Is this normal? - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone, this has been bothering me for some time now, actually since the first time i turned on my device.
As you can see from the images below, the first screenshot is of my lockscreen. On the right side you can see a huge white distorted image. So i was wondering if this was normal. It looks as though someone sat on my screen and mashed all the colors out making the right side color look washed out. Actually the whole screen looks washed compared to the homescreen.
Then the second image is my actual homescreen and it appears normal, so what gives? I have never seen this before.
Lockscreen:

Honestly could just be an artifact caused the background you use. Try a different one.

All black image. The same white spots. Its intresting to note that i have a setup where i swipe to unlock (the ripple affect) then it goes to the secutity screen where i do my pattern to unlock. This aswell shows no white spots and pictures are normal.

There are actual screenshots right, not pictures taken of the screen? If it was a hardware defect it wouldn't show up in screenshots because to the software it would seem as if the screen was fully black. I would guess it's part of the "water" effect.

Yes, they are screensots taken using the device. Images do seem lower quality in the water screen compared to the homescreen, so i guess its just supposed to be that way.

I still vote for haunted.

Yep, same problem here.

Well I don't see any white spots in the supplied images.

I see it. Odd. But i have to zoom in to see it. I also see gray diagonal lines separating with a space in between. Looks haunted though for sure

Mate, the whole screen has that pattern, it's just that there's a heap of white writing on the left to distract from it. Look again....

Okay good to know im not the only one.
Oh and btw what makes my tablet look haunted? I choose the wallpaper as a demonstration cause you can really see the white spots pop out

Same here. I saw some brown spots, but that was just tiny chocolate bits on my screen (I need to clean it BADLY...)

[Q] Another type of screen defect? (Not light bleed)

I have quite a bit of light bleed on my transformer but what bugs me the most is a spot that is noticeably brighter in the middle of the screen. It's noticeable under normal lighting situation when the screen is showing dark colors.
Anyone else has this problem? Or am I just the only unlucky one?
[Q][Survey] Is your Transformer still working?
greetz
is this screen bleed on both side of the screen. sorry about poor picture

Luckily I don't have this problem ( I do have light bleed) but I was reading thru the warranty and Asus explicitly say that you may get 'white dots' and 'black dots' on your screen. Basically they mean dead pixels.
Read thru the warranty, see if your spot fits the description.

I have the same issue. No light bleed but an annoying 1/2 inch blob 2 inches away from the left-hand side & dead centre in the screen. It is only really visible on on dark screens and appears milky white. I am thinking about returning it to eBuyer but they do not have any stock in at the moment.
Regards
StalkS
I have 3 lighter spots, btw they are deffinately not dead pixels.
Only realy show up on dark backgrounds and when brightness is really high such as when playing Galaxy on Fire 2.
I would describe as some kind of mark on the underside of the glass between the touchscreen and the IPS screen if that makes sense
I don't think its that bad that I would go through the hassle of an RMA tho.
Sooo.......
Im having what I think is the same problem with the spots in the middle of the screen. Has anyone tried sending it back? I want to know what to expect whether there is any information I should hold back etc. . .
Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.
(also I got mine from bestbuy and I think its already been 2weeks which is past their normal return period. I also have put a custom rom (revolver) on mine and I haven't really looked into reverting it back to stock. Does anyone have experience with the stock process?)
Thanks again and sorry for the long post. Cheers

Time to change something different....
Look at my previous white sensation and now turn to red even though only the screen protector but with that mercury jelly case, I think it is perfect for now!
I am thinking to get another color for it....they are very nice!
I bought from this seller
http://www.ebay.com/itm/HTC-Sensati...275804?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item564ca8269c
i like the look of the white screen protector. How tricky is it to place it in the perfect position?
Yeah that white does look amazing. Where would I be able to get just the screen protector as I hate using cases on my phones.

It is a screen protector with color surrounded...
There is no tricky way to do it, only need to wash your hand before and in a dust free environment when applying it
It's simple and it's much more easy than some other clear one that i have before
Also his one is anti glare and fingerprint

Thanks Man, i just see that.

Can't decide which s6 to keep.

