hmm,after a month of usage,just today i noticed a very thin green line along the left side of the screen,only(mostly) visible on white color background...I did alot of surfing today which of course the browser and the sites mostly have white background,maybe thats why i noticed it today and not before...
anyways,its only on the left side of the screen and looks like it is at the just beginning of the pixels and its very hard to see,but it is there...
i did a very little net search and it says it is normal due to our screen matrix,but im asking just to be sure
thx
Doesn't sound normal to me. Any chance of a pic? I'd recommend taking it for repairs before it gets any worse.

after some research on this forum i got this from a senior member on another thread about the amoled:
"It caused by pentile matrix used in none plus samoled screens. Each pixel is made of two sub pixels one green and one either blue or red. The green sub pixel is always on the left side so the left side of the screen will always have that green line."
I should of checked before making this thread,sorry...anyways looks like it is a an amoled feautre
Yep I have it also...Noticed while back but doing a simple google search found out it was common thing

so,i took an extensive coffee break today and went to my local official samsung retailer shop,where i bought my phone since i wanted carrier free(Sim-free) device...i checked the displayed s3mini there and it has the same very thin green line on white background(i used the stock browser)...Also the manager was kind enough to open a new s3mini right out of the box,we put the battery,powered on and same story with the thin green line on the left side of the display...(ahh the 4.1.1 ripple effect,i miss it since its gone on the 4.1.2 upgrade
Anyways sometimes i get carried by this peculiar stuff,so from there i went to my carrier(VIP) shop and checked the displayed unit there and of course it has the same ultra thin green line
So,its an amoled feature,nothing to freak out...its very very hard to notice,especially if you are outdoors where there is plenty of daylight
cheers
Wow now I can see it also on mine but if u had not sad anything I would not have noticed!

Sorry m8,my intentions were not to spoil the experience with our phones...Maybe i should just delete the post..But i think people should be informed about what they are buying...its not a big deal anyways
Update your subject title with (solved) so it doesn't seem like an ongoing problem :-$

Solution to the Green Line on the Left Side
On your Galaxy Device:
Go to: Settings >Display >Screen Mode
Under Screen Mode:
Scroll down and you shall see Advanced Options.. In that make Green 0(zero)
This will get rid of that Green line.. The same method will work for any RGB Line that occurs on the side of your Galaxy Device

Hi Guys,
After hearing so much problems with the Note screen, I had another good look of mine tonight and found these weird looking white lines/dots at the bottom left of my screen.
Are these dead pixels or stuff underneath the screen?
HELP Please.....might have to get an exchange with handtec...so much hassles....
Those look like stuck pixels to me.

You have taken a pic with the default scratch guard on just remove and slightly clean the screen and see if it goes away, but most probably its 2 dead pixels, mine 1st one had 1. Quality issues with samsung !

I'm pretty sure it's not between the screen and the default protector....where did you buy yours from?
Seriously...I'm very disappointed with Samsung now....I mean, I have heard many people having problems with their screens, but never thought I would get one of them defected ones....
Looks like dead/stuck pixels I'm afraid.
Can you get a macro shot? It's kind of hard to tell without a closer view. When I've had stuck/dead pixels in the past, they've always been very discrete, tiny dots without any haze or blur, which it looks like yours has. I also wonder if it's something to do with the screen protection film. When you do a macro shot will you lift it and clean the screen?
Here....I have lifted up the screen protector....I didn't take off the screen protector was because maybe if I didn't handtec might exchange me the phone quicker....but what the heck...I need to be sure anyways...so here are the pictures.
Man.....so much trouble for this phone....very disappointed with the build quality of the screen now....
Now I will have to wait for a while to get my exchanged new phone ....
Any ideas how long it might take? I read on handtec that if the item is returned after 10 days...it will go under warranty and so does that mean they won't exchange my phone straight away??? Anyone got any experience with them??

