HI Guys,
Just bought my Galaxy S8+ and unluckily, i have come across some color spots and grain spots on my Galaxy S8, which is visible in the Dark.
Kindly find attached the pictures, i have taken in the dark with another mobile and help me to analyze is this a real defect that i should worry about or is it same to all of you.
If yes, I' am gonna take it to the service center and let them do a refund or exchange with a proper one!
Feeling disappointing !

Is this a joke?
Hi There,
This is not a joke, this is of concern.!
Kindly check if you have same device and let me know if you face similar issues with the reference to above-mentioned color spots.
I dont see anything mate, sorry.
Hey Mate,
Difficult to see indeed. But is it there, can't screen it better as this is all in done in dark room where light is switched off.
Please also ensure to use the same THEME/WALLPAPER as Samsung has its Default. Mostly it is visible on this theme.
If nothing then it means it is a problem of my S8+ and i have to return or exchange it.
Those screen spots are your time/date widget and your edge UI tab. On the power menu you simply get a opaque image of whatever is was on your screen beforehand. I've been staring at these pics for 10 minutes all up now and I honestly reckon you're over thinking it. Put the microscope away and enjoy the phone bud!
I don't see it clearly. Maybe its a burn-in issue? Nahh, it's too early to tell. Try changing your screen resolution if it's still there.
Thanks guy for your encouraging messages
I have changed display and it is still same, however what i did is that i have change Theme and it has better results now. I need to ensure i am wrong and not overthinking of it too much. Hence i have taken this to the shop where i bought it and they confirmed the same. Gonna take it to the repair service and let them check from their end.
In case this will be defect, Samsung needs to really worry about this!
It's native blur
Is it all same at your end ?

Your post is really confusing and I can't tell if you're trolling. In the first picture you posted, you literally circled two UI elements (a clock and two icons) and then said they are "grain spots." They aren't "grain spots." It's literally the exact same clock and two icons shown in your second picture, but they are blurry because (1) you opened the shutdown menu, which blurs whatever is in the background, and (2) you made it even blurrier by taking a blurry picture. Seriously, what are you trying to say with your first picture?
In the second and third pictures, I don't know what you're trying to circle. If the issue goes away when you apply another theme, I'm guessing you are seeing variations that are inherent to the actual wallpaper itself.
Finally, what do you mean by "I have changed display." Do you mean the wallpaper? Or do you mean the digitizer itself? Or do you mean the phone as a whole? If it's either of the latter two, then the problem is with the wallpaper that you're using.
If you're talking about the blotches on say, this power menu, they are all normal, part of the blue view.
Hi Guys,
I have checked two other phones as well. All of them had similar Grains visibility in the dark area/with no light.
It is impossible to take pictures in the dark without flat and make sure it is visible.
Anyhow, i am gonna keep observing and see if this blotches will increase. By Changing display, i meant i have change SCREEN RESOLUTION from the highest to the standard one and still it has similar results.
Last but not least, i have change theme and the issue is more or less gone.
Mine is really bad. I haven't seen this since the Galaxy s2 TMobile variant.
The whole top right corner is red as well. Sure the update helps mask it, but with blue light filter turned on, it's there.
They assume to prevent this from further update which is going to be patched soon

I find a strange ring on the gray background, such as the background of the notification interface.
The ring can only be seen in dark circumstance and it won't appear on the backgound in any other color. I've run some screen test software to ensure this strange problem.
Is there anyone else found this problem? How does it comes?
You can see the ring in the pic. I turned the light off when took the pic

Is it possibly burn in? Many amoled screen owners have burn in, including me and hundreds of other nexus one owners. Is there something circular that stays in that location on your screen all the time?
It could be the wallpaper?
Yes if your wall paper has a circle in that location, that guaranteed that's it. These amoled screens do not like static images in one location, burn in is very common.

I'm sure that it is not cause by burn in, becasue I only use the nexus default live wall paper and none of my apps have a circle in that place.
Like I said, the most strange thing is I can't see this circle in any other background except the gray one.

I have the very same ring here, also only visible in dark environments. Looks like they are using vacuum cups to handle the display glass ...

ja, I also guess that is caused by the way of handle the screen.
BTW, your Nexus S is i9020 or i9023? It seems that the Nexus S sold in Germany is i9023.
If your device is i9023, than it will prove that the problem can be found in both Super Clear LED and Super AMOLED (my device is Super AMOLED).
I have that to.
But I only see it in the notification bar. I think its suppose to be there....

It's a i9020 imported from UK.
Did you ever figure this out? I have the exact same problem, my ring is the same size, but a different location
so how do we get rid of it???
I've noticed that when using my Skyrocket camera indoors, especially during the day, that there seems to be a slightly reddish hue around the center of the photo. This is noticeable in the display while I'm viewing the scene, and in the final photo. I am using auto white balance. I also notice that when I view a scene under incandescent lights using auto or incandescent w/b, the center has a greenish tint while the surrounding area is slightly reddish.
The following photo of the off white wall was taken in the early afternoon with ambient daylight. I was wondering if others with a Skyrocket have noticed the same thing. I just want to try to figure out if this is a normal condition with this phone before I go back to the AT&T store to demand an exchange. Thanks.

