Just bought a white Note yesterday, and it already has stains on it from my jeans. Is this normal? I'm going to have to swap it for a black if this is going to be an issue...

Should wipe off with an alcohol swab. New jeans that aren't pre-washed will do even more dye transfer.
Well, that's going to be an ongoing hassle for me. Looks like I'll have to trade swap it for the black model.
(the jeans in question are over two years old!)
Lol I use my white note naked and put it in my pocket with no stains what so ever no stains at all and I've had my note for a while maybe its something on ur end lol just saying

You could be wearing a light wash. Dark wash jeans is probably the problem. You should actually only wash dark jeans with dark jeans for the first few cycles because a lot of the wash comes out.
But even when they are broke in...dark wash jeans will always have this problem; at least moreso than lighter was jeans.
Usually you can just wipe it off will alcohol, but over time the white phone will become dingy. It simply doesn't hold up well. Its the nature of the beast.

I have the same problem but on my yoobao case. It has a dark blue rim on the edge of the case.
Thanks for all of the replies, guys. I was on fire about the white color, but between the staining and the low call volume, it has kind of soured my experience with the phone.
Decisions, decisions.
I dont think its bad as the white htc one x though.

Regarding the yoobao case..I had the same problem...I tossed it since I only paid a couple bucks for it. I thought the white was actually fading off? Never thought it might be my jeans.
no issues here with my white one..jeans, oil, tranny fluid, grease
everything wipes right off
I have definitely had issues with my white Note. I was inspecting the back of my phone a short time back, and I saw blueish stains. I had no idea what they were, then it kind of dawned on me that it could be from my jeans. I took some all-purpose cleaner and wiped furiously over the back phone cover, but it really didn't do much. It was almost if the stain had embedded itself within the phone. I'll try using alcohol, but I don't have much faith it'll work. I was really upset about this.
No issues with stains on my note from my jeans. What kind of jeans come with dyed pockets?

Alcohol wipes did the trick and cleaned up all the faint blue stains that were on my Note. I think I'm still going to swap it out for the black one, as I don't want to have to clean my phone every other day.
I don't really wear jeans so that's probably why my white one doesn't get staines .my army fatigues doesn't stain it thankfully but if it ever does get stained anyone found a solution?

Hi guys. My Atrix was walking fine until today in class, I suddenly feel something going off the power button, when I check, a sort of black tape from the fingerprint scanner is peeling off. I'm not really sure what to do about this. I can't claim warranty since its a Korean Atrix, bought in Vietnam and using in Australia
What should I do with this ? peel it off and get a DIY fix or any other option ?

as in 2 sided tape ? if its normal clear tape then how can the scanner works then lol
Whatever you do do not peel it off you will ruin your scanner. This is what I did to fix mine. I took some of my girlfriend's fake nail glue and put a tiny drop of it in the tip of a pair of pointed scissors and put a tiny dab under the corner of the tape. Hold the tape down for about a minute till the glue dries. Don't use too much or it will lock up the button. Works like a charm.
Out of curiosity how long did it take for this situation to develop for you?
Mine was like It when I got it. Not from att tho. From a trade. I think the phone was only about a month old
My is around 2 month old. Thanks for the tip, will try it out
Aight let me know if it works for ya. Like I said just use a tiny tiny bit

Just curious, to those of you having this problem...do you store your phone in your pocket?
I have my Atrix in the otterbox defender with a belt clip, haven't seen this. I'm wondering if it is getting caught on something in your pockets?
Had this phone since the release date and do not have this problem.

