strange dotted line

i do have a strange dotted line at the bottom of my screen, which seems to get larger slowly.
The dotted line is shown when the device is turned on/off.
It's not in the glass, but below the glass.
I wonder if anyone has seen this before.
i tried to make an image of it.

I have it too, not sure what caused it though!

No issue here.

The touchscreen is lifting from the tft, to which it's glued, causing air bubbles in the glue, IMO.

Me too although it doesn't bother me since it doesn't do anything to the viewing experience.

All, thank you for your replies.
I contacted Samsung support, and they informed me that it was no known issue on their devices.
If i want to have it repaired; i could sent it to Dynafix who does the repairs in my area, and they will check if it's a fabrication fault or an user fault.
I have sent the picuture to dynafix to see if they could say me something about it, though i am not sure if they will do this.
I will keep you updated.

Ouch, dynafix..... You usually get your device back in a condition worse than when it was when sent in.

Me too
I also have those at various points along the bottom. They don't bother me enough to risk sending the tablet in for service.

Maybe answer is that; however,the seller said that these dots are originated from the people that scratch or something when i see these dots on the Screen of tablets at showroom of Samsung. But i think there is a problem. After a while i think all note 2014 will be like that. I examined all of them in different stores. Guess what. All of them has that issue.

I think you should bring your tablets to be fixed.
Also , i have a question for everyone who has that issue, are your galaxy notes 10.1 black or white ? I saw this issue only on black ones' screens. Are you using your tablets in fully brightness? Because i realized that it begins warming rapidly and more at bottom of the screen which is so close to the dotted place.

Is your tablet black or white? Do you use it when it is charged, frequently? Almost how long have you been using your tablet?

Brightness setting is in the middle. Yes I use it alot everyday for work. The screen is mostly always on and I charge it mid day in the office and still use it while charging. Sometimes the screen gets warm when being used and charged at the same time. Been using this tablet since November

Tnx for your replies,
I bought it in january. no dots observed yet. I also have black model. I dont use in charge. I use it portable way when it is not charging. I am so angry with samsung because of that issue. They had made really big mistake and they dont accept their faulty. They even dont try to fix this issue for next generations.

At first I was bothered by it.. but now not so much. Good thing the dots are on the bottom of the screen and you wont notice it when using the tablet. Yes still samsung should fix this issue

Mine is black.
I have used it while it was charging but not very often.
I purchased it new about 7 weeks ago.

I had the exact same issue with my first note I bought in November. Ended up returning it to the retailer about 6 weeks into use and buying a new one I've had for about 6 weeks so far as well. No issue on the 2nd one as far as I can tell right now but this seems like another common problem.

If these bubbles/dots are caused by the reasons i mentioned earlier, they align with the colored rim of the touchscreen, because the color layer increases thickness of the glass by some nanometers. Going towards the center of the screen, the gap narrows because of adhesive force bending the glass. This should prevent the bubbles/dots from wandering inwards. Otherwise there's a huge issue with the device, though mine is (still) fine.

I noticed these dots on my white note after I got it back from battery repair. Not sure if it was there but I have 3 clusters of bubbles now

since yesterday i've this strange line as well. It came out of nowhere. After reading this tread @yararli could be right about something. Normally I use my screen about 25% brightness. Yesterday I watched a episode at almost 100% brightness. So there could be a causality between the brightness en warming-up which result in this strange line. My tablet is black bought it around december.
Is there any news about returns? Will there repair this problem or give a new tablet?

[Q] Screen Issue (Black Screen but touch is working)

Hi all,
I bought my Note 10.1 (Edition 2014) during a trip to new york (great price) & i brough it back to France.
2 months after my return, i drop the tablet from a chair (about 10 cm high) & the screen begun to turn black.
After a few minutes, the screen was completly black
There is absolutly no scratch on the screen so i tried to plug it directly to my tv through usb/hdmi convertor.
Once plugged, everything is working fine on the tv (the tablet screen is still black), the touch screen is working on the tablet, sounds too.
I check the samsung warrantly & it's not applicable in France for product bought outside Europe
I didn't find any website selling LCD screen (only touch screen but i think it's not the problem).
Do you have any ideas how to save my tablet ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Julien

@kouller if you call up Samsung they may allow you to post it to the US to get it repaired.
If you tell them it fell even though it probs had an underlying issue anyways they will not fix it.

