[Q] Yellow tint blob taking over screen - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

So I noticed this yellow tint blob thing coming from the right side of my gs2 screen. At first I though I was crazy, but it has been growing. It started as barely noticeable, and now it takes up half of the screen. I tried searching for similar issues but couldn't find much.

Anyone else ever had this issue? Advice?
Thanks!

Looks like a magnet issue to me, did you have it close to one? Sometimes other electronic devices can also cause it.

Not that I can recall... I don't find myself around magnets too often :S I did drop it on the tile a couple days ago. It wasn't that far of a drop, and the back cover popped off. Maybe it landed awkwardly and messed something up.

Tilt 2 owners, do you guys get this?

ok soo i dropped my Tilt 2 from a standing point (which is about 5 and a half feet since im 5'9) with the phones keyboard open and screens tilted, whats funny is that no battery fell out or anything, it just shuts off, i had to turn it back on.
when i shaked the phone i heard a slight rattle and i reckon its from the Flex Cable from the LCD screen, the rattle stops when i have my Tilt 2s keyboard open, but when i tilt the screen i can hear it slightly...is that normal?
also what is going to aggravate me for the rest of the time im going to own this phone is that when im using the phone's software keyboard on portrait at say like a 15 degree angle i can hear taps which is quite annoying but if i hold it at a 45 degree angle it stops, i turned the phone to the side i notice a gap, not a big one and not really noticeable but id say its roughly .5mm thick, i push the screen down and the gap gets smaller, is normal as well?
plz let me know thnx a lot
short answer.... no.... not normal. You knocked something loose inside hence the rattle, WHICH you probably already knew The gap, also not normal. Well wait.. I should correct myself. This is all probably totally normal for people who have dropped their phone. You're lucky you didn't crack your screen or do more damage and the phone's still usable!

hmm, well i talked to one Tilt 2 owner and he said he has that rattle and he hasnt dropped it? but like i mentioned, the rattle must be coming from that Flex cable that goes between the motherboard and the LCD screen....
No rattle and no gap on mine, but I've only had it 5 days. Give me time.
I have rattle too, but i think its the G-Sensor !

i did a couple of searches on PPC and some say its a normal thing especially in the tilted position? http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=87452 at least im not the only one! i just have OCD xD
heres a video of the screen problem im having
but its not as worse as his but you guys get the point
I just dropped my phone yesterday with keyboard out and tilted and I got a similar problem to this. My screen only has a gap when I pull it up, which I wasn't able to do before, but the screen slide is now about 1 or 2 cm's to the left causing it not to line up with the keyboard slide. Somewhat aggravating, but totally unnoticable unless your holding the phone. I don't get any rattle though...

hmm
well if i were to dismantle the phone and repair the little bridge that goes across the back of the LCD screen would that solve the issue? because it seems when i push on it it seems to fill a gap but idk if thats what causing the whole screen and kb issue but im going to do it when i have the chance
I have a tilt and mines exacly like the one in the video with the vary small gap and the screen wobble, I always assumed it was normal, mine dosent rattle though
that little gap and the screen wobble.
it just because is got movable parts, look at the screen hinges if i can call them that.
its the reason i didnt want to get mine, ive always chose candy bar phones so i dont worry about that.
but i did get me a tilt 2 and have dropped it too, i also think my wobbly screen started after i dropped it, but ive had it a year, since it first came out. the only thing i hate reall bad about this phone it the lack of a headphone jack I HATE THAT WITH A PASSION.

Yellow spot on Display

Hi,
did anybody has this? (see Picture)
Its on the bottom of the screen. I just noticed it while browsing a website in landscape mode.
That may be glue. And I hope it is not a similar problem OnePlus One owners are facing.

Hm, but where? Obviously not on the front Between the Glas and the Display itself?
But,i will check this again when the phone gets warm....
This happens to LCD panels, it could be a one off due to heat etc, or it could be the sign of a faulty panel.

If it is glue, it cam be solved, by putting the phone under UV light or under the sun for some time, and it will go away. Google it.
If this does not solve your problem, look for a replacement.