I wonder if there is a replacement part available to be ordered online.
Got mine release day in US. Scanner was initially perfectly level but over time it became slanted. No issue with the tape peeling off though.
Slow down guys, the "slant" is quite common - and there's an old thread about that around here too.
The sticker peeling part of it, is uncommon... (and hopefully it stays that way)

I remember that when the Atrix was first released, people were pooping kittens over the slanted button (here and in the Moto forums) until they realized pretty much everybody had the same issue.
If you look in this picture you can see where the cable is connected which in turn "holds" that end of the button down giving the appearance that it's "crooked" (source: http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Motorola-Atrix-4G-Teardown/4964/2 )

I don't have "tape" on my fingerprint scanner it had clear tape when itvcame out the box new but I took it off no big deal oh and I put it in an otter box case and it would get way too hot like 140+ so I took it out went with a bodyglove case and made vent holes in back of it ; )

I also can't see any tape on mine, and I've kept it in my pocket without a cover for 5.5months now with no problem, I've also used the fingerprint scanner frequently during that time.
mine is slanted too! haha
Sorry need to vent and before anyone asks, I have ordered some accessories already, no ones got anything locally. So here goes my story.... By accident I dropped my phone on a mat and it bounced lightly and hit the gym floor, I was sitting down so my phone was only about 12" from the mat. Anyways long story short I have a nice 4mm scratch on my screen...
I have had a few phones with gorilla glass thats been dropped harder and no scratches.. Like my infuse that got its housing dented and landed face down. (wasn't my fault, friend dropped it) Im so pissed right now, this thing is only 2 days old.

It is possible to scratch Gorilla Glass; Corning's marketing materials call it "scratch resistant". My Photon 4G has Gorilla Glass and the previous owner managed to scratch it.

You could have dropped it on some miniscule piece of sharp metal or something... who knows.
That first scratch is always the worst ;(
Man, sorry to hear about your GNote. I would be distraught. Everyone be careful with your new phones! AND get your screen protectors on.
First cut is the deepest
Could it be possible that the scratch happened from another incident where you wouldn't expect damage at all and you never really noticed till you dropped it then closely examined it? For example.. Sliding it into your jeans pocket while the face of the phone scrapes along the copper stud at the top of the fob/ticket/watch pocket (the small one)...
That has totally happened to me a long time ago with my blackberry, was PISSED that I had a long ass scratch on my screen and was puzzled as to how it came to be. Until I slide it in my pocket only to notice it happen again and realized lol
But, again, that was just an example of a seemingly harmless but destructful act.
I was going to say you must have a nice gym where the floor is made of diamonds...
Sorry about the scratch, tho. Your scratch looks just like mine - which I can't actually see if the display is on. Hopefully yours isn't too bad.
I don't see how because you happened to scratch your screen it equates to the device not having gorilla glass at all. Its not indestructible ya' know.

To be fair, though, your post title looks like you're trolling. I'd suggest changing it if you can...nothing wrong with venting, but spreading misinformation is kind of uncool even though you're frustrated (and I can definitely relate to that). Maybe "Gorilla Glass isn't as tough as I thought..." and then show an HD video of the vball game shot with your Note just because you can.
Changed, thanks.

My Captivate is 1 1/2 years old. I've never had a screen protector near it. I've dropped the thing a dozen times, it even slid 15 feet on it's face on an asphalt covered hill. I stuck it in and out of my pocket over 1,000 times and it doesn't have one scratch on the glass.
I was really hoping we would get the same protection on the Note.
Guess I am going to re-think the whole screen protector thing. Bummer!
Does anybody have a clue what could have caused this or have the same issue?

The thing I really loved about the S2 was the textured back cover on the black model. Practically impossible to scratch, as opposed to the white which scratched easily and also had cracking on the paintwork as shown in your pics.
Seems like the S3's are going to suffer the same fate. Like I mentioned earlier, I saw this quite alot on the white S2. Good thing replacements are cheap.

