Anyone any idea what this would be? A triangle stuck right in the middle of my screen, almost like a water mark or something on paper. It also has a line on it. Its noticeable on light backgrounds and is there right from boot.
Its really hard to see on that photo but there is a faint triangle right in the middle of the screen.
Hardware issue? Your best option is bringing your phone to nearest Samsung service center

I noticed today an artifact that appears on my screen. It is very easy to see of I use an app with a white background. I let the screen turn off. I turn on the screen and a couple of seconds after unlocking the screen I see a small orange starburst that fades in and after a second or two it fades out and is gone. The phone has not been dropped nor abused at all. Does this sound like an internal issue that I should be looking at getting my phone replaced? It is bear the too of the screen.

it sounds like the lcd screen is cracked. (hence the orange color) You don't have to drop your phone for this to happen, you could lean against something, or even from having it in your pocket if you put to much pressure against it.
Unfortunately your only real choice would be to get the screen replaced at the sprint store.
Well after further investigation I think it mat be some left over artifact of the sprint logo eventhough my phone is rooted with custom splash and boot screens. I scrolled my desktop and looked at this where the background was black. When I look at it on a black background it looks yellow and not orange and it looks a lot like the end of sprint logo that brightens and dims.

Alright.. well to start off I know what caused this issue; so I'm not looking for a 'fix'. Just a detailed explaintion from anyone who knows enough about the SAMLODED screen.
Playing airsoft with an Epic is a VERY bad idea; I don't ever recommend it. I left it in my pocket..and it got hit screen first so now there is a purple mark spanning out from the bottom right of the screen (where it got hit) and is completely black at the point of impact.
Was looking so see what actually happened to the screen to cause this. Why is it purple and not some other color..What 'broke' inside causing a purple 'glob' if you will.. to be inside my screen.
I just got a stuck pixel on my phone in the bottom of the screen, i picked it up today from the local T-Mobile store, anyway to pix it or am i gonna have to return it?
best thing to do is to return it for another one
it's very rare to see a stuck LED on the SAMOLED+ screens
it stays even after a reboot?
yea i rebooted it 3 times and i also ran those youtube stuck pixel fixers that flash billion colors on the screen really fast...it didnt work its still there
Stuck Red Pixel
Anyone else have one?
It's really not a big deal, except that I've only had the phone for two days. They usually go away on their own after time but I have to admit it's annoying.. because I purposely look to see if it's their when I'm in the web browser, which is really the only time I see it (only really visible on white background)
take it back and change it ASAP
Dead Black Pixels? Picture not rectangle?
Okay so I was about to go to bed when I realized that the phone died...so I plug it in and I was like wooooahhhh wtfff...
I see all these weird dead black pixels and on top of that the battery isn't perfectly rectangle...the back part is zigzaggy...I tried to take a picture but it doesn't come out..
Try it. Go into a really dark room and turn phone completely off. Plug it in and wait for the battery picture to come on...any of you see the multiple dead black pixels and non rectangular battery? ?
An alternative way that I also tried was a black background on the lock screen...I saw only a few dead black pixels...not as much as plugging it in...dam I thought my batch was perfect...
You can take a screenshot by holding the home key and pressing the lock button.

That wouldn't help because its a hardware problem. I'm going to return it and wait 2 months and get it at a cheaper price....
are you sure those are dead LED?
there's no pixel in SAMOLED displays, each "pixel" is actually a LED
so are you absolutely sure those LED at dead?
if you put a HD picture on screen of a uniform colour, does it leave any black spots?
That's what I meant, thank you for clarifying....I see splotches on dark shades of black...its like the screen is dirty, but isn't.
I actually have a spot I didn't notice until last night, its a red spot that's stuck at the bottom. So that's a dead led?

In dark areas..
Go in a dark area and turn your brightness all the way down and got to a greyish picture or the clocks app. I see black spots on my phone.. How bout yall?

I see the samething when doing the Screen brightening glitch in a dark room.
When I turn off my phone and connect to the charger in the dark, it show the battery charging and surrounding it are black dots and lines. is this even normal? does everyone got that or its my defective device?
Hi, just wondering if anyone has this problem. On the white screen as well as camera, a yellow stain has appeared on the top, like a coffee stain on a page. Can't take a screen shot because it only appears on the screen. If pressed, it disappears for a moment and comes back. It's not as clear as before but still there. Most likely a hardware problem but wondering if it's possible to fix. Cheers.
probably not fixable by any software means mate,if its still under warranty, get screen replaced. its common thing with one x, along with speaker problems, creaking sounds etc.. what can you do, nothing is perfect
Been lucky til now. Thought of holding out for sense 5 but guess it's time to get the one. Had this phone for a year now.
I just had my phone replaced because of a power button issue.
Didn't notice with the first one, not sure if it had it, but at the bottom of the screen there is a slight tint of blue in color shift vs the top of the screen.
Kind of like a blue haze coming up from the bottom of the screen about a inch or so.
If you put on a white screen and look at the top then bottom you I see the shift in color.Mainly on white or grey color though.
Is this normal or did I get another bad one do you think?
Yep same situation happened to me.. unless u dont mind. Get a new one.

He he yeah it would bug me.
Guess it goes back.
I am having great luck. 2 with issues ha ha
Yeah well.
Thanks for the advice though.
The store is going to love me brining back another one
There seems to be some build quality issues.
Well it is about 3:30 here now and I am off to take this back to the store here in FL to see if they will take it back.
Wish me luck.
Will let you all know what I find.
Sorry for the late reply.
Forgot to when I got home.
Just showed them the color shift in the store and that it was on all screens and not just a particular app and they set me up with another one.
Screen on the display unit that didn't have the haze and the new one both look good, but not quite as bright whites as the one that did have the haze to it.
But I am okay with that.
I had a green tinted area in the top half of the screen showing on white and dark screen backgrounds. I came across someone whos screen turned completely green one day and didnt work at all afterwards so I took mine back to be on the safe side. Im now on my 3rd S4 in a week. Still love this phone
