I picked up a s 3 Sunday and noticed that that screen has a slight yellow tint to it. I've read it could be the glue not fully dried our whatnot. I notice that If I tilt the phone and view it from different angles, then the yellow tint disappears white backgrounds are "white"
Should I take the phone sand exchange it or will this go away?

Go to Settings>Display>Screen and un check auto adjust screen tone then reboot. The yellow tint should be gone.

Short answer NO, its not going to clear up, I have 2 of these phones one is " white" and other is yellowish, the yellow one is actually getting worse, only problem is it might take u 3-4 phones to find a " white " its a issue with Samsung screens it took me 4 galaxy nexus to.get one that finally had no yellow tint, I'm going take this gs3 back problem is finding another one ..... ur carrier might only have 30 day retun but Samsung has a year ( repair )so its not something u need rush on if u wanna wait it out ubhave more than enough time ...

Hi guys
On my SGS2 when the touch buttons are lite part of the light seeps through the gap of the hard button. Does anyone else have this?
I can only see it when it's pretty dark but its very annoying.
I don't have this :s

Yeah, I have it too, but it's not too bad and only visible from certain angles and in a dark room.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Yeah I sometimes have itbut almost rarely, and like the other guy said only from certain angles when I'm looking for it. I put pressure on the button in that direction and it disappears usually

My phone did this at first but it went away after a couple weeks as the home button got better seated through use. Definitely not worth returning over.
same here, right hand side!
this was the reason for me to switch off the button lights in settings. looks better anyway
It has to be pretty dark...
didnt realise you could turn the light off
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
send it back, complain to samsung, demand they redesign the handset!
erm...
This will make it heavier and bulkier!!!
Happens to mine and there is NO PROBLEM with it. Be happy!

And more expensive. All these perfectly good handsets getting returned for new ones have to be paid for somehow.
I switched mine off looks so much better, per sonly I wish it was all black like the nexus s, i think that looks so sexy
Have it too, but dont matter !! I am a perfectionist too ( 620 euros it is for a phone !! ) but i think... i mean ... returning it for this????
If it is same as anyone elses in here its BARELY visible and you should try to find it again.. enjoy your phone. ( there are great chances of getting a same unit back, cause its a design thing i think )
Hey,
have it as well. But I don't really mind.

Yep there is a topic on it in general section I think. "ink marks" or something. Personally I think it is not a major problem. I have 2 or 3 tiny spots but most of the time we don't use the phone in a pitch black environment, nor are we looking at a pure black screen (how often do you spend in the homescreen?). It would however be an issue if it was noticable during movies, games etc, where the viewing experience is paramount

Yes true, it would be an issue if it was visible while watching movies and such.. but question is how long should this ink spot last compare to the other parts of the screen?
What does this ink indicate?
Yes I have them and it annoys me. And I don't understand why people defend it and say it's okay, we've all paid a lot of money for these phones how is it okay or acceptable to have black dots all over the screen? Yes it's only under very specific conditions but that's not the point, it is extremely annoying watching movies when they fade to black, when in the app launcher under dark conditions. And it's not just 1 or 2 small dots it's like someone broke a black pen and flicked it all over the screen.
It's just the way how the amoled is made. Every amoled has it. Don't worry. U won't notice that after while

I've only had the phone a few days now so I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt since everything I've read is saying you get used to it but...... It's there..... There are dots on the screen every time there's black, how do you get used to that? I understand every AMOLED screen has it but don't you think that if it's that big a problem then the screens aren't ready for prime time and need to improved? I've found myself using white everywhere when black is what saves battery on an AMOLED screen and black looks good on an AMOLED screen but I can't stand the dots.

I have it too, annoying to know they're there but not that big of a deal in every day use. Still buggers me every once in awhile tho.
I dropped my SGS2 at a party saturday (april 13th), but it came up without a scratch on the screen, just a very small bruise on the corner of the phone, no problems till then.
Monday (april 15th) when I was going to bed I noticed a pink shade on the bottom left corner of my screen, I could only notice it on white backgrounds.
I really dont know what happened to the screen since it is without a bruise, does someone know what is it? Does it have a fix?
I'll upload a photo ASAP.
Thank you!

So recently I noticed my screen has a blue spot when displaying white. It's slightly notice to be annoying. It's not visible with blacks and less so with other colors. What to do with warranty as a last resort? Will warranty claim actually fix the phone instead of replacing it?

Is a case applying pressure to the back of the phone. That's usually where the blue dot comes from. Something is applying pressure to the screen.

Its an isolated spot at the top of the keyboard it is about 2-3 mm wide. I will try taking it out of the case and see if it goes away.
Sometimes cases can put pressure on the screen and cause blue dots to appear.

I took it out of the case for at least 14 hours and nothing changed. I am okay with it as long as it doesnt spread. Really don't want to warranty it and get a locked DNA after running CM
I would kee it too, having a locked bootloader will be more irritating.
I've got a faint blue dot also and no case.

Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
yep, if you push on the back between the htc logo and the other logos, you can see the ripple effect. there's a soft spot on there.
my first DNA had the issue, and i only used a TPU case. i'm thinking it was from having it in my pocket, screen facing out and crouching and sitting down and stuff. it would probably put pressure against the back and cause that ripple and that eventually led to a constant blue haze. i returned it right after noticing it..was very sad. lol
So this is a common issue then? I just noticed it on mine today. Will they fix it under warranty? I've only had the phone for about 2 weeks.

Did you guys with the blue dot send the phone out to get Jtagged?
If so, the blue dot is an overtightened screw (Did it to mine when I JTagged it... Pop the back off and loosen the screw a little bit... It might not ever go away, but it lessens he effect... Also lessens the possibility of the screen cracking from it)
Hello all!
Are you guys seeing vertical lines on your screens? specially when it gets dark (ex: notifications comes down) (it's like pcb lines)
I bought my phone this week and i don't know if this is normal or not...
I can't post any pictures because de screen as a reflection and it doesn't show the lines...
It isnt normal
It seems like your unit is defective
Hardware Display issues are usualy easily seen on a dark background and you have mentoned you see it when its dark

You seem to have a Nexus 4. If you look hard enough, you can see the same lines on that phone too. It's just the screen technology those phones use, it's completely normal.
I understand that but with the Z2 i dont even have to make a effort to see it...
Does it happen to you?

I have a defective unit and no i dont see any lines hence why i said a replacement is needed
The display should be stronger than the avarage human eyes which is 430ppi
Z2 Screen is 442ppi, any lines if existant shouldent be easily seen at all and if any are then there is a problem
I havent seen any at on my phone so id recomend sending yours back for a replacement if posible

I had a nexus 4 and own the Z2 as well. It is perfectly normal. It is the digitiser which is built into the glass screen that you see. If I'm not mistaken, it appears under certain lighting conditions and you can see it at times and cannot at others? It is perfectly normal so don't worry! My N4/Z2 digitiser lines are not extremely visible unless held in certain ways for light to reflect off but my brother's N4 has extremely visible lines for the digitiser! Hope this helps! :highfive:
I've just been to two stores to compare my phone with other Z2's and yes the lines are more pronounced than the others... The funny thing is that my blacks are darker and my whites are whiter... It looks that the screens are different...

It's not like that. The LCD it self is good and i don't even have dead pixels.
What i see is this:
"Polarizer lines"
I think i'm going to return it. With low light it's ok but during the day i can see it very well.
This is the second Z2 that i return. The first one had a tinted red display.
I bought it on a Uk online store that i'm beginning to suspect that is selling second quality items...
