Last night before going to bed, I noticed that when the phone boots up and if I have a wallpaper that's black, there are irregularly spaced black blotches. This is only noticeable in a dark room, you can't tell at all in a lit room.

Is this normal with Super Amoled screens (maybe glue drying under the screen?)....anyone ever see that and know if it will go away after a few days? Thinking about stopping by Verizon and having them look at it but wanted to see if anyone has ever seen it before going over. Figure if I spent $250, the screen should be defect free.

Thanks

Thank you for posting this, I encountered the same problem lady night when I was about to go to sleep. I have dark black spots scattered around my screen that are only visible in a very dark room in the areas where the screen is black, usually when phone boots up and when i'm waiting for YouTube videos to load on that black loading screen. But it doesn't show up when Web browsing or other activities.

What to do ,.is this normal? Functional wise phone works perfect but those black splotches are irritating if that's normal

Defective screens maybe? I haven't notice any sort of issue last night or this morning.

Anyone experienced this on super AMOLED screens? Does it go away after some time? Considering waiting a couple of days if still there will go into store to get it exchanged

Literally won't see those black splotches unless you're in a super dark room and looking at a black image/screen with screen ON, i.e. boot screen

so I had no patience and stopped by a VZ store after work. They took the phone in the back, saw the screen defect, and swapped it for a new one.

Nevildev, You might want to check that phone because I went to the store and we went through 5 razrs..and each one had splotches.

I went back to Verizon as soon as I got home and saw the splotches. The Rep and I went through 5 phones, and all of them had splotches. I ended up going with my previous one because it had the least amount. He said that he is going to contact Motorola because the splotches were on all of the phones.

Could this be the same thing as the iPhone's yellow splotches due to the primer still drying on the screens?

I'm glad i'm not the only one with this problem, it seems like its affecting alot of us. Im hesitant about getting my phone exchanged for another razr that had this "defect".

nevil did your replacement still have blotches as well?
