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:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
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

On the right hand side of my device a strip running from the top of the phone to the bottom of the phone exactly half an inch wide will not respond. I noticed in while texting a friend.
I am unlocked running Alien Build 3. I am going to wipe and install Build 4 and see if that fixes the problem, any other ideas? I have the ATT Warranty thing.
This picture shows the region that is dead.

Same thing happened to my G/F's atrix except the left side. It was warranty replaced via AT&T. The kicker is you will have to call and talk for an hour with the tier 1, then to a tier 2, then the "special android techs"... the result of the call was they told her to factory reset. That in turn derped her worse cause then she couldnt even setup blur. She had to rotate it into landscape to get it to setup. Being hers was on the left, the E/W wouldnt work and since her email had 3 e's it was a PITA. PS- I sbf'd, tried to restore the PDS (or whatever) partition, and did resets; none of which worked. Just trying to save you some time, call AT&T and get a new one y0
I got a new one, but now the new one is doing the same thing.... /facepalm
What can I flash to get my phone all the way back to bone stock?
Same happening to me, it's the dead center of the screen.
Works on an off randomly. Factory reset wouldn't fix it.
Would love to know if it is possible to fix without having to send the phone in for repair.
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...

Hey everyone, got my white galaxy S2, about 3 days ago, and im already having some issues.
Issue #1, the chrome part thats on the perimeter is peeling/chipping. I have 2 spots where this is occuring, both are near the home button where i guess my fingers rub the most. I had a Black S2 before, never noticed that....well maybe because i couldnt see it on black You can barely see it on the 2nd picture in the bottom left corner. Also, around my volume button and power button, the chrome seems SOOO poorly crafted. Its hard to see on the picture, but it looks a lot worse in real life. I wouldnt complain if i had the phone for at least a few months, but after only 3 days? Bought my phone on Kijiji, and it was sealed at the back so i doubt it was used before, unless the seller did an amazing job at restoring his phone to be brand new.
Issue #2, LAGZORZ!! I rooted and unlocked the phone, got RevoHD ROM which ran without ANY lag on my old black S2 and i always used TW4 because thats the only launcher where i had no lag whats so ever. TW is plain but the simpler the better Now thought...i get minor lag in my app drawer and when i scroll screens. Homescreen is crowded with active widgets like youtube and And.Market, now i know its putting a lot of stress on the phone, but i didnt get any of that with my black S2.
Tried RevoHD and LeoMar75 ROMS, tried different kernels, different governors, clock speeds, and i still cant get the same result as i had on my old phone. Experimented with Siyah @ 1600 but kept getting boot loops (this never happened on my old phone).
Anyone else having any problems such as mine with their white S2's?

I don't have the lagging issues, but my silver bezel is peeling off. A lot. Looks like crap really. I've ordered a bumper though to hide it, so at least it shouldn't get any worse.
Hi guys,
I´ve a X820 with a divided screen. some colorful pixel on the left side and working lcd on the right side. I´ve tried 4 different screens. the used LCDs are working well on other phones.

then I removed the black sticker around the lcd connector and catched out that some resistors are loosened.
Do anyone know these issue? is there any fix? soldering? but where I can find the spare parts?
Thanks for your help guys

Exact same problem here too. I've been using the phone fine for two months but just yesterday this screen issue happened. It happens randomly and is hard to reproduce. Tapping or scrolling the left side seems to cause glitches. Hopefully this isn't a hardware issue.
Screenshots do not show the problem, and funnily enough pressing things on the left of the screen still works, like opening apps/typing etc, you just can't see what you're doing until the glitch clears itself! It also happened once on the LeEco splash screen on booting, and in recovery mode. I'm not sure about the bootloader.
I haven't looked at the resistors as the phone is basically new, so if this is a hardware issue I'm hoping for a replacement! If anyone has a fix please post it!
I also had the same issue but for some reason only with LOS 15.1.
When I boot into it it's fine but when I lock the phone half of it turns into RGB noise like on the photo. Restarting does fix the problem but still locking it makes the noise again. I think it's just a software glitch.
Thanks @LameMonster82. Mine is a lot more often than that, and not just when locking the phone. Glad to know this could just be a software issue though!
@toto1988 any update on this? Did you find a fix? There's a solution offered by @geekch to reflash the LeMax2Qfil so I may try that myself over the next few days. Flashing stock Rom and recovery unfortunately did not work so Qfil may be the last resort.
Sorry for delay. Now I got a new motherboard and anything works fine again. So it was definitely a hardware issue. Before I tried all other potential software fixes without success.
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.