nuh...I have tried to count them...there are a least 4 dots plus a line....very strange....they are also bright green instead of being white.....can't see them with the black background....
Shows you how bad of quality the phone I got....
I am very surprised I have not noticed them before.
Just found out online...there is a difference between stuck and dead pixels, and apparently stuck pixels can possibly be fixed yourself...might give it a try....
nuh...none of the apps seem to work
Been using JScreenFix for the phone for about half a day....just flashing the screen.....
I think the pixels have gotten a bit darker......don't know if it's my eyes playing tricks on me or not....but will continue to flash the screen for the rest of the day and then check it again tonight....hopefully then will be gone
The thing I don't really get is why the green dots (more than 3 of them) would only appear on Green, White and Grey backgrounds, and not appear on the Red, Blue and Black Backgrounds.....Anyone got any ideas?
because every colour of the spectrum uses green except for red, blue and some combination of red blue
black is when the screen is off

Hi there. I just bought the Note few days ago and I can confirm that I have the EXACT problem as yours. Except mine is just a dot. It's like a pixel that seems to be the only brighter pixel when the screen displays full green, white or grey background (specifically used the LCD test *#0*# & Burn-In Tester Pro app).
I assume that it is a stuck or a hot pixel simply because.. it lights up. Unlike dead pixel is like.. a dead bulb/pixel (Assumptions. HEHE.)
Actually on the day that I bought the Galaxy Note, I was really careful. I even dialed the *#0*# LCD TEST at the shop to look out for screen defects. It was FLAWLESS. So I bought it. And I have this habit to look out for defects even after purchase, so I always go to the LCD Test and Burn-In Tester Pro app to check, and is still perfect.
Not until, last night, I dialed *#0*# and hit "Black (Vibrate)" with the intention to check for the "blemishes/blobs" in a totally dark room. It was only apparent after my eyes had adjusted to the darkness and I do see the not so obvious blobs. So after noticing that, it didn't bother me so I happily watched an Blu-Ray quality video (Despicable Me) and that's when I noticed the BRIGHT pixel which I assume it to be a STUCK/HOT pixel. I hope it is just a stuck pixel which hopefully can be fixed over time. Don't know about hot pixels..
Right now I'm playing a Full HD video of a downloaded YouTube video called Pixel Fix, on loop, with Video Brightness set to full. My instinct says to try it out but i do know that after awhile, since it's an AMOLED technology, colors could be darker over time as the pixels slowly 'burn-out'.
AND if it doesn't work, I might try to turn off the phone and leave it somewhere really cool/chilled. And switch it on after awhile when it reaches room temperature. I read it somewhere that it works to remove stuck pixels. They put their phones in a fridge in a wrapping and they said it worked. I forgot though where I read it from.
Oh, it's this one --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21025093
Someone managed to fix a dead pixel. Hmm, but it's a phone with an LCD screen. Nyeh.
Good luck to us. Man, it was only few days ago when I bought the Note. *sniffs*
Seems quiet here. Seems like not many people have or aware of this bright spot defect.
But I found this which seems to concern about the matter. http://www.patentgenius.com/patent/7955151.html
I guess it gives some idea of what it really is. Cheers.
And I am gonna let this 'problem' go this time cos it's so small but I do hope that it won't get any worse. Or if it fixes itself that would be a miracle

All,
I notice when there is a lot of reflection in my screen that I could see blue lines crossing from top to bottom (not sure if you can understand me).
It's more noticable when the screen is receiving a lot of light from the sun and screen is black.
Have somebody found the same issue? I can't make a picture because they are not seen.
I'm thinking to go to Vodafone and ask for a new phone or double check it with another one.

Jordi
It is normal. The lines are the screen edges. They can be seen at the top, bottom, left and right edges of the screen when it is off.
You must be lucky then! If my guess is right it should be the oleophobic coating on the screen. And as you stated that you can see them that must only mean it was applied thicker than normal. Which means you won't likely run into fingerprint trouble anytime soon.

