Hello everyone! This morning, I removed the screen protector that came with my replacement display which I have been using for months now because it had too many scratches. After removing it, nothing was out of the blue until I noticed a large patch of uneven pixels in the shape of a rectangle. Can someone explain to me why this happens and the best way to solve it?
I've read some others had luck by just leaving it alone and letting it disappear on its own (usually within a week or so). My screen does not show any signs of screen burn-in and only shows image retention when watching 16:9 content for long periods of time (~usually 40 minutes at most)

This is an image of my phone with the said rectangle.
App: OLED Tools
The rectangle is mostly noticeable when viewing dark images or gray backgrounds. It is also noticeable when looking at dark greens.
Mine did the same thing after removing my glass screen protector (Dome). Took a good 3 weeks to a month to fade enough that I can just ever ever so slightly notice it. I was really bummed out because the phone is flawless, and I wanted to change to a new protector.
But yeah, it faded away. I just looked again and I can't see it anymore.
I don't understand how the screen protector has anything to do with that or why it wasn't visible before. Disconcerting...
It's really very odd. First phone that has ever done something like that.
All I can say is always use OEM parts with these devices. That includes the adhesive strips.
I've repaired Canon pro cams before and having the exact parts makes the difference.
I hope it works out for you.

It was replaced by an authorized Samsung Service Center I know the parts are legit.
It's been a few weeks now, and it's not as noticeable anymore!

I have attached a photo of my AT&T Tilt. I recently dropped it and I want to know if I just need to replace the screen or if there is another issue. The phone works perfectly but the screen has weird colors and distortion. Also, this is the screen I was looking at purchasing to replace the damaged screen: http://cgi.ebay.com/New-LCD-Touch-S...c0.m14&_trkparms=65:16|66:2|39:1|293:2|294:50 .

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it might have to do with the ribbon cable that goes to the screen.

I just had a similar problem. Dropped my work laptop right on my screen, corner first mind you haha...
I bought this http://cgi.ebay.com/US-LCD-Screen-D...trkparms=65:12|66:1|39:1|72:1234|293:2|294:25
and got it fixed no problem. Took about 2 hours of tearing it apart and reassembling to do.
The screen includes the cable so if that is the issue then you are still fine. The screen comes with the dissembler tool, and the security screwdrivers you will need.
See the Kaiser Wiki for full disassemble instructions that worked quite well for me.
bobtheamazing - can you let me know how is the quality of the new screen?
uzim289 if you bought yours - can you let me know how the quality of the screen is ?
and any personal advice if i decide to take mine apart. Thank you.
I took mine to Vegas, kept it in my pocket, it was sure hot and my screen cracked... need to replace but wasn't sure if i should spend $80 on a certain website of just go the route of ebay.
Before you buy another screen I would recommend taking the phone apart first and just checking to see if the connector is loose. How far of a drop was it and what kind of surface did it hit?
This site
http://www.fonlogix.us/att-tilt-lcd-screen.html
I got my replacement screen from here and it was the best decision. trust me. I replaced my screen about 4 months ago, and my Tilt is just fine.
I bought a replacement for my Kaiser at Marktplaats.nl but that's for the netherlands. Replaced the lcd according the video from Fonlogix. I uploaded the video allso a while ago to youtube which made it verry easy to replace and now it works like a charm again. You might whant to check THIS SITE for a replacement.
Good luck.
:Edit:
I just noticed Fonlogix is cheaper
I replaced my sons Tilt LCD been like 8 months now works perfect no issues!
Not that hard to replace the screen just have to keep a sharp eye out for the teeny tiny screws!
Anybody know where to get the 'teeny tiny' screws? As I was removing the job wheel assembly, the small silver-colored screw was stripped out. Funny, it was the correct screwdriver size and everything, and other screws came out fine.
I was taking some notes in the app Skitch and found out that I can't draw on the right edge of the screen. I only found this out recently since apps like S-Memo don't extend to full-screen so you can never write till the edge of the screen while in apps like Skitch and SBM you can utilize the entire screen.
Here's a pic for better explanation...

