Anyone else notice that the tint of the bottom row of capacitive buttons have a warmer tint than the screen itself? My buttons look more yellowish compared to the screen, which has a cooler color tone to it... Normal?

Yes, its funny but that is the first thing I noticed with the GS2 when I got it. They do kind of look yellowish and they seem to be brighter than my cappy is.
Same thing with the old Captivate, as well. I guess it's just an AT&T thing to make the lights have a yellowish tint and less bright. Who knows.
yea kinda sucks .. My infuse (now wifes) has blue .. I liked that look better.
My captivates buttons are yellowish as well.

Ok thanks. I actually had an international s2 before this, and the buttons on that were bluish as well. I don't know why att messes with stuff like this :/

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone else had this problem. When using Screen Filter to turn off the bottom softkey row backlight, the search key is still slightly illuminated. I can only guess this is light bleed from the LCD? Just wondering if anyone else had it.
Thanks.

Thanks, now I don't feel alone haha. I confirmed it's the LCD by changing the brightness of the backlight in settings, and the key gets bright/dim with it. Not sure if all Evo3Ds are like this.

Yup is the LCD light.. I have the same glowing search.

It so you can find the search button in the dark, a exclusive evo3d feature.
how bright are your capacitive buttons? Mine seem a lot dimmer compared to my skyrocket I had. also I noticed my middle home button is a little dimmer compared to the other 3. should be an issue or leave it alone? Other than that it works perfect

Mine are much brighter and more evenly lit than my Captivate, sooo .
i believe your brightness/power saving options also affect the capacitive brightness... i would do a test at night and adjust your brightness and see!
My first phone I bought they are bright! My second one, a little dim oh well.
I have my capacitive buttons only light up in the dark. No need in well lit scenarios for them to be lit.
The white note capacitive backlighting kind of bleeds through the surrounding area so that's kind of ugly. Oh well I can live.

Mine seem just as bright on my white note as they were on my white skyrocket.
my note has a bit of a dim home. I went to the store to exchange it but they said that the demo had the same problem and a couple other white phones so I guess its common

Yeah that bleed is lame, it's about the only thing I don't like about the phone. I just turned the buttons off. After a few days of playing with it I know where they're at.
The SkyRocket lights up more of a bluish white. While my note lights up white/tan color, its bright but i liked the illuminated color of the SkyRocket. It reminds me of LED shades.
-On another NOTE, Samsung goes 5.3"
Wish mine was as bright a my Skyrocket.

there is some bleeding yes but that would have to be modified by whoever will make custom kernels
I notice this too, I think its just because of the similar color of led and face color. I'm sure its not as noticeable on the carbon blue. Slight side effect of such a great color.

Yea, did not have that issue with my blue one. I swapped it out for the white one yesterday.
I was jealous of my girlfriends white Note. Just turned the lights off. Issue fixed for now.

If you think that's bad you should see the white skyrocket. Now that was bright. Gnote is no where near as bright as the skyrocket. I think the skyrocket uses some kind of LED lighting which if you can get pass how bright it is, it looks a lot better.

I actually noticed them in the AT&T store. I figured it was a Samsung issue. I just turned off the lights. Don't really need them anyways.
This is a problem? Really??? Not trying to be an A-hole but I didn't notice it at all. The Beast needs bright lights! lol

LOL.. On some phones it's kinda overkill.. Just a stray bright light in the corner of your eye when you're looking at the screen.
ok,so I decided to get an S3 after a long confusion between it and the gnex but I'm still not sure which color should I get.I've seen both colors in reality and surprisingly,they both look much better in real life than in pics.I like both but I want to get the white 1 for a change since I never had a white phone.I'm just wondering if anyone with a white S3 got any problems with it like color fading/scratches on the brushed metal sides/button light or notification-LED bleeding into the screen or any other problems.
IDK about the white since i dont have one, but im sure as heck no one complains about the blue : D
Yeah, it isn't blue....
Seriously though, I own both colours. There is no noticeable difference in how they work, its just the colour... Get your preference...
There are many colours to choose now.

I got the white because I can't wait for anything, wasn't that keen to start with but now I'm really happy with it. I think it looks a quite classy now. I think I even prefer it over the blue... sorry blue fans :laugh:

My first white phone ... love it. It looks good and even the white glow from the capacitive keys I think is a nice touch whether it be on purpose or not. I dig it.

Just to be clear so there is no confusion for the OP. The "bleeding" is not into the screen its self but into where its white around the screen. And like Coreym said, it adds to the phone IMO, makes the whole white bezel glow. Not a problem for me.

OK,it seems that there aren't any problems with it except the button bleed(which doesn't bleed into the screen) but I can just disable the lights,or keep it cuz I might like it Thanks all,can't wait to get my hands on it
I bought the white yesterday. I'm loving it (except for the massive battery drain, it's the same as mi iPhone 3G).
Didn't like the blue colour, so went for the white. It's gorgeous.

No real problems at all with the white, and I think the blue with the curved edges do make it look a little too cheap for my liking, especially on the back cover.

I disabled the lights too, every 3 seconds they went off... very annoying.
I have blue, my partner has white. Personally the white one looks cheaper with the back light of the soft buttons shining outside of the button stencil, but it sure as hell is sexy as fook.

Yep there is a topic on it in general section I think. "ink marks" or something. Personally I think it is not a major problem. I have 2 or 3 tiny spots but most of the time we don't use the phone in a pitch black environment, nor are we looking at a pure black screen (how often do you spend in the homescreen?). It would however be an issue if it was noticable during movies, games etc, where the viewing experience is paramount

Yes true, it would be an issue if it was visible while watching movies and such.. but question is how long should this ink spot last compare to the other parts of the screen?
What does this ink indicate?
Yes I have them and it annoys me. And I don't understand why people defend it and say it's okay, we've all paid a lot of money for these phones how is it okay or acceptable to have black dots all over the screen? Yes it's only under very specific conditions but that's not the point, it is extremely annoying watching movies when they fade to black, when in the app launcher under dark conditions. And it's not just 1 or 2 small dots it's like someone broke a black pen and flicked it all over the screen.
It's just the way how the amoled is made. Every amoled has it. Don't worry. U won't notice that after while

I've only had the phone a few days now so I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt since everything I've read is saying you get used to it but...... It's there..... There are dots on the screen every time there's black, how do you get used to that? I understand every AMOLED screen has it but don't you think that if it's that big a problem then the screens aren't ready for prime time and need to improved? I've found myself using white everywhere when black is what saves battery on an AMOLED screen and black looks good on an AMOLED screen but I can't stand the dots.
