Might be the oled glass but this is quite pricey. Tip, point a uv led at it and view off axis, if only part of screen fluoresces it has internal damage.

Sounds like you killed the AMOLED screen in the fall. Are you up to fixing your phone your self? Do you have the patience and the tools? If not you should try to find someone who can fix it for you.

If your up to it you'll need to review the IFIXIT guide Samsung Galaxy S III Front Panel Assembly Replacement and locate a new Front Panel Assembly.

@mint frost, yes that should fix it. A new display is around $60 USD and it is not to difficult to repair. Here is the guide for it.

My phone had a purple outline of a box in the middle with spots mainly on the edge of the screen and restarting didn't do anything. I didn't drop it or spill anything on it so what do I do?

Most likely your screen is damaged, you'll need to replace it.

I shattered my galaxy s7 a few days ago and I got it replaced with a new screen. Now in the upper left hand side of my phone has purple smudge on it. It keeps getting bigger and bigger. I just don't know what to do

They're are called "Dead Pixels". It's when the tint of the phone spreads because you hit it too hard or because of a hard drop. Here is the best solution:

1. Turn off your phone

2. Put pressure on the dead Pixels

3. While putting pressure on it,turn your phone on and keep putting pressure on it until it goes away.

If it doesn't work then you either have to get another LED screen or another phone. Right not I have to same problem. I hope this helped!

one of my friends dropped my phone by accident and it had a purple splash kind of spot in one corner. i thought it was fine because it was really small and i could still use my phone. after an hour or so it started getting bigger and i panicked. Some answers said to factory reset, so thats what i did. It still didnt work. I saw someone said put pressure, so i did and it got worse MUCH WORSE. now the whole screen is weird and glitchy and im so scared my parents are going to be so mad please help.

This is how to fix a squirting tint LED:

  1. Turn on your phone.
  2. While it's on,put pressure on it.
  3. Turn off your phone while still putting pressure on it (For about 30 seconds)
  4. Turn on your phone while still putting pressure on it,stop putting pressure if it's fixed,if it's not,keep putting pressure until the Dead Pixels (Black/Pink/Purple/Blue spots) are gone.

Hi. I have a galaxy j7 pro. I operated it with wet hands some time back. It had no problem. 5 days later it fell down and hit the floor. Since then it has had this darkening of the screen from right to left. The darkening is blackish purplish and is spreading every other minute. It is hard to read contents on my right side if the screen where the darkening started.

Please HELP!!
