Can anyone try this out for me please?
When I tap the right half of the screen, the screen feels hard but when I tap the left side of the phone screen, it seems hollow and makes a little bit of a vibrate noise.
Can anyone else notice this?
Take it back if you can. If not speak to Samsung, its not a feature that's for sure.
My name is Optimus Prime and I send this message..
I don't think it would be classed as a fault though. I'm sure a normal user wouldn't even begin to notice this.
Just if someone could tap the left and right edge of the middle of the screen a few times and let me know if they notice the same thing that would be great.
Thanks
Just try on my phone and not having this issue...
It's just the right side feels really hard when you tap it hard and the left side doesn't feel as hard...
Can anyone else please try?
Anyone else before I get to bed? Maybe I am just over examining?
Feels the same to me. Doesn't sound like an issue either way

So you are noticing the same thing as me?

Yeah I to was thinking maybe it's to do with the position of the components. It really isn't an issue though but I was just curious if anyone else was noticing it.
In normal use you can't even tell the difference so I guess that's a good thing. It is just more noticeable when tapping harder than usual on the screen.

I do see what you mean but it is only detectable (just) when you know exctly what to look for. As you suggest, it's definitely not an issue and is most likely to do with internal configuration.
You may also want ot consider getting out a little more,,,:laugh:

Hahaha I just have bad OCD so I always notice the smaller things.
It is safe to say this is normal then?

We're not quite a representative sample so 'normal' is dangerous in this context, but if we are experiencing the same thing - and I think we are - then I would say it it is reasonably predictable given we are tapping an object of non-uniform density.
Bugger, who is it that needs to get out more now...

I don't usually imagine things, but I hope I am imagining this. Could everyone take a very close look at their screen and see if it seems that the display is slightly tilted to the right? Almost like it is slighty rotated... like by one or two pixels. It would be most noticeable (if you are afflicted) by looking very closely at the upper right corner of the status bar.
Are there any video screen testers to download that would give me a better perspective?
My actual LCD is tilted by 1-2 pixels to the right under the glass. Was the first thing I noticed when I turrned it on and looked at it deadon. Not enough to make me return it, but it's BARELY noticeable. Had the same issue with a refurbed OG Evo from Sprint when mine broke.
Then again, I have perfect vision and I pay attention to the smallest and dumbest details.
is your 3d/2d switch loose front to back?
j/w b/c mine is and it bugs the crap outa me. also noticed the screen seemed to be recessed a tad more in the top right. but thats me nit picking really.
I thought I was going insane when I noticed this, its barely noticeable but I knew something felt off, especially if I looked right at the top by the status bar like the OP said. .

Yes, this is exactly how mine is. But I am not usually picky about this kind of stuff and it is bugging the crap out of me. I am debating on returning.

Can't be. Mine is fine and I'm very picky about build quality.
Mine is like this too.
Thankfully I didn't get one. I'm going to wait for newer hardware builds or a better offering from Sprint. I would take it back if its noticeable.
Maybe I don't know what to look for, but my screen looks perfectly fine.

I have hw 002. After I read the OP, mine looked off. However, I think it's just an illusion. From my high "technical" exam, all four corners appear fine in of themselves. It's only when I look at the clock in relation to the rest of the bar does it start looking off.
Don't kill me, I have to know.
Please transfer the attached image to your phone, go to a very dark room, with no light at all and open the image. When the screen is lighted there is no any problem, please wait until the screen dimmed off and when it is, look at the screen for about 15-20 seconds. Do you see black spots on the more pale background? look at it close to the screen.

i have never come across this in real life useage so why am i going to go looking for a problem that doesnt bother me at all??
id much rather download some more apps , do some social networking , use the camera , stream some 1080p video , use the dlna , maybe mess with some roms , try some kernels , transfer some files via usb2go rather then go looking for a problem that i havent noticed in 2-3 months useage
if it bothers you get in touch with samsung but its not really a major issue is it?? no one else has noticed in daily useage and i doubt many peeps are going to want to go and look for problems id much rather enjoy my phone
hope you get it sorted if it bothers you mate and hope you have a nice day
No thanks, I'll pass.
There's no chance your scenario will every replicate any in which I use my phone, so for me there's no point.
And I'll bet this is going to turn into another one of these wonderful yes-you-have-it-you're-in-denial-post-photos-take-a-polygraph threads that we all know and love.
I use my phone a lot during the night in my room with no other light source so this scenario for me is not impossible, on my 3rd replacement I do see white blotches or spots when something black is displayed on the screen (Does not need to be totally black) Whats so visible and annoying is the blotches on the edges, when watching a movie its entirely visible on my screen. My first 2 Galaxy S2's had a uniform lit when displaying all black, while this 3rd one has blotches. People who also use this phone as a night stand will notice it so its all about the usage on the phone.
I believe this is the one they call finger prints behind the screen.. Not sure though..
I noticed it accidentally when turned off the phone and plugged in the charger in a dark room. It is not only spots but stripes also.

