Yep, the gap is slightly worse on the phone I have now, im using the pic from the one i had exchanged, though this one has it as well. It's really annoying. I've noticed the blue one doesn't seem to have it at all, though watching some youtube videos on the white one its more apparent though not every phone is like that?
Seems minor but water damage isn't covered by warranty unless you buy it; the phone costs enough, its just a pain in the arse.
Anyone with the white s3 have this gap?
I have the blue one and yes.. This gap is present too...
Nothing to worry about, but, if I slide my finger across the button, slightly pressing it, it does "click" (is not the same when you are pressing it to wake up the screen..)
I have two launch models (which were made in Korea) and they have very solid home buttons.
I have 3 models produced a few weeks later (made in Vietnam) and they all have the lop sided/loose home button.
Pretty poor from Samsung...
Marble white.. all even steven here.

Hmm really does sound like luck of the draw. The home button is put on before the screen itself I believe so only way to fix it is by replacing the screen which sucks pretty bad tbh.
@Crazy CS- you're right you haven't done a completely solid job with the Galaxy s3 have they =/
I tried looking for manufacturering issues and theres quite a few niggly little things about the s3, it's just such a shame!
Anyone else? I've just ordered another Marble White model from a different seller. I think my first one was manufactured by Korea then the current one by Samsung themselves; Waiting on a new one tomorrow- Praying it's perfect...
I'd really like to know what the ratio seems to be as it's pretty much 50/50 for this right now for having a well manufactured Galaxy s3.
Is this a general issue or, colour specific etc.

Seems to be poor quality control on Samsungs part, New phone arrived today (third time; somewhat lucky) buttons perfectly centred but does move off into the 'gapped' position :') and the in-between the screen and white phone screen it has light reflecting :') You have to pick the lesser evil with this phone you really do :')
I've played with at least 10 S3s that have just come out of the box and each one has had a different issue. Lopsided home button, loose volume rocker, really flushed power button...... Samsung have really done a bad job this time around.

If you hold your Galaxy S 2 in your hand as normal and tap it at the top, does it sound like their is something lose to you? Mine feels like there's something rolling around inside it and I only had this replacement today!
All of the top half of the screen aswell when I tap it sounds like their is something loose, it seems to be comming from the camera area of the phone.
I have a brand new one comming tomorrow but I just want to see if this is actually normal?
Thanks
I don't have a Galaxy S2 yet, but since it shares most of its components with the iPhone 4, I would assume that the sound is the gyroscope. My iPhone 4 does that sound too when I shake it, and it's coming somewhere near the volume buttons. SGS2 also has a gyroscope and I think that's the source of the sound.
I'm just not sure if my other one did the same thing, hmm. Would like to hear from other people.
Cheers
Can anyone else try this for me please?
I have no rattling coming from mine...

Same here, I have 2 of them near to speakers. I only see them when the screen is black( like webos booting). Probably something is pressing to lcd. Can we do something against it? Does it go under warranty?

I have them at random spots at random times (sometimes right at the middle of the screen); I tried sending it in for repair, but they just sent it back after doing a doctor - so the problem is still there.
Took some pics when it happened if someone wants to see it.
Maybe dead pixels?
Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk
No, in my case, it tends to come and go as it pleases.
I have those spots as well. I think its just normal clouding as on most TVs. Since its only visible when the screen is completely black, its not that much of a problem.
One time I pressed down on the center of the screen by mistake with my elbow, and when I looked at the screen there was a yellow light halo in the center about an inch wide. I freaked out, but I 'massaged' the screen softly in the center and it went away. Might be something pressing behind the screen ?
I've yet to get my TP, hopefully by next week.
But as I read all your posts, it sounds a little bit like "Screen Burn in".
But, burn in usually most noticable with a white screen, not a black screen like some you have mentioned. Again I'm just taking a wild guess here.
I guess I will be able to contribute more when I get my device.
But then again I'm Hoping I won't have this problem at all.
=o)
Edit: 02/10/2012
I've had my HPTP for over a week now and have yet to experience any yellow spots on the screen anywhere.
Could this be an issue that happens over a period of time?
How long have you guys had your HPTP before this problem started?
I have the problem also. There are also some issues, like glue-points between the display and the cover, the display sticks off at the home button and there are other issues of the production. My touchpad is only a few weeks old and now i will send it back under warranty.

yup, same thing just happened to me
On the left side and up in the corner if it is a yellowish on dark that is lightbleed. I have it bad enough it is very visible even at 50%. This appears to be a common issue. I sent mine in for something else and it came back with still light bleed. They have offered advanced replacement, but the more I read the more I believe this is common and will never be fully free of it.
Here's a slideshow for people to make fun of:

Its actually worse than the camera picks up;

I already have, but as mentioned, it just came back the same way; I've had this problem since I've bought it.
The worst ones are at the edges of the screen, but I didn't manage to get pics of when it happened.
Looks like internal screen delamination. That should def. be covered under your warranty as its a manufacturing defect that occurred when the screen was originally made. It's nothing you did.

