Just got my Note 3 and I'm loving it. However, I recently noticed upon closer examination of my screen that there is a permanent smudge mark that ceases to go away. It only appears when there is a large build-up of normal smudges or when I breathe on the screen.
Here is what it looks like:

Anyone else have this issue? To check, just breathe onto the screen creating that fog-like cover.
From what I have gathered, it is "oleophobic screen coating" wearing off but I have had my Note 3 for four days so it has not gotten that much usage.
I don't have that problem. Does this only happen when you have smudges or breathe on it? If so then I would suggest a screen protector either tempered or film.

Once I wipe the screen of all smudges, it goes away. But as soon as there are more smudges it becomes visible.
Is it worth exchanging?
If you are within you return policy date then yes I would. I'm the type of person if I knew it was there even though I don't see it it would bother me lol.

Mine seems OK, I'd suggest bringing it back also. If it is the coating of the screen vanishing this fast then that's a build issue. - could also cause weaknesses to the screen any time further down the line.

I have the exact same issue. My smudge is alot bigger. Its horizontal a little above center of the screen and about an inch long. It drives me crazy. I can wipe my screen completely smudge free and if I breath on it, there it is! It is starting to exceed the limits of my OCD medication!! :banghead:
Edit: Mine was like this since day one and noticed it about 10 minutes after purchase.

I have never seen anything like that before. If that was my phone i would be seeking a replacement ASAP!!!!
i have the exact same issue here, except the location, which makes it interessting:
mine is exact over the place of the indicator LED, and goes up to the top in a "U" form!
and i do not know why, but i did not encountered it before. could the light (and the minimal
temperature) from the led has something to do with this?
Probably is the coating worn off. I had something similar on my old phone. I ended up polishing the entire screen with a little bit of white toothpaste to remove coating elsewhere and give it a better appearance.
Wow I didn't think there we some many cases like this. What the hell is Samsung doing to these screens?
Reading this thread. .. It's just unbelievable that you guys haven't gone and got a replacement. No way should you be having any of these issues on an expensive flagship phone. Take it back is all I'm going to say. I haven't got it. ... If I breath on it the fog disappears Just as Fast as it came. ..

I agree. I would of taking this piece of crap back. I have already had one replacement. These phones man I swear.
I hope they replace everybody's phones. We pay to much money for crap like that to happen.

HELLO, WINDOWS PHONE
I've walked on the top corner of my note 4. Since then, a stain appeared ont the screen. That stain keeps growing covering up the display day after day. It is dark at the center, blue in the midlle and purple at its ending side. What must I do to remove it? Please, can anyone advice me.

So, I've noticed the ''beatsaudio'' logo on the back of my One S is slowly disappearing. Kinda small detail, but still not nice to see that after only a couple of months, the phone shows (small) quality error like this.
Who else has this?
Jason M: Hi, thank you for contacting HTC Support, I am looking in to your query now.
Jason M: Sorry to hear that. This would be classed as user wear & tear, and not a warranty issue, sorry to say.
Jason M: I have literally no other reports of such an incident. This would not be a warranty cover.
Jason M: The full conditions of your warranty can be found at - http://www.htc.com/www/help/warranty-statement/
Me: Too bad. Maybe I'll see if I can rmove the logo completely myself.
Jason M: Thanks.

My fiancee's is completely removed and mine just has the beats part removed.
I removed it with a metal 3.5-6.5mm audio jack converter, on the grey version. Definitely not recommended on the black version. The grey version seems resistant to any kind of scratching, whereas the black version.. well, you know the issues with the black version.
Just got a refurbished one a couple of days ago since my first one had WiFi problems. And now I'm noticing my logo is disappearing . Never noticed till now. What a shame.

Good, the beats logo is stupid. I wish mine would fade away too.
I hope mine disappears, it's an eyesore to an otherwise beautiful phone
I've had my S for a month now, and only part of the o in "audio" is missing. I usually use a case.

Mine either. Grey and it doesn't even scrape off. At least it's greyscale and not red. Odd, on my MT4G, the "non slip" back of the battery cover would scrape off with a fingernail but the paint on this logo seems impervious to removal.

Not at all. A metal audio jack will do on the grey version without leaving any scratch. I used much force doing so, as well. Make sure to test it first: slightly try to scratch the back of the device with the jack. If you see a "scratch" appearing, wipe it of with your finger. It's only metal dust from the jack. (as long it's not a true gold jack or anything, just a regular lightweight metal.) If you don't see any real scratch as result (if you actually did get a scratch it would be barely noticeable, if not pushed too hard), it's pretty safe to scratch of the logo.

