Samsung Galaxy S :: White Line On Screen / Damaged AMOLED Display
Oct 28, 2010
I bought a brand new Samsung Galaxy S on 8th October 2010 in Bangalore, India. two weeks later my screen developed a bright white line on the bottom. ( see pic attached ) I have not dropped or mishandled the phone in any way. I took it to the nearest samsung service centre... they told me that the display needs to be replaced ... They say that the phone display is out of stock and they dont know by when it will be available.
I feel really cheated ... after purchasing such an expensive phone one never expects it to malfunction in less than 2 weeks. And samsungs customer care reps very conveniently replied that they dont know when it will be in stock and to keep in touch via calls. So much for buying an amazing phone.

I am thinking of buying the Galaxy S as a second handset, but would like to know if any of the retailers that are selling this phone still come with the SUPER AMOLED screen?? I know there is a shortage of this type of screen so that is why I am asking.Would be put off if it doesn't come with SUPER AMOLED.

The display area of my SGS has been reduced there is now a black line (approximatively 1 millimeter thick) around the display now anything that should be displayed has been centered (a kind of)i have noticed that after press-holding the HOME BUTTON (to get to the task manager).even when the phone that black border is still there and it look like the screen has been pushed down the display is not now at the same level as the top-cover (or screen cover).I have used the factory reset but nothing has changed.My phone look horrible now.

Is there a way to check if your screen is a AMOLED display or SLCD. Without looking at the box it came in.

Ive only had my desire a couple of days and for some reason a white line has appeared across the screen, wondering if its been damaged. It hasnt been dropped or abused in anyway so quite confused. Tried a hard reset but to no avail? Pic attached if anyone can figure out otherwise back to the shop it goes!

All of the sudden a white line has appeared across the middle of my lock screen. If I open up the keyboard (so the screen becomes horizontal) the line also turns horizontal but doesn't go all the way across the screen (just extends the distance of the vertical width of the phone) The line does not appear when I log in, so it's not dead pixels. I tried changing the wallpaper, didn't do anything. Tried taking out the batter, but also didn't do anything. I tried the pixel fixer app, but again it's not dead pixels so obviously that didn't do anything either. Suggestions? I suppose the next step is to restore the phone to factor defaults (how do I do that?), unless someone has something else I can try

Are you kidding me ? Not only can I see this screen outside in the sunlight, I can see it outside in the sunlight WITH MY SUNGLASSES ON. Coming from the Dinc I had a very hard time seeing that screen in the sunlight. How could I ever go back to any other kind of screen? This SF reminds me of when I first started dating my wife. Wasn't the greatest when I first met her, but the more I got to know her the more I couldn't get enough of her.

Noticed yesterday that on the homescreen when the phone was locked that a missed call and voicemail notification appeared as pieces removed from a jigsaw overlay of the background homescreen image. Hadn't seen that before. Is that a default thing or can I change it (did look rather cool though). I usually use the pattern lock rather than the default swipe lock, so I'm wondering if it's to do with that default setting.

So I don't own a captivate, but I do own another Galaxy S phone, the Vibrant.The vibrant forums, people aren't really responding to the blue tint. So i'm wondering if you guys on the captivate have noticed that everything that should be white, such as a white broweser window, is actually tinted blue?If this is your first smartphone you won't notice probably, but if you own a prior LCD smartphone, try putting your screens next to eachother. Does the Galaxy S look blue?

Seems like most phones these days have a gimmick. My Vibrant came with Avatar preloaded and it is stunning on the AMOLED screen.
I would be surprised if some movie weren't thrown in on the phone on launch.

I have the following code:
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="line">
<stroke android:width="1dp"/>
<size android:height="1dp" />
<solid android:color="#FFF"/>
</shape>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background ="@drawable/line"/>
Why the line is black instead white? I have tried putting it inside a ImageView but the result is the same.
How can i set the opacity of the shape?

Having just moved to an Android 2.1u1 HTC Desire from an Android 1.5 HTC Hero, I've noticed that there a weird behaviour from TabWidget in that it shows a thick white line under the tabs instead of what I think it should do. Difficult to explain so here are two URLs: http://android.esstec.co.uk/images/how_it_should_be.png http://android.esstec.co.uk/images/what_it_is.png Initially the tabwidget looks like the first picture but when you do anything with it (change tabs for example), it looks like the second. These screenshots are from the Google provided API demos so I don't think it's my code, but I wanted to paste here before filing a bug. Anyone got any ideas?

I am using a <Button> widget in one of my layout. I created this button in disabled state. A thin white line runs through the button, at center horizontal, while it is in disabled state. And in enabled state it is normal like any other widgets.
Below is the layout code:

After the update was complete, I got a white screen with red letters at the top that says "Cannot find jpg or png!" and now the phone won't work. I cannot redo the update because it loses connection with it after the 2nd powercycle in the update. Is there a way to fix this?

Randomly, when actively doing stuff on the phone, I go to white lines running from the top of the phone to the bottom when the screen was in portrait position. There were two of them on the right side, each line being a couple pixels in width, separated by a few pixels of normal screen. It lasted for a few seconds, and then the screen reset itself. It's only happened once or twice, but it should happen at all with such an expensive phone and nice screen.

I reduced the number of home screens to one (I'm a minimalist) and it keeps showing a single white circle at the top. Is there a way to get rid of it since it's useless when you have only one home screen?

I put Cognition on my phone today, and made a backup image of the stock 2.1 before putting Cognition on. I decided I want to go back to the Stock, so I clicked the "manage backups" part of Clockwork, and "recover" on the image I saved. Next, the phone rebooted, and looked like it was installing the backup image, and rebooted again. However, it will not go past the White AT&T screen. Is my only option to use Odin to give it a factory reset? Or is there an easier way for me to do this?

When I try to run the app Neocore my moment screen gets all black and white and the only thing that shows up are squares, I can't even see a picture of any kind. I don't know what else to do and also when I run the game raging thunder I get maybe 5 fps to the game. Can someone explain to me what is going on? Is it possible that my hardware on the phone is defective or maybe the update I got from samsung for the 2.1 is not gonna work with it?

my brand new samsung fascinate just went white. I went to push the button on the side to unlock it, and just lit up white. I went to do a hard reset and it did not solve the problem. When i restart phone, i can hear the phone start up music, and the soft buttons on the front work, but all i see is bright white. I had someone call me, and my phone rang, yet all i saw was a bright screen. When it goes idol to black, it wont turn back on at all.

I used Notpod to transfer music into my Galaxy S2 in the SD Card file but after I disconnected there was a notification saying "Media Scanner Running" And after it finished scanning it gave me a notification that the SD Card have been damaged, try reformatting. I formatted the SD card and proceed to redo the whole thing again only to get the same messaged. I've restarted my phone, I've took the SD card out and put it back in but nothing seems to work.

So I have just bought a Desire and have noticed that it doesn't seem to display the colour white properly.
For example, if you go to the google webpage, the background is kind of almost a very subtle pink, not true white. In fact, the phone seems incapable of displaying bright white. Is this widespread or is it just me?
