I'm having this weird line that comes on my screen which does not seem to go away no matter how much I seem to wipe the screen and try to clean it to my utmost in the end it always seems to come back as u cam see in the picture. Please help if u know of a way I can get rid of this. Also sorry for terrible image (laptop cameras really need to improve). P.S. Thanks in advance.
I don't see the line, only dot. Looks like a bunch of dead pixels. May be you dropped it? LED screens have this problem if you drop it. All you can do now is replace your screen. Sadly wiping it won't make it go away. lol
The photo is no help, it looks like it could be a screen protector peeling away on the long edge at the top in that picture - or the dark line running almost diagonally across the screen dividing dirty finger prints from clean screen; but either could be just reflections.
Was the screen on when the picture was taken? Is that a white pixel cluster or just lint?
Try taking a better picture and explain the problem a bit better.

Hello, I've had my diamond about a week, looked after it, no physical damage to it as far as i noticed...
but just been browsing and notice a small line about 1cm long across the screen only visible on light background, rainbow coloured. would this be a scratch underneath the screen? i dont feel any roughness on the outer screen. how would this happen, any solutions? cheers.

Same here...
Thats a fault with the screen, I work for a big TV company and that is the most common fault we see in our service centre! is it a green line? if so then its probably some dust on an internal connector, According to our engineers its easy to fix but invoves taking the whole screen off!
(this is how it works with TV's im pretty sure its the same with a phone screen!)
That's funny, I recently noticed the exact same kind of scratch on mine.
I can only tell with a white background though...
That happened to me aswell. Just do a soft reset, it worked for me .

We're not talking about the same thing here.
In my case, it's clearly a scratch considering I can see it with the device turned OFF under the right lighting conditions (and at a certain angle).
I can't tell if it's the screen protection or the actual screen that's damaged though and I don't really care to try to find out
OK, my tilt is under a month old and have two concerns regarding the screen. When using the slider, at the very top of the fully opened "motion" the screen ripples in the center as if it is being compressed with a finger. It is about half and inch in diameter and repeats if I slide the screen at the top of its fully opened position. Is this normal? It is visible under my solid blue background.
Secondly, under certain lights there is a rainbow effect when the screen is off. This is only noticeable if I have it under the light at specific angles. If I push my finger on the screen it moves as if the two layers of the touch screen are in constant contact with each other and in turn when I push on it, I can manipulate this location. This is visible under the center most part of the screen. I am using the original screen protector provided by ATT.
Just wondering if this is normal, if not, I'm tempted to return it and get a new one under the 30-day policy.
Thanks in advance!
Anyone please?
Ive never noticed anything like that. It sounds to me that there is some space between a few layers of plastic and that is causing diffraction of light which you see as the rainbow affect. If you have the option of replacing it with a new one I would. I mean if I buy something I want it to be in mint condition when I pay for it, not damaged.
I just got a tilt about a week ago and ive noticed that in the middle of the screen there seems to be a purple greenish tint when put against incandescent light. The size of said glint varies in size but i'm unable to see what changes the size. Not sure if its heat or pressure or something. The touch screen works perfectly its just really annoying to always see such an annoying glint.
An interesting discovery is that when i press all four corners of the screen it disappears and when i press in the middle of the little square it seems to spread out. I feel like theres some kind of material or something in the touch screen that is causing this due to pressure. I keep it in a hard case in my pocket so the screen isnt pressed on inadvertently.
I've searched the forum for any answers but i havent seen anything about it. Any response or help would be greatly appreciated. I'll try to get a picture of it up asap but i left my camera at a friends house and dont know when im getting it back...thanks in advanced

Do you see the same "annoying glint" under neon light (not day / sunlight)?
Lots of NOKIA and SONY ERICSSON phones for example get this screen recolorization under direct sunlight - this has nothing to do with the screen being defective but with the plastic above the screen which breaks the light and shows you this colored spots. If you can't see the same spot under direct neon light then this might be the cause.
It is normal that you get color changes while pressing the screen in. First of, you press / bent the protecting plastic and the liquid within the screen which causes the incoming light to break in a different angle, therefore the color changes. (BTW: you shouldn't do that too often, it can cause permanent stains on your screen!).
There sure is the possibility that your screen gets pressure from underneath due bad assembling! If you're still under warranty, try to get a replacement.
yeah you cant see it in day light. but i feel as though there is constant pressure on the screen between the plastic and liquid since the spot is always there and doesnt really go away (unless of course in daylight).
well im thinking im going to go back for a replacement. thanks for the quick answer!
Hi All,
When I bought the phone it was enveloped with a sticking transparent cover (as the ones you find on new phones, at least here) and the sticker on the screen has the samsung logo and Wifi/GPS and stuff like that written on it. The thing is, when open the market or scroll down the notification, I can see the residue of those words and markings imprinted, granted it is hard to spot but very annoying.
I have been trying to capture a photo with my camera but didn't succeed so far. Anyone had this problem before? or any ideas? is it a permanent damage to the screen or those are residues that can be removed?
Haven't noticed anything like that, but I suggest you try to clean your screen.
For cleaning I used a PC LCD screen cleaning solution, spraying it on a soft, clean paper towel and rubbing the screen lightly with it, taking care not to let any liquid in the phone speaker holes or the home button. Afterwards wipe the liquid with a clean, soft, dry paper towel. Makes my screen shiny and clean as new.
If cleaning doesn't work, I suggest you get it replaced.
Ok I've managed to finally take a picture that shows what I am talking about. The white note shows the exact covers that was on my phone.
Notice the HD Amoled and the circle around it? that's the one I can still see when the screen is showing colors same as the one in the picture. I can also see (but couldn't take picture of) the words GPS, the Wifi logo and a circle (android logo) in the bottom.
any ideas? is that permanent? is there a way to remove it? people don't notice it on my phone, but since I know it is there, it's becoming more and more annoying
I didn't have those stickers on my phone...

Hi
I'm having the same problem. Did you get this fixed?
Hey, got the Pixel 5 this morning and love it. However I have noticed that sometimes the front camera is not in the centre of the black circle, and the top left section of the circle isn't smooth and looks rather jagged edged. I have looked through the developer options but can't see anything to reset or turn off the black circle around the camera.
Does anyone have the same problem? Or any advice on what to do?
Thanks
Danny
My phone did that when I switched it on for the first time, the edges of the camera cut out and the 4 rounded rounded corners were jagged rather than smooth but after the setup it's been perfect since.
Ok thanks. I have just reset my phone again and it seems to be better now. Hopefully it will stay like that :good: cheers

I'm not sure what you mean that the front camera is not in the center of the black circle. The black circle IS the camera.
That is normal. You can see that everytime when the phone boots up. The software smoothes the edges and the punch hole cutout, once its booted up.
I have the same problem with the not centered camera, it's like it's missing the designated cutout for it in the screen and leaks out on the top left. Like the screen leaves black in the wrong place. Read the same things on reddit. Guess I gotta contact Google.
Resetting helped you?
