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?
Am I right in saying that there are four IR sensors on this device? I thought I saw one in each corner but lately, whenever I wave my hand over the bottom half of the phone, the screen does not light up.
Yes, if you want to see if they're all working, video record it with another phone or camera, you should see the IR sensors shining.

I tried with an iPhone and nothing came up...
Where is the fourth? Mine only has 3. Bottom two corners and upper right. Mine also does not light up if I wave over the bottom, but I can see the sensors firing, they give off a bit of red light. It's pretty easy to see in the dark, even with a naked eye.
There is only 3 and they are visible with the naked eye. Top right, and bottom corners.

I seem to remember mine working when I passed over the bottom, but now it is not. I can also see them glow red, but they don't seem to work anymore. Did yours ever work?
They never go right. The actual light is invisible to our eyes. You see the red dots when you catch it in certain light. But that's the sensor itself not the light its producing
Yeah my bottoms aren't working either, also if u go into attentive display, it doesn't work for me, the picture never pops up. Anyone care to give it a try, I haven't took the update, didn't know if that was anything for it.

Yup. Maybe an update broke it? I know it worked when I first got the phone then I turned it off.
Edit: they do turn on when I approach the phone. So I know they work.
I hadn't took the update so that's weird, idk hopefully it will be figured out. I see the sensors light up so their working I just can't figure out what's going on, glad its just not my phone.

The red dots go on and off when you move across the bottom of the screen. It's definitely not the sensor itself, because if you hold it in the same angle, the light also goes off.
As far as the bottom of the screen, mine has never lit up my screen by reaching across the bottom. I think the bottom sensors work in conjunction with the gyro, so that when you pick it up it turns on, but the sensors themselves never turn on my phone. If I wave across the upper right one it will though. It's been this way on all 3 Turbos I've had.
The 4th is near the middle on top. You can see them in this video.

The bottom sensors only work in a dark room for me. When the turn on they go bright then dim, and then they will sense my hand. Try it.
Yesterday i got a mi 8 6/128 and i found for now 2 issues till now the first one is that when i want to take slow motion video it flickers a red light like hell, the second one is the screen itself when holding the phone and looking at it straight in front the color of the screen seems a bit yellowish also the colors are a bit under saturated when i see the screen from a side view even from bottom or from any side the colors pops out and the white backround is white as it should be i think it has something to do with the front glass that covers the panel and i don't know if there is a way to fix that, i use cool color reproduction on settings but it still annoys me.

or they use the same type of display like oneplus didt in op1
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.
