Lose screen - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

Anyone else notice that when tapping the top half the screen it feels like it's slight loose? I just activated it an hour ago :-\

Shake it it does the same sound.. I thought it was the screen but I'm thinking it's the lens in the camera clicking around.

I just posted about this in another thread but now I'm curious are only some phones doing this or is it just the way the phone is. It doesn't seem like a big a deal but for a $600 phone I would expect it not to rattle when I touch it

No noise or rattling on my phone..

No noise here neither but I notice that bottom of the screen is collecting dust and if I look closed enough I can see a gap between the screen and the bezel I wonder if tmobile would replaced my unit

try re-activating it. Also try a factory reset, should solve your loose screen problem.

Why is it that sometimes when I'm on the phone and I try to do something on screen it pops off and on. Then when the screen comes on I'll touch it and it goes off I'll hit power to bring screen back up as soon as I touch it again it turns back off. Has this every happen to anyone else so friggin irritating

You're too close to the proximity sensor. Don't put your finger near it.
Where is that at?

Under the glass part of the phone in the top left corner. If you look at it in darkness it will kinda glow a feint red. Very hard to see under normal light as it blends into the black bezel.

Flashing screen in landscape

In many apps, some that lock to landscape orientation and some that don't, I've been noticing that the upper left corner of the screen flashes and 'melts' colors together for a split second, then goes back to normal. That's the upper left in portrait, and the lower left/upper right in landscape. It doesn't do it with all apps, but it does with several and it is greatly annoying. Is anyone else having this problem? And if so, what's causing it?
I've been noticing that it mainly does it with ken magic's solitaire app, and with the stock messaging in all orientations.

I had seen a post regarding this a while ago. It seems there is a layer of glue that holds the capacitive layer the screen. If it starts to come unglued the result is that color banding you see. May want to take it back if still under warranty, doubt it will get better by itself if that is truly what is occurring.

If that's so, why does it only do it in landscape with certain apps?

I don't know, are both corners the same color in that app regardless of the orientation? If not, maybe it's more noticeable with certain colors. If so, then I don't know what to tell you. Sorry.

Capacitive buttons

How do I get them to light up? I can't find anything in the settings
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

If you're in a bright room or outside and it's sunny they won't light up. If you're in a dark room or outside and it's dark they should light up. If they are not then I recommend you reset your phone, if it's not ok after reset then you should return the phone and try another one.
Ok I'll keep an eye on it thank you for the help

Cover your light sensor in the top left to test if the lights are working
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4 Beta
HTC is notorious for having poor performance of those lights on their phones. The Thunderbolt did the same thing, but since the sensor was on top of a black background, a good trick was to cover the sensor with electrical tape so the lights would stay on all the time.
They never seem to come on when they should and they always seem to be on when it's not needed. :silly:

Dust in Front Camera

I've not had this phone for too long but now I see a lot of dust stuck in the front Camera of my HTC Amaze 4G. How did it even get there
Is there anyway to clean it? It really annoys me and the front Camera now takes milky photos with bad quality.
Any idea?

Ha ha I've the same problem till now.
But when I asked they told that go to hardware shop or there is a thread on how to repair open.amaze...
I've no link but you may search it.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda app-developers app
Your only option is to disassemble it, and manually take out the dust. There is no easy way to do this, and if you do it wrong you'll break your Amaze.

Something similar happened to my sisters g3 two days ago. She pulled down the notification but it only came half way and the phone froze. A battery pull was the only way to fix it, thankfully it hasn't happened since.

Thanks for your help. I think when I put this otter box symmetry on I had some dust or something messing it up. I took it off and it immediately started working. Blew the case out with duster and now I'm good.

That's interesting. My sister doesn't have a case yet so I guess her issue must be different. Btw if it happens again enable developer mode and show touches, maybe your case is causing ghost touches.

Only freeze up I've had was when i was using the camera. Took some pics, recorded a video, took some more pics, exited camera app, phone froze up and i had to pull the battery. I've tried to reproduce it but can't.

So far up to date everything is smooth as silk on this bad boy. Just that stupid feedback when the head jack is plugged in and I can here feedback when I press certain areas our buttons.

Good thinking on the developer options. That might come in handy if I need to take it back to best buy. I've got the headphones Jack issues plugging it into my car stereo as well. Software can fix that so no big deal.
