I'm here to find out if anyone knows if there is a software difference between the White and Black versions of the Samsung Fascinate.
I used to have the Black Fascinate and I loved it, but after it met a terrible fate I found myself in the ownership of a White one which I am coming to loathe more and more each day.
So, are there any known software (non-aesthetic) variances between the White and Black versions of the Samsung Fascinate? I couldn't help but notice that certain things I could change on my black one, I can't on my white. The white one lags more, freezes more, randomly closes apps more, and just all around is a considerably worse product. I can't tell if I just got a crappy one or if there is some sort of difference.
I also couldn't help but notice that rooting methods that worked with my black one don't work at all with the white one, which is what made me curious if there was a software difference.
Thanks in advance for any help, I looked around for hours, but couldn't manage to find anything. If I happen to be super dense and it is out there, I do apologize, I really didn't wanna clog up the forum with a new thread, but this is the only place I know to turn to for help on stuff like this.
I also apologize if I put this in the wrong section or something, this seemed like the logical place to put a question like this...
EDIT: Also, if it matters, here's the info from the phone, I don't have a black one anymore to cross reference them.
Hardware I500.04
Model SCH-I500
Firmware 2.2.1
Baseband S:i500.04 V.ED04
Kernel 2.6.32.9
Build SCH-I500.ED04
Don't know if any of that is important or not.

I've had black and wife has white. I haven't noticed a single difference between our phones beyond back casing.
Had the white before replacing with a black, then a Charge
I had the white Fascinate before getting a black replacement which had the freezes, lag, everything you said, lol. I sent it back, kept the white one, and got a replacement Charge on 7/26/2011. 4G where I live is extremely fast, I'm constantly getting 22 to 25 mbs down and 5-8 mbs up! So glad I replaced the white one now though, because awhile before replacing it with the Charge, my touchscreen wasn't working right, wifi was stuck at obtaining IP adress, 3g stopped working, even after I reactivated and updated my roaming capabilities and the phone plain old sucked.

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.

And you've seen 5,999,999 phones to be able to draw this conclusion? Some people have problems and in certain regions exchanges seem to be coming from the same batches so I can see why it may seem widespread. It's not or more people on the forum would be *****ing.
Mine had this issue and after replacing screen it has it again but little less. Mine frend has it too. so conclusion is only blind people think they dont have it

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.

None of tge SGS II has a yellow lcd display issue.... the SGS II doesn't have lcd but oled
Anyway it's a non-issue, if you really don't like the color balance of your display you just change it using chainfire3d pro

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

A pic of the problem will help a long way in understanding the issue.
i cant screenshot it.
other camera phone could see it.
its very thin and its there.
black thin line. 1Px width.
smaller than a human hair. but still visible.
its located on the upper 1/3 of the screen. horizontal.
If you can't screenshot is,is hardware,a deadline pixel...sorry :/ Try to move the device,carefully hit it...and see if the line disappear for a moment...

if its a hardware issue how can u explain it not always showing ?
sometimes it doesnt appear until i open the camera.
i think that if it were hardware it would be permanent.
any more useful ideas?
i need solutions.
i need answers.

If it is connection/floating error - it will not be visible always. If it is NOT hardware, you definitely should be able to take screenshot on which the line would be visible.
use LCD Test (AMOLED ready) from Google Play. Test it.
BUT: if you definitely DO NOT want to provide look, and same time if you DO require answers, solutions,and help - keep requiring.
Having the requirements is a best motivation in life.
Privately, I'd like to advise you to KINDLY ASK for help here, not to REQUIRE it.
i tried.
i do not know what to do or how to fix it.
what do u mean by floating /connection?
did the lcd test and the line was always there. (not sure about thee black screen- couldn't see)
and BTW
sorry for the tone.
some things do get lost in translation
and sometimes desperate and frustrate can sound like demanding.
THANK U FOR ALL YOUR HELP GUYS.
By the "floating" error type related with connection: loose screen connector.
I had this with one of my previous phones, that the error occurred pretty randomly.
But, if I'm not wrong, your phone is pretty new, right?
therefore, rather than using the term :"warranty repair", I'd prefer use of : item not according to the purchase agreement, and I'd took it to the store for replace (of course: it is possible in EU, but I have no idea where you live).
Anyway: Frustration is good excuse for me, which I can understand very well.
Good luck:good:
Picking up my S4 tomorrow, what common issues or flaws should I be looking for so I know whether or not I got a "lemon" that needs returning? Things like screen tint etc.
So apparently nothing?
Hi. I have a galaxy tab 10.1 wi fi 16 GB tablet. I just recently replaced battery, and lcd ribbon. Also, downloaded ICS and now using that wtih version 4.0.4. My problem is the pictures are not all 1200x800 resolution. Most are like shadowing of water scene, you can tell it is water, but very plain looking. the camera pics look the same, both before and after taking the picture. Samsung rep said it could be hardware problem, wants me to send it in for repair...I would like to try and fix it myself. Anyone have any idea what the hardware would be that is causing the problem? See the attached picture as to what the screen looks like. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I've noticed the same here. No solution yet for me.
It's most likely your screen cable, check if it's damaged
Were you able to figure this issue out?
anyone find a fix ?
