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.

NO, IT IS NOT NORMAL. There is an issue with the gnote and its black's. I would like to say 8 of 10 ppl are dealing with it. You can see the black blotch is very clear on the right side of your picture. No phone should do this. A fix should be coming with ICS, I hope

Yes its pretty bad. The lower the brightness the more visible it is on my note. Its kind of a buzkill when looking at my wifes HOXL and seeing perfect blending and no blotchy blacks.
Its gotta be a software issue, cuz I think I read somewhere the one x and note use the same panel tech right?
Sent from my SGH-I717R using xda premium
Sadly, the black crush problem, or "black clipping," is a very well known issue on both the i717 and n7000 Notes. It doesn't look like the official ICS update is going to fix the problem, but at least one n7000 developer, Supercurio, says he may be able to fix it once we have the official ICS source code.
Even though the problem affects nearly every Note, Samsung has never even acknowledged that the problem exists.
Keep your fingers crossed...
Has anyone noticed odd lines going diagonally through some icons and play store?
Edit : when I run quadrant I get really bad artifacts on the square part of the stairs.
Could it be a driver issue?
Should I return it as a malfunctioning device?

If you would ac tally read the op you would've seen its not only icons. I also get it on pics and get bad artifacts in games. So if your looking to get sarcastic take it somewhere else.

Definitely not a driver issue... It's the GPU failing to render. I recommend exchanging it while you still can, even under severe stress mine does not do anything like that. I'm sad for you mate. What carrier you on?

Apparently you need a hug, there was nothing sarcastic about it. Im sitting here waiting for my phone to come in a couple weeks and seeing someone post graphics issues is unsettling. Of course i read the op, but the point was on the screenshot it is specific to the icons,whatever it is does not impact the background or other graphical parts on the screen which makes me think its not necessarily hardware.

Ty for the input. And my apologies if there was nothing sarcastic intended.
And I'm on AT&T.
Maybe that is the reason the AT&T store said it was a return of a preordered device and allowed me to buy it in store yesterday.
Just stressing out about it a bit.

Greetings. Some of you may have remembered me before, I asked some users here about their experiences with their gs3. Now, I'm about to get my own too So now I want to know, what exact defects or things do I have to check first before deciding which unit to get? Or are there certain serial numbers for units which I have to avoid?

So? I'm asking which things to check first, as based on experience, the One series from HTC has faulty units that has serial numbers starting from sh24 or earlier batches. Things like THESE are what I was asking about and what the hell does it compare to, to a girl? Please don't go off topic and be serious in answering questions. If you have nothing right to say then simply shut up

AFAIK, there isn't something like a faulty batch, there are for sure some reports about issues, but all minor like a yellow tint at white backgrounds or black dots on the screen in dark light conditions with black background (you won't notice it if you don't try to find it) or cracked screen because of clumsy use (but would recommend a case or pouch anyway).
The only real issue (not minor and not user related) I know about has been a charging issue, where the phone could only be charged over pc connection and not with wall charger, but there weren't many having this problem.
Look around and check the threads, could be I missed something, but I guess nothing major.

How long will you keep asking the same question over and over again?
There is a certain production tolerance. If you feel unhappy with your screen, return it and demand for replace.
If not, stay with it.
But for f*cks sake stop trolling everyone in here!

They are not repairing because there is nothing broken.
Whether or not you choose to believe that, you have nowhere else to go now so just get on and enjoy your phone instead of looking for non-existent flaws.

i get blue tint at almost 160 degress so yeah its normal
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:

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