That wasn't Kool-Aid, that was wine. Lol.
After doing some experimentation, I have discovered that the light pollution from my LCD TV and my PC monitor in a room with ambient daylight seems to be the culprit here. I am somewhat of a photography buff and understand the effect of different types of light on digital photography, so I tried turning my monitor and TV off, and the reddish tint disappeared. My real cameras don't have this problem, but I guess the camera on this phone isn't quite up to the task of properly adjusting to different light sources at the same time. Anyway, I'll just have to be aware of this whenever I take photos indoors.
I'm still interested in hearing about your results, though. Thanks.
Oops, spoke too soon. I tried it again this morning and got the same red splotch. Maybe the lighting was different earlier. Anyway, I did some more searching leaving "Skyrocket" out and came up with several threads about this in the Galaxy S2, and other forums. Seems to be a common problem with the white balance in a lot of phone cameras, so I guess I'll just live with it.
reddish hue in middle of scene in camera
Sorry to bring up an old post, but I recently purchsed this S2 Skyrocket and have seen the same issues. I was about to call AT&T for an exchange, but could I be safe to say, i just need to adjust white balance?
There has been no other replies so either you and I are the only ones and need an exchange or others are just not replying.
Hope others can chime in.
Thanks!
Hello,
I have a problem with my screen. It is there since I can remember, but with the grayish interface it is really starting to get annoying. I'm wondering if anyone has had the same. It is just a white "dot" with a longer, lighter stripe. Mostly visible on gray backgrounds, but also on black/other dark colors.
Some pictures:

You might want to show it to the service center, they might get your screen replaced.

That is the problem. In Holland we do not have service centers. If I want to have it fixed I will have to send it to HTC.
Someone has at least an idea what it is or how to describe it to HTC?
Thanks.

hi, i think if u write them a mail and attach those pics there will be no need for in-depth description. just tell them since when u have that and how it started to appear.

I sure that that isn't a defect screen, if it was then it should be all black, and not have the statusbar shown. I was thinking, maybe if you got try to hook it up to your TV, with an HDMI, and see if it works that way.
But it could be the a bad download of the rom.

Thanks but your missing the point slightly. The screen works fine, but on darker backgrounds there is a white spot with a stripe in the middle as can be seen clearly I think.

Oh, my bad Then yeah it looks like a defect to me. You should send it back
Good luck.
Did you find out what was the problem with your screen? My Sensation has developed the exact same thing, right there in the middle of the screen.
I am deciding wether I can live with it or if I should try my luck with a replacement from T-Mobile (a refurb). If it's something that could get worse (my guess is yes) then it's going back for sure.
My Note 10.1 is having a weird issue with the colours on the screen. Basically one day it started displaying the sort of screen corruption and visual artifacts you normally get when you overclock a video card too much or your SLI cable isn't in properly. The corruption occurs during normal operation, during the boot logo and even in download and recovery mode. A firmware reflash had no effect. If I take a screenshot, the screen looks like it should (i.e. it's not in negative mode and the system thinks it's displaying the colours normally). I'm thinking at this stage either the screen itself somehow got damaged, though I'm not sure how, or a cable has come loose/been damaged somewhere. Has anyone seen this before or have an idea as to what is likely causing it?

It happened suddenly, one minute it was perfect the next day it looked like the picture. I'm thinking it's just a lose video cable, either that or one of the colour channels/polarizer is missing. I just realised that Samsung has a two year warranty though, so hopefully the repair is free, assuming they don't try to pin the blame on me.

I'm actually asking if this problem comes suddenly one day or keep occurring more and more...
I guess it might be problem of the battery, since it occurs less when it is fully charged or highly charged. Yeah, we know Samsung is notorious in bad battery quality
Hello everyone, this is my first post in xda so I apologize if there's any error.
Everything started a couple of days ago, when I found a stuck pixel on my s6 AMOLED display. I had this phone for over a year now, and it always worked flawlessly. I installed some apps to fix this stuck pixel (it was kinda red) and first I spotted some new ones across the screen, but then after a couple of tries they disappeared. Next day in the morning, I wake up to see that my screen is kind of yellowish tinted, whites are not white but more like yellow and what bothers me the most, blacks are no longer pure black, because they have back light like if it was an LCD instead of an AMOLED.
I tried lots of things and realized that when the screen is displaying mostly white colors it seems to be alright, but if something dark appears everything automatically switches to this yellowish tint.
I already:
Wiped cache
Factory reset
tried with some "Burn in Fix" apps
Changed display mode
with no luck.
I found out that even in the boot logo and in recovery the problem persists.
I'm running 7.0 Stock, no root, no recent drops / water drops.
Please, help me, I miss my old gorgeous display :c
Some images of my problem:
This is what a pure Black wallpaper looks like:

I'm going crazy, does anyone have an idea of what could be happening ?
Your display seems to have degraded. I recently sold my 2.5yr old S6 which was fine as far as display is concerned; your issue seems to be rather strange for just a year old device. Do you by chance regularly use very high brightness level?
I don't have any solution that I can think of; but curious to understand the cause.
On a side note though, see if Samsung Service Centre is ready to take a look at your device and fix it (if this is due to any display connectors being lose)

Hello, and sorry for the delay, strangely i haven't got any notifications about this topic so i thought no one replied.
I regularly use medium to low brightness level, but now that I have this problem I have to use it on high or max because otherwise its hard to see anything, especially while reading.

It's highly likely that your display/display connector has gone wrong. Visit Samsung Service Centre to get it checked; they will check for free and quote you for repairs if it is something that can not be fixed without parts replacement.
