Hello I am in great need of help. I accidentally sat on my phone and now theres a small spot in the middle of the screen that looks dead. When the phone is on you can still see colours in the spot but it gives off a yellow tint. And when the screen is off u can notice the spot as it is darker than the rest of the screen. Will take some pics later today. Any suggestions?
Here are pictures of what it looks like

Pls help me to find out wtf is this.
As i understand it is a common issue with diamonds?
White is still white, but greyscales became greenscales...
And, greyscales are almost normal on light screens, but near/on dark/black background they are as on the pics..
Only screen replacement or can be smth worse?
So, any help?
Hi All,
Actually I bought a new Note-GTN7000 but later after four day's I've noticed that there is a tiny green dot appearing on the not exactly but middle of the OLED. It is not a dead pixel as it appears on a dark background only like when we go to the settings menu(Dark Background) & it disappears when I switch of my handset.
Could be a pixel stuck.
Q!: Is there a way to take it off.
Q2: Tried different apps like JscreenFix and pixel fixer for about an hour or two continuously but didn't work out.
Any other possible way from any body???
Please help.
I once had a stuck pixel on tytn 2 and this is what I did:
Hold your finger or "closed" pen on a pixel(so you'll know where it is)
Turn off your screen
Press the spot on the screen very hard
Turn on the screen
This procedure helped me to "unstuck" the pixel. I cant guarantee that it will work om amoled but I think it is worth to try
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA
Pushing the spot hard and Switching the display on, Heating up the screen works for LCD Screens. Not LED.
Don't try these silly steps posted everywhere, You might end up permanently damaging your screen.
The only solution to this is, Stop looking at it. I have a stuck pixel on lower left corner as well. They don't spread nor hurt anything. In fact its so tiny that You wont notice it until you continuously focus your eyes on it. In a couple of days you will forget that It's their.
For LCD Monitors back in the days - Samsung only replaced Monitors with new ones if "only" they had Five or more dead pixels. If you have one , or two you're stuck with that for good. #yearsago
Hi people,
Can anyone help me, I'm going crazy!
Right I have a note 8 a few weeks old. Never been dropped etc. I put a black background(no pictures etc, just pure black) on my home screen. When I turn my screen brightness up to full, and look at my screen in the dark, the top of the screen looks faded(Browny yellow instead of black). I sent it in to samsung and they said there isn't a problem, but their obviously is! Could anyone please try this on their device for me? Just put 'black image' into Google images and you will find loads of black images to try it with. Thanks in advance (has to be viewed in a dark room, because it's not noticeable in light and the screen brightness has to be full). Thanks in advance.
Afternoon everyone i urgently need opinion i have a perfect black round dot that i thought was a sensor or selfie camera or notification i cant screen shot it as it goes and disappears but is is permanently there other than that films screens on black backgrounds but wierdly not on screenshots anyone know hwta it is? it doesnt look like a pixel more like a notifcation or smomething telling me i have something switched on i have attached a picture from my iPhone thanks in advance
Hey!
When you make screenshots, does the dor appear?
As I see there are 2 options:
1. (Most common) you have dead pixels. This means those pixels are literally dead, and as a consequence, black permanently. The only way tk fix is it is by replacing the screen
2. (Very rare) a software problem. In this case by some reason those pixels aren't been rendered, though this is a remote possibility, but posible. For checking, if you capture a screenshot and the dot appear, then there may be a software problem. Otherwise, the phone is rendering that black dot, but by some reason the screen isn't showing it up.
So please let me know if when capturing a screenshot you see the dot.

They say they can’t screenshot it. It’s a dead pixel. if the device is under warranty, use the warranty. If not, rlly nothing you can do, there are some yt vids that flash lights your screen, and that can potentially fix it.
There is a small possibility it’s a app overlay doing this, does still appear when you are in the settings app (settinsg does not show overlays unless you toggled the option in developer settings)
It appears everywhere settings videos and anywhere else.. except a screenshot if i do that it goes. normally a dead pixel is quite blurry and you can tell the burn etc etc this is a exact round dot like its a notification or sensor initially i thought it was a camera or light ambient sensor lol i may have toggled something in developer settings lol its so exact and round i thought i may have mucked around with somthing in the settings
Dead pixels don't need to be blurry. Dead pics and screen burning are different things. Dead pixels may happen by an impact to a certain region of the screen that was hard enough to kill those pixels. Maybe a shortcut as well. I don't really know. To me it seems dead pixels