The problem is that even though its under warranty, they don't do anything about it - possibly because they do not notice it as it pops up at random times.
So far after owning the phone for 3 days I've noticed several problems with my Note and may go ahead and return it for a new one. First my stylus seems to to thinks its pressed down when it's not but only towards the bottom of my screen where the "space" and "." key are on the Samsung keyboard. Secondly I've noticed a dark splotch and some dots towards the top of my screen thats only visable on grey to black colors and is really only visable at night. Lastly ive beeb unable to get my USB host to work, though its possible its just the cable (from/for my old Nokia N810). Anyways have any of you guys experienced these problems or other problems and is it worth returning in my case? Thanks.
Yes!!!! Mine does that too around the space and period key. Have you oc'd? I think that is my issue. I returned my phone and got a brand new one but it still had the same issue but only after that. And only after charging.

Is a no brainer that if you have anything but a beautiful screen you should return it, the screen in this phone is amazing so if you notice anything like you say I would definitely return and get it replaced for a new one.

I also have the dark spots. If i go into google and type in black screen and make it full screen and go under a blanket in pitch black there are spots on the screen that look like large individual pixels that are more black than the rest kf the screen. Theres probably like 28 tiny squares that so this.
Cant see them on any other color though. And cant sse them them at day when on a black screen.

There is a thread about the stylus issue here in the forums. Sorry can't get you the link right now. I can tell you mine does not do that.
About the splotches, it's inherent to how AMOLED screens are manufactured. Everyone has them. Some worse than others. It has never bothered me though.

Yeah really the screen spots arent a HUGE issue for me its the stylus, the fact it only does it in that one spot leads me to believe its a digitizer issur rather than just the stylus, though it doesnt do it with my ThinkPad tablet PC's Wacom pen...
Please go to this thread and run all the image/video tests to see if your screen issue is even worse than you think right now:

Well guys I took my Note to the AT&T store and showed them the problem with the stylus, both display models did it and the Note one of the AT&T employees owned did the same thing, they gave me another Note but it did it worse! so I got them to give me back my original Note. What do you think? mass defect? does anyone elses do this?
So has anyone noticed a loose power button on their s3? The bottom of the button has a pretty good wiggle to it. It clicks just fine when you press it. Any thoughts on this? Is this normal for Samsung phones? Thanks!

Yes! Mine doesn't feel quite as firm as the volume rocker. I was considering asking someone in a Sprint store.

Well so far it points to maybe being normal. I mean it works and it doesnt stick or anything. So I guess I am torn to bring it in or not. Either way I have 20 or so more days to bring it in if I see fit.
Still interested if this is how Samsung wanted it or maybe just a bad unit.
Mines pretty loose as well, but it works fine. On sprints version

Thinking on Friday I will pop down to my local ATT corp store and compare the button to the floor model.
Anyone else planning on doing a return due to this issue?
Mine is good and tight, AT&T Pebble Blue. I did have a white one before that was loose and very clicky. Haven't felt that on either of the 3 blue versions I have tried. Maybe it's related to color?
Those who have a loose button, is your phone white?
Yes mine is white. It clicks when ya press it and it works just fine. Its just got a little wiggle to it! I'm gonna bring it in to have ATT take a look at it. See what they think. I bet is they will open another one to see if its the same way. I was reading online on another set of forums that one store had opened 4-5 boxes and they all had some wiggle room to them. Both blue and white models. I will see if I can find it again and link it.
My S3 power button is also kinda loose but it works without issues. I also noticed that it is more flush with phone compared to the volume rocker. It has a slightly more 'mushy' than the volume button.
I believe the thread you are talking about is below, and I was the one who asked for many units to be checked lol
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1714031
The button feels firm when pressed, but is just not as tight as volume rocker...
Given the amount of people that have it, it seems more or less 'acceptable' and I don't know how stores will change each 'loose/mushy' one...

That was the thread indeed! I think I am gonna hold off on the return unless it becomes worse or sticks. Either way I love the phone so far! With my Otterbox case it will cover the button anyways.

Hey guys I've had the Galaxy Note for awhile and I love it. Right now something that worries me is the wobbly power button. It still works well but wobblyness sometimes makes the tilt a bit so that it's hard to know if I pressed it or not but still works 100% of the time. Is this normal?
Wobbly power button is definitely not normal. Not a wiggle in mine.
at least yours works, my forces a reboot/bootloop everytime I use it. i have to bypass is with a volume wake and screen off widget

If it's still on warranty with your carrier replace it. If it giant see if Samsung will replace it. Curious though: white model or black?

It's the black model. I might be exaggerating a bit on the wobbliness but it is sorta noticeable. I think I can live with it, and my warranty is long enough so that if something does happen to it I can just say it's a defect and replace it.
Fair enough. I have only seen hairline cracks on the white models so that's why I asked. I've dropped my black note too many times to count and flashed it too many times to count and so far no cracks and no wobbliness and only a few minor scuffs and scratches on the bezel.
