I have around 4 stuck pixels. They show up on grey screens as little light dots. Gets kind of annoying watching movies when and such. Tried the jscreen fix from the market but no luck.
Is this pretty normal? What's Sprint/htc policy? Just wondering if every phone has a few. Thanks in advance?

Take it back, tell them you want an exchange due to screen defect. If it's one lone pixel I can see it being dismissible but a cluster is not good.
In the general market they usually have a dual standard.
up to X amount of pixels bad is considered within tolerance however if the pixels are adjacent then the threshold is lower so it would fail quality control.
If they give you grief just ask for a refund and rebuy it
Take it back. Its defective. They will replace it

i turned on camera in dark room and i see like 3 pixels blue/green
has anyone tried that?
i tried my friends , turning on camera in completely dark room and didnt see any pixel issues
I have found from all these devices it is pretty common to see a stuck pixel here and there. I think you have to decide how bad it is or isn't. Sure you can exchange it but then you have to keep worrying if the next one will be worse and it will then become a never ending cycle!
this is true

Curious what you re going to do? I have 1 tiny one on the side of the phone that is only noticeable in a dark room on a black background. On the fence on what to do....I went through this with my TP2 and went through 4 phones and ended up keeping the best one of all of them but still had a stuck one. Just wasn't as bad as the other 3.

That program didn't fix my issue and with the other program I noticed a total of 4 all generally in the center of the screen. I am going to have Sprint exchange and see what happens on the next one. Since yours is in the corner I would let it slide.

I had to do this yesterday and they gave me so much trouble about having a dead pixel. Yeah, it is pretty particular to complain about but didn't we buy a brand new phone?!
I bought mine online, so I am not even going to deal with the store.

Good idea. I stopped by the store today and they just about laughed me and my 5 stuck pixels out of the building.....tossers.
They ran a "test" and said everything was fine and a few stuck pixels were fairly normal. I called sprint and they offered a new phone that should be here Monday. Kudos to sprint!
Hopefully the new one doesn't have the same problem.

I'm not sure you are referring to the issue that made the screen gradually faded to a lighter color on one side, that was a software issue fixed on recent ROM releases.
99% have that tint? Ive never seen it in real life... Mine is normal, no yellow/blue tint, I got it at release day.

I don't think I am that blind compared my screen to a new sg2 I don't see the yellow or blue ting I purchased mine Aug 3rd. Is anyone who purchased their SGII in North America having this issue or is it just the first release batch outside of North America that is having this problem? Some on asked for a screen shot so we can all see what your looking at how about it.

you know what they say thou beauty is in the eye of the beholder , so im guessing most people either a don’t notice it , or b simply live with it.
I showed my first phone which was quite bad to numerous people some people spotted it straight away and was shocked like me, others didn’t but did notice it when pointed out, but said they could live with it on another note they all noticed the pink spot instantly anyhow .....
I’ve had 2 now both from different batches and awaiting third tomorrow ive checked the device out in numerous shops and they all had it to various degrees along with smear / ghosting text (which not many people seem to complain about). Reminds me of when Sony released there flagship tv the x3500 followed by the led version the x4500 both of these flagship tvs had smear / ghosting. This was acknowledged as a draw back of that technology as the panel needed to warm up.
However Samsung haven’t said anything in relation to this i.e. if its a fault or a drawback with the technology which leaves most people who are unhappy with there device swapping it endlessly looking for a perfect / working model free from yellow tint or pink spot when in reality there is no such device.
thanks bcoz of ur replays.
but today i c one of my friends that have sgs2 and they sgs2 have not this issue )
i root and install cm7,criscelo,Villain,litening but i never c yellow issue in left side
NOW I AM LOOKING FOR A NEW SGS2 WITH OK LED :d
THANKS

You can replace the screen a million times, the software is the culprit... the issue has been fixed by Samsung. They adjusted the screen sensors to distribute evenly the light intensity.
Fun test for yawl... If you find the "tint" noticeable... Go to display settings, turn OFF the option that says "Auto adjust screen power"
viola.
No more tint.
however, only a true black pixel is "off" now, and battery might suffer, I haven't played too much with it, but I noticed it.
It is a software issue, but the reason some people see it more often than others, is simply the color of the images and text that they display on their screen more often. OLED will always have "warmer" tones than a standard LCD, you can tweak the software to cool them, but they are noted for VIVID color, not accurate color