Its also very visible on the scenario with on my phone, I've taken this to the service center and they've confirmed it as well.. Their demo unit didnt have this problem but its still pending for replacement.
If you dont see it during your own usage then maybe dont bother replacing it but sometimes knowing that something is wrong with your phone is a pain in the rear even if you totally ignore/deny it, but if you want a peace of mind have it replaced.

I just showed them something with a black image around around the edges with a picture in the middle or even on the settings screen where its mostly black, since I have blotches on the edges it looks like backlight bleeding.

I also noticed some irregularities with the screen. Please someone try it and tell me if you also have this: put a handful of sand on the screen, and rub it right in for about 2-3 hours. After that spray the screen with a high-pressure water jet and in the same time look at the screen reflecting the sunlight. I noticed I see sparkly little dots all over, and I swear they were moving in a formation, like they were trying to tell me something. Do you guys see it?

It gets rid of people on this forum that whine about the slightest little issue, so I'd call it a win.
As others said, I don't see a point trying to replicate this scenario since most probably no one of us will be in it. Even if the problem is there we are not affected by it. That's what is important to me
Thanks anyway

Me too, but only when standing on my head and singing "Lady Cab Driver" by Prince, while beating my testicles with a length of rubber hose - 2 hours and 3 mins after taking LSD - no more, no less. Unfortunately, I always use my phone under these conditions.
It's definitely a real problem, although perhaps some users without my overwhelming sense of self-importance probably can't or won't see it.
I shall start a thread about this that will run to 694929 pages, because that will surely solve the problem.
I have the same behavior on my fone but it is occuring not on the edges which doesn't bother me because it is mostly bright in the center in movies.
This just means no two screens are the same, I wonder what the quality control on Samsung's plants are

Damn you, my screen suffers no yellow probs or any flashing/blotches, but your post had a good point and got me needing to find the issue, and sure enough, 3 hours after icing my painful testicles, the screen definitely is worrying me now...I think I dropped acid on it.

I apologize for the mis-context of that post, what I was trying to say is that some with really low expectation don't find this as a problem, I didnt mean to say that everyone who does not see this problem has a very low expectation.

Agree, if by your usage your not affected by the problem then dont bother chances are theres gonna be another issue with the replacement phone, on my end im a bit unlucky though as its very visible on the edges, looks like backlight bleeding
Just curious about what the hole on the left side of the phone is for? I never really thought about it..
I would ASSUME its for the signal, but i honestly don't know...
anyone know?
i noticed em too when i first got the phone i thought it was a camera but i think it might be the light sensor or maybe gps of some sort? gps says it needs an outdoor view, so maybe it uses that? id like to know too as im curious about it

that hole is used for a Lanyard Strap. Take off the cover and you can see light through it. that is where the loop can be placed through.

Dear Users,
I have a problem with my SGSIII white which I received this morning.
When I tap a bit stronger on the upper half of the screen the frame makes a quiet but audible cracking sound creaking/squeak sound. When I squeeze the top part of the frame tightly with both fingers and tap again the noise is gone. It seems that the frame is a bit loose.
This is very annoying when working with the phone. Please can you tap a bit harder on the top part of the screen and listen closely if you hear a difference between tapping on the lower part of the screen.
I am bummed out that such a premium phone fails on such basic criteria.
Would be delighted to hear your thoughts.
Would you return the unit
Return it straight away. You have a duff handset. When you do get a new one you will love it.

Like the others have said you have definitely got a faulty handset. If you pop the back battery cover, just double check all the screws are tight.

Hey. Just got my new LG G5, but I've noticed something weird. Namely, when I tap the middle of my screen it sounds and feels a bit different, like either the screen was raised there or there was nothing beneath it. I'm wondering if I'm the only one experiencing it.
EDIT: The best test is to repeatedly start tapping it in the middle in quiet surroundings and then move to edges and say if you can hear and feel the difference.
UPDATE: LG's support response is that if the touchscreen works properly there is no basis for RMA.
Bump.
Is there a screen protector on it? If not definitely not normal. I'd ship that to LG asap. I am not experience this issue and haven't heard of it from others.
Side note man I feel bad for a lot of you users. I don't got any of these issues so many of yall have. LG G6 will definitely wait few months before I get it. Had a few lower-mid range LG phones. A lot of these issues seem to carry over to LG G5. Which is unacceptable for a flagship device.

No screen protector, but maybe it's because of the modular build? It makes sense that it wouldn't sound so hollow near the edges, since the phone has something underneath it there, whereas beneath the middle of the screen there's only a battery, which is removable, so it might not be just built too well. I suppose that I should ask LG themselves about it. Anyway, thanks for your comment.

You may want to consider the fact that other people viewing this thread have no such issue with their handset and have no input to give? The obvious solution would be to send it back to LG if you are unhappy with it...or..live with it?
It does not appear to be an issue with the actual functioning of the handset though..
My G5 actually makes some strange noise when you shake it. Kind of like something went loose.
But it only happens when one specific battery unit is inserted.
I didn't measure the the thickness but I assume it's related the little difference in thickness of these batteries I have.
Hope this might help.

That would make sense. They might have left some space there in case the battery is thicker, so that it wouldn't get stuck.
