So recently I noticed my screen has a blue spot when displaying white. It's slightly notice to be annoying. It's not visible with blacks and less so with other colors. What to do with warranty as a last resort? Will warranty claim actually fix the phone instead of replacing it?

Is a case applying pressure to the back of the phone. That's usually where the blue dot comes from. Something is applying pressure to the screen.

A textbook case of phone squeezing while watching pron on the dna's fabulous HD.
Is blue just in one spot on the screen?

Its an isolated spot at the top of the keyboard it is about 2-3 mm wide. I will try taking it out of the case and see if it goes away.
Sometimes cases can put pressure on the screen and cause blue dots to appear.

I took it out of the case for at least 14 hours and nothing changed. I am okay with it as long as it doesnt spread. Really don't want to warranty it and get a locked DNA after running CM
I would kee it too, having a locked bootloader will be more irritating.
I've got a faint blue dot also and no case.

It happens to a lot of DNAs.. Idk something about internals pressing against screen.

yep, if you push on the back between the htc logo and the other logos, you can see the ripple effect. there's a soft spot on there.
my first DNA had the issue, and i only used a TPU case. i'm thinking it was from having it in my pocket, screen facing out and crouching and sitting down and stuff. it would probably put pressure against the back and cause that ripple and that eventually led to a constant blue haze. i returned it right after noticing it..was very sad. lol
So this is a common issue then? I just noticed it on mine today. Will they fix it under warranty? I've only had the phone for about 2 weeks.

Did you guys with the blue dot send the phone out to get Jtagged?
If so, the blue dot is an overtightened screw (Did it to mine when I JTagged it... Pop the back off and loosen the screw a little bit... It might not ever go away, but it lessens he effect... Also lessens the possibility of the screen cracking from it)

Hi guys
On my SGS2 when the touch buttons are lite part of the light seeps through the gap of the hard button. Does anyone else have this?
I can only see it when it's pretty dark but its very annoying.
I don't have this :s

Yeah, I have it too, but it's not too bad and only visible from certain angles and in a dark room.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Yeah I sometimes have itbut almost rarely, and like the other guy said only from certain angles when I'm looking for it. I put pressure on the button in that direction and it disappears usually

Ive got this very slightly on the right hand side. I also notice when im reading a web page with a black background the very bottom left has a white spot/pixel, it goes away when you start scrolling. Anyone else got the same problem?

Glad im not the only one who has this. Worth returning over?

Im guessing you have Optus stock as well?
When you look at the touch button straight on can you see the light?
Mine has the same issue but i dont care.
I can only see it when I'm using the phone when it's completely dark
My wife has a mole but shes still beautiful, can we not get a little obsessed with perfection with our phones? It is after all the slimmest, lightest, dual core power house smart phone out there....forgive its quirks?

My phone did this at first but it went away after a couple weeks as the home button got better seated through use. Definitely not worth returning over.
same here, right hand side!
this was the reason for me to switch off the button lights in settings. looks better anyway
It has to be pretty dark...
didnt realise you could turn the light off

send it back, complain to samsung, demand they redesign the handset!
erm...
This will make it heavier and bulkier!!!
Happens to mine and there is NO PROBLEM with it. Be happy!

And more expensive. All these perfectly good handsets getting returned for new ones have to be paid for somehow.
I switched mine off looks so much better, per sonly I wish it was all black like the nexus s, i think that looks so sexy
Have it too, but dont matter !! I am a perfectionist too ( 620 euros it is for a phone !! ) but i think... i mean ... returning it for this????
If it is same as anyone elses in here its BARELY visible and you should try to find it again.. enjoy your phone. ( there are great chances of getting a same unit back, cause its a design thing i think )
Hey,
have it as well. But I don't really mind.

Hi Ministig
I've got the white spot/pixel issue,only noticed it when I was looking at another site which had a very dark blue background

I picked up a s 3 Sunday and noticed that that screen has a slight yellow tint to it. I've read it could be the glue not fully dried our whatnot. I notice that If I tilt the phone and view it from different angles, then the yellow tint disappears white backgrounds are "white"
Should I take the phone sand exchange it or will this go away?

Go to Settings>Display>Screen and un check auto adjust screen tone then reboot. The yellow tint should be gone.

