Hey i have this white dot on the middle of the screen . i mean its white on black backgrounds but not noticable on lighter colours . what could this be ?
I have this problem,I have sent my phone to HTC 5 times now and the problem is still here

Sounds like a stuck pixel. If it was dead it would be black.
There are various apps that are designed to attempt to fix the problem, by flashing the screen to create different levels of pixel activity. But I'm not sure if they will actually do anything.

I have a problem like this as well. It's not a stuck pixel, it looks more like a "smear" on the screen whose pixels won't get as dark as they are supposed to. The problem is most apparent on dark gray backgrounds. You know, the kind that's all over Holo. :/
Never tried to contact HTC about it since I figured it was my fault, but if other people here have exactly the same problem then it may be a more widespread problem.

It's still very hard too see it properly. Has it always been there?
It sort of reminds me of the first LCD TVs that were released that suffered from 'clouding' in the corners. Which could be 'massaged' out of the panel. Yet this is directly in the centre area if the panel. Or even reminds me the knuckle marks on my old Dell monitor (long MMORPG story) that look exactly like that. Damaged pixels that won't fill completely anymore.
I find it hard to imagine how this could happen without direct damaged (which is pretty much impossible in this scenario, without a damaged digitizer). Or without it being a manufacturing issue, prior or even during assembly.

Hmmm strange, I have the same problem since about 2 months. I thought it was my fault because I pressed the screen too hard or something. On my phone it's a dot, not a smudge.

Same here small light grey dot smack bang in the centre of the screen. Only noticeable on dark backgrounds.

Have you opened up the case of the phone at all? If you get something behind the screen it will push the center of it out and create exactly the issue you have.
Even if you haven't opened it up, something could be stuck back there. A big peice of dirt, a small plastic peice that broke up internally, or anything else.
If you have teken the device part, do it again and make sure it's clean behind the screen. If you haven't, send it back for a new one.

Im wondering if the Samsung Infuse 4G suffers the same issue with the Galaxy S2's screen issues..
1.) Yellow tinting
2.) Left side is darker than the right
3.) Huge color temperature swings from unit to unit
4.) Difference of white brightness
5.) Visible suction cup marks
6.) White blotches on the screen when a gray image is displayed
7.) Color banding
Any input is appreciated, pictures are also welcome especially if its the notification tray dropped down.
I personally have not had any of those issues that i can recall or that i can tell.
At the very very bottom of my screen on the Infuse there is a noticeable tearing or bending...whatever you want to call it. I have seen 4 with this small imperfection. Maybe it was a bad batch.

I think it is an intended effect. (bottom of screen) It's really noticeable when you scroll through text.
The issues the OP mentioned, I've seen none of.
It's clearly not an intended effect. It's only the bottom row of pixels anyway.
None of those other problems I have in the slightest.

I had a light spot on my first Infuse. It was only noticeable on dark gray backgrounds. Exchanged because of it and my second and third Infuses didn't have it.
Haven't noticed the other issues mentioned by the OP and I'm pretty particular about screens. Color balance is much better than my old Captivate.
@hwaters
I may just be seeing things but there also looks like a yellowish tint captured by the camera, would be you able to zoom out a bit on the photos something that shows the entire phone but not further away. Thanks!
For those who are willing to contribute pictures please post a picture of the notification tray dropped down with the full phone in view.
My camera was having focusing issues from farther away but I did take a few other pictures earlier today.
If there is some yellow tinting oh well. It may just be an issue with how they may the super amoled plus screens.
So check this out. I got a replacement phone from verizon about 2 weeks ago. After the first few days i noticed a slight discoloration in the top left side of the screen. You could only see if on a white screen, other than that it was pretty inconspicuous. However I was dissatisfied that my new replacement had this defect so I called and they promptly sent a new one with standard 5 day shipping!
So, as the week went on this weird spot that I can only compare to a grease stain on a piece of clothing, started to grow... every day it was a little bigger. It grew at a rate that was barley noticeable. I had to see what icon it was touching, and then compare that to its position the next day.
by last night (about a week later) it had grown to affect half of the screen. i assumed that it would eventually take over the enter screen and I would be left with a slightly shaded screen coloring.
when i woke up this morning, this is what it looked like

Its pretty much totally unusable. you can see from the picture that somehow the puzzle piece pattern burned into the screen (not sure how as that screen is never on for more than a few seconds, especially since it wasn't burned in last night and my phone sits on my nightstand and was not on).
Its like the screen 'ink' or whatever just totally failed.
anyway, i have the replacement already, but I wanted to share this weird story
the replacement phone is already listed on ebay and I will be upgrading to the HTC Rezound as soon as it comes out.
Definitely a faulty panel there.
Very strange to see it go that way, though. Pretty interesting picture.
BTW: These screens are not LCD, there's nothing like "Screen ink" in them. Each pixel is an array of 3 tiny LED lights (one Red, one Green, one Blue).

