Hi,
On my prime, light it leaking from the top. This is not visible when you hold the tablet straight in front of you. This is something which I have noticed recently. There is no problem with tablet or display and everything is working fine. My 3 yr old had thrown my tablet ~3 times changes the smooth curved edges to flat ones. I am not sure if this is due to that. I would like to know if this related to screen or casing and if it can be fixed? If I press the area about screen then it covers the lights. So it feels like there is something which has become loose between casing and screen.

Sounds like if i understand correctly the corner of the tablet is pushed in from being thrown? Seems to me that the edge being bent in is causing the screen to lift causing light to seep out. Wouldn't be surpised if the screen eventually cracks from the added pressure to that corner.
If your comfortable with taking the tablet apart i would try that and see if you could possibly push the corner out with a tool or something... or try and get a replacement back for it and change over everything.
Then again i could be completely off lol.... it's late and im ready to get off work and go home :cyclops:
I'm trying to remember where I found out how to open the transformer prime, but if you're interested, there's 2 internal locks you have to click out of place so the tablet isn't locked to it's screen, giving you access to the inside of the tablet. These 2 locks are positioned on the bottom of your prime inside it and are what locks your prime on the dock itself, they're very small. Although if you still have your tab under warranty you could just take it back to ASUS for them to fix it for you, just tell them you have light bleeding.

Here, I actually found a video where this guy opens his up for gps issues, but what matters is he shows you how to open it up, and from there all you would have to do is tighten the screws into position and your light bleeding problem should go away.

Please refer to the picture below. Do you spot any abnormalities with my SAMOLED+ display? The yellow tint is gone after flashing to 2.3.5, but the area in the lower left is still showing a lighter tone--like a right triangle; so does a small area on the upper left. Also, the brightness (as I've noticed in other S2's) is not evenly distributed across the screen. These problems are hardly visible in normal use, but it becomes visible in grey backgrounds, and notifications area, and lowest brightness in web browser. Please let me know, thanks.

so, what do you all think? Please let me know thank you.
Mine looks exactly like that: triangle in bottom left, splotch in top right, and whole left seems a little dimmer than the rest. I haven't installed any updates & bought mine in South Africa; where did you get yours? I was honestly under the impression that AMOLED was the technology to go for, but now I'm not so sure anymore.
At first I was going to ignore the lighting defects and the pink tint in the center of camera images as there aren't that severe, but now I've found my phone's earpiece probably has a problem too. It makes a crackly noise during calls that sounds like something's loose in the speaker, so I reckon it's time to send this one back...
Update: I got mine replaced today due to the speaker problem, and the new one has neither the triangle nor the splotch. It is still darker down the left side of the screen though, maybe even a bit more so than on the old one...
I had exactly the same issues (well, not exactly as mine were worse). I had to replace it twice. Now I have one without this issues, no yellowish border and little to no banding.
The guys at the service told me that if there is any problem now, I can get a new phone right away, but considering how many people have display problems, I would rather repair this one. It's display is suspiciously perfect...

I got a replacement phone because the headset speaker died on my original one. I don't remember having this issue on the original phone. Can you guys take a picture of a white wall or ceiling in medium light and see if you have this problem. Otherwise I might have to see about another exchange.
Also, it seems that this has been a problem since the i9100 was introduced but I don't remember it before.

that's a light issue, not a camera issue. turn your flash on. besides, when is there ever a time that I need a picture of the ceiling?
(by the way, I checked this on 3 phones, the ones in my signature, and it does it on all 3 phones. Then I turn on my flash on the gs2 (since the other ones don't have a flash) and it goes away. in order not to get it without your flash, you have to be in more natural sunlight)
You've never taken a picture of something white before?
The ceiling is just an easy example.

I have, but if it's outside I don't get this red spot. And if it's inside, I don't get it either if I use the flash. I don't see that as a bug in the camera. My wife is a photographer. This is coming from her. It's the light.