Got a new phone sent to me from Verizon, a gold one and it's perfect except the home button is loose and rattles when I softly tap it. My other s6 doesn't do this but my other s6 has a couple scratches on the aluminum and the screen isn't as bright/whites look more yellowish. This new one they sent me though, whites look much more white and more bright. Idk if I could get them to send me a 3rd new one. Both have very minimal pink tint on screen. Haven't had a chance to test out the battery on the new one they sent me but my original one always gets 5+ SOT. Any advice? I hate that's it's this hard to get a perfect s6.

You can see how much whiter/brighter whites are on the new one they sent me.

Tbh I'd send both back and get a 32gb white straight s6.
I'd send them both back. Some people on here don't seem to be bothered by the loose home button. Personally, it drove me mad and it felt cheap. I ended up getting the store to keep opening boxes until we found one without any problems. All of the S6's had the loose button, so I ended up with an S6 Edge.

You probably won't notice the tint unless you hold it next to another phone. Having said that, I would personally return the one with the loose home button because that would drive me nuts. Especially considering the rest of the phone is such an upgrade from Samsung's previous plastic phones.
The home button shouldn't be lose. Mine is solid. Return it if you can.
You'll notice most color hues disappear if you increase the brightness, that doesn't bug me at all, and most AMOLED displays have this problem in one way or another.

Well, I definitely have to decide between these 2 now because Verizon won't send me or a 3rd new phone. They said it would be a refurbished now. Lame. What bugs me more... Slightly more yellow whites and a couple scratches on bezel that a case hides but a perfect home button(but knowing they are there bugs me) or whiter whites, no scratches but a loose button.

Which Color did you Order :)

I ordered Midnight Black from T-mobile last night. What color did you order?
Orchid Grey S8 via TMo on Twitter this morning.
Midnight Black...
the black is the best, but it catches finger prints like hell....don't know yet...i have to see them in real life to choose
Midnight Black, not that I'll get to see it much when in a case. My last 3 phones have been Gold and I'm so fed up with it. It'll make a nice change.
I chose black but was tempted by the grey. I just didn't like how it looked purple from some angles.

Midnight black
I went with black on Sprint. I wanted the coral blue but they only have black,grey and silver(I think it was) available. It will be covered with a Batman case anyway so I guess the color isn't really an issue.
I wanted Coral Blue, so I didn't order anything. First I want to see the other colors in person, if it's anything like the Note 7 the pictures will not do the colors justice.

That's very true. I almost immediately had buyer's remorse when I saw the blue in person... BUT with that said I always fall back to wishing I had black.
Went with black, it was a pita to find cases that matched my s7 titanium.
I don't use cases and my hands get sweaty in the summer so I didn't want black. Silver looks kinda plain. So I get Grey.
I went with black, I wanted the silver but I didn't like how the front bezels were black and not silver all around.

You won't see the coral blue anyway because if you know what is good for you, you will use a case and you won't see anything but black color. Lame.

Well there are such a thing as clear cases. But me, I never use case and I've never broken a phone either. Some of us just aren't that clumsy (or like me-super clumsy but somehow manage to always save the phone from damage).
I went with black but I'll end up throwing it in a case or rocking a dbrand skin

I get why the front of all colors is black - to hide the gazillion sensors and make the glass look even more infinite. But that means all but the black phones are two-tone. Purple/Black, Blue/Black, etc. My first Note7 was black and I ordered it because I liked the monochromatic look. My second Note7 was Blue Coral and I missed the black one after a couple of weeks of use. Samsung took care of my remorse by taking my phone away completely. I went with the S8+ in black to again get back to the monochromatic look. The "gotcha" with such a dark color is that the hairline scratches on the glass back accumulated over time will be much more noticeable than with lighter colors.

White 2s and black bezels

Guys I have one question if someone of you owns white mi mix 2s. Does those black bezels around the display annoy you? Thank you for your answer
Nope, they are really really small. Im glad that i went with the white Version.
Just watch a video on YouTube.

The black bezel isn't that thin as invisible,but I am find with that.One reason I prefer the white version is that the black ones have a golden lining around the camera bump(white MIX 2 has it too),which in my eyes isn't that appealing.

So you got the white 2s with black bezel?
Could you provide a picture?
I want to buy the white one too, but I m afraid it will disturb when watching movies (as I am used to a black phone).
So this would be a nice back up option!

Now I understand
I always thought the OP talks about buying a screen protection with black glas around the display
It doesn't bother me. I notice it, but it doesn't bother me. I still think the phone is gorgeous!
Guys, this is how it looks like with black screen protector. Actually it's pretty fine.