Hm. A couple of days I think. But I can't tell you exactly. It just disappeard after a while.
I'm pleased yours disappeared. Mine which is identical in both the place and shape has been on my G3 since I got it back in July.
It still gets darker the longer you have heat build up on the screen and when it's cooled down its faint again.
i dont have the same luck as you guys mine are getting bigger and darker i think i have a bad lcd DAMN i really love this phone.
Same issue here. Same color, same location, same size. Mine is invisible when the phone is cool. But when the phone heats up, the yellow is very visible.
Sorry guys, I forgot to come back here with an update.
Mine eventually disappeared last week after nearly 3 months.
I believe it is the glue.
Someone told me to try leaving the phone under UV lighting. I left mine in direct sunlight for when it was not being used. Seemed to cure it in a few days.
yellow spot all of a sudden!
I've updated my phone to lollipop v20e a couple of days ago. Today I noticed this little yellow spot in my phone. Coincidence or not I began to use NFC TAGS early this morning, can this be related using the NFC TAGS and having this function enabled?
yellow screen marks
I bought my LG G3 on the 20/07/14 and after 5 months of use I have a long yellow thick line across the top left of the screen. What makes this even more concerning is my cousin bought the same handset a week before me and his now also has a thick yellow line on the screen. There is nothing you can do to get rid of it and it is more pronounced against a white background.Looks more like screen burn. Both my cousin and I have contacted LG and we are having to send our handsets to them for repair.
I have never experienced this issue with any other handset i have owned. I was unhappy that i had the issue but even more pi$$ed off that my cousin has the same thing happening which tells me either it was a huge coincidence or that these things are not fit for purpose and more and more will be going wrong in the near future.
My handset has been well cared for and never dropped. I am a moderate user so this was even more of a surprise. While the LG is getting repaired I am using my Sony z2 work phone as my personal for now and I don't think I will be swapping back when I get my LG back.
Good luck to anyone who has this issue. My concern is the same thing will happen again and then it will be my problem as it will be outside of warranty.
Juan
i have it too in the up-right corner of the screen and it doesn't disappear... it just get darker with hot screen and softens when it cools down
Left-top corner
I also experiencing this issue for 2 months now. its a strip. and its getting longer day by day. once i tried screen burn app and 8 hours continuously screen on resulted in heated display. then, when i press that line temporary it disappears. so obviously its the glue. i'll try the direct sunlight thing. hope it'll resolve this case. it's really annoying
Thanks for the tips :fingers-crossed:

After 6-7 months of usage, same thing, in same place (upper right corner, don't dissapear - only getting bigger and darker on hot screen).
Took my phone to local warranty service, and after 1 week got call from this service - they told me, that service is REJECTED, because phone had physical damage! (WTF?!?!?!?! i haven't dropped it, and there is no crack's/spots of damage on phone!).
After telling them all this, and proposed that it may be glue, or faulty LCD/Overheat - they told me that LCD have crack from back side (?!?!?!LOL!?!?!?!).
Now i'm stuck deep in *ss, and don't know even what to do....
Anyone of you got solution to this problem?
Maybe contacting LG representives directly will help to solve this case?
10x.
help!!! direct sunlight?? kindly put the instructions pls

[Q] Black spot on screen, that comes and goes.

Random black spot appears randomly, anyone else seen this happen ?
black spot appeared this morning after barely using it this holiday weekend.
Sometimes its there the whole time screen is on and sometimes it on for just a few seconds. really weird.
Looks like there is pressure being applied to the LCD screen. It might vary a little with temperature. I would have the watch replaced, it isn't going to go away.

I just noticed I have the same exact dark spot when I changed to a white background. Unfortunately I scraped off the plastic tabs inside the Moto 360 so I don't think I can return mine

need help, does your screen look like this

I've had my phone since it was released, and until now I noticed that colorful line running across the bottom of my screen,also a small circle on the top left. It's more noticeable at that angle. I guess I never paid attention, since I put a screen protector on my phone as soon as I got it, and now that I took it off is when I noticed it. Does any body else have that anywhere on their screen? Should I exchange it? I would hate getting a refurbished phone!

I am no expert but it looks like too much pressure was applied to the screen? Do you sit on your phone by any chance? Or maybe someone stepped on it ( and did not say anything? :rage: )?

Notes frame coming unglued ??

Just under the volume button is popping out. After about a month or so thinking it was the case - I just put on a Samsung stock case and I believed it was not attached to the phone. Turns out, today I was looking a little deeper and the glass screen is bowing up from the bottom. Another words, you can push with your thumb on the back cover and it will bulge up while the frame stays. Never been dropped or even hardly carried.
Anyone else seen or heard of this?
Nobody had any issues of the glass pushing up in the middle left side of the phone under the volume button. I might as well play the lotto then......or not.
Ok, looks like my battery is a bit swollen and may have caused it??? Anyone else notice anything?
Mines been fine
I have had mine since last November, It has been in an Otterbox for the better part of six months, I have not noticed anything like you are describing.
My phone is awesome. So is it's condition.
