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.

No mine is still completely stock, never overclocked.
I'll look around. I was interested if anyone had similar issues. Thx!

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?
Hey,
I was watching the videos and the hands-on pictures of galaxy s3 and i noticed that there's an ugly gap between the screen and the bezel and its really bothering me, especially on the white version of the phone. Can anyone tell me why is it that way? I tried searching for the answer but couldn't find any so i decided to ask it here.
Thanks for the replies in advance.
I thing every phone has this black gap
not as much as s3
I too noticed the gap and it is much more visible in white sgs3 than blue. lets see what the s3 users say
It's there, but I don't even notice unless I focus on it. The screen is way to good to focus on a small black gap.

I didn't realize it was there until reading this post ;-) Non-issue IMO.
BTW I have the white SGIII.

you know i was deciding to change my mind and wait for pebble blue color bcoz i thought that gap would be an issue. Thanks for clarifying.
Literally didn't notice it until you pointed it out. I have the white and its fine. Probably less noticeable on the blue.

but its so visible lol howcome you didnt notice that 0_o
Have you held a S III in your own hands yet? Videos/photos don't show the real beauty of the phone. Don't be so quick to judge

I noticed the gaps on my first S3, i went for a replacement this morning because of very obvious spots on my display under black background. Suprisingly, the new unit does not have gaps between the bezel and screen. It fits nicely.
I hade this gap too, should i return it ? I have a smaller One side of the bigger that are under the home button
I had this gap on my White S3, its like screen was coming off and i can see small amount of glu coming out of it.
i went back to shop and exchange with new one which is fine no issues now.
I too never noticed the gap until this thread...not an issue IMO (I have a white S3)
Sorry to revive this thread but I also have this under my home button (though not nearly as bad as mani79 had). I just see a small "ridge" between the screen and plastic bezel.
The display model at my local AT&T store has it as well.
in having a look at my white s3, i dont have any issues whatso ever, not even a small amount of lifting or seperation. Must just be luck of the draw
Notice the ridge between the chrome and glass in this stock photo? That's what I'm talking about. That little ridge.
just check, mine looks ok
I have the pebble blue version and a small gap on the bottom - it isnt noticeable though but I will keep an eye on it as I wont be happy if it starts filling up with dust and becomes unsightly.
This phone has a gap similar but slightly worse than mine. Notice the gap on the right and bottom of the screen.
Hi
My 5 month old galaxy S3 LCD has started leaking pink colour from the top left corner. It is very prominent and permanent now. I have also attached a pic (sorry for the quality of the pic as it is taken from a laptop cam). What can I do to resolve this?
Thanks for your help in advance

Well, it's definitely a hardware issue, so take it to Samsung
Have written to them. But can I expect them to solve this problem?
Sure buddy they will repair but not sure about whether you have to pay or they will do it for free.

i would like to know if someone knows if one lcd+digitizer+frame would solve the next problem
my father drop down his s3 and first the cellphone has one line in the middle of the screen
but it was working(one part of the screen looked normal and the other half was darker)
after few days the cellphone didn't show anything on the lcd but it can be powered on and vibrates
in mexico the replacements are overpriced for this cellphone like $210 bucks for the lcd,so i was thinking to buy the lcd
and replace it by myself.
but i wanted to be sure if only buying theses part the cellphone would be working fine again.
thanx and i hope someone could help me.

Shld be the lcd only. Not too sure. Wait for a more experienced guy to confirm it before buying. The touch works right?

I was thinking about buying the LCD and digitizer assembly with The frame because i have seen that they are glued. But concern is about The line that appeared on the s3 ,i don t want To buy the part and continue with one half screen dead.
Thanx anyway for the response,i will wait more for another one
If you want to replace LCD your self see YouTube videos. There's lot of videos for "How To". In some videos they used glue.

thanx for your answer but
my main question is, replacing the lcd with digitizer and frame will resolve my problem?(the lcd is the only thing damaged) or could be something else that made the half look darker on the screen?

yes or no is the answer
Probable but not 100% certain that lcd is only part damaged .
better to replace LCD with digitalizer.. I think the combination is like that
Hi everyone. Thanks already for having a look!
So I dropped my i9300 on my carpet, while i was taking it out of the case that I usually have it in ... and now my display doesn't work anymore
I still get my notifications beeps and emails are coming in, the buttons light but but my screen is dark (I see two fainted lines sometimes)
I see it is cracked on the inside but the glass is fine from the outside (really odd).
I am not sure if that's called a digitizer or LED pane or whatnot but maybe you can help me. Where would i get that part and how i could do that myself. All the tutorials i could find were for cracked screens (where the glass is busted)
Thank you very much in advance for the help!!
Sounds to me tat its just the beneath of the glass since the digitizer and all is in one piece. Not sure though. I think it is btr for u to just bring it to a repair shop.
