You want an engineers report to determine problems and costs .

I would have to agree.
You'd be better off getting a new one.
Hahaha I'm sorry that i'm laughing but the screen cracking and the battery drainage could not have anything in common ^^
Oh no....thanx...
I brought mt GSII to samsung center..
changing processor and screen cost me USD290....is it worth it??
How much is the screen alone? i also have a screen issue, the phone turns on but the screen stays black and sometimes rainbow of colors appear on the left side.
Phone stays on as it gives feedback when i touch different options by guessing!

Every few minutes when i'm using the phone the screen will lock up. The screen will either go back being responsive in about 30 seconds but it is a big irritation. I bought this phone secondhand completely stock and it exhibits this problem. Has anyone encountered this problem before and if you have how did you fix it?

What color is the sticker under the battery cover?
There isn't a sticker.

That its a clear indication the phone was dropped in some sort of liquid by the previous owner. There should be a small sticker inside - white means everything is ok and pink means it was dropped in liquid. Looks like someone was trying to hide something by removing it.
Well that sucks. Anything that I can do to fix the phone that does not involve the original owner?

I've heard you can get a replacement from samsung but I'm afraid I don't gave any helpful details that would help. You could try calling tmobile and asking to speak to a customer loyalty rep. Not sure if it will help but is worth a shot.
hello.
I've got serious problems. Today I get in the car and watched the latest messages on my phone. then suddenly the screen began flickering and everything was getting over bright. So I thougt that a reboot would help. totally wrong, Tried to reboot but the samsung boot screen turn purple with blueish tinted letters. Then my heart goes crazy because I tought I bought a phone with a decent quality. And now the screen is just past away!! Why Samsung, Why?? Tried to boot several times. Phone starts up so I made a backup from the SD card but there's no working screen. I feel horrible now. because now i have to wait untill it's monday so i can call Samsung for an RMA and then just wait a couple of weeks. 2 weeks without my S3. This is just like rehab in a nightmare...
Does somebody here have experience with a faulty screen?
p.s.
Phone never dropped on ground, never. Always have TPU case with touchscreen-protector
Lightning is not covered under warranty .

Did you take an insurance when you bought your phone?

that lightning strike was just for fun. It wasn't hit by lightning. No i don't have insurance on my phone. This is a fault of Samsung?? not mine? How can i destroy my display driver myselve? that's impossible.
Funny joke... very descriptive. The only reason I read it was to see how u managed to get ur phone struck by lightning and still managed to post about it...

OT
will it be covered under warranty? On a dutch forum I read several cases with broken screen. most of them in a couple of weeks after the release.
If this will be every 5 months I want my freaking money back because I don't gonna sent my phone 4 times in 2 years. and after that I have to gonna pay myselve for the repair. That's rediculous. Even the S2 would last longer. This is such a shame for samsung. Monday I will call customer service and then I will explain the whole story and then they have to repair it as soon as it gets.
I have the flickering screen problem as well. It happens when the screen turn off (time-outed and manually) and turn on again. Anyone has the same problem? I wonder if it is a hardware or software problem?

that's not the flickering i mean. But I know your problem. It's software related. It get's dimmed when you push the home button right after time-out.

If you screen or display is not working its warranty . If your screen is broken or cracked its not warranty .
If you have custom rom or root or rom counter above zero warranty is void .

Not dimmed actually, The screen is like the magnetic field noise when we put our dialing cellphone near to CRT monitor last time. Sorry for my bad english.
they can't even see the binary counter because of the screen that's broken .
But I think I did reset my binary counter already 2 months ago. after that I only did flashes with CWM. Not Odin.
p.s. Does it count flashes with CWM? I think it only counts when you load via odin.

You're kidding right? I hope you are LMAO!!
No I'm serious.. How can they watch binary counts when display is not working anymore?? Simple right?? Here in the Netherlands there are several cases with people that have rooted S3's with broken screen. They all get a new phone. If they could see the binary counter. They wouldn't send out new phones right??
A defective unit , after reading countless posts about defective units i am doubting about samsung's quality ....

Hello, same problem here but only when auto brightness and power saving mode (any combination of options checked) are on, which I just recently noticed since on dark background you wouldn't see it. Software bug?
Hi Guys, I have screen burn problems again with my S3, had the same issue on S2 also.
I use Sygic sat nav software 4-5 hours a day 5-6 days a week, and I now have a nice circle in the top corner of my screen where the speed limit is.
I am running an app called Screen burn-in tool which was recommended when i searched online, its been running now for about half hour but i don't think it will help at all, but its worth a try.
Does anyone know if screen burn is covered under manufacturers warranty or not?
also while running the app i can now tell that the status bar is also burnt into the screen, how very annoying after having this phone for a little over a month....:crying:

i would not think that Samsung will take it back since it is not a manufacturing defect, you could try.

Does samsung specifically state not to have static images on the screen? If so, then yes, it is not a manufacturer defect. However, if there is no mention of it, you could possibly argue that there was no forewarning of the possibility of screen burn.
Good luck, keep us updated!
My S3 fell out of my hand and hit the floor on its corner. When i turned it on again the screen was all green and the touch no longer worked. Now when i turn it on nothing shows up and the screen stays black. I was thinking of repairing it myself, so would i need to just buy a new screen or more?

If you use that you must realise that separating the glass from the digitizer is a very tricky fiddly hit and miss process where you are more likely to break than mend in all honesty
I think that the screen is broken too. Because you said that the screen was black after turning it on. Think u need a new display + digitizer. They sell them on ebay for 200 dollar. It's expensive I know but I don't think there's an other option.

Ok, thanks so much for the help everyone!
and there's no guarantee that the screen is the only thing broken.
PS there's a "thanks" button
hello, i broke my screen lately and i replaced it at a lab,after the repair my screen is sometimes flickering.
i think it was flickering from before the repair but after the repair it got worst,i am not sure.(if it was it was only at the top of the screen now..its every where)
does anyone have any ideas about the source of the problem ?
or if anyone know how to solve it even better
thank you for your help...
If still problem exist after screen replacement then I think there is problem in new screen, try again another screen if still it exist then may be there is serious problem with GRAPHIC IC ( I am not sure about this), You may have to change 220 in your Graphic IC which include soldering but seriously this is very(x3) risky, because any wrong thing can put your phone in nothing.
In case If you brought your screen from online site, then contact to seller and ask them for refund or another screen
Best of luck

first of all thank you for your reply,
as i said i replaced my screen at a cellphone lab so you think i should go there again and ask them to replace the screen?
as i also said its not happening all the time... it can be flickering for 15 min and then nothing for another hour ( on & off)
no way its just a loose cable/connector some where?

Stock ROM or custom one? Cause my screen flickers sometimes too, but I'm fairly sure it's due to adaptive backlight feature in most of the AOSP roms around