"Tried bending my cover but I can't get the same "cracks"."
If you want to have the same cracks in the cover bending won't help. There is no varnish on the backcover of the Polycarmonate backcover.
I I yould see those cracks unter the microskope I would be sure, but on the first view it looks like chemical induced stress cracking.
It would be interesting what type of cleaners have been used on that back cover. Or did he try to clean the backcover in the dishwascher?
Some alcohols (like isopropanol as used in glass cleaners) and perfume oils even some spices damage polycarbonate.
You can google that (Polycarbonate and stress cracking). That is fairly common with that material.
If you want to be sure not to get such cracks keep to a moist microfiber cloth for cleaning
Looks like someone stepped on the back cover or whole phone, what gave it away is the A in Samsung almost completely missing, so the owner did something to it
I have the same straches like that on new out of the box white one model. If someone want i will putt pictures to see

Hi there, new Galaxy S3 owner here.
I've done extensive research about the phone and durability was what scared me the most. Nevertheless, the power, screen, and other features over my aging Galaxy S, proved too good to pass up, so I went ahead and bought it in the end.
The galaxy s3 is reasonably well built in my opinion, however, the metallic rim does not protrude out of the bezel (the galaxy S1 and S2 both have a slightly protruding rim), and therefore, provides very little protection in the event of a face down drop as the glass strikes a surface first, and not the rim. The videos on YouTube also confirm my theory as the GS2 suffered no damage in a face down drop, while the GS3 got wrecked. Corner drops also seemed very lethal to the GS3.
With all these fears in mind I have got myself a flip case that covers the corners and the screen, but is that really necessary and will that help during a drop?

Dropped my "naked" phone twice once on a linoleum floor from about 3 feet, the phone landed on the upper left corner, no damage of any kind and on hardwood floor from about 4-5 feet and again no damage, this time the phone landed flat on its back. My conclusion is that S3 should survive all "indoor" drops just fine, dropping it on the sidewalk or in a driveway will probably damage it that said I'm willing to risk it as I can't stand putting a case on the S3 as in my opinion doing so completely ruins the look of the phone.

If you've owned a GS1 like I did, (or even GS2), you'll feel how I had balls of steel with that phone as it's literally unbreakable. In a WWII tank analogy the GS1 feels like a German tiger while the GS3 feels like an M4 Sherman

Dropped mine once, not too high though. Luckly nothing happened and it is still intact!
Sorry to bring this thread up again, but today the inevitable drop happened! Dropped it out of an unzipped pocket of my jacket at a height slightly above my waist probably from a height of about 1 meter or so.
The phone landed flat on the screen with a noticeable thud, on a concrete pavement with loads of gravel on top of it. It didn't even bounce once so that's a heck lot of pressure. Thankfully, my flip case was closed (as seen in my first post), and the padding for the screen probably saved my GS3's arse big time. I guess that case is a very good investment after all practical while still aesthetically pleasing Any other experiences for drops or other accidents?
dropped my phone screen face down twice now, at home( height is slightly lesser than 1m i guess, table-height - i tend to sweep the phone off the table for some reason ) so far no noticeable damage
...and then I started drinking. Here the results:

I hate putting cases on my phones, especially something this massive. I felt like the back of the Note3 was so slippery, so rubber coating it was my best option. For the record I love it. The grip is awesome and it makes the whole phone feel more substantial when it's in my hand. The coating also makes vibrate less obnoxious when the phone is resting on a hard surface.
As far as peeling I'm hoping it won't be a problem for a while. I literally went through almost an entire can just on this back cover so it's on there fairly thick. 10+ thick coats lol.
Looks gorgeous. Always wanted to try some sort of coating for better grip on my note 2. Doubt it'll look that good though that looks fantastic

That's a pretty cool pattern. How did you do that...with some kind of template or something? I never heard of plasti-dipping.
Nice thing about plasti-dip is if you get tired of it, you can peel it off and try another color or pattern.

I actually did it with a paper plate. I would hold it over a certain area and was doing short bursts of paint with the spray can across certain areas, alternating white and black til I ended up with an overall look that I liked.
Plasti-dip is cool because it covers really well and you don't have to prime or prep the surface. And as someone else mentioned you can just peel it right off when you don't want it any more.
I had hoped, with a previous phone, that the adhesiveness would have been better with this spray, but in less than a week, it started peeling off on its own.
