small dot on lcd

today i have noticed that there is a very small black dot on lcd, but i dont think its a dead pixel, because its visible when the screen is off, like a little dust under screen !
is it possible that dust goes under hd7 screen ?
how can i fix that ?

I have the same issue. But I leave it as it is ´cause I don´t want to make it worse and in normal operating it doesn´t bug me so much.

what is it ? is it dust or dead pixel do you think ?
but its annoying in white background

Well indeed I think it is a dead black pixel since it doesn't move like dust.
It doesn't disturb since the display never is fully cleaned :-]

My first HD7 had dust under the screen straight out the box, 2 specks by the arrow up the top right, I exchanged it as it also had a gap on the battery cover so I could see the SIM card.
replacement was perfect, so a bit of dodgy quality control at HTC by the looks of it..

hi John.
I have HD7 and the battery cover has a gap- as you described...
where did you send your hd7 in order to be replaced?
Did you send it dirtectly in HTC's?
or did you address to the shop you bought it?
how many days did they spend to replace your mobile?
Thanks for your help

the small dots under the screen is not dust specs.
its actually the insulators builted in the screen..
if u place the screen under then sun with a black screen (lcd off) u can see there is actually quite a number of them.
they are visible if u tilt it to a certain angle..
i place a matte type screen protector and its not visible anymore.
anyway i still hate the tarnished camera button.
nevertheless, my kick stand starts to paint-pill even though i have not even use them. =(
but i still love wp7.

I know what are you saying, but this dot is different from them, its not on that grid, its only one and when the background is white its visible as dark color
but i dont think its a dead pixel too, it is a little far from lcd and seems to be under the front glass !
I couldnt do anything with it

you can replace just the glass galaxy s i9000

hello people i sat down the other night and looked at my poor i9000 the glass was smashed to bits so i had the silly fort in my head to see if i can get the glass away from the screen ...... and..... IT CAN BE DONE!!!!!!!!! now i have on order a new oem glass from ebay £6 odd will be here in about 10 days and then will just be glue back in place and done in mean time i have a screen guard stop the screen from being messed up as all it is . is the dit touch and screen .. see pics

The glass would need to be capacitive touchscreen capable I think?

Would be interesting/good if that is true.
Samsung service centre told me before that the original amoled screen, touch panel and glass comes as a single unit/ part.
Hope you are right.

The capacitive touch panel IS the glass. You cannot order any glass and place it on top of the screen. You need a touch panel, and yes, they come as an assy with the screen.

For 100% You will need a touch panel.

i still have the touch on the screen and am still able to use the phone i know its a oem screen from samsung as the screen was new when got it from shop ... funny how people jump the gun and think that somethink that (cant be done ) can be done im happy to go on fb ring txt and everything else on this phone with the glass OFF!!! and is 100% useable can even upload a video to youtube and will show you lot wrong hahaha whos larfing now ..... my ass you need to go out and buy the whole lot ... no you dont as i have showen you . the way i found out was i had a old samsung i9000 and it was busted to hell . so had a go at taking the screen away from the bk and saw that you have the screen then touch panel glued together then the touch to the glass so i fort with my working i9000 (with cracked glass only) i start tapping away from the front and there you have it . it started to work and then atm to stop me from scraching the touch sheet coz its not glass its like a soft plastic i am using a screen guard and its working a charm .... show me wrong people but im sat here with the glass off my phone and phone still working . i give this job a 9/10 on hardness tho so good luck

glass can be replaced pic shows touch still on screen

hi, if anyone is still interested. this is really pssible, ive separated the outer glass 5 min ago. used a thin sheet of plastic and the heat of a hair dryer. it took me an hour to do so

The glass would need to be capacitive touchscreen

Funny how people can't seem to be able to read.
He's PROVEN separate glass to be the case, it's not a question.
Now whether or not a new glass can be fitted onto the old capacitive layer just like that remains to be seen...

i can CONFIRM, that the outer Gorilla glass is just a tempered glass thats glued to lcd/digitizer assebly with transparent silicone-like glue. the touchscreen works 100% fine without the gorilla glass. ive ordered the replacement for outer glass and will report back when i get it and if it works right with some video footage. unfortunately i wil have to wait for it for about 3 week, because its located in china

Did the new glass worked?
Hello there, since I recently got my glass look like a willow tree at the late autumn (dropped my Galaxy S and the glass is all cracked up) but the touchscreen is still intact and fully operational and working flawlessly I am interested on your progress to know if it's possible to fix just the glass and to get eventual information on how you did it if you succeeded with replacing just the glass, info on where you got a new glass and stuff would also be much appreciated in case your homemade repair worked. Thanks in advance.

Any news? The ten days should be over now....

Same problem
Any news? I have the same problem.

IT IS POSSIBLE... but i have failed
Last days i have finally try to change only the glass on my i9000. No success, but i was very close.
After i have clean the remaining glue from the glass that i buy i have follow the steps from the youtube video from post before. I mention that S3 glass seems to be more flexible and the glue a little more soft.
I have warm up the display surface but not to warm (after i remove the main-board and other).
After i have started to take the glass piece by piece with my swiss multi knife (big mistake)
I have proceed with careful until i have started to be more and more sure at me, and, as you can imagine i have make the big mistake - broke the display.
I don't know if in glass removing process or when i have try to remove the remaining glue with a microfiber tissue i have press a little to hard and i broke the display (a little rift).
I have failed but i am sure if you have patience and more appropriate tool you can succeed.
Please take in calculus that without the glue between the two parts the screen is more reflexive and the contrast is not like before. There is no electrical connection between the touch and the display.
Now the touch under the rift on the screen is not working anymore and the phone is almost useless. The top part of display is working perfect!
Sorry for my english and here is some pictures:

Note 8 and S8/S8+ Edge Light Leak/Bleed Problems

Do you guys have the issue?
Bothering the hell out of me
Second device still has this issue
Should I continue to exchange until I get a normal one?

