Hi, I have noticed dark spots behind my phone screen for quite some time.
These are visible only when I turn the blue light filter at night.
Please see the attachea screenshots.
Circles can be seen in the dimmed picture.
The other picture is without the blue light filter.
I don't use a screen guard, and I sweat a lot all the time. (ears are wet)
I never dripped this beauty in water.
Please help. Shall I buy silica gel dessicants or is it something else?

Can you point exactly where the blue spots are? I don't see them anywhere in your screenshot. My guess is your screen is compromised that only your view is affected. When you take screenshots, the system snap the 'screen data' only. You may need to get the display panel.

Hello xda
can you please help me?
A weird pink smudge (size of a finger tip) appeared on my 2weeks old galaxy note 2. Im not using a screen protector but it is in a great condition, few really light scratches, screen is perfectly clean. Smudge is visible on white/yellowish background, but doesnt dissappear on other colours (gray etc,) and is noticable. Ive made a screenshot on the phone, and the smudge isnt visible on the screenshot, just on the screen. Touch is working fine. Other colours are also working on the pink smudge, like when im using Note app, i can paint some stuff , when i paint the smudge with black it isnt visible, but when i paint white its visible. Its placed in the middle left side of the screen. I dont know the cause of it. Can i fix it somehow?
It sounds like the AMOLED panel is messed up... can you take a picture with a camera to show us what it looks like exactly?
It's only 2 weeks old, take it back.
dead pixel

Faulty! Get it replaced! ASAP!
take it back, but before that just remove the screen protector and see if there is any difference.
Some wet application protectors tend to leave behind pink stain in some areas sometimes. But this does look more like a screen issue. But just check before submitting phone to samsung for repairs.

i have no screen protector.
Also a new question could this be made by poking/knocking the screen with a tip of a finger? I heard the screen is really though but I really don't know the cause. And if so, does warranty cover such thing?
it's a stupid question. But I noticed the smudge sometime after a random dude was poking my screen with his finger tips get my attention.

Take it back, under normal use (and even in cases where you'd tap rather hard on the screen) you should never see this... it almost looks like pressure damage to the AMOLED display panel, maybe it's not seated properly. Either way, you should definitely seek replacement or repair ASAP.
There is a blue tinted 'smear' in the left center of my phone. I removed my screen protector and realized it wasn't a smudge. It's the screen itself. It doesn't appear in screen shots either. It's apparent with white background.
I also noticed increasingly more dark shadows in my screen when pitch black screens or loading screens show up. They're hard to describe. It's like seeing a lcd with bleeding light but in various smears or shapes.
I've had this since I got the phone on launch day but since then I've noticed the number increase.
I thought maybe I've banged it too much or pressure in my pocket. But I never keep anything in my pocket with my phone besides my leather wallet occasionally. I also had a flip cover too which makes it weirder.
This is a samsung screen thing...most amoled screens have this... I belive its the glue or somthing...if u turn ur screen all the way down and use a screen filter to lower the brightness even more.. it should show up on blacks...there is a thread somewhere buried in qna with same issue.

even the weird blue miscolor? Its so annoying :X
Can u take a pic of your phone....like not screen shot but whith a different device?
When I put a white watch face or the screen is white, I can see these waterish edges towers the left and right of the screen. Wiping the edges doesnt help... Its not visible with a black watch face
Look at the left edge of the watch in the attached pic... Could it be glue and would dry off with time? Or something wrong with the screen.

Looks like light reflecting in the angle cut glass. Normal looking.
It's the glass edge, light refracted from the angle of the glass, nothing to worry about.
http://https://youtu.be/icCu9VpkDf4How many have light leaking through a gap between the metal frame and panel?
Look at my picture posted below..ty
At first I thought that I might have a similar problem but of you're using a screen protector that extends to the edges of the glass but does not sit flush with the bezel then the protector almost acts like a fiber optic cable in the sense that the white light from the icons on the screen shine through the edges of the protector and reflect off the bezel. I was using an IQ shield protector and this effect was really noticeable. I had some other free protectors and the IQ shield was peeling away so I decided to switch it out and since then I haven't seen the issue at all. As for the kid in the video he seems like a *****, I honestly couldn't see the bleed through effect he was trying to portray in his video.

I see nothing in that video, and I see nothing on mine, it seems kinda silly to me.

I just posted a photo of mine. this isn't silly imo. The kid is showing his when the room is lit up. If it was low light or dark you'd see it better. Check out my pic and tell me what you think? Xda tweeted this kids video, which then lead me to checking mine. Mine doesn't have an edge to edge protector on it. I have a gap that allows light to go through.
I just looked closely at mine, and there is no gap or light bleed.

i have a little of the light leak... but does it matter? Not really.. it doesnt change the quality of the image or screen.. plus I have a case on mines, i wont even notice..
Thanks for the response. Imo, it matters a lot. I don't always have a case on and I can see the leak looking directly at the screen head on. Resell value will suck too.
So far, for the first 24 hours I really enjoy this phone. I only have one gripe so far. Has anyone noticed the light leak between the glass and the bezel on both sides?
See the attached pictures. If you're using your phone in a low light room with the screen turned up just a little bit and brightness comma there's a major Gap between the glass and the bezel that goes all the way down to the bottom.

Imagine a fiber optic cable. That is the effect you are getting from the glass on the screen. Had the edges of the screen been painted black, you wouldn't see this. It's nothing to be concerned with.

I get that, but I guess I'm comparing this to S7 Edge and my wife's S6 Edge Plus.
*I was just about to write both don't do that but I'm wrong. I just turned up the brightness on both and they both have that issue. It's a small thing, but now I can't "not" see it.
Yes, that is normal. Besides, AMOLED screens are self-lit pixels, ie. there's no backlight to leak out, unlike conventional LCD screens.