Please test this for me and post your results. It's been bugging the hell outta me! I'm thinking of going to the service centre.
Hi,
do you have any kind of cover with some magnets maybe ?
Magnetic fields affect the s-pen. I had a cover which had a magnet and it affected the s-pen
in a way I couldn't write in the edge close to the magnet....
pretty sure its a known issue

Nope. Just a plastic cover. Its frikkin annoying at times while taking notes!
since we are talking about the S-Pen here, i would like to know how to improve the accuracy of the S-Pen. i did a accuracy test and the pen was WAY OFF.
I tested some more and found out that there's a similar issue with the bottom edge of the screen, only much worse. There's a decent amount of area where the pen doesn't work.
As a request, could somebody please test this out? Try Skitch (or preferably Zen Brush or SketchBookMobile since they're completely full-screen). I've already tested on a friends Note and she doesn't have this problem. If I'm a lone case, I'll try the service centre.
EDIT: If someone does test this, try to draw along all the edges.
I was just about to make a new thread when I saw yours. I have the same issue.
I am right-handed and the phone's setting is set to right-handed, this is how it looks when I draw a line from the left side of the screen all the way to the right until the S-Pen disconnects from the screen:
You can clearly see that the line is cut-off ~0.5cm before the edge. If I hold the S-Pen in the left hand and drag a line from right-to-left, I get the same effect on the left side of the screen. Disappointing.
-EDIT: Oh, crap, I thought this was the Note 2 subforum.
Just returned my SGS5 due to an air bubble or something under the front panel.
I've seen a lot of black SGS5 with this issue on one of the corners or around the home button. It is visible with sunlight or under a lamp. You need to pass your fingers around the front panel and then they will appear.
Check these pictures I took to see what I mean:

On the white model it can't be seen. Only on black ones.
Check to see if you have it.
Mines fine....had it since release
That happened to my friend but only after he dropped it, luckily on the carpet. Very cheap work from Samsung on a flag ship.
And it's really annoying... any way to fix it?
I had that develop - had the phone since launch day and the bubble developed 2 weeks ago. I took it into Samsung repair Centre and they replaced the screen within the day.

Disappointing to see such quality issues on their flagship.
Checked mine, looking fine so far, have it since launch.
It's mostly noticeable on the black model and in daylight at certain angles.
I've also seen it around the home button.
I've checked several black ones with this issue on stores.
None of them have the tempered glass screen protectors do they? I would hate to see everyone freaking out because their screen protector isn't lined up exactly how it should and creating the same problem.
I can speak from experience. Not that I thought my screen was messed up, but from how there is 0% tolerance with some of the tempered glass screen protectors and they need to be lined up perfectly or else around the corners they will have air bubbles exactly as everyone here shows.

Yes. Mine too, but the glass protection has been changed from 2 monhs ago. There is no scratch on it and I don't use cover
It's a really weird issue.
A guy above said he's was fine and the bubble appeared 2 weeks ago.
Is this something that can appear at a later time?
I think this is due to the waterproof protection.
..
I have spent quite a lengthy amount of time tonight scouring the Internet trying to find something. I had a clear plastic film that I bought off eBay from China for my Note 7 (as well as tempered glass camera/heartbeat sensor protection...) but we all know what happened to that.
The seller is no longer selling them or I would purchase more as I believe the home buttons are the same dimensions between s7/n7.
My s7 is sitting in my n7 symmetry case with the factory screen cover still attached until I pick up a defender. I'm forced to leave the cheap protector on under the defender until I can find something for the home button..
Any ideas? I'm fine with film/vinyl/metal. Just want something to keep it from looking like the God awful photos I see online..
Thanks!
Just curious with clear home button, can u still use the fingerprint scanner
Sent from my SM-G935U using Tapatalk
Would all depend on material used but it worked with the one I had on my Note 7.
I actually found some on ebay from Hong Kong. Not sure why I missed them first time around.
I'll let you know in... 2-3 weeks..
I can't see how the fingerprint sensor would work with a plastic film on top of it...
I got set of stickers few days ago, fingerprint scanner was not working after applying, but I deleted previous fingerprint scans and set up new ones. Now fingerprint scanner works same like before, no issues. As you can see on picture below, sticker is really thin (damaged one on display for comparison) and it's hard noticeable on home button.

What screen protector are you using?
It's curved PET film protector. I bought it on Ebay I guess.
I didnt want to say the brand of skin in title, cause i feel like im advertising the company or something.
Ill attach a screenshot of the image I was going to use, it shows the company im thinking of using, i know nothing about it, they could be utter trash skins.
Anyone used this before? how was the outcome?
thanks.

hmm, im actually going to crop that pic more, looks like a freakin ad dude. honestly how do you even talk about stuff on here without sounding like a shill
ok there, i covered half the company name, and this thread was asking people if theyve used it before, so if they have that should be enough.
I've used this company's product before and it's a good product for what it is. With that said, I took mine off after a few days because I couldn't stand the slight feeling of stickness around the edges. I don't think that's really preventable, so it's not a knock on quality, it's just a nature of having a wrap. I also noticed pocket lint and the occasional hair getting stuck in the glue at the edges. For me it just seemed janky so I went back to a normal case.

cool, thanks. and yea, im not getting this for protection - seeing as it provides absolutely none. But, maybe there is a way to buff the edges after application to dull the glueiness, who knows. either way i will see how it is.
