" ... Now its the 2nd time I'm facing the problem with a half screen dead issue and my warranty is also completed. ... "
" ... - The screen, atleast in my case, I noticed some defects in the screen, for example there are 4 icons on the notification tray, which have been there for more than 15 mins, after I clear those icons the notifications are gone, but the pixels still show a translucent shadow of those icons for the next 10 mins, this happens for everything that is displayed on the screen for a while, after I remove that thing, it's shadow/ghost remains on that area of screen. ... The always on display only caters to these 3 types of notifications, to see any other notifications, you'll have to turn on the screen. ... "