I have no idea what this means. Do you mean you can see lines on the screen edges or do you see blocks of little strips going from top to bottom? The first one is just the lamination of the screen, the second is just the touch sensor beneath the glass.
The lines are going from left to right through all screen (top to bottom).
It's hard to explain but if you play a little with the screen when is receiving the sun or there is a lot of light easy to see them.
For sure there is something applied more than normal or an issue screen process.
Just wanted to check if sonebody has the same issue or no as i dont have any other person to compare.
Thanks

Yes, that is the touch panel. Normal and unavoidable. HTC needs to go with in-cell touch to get rid of it. Even then, it might still be there.
I was surprised as i have other HTC phones like the Sensation, Touch Pro 2 and no lines shown.

Hey there,
I just noticed that on my 2 day old HTC One (FA35FW9#####, HTC_E11) has strange horizontal line on the screen. Even when it's turned off. It's visible on dark colours (black) when the screen is on. It's annoying. I tried to take a picture of it, but i don't have a lens that will focus on it. It looks like a solar panel of sorts.
Am I the only one that has this weird hardware issue, or is it well known?

Mine definitely has this, I didn't notice it until today outside in the sun. I don't see it at all when the screen is on though.
Hi,
I also see this on my HTC One grid when the display is lit on a black background and there is sun. Is it normal, everyone does it ? Or is it a fault and should it change ?
It's on mine as well...can see it under a very bright light...but not normal conditions...... Think it's the digitizer !???

Hi,
Thank you for your answers. So what is normal ?
Because I saw two other HTC One grid and it was much less visible than on mine, we only see screen off when the mine can be seen when the screen is turned on if the sun on the screen.
Do you think he should return it under warranty ?

Apparently the screens made by sharp have more visible lines than the ones made by JDI, but there's no way to know which is which without running an app to retrieve the information (or maybe viewing the screen under sunlight ). I can see the lines on mine but since I don't look at the screen when it's off I don't really care about them. You'll never find one where the digitizer is invisible, and buying a One is gambling on getting a good one vs build quality issues, so if that's all that's wrong I'd just hold on to it if I were you.

Horizontal lines approx 2mm apart are visible on mine too when screen is off...Noticed after 3 days i got it and was not sure if m i the only one who got it, untill i found this thread. I dont mind those lines if they are there, but it doesn't call for alarm right??

I've had this on two HTC Ones, so I think its normal. I also found that its only really visible when the screen is off.

Same here. Maybe because the pixel technology... Someone better in techs can say maybe.
Also if am right there is same question and discussion about that.

Just the digitiser in the screen. It is visible on all HTC Ones but, as said previously, a little easier to see on the Sharp panels.
Nothing to worry about.

Yeah i just noticed mine today when i was outside in the sun... :/
I just noticed this on my way to work this morning, now I can see it almost all the time whenever the screen is off or has a dark backround, for example I see it with the phone laying flat on my desk directly in front of me, what I would consider a normal viewing angle with the screen off or on with a dark background.
my phone is only 11 days old should I contact my carrier regarding this??, its kind of annoying.

No, it's normal and not annoying. You shouldn't be able to see it if you're looking directly at the phone.

Thanks for the reply, it does bug me a bit like but I guess I could live with it.
It is quite easily noticible from slight angles but not if I am looking at phone straight on. I have a couple of friends with the same phone, I will check theirs to see how visible it is on their handsets.
Want to get even more irritated with it? Pull up a white background, like in the text message app, stare really intensely at it, and you can see the lines very faintly and what appears to be a texture similar to cloth, not a smooth-like-paint texture that would be ideal.
Once you notice it, you'll always see it. Lol. Have a nice day!

Anyone else's display seem to have a yellowish tint? Mine seems very yellow looking at it straight on. But when I look at it angled either from the bottom or top it looks perfectly white with just a slight bluish tint. Either way it looks much better than yellow.
So what I'm trying to figure out is of I got a bad unit and if I should go get a new one. Only reason I am even considering not exchanging is the whole "scratchgate" bs.
Anyone care to weigh in?