thats what I thought too. So what is causing it to "bleed" like that? by the way.. its only been a about 2 hours since i took that picture, and its almost entirely "blue". my guess is that in a few hours it will be completely failed
Probably just a bad run on the screen.
I'd be interested to see if there are more of them out there, since the panels are manufactured in large batches, so one defect should have several similar screens like it out there.
Could also be a fault somewhere else in the device, like maybe the display controller, and it's maybe overvolting the red and green LEDs, causing them to burn out much faster. (pure conjecture on my part)
I did just install ep3Ha on that the day I got it. wonder if its possible something went bad in the flash and toasted the screen, or is that even possible

doubt it, that looks like massive hardware fail
yeah, I don't think there's anything you could do software-wise that would do anything like that.
Is that a pressure crack? That's what it looks like.

no, this happened very very slowly. it looks like an LCD screen when you sit on it or step on it.. but no. since its not lcd it cant do that.
it took it about 7 days to get to this point.
I was talking to a colleague of mine who is an EE. He thinks it was a failure in the glue that holds the layers of the panel together. because of how it started, small and in 1 corner, it is similar de-lamination that can can happen in things like plywood. these screens are layered pieces of plastics and material that allows it to work as a screen. once it started to 'peel' apart, it was just a matter of time.
the screen slowly started to come apart until it reached a critical point. the result would be the same if you had the screen out of the phone and started to separate its layers.
seems to make sense to me, hes the EE, im just a physics major.. what do i know
I can hear the screen saying IIIIIMMMM MEEEEELLLLLTTTTTIIIINNNNNGGGGG

Thats suzks for you dude,,, let us know how it works out.. picture is way too big.
This is actually normal. Using a software such as Screen Filter and looking at a pure grey image will show the screen pattern pretty clearly. Very noticeable at lower brightness, not much of an issue otherwise.

nothing in particular. I first noticed while using Launcher 7, all the red tiles had a lot of striping. I'm talking about pure red #FF0000. The gray noise has always seemed minimal. I only noticed it while using MIUI or Gingerbread. I just hope they don't replace my screen with the S-LCD. the SAMOLED is still much better than the S-LCD

Although I cannot confirm this right away, I highly doubt replacing it for a S-LCD is as easy as plugging it in. Phones have to be cost effective, so the less time spent repairing them, the better. I don't think you'll have anything but a SAMOLED.
Well I just got it back.
And they didn't fix the issue
although they did replace my charge port and volume buttons.
So, not a complete loss

Looks about like mine, and for me it goes away after the boot is complete and the brightness is reset to a "normal" level.

Yea mine seems to go away after the boot as well, until I watch a movie or something that has the typical black bars on the top and bottom, then it's noticeable again...
same here
i also have a spot of light bleed on the upper right hand side that's fairly annoying.
i heard this can be cured by loosening one of the screws inside that holds the lcd to the glass.
it seems that the light is caused by pressure. i would love to hear from someone who has successfully opened the tf700 without breaking it LOL
im a DIY kind of guy but $500 + GLASS =
Just got mine yesterday. I noticed something like that on boot, but haven't had the time to grab my magnifying glass. This may be a quirk of the tablet. My razr has ugly black blobs when the brightness is way low and I'm in the dark. A bit annoying, but I'm over it.
That's fairly normal. It's not intentional, but light bleed happens on pretty much every device from any brand that uses LCD or LED screens. Not all infinities have it (Europe seems to have a higher quality standard than the US) but it is quite common worldwide.
Mine has some too. I went through like 5 returns for various reasons. From the July to October. They all had various degrees of light bleed.

Minor light bleed is normal on most LCD screens. You can put your TF700 and any Apple device side by side in bright ambient light, then enable IPS+ and maximum brightness on your TF700, and ask the Apple fanboy what's wrong with *their* screen.
(The TF700's display is one of the brightest out there - see http://www.anandtech.com/show/6036/asus-transformer-pad-infinity-tf700t-review/2)
Mine has even worse bleeding, do you guys believe I can ask a RMA after 4 months?
Would it make sense or they would send me back my tablet in the same or even worse condition?
Thanks
I wouldn't take much that any Apple "Fanboy" has to say about any Android product. They are, after all, called Fanboys for a reason. A bit of light bleed is normal and it happens even to iPad's. My wife and son both have one, one of the two has a light bleed very similar, so it's not just Androids or the Infinity.
Light bleed during booting up is perfectly normal, light bleed while you're watching movie/video is not normal. You can throw a custom bootanimation on yours so that during boot up you won't see the it.

Yes, I had an invite. Anyone can help?
Imho it could be one of three things
a) a defect in the screen: rather unlikely based on the shape
b) glue not fully dried --> i'm sceptical it could cause this. You may want to try an UV lamp to be sure though, no harm done.
c) actual dust/air under the screen. Only an RMA could fix that