Weli i have the latest software there is xxxkh4 but the issue remains
i just got my S3 and i m so worried and so sad people!
i got the pebble blue s3. i have issues with my screen. i ran the screen test and found the same dark spots on my screen when screen is black. there are lots of them. i dont have nice camera to take pic of those dots. they are really annoying because i surf the internet a lot and these dots are very visible specially in the dark!
the other issue is something with the viewing angle. when i hold the device right next to my eyes (as we all do most of the times) the screen seems to be more yellowish and the colors seem to be alot washed away! but when i change the viewing angle like just a little, i mean when i tilt the device just a little the colors get normal the way they should be!
the next thing is the pink tint. in the browser the white pages are EXTREMELY PINK! yes EXTREMELY PINK! that happens at the automatic brightness!
when viewing the black color on the sceen, when the capacitive touch buttons are on the light of the menu button seems to leave its light on the screen. and the blacks are NOT AT ALL BLACK!!!
people i am so tensed and worried! can someone help me out of these problems? i have read that the white S3 does not have any of this problem is it true? i have also read that the dark spots are because of the glu used and those would go away with time, but i dont believe in that! should i send the device to claim warranty and get it repaired? pls pls pls some one help me! i have spent all my money i had saved for the past 4 months for this set and i even sold my Galaxy Note for this! i am so much tensed! pls help me guys!

You got a defective unit it happens. So send it back or get it repaired / exchanged. You spent a lot of money you should get a product that works as intended without defects. The sooner the better you'll be much happier. Best advice I can give you. All without the need to jumping off a bridge or if you do hope that you that you land on kyan to break your fall.

The block splotches are absolutely not indicative of a bad display.
They are present on virtually every OLED screen, ranging from the Nexus One's, to the PlayStation Vita's, to the Samsung Galaxy S3's.
I can't speak for your other issues, but people need to understand the splotches are common on pretty much any OLED. Some can see them easily, some seem to be unable to, but it does not mean the panel is defective.
Why are you on here? I see you just joined the site recently. How about you learn to be polite and if you can't, then leave.

yeah u r right. i guess my set is faulty. but i thought this might be something that would get ok with time. but that does does not make any sense. if those dots were something related to the glue, those should have been vanished by now as the set is old now. i mean it should have been produced at least like 1 or 2 months ago.
man i am ruined! i feel really so so bad! i just got up its 7 here in the morning and i am so badly hurt! and great news is that today is complete shutter down strike here in my city Karachi. so all the market and whole of the city is shut down. so i cant go to the store and return the device!

You have to admit though that it was funny
I use an app called dead pixel test, and it allows you to cycle through several different solid coloured screns, like all white, all black, red blue etc. No probelms with my screen, but I have a screen protector on it now.
Does yours have a screen protector that could be affecting it? Otherwise just return it as faulty.
I also have the pebble blue and screen is amazing. No issues here. Did notice the marks on a completely black screen in a dark room once but it hasn't showed since. Didn't really bother me.

i wanted to just ask everyone if anyone else had those issues and got them resolved by any means other than returning the phone. and i dont want u to do anything about this man! why are u even looking at my post if u dont want to help
Hello, i just bought my i9300 a few weeks ago. All seemed normal when i noticed that when i was viewing a gray screen ( e.g. a game loading ) or anything that wasnt completely black, there were some spots in my screen. I thought at first that it was some graphics or glitch from the game, but then tried loading another game with a similar gray screen and they were still there. They arent scratches or anything like that ,it seems that its from inside the digitalizer. I dont know if i can even put a photo of that, because its not easily visible. My phone obviously has its warrany voided due to some rooting. If i flash the stock firmware, unroot it and run triangleaway, do you think i would be able to swap it for a brand new?
Hey mate, I have the exact same problem I keep thinking it's my eyes or something but I guess if your seeing it as well maybe its a problem with the device?
Do you also see the screen sort of flickering at certain points?
Well documented problem with many handsets..

