gear S display problem - Samsung Gear S

i own a gear s and i have a problem with display. on the bottom part appeared a line from left to right and width/height of 1mm. the line stays there instead of the normal content during menu navigation.
i tried to reset or restart but no success. when the screen is off the line disappears also.
strange thing is that the color of the line differs according with the color of the screen
is it a hardware or software problem?

Just my opinion but it sounds like a hardware issue.

Is it something like that?
In my case it's vertical. Sometimes very visible - like you can see on pics below. Other time barely visible...

My Gear S had a similar white line, running vertical, on the right side of the screen.
Within a day or two, the entire screen was affected. It looked faded, streaky horizontally, still with the vertical white line on the side.
Now, the display does not work at all. Completely blank, black, no light whatsoever.
After opening it up, the liquid damage indicator is still flawless. And after putting it back together, the watch still works perfectly! You just have to know what should be on the screen.
What happened? What can I do?

[Q] Touchscreen Dead Zone

I've been using my TP for a month now, and my experience has been remarkably smooth compared to others. Yesterday night I noticed my backspace key on the keyboard wasn't responding. I whipped out SuperNote and scribbled on the screen, and lo and behold, there was a sizeable dead zone on the right edge in the middle.

I rebooted my TP, and the problem seems to have gone away. If it happens again, I'll bother Asus. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this little glitch, and if I should be worried. Also of note, my TP was sitting in my fairly chilly bedroom. When I picked it up, the metal back was cold to the touch.
Haven't experienced anything as drastic as that.
But there is definately something wrong with my touch panel. It is easy to notice when setting a background image and you get the option to crop the image. It is impossible to resize the cropped area to the very top of the screen. There will always be some space between the rectangle and edge of screen, unlike at bottom. So to fix this you need to drag the rectangle up and then resize it to the bottom edge of screen.
Is there any way to calibrate the touch panel like in some older touch devices?

[Q] Digitizer/Grey Lines

I'm wondering if the faint vertical gray lines I see on my G3 are a device specific issue or if everyone is having the same problem. For some reason whenever I look at the stock background or anything with white or light colors I can see vertical gray lines on my G3's screen. They aren't that noticeable, but now that I have noticed them, I seem to always notice them. Does anyone else have this problem or should I exchange my device for a new one?
So looking at a white or light background makes these "grey bars" visible?

Yes, faint but now that I've seen it already they bug me.
All the LG G3 phones have it. Some people notice them, some don't. And they vary in degree
Those little grey lines
Are your phones capacitive input sensors, its how the phone registers touch.

What do you mean YouTube is showing in background? In not seeing what you mean at all in those screenshots?
They're showing the residual screen "burn" that a lot of people have seen. I've had this a few times when my screen was on full brightness with a bright background app. (I've seen it on my cryptogram app)
It usually goes away pretty quickly for me. Usually I've forgotten about it then I remember and notice it's gone.

Ooooohhh! Mine literally just recently, as in only a week ago started doing it. Only not full screen. It only happens every so often when the display times out itself, never when I turn the screen off myself. Though it's different than the one the OP posted. Mine starts from the top left corner of the second display, and lights up to about the bottom right half of the phone.
I'll try to get a picture next time it happens.
Is it a software issue, or hardware? Since mine just started doing it a week ago...

I find out now that is between the screen and the glass, I increase and decrease image, but numbers don't move, is 208 on soft red. Thanks
There appears to be an odd purple mark in the lower right... no red... but I'm starting to see red.
You taking screen shots?
You need to take an picture of the screen with a camera not screen shot to show a imprinted number...
Thanks I will do that, also appears more small numbers under, I suppose that is the reference of the display.

			
				
Is that "burn-in" perhaps?!
OLEDs don't burn in per se but high brightness, statically still areas can wear faster and their pixels are then become dimmer than surrounding ones.

Question Gray bar across the top of the home screen

I got my 1 III yesterday and noticed just now that there is a gray bar across the top of the screen. I do not recall seeing it there before. It almost looks like backlight bleed on a normal screen but I know it cannot be that on an OLED. If I go into another program like the camera app, the gray bar goes away which points to it being a software issue. Is anybody else having this issue?
I was able to take a picture of it:

I also have it in my Xperia 1.. so it's a part of the wallpaper and I was like you but then I realized it's not a hardware problem. so, no worries! your phone is intact
