{q}what hell is wrong with text on s3??? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am coming from an HTC One X and I am generally very pleased with the SGS3....The speed, camera,battery etc. Everything seems better except one thing that is bugging me a lot....I am talking about the UGLY HALOS AROUND TEXT.
I realize Samsung does this oversharpening of everything on-screen (mdnie) but text on grey background especially suffers like the "settings menu in Google Talk"
Am I the only one hating this thing about the display?? Samsung should give us some setting to disable it

In over 2 months of owning the S3 I have never noticed any halos anywhere.

Never had any problems with text, it's sharp and clear.

There are some jagged edges on the text outlines which is quiet visible to my eyes. Hope you guys can see it

Well, text is not super sharp and a little jagged edges. But I don't see the so called 'halos' around texts.

Seriously try go into settings/display/screen mode and alter it to dynamic.

Down side to covering the noise cancelling mic?

Looks like it is going to be awhile before the case I want is out. I can get the international version of it now. But like others have pointed out it covers the top noise cancelling mic. If I do that what exactly is that going to do?

Not much. You can also cut a hole in these cases carefully and use them if you are really concerned.

Yeah the focal point is off, it was hard to tell from the viewfinder when the picture is pretty much a black on black reflective object . I didn't want to spend the time shooting it again, but you can see the hole.

Hey, they added more colors (blue, black, and "red") were the only ones when I bought mine. That red appears to be masquerading as orange.
I'd imagine you could also accomplish something very similar with a Dremel tool and the right bit.
Or if you want the $0.10 solution, a paperclip and lighter.

[Skyrocket] Grainy screen

Anyone seen this, the screen on my skyrocket looks almost like it's dirty on the inside, it's streaky and splotchy especially at low brightness settings.
I noticed it when I was catching up a bit on a book in bed, it was quite distracting. I've never seen this before.
I've seen it to nothing to worry about though. It seems all the super amoled plus screen got this problem at low brightness settings.

i have seen others say the same thing about theres......BUT others like ME say that the screen is fine i dont see any of that. dark or bright.
i am Happy
it was like that with the OGSGS2 that I got.. when you lower the brightness you can see all the "flaws". now with the Skyrocket I see exactly the same thing.
I am starting to htink it's "normal" on these screen.
Yeah same with Infuse, I love my screen, loved the Infuse screen.
Could we please not post Skyrocket stuff in the GS2 general section?
MOD: Please make a new section for the Skyrocket. It has nothing to do with the AT&T GS2...

white lines with spaces all over screen

Ok got a question for all you Prime owners.Before i ask the question let me just say i love my prime no issues for me just lil things but nothing major.If my screen is off and light hits it the right way there are these little fine white lines all over the screen from top to bottom.From the start of the screen to the end.You can also see them when the screen is on if you look hard enough.Anybody else have this problem.Got mines from gamestop.
Not trying to be a ****, but how in any way does this belong in the Development section?
Wrong section. But that's the touch screen grid, don't worry about it.
i just noticed i posted in the wrong forum thought i was in the other.Mods sorry about this if you can remove i would appreciateit thanks.

Ok thanks.Thought it was something else.Yours have this.
its used to find where your fingers magnetic field is coming in contact with the screen which is how capacitive multi-touch screens work, on some devices its very visible like my prime and inspire but others like the iPhone you can't see it at all but I kind of like it I think it looks cool

Lmao.Right.Still laughing at your post.

[Q] Which color?

So, the obvious question, Pebble Blue or Marble White. Which color you have chosen and why?
White because it doesn't come in black.
If I get it I'm going to see it 1st hand. I would have went for white, but think the blue like nice. Got to be sure ads should have this for 2 years
Gone for white as i have always had black phones, the blue looks near black but i fancy a change and from the pics white just looks gorgeous, now i get 7 days to change my mind when i recieve it, thats if i hate it or the mrs drives me crazy calling me a girl for having a white phone!!!!

If your still looking, Moment Lens is about to start shipping. They seem pretty darn awesome. Also, iProLens is coming out with an S5 version. But the Moment Lens is really nice. Check out their Instagram feed.
I tried Ztylus Revolver lens when I had an S4, it really degraded picture quality.