I was thinking maybe some goo gone would do the trick. I once used a common household cleaner to clean my toaster and it wiped the Hamilton logo right off. I was like wtf but come to think of it, it may have been a mixture of ammonia/water or 409.
Sadly my phone has been dropped a few times before the otterbox so it’s got a few minor scratches on the edge and the plastic pieces themselves are pretty dinged up.
I actually just scratched the rest of the text off with my nail.
I kinda like the logo. Mine hasn't come off. Only used ceaseless for about a week. Then I put a case on. Had it since late june

So I just got the S3 like 2 days ago.. i told myself i wouldnt really take it out the house til I got some protection for it but figured hanging around the house with it wouldnt be bad .. I ordered a rubber skin for it 2 days ago and waiting for it in shipping. Cousin comes over today for a quick visit today than leaves. I took the phone outside with me in my pocket, not thinking about the jersey shorts I was wearing (really slick material) I crouch to pet my dog and it slides out my pocket and hits the ground.. just a bit of the bottom right corner screen is cracked, i think it wouldnt be too noticeable with the case (once that arrives) but it is annoying to have this done to a new phone. I see they have replacement screens on ebay, so Im thinking of just ordering one there. Irony was that I was just telling my cousin he should get a case for his iphone for these very incidents.
My S3 is pebble blue, so this gives me the chance to convert it to white if I want huh. Ive done stuff before like taking my zune mp3 player apart to swap a bigger battery in it, and always mess with computers (modded my laptop). Question is how difficult will it be to swap the screen plate?

Ouch Idk if you can just remove the front panel but you might need to mess with the lcd panel. I would look up a video on youtube.
If it is functional I would say wait. The more use you get out of it, the more other parts of the screen will get stressed, could break. The later you replace it, the better the value for you. Again, only if it works and you aren't too annoyed at the appearance. If you do go for it, maybe this might help:
Thanks for the replies, I am researching it now.. I could probably live with it, once the rubber case is here It would cover up the edges of it and it doesnt go into the actual screen too much. But it is annoying ,
But i see alot of replacement glass on ebay that dont have the lcd screen with it , I wonder how the heck are they selling those if from what Im reading its all one piece with the lcd and touchpad.

his vid really makes it look possible since when he got the glass/digitizer off, the screen was separate , but i cant tell if the lcd got damaged when he took the digitizer off since he used a screwdriver and didnt put much care into it since he said was already broken.

That looks so sketchy and unprofessional. It scares me.
i know the phone is fairly new so replacing just the glass/digitizer seems like no one on the net has experience documented replacing just that.

Hello everyone.
I'd like to ask you to take a closer look to the gaps between screen and chasis, do you have in some places around light when the screen is on? You must look at this in dark place.
Sent from my D6603 using XDA Free mobile app
No light from the gap. I just measured as I'm sending mine back, I have no gap on the left and a rather big one on the right side. It's 0.25mm at any point and 0.30 mm at the widest.
In a another Forum 5 user has the same problem with the light in the gap.
I have 2 gaps in my 3rd replacement.
One either side of the bezel at the bottom. To me that seemed like an obvious place where the phone would allow water in. I submerged it in water for 15 mins, and yep, it allowed water into the device. The back of the phone now makes a clicking/cracking sound when even slight pressure is applied, presumably the glass sticking to the internals.
I won't ever be buying or using a Sony phone ever again. Their quality control is non existant.
Either gonna be a note 4 or nexus 6 next I think. I'd advise people to keep away from the Z3 unless you can be bothered with constant replacements till you get a good one, just like you need to with any Apple product.
For a £500 phone its a joke.

I can confirm that I have a little gap I the top right corner between the glass and metal frame, closest to micro sd card slot. A little light does bleed from this gap, does anyone think that this will affect the waterproofing of the phone? With all the other problems people have mentioned I'm worried about sending for a replacement and getting a phone with more problems. Other than that small issue my z3 is without any other issues.

Try with a pressure test using cpu-z. Check the thread about a failed waterproofing test in general section. I wrote there too
My screen seems evenly set but I have light bleed all along the right side of the frame with intervals in between. I took picture with my sister's GS4, it looks worse in real life than the pics.
Should I get a replacement?

Yes you should. I bought a z3 two weeks ago, same problems (light bleed, gaps....)... I sent it back... Now, I'm waiting for good news about that, and hoping, with new batches, Sony can solve those problems
I managed to get cross shipping though they are on backorder at TMO, sending my old one tomm itself. They wanted to charge $50 restocking at first lol. By the way you cannot exchange at a store for pre-orders, even if done at a store.
Damn! My Z3 also seems to have this gap!
I just posted a thread on how my phone got water damaged, I'm beginning to think that gap may be responsible for what happened.
Any pics of the light bleed? Have you seen mine?
I have some minor light bleed along the left side of my device. It is only visible when I turn up the brightness to maximum. I was afraid to water test my phone because of this bit of light bleed but my girlfriend decided to dunk my phone anyways -_-. "you paid for a water proof phone it better be water proof!" Can't argue with that. Dropped it into a bowl of water and brought it back out pretty quickly. No issues yet.
Yup I can confirm the gap.I've also tested phones waterproofing But there is no harm