My tablet also went completely dark
The screen and digiziter are fine, can hear the startup-sound and feedback from the touch..
So now im sending it in for repairs..

Got my note back from the repair company today..
And guess what, they didn't find any thing wrong with it!!
I could not powered it off before shipping, so I think the solution was to drain the battery completely...

[Q] proximity sensor problem

Just checking if more have same problem. During a call I might sometimes bend my head laying phone on shoulder when I need my hands for other stuff.
1st problem is that the sensor is very badly calibrated imo compared to my old nexus4 and 2nd problem is that if your screen goes black when sensor is triggered, you can still do touch inputs. Screen should be locked if sensor is triggered as on many other phones. I checked this with someone else who owns a z2 and he was pretty sure it was same for him.
Im gonna doublecheck with two more z2 owners as I dont know that many z1c owners irl.
Only me or any of you also notice it?

There's a couple threads about this, like this one.
I've also had this a few times now, I just read through the linked thread and I'll try holding it on my right ear instead of left, but I don't think that's going to help since the screen is off when my ear presses buttons.
Maybe someone should check with Sony to see if they know about this...

Next question then would be if the same issue is still there on another rom like cm11? Anyone tried?

It's not a ROM problem, but a design/construction problem. Proximity sensor is placed at the upper left edge of the phone and no ROM in the world is gonna fix that.

I dont buy that. My old nexus 4 also has the sensor in top left corner and that phone doesnt behave like this one

And also the screen still reacting to touches when it's off is definitely a ROM problem.

Touchscreen Problem : only sPen works

Hi everybody
i have an annoying problem with my tablet ( SM - P600 )
in fact , the touchscreen respond very well to the spen , however , it doesn't respond to my fingers
no accidents have been happened fto the tablet
it's not rooted
Can you help me ???

First off the touch screen has nothing to do with the S-pen other then a surface to write on. Did you install any apps prior to this happening.
Sent from my SM-P600 using Tapatalk

I didn't install any new application
while I was playing in the morning , I remarqued that touchscreen do not respond
It's very strange !!!!!

It may be a manufacturer defect. If you have not modified or damaged your device in any way that's the only other explanation. A couple of days after i got my P600 it's WiFi and Bluetooth went bad, although I rooted and flashed it still ended up being a physical defect that I couldn't fix. I had to send it in for repair.

it's very strange !
Can the touch screen broke down without accident ?
I think it's another issue ...

It's not common for this to happen. I Have a tf101 that I thought was dead because the screen would not turn on, no damage to it and was working perfectly fine be for it happened. I sent it in to get repaired, come to find out that it was a loose connector. Have you tried the screen with the s-pen out of and far away from the device?

Thank you for replaying
yes , i tried it and it dosen't work
do you advise me to do a factory reset ?

I suggest it. That is one of the first steps I take when troubleshooting my devices.

Well it seems that it's a hardware issue
...

Do you still have the warranty? If so samsung will fix it for free. If not you can try and pop the back cover off and reseat the ribbon cable. If that doesn't work you may have to replace to digitizer.

Dialer Access on WiFi Only
Go here to gain access to dialer on the P600:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10-2014/help/how-to-access-dialer-p600-t2830904

Late to the party - I know but . . . .
Open up the device and locate the ribbon feeder from the digitizer screen - it's about one inch to the left of the camera lens looking from the front with Samsung lettering at top. Lift the catch with spudger or finger nail and relocate the ribbon squarely and as far in as possible. Lock with catch, switch unit on and try with finger - if not successful try and try again as Robert the Bruce was wont to say!

HEEEEELP!!!!!! I dropped my GT-N7100 twice and it's not working (really urgent)

Hey guys,
As I said I dropped my phone now it's not working
To be more specific :
Once I dropped my phone and turned it on the screen had faint horizontal gray colored lines on the entire screen except the notification bar area I say are because when you pull it down the gray lines are still there and that area doesn't
The second time I dropped my phone the screen won't turn on at all initially the soft buttons lit up but now even they are not lighting up....I tried going into recovery mode the screen still didn't light up
Guys please help....

So your phone does boot up but screen does not work as it should if I get it correct. If so, you can open the case and check if the screen connector is loose..
