since I can live with only seeing them in dark rooms.

I see them too.. so does my other galaxy nexus... chances are your replacement will have them too, the only time i see them is on a completely black screen in a pitch black room. It doesnt bother me any other time. Although it would be bad if you had like an entire row.. how many exactly I only see like 4-6 on mine and on both they have them in nearly identical places.

Yes that's what I'm experiencing, I only see them in a pitch black room. I have probably about 10 small spots scattered around the screen. Do you happen to know if this would cause any future problems? Thanks for the reply

Doubtful. They will eventually multiply possibly. I'm not entirely sure I've gotten over it since. Doesn't bother me. Its am "only time will tell" kind of deal I guess.

[Q] Yellow tint on new Note 2

So I got my new Note 2 today and after playing with it for a couple of hours I noticed a yellow tint when viewing white colors. Like if I visit a website I know use a pure white bsckground, I can see that there is a yellow tint.
The weird thing though is that if I slighty tilt my device, either way, I can see pure white again.
I remember having the same issue with my sgs2 too.
So my question is, do anyone else have this issue? Should I return it or what?

A lot of s3 have yellow on whites, i guess that some note 2s will have some yellow tints to some extent, seems Samsung hasn't completely solved the tint issue on amoleds...if you have a tint on your phone there is not much you can do, if u can try and get it replaced

Black lines on screen in dark colors.

Guys everyone test ur phones do its a dim light or a room... now open a fully black photo or a video.. a lot of smiled screens have these strong spots or lights when ur looking at ur screen in the dark.
Or download an LCD test and perform it in a dim/dark room...
I want to know how many of ur screens are effected because a lot of people are reporting this issue and when they exchange their phones they still get the same problem.
For me its an issue since I payed $600 for it and would expect a flawless screen.

I've noticed two very tiny spots that are darker than others when brightness is down and the only thing on my screen is backlight (such as when a game/youtube is loading) but no bars or anything that has really caused me undue annoyance.

Good luck that is a Samsung trademark. Dealt with it with the S2 now the S3. For everything else the phone does I don't even worry about it. But I also go my phone from Tmobile free so I am not too worried as long as it works

So should I get it replaced I bought it for 600 from a tmobile store just a few says ago.. or is it likely I will get the same thing again.. (those black spots/lines)

Just keep it and enjoy it. Most if not all have this problem.

Most super amloed screens have this problem. I knoticed it too when I first got my phone but I learned to accept it because it really isn't visible unless you do what you mentioned above.

Ok I understand but mine doesn't have a little. It has 2 big lines down the screen and a bunch of stains all around... is this considered too much of a flaw with amoled?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Do you see it during normal use or just when you put it in those conditions? Because, I'm sure 90% of the phones will have it with those conditions. If you only have it under those conditions, then ignore it, because, as I said, 90% of S3 owners (AMOLED owners) will have it. If you see it during normal use, then replace the phone.

How bad are ur AMOLED ink spots?

So if u don't already know pretty much all of our s3 phones have black ink spots on the screen when viewing a black background at night time or somewhere really dark. If u don't believe me download the LCD test, go to black color picture wait a few seconds for ur eyes to adjust and ur screen to auto dim in the dark.. and ull see a bunch of stains.
I'm just wondering how bad is too bad?
I have 2 curved lines down the length on the screen and a few other stains. I just want to have an idea if I should replace my screen with hope that I will get less spots or smaller spots than now.
Please post ur ink imperfections here..

Probably like 6-7 q-tip sized ones. Maybe a little smaller.

=D I only have one spot that looks like some one stroked it with a QTip. Dead center in the screen.
Personally I'd rather have 8 of these marks instead of just one, DEAD CENTER OF MY SCREEN. Brings out the OCD in me.

Don't know and don't care, the phone works perfectly fine for me, no need to be all nit picky over small issues

I refuse to look, if I don't see it now, I won't notice it under normal use. If I do this and see it, I'll constantly dwell on it.

sounds like i got it pretty bad lol
i have about a shirt-button sized circle on the top center as well as a few other random little spots. Doesn't bother me though.

I don't have any.. let's see how many flaws my replacement has :\

That couldn't be more true, but some of us paid a lot for this phone. It's not an issue at all when you think about it, but once you do notice it, it becomes a psychological issue and it upsets the user.

I downloaded the lcd test app and looked. None there.

I got one that looks like south America it's big from center of screen to bottom.

I dled the apps and dont see any spots unless I'm doing something wrong. Can someone tell me exactly wat I'm supposed to be doing
Sent from my galaxys3 using xda premium

The spots are like backlight bleed. I don't think a tester will show anything...

I had this issue with my S2; the refurbished one had them everywhere. When I got my S3, I didn't notice a thing! Thanks for the awareness though.

***t screens.
just saying.
colors are nice, but at what cost. i would trade an HTC LCD screen for this one any day

What's so bad about the ink spots though? Since you can't see it when the screen is or off. Only when it's dark.

Screen Issue, returning 5th SIII what is it?

Hello, I have been having the same issue with my screen on my Galaxy SIII since I bought my first one last february, what is causing it and what is it?
Pictures below, it has just started to develop on this my 4th SIII that of which was a BNIB not one of those replacement ones which my last two replacements were.
Photos below..
The circles start out hardly visible and progress getting darker eventually I have a row of up to 5.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

Ok well then its worse because ive gone through 4-5 SIII since july
Look in the area circled in the original photo since the edited one became smaller

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

I don't see anything I wouldn't expect to see.
Edit: I see them now. It's like one of those pictures you have to stare at to see the image.

I see them, and yeah that would be pretty annoying. Are you using a particular background, or playing a certain game for an extended amount of time that could be causing those to "burn" into the display? Anything along that line of thought?
Is that only noticeable on light background colors or does it get darker with a darker background color?
------------------------------------
If it was easy you'd of hired the guy at Home Depot to to it.

It's definitely a game or something causing this. Or background as the above user mentioned. Only issue that's common throughout all of the s3 devices are the ink blots. That circling is really strange. I'm putting my money on it being caused by some sort of burn in from the same image being displayed for too long.

I don't see anything, even if there were something minor you returned 4 galaxy siii because of that?
I once heard a story about a boy after returning five phones for the same issue that was so minor, his mother took him to a psychologist about his perfectionism disorder. (Nothing to do with you, just a funny story)

It only starts getting darker and darker and more noticeable. It starts only being noticeable on white to gray screens then on all screens.
I do not use or have any backgrounds or games which have that design.
Would you pay the same amount for an SIII if you saw defects on the screen?
I pay for the warranty so I will make sure my phone is in prestine condition if ever I decide to sell it.
