Hi all,
About two hours ago i discovered a blue/purple kind of spot on my screen, no solid shape or anything...just a blue/purple "stain" Anybody know what this might be and how to solve it? |

I guess those screen are very fragile and subject to small damages easily, I would even call them "faulty", since I saw a few reports with the same problems...
hope samsung will not make any difficulty to take back those devices. |

I hope my retailer doesn't make any difficulty to take it back..bought my omnia on Friday, left it on my desk for the whole weekend and suddenly i notice this. Can't be my fault.
@ lastnikita, where did you see those reports? Perhaps it will convince my retailer

Its a stain looking blue purple colour on the left of my screen in the middle. Its a kind of diagonal streak. Im on orange |

I know it's not the same thing, but anybody notice that thing while touching the screen?
http://img508.imageshack.us/my.php?image=arrastamd7.jpg It dissappears in about 2 seconds, but I don't know if its right or not! I uploaded a video on youtube with the "problem": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6yOdfv4xsE Thanks This post has been edited by Zyxx: Sep 23 2008, 01:18 |

Have you been using the wifi/GPS for long periods?
I know the units can get warm under long use, wonder if it's related. -------------------- 3 mobile where the words "customer" and "service" only exists in the dictionary

Zyxx the image in your link does not load and what is the youtube video supposed to be showing? unfortunately the quality does not quite show what you call "that thing while touching the screen?"
phillipxenciel it does sound like you have a dead pixel but this topic is slightly different. -------------------- 3 mobile where the words "customer" and "service" only exists in the dictionary

Hum... It's working here, but I attached here to make it easier  I don't know how to explain it, but its like a shadow where you touch the screen, also I find the center of the screen hard to detect my touchs and while typing messages it's annoying to press keys like "t", "y" harder! And often they repeat, I press once and it appears like I clicked twice! I don't know if its a faulty screen or firmware problem (i'm using G4), but the shadow problem is for sure hardware related. Any hints? I don't know if my screen is faulty, firmware bugged or I'm just a "perfectionist"  Thanks! This post has been edited by Zyxx: Sep 23 2008, 22:01

^Are you using a screen protector? I have something similar, but it's not as bad as from what I can see from your picture, and it does not have the blue tint too.
Also, how hard are you pressing the screen? I think if you press it hard enough, it becomes more obvious especially without a protector, for me, it disappears almost immediately and you can barely see it on backgrounds other than white
-------------------- Like the work I've done for you?
Then I would really appreciate it if you could help me out. It will encourage me further and of course produce better work.  A dollar or any amount you could spare will be greatly appreciated. |

I'm not using screen protector and i'm not pressing so hard, but not so soft! If I don't press a lil bit hard I have problems scrolling ou getting it to "accept" the touch

There you go... try using a screen protector. Seems slightly better if you use one and really cannot tolerate the shadow.