It's OLED screen, how could that be? You could put a photo on here.

It's not light bleed
use search bar too
thread already here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/help/light-bleed-t3670247

It's common. Just like every issue, not everyone has it, but quite a few people do. I think that we all agreed on a few things:
1. It isn't actually light bleed by the standard definition. It is light leakage around the bottom of the screen, reflecting off of the metal of the bezel.
2. It has been around since curved screens have been around.
3. It does not affect water resistance.
4. It isn't being caused by the screen lifting. It appears to be happening because the black around the base of the screen isn't flush with the bottom. Samsung is aware of it and they don't consider it a defect. It's more of a tolerance issue.
5. Getting the screen replaced isn't a guarantee of a fix. We had at least one person on the above listed thread that had the screen replaced and ended up with the exact same issue.
6. Getting a replacement device is not a guarantee of this being fixed and instead, you might get a device with this issue and some other issue.
7. Most cases will hide the issue.
My wife and I both have Note 8s and both of them have it. I just put the phones in cases and forgot about it. Given the number of things that can go wrong with one of these things, there's just no way that I was going to try swapping it when it is likely that I would end up with another device with the same issue and/or something worse.

Because of the nature of what may appear to be a light bleed, logic dictate to me that an exchange, or screen replacement will not keep light from reflecting off the edges!

If the black around the inside edges of the screen goes to the very bottom of the screen all the way around, then you will not have the light leakage. The reflection happens when the black doesn't go all the way to the bottom and light reflects off of the metal. This is why some people don't have it. In those cases, there is no light leaking out the bottom of the screen that can reflect.

What is this "black around the inside edges" you speak of?

Honestly, unless you getting "leakage" like this, there's no good reason to try and play the lottery. I sent it in to Samsung to get repaired. There's very little "leakage" with the new LCD panel and glass, but there's still a tiny bit, not super noticeable like before.
This is what I saw when looking directly at the screen. Yeah, it was pretty bad. You could see it during the day/lit room.

Look along the bottom edges of the screen. The actual image area does not go all the way to the edge of the bezel. All around, that portion of the screen is blacked out. If the black does not go right to the very edge of the screen, there's a very small area where light can escape and reflect on the bezel.

I'm asking what exactly is the "black" that you're speaking of? Are you speaking of the material that makes up part of the actual display? Is it the black paint on the side frame? What exactly is the "black"? Or is the "black" referring to the area where light is not reflecting?

None issue. I'd be more concerned about screen uniformity if I were a fusspot.[emoji9]

The black that I'm referring to is along the edge of the screen. It is the material that makes up the display, along the bottom edges. I don't know if it's paint or some other material.

If what you say is true, this should be adressed by samsung. Can you point me to any credible sources substantiating what you're saying?

I remember seeing it here somewhere as well. Someone even pasted in a conversation that they had with Samsung. In the conversation, Samsung basically said that it was normal, which to them means it is within tolerance. There is a much bigger thread somewhere in here about "light bleed".
I also saw it somewhere else on the internet, but can't remember where. I stopped thinking about this issue about three days after I got my phone.

I've found a pretty simply solution to this issue. Get yourself some of the glue that's included in the Dome Glass screen protectors. I know they sell similar stuff on amazon, it's UV glue or something, I'd make sure ppl talk about using it to glue on smartphone screens. Since the stuff has a really low surface tension, it sucks itself into any tiny crevices, which include the tiny concave space between the frame and the screen. This stuff blocks the light from leaking, and it's just more glue, which they used to glue the screen on in the first place.
You can use the UV light on it to cure it, or just leave it. since it's such a small amount exposed to the air it it will dry on it's own. The thing I used to hold the glue was super stuck to something the next day and I didn't use the UV light on that, so the stuff does air dry.
I noticed this when I put on my dome glass screen protector and the part where the glue spilled over had no light leaking anymore.

Dead Pixel?

So I have noticed a "black" dot near the right edge about halfway down on my screen. I can feel what may be a scratch but definitely not a deep one. When I first saw it, I had a screen protector on it and thought a piece of dirt had gotten in between the screen protector and the screen but after I took it off I noticed this dot. Anyone had this problem. I would like to think Samsung would help me but my back glass has spider cracked and I'm not sure if they would still honor this. Anyways here's a few pictures, tell me what you think.

It is not ONE dead pixel, it is a group of pixels, most likely due to an impact, only fix would be screen replacement, sorry

I had one little dead pixel, samsung replaced whole screen and battery

Well, that 'scratch' that was made is basically a drop to your phone.
Whatever it is that the phone fell on managed to poke into the OLED screen, probably missing the digitizer by a little, damaging that cluster (the shape and shading of that makes this make sense)

I can't tell what's that spot on my screen..

Hello,
I've noticed this mark on my screen
Only see it when screen is off
Idk what it is
I've been playing pubg mobile alot lately
Perhaps it's due to pressure on this area ?
Can it be removed ?
Thank you

Looks like a combination of heat and pressure, nothing you can do to fix it other than buy a new screen and be a bit more gentle.

Looks like a part of the oleophobic coating has worn off. Has happened on mine too. Have put a screen protector on to hide it.

I had the same after playing pubg mobile daily for 3 months straight on my ipad pro. i managed to clean the screen and put a screenprotector on it. The mark i had was in fact fat from my fingers. The oleophobic coating was gone but when u clean your screen you cannot see its missing.
It took a lot to remove the fat since i was used to quickly swipe the oleophobic coated screen. if the coating is gone it takes a lot more to get rid of the fat. try soap and water maybe and put on a protector after.