I also just took some pictures of things around the house that are on a white background. like pictures on our wall. I took some with flash, and some without. Now it appears that this red spot for me only shows up if the picture is completely white and I don't use the flash. If anything else is in the picture, it's gone - with or without the flash. Seems like a non-issue to me.
Read up on how to do a white balance for your camera.
As you go further out from the optical center of the camera, the angle which the light makes with the normal to the detector increases. This in turn means that, toward the edges, there's more chance that a light ray will travel through more than one of the colour filters, resulting in a color shift at the edges.
Here, it looks as though the camera white-balance has fixed a colour shift around the edges, at the expense of the center shifted to pink.
Phrases to google if you're interested: "pixel crosstalk", "bayer filter", CFA.
All smaller imagers are prone to this; they're simply too short for the optics to be close to telecentric (i.e. all rays hit detector at 90°). In a scene where there's a better range of colour and lighting, you likely wouldn't notice any problem at all. If you do, then cell-phone cameras aren't for you

So... This came up in a discussion recently, and people find it annoying after a while, so might as well fix it!
Strictly speaking, this shouldn't void your warranty (as the warranty screws in the back are left untouched), however, any1 opening the phone will immediately know that it was oppened.
Let's begin:
1: Using a heat gun/hairdryer heat the edges of the screen (not too much).

}
2: Using a case opener tool get in under the bottom edge of the screen.
3: Once the bottom is lifted work your way around the sides of the screen (reheat as necessary).
4: Apply heat to the top edge of the touchscreen and lift it gently using the top edge as a pivot point.
5: Congrats! Hard part over, the rest is a walk in the park. The following picture shows where most of the light bleeding happens. The bleed that interests us is the one in the lower right corner (or rather lower left in this pic as I'm an idiot as far as camerawork goes).
6: Cut a piece of the material of your choosing apply a bit of double sided adhesive tape and slap it right on top of the light bleed.
7: If you did a perfect job opening the phone you can reuse the factory glue to hold the digitizer in place, however as that is unlikely proceed to removing the stray bits of the old adhesive tape and replace them with new tape (2 thin pieces on the sides, 1 fat piece on the bottom and 2 fat pieces around the flat cable on top)
8: Put the digitizer back in its proper place (slide the top in first and then drop the rest into place) and you're done!
Hope this helps!
Notes:
My cam sux... sorry
My workdesk choice also sux
The reason pics are missing for the gluing stage is that I need to replace the whole digitizer on this phone but the replacement part hasn't arrived yet so i decided not to glue it together as I will have to unglue it again this week.
I'm having some trouble with my amaze's screen. There is a region around the edge of the screen that sometimes (a lot) is unusable. It is roughly around 20 pixels from the edge. It is especially a nuisance when im trying to use the keyboard. For instance if i try to press the letter q, it will press w etc. Sometimes the screen flashes with this red border around the edge, resembling the area that i cannot use. I couldnt get a screenshot but i gimp'd up something that resembles what im talking about:

Any help would be appreciated. I've tried most ROMS and the prob still exists. I have not dropped or damaged my phone in any way. This just started happening recently.
So i turned on show touches in the developer options in settings to give a better idea of what my problem is.
This is what happens when i drag my finger from the top of the screen to the bottom:

That didnt do it for me. I do remember that it started when i changed the back door of the phone. So i grabbed the old one and tried it and the problem is still there
Hello, I just got my S9+ (less than a week ago) and I discovered after 4 days of use, a very strange mark on the screen that has no depth.

It's very noticeable when I try to clean the phone with a bit of water. The droplets pattern changes:
I haven't exposed the phone to any miss-use and I'm baffled by this, is hard to see when the screen is on but it's forever in my mind now.
Could this be the oleophobic coating or am I looking at something else?
Do you see the line when the display is turned on? Try to dial *#0*# and test the display. It seems like the oleophobic coating, because of the water, but I never seen something like that before.

It's very hard to notice when the screen is on in most conditions. I'm returning this phone and hopefully it will pass Amazon quality checks, wish me luck.
In all 10 years of having smartphones, I never had a phone with this kind of flaw.
Hello I am having the same reaction on my phone. Did you find out what it was?
Same issue here
Only visible with screen off in direct sunlight or water is on the phone
I returned the device with an attached letter to it where it stated what was the problem.
I got the return, no questions asked. I would recommend reaching Samsung or your retailer to get this fixed or another device. If asked, just explain that the scratch has no depth, so it couldn't have been your keys or something in your pocket, also stress your phone is new.
Similar issues were reported for the Galaxy note 8 and I found a YouTube video with an S9 and a similar problem.
If you don't return the device, I would expect the problem to get worse.