Please dont take that as me being a ****, I just wanted to be certain. My brother in law was complaining about the poor quality of photos on his Note camera for a year until I noticed he didn't peel back the plastic. Nothing personal, but Ive seen it before.
That looks to me to be the same problem Samsung had with their 'Touch of Color' line of TV's. Somehow the color and glass failed to bond correctly and you would see a peel effect between the bezels on the TV. You certainly have a defect there and if possible should have it replaced. If your problem is the same as the TOC tv's then eventually when that peeling progresses there will be nothing bonding your glass to the frame.
It may have caused by subjecting a black phone to heat like on a car dashboard on a sunny day.

Similar Problem
Hello All,
I know this is a late response to your previous threads but I'm just experiencing the same problem and wanted to know what ultimately happened when the phone was taken back to the provider? Was it fixed, was it replaced under warranty?
Mine too. Looks exactly the same
Same problem. Just started looking around to see if others were experiencing the same issue.
same here. only for is left down corner.
Dame here on two whithe S6. First I thought it was by heat but this happened to me after my phone fell and hit the upper left corner on floor. It was using protective case but there were damage on aluminum frame and the white plastic of screen glass started peeling off.
Same issue with an S6 I've owned for a couple years. Screen is peeling under the glass on the top left of the device as seen in other photos. AT&T will not help because the device is out of warranty, and when I asked Samsung to cover this defect in materials/craftmanship :
Samsung has temporarily suspended out of warranty repairs due to current business conditions.

had something similar in my s7, probably by dropping it, or overheating issues,, however,, i had something with my usb port and went to samsung care center to fix it,,... they fixed the phone, and replaced the lcd and glass and mentioned ( color peeling issue ), and they fixed everything on the warranty, so don't worry, they even fixed it in less than a day, .. hope that helped out
For those who have this problem : your phone has been missed in front of the sun or a powerful light.
THis is an UV glue.

some people have got it warrantied it also happens on the note 5 horribly some have had to try many times before warranty it is a defect by manufacturer
same issue peeling of from the inside on the upper left corner.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G, i have left on all the original coverings and added a Spigen Neo Hybrid case which i had for my S10+... i clean my device weekly and it seems that despite it being in a case and screen protected etc. the paint along the bottom of the screen (where the screen meets the bottom) appears to have chipped off along the edge. Has anyone else had this kind of issue with theirs, its not been dropped or anything... pretty annoyed that my black phone has a nice shiny silver chip out of the bottom... I have a Galaxy Watch that has been around quite a bit and has stood the test alot better than this £1200 phone protected by cases and covers... quite disappointed...

Sounds like a manufacturing defect ie improperly prepped metal
If your within any relevant cooling off period then send it back for a refund or replacement.
If they question the chip explain what's happened and see what they say.
Be prepared for them suggesting it's user caused however

All along the bottom edge is definitely a manufacturer defect. Of course I assuming you don't use MEK to clean your screen
One concern is if the damage goes below the glass it will breach the seal and may allow water, moisture and dust to get inside.
If that's the case it should to be replaced.

I had something similar to what your describing happen on my s10 and s20. For some reason I've always had better luck with the Notes. Would return the S series until I finally got one that was solid.

Result, I finally got 5 minutes to nip into the o2 shop and ask for their opinion, they told me to contact samsung... so I did a samsung chat, who then told me to call samsung, after 4 attempts at getting through to the right people they then told me to call O2... so I did an O2 chat and after being transferred 3 times and arguing the fact my phone was still within the 30 day period they have agreed to swap it... wonder why I put off contacting anyone ?

Yeah It was difficult to describe to as its silver on black its standing out like a sore thumb to me... considering it was under protection too... I have not tried to overplay how big it is to anyone I have mentioned it too, and most people would probably move on with their lives, but I have a bit of obsessive compulsion to keep my devices looking new and this happening through no fault of my own has been driving me mad
Good to hear you achieved a satisfactory.
In the Uk its the seller of the phone that applies the warranty so it was right to contact o2.

The image isn't that good plus no stereoscopic vision on it.
Looks like impact damage but could have happened during production or assembly.
Doesn't look like the case seal is compromised.
I be inclined to send it back especially if I knew it wasn't caused by me. That's a lot of down time though.
If the case seal is intact ie it's a clean nick with no hairline fractures extending under the screen, your call.
If it's covered by the case, you seldom see it.
When you eventually have it serviced you could have the frame replaced but Samsung certainly won't cover it then.
Meh, I feel your pain
I have same issue! Top left corner, bottom left corner, and in between those 2 corners paint is peeling off. it's 2 month old phone, never dropped, always in my hands... Damn it's 1400eur phone with most quality issues...