I wish 1900 was active in my area (NJ/NYC), but it isn't. It's only active in a handful of places. If it was, I would have the One X already. I went to the T-Mobile store with cash in hand ready to pay full price for the gs3. My Amaze is good, but the short battery life is frustrating. I also would love a larger screen. After holding the two phones side by side, I cannot get past the blue screen when it should be white. Open a web page and compare the backgrounds of the Amaze or One X to the Gs3 and it is painful. I decided to suffer with my Amaze until HTC or someone else releases a new flagship with a great battery and a screen that shows white as white. Please be the One X+!!!.

I think the device in store had issues, I have a tmo s3 that's as white as white can be, no blue tint what so ever, so you should check back, even have em check the device you get specifically before you leave the store to be sure it's okay, mine is, well, PERFECT.
And I'm in NYC, it's not covering the entire NYC area as yet but my area is, so eh that's good enough for me.

I have checked multiple s3s from all the carriers, it's all of them. I am not imagining this, its a well documented problem. Just Google Galaxy s3 blue screen. If I had never seen the screen on my Amaze or the One X, I could probably have lived with it. But having seen what a proper display looks like, I can't bear to own an inferior product, even with its other advantages that I crave. For some people its not a big deal. I wish it wasn't a big deal to me, because other than the screen, the gs3is awesome!

But having seen what a proper display looks like, I can't bear to own an inferior product, even with its other advantages that I crave. For some people its not a big deal. I wish it wasn't a big deal to me, because other than the screen, the gs3is awesome!

this made me LOL...i have a launch s3, build date 6/16, and its flawless. never seen blue whites or anything of the sort. when a phone sells 10 million units in what, 2 months? theres bound to be some defective devices. btw, hows HTC doing these days? i hear they're posting losses
and if you think the amaze/one x has a better screen than the s3, see your local optometrist guy, you may have cataracts, or even worse, you may be blind

I have a Galaxy S3. The screen is beautiful. I'll let you know when I see the blue saturation on my whites that you were talking about.

The easiest way to spot the blue tinted background is to open the browser to google, then hold the.phone next to an HTC or other brand with a good LCD display also on Google

I know what blue tint he's talking about, it's one of the things I hated most on my S2 and the Nexus had the same issue, though not so bad due to the higher pixel density but it was still there and when the screen was dimmed it got purple-ish, but as I said, the S3 totally changed that, that's why I give Sammy props on the screen quality, even the gorilla glass is flawless, two weeks without a screen protector and not a single nick, the first things I did when I first received my S3 was do the black background test like on the s2, it passed flawlessly, did the grey background test, same thing, did the play store test (my own personal observation/test I use), aced that as well, then I did the blank/black picture test, same result, I dimmed the screen to the lowest, blacks were still black, clean and well saturated, crisp cand clean, I even did the HD video test from the youtube app, it walked all over it, even though the pixel density is down a few pixels compared to the nexus, I have to say the screen is the best I've seen in a long time, hands down.

didnt have a nexus, but i did have an s2 for a few days and was disappointed i had to send it back because of the lines and blobs issue. this is my first REAL experience with a sammy phone and im not disappointed at all. your experience makes me feel a bit better about going with the amaze, but honestly, after almost 2 months with the s3, htc is going to have to REALLY impress me to get my money again. word is, sammy is working on the next GED nexus and im leaning towards it as my next phone.
either way, the screen on the s3 is untouchable imo. hell, even dedicated htc fanboy GG returned his one s to get the s3. to me thats saying something about how awesome the s3 is. if anyone is considering it, grab and you wont be disappointed :highfive:

The display issue on the s2 was the reason I left it for the amaze, the nexus was nice but I wasn't too big a fan then, when I went back to it before the s3, well it suited my basic needs since I just lost interest in fancy hardware and features, lol only reason I got the s3 was cause my buddy didn't like it so I gave him my nexus for it since he wanted back the nexus and well I'm so far satisfied, none of the old s2 or nexus issues/slack offs and well I don't use my phone much for anything but the basics to really care after running all my test and checking the device out.
I just want JB now and it's complete, though well my phone is so damn smooth I don't think I'll notice much of a difference.
