Strange pattern on Galaxy Note Screen - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everybody,
I am new owner of Galaxy Note which I have bouight 2 days ago. My device came with Gingerbread and I successfully updated it trough PC Odin to ICS 4.0.4 UK/Ireland. I noticed when i have grey background or white background that I can see signs like logo of AMOLED and Galaxy note letters in background above AMOLED logo sign. Here are also pictures how it looks.
I think that I didnt notice it on GIngerbread, but I am not sure. I can live with it but it is little bit iritating as I payed it 499 EUR.
Should I be concerned and return my phone, or this is SW issue ? Many thanks for any help.

when there is a new note 2 is available in market why did you have considered buying a old note? anyway samsung has a very bad built quality it's probably a hw issue... ask for a refund or exchange from the seller

Maybe it's from the transparent plastic sheet, which was on the screen. Try to clean it with a LCD screen cleaner. If it still exists afterwards, I'd return it to the dealer.

Hello,
Today I got new Samsung Galaxy Note. After they saw my screen they replaced it by new Galaxy Note without any question. Only difference with this new one is that on S Pen button is now grey, and on previous one was black hehe, really strange, does anybody know anythinga bout it?
Device come with Android Gingerbread 2.3.6, now I am going to install ICS 4.0.4 UK/Ireland.
EDIT:
Found info about grey S Pen button:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1479910

spen on my note white had a Grey button too. I guess it's standard on white phones

would a sticker be okay?

i would keep it in black, as black phones are proven to give the illusion that the phone screen is bigger

!!!NOTE!!!
I havent bought that white glass and i do not know anything about the seller. Im simply just providing the links.
i want one too
What u need is a new Digitizer. So, just type "white digitizer for galaxy ace", and 'uncle g00gle' will show you the rest. But remember, for a the best result, i thing you have to buy a new white home button too.
it easy to disassemble and to assemble, just ask "miss y0utube".
That looks great I want it

I got the official white Samsung one with my phone for only £10 instead of £29.99, but I really want the orange one!
This site does most of the colours, but some have yet to arrive in stock:

? Possible White Nexus 4 @ Carphone Warehouse? UK

I went into my local CPW yesterday to ask about the availability of the N4 this week, the girl I spoke to looked it up (big screen flashing up warning NOT to give customers any info and to keep stock in the back etc)
I asked if she could look up the price for SIM fee and she tried another approach, searching on the system for lg nexus 4, a simple screen popped up with the price for 2 nexus 4's.... now, unless my eyes deceived me, I saw one for "nexus 4" and one for "nexus 4 White" (both said £389.99 or similar)
Obviously as I wasn't looking for that info it didn't really sink in until a moment or two later so by that time the screen had been closed etc.... just wondering if anyone had seen anything similar? I don't want to cause any undue excitement, pant wetting etc but surely it's not beyond the realms of possibility? I had a quick search but couldn't see any mention of it...
Anybody? Maybe the o2 exclusivity thing has the white one as part of it?
I hate white phones so not interested, but one of you lot might be into it!
We will find out tomorrow I suppose, but you heard it here first eh!
(....probably been old news for a while or complete rubbish so slinks off to cry....)

Yeah there was a picture on Twitter a while back showing a CPW display that had both black and white options on it.

Ah, it's right enough then... I thought for a second I'd imagined it. I read that article too, must have been before the update with the white option.
Sorry for the pointless post then!

Strange we haven't heard anything official from either Google or LG about it... Wonder how it looks, as my Gnex is the white version.

I saw people selling them separately so if those spots doesnt affect much it will save me alot of money
It wouldn't spread unless you apply a lot of pressure. If you press down too hard it'll break more.

Buy Digitalizer and LCD Display from here
http://www.ebay.de/itm/151615938934...49&var=450825180259&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
I bought the display + frame assembly from here:http://www.aliexpress.com/item/LCD-...ria-Z-L36h-C6603-LT36-display/1449119790.html
I was skeptic at the start,but the screen is actually darn good.
26$,arrived in only 8 days(even though it said it would take from 15 to 30 days),my phone looks brand new and the screen is nice for the price(the colors are a bit duller than the original screen,but the viewing angles are epic,almost like an IPS screen). xD
I was ready to sacrifice 10% of the color reproduction on my screen instead of paying 3x more for an original one(yeah,a new screen and frame assembly in my country costs no less than 100 $ )
Buy a new phone. Xperia Z is a piece of ****. I cracked my screen twice. The second time you can't even see the crack unless holding it on an angle under a certain light. I see iPhones all the time, MISSING part of the front glass and still working. I bought my mum a Xperia Z Ultra and that broke two in one small drop. Count it a win and change manufacturer.

Try to reset all the camera settings and see if it helps, if not you could try factory resetting the entire device. If that doesn't help it 'might' be dead pixels on the sensor/sensors.

it may be the phone motherboard has failed.
Recommended to go after-sales service to ask for help.
Motherboard? I dont think so. This problem is only with camera app. Not on screen in any other app. Why motherboard. It seem mote like a sensor camera issue. The phone is 4 month old. That why i never renonce to samsung and go with Huawei. Chines alwais use cheap material and go for premium device.
