I noticed that the replacement part to fix the LCD/screen issue if anyone has one (cracked screen like mine). I noticed they sell the entire unit with the front white housing. It seems possible to buy the white replacement and install in the black galaxy note if not mistaken. Trying to shed some light for anyone who has a black galaxy note and is in the same situation as me.

if its i717 parts it will work with any i717 phone. black or white
i just wish companys like this would just sell the glass some of us have broken glass but digitizer works fine! *and some of us know how to use a heat gun to separate the 2*
Yeah well you know how some manufacturing companies can be jerks and the two pieces would have the smallest differences making them incompatible. Just my .2 cents

nah, you can make your black note white without issue.
or white note black if thats your thing.
seen it done for i717 and n7000 without flaws.
also id look for a canadian white i717 note, then you dont have to have the fugly as hell ATT logo at the top
Yeah well aren't there ways to get rid of it? Or no way to remove it?

So I acquired my s3 this Sunday and today I was watching Netflix and I notice some markings while the screen was black. I hadn't notice it till now and it's bugging the heck out of me. Do any of you have this? Could I take it to Sprint and have them exchange it? It's so noticeable in a black screen

That sounds like my GS2. This has been a major problem with the Galaxy S2, at least on T- Mobile. When the screen is black, you can see little lines. I haven't heard of this on the Galaxy S3 though. They should take it back and give you a new one. I was hoping Samsung had fixed this problem. Good luck...

It's called ink marks, search forums here for multi-dozen page threads on it.
AMOLED sucks. It has "ink marks", it's very dim, bizarre over-saturated colors, and the whites look "dirty" e.g. yellow or pink, and also there are tints from the sides and also a tint gradient sometimes where half the screen is slightly tinted even straight on. And S III is also PenTile (blurry).
Look at the HTC One X screen or EVO, Incredible, even a Droid or another phone with LCD. S III is far inferior to these unfortunately.
So after 7 months with my white Note, I have grown tired of it.
The color that is. White. I thought I'd love it, but I guess after I got white glass for my 3GS and changed that I hit the level where staring at this white piece of crap is driving me CRAZY! Okay its not that serious, but the color is bugging me. I plan on switching the side-frame-bezel-thing, rear frame, and battery door with ones from the "Pebble Blue" one but one problem remains. The screen.
Does anyone know of an easy way (or a cheap way) to change the color? New LCD assemblies are $200 and that's too much. I don't want a half black half white phone so its all the way or no way.
Thanks!

PS; if there is anywhere that sells cheap different colored glass and backs (like red, blue, silver, brown, orange, etc.) Please let me know. That would be amazing
She if someone wants to trade for a black one.
Sent from the TermiNOTEr!
Why don't you just find someone to trade?
The back and sides of mine aren't in good condition and I flashed a custom ROM on the phone so I doubt anyone would trade.
Although, I wouldn't mind trading mine for an international one. That would be awesome just for the button. That's even less likely though

Well .
Based on the cost of parts ..you would be better off finding the cobalt blue version of the device .IMHO
With the note 2 around the corner, you may find a good deal on a different device ?
Sorry I don't have a cheaper method for you ....g

aren't there cases that cover the front part too?

Titanium Grey, as it's the closest to black that I can get. I like dark colors. I'll probably get a Ballistic case in black and white to go over it, though.
Going with the marble white this time around. All of my previous phones have been black or gray, figure I'd mix it up this time.
I had a marble white s3 and it felt kind of cheap so this time around im going with the grey. Also running AOSP roms on the white s3 looked out of place with the dark theme of AOSP.
Grey... Prefer dark also. More "discreet" LOL like the note 2 could possibly be discreet.

No poll?
Titanium Grey all the way. I'm not a fan of white phones.
White. Pretty much all of my portable electronics are black, so I thought it'd be nice to go with a lighter color this time around.
Has white become the "norm" because I want my device to be different. I travel A LOT and when with my S3, I used Google wallet. I had a IPhone Guy behind order his food and asked me " What is that? So cool." I said Google Wallet with NFC. He said "man, I want that phone now, let's trade" *we lol* And I also don't want my Note 2 to look Like someone else's note 2 with it being white..... or titanium grey

I just came from Best Buy and wanted to pre order the Titanium, but I could only order white through BB. They told me they may not get Titanium but Idk. After thinking about it on the way home I already have the ringke slim black case and think it may look good with white. Thoughts? Btw they said 11/27 is the expected date for pre order pick up.

Titanium Grey hides the wear and tear better that white. So Titanium Grey is for me. But both colors look very classy.
Titanium Grey for me. I like the White, but am worried about more visible wear and tear as the post above mentioned. My daughter got a washable marker on my white iPad, and while most of the mark came off, There is still a small smudge that drives me nuts.

You can easily buy a new home button. It really isn't that ugly.
Titanium grey all the way. White just isn't as sharp looking imo.
I pre-ordered grey, but I'll probably end up doing something custom to the back.
I don't know if I want to keep my white or go with the Grey. opinions are welcome. Which one looks better, white or Grey? Thanks for the help.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
It's all preference.
I liked the grey better, but that was because of the home button. The white didn't match in my eyes.
If you're looking to switch, may want to hold off because word is, a black version is coming out soon.
What he said ^^.. My daughter has the white one and I have the grey one. I personally like the grey better but she likes the white better. All preference.

It's a known fact that the grey one is faster, gets better reception and will not break if you drop it!!
Ok, none of that is true, but it is true that the grey one looks better!!
Ok, that isn't true either (for a lot of folks)!
But if you are asking for opinions, then mine is. . . GREY!!
I suggest you go to a store and hold both phones. Then pick the one you like best and buy it.
Good luck.
The grey looks less cheap, will hide dirt better, and the gd button doesn't stand out as much.
The white flip cover gets dirty on the inside of the cover quite quickly. The white however may lend itself better to the new coloured flip covers that are available. I don't know if grey and pastel-orange or blue will look so good.
I went with Grey. I had the white galaxy s3 and if you have a screen protector on the phone it starts looking dirty after awhile due to finger oil/dirt that happens to rub off.
Can't go wrong with either though.

I came to say similar things about the white one, lol.
I got a tpu hybrid case & it has black and clear parts to it, so it really looks nice over the white GNote, even if it wasn't I love the look of white on this, it really makes it pop
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
I prefer grey. Looks better. But my sgs3 was white. Lol
I got the grey simply because it almost blends the VZW logo in with the phone; you don't see it as much. Also, there are going to be a lot more cases that will be black as opposed to white, and unless you like serious contrasting colors, most cases will match the dark grey of the Note as opposed to the white color. Hope this helps.
I got the white one. And I tell everyone I meet that I'm on a verizon plan.

I prefer the gray version. My S III was white (and it was my first white phone) and while it's a nice look, I just feel that the gray looks better on the Note II.
Hey if you want to tell Verizon screw off, and get the same battery door as the rest of the world, then buy one from ebay. I contacted this seller and they say it has the Samsung logo and all. So I ordered one for my white Note 3, I'll post it when I get it. But here is the link if you want one. They are worth the price in my opinion, the Verizon battery cover looks horrible.

It fits perfect, it's for sure the original back no doubt about. Even had a protective film around it and a cut out where most companies brand the phone with printing. Highly recommend it for anyone. If you were nervous to buy cause you thought it was fake it's definitely not.

So I have to say I checked out a black one yesterday and my new back feels very similar if not exactly the same as the black one. Maybe they changed the material for printing on the White one when the carriers branded the phones, but it's also not as shiny as the old back. Looks and feels better, win win.

Yeah that's what everyone says but I just compared this new one with a Verizon black one and it feels exactly the same. This new one with Samsung branding is a different build then the White Verizon one. Even the stamped code on the back is different by one number. When you hold it with no phone on it, you can feel it's a fraction thicker. I'm really happy with this back
Sent from my SM-N900V using xda app-developers app
Nice cover! If I ever run my phone naked, I'd scoop one of these up. But since I have a case on my phone, you'll never see the back cover so it'd be a waste of $20. Good find though.
