while i was playing my phone was in my pocket and i fell down while playing and my body weight came on my phone and this caused my phone displays right upper edge to develop a permanent effect as if pressure is applied on it as if it is pressed it is only visible when my screen is too dark or black it shows a greyish tint so my question is that has the display been damaged a lot i mean will it go worse in long run or it will stay in this condition until something miserable happens again so is this a thing to worry a lot or i just need to be careful from now

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.
Hi to all again!
I just wanted to ask you a question about the display light: in a dark room, when you turn on the display and the soft touch buttons will turn on too, I notice a little bit of filtering light in the thin "junction" between the glass and the thin "glass border" of the display...only in correspondance with soft touch lights...
This can be noticed if you look at the phone "from above", I mean not in front of it, but if looked from top to bottom...I just can't take good photos, 'cause there's a very little filtering light...but here's a try, just to let you understand where's the right place, see the attached photo...
Is that normal?
Normal? No. It's a minor build defect. Will they do something? I doubt it. =/
Hmm...I don't know if I have to send it back for this...but I'M afraid that another one can have another problem...
I have a Grey version...
It's hard to compare with your picture, but I can see some light shining from the edges of my phone too. A thing which bothers me a bit more is that the light from the capacitive buttons shines trough on the screen, so it isn't completely black at the bottom

On my phone is only on a part of the thin line (the "connection" between the real display glass and the "border" glass) below the soft touch button...you can notice it only in dark rooms obviously, when the soft button light is on.
GLUE Strip
the display is glued to the glass as I read on engadget.com. I assume at this point there is no glue there. Fixing will make it worst. I would say live with it

Then yes I have the same, but I also see it on the top edge when viewing web pages or something white.

I think I'll go that way after all...I just don't want to imagine turn back to "the waiting game (from one to another)"...
A sort of bad luck has taken me perhaps...I've found a stuck pixel in the top middle part of the display...seen only with grey gradients or with some other colors, invisible with clear black and clear white colors...
Woke up this morning, check texts on my G which works fine, pocket it (front left pocket, screen facing my leg, nothing else in there, loose fitting pants), go to work, check it about an hour later, can't undo my screen lock, touch screen is acting all wonky, I'm not even touching it and I keep seeing wrong input over and over... so I turn it off and back on, but I still can't use the touch controls on the left part of the screen (the left and center row of the lock screen doesn't respond, the right most one does, and the very bottom emergency calls does).
So I carefully inspect my phone, there is not a single mark on the screen, bezel, back-plate... the phone is in pristine condition, I take good care of my electronics (or so I thought). I start checking the screen against a light at various angles and on the bottom, slightly under the lock screen dots, I see a very thin line under the glass but above the screen, starting at one edge and going about halfway across. Like the touch sensor is partly cracked, but nothing else is?
So I was wondering, does this count as physical damage? I don't see how it could. As I said, the phone is pristine and I can't imagine how I could have damaged the touch sensor without leaving a mark on the glass, bezel or screen.
But I'm still worried that Futuretel, which is where the Motorola people are telling me to send the phone will call it physical damage and have me fork over 150$ for a repair I could do myself for 50~60.
And I would do it, had I actually broken my phone... But I didn't, so I don't feel I should pay for this at all.
Hey guys! what should I look out for after I finally get my S6 before the return window closes? Mainly on the hardware side as there is always the chance that the software gets fixed.
Alright guys! Lets start trouble shooting. i just got my S6 in topaz blue(MAYBE THIS IS IMPORTANT HERE as in: -> it's a lighter colour). and immediately i noticed a few bad bad things.
The softkeys do not light pure white but more of a beige hue(dirty white).Additionaly!! The silhouette of the lit light is shifted two times within the glass. What I mean is, that the conture of the lit softkey button can also be seen right above and below the normal place where the softkey lights up... so if it is lit I can see the symbol a total of three times. Depending on the angle of view on of the reflections(?) within the glass disappear. The notification LED has also the same kind of light shifting effect
The whole Metal-Bezel on the front feels quite sharp in comparision to the back side of it.
The Display has a slight green hue at the bottom of the display(almost the same color of the phone)
I am able to see iregularitys in the colour layer of the bezel beneath the glass on the top part of the phone. this can only be seen if a lightsource shines on it.
And lastly: OMG is the phone slippery! I think this comes from the fact the the only part which gives the phone hold on the side opposite the palm is the small edge side(opposed to the end of the bezel + a rounded back cover of some phones(Lg G2... so good to hold)).
What's the best way to get rid of yellow spots? Will i just have to wait a couple of days in the hope the glue is completely dry? Or will i have to keep a white background on maximum brightness for a long period of time, or show some UV light/sunlight directly to the screen for a couple of hours? Or will i have to open the screen again, but what would i need to be looking and doing then exactly?
When you put the phone in the freezer for 15 minutes the spots are almost gone, but they reappear after the display gets warmer. I don't think dryer would have any benefit here, or will it?
If you use white background, the spots are visible like burning-like, when you use pitch black background you see this "black eating" effect on the corners strongly that wasn't as noticeable before the screen swap. The display itself is OEM original, and the first swap was successful, didn't result in any yellow spots.
I read that it was a common thing for iPhone 4s back in the days as the glue wasn't dry enough from the assembly line, but after a couple of days the spots went away.
it looks like this:
