Galaxy s3 screen flaw..!!!!!!!! - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Why is that the screen of s3 is uneven?? I mean the four corners in the screen look like they are not equally placed...ie...the distance of the four corners from the edges aren't equal...I've seen so many pics of s3 in web n almost all of them show such unequal placement...is it bcoz of the uneven white paint on the top of the phone which makes it look like uneven or is there a possibility for the screen to be misplaced?? Is the screen inside prone to move when dropped or is it immovably rigid??
In the pic .... If u notice carefully on the left bottom corner ...u can see tat it has a broader gap when compared to the right corner bottom....

This isn't a flaw, cell pho e screens are usually like this. Iphone, galaxy s ii, etc.

You already created a thread here but under a different user name http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1712400
Why do you keep making new user names to make more? The device already has 9 million pre-orders internationally alone, not counting the Americas and Samsung owns %45 of the phone market. You wasting time creating accounts to do this won't even lower that %45 by %.00000000000000000001

no screen bleeds on this model

I found this online I beileve this is a prototype of the amaze. but as you can see there are no bleeds from the buttons on the buttom of the phone....wonder if they had to change things around causing this issue.

Well that and even on the black version there is still a silverish trim around the glass screen. In the picture it appears to be all black.

Perhaps but that picture was taken prior to it's release. I doubt that it's a case for two reasons...
What cases were available prior to the release of the phone? Cases are just now coming out and look nothing like that.
I doubt that anyone showing off a phone would prevent potential investors or customers from seeing the entire phone (in the nude so to speak)
So with that said... why would they purposely create the screen bleed issue?
yeah thats some early version of our device,
though the lack of screen bleed doesnt surprise me considering when at near-max brightness its not noticeable
To be honest I love the Amaze as it is and I am AMAZE at the quality and build...I came from a regular HTC Desire that I still love and Mod...
We need Guardian Bob from the captivate forum to hook us up with a version of his keep the lights on app. It allows you to turn the button lights off also. It would be great if one of the devs could cook up a rom with something of that nature in it. I tried using it on my amaze that I just got today but it only works on Samsung devices.

Slight bend???

Took my phone out of my pocket today to notice a slight bend. I looks like right were the two covers meet. Was wondering if anyone else has maybe noticed this. I do keep my phone in my pocket all day but I don't think it should bend that easy. Let me know what you gentleman think.
post some pictures man!!! Without pictures, its just another OCD thread.
There are so many OCD threads it's amazing. I'm not saying this one is. But, I would suspect this phone would bend VERY easily.
1) it's paper-thin
2) if you watch the YouTube video about how the aluminum was machined/milled, you see that aside from the lower half, the upper half is 2 very thin aluminum rails (sides) bridged by another super thin aluminum rail across top. So yes, thus will bend very easily. Aluminum is incredibly weak (I'm a machinist).

will post pics when i get home. My god everyone wants proof of everything. No trust anymore. Just wondering if anyone else had noticed wasn't a big deal. The mods can delete thread if need be. You can see by my post count I don't post a million and one things about dumb stuff. You can also see from my join date that I have been around awhile and only post serious stuff.

My appoligies Mr. Homeowner. It was a simple question that doesn't need a picture to answer. Unless you can't look at your phone and see if you notice a slight bend from being in your pocket.

I think you can assume no one else has noticed a bend in their phone caused from being in their pocket, since there are no threads about this.

It's a bend right were the two pieces come together at the red bar by kickstand. I said I would post pic when I got home. Then all the dumb stuff starts. Which always happens in here and give xda a bad rep. Just delete thread mod. No point suppose to be a community to discuss.

OP - Reread this thread. No one was being unreasonable at all, we merely asked nicely for a picture. You immediately insulted us all and asked for the thread to be deleted. I'm not sure the community responded poorly to you, but rather you responded poorly to the community.
Personally, I am still anxious to see your pics. People will want to know about defects to look for in their phones as they start pouring in soon. I hope the thread stays open.

Oh, yeah, sometimes the actual screen is a half a millimeter or so to one side or the other so the black space around it can be bigger on one side than the other. But as long as the screen isn't crooked (i.e. it's straight up and down as it appears to be) I wouldn't worry about it.

Had you mentioned that in the original post you may have got a less terse response.
Either way what you are talking about is the misplacement of the screen within the case by about 1000th of an inch. if that really is an issue for you then I suggest going back to your supplier and trying to get a refund or replacement.

Well, it's a very minor aesthetic issue that doesn't affect the phones performance, so it's really a matter of opinion on how big an issue it is. If it's really bugging you, you can try and get it replaced. But in my experience almost every phone has minor issues like this. Some are less noticeable because their front panels are entirely black and mask the minor alignment quirks. But if the screen bumps right up against white or some other color, you're probably going to notice it more.

HTC build quality is always lacking. HTC light bleed, flash leaking, squeaky chassis (remedied with a piece of microfibre behind the battery
HTC seems to get so close to greatness, but misses the target. Light bleed, cover that does not fit as tightly as it should and creaks, weak wifi. Don't get me wrong I love my Amaze, it's a far better device than the S2, just wish HTC would hit one out of the park.

Maybe I got lucky, but I don't think so, I ordered mine first day they went on sale Oct 10/11 - I have had No creaky case/hardware issues whatsoever, even with a "battery cover replacement" :angel: this year, still as solid as when brand new, the additional cover is just as solid as the original.
I think the Amaze is easier to open than my MT4G was.

Screen defect

Ok so I've got a weird screen imperfection, it's an inch long thin lightening bolt shaped mark near the top center of the screen. It's only really visible with light blacks and greys, (and that's if your really looking for it). It's like after you shake an etch-a-sketch and you can still see a little of the line left over. Anybody else notice anything like this? I paid for this phone outright to keep my data and am unlocked and running cleanrom. I would hate to get a refurb and go through all the trouble of restoring this one and unlocking another. What would you do, live with it or get a refurb?

Welcome to AMOLED screens. Well known issue. Sometimes they are splotches too. Just Google it and you will find matches galore. If you switch it out you could get a worse one or a better one. Hard to say. I've got one tiny mark on mine towards the top middle. My GSIII had 3 huge splotches near the bottom.

Thanks for the info, I had no idea that was an issue with this display tech. I love this phone so much I was willing to try to ignore it or say hey it makes the phone uniquely mine but I do hate that my phone is a little less perfect lol.
I guess I'm going to stop by Verizon and see what they say, if they offer me a refurb I think I'll just keep what I have. If somehow I can get a new one maybe I'll ask for the grey instead of white this time? Dam, if I do that then the iPhone owners I regularly crap on will be able to talk crap about my less than perfect android LOL.
