Hey guys,
I dropped my phone the other day from 50cm on wooden floor (i have tpu case on it) and noticed that the screen is now a little bit up from the body right at the bottom right and I have now light leak from the back bitton ((
Screen is sticking out like 0.5mm
nothing major I guess, but was wondering if someone has taken their baby apart and knows if this is easily fixable? I guess it's just the glue, doesnt stick to the screen anymore, but not sure
Any suggestions appreciated, thanks )
Pic is bad quality sry

Can you take a close up photo. Someone might be able to help or suggest if they have a better idea.

With a case on you'd never know it.
Maybe somethings just popped and needs reseating?
Maybe there's a YouTube video somewhere?
Sorry can't help any further. Best of luck.

Crazy idea but might as well turn off the backlight buttons under settings. That should help to ease your eye strain from that light leak

Touch the little wand icon and scroll over to "no effect" which should be the left-most option. Looks like you have a lens effect set.

This happened to my old 6900. My wife threw the phone to me with wet hands, so it was either moisture or impact.

Hi guys
On my SGS2 when the touch buttons are lite part of the light seeps through the gap of the hard button. Does anyone else have this?
I can only see it when it's pretty dark but its very annoying.
I don't have this :s
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Yeah, I have it too, but it's not too bad and only visible from certain angles and in a dark room.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Yeah I sometimes have itbut almost rarely, and like the other guy said only from certain angles when I'm looking for it. I put pressure on the button in that direction and it disappears usually

Ive got this very slightly on the right hand side. I also notice when im reading a web page with a black background the very bottom left has a white spot/pixel, it goes away when you start scrolling. Anyone else got the same problem?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Glad im not the only one who has this. Worth returning over?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Personally It doesn't bother me, its hard to notice and even when I can see it, its really tiny. So to me not a problem
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Im guessing you have Optus stock as well?
When you look at the touch button straight on can you see the light?
Mine has the same issue but i dont care.
I can only see it when I'm using the phone when it's completely dark
My wife has a mole but shes still beautiful, can we not get a little obsessed with perfection with our phones? It is after all the slimmest, lightest, dual core power house smart phone out there....forgive its quirks?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
My phone did this at first but it went away after a couple weeks as the home button got better seated through use. Definitely not worth returning over.
same here, right hand side!
this was the reason for me to switch off the button lights in settings. looks better anyway
It has to be pretty dark...
didnt realise you could turn the light off
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
send it back, complain to samsung, demand they redesign the handset!
erm...
This will make it heavier and bulkier!!!
Happens to mine and there is NO PROBLEM with it. Be happy!

And more expensive. All these perfectly good handsets getting returned for new ones have to be paid for somehow.
I switched mine off looks so much better, per sonly I wish it was all black like the nexus s, i think that looks so sexy
Have it too, but dont matter !! I am a perfectionist too ( 620 euros it is for a phone !! ) but i think... i mean ... returning it for this????
If it is same as anyone elses in here its BARELY visible and you should try to find it again.. enjoy your phone. ( there are great chances of getting a same unit back, cause its a design thing i think )
Hey,
have it as well. But I don't really mind.

Hi Ministig

Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone here could confirm a small, miniscule, almost-non-existent issue I found with this beautiful device. The left (Menu) touch button seems to be every-so-slightly faded compared to the right (Back) touch button. I haven't been able to find any pictures, or take a picture of mine (no camera around at the moment) to show what I mean. It's almost ridiculous that I am spending my time and energy in typing about this, but I would just like to know if this is normal and not something that is unique to mine. Besides, I think it gives it a bit of a personality (like Nemo and his fin).
Unique to yours.

Not even sure what you mean to be honest.
Do you mean the light is dimmer?
I haven't noticed any issues in any case. I don't think I'd really care. I'm more inclined to worry about signs I've used it! (microscopic scratches that you can't see from anything but the most obscure of angles etc.)

And using the front camera to take a picture in a mirror won't work because....? Use your imagination.
I'm not actually endorsing that (though the front camera is actually not bad, so it could work with enough light), and I'm sure that's not what was meant by that post, but if you're gonna be a **** about it...

Well considering the problem is one button is slightly faded compared to the other and the lackluster FFC, I wouldn't assume that would produce anything useful. I said a picture with clarity.
It was an honest question. Obviously he can use the FFC but he is talking about something so slight it likely won't be captured with the FFC.

I know I know. I was replying solely to the quoted comment.
About that post anyway, I'm just hoping whoever (s)he is, is trying to make some sort of sarcastic statement about semantics, since the original post said "no camera around" as opposed to "no other camera around". I'm hoping that's what the post's intention was.
Oh how I hope...

Better ways than that. In any case, both remarks were pretty tame/lame. No need to make a bigger deal out of it than it is.

I was unaware that Scots and Irish were nowadays considered to be a different "race".
Anyhoo. Back on topic, still don't even know exactly what issue we're talking about here with these "faded" buttons.

My original reply was pretty light hearted I think.
And we are definitely different races, they like deep fried mars bars!! Lol
But ya we're not. And deep fried mars bars are actually delicious.

yes this is an issue and it also exists in my phone. i got my first S3 and it had lots of glue marks on the screen and the menu led was placed a bit above where it should be causing its light to come on the screen from inside of the scree. i got that set changed with a new one and now rest of the issues are gone but yes the menu led is a bit faded.

Thank you for keeping this thread on-topic. Yeah, it doesn't bother me at all. Just thought I'd inquire.
Is there a mod allowing (with a button combination) to disable completely the touchscreen while leaving the screen on?
When I show a picture around, if anybody grabs my phone, 99% of the times they end up touching the screen (especially if they are not familiar with the SGS3 thin borders) messing up the display.
***** slap anyone who grabs the phone.. Problem sorted

Depending on the nature of the picture, sometimes they grab it anyway...

hey all, so ill most likely be driving down to the SGS4 event (as long as my boss lets me take the day off work lol). so I figured I'd ask my home section here on xda what you guys want me to find out. most tech sites will prolly cover the main stuff, hw specs and all that. I mean ill get all that stuff too, but ask me about stuff they prolly won't check.
@supercurio you want me to check any sound stuff? <- lol someone pass that along
anyways ill make a list, and update it on here on what all you guys care about me checking out. i figure if I get the list started now I can do whatever necessary prepwork.
List:
LED lumen rating

Bring Odin with you or his mate with the big hammer .

If it's possible could you look for ink spots if using AMOLED or colour tints? Possible black crush test would be handy too.
Not sure if this is at all possible at such an event but would be cool to know
Battery matters, would you check how long you can watch videos from YouTube on 4G with max brightness please? Cheers