Comparing mine next to my LG g3 I noticed a yellow tint as well. Not a deal breaker for me as I rarely compare screen to screen but I've owned a gs2,gs3, and gs4 and there is always some yellowish tint discussion that pops up. You can keep exchanging until you get a more bluish tone but I don't have the energy any more lol. Screen still looks great to me!!
Blame AMOLED tech. Your options right now are a slightly yellow screen with generally more accurate color reproduction or a slightly blue screen with less accurate overall color reproduction but mildly more pleasant whites (to most people).
It wouldn't be a big deal but its really bad because its centered. By that I mean when I look at all the different sides from straight on I can tell they are more blueish and it makes the center look even more yellowed. I realize the amoleds generally run warmer in tone but it seems to me that the whole screen should at least carry the same tone from the same angle. Obviously because of the curved nature the color will shift on the actual edges of the screen but everything else ought to be the same color/tone.
Or am I totally off base here?

Doesn't really answer the question which is...
A: is it possible that my display is defective since it really only shows a warm yellow tone in the center most portion of the screen?
B: is this going to be true for all sgs6e's or is there a chance of having one where the tone is the same throughout the entire display face.
I understand color shifting and how is inevitable, but I would at least like my screen to have the same tone from top to bottom (obviously the edges will have a different tone done they are being seen at an angle when viewing the phone head on) rather than Top:Cold Middle:Warm Bottom:Cold
Sent from my Samsung GS6edge
Just turned on Adaptive Display which seems to make the whole screen more uniform in tone temperature however angles are still a bit of a..... well..... bi*** because they remind me of the pure white coloring I've grown to know so well. But I suppose this is far more livable than before which was almost unbearable (thanks OCD).
May still try to swap for a new unit in a week or so just to see if anything has changed.

I have s6 edge too (32gigs black) (Indian Variant) and I also have the same problem. Coming from note 4 so this yellowish tint really is deal breaker for me!
you sure it isnt the adaptive screen setting?
what I found is if you are using the adaptive screen mode and reading a webpage w/ lots of text, it sometimes will change the tint to warmer which ends up with a yellowish screen instead of white, which may cause you to think that the screen is yellow (thats what I thought the first time I saw it)
try to change the screen type to some other settings and see if that get you the white color?
I am having the same problem. I know it's a defective screen because I have two S6 Edges here.
My black sapphire 32 gb has a white screen
My new gold platinum 64 gb has a yellow screen and its very annoying. I'm probably gonna exchange it

Hello . Please do tell if you use a screen protector film or glass . Cause i have the exact same problem and everybody saye it's the protector but i dont think so . It happend after a bootloop and because the phone turned too hot before i download the stock rom i decided to put it in refrigerator. Battey ran out and when It realized it the phone was too cold maybe next to 0 degree . After the flash was done I noticed the color has changed . So I'm kinda unsure
Wanted to see if anyone else's phone did what mine is doing. On a white or Light color I can see a darker line going up the ride side of the display. If your using the stock keyboard it lines up with the return key. There's another line going across the upper part of the display going left to right. Here's the weird part, if it wasn't for this I would definitely just say the display burned in somehow. The shadow lines are only visible outside in the sunlight. When I got the phone I did a screen test app and all looked great, but I did the test inside so I don't know if it was always like this in sunlight and I didn't notice or it somehow broke itself since then. I checked all my apps to see if they lined up with the lines and I can't find any that do so I really don't think it's burned in. I should mention I'm using auto brigjtness.
TL;DR : take your phone outside, on auto brightness looking at a white or Light screen and let me know if you can see shadow lines on the right and top of the display so I know if I have to return mine or not, thanks.

Yes. Its mostly people talking about the pink blotches, but there are some that have the gradient lines that are more visible with a black/white screen. Basically, take your phone back and exchange it and pray you get a better display (and not a worse one).
