Long story short, I got screwed by BB on a 11/24 preorder of a gray but at the last second got it on the friday before Christmas. Opened it, noticed the screen seemed washed out, compared it to my TF101 and it was very noticable. Thought I might be crazy but then noticed significant ghosting of the keyboard when it went away.
Somehow I snagged another one last Sunday from them and it just arrived. It does seem sharper but things don't have the depth of the TF101, maybe some apps were written different but I'm looking at the GMail at and its pretty clear.
The first pic is a side by side of the TF201 I got today and my TF101

The next is the first one I got vs. the one I got today, the one today definitely looks sharper but still washed out.
I took this with my Nexus, albeit not the best way but am I crazy or does the Prime looked more washed out than the original Transformer?
looks yellow like some others reported. could be wet glue?
Great.... well now BB has screwed me twice, I just checked there holiday return policy, everything except tablets.... I'm returning the first one tomorrow and I'm going to leave the new one plugged in and on for a few days, maybe it will go away. Anyone else notice the yellowing completely fading over time?

Hey everyone, got my white galaxy S2, about 3 days ago, and im already having some issues.
Issue #1, the chrome part thats on the perimeter is peeling/chipping. I have 2 spots where this is occuring, both are near the home button where i guess my fingers rub the most. I had a Black S2 before, never noticed that....well maybe because i couldnt see it on black You can barely see it on the 2nd picture in the bottom left corner. Also, around my volume button and power button, the chrome seems SOOO poorly crafted. Its hard to see on the picture, but it looks a lot worse in real life. I wouldnt complain if i had the phone for at least a few months, but after only 3 days? Bought my phone on Kijiji, and it was sealed at the back so i doubt it was used before, unless the seller did an amazing job at restoring his phone to be brand new.
Issue #2, LAGZORZ!! I rooted and unlocked the phone, got RevoHD ROM which ran without ANY lag on my old black S2 and i always used TW4 because thats the only launcher where i had no lag whats so ever. TW is plain but the simpler the better Now thought...i get minor lag in my app drawer and when i scroll screens. Homescreen is crowded with active widgets like youtube and And.Market, now i know its putting a lot of stress on the phone, but i didnt get any of that with my black S2.
Tried RevoHD and LeoMar75 ROMS, tried different kernels, different governors, clock speeds, and i still cant get the same result as i had on my old phone. Experimented with Siyah @ 1600 but kept getting boot loops (this never happened on my old phone).
Anyone else having any problems such as mine with their white S2's?

I don't have the lagging issues, but my silver bezel is peeling off. A lot. Looks like crap really. I've ordered a bumper though to hide it, so at least it shouldn't get any worse.
I can't remember exactly when I got the tab but its been a while... maybe close to a year. I've recently noticed an issue with the display of my GTab 10.1. I'll call it "splotchiness" for lack of a better word. And I'm not sure if its a defect with my Tab, or if its just the panel they used on the GTab 10.1.
Its hard to describe so I'll give some examples. On the settings screen, there are these weird lines or "bands" across the titile bar at the top. I get similar banding across the buttons (WI-FI, Notifications, GPS, etc.) of settings popup from the tray. And some banding and splotches in the Box app.
I've converted several DVDs to AVIs and put them on my tablet. Maybe the quality of the video just sucks. But most of them have these grainy, splotchy areas throughout the film. Sometimes its the background...sometimes its on peoples' faces, hands, etc. The splotches appear on still images too.
Its really hard to get images of the screen (the splotches and stuff strangely didn't show up in screenshots I took on the tab) but I did my best.
Anyone else's GTab do this? Is mine defective? Thanks in advance for your help.

I guess I'll assume the lack of response means nobody else is having this issue. I went back and looked and I bought my Tab on June 20th, 2011 so it's still under warranty. So I guess I'll send it back.

Hi, I'm no expert, but more info about your tablet would be necessary. Which version of the ANDROID OS are you using? It looks like the stock OS, but exact model and OS info is needed.
From a cursory glance at your post, it looks to me to be a software issue. But some more tests and info would be needed. I have attached some test images for you to view on your screen. See if you get the problem with these images.
Have fun. Anil
It's a 7510MAVB... 32 GB. Stock 3.2.
Those images do the same thing... Splotchy areas. I've contacted Samsung for repair. Only have 2 months of warranty left.
Thanks for the reply.
Just about to come down the stairs, I trip, then bye bye tab over the railings!

