So I have a black Galaxy S2 Epic Touch. I Decided I thought it would be cool to change it from black and make it the white one, I have a white GS2 screen with the back housing as well. I got the parts from a broken one my friend had, but the screen is def. good as I have seen it work before. For some reason when i take my black screen off and put the motherboard on the White screen and turn it on, it goes kinda bonkers!
The bottom touch buttons dont work? It simply makes its own random selections on the screen and kinda acts like a completely bad screen. But I have SEEN the screen work perfectly fine before this? When I put the mobo back in my black screen, it works perfectly fine again. Maybe its a sign to keep it black lol but my question IS...
Is there some sort of slightly different hardware in a white screen that identifies that I have a "Black motherboard" installed on it, so it just doesnt work right? Or SOMETHING to that extent? I was excited to switch them but hell...maybe the screen went bad somewhere down the line? Let me know what yall think, thanks guys!

This is a physical problem, the screen works fine and has no distortion as far as what it looks like when its on. But I noticed this weekend that when it was off I noticed a like triangular section in the middle of the screen, where it has a rainbow-ish discoloration pattern and small dots in the middle of the screen, about 1/4 of a inch inward all the way around the display part of the screen. The dots are in a perfect grid-like format and the rainbow color distortion almost looks like an oil slick.
I have had the factory screen protector on it since day one, I peeled it back today only to find its on the screen itself, I tried to wipe it off and nothing. I always carry the phone in a belt clip and never in my pocket, etc. So I don't know how it could have gotten damaged or how damage could cause such a curios perfect pattern of strangeness on the screen.
Anyone else ever seen this happen?
well i have heard its damage from high pressure... the touch layer in the screen gets damaged some how and leaves an oil looking spot... sorry but here is a good thread on what i think your seeing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=428749&highlight=spot+screen
Oh wow/crap its times like this when I guess I'm glad I'm not a regular consumer but have this through work, so I'm sure they will replace it, if not they will buy me another. Should I even get another or is there something like this but better? I'm with ATT.
If you want a windows mobile powerhouse stay with the fuze... for sure... i have had mine since november when they first came out for at&t and mine runs and looks great... no screen problems or anything... ya and good thing its through your company
Okay so I have an htc fuze laying around as my spare phone and I've been slowly making it nicer and nicer, I replaced the stock keypad with the touch pro variant, then due to some scratches on the screen I ordered a screen and lcd and everything seemed to go smoothly until I put the phone back together.. The screen displays solid color images perfectly and text is crystal clear but all the graphics, especially gradients look really pixelated and messed up. I don't think the lcd is messed up since the text displays perfect, but I checked all the connections over and over.. Any suggestions?? :/

Were you able to resolve this?
Sounds like you purchased a new LCD. If so have you tried the old one?
Unfortunately the old lcd looked like trash and got thrown away by my girlfriend so I guess I'll have to order another one if I can't get it to display correctly.. I checked all the connections so many times, I just don't see how it could be the lcd when text is still crystal clear..
Hey,
I'm having this weird problem with my Touch Pro. I noticed it today, that my screen has three blue spots,,, I don't know what these spots are,,, Im thinking of dead pixels, but they are big.
any idea what caused this?
as soon as I have camera on my hand, I will show you the 3 blue spots,,,
I have the same problem, I got the phone like that off of ebay though, I'm guessing that its form pressing down too hard on the screen tho
A pic would be helpfull ...
Mine seems to have developed 2 of these. Kind of dull, faded spots, visible at certain angles when the screen is white?
I'm going with the "too much pressure on the screen" vote
Hey all, been having my touch pro for about a year and a half and it has been great so far. Up till today, when I was at work, i noticed this little blue dot on my screen, thought it was nothing and ignored it. The phone was working fine till about few minutes later, when I checked on it the screen just wouldn't respond. Note that everything else works, the buttons and keyboard work, the home clock keeps ticking, but yet the screen just would not do anything. However when the backlight dims (due to inactivity) and when i touch the screen, it goes back to full brightness (the usual) which means that it is still working. So what's going on and how would I go about fixing this?
It's possible something is pressing down on the screen continuously, do you have any snap on cases? Also, this blue dot, how big is it, and what is its shape? Is it a dead pixle? Perhaps the point of impact something hit the screen at to disable it's functionality. Have you tried a hard reset?
So an update to my situation. Can confirm that this is 100% not a software problem, but a hardware one. No cases on the phone, just a screen protector. The blue dot, more like blue patch has now become bigger. :S
When the screen is turned off, it looks like a patch of blue underneath the screen, and on a white background that patch is very white and bright.
I then removed my screen protector to see if it's just some ink stuck in there as I was getting quite desperate. The blue patch was still there, and is underneath the screen. I grabbed the screen protector and decided to use the sticky side of it to sort of remove the adhesive glue that was on the screen and voila, the blue patch dissapeared. And the screen was again useable.. But when I however press on the affected area, it will filled with the blue patch once again. I can redo this process a million time, but afterall, the phone is still not useable as a slight touch on the area and the screen will no be useable.
Any thoughts?
Sounds like the top layer of your screen is just worn out. The best fix is to replace it most likely. You could try using another screen protector or two to stiffen the top layer and see if that fixes it, but you'd probably lose sensitivity. That spot is caused because the film of oil between the top and bottom layer is non existant at that point, and both the top and bottom layers are literally stuck together. I believe the oil is suppose to prevent this.
After 2+ weeks, I just noticed light bleed (in total darkness) at the bottom left corner, corner of recent menu button. Anyone else getting light bleed?
You can only see it while the recent button light flashes on.
Not on a screen tough....
You talking about gap between screen and metal side (left corner)...yes at night I see light coming from there...we all got that.
Cheap ass samsung:victory::laugh:
Actually, I have it on the right side at where the curved glass meets the metal. Didn't notice it for the first week though which is weird honestly because I scrutinize my devices when I first get them. But yeah it's only a minor annoyance, not worth exchanging it.
Yes, the gap between the screen and the metal ring. Anyone Not have this issue?
I get led bleed.
When the green charging led is on and its really dark in the room. You can see the green bleeding under the black trim and onto the lcd.
Other then that i havent seen any bleeding.
I remember the white models of some of the samsungs phones had bad bleeding.

It was a fault with the fone i took it back to carphone warehouse and swoped for a black one rhanks for u help
Yeah ive heard quite a few people with the white one complaining of the bleed. I played with the white one in the AT&T store and saw the same thing. Thats why i went with thevplain ol' black. The white looks much better imo but i couldnt deal with the bleeding
white note edge
Yh samsung told me it was a fault so i took it back and got black i do think blsck is better the back is cheap feeling and the edge looks cheap to glad i got black now
I haven't seen any bleeding from the black Verizon Edge so far, at least from the screen to the home button area. Verizon has a cheap, but very awesome and good feeling case that covers the light bleed between the framework. I never noticed it in the 3 days before I got the case though. Has anyone noticed light bleed on their black Edge's so far?

Yeah I read your post about swapping them out. I originally wanted the white because it looked cleaner, but now that I have the black and after reading all the posts I'm so glad Verizon only has the black one available. I don't blame you, I wouldn't pay that much for something I wasn't completely happy with either.