Thanks for the reply man. I just thought it would get better because of the I phone having similar issues. Not sure if it's getting worse but it does suck lol

I noticed my screen has black blotches in the screen that are only visible when you are in are dark room looking at a black (or dark gray) background. Both of these conditions must be met to see it. This is actually my second gs3, I returned my first one cause it did it really bad and I later noticed that the new one also did it. Can any of you guys confirm that yours also does this? Go to Google images and l search black and look at that image.

Just wanted to hear that it's normal, I figured it was the case after my second phone. It's hard to feel like your phone may possibly be defective when it's less than a week old. Looks great 99 percent of the time.

After using my phone for a while today, a yellow spot appeared in the lower left corner. It isn't part of the normal screen, and appears over any whitish colors. It looks like a cigarette smoke stain almost. It won't go away, and is very noticeable over white, though it's invisible over dark colors. Does that sound like a damaged screen?

How long ago did you get the phone? I recall someone talking about something similar with the nexus 4, where it was the glue holding the screen on was not fully cured, causing it to have yellow spots.
Edit: Here is the thread I saw it on: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1990276 Does it look like that?

Somewhat, but lighter in a different location. Probably the same thing. I've had it since November 20 or so. Crap. First my casing split and now this... for such a well built phone it sure has a lot of issues with build....

I also have the blue tint at the top of the screen one of the links posted talked about. Well fantastic. The best phone ever has paper skin and glass bones.

So I noticed on my droid sms if I turn my auto brightness off and keep my screen on the brighter side and tilt the phone a certain way I see a green dot. When I til it to the right I see green, then red. The other way I see red then green. Straight on and if I tilt the top of the phone towards me the dot is no longer visible. I doubt its a stuck pixel due to how it acts. It is NOT visible on black or any other color from normal viewing angles. I saw a similar effect on my Razr HD when I had an otterbox on it due to a weird texture on the screen protector. Thanks for any help!

Do you have a case that is putting pressure on the back of the phone. Dots appearing are usually from pressure being pushed on the back of the phone.

I have the seidio surface case, but its literally like the size of a pixel. Its there without the case on as well. I remember seeing someone post about the HTC One having a similar problem and came to the conclusion it was an abnormality under the glass in the glue or something. I have a TINY piece of dirt under the digitizer as well but every other DNA I have owned had multiple dead and stuck pixels, horrible capacitive button bleed, backlight bleed, or extreme uneven backlighting. Most of these were a combination of pixels and backlight. So I'm keeping this one, just wondering if anyone else noticed this.

Nvm? I just find it odd it disappears at normal viewing angles. On my 32" from a few years ago I have a stuck green sub pixel and its only visible if I look directly at the screen head on. It wouldn't only appear at an angle if it was a stuck pixel, right? It also seems when I use Auto Brightness it is almost impossible to find, even at an angle. Its still there just need to use shaper angles. Its also a LOT dimmer than say, at 50-100% in the dark. During the day its almost not there when the screen gets brighter. In the sun it looks like there might be something above the spot but I'm not sure. Anyone else having this issue? It took me almost a week to find it.

I didn't read your entire post.
Anyway, the pixels are so close together I can't imagine it being too noticeable. If you can see the green pixel at a certain brightness keep it at that brightness and run a dead pixel fixer.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
Well its not thay I see a green pixel. When I look at the screen normally its not there at all, at any brightness. If I tilt it away from me and to the left or right the dot becomes visible. To the right its green and then red if I tilt it farther. If I tilt it to the left it goes from red to green. They aren't bright. I had a DNA with a stuck green pixel and a stuck red one and this definitely isn't a stuck pixel. If it is, its news to me. They were obvious on everything. This one can't be seen unless I view my phone from an angle.

Edit 2: I don't recommend it but you can rub the screen with the cap of a sharpee wrapped in something soft. This can damage the screen, so its up to you to try. I wouldn't worry about it if you can't see it during normal usage though.
Edit: you'll obviously have to rub kind of hard but use your best judgement.

Actually the blue works. No black dot on blue.

Just checked all the colors. No black dots on any color, no stuck or dead pixels show up, until on gray or black at an uncomfortably odd angle this odd spot shows
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
I don't think its a problem unless your usually looking at your phone at an odd angle. If it really bothers you, you can always try to get a warranty replacement, but I severely doubt they would replace your phone for one broken pixel.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
Yeah, plus I'm 99.9% sure its not broken or stuck... Again because it works on all colors like it should. I was just wondering if anyone else experienced this odd occurrence.
