I just bought a S3 and since a few days my back cover is turning a bit black in the shape of a H (see pic)
Does anyone know what this is?
Thanks!
That's really odd! I dunno but I'd mention it to Samsung though buddy

Haha nah it aint a joke, I don't think I can return it to samsung cause it didn't buy the phone at a store, I got it off marktplaats, same thing as ebay.
I'd take it back to where you got it from. Unless you have been putting on a big H at night.

In that case maybe try a new battery cover. And see if it happens to that.

it could be caused by the case? something to do with the pull strap to eject the phone. is the gap in the H the same thickness as the pull strap?
Ok, it all make sense now, the H is where the helikopter should land to recover the phone when lost

It could be that the previous owner had something stuck to the back of the phone. Perhaps velcro and the coloring is from the adhesive used? I don't know. Just an idea.
Its where the parachute deploys when its been dropped..
Hows that for inovation

Instead of the usual Airplane Mode, your Galaxy SIII comes equipped with Helicopter Mode. Nothing to worry about.
Why not just buy another back from eBay dude? Cheap as.

I have jumped on the SGN LTE Wagon, she's a beauty, and so was the X2 (minus that annoying screen ghosting). I'll be at the Nexus forums, you can find me there.
But just wanted to say thanks to all Devs and modders here who helped make my X2 amazing and I leave behind a brand new..... Droid x2 3800mah EXTENDED BATTERY WITH CHARGER STILL IN PACKAGE from the review I did last year (bought 2)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,
How can I go about doing this? I'll even pay shipping, any suggestions? Raffles? Open to ideas, I want a good home for it and someone who will deserve it and won't have to wait to get it from India and wait 3 years for delivery...
Well any way of doing it would have to be random. That's how contests usually are.

those are reassuring comments, but the pics of the phone that exploded are whats got me worried.
Every phone ever built will have at least one model exploding. It happened with the iPhone too.
Don't worry about it.

Somebody died swallowing water, that does not make the water poisonous.
There are 10.000.000 s3's out there, apart from the suspicion the exploded phone was microwaved, chances are that 1 out of that many apples contain a worm, 1 out of that many cars have a bad tail pipe. Etc.
Get insurance. Done. And even if it does explode within the first year, Warranty is there. After that? Insure with provider.

Actually the report came back from a Samsung investigation that the phone was damaged by microwaves and that the user put the phone in a microwave to dry it off.
Search around and you'll find the link that was posted on xda.
Unless you are as stupid as that guy, it'll be safe.

Actually, within the EU the warranty is two years, if you didn't already know. (Check the warranty booklet if you don't believe me)
I'm always surprised how few people know this since all manufacturers provide it. Everyone just assumes it is one year.
Might not apply to OP (since there's no location), but just making sure no one gets ripped off buying an "extended warranty" for after the 1st year. Accident insurance is not the same though, and may well be worth it.

Please help! I bought my Nexus 10 on december 16th at Sams Club. Everything was working fine until today. I turned on my Nexus and the screen was all messed up. It is almost completely black with just a few colors showing.
It is not rooted or messed with at all. It still has the plastic covers. I can't believe this happened. One night everythings is fine, the next moring the screen no longer works. I haven't droped it or anything like that. I take good care of it.
What should I do? Has this happend to anybody else?
Warranty? Call Sammy.

You can always see if a factory reset does anything, though I'm not confident of that. Bet bet is warranty service through Samsung.

I did the factory reset but didn't help. The problem with warranty is I can't find the receipt. Des anybody know if I'll be asked for it if I call Samsung?
You said everything was fine untill this happened, so you've never noticed any distorted lines of flicker in the screen before this? I know some folks are seeing that happen intermittently and I'm curious if it might be related.

hey man! i love the phone..amazing screen. quicker than my GS4. some bits of lag that annoy me (theres lag when going back to teh home screen..seems as if the launcher redraws every signle time, but it freezes movement so you don't actually SEE the redraw.)
the one was a great phone, and i loved my DNA..but the camera on both were meh. i played with a one in the store, and while it's great, and those spekaers rock, the screen was too small.
the speaker is nothing special on the G2, to be honest. there's some kind of built in limiter/compressor that you CAN'T turn off, which sucks, because it makes music sound kinda crappy over it. haven't tried headpohnes yet.
over all, fast, awesome phone though with a great screen.

the lag i believe is simply the launcher handling refreshes. it's not always there, but sometimes hwen you go back home and try to switch pages irght away, it doesn't do anything, then it moves over very choppy.
