Screen Burn in!!!! - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

My phone screen developed a teenie tiny purple spot below the power button 2 weeks ago that that has now grown and grown to the point that there is a purple band from the camera arcing down to about an inch from the bottom right. The purple band is about 1/2 inch wide, and everything inside the band is a washed out grey, and you can see MASSIVE ghosting and burn in in that area. I bought my phone outright for $599 from Walmart months ago. What can I do??! Is there a fix for this? What causes it? Please help. I can almost not read things in the upper right. Its getting worse by the day.

Bezel-less displays on phones, while sexy, are not practical. You'll be inadvertently touching the edges of it all the time, hell I already do that a lot on my GS2.
fake, the glass it to close to the side and would make it not practical and break easy. Cool design but i highly double it, easy to photoshop

I actually have that, got it as a free app of the day off Amazon and it's close but you don't get the clock on the screen shot with the elegant chronograph look. You do get a really simplified clock/weather widget.

Cracked screen

After having my new phone less than 10 minutes I managed to drop it and the outer screen is smashed cracked. Is there any where someone can recommend that sell spares? The phone still functions but I need it fixed

I the best price i have seen for a Screen without the bumper is 249 300+ with the bumper around the screen.
its not really hard to change out either. Changing just the bumper is harder than changing just the screen, especially if the other screen is cracked and you are not trying to save it.
parts are out there though.
i have dropped mine 7 times now, and plan on throwing it against the wall here in about a month and getting square trade to give me another device, or the replacement cost.

Ha ha, well stupidity is one thing I just can't tolerate, if people choose not to educate themselves and instead insist in posting stupid stuff on xda I'm forced to say something. Stupidity is a choice!
But a straight up accident of this magnitude after only 10 mins of having the phone is no laughing matter, accidents happen and in this case I feel for the guy.

I have got the answer for you, this is what you must do,
1. Buy an S3 display + digitizer from ebay:
2. Follow this video tutorial:

....
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium

Need to unroot but can't see or touch screen.

I broke my digitizer trying to replace the screen and I also ripped the ribbon for my buttons at the bottom. I know I backed it up bad. I think my home button still works, but if not how can I indoor it before I send it back?

You're clearly an idiotic kid. When I posted the solution for you I hadn't read your story, just offered help. After his comment I went back and read what happened and it fits sound like fraud. You broke out and now it sounds like you're sending it back saying the screen went out.
Having said that I like how you don't comment and thank the people offering help, but rather start insulting people. I how they catch you and charge you full retail!

People like this cost the rest of us more money for legitimate issues and also are the reason warranty service is under greater scrutiny.

Gee...... I don't know......I mean he **ONLY**
- Broke his digitizer while trying to replace the screen for what I can onle assume was a desire to change the color of his phone......
- Needs to unroot before he sends back to factory for warranty attempt
- Was brash and arrogant when people actually offered him some advice.....

Thread closed, there are too many overly critical posts and posters in here to be constructive.
If you have nothing good to say, then do not say it. Be respectful in your posts, or log off.

For those of you with the white notes

So I think it's been about a year since I remember those threads popping up with white note users seeing pressure cracks around their screen. I was one of them and just unfortunately accepted it. I figured a little crack was no big deal.
But.. how many do you have now?
I'm at 16.

No pictures? I have a black one and want to see what you guys are talking about.
None on my white note... I guess I got lucky
None on mine either....
I'm up to 9 cracks on my white Note. This is the 2nd one too.
I've had an otter box on my white note since I got it went to a bar out in Oakland and dropped it down an impressive flight of stairs. I now have a nice two inch crack from speaker to front camara. Phone still works like a champ though.

In a randomly semi-related note, does anyone else have problems with the headphone jack? I bought my note 2 off of ebay and any headset i put in only works if twisted a certain way. I am not sure if it is just my device or a more common occurrence. If not, I'll seek a replacement.
I really wish I would've gotten white. With a black/dark grey case, the white looks PIMP

never had this problem with mine or my wife's. Of course you could always go BT and not worry about it.
Had the same problem awhile back I think it had dirt in it because I blew in it and it worked fine afterwards. Don't know if that will help but its worth a shot.