Amazing thing is, the only mark I can see is a slight nick on the corner, but it's that small, it may have been there a while and I've just not noticed it, considering it's plastic, it's still very well built. Lol.

You're damn lucky, my tab fell once out off my hands and i already had a small nick in my upper left corner
Blimey! I must be lucky as it's no where near as bad as that! I'll post a pic in a mo...
Edit: It's more of a graze than anything else.

2 options... Or you are darn lucky, or i must be an unlucky person in technology... Broke my laptop, pc, and mobile in 2 weeks (hardware issues) and accidently dropped my tablet and had a pretty hard nick in it... but that's already a while ago
Mine dropped from 3foot up, needless to say it shattered the digitiser. Though, it did me a favour as now I have an all white tab rather then white back black front... Horrible design...

Wow. It feels really flimsy in my hands.
Like I could just snap it in half no problem.
Mine survived an 8 foot drop directly on the corner, and just has a small white scratch. This is just about the toughest non-rugged tablet out.
Anyway, it may be a little shock resistant, but it's NOT waterproof in any way lol, my first tablet Didn't survive Pukkelpop 2011 (if you don't know what happened on this festival, youtube it) the tab was lying in my tent and became a little moist, not really wet... Mother nature decided to kill it anyway but i went back to the store and told them what exactly happend and they gave me a replacement...months later... after a horrible story
I left my Moto 360 for the night charge near my bed, when i woke up this morning the screen was white with some weird dots
now it looks like strips all over the screen with various colors can someone pinpoint what is the component that cause the trouble ? or if it can be fixed without opening up the device.
this is a new device i bought from Amazon Italy (i live in israel) about 2 weeks ago.

I saw this on another forum. Someone suspected it might be a hardware issue:

Same problem for me
I had the same issue with my old one and got it replaced. Did you get it wet by chance?
Oh my gosh! I was just reading through XDA after finally getting my replacement watch and came across this thread.
I purchased a Moto 360 gen 2 for Christmas and in January, my display also did this. I had a tempered glass screen protector on it, and the screen was never hit hard. Also, the only time the watch got wet was occasionally while washing my hands. One day while at work, I looked at my watch and noticed the display all weird. It looked like food coloring drops in water. It was very strange because that morning, it worked perfectly fine!
I sent the watch in under warranty, and it took Motorola a whole month to do anything about it. After calling them up in February, they finally gave me voucher code to make a replacement (mine was made via Moto Maker btw). Alas, the bezel was out of stock, so I had to wait until late March to finally get my replacement with the exact same design as the on that broke. And yet, after all that, I still had to pay $20 for some reason. The Moto rep I called said they'd refund me since it should've been an even exchange, but they have yet to do anything. (Their customer support is HORRIBLE).
I'm just interested to see that other people have had the exact same issue as me.
Edit: Does anyone know what causes this issue? Bad display? Bad waterproof seal?
Mine didn't necessarily go bad after a night's charge. As I said, it was working up until like 3 hours later.

Hello, I just got my S9+ (less than a week ago) and I discovered after 4 days of use, a very strange mark on the screen that has no depth.

It's very noticeable when I try to clean the phone with a bit of water. The droplets pattern changes:
I haven't exposed the phone to any miss-use and I'm baffled by this, is hard to see when the screen is on but it's forever in my mind now.
Could this be the oleophobic coating or am I looking at something else?
Do you see the line when the display is turned on? Try to dial *#0*# and test the display. It seems like the oleophobic coating, because of the water, but I never seen something like that before.

It's very hard to notice when the screen is on in most conditions. I'm returning this phone and hopefully it will pass Amazon quality checks, wish me luck.
In all 10 years of having smartphones, I never had a phone with this kind of flaw.
Hello I am having the same reaction on my phone. Did you find out what it was?
Same issue here
Only visible with screen off in direct sunlight or water is on the phone
I returned the device with an attached letter to it where it stated what was the problem.
I got the return, no questions asked. I would recommend reaching Samsung or your retailer to get this fixed or another device. If asked, just explain that the scratch has no depth, so it couldn't have been your keys or something in your pocket, also stress your phone is new.
Similar issues were reported for the Galaxy note 8 and I found a YouTube video with an S9 and a similar problem.
If you don't return the device, I would expect the problem to get worse.
