I'm not sure if it's right forum or not but I just wanted some opinions regarding an issue I'm getting with my 2 year old Note 2 (GT N7100). Recently suddenly i noticed a burn type thing in one corner of the display. Since then it has slowly grown in the last few days. It is especially noticeable on white background.
What I'm guessing is that the digitizer is gone. But just a guess. Can somebody actually help me out a little to think what else could be a problem? As mentioned it's a 2 year old GT N7100 running CM12 having a tempered glass screen protector.

Hi all
I have had my Galaxy Nexus for near to 5 months now and it appears to have developed an unusual fault on the screen. I have been contemplating taking in in for repair/replacement for a while now after the screen has a single dead pixel, but a few days ago I noticed that I have what appears to be two blisters or bubbles in the screen just below the top surface. I don't have a screen protector so I'm not being dim.
I have cleaned the screen several times with the usual screen cleaning products as well as car polish and a tiny bit of T-Cut, all of which have made no difference at all. I am also certain that it is not a scratch or other mark as when the screen gets greasy you can clearly see the smudges across the mark which wouldn't happen if it was a scratch or the like.
I have attached a few photos of the mark, which I have circled to identify. Thanks for reading this I would like to know if anyone else has encountered this sort of issue before or whether this is a case of me being pedantic. My concern is that i don't want to send the phone in for repair/replacement for a few weeks to a month without me being certain that it will get fixed and the whole ordeal to be for nothing.
Again many thank in advance for your help and advice.

Hi
I have a problem with my SG N7105 screen. The phone is only 6 weeks old and the problem stated about 2 weeks ago.
At first I noticed a white line down the screen from top to bottom. I got an app from Google play store to test the pixels and the line only occurred when the screen flashed certain colours, so there is a pixel problem. About 2 days ago the left side of the screen has become discolored. It is more noticeable on a lighter screen and looks Green. It goes exactly to the middle of the screen.
I am having the phone repaired by my carrier under warranty, I just wondered if this was an issue anyone else was familiar with?
Thanks

I just got this xmas am. Samsung galaxy 10.1 2014 edition. These lines have become more frequent in the past few days. On top of these, the note keeps crashing and freezing. I am not thrilled. Anyone know what is going on?

It sure looks like a hardware issue, maybe a memory fault. I would take it back to the supplier for an exchange. Sorry.
Them lines are basically the same appearance as the wacom digitizer...very odd.
If you have a look at this wacom digistizer picture near the sides it is identical to the one you have running across in your screen. The Note 10.1 2014 has that exact matrix on the entire screen however its transparent and its only barely visable under BRIGHT lighting and specific angles.

I'm no expert but yours could be hardware or software - I'd just go back and get a replacement.
Do you have a hand strap on your case/cover that touches the screen when closed ?
I've seen reports of the strap leaving a dirty "imprint" on the screen that you can actually wipe away with a cloth.
I see this on my S4... the Smart Cover window always leaves a rectangular dirty mark on my screen that I can wipe away.
Might be something else though...
Hope you get it solved... it must be like having an injured child

Hi!
So I have quite new nexus 7 2013 (bought it 2 weeks ago) and yesterday I recognized that it has weird stripe by the edge of the screen, just left side, its not all the way also and its also visible when tablet is booting. Picture is attached
And its only visible when you look on it with an angle. Im 90% sure that it wasnt there before... ( its really visible on black background , in dark room, Im sure I could see it..) . But is it kind of light bleeding? Of course its not a big problem for me but just wondering if it wasnt there before and just happend can be connected to some heating problem or so and be worse in the future. And tablet wasnt dropped on the floor of course.
Anyone has the same?
With cheaper tablets - I dont care ..but its fresh and not so cheap (especially here in Norway) and when Im laying on bed during the night and have my head a bit on the side ..then its pretty annoying
And of course I have guaranty but.. there was small accident and top right corner was slided through the wall which is like sand paper..nothing big,few small scratches on the plastic cover and it wasnt like dropping on the floor ..but it can looks like a bit, its visible. And my question is if it can cause problems during eventual reclamation process. Thanx in advance for any help

I would RMA if possible. I don't forsee any issues with the return.
People have had experiences where they had to pay for repairs because of apparent "physical damage"

Hello,
I have an issue with my T325, I have a white light bleed spot that is visible only on white or light pages between the two slim slots (in the middle of the screen but a bit to left). They are not dead pixels, many cheap phones have such a brighter spot.
I bought the tablet brand new 5 months ago, I have warranty for one and a half more years but it takes half a month or more until they see, repair and return the device if I send it in. (I haven't paid for premium service)
The spot appeared about 3 months ago but I told myself that I will not change my otherwise perfect screen for a brighter 0.3cm white spot even if it's a little annoying sometimes ( I had already exchanged two tablets until I got one without dead pixels or dirt inside the screen). I haven't dropped, pushed the screen on that point or did anything that could have damaged it.
However, at the beginning of this month i wiped my screen with a cloth that had something very hard on it and I didn't see and managed to get a deep 1 cm scratch (I can actually hook my nail in it) exactly in the middle of my screen and I didn't have a screen protector (who needs one on a tablet ? ). I am thinking on convincing somehow the service to change the screen because of the light bleeding. The two issues are unrelated, there is only one scratch on the screen clearly from a swiping motion.
Does anyone have an idea on whether the screen is defective or there is some strain in that point ?
Did anyone have a similar issue and managed to solve it ? Should I try sending it in ?
