Dead pixel? Stuck pixel? Something else? Time to return? *sadface* The other stuff are bubbles from my crappy screen protector. Also it doesn't stick one color. Can't see it on black, but on green it's greenish, blue it's bluish red etc.

If it really bugs you I'd get a replacement, they make it pretty easy for you.

Did they replace that part or the entire phone? The digitizer has no light producing parts. I think that was a hot spot in your back light to be honest.

Brand new phone at the store. I thought it was a hot spot/pixel but screen was fully black when off. Usually hot pixel still shows. Either way not sure what happened to it exactly.

Hmm guess that article was wrong hah. I've delt with dead/stuck pixels before guess that's the first hot spot. Either way I only had the device for 3-4 days before it happened.

We all got new devices recently, wife has a tablet also so she has not been on my case lately but Im still using a SGS.
Take it from a guy married for several years. Set up a date night really soon and dont touch your phone the whole time. Big time points to be earned!
Was it you or her that put the phone screen side down?
I experienced it today for about a minute and, it was just a yellow tint over the screen. My screen went back to normal after a minute or so. So the question is has this ever happened to any of you guys???
No. Your phone is probably going to explode soon.

This. I used to have an E4GT and then I got the YSOD and 5 minutes later my phone exploded, shrapnel flying everywhere. Still have a piece of the screen lodged in my groin, doctors said they can't take it out because the risk of losing my junk was too high. Was going to replace it but honestly, it's not worth the risk. Decided to play it safe and got an iPhone 4S instead.
Be careful OP, the YSOD is serious sh*t.

A yellow tint over the screen can be two things. Either your ribbon cable connecting your screen to the board is loose or damaged (new screen will fix the problem) or the GPU on your board was overheating (whole new phone if it burns up). Are you running any custom ROMs? What were you doing when it happened? Have you dropped your phone?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It happened about 20 mins. after using odin to go to stock ek02 I was reading an article in wikipedia and all of a sudden everything had a yellow tint I thought it might just be the site but, then I found it was the entire phone screen. I wasn't doing anything that could have overloaded the gpu and, I haven't dropped my phone at all. After a quick google search I found that it could be a software problem since some other people have also had this problem but, it could also be a defect with the screen.... If you have any ideas please let me know.

Also it went away after a minute or so and, has not come back. I have had no problems with anything rendering from the gpu other then this quick glitch.

my current version has hboot that is still not unlocked and pink and purple hue. i might as well take the risk.
i am hoping for the lower hboot and no camera issue, wish me luck.

Good luck! Last Blue one I got from VZW still had 4.2.2 and exploitable bootloader. But a nice dead pixel on the screen and jagged edges and huge ass gaps.

I have the blue BB version so they have replacements for them as well. The lower right hand corner has a big ass gap and you can feel the jagged edge when you run your finger along it. Also the screen and bottom grill has a big ass gap you can stand a playing card up in it trololol.

All the best :good:
Use this http://219.80.249.25/IMEIQuery/IMEIQuery.aspx?ct=zh-CN and you can see your build date. The Blue HTC One's I got from Verizon were built on 9/25/13. Month later than the one I got from Best Buy. Seems the blue ones are phones set aside by the manufacturer for warranty exchanges I think.
Left one is from Verizon right is Best Buy. Bit yellowish on the screen from Verizon but people are saying that will go away as it can be attributed to the adhesive. There seems to be no difference in games and videos for coloration.

My advice? Don't bother getting into the exchange game. I have been through 4 Note 5's for different issues. Every single one of them had this issue in sunlight. Each one was in different spots but they all had this issue. Like others have said, it's just a part of amoled.

Yea every iPhone I have ever owned never had an issue like this so I am seriously considering switching back to Apple.
To be honest I do not think this is normal as I watched a lot of videos and reviews and no mention of this issue. I also can not find mention anywhere of an AMOLED doing this. The only mention was in dark on a black screen there are some lines and such.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk
I haven't noticed this problem on my Note 5, or any of my previous-model Notes. On the other hand, I don't really see it in your photo either, so maybe I'm just not observant enough.
Just took the phone back today. The rep from Samsung said that is in no way normal for AMOLED. I got a replacement we took it outside and the screen is beautiful. No ugly smudging anymore!
