Anyone else ever get a blue tinted screen? Occasionally (several times a week), when I reboot the screen has a very dark blue tint. I tried to take a screenshot to post, but the screen shot looks normal. Rebooting fixes the issue most of the time. I am running Neo's Tron ROM (v1.2) and Shrike's Ermahgerd (build 12.2.5) kernel. anyone ever seen this before? any ideas to fix?
Maybe try a different ROM and see if it is still there. I personally haven't seen the blue tint on my zound so hard to say.

Thanks. I'm pretty sure I have only seen it on Tron, but I flashed Tron when it first came out in mid January and only started seeing this issue a couple of weeks ago.... I'll take a picture with my camera next time it happens and post it.
Well in the movie tron the programs was basically blue lol. Sorry had to say it.

Has anyone who tried out this phone tested it for the screen lines/blobs issue that the S2 had?
I would also like to know this too the yellow tint issue, and black blobs. I had the issue in both my SGS 2 black and White...though in galaxy nexus it was vey negligible but still there . I hope its not in SGS 3
There seems to be a pink tint rather than yellow tint.

Should probably wait a bit before buying this phone, who knows what the probability is.
Bump. People should know about this before buying the phone.
Most of the screen won't have tint problems . But still people can check the screen using lcd test code before taking it to home

What about black crush issues? Is it all pixellated when viewing dark videos or images?

I hate this on my S2. Hopefully in a few days when people start getting their phones we will have these questions answered.
LCD TEST CODE is *#0*#

Has any S3 owner checked the issue about the pixelization when viewing dark videos or images?

Yup! I received my SGS3 yesterday, and after seeing this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1658601 I checked the Iron man Pepper Kiss video on Youtube and I did not notice any problems!
The pixelization is sometimes caused by poor encoding.
I received the phone yesterday.
Did the LCD tests.
All tests are crystal clear. RGB backgrounds look like glass and the black videos are deep blacks without pixalation of any form.
I also checked another thread talking about some kind of pixels that were appearing as different colour and this didn't occur either.
The screen works perfectly and it does look gorgeous despite that pentile screen debate.
If a phone doesn't perform as described by me (and many many others) then the phone is simply defective and will be covered by DOA.
Bumb:cyclops: sorry
I noticed my screen has black blotches in the screen that are only visible when you are in are dark room looking at a black (or dark gray) background. Both of these conditions must be met to see it. This is actually my second gs3, I returned my first one cause it did it really bad and I later noticed that the new one also did it. Can any of you guys confirm that yours also does this? Go to Google images and l search black and look at that image.

That's normal side effects of samoled screen. Stop worrying about it and enjoy your phone.

Just wanted to hear that it's normal, I figured it was the case after my second phone. It's hard to feel like your phone may possibly be defective when it's less than a week old. Looks great 99 percent of the time.

I dropped my SGS2 at a party saturday (april 13th), but it came up without a scratch on the screen, just a very small bruise on the corner of the phone, no problems till then.
Monday (april 15th) when I was going to bed I noticed a pink shade on the bottom left corner of my screen, I could only notice it on white backgrounds.
I really dont know what happened to the screen since it is without a bruise, does someone know what is it? Does it have a fix?
I'll upload a photo ASAP.
Thank you!

Its more like a soft red, I thought it is very strange too...
I'll be seeing a tech soon, hopefully a screen replacement will not be needed!

I dont know if it was related to the hit that my phone suffered, but it wasnt there before it! It became visible from one day to another, I use a lot of white screens for emails and browsing, I would have noticed it before...
Im supposed to see a tech Thursday, let's pray for the best

I recently got a new HTC one, and I'm having a small issue. On the phone, the soft buttons Home and Back seem to have a slight pink hue to them. Is this some setting I'm missing? Or are they all like that? Or is mine defective?
Has anyone else seen this? Thanks!

I just got the Note 2 a few weeks and so far it's my favorite phone I've ever owned. I love the big screen, I use the S pen all the time and the battery is tremendous.
One thing that I'm not quite fond of is the screen brightness, specially when using Netflix.
I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed this with Netflix but the brightness on the phone seems to be OK but as soon as I start playing something on Netflix it's really dim. I have the brightness turned all the way up and it still looks really dim.
The quality also isn't great either, it's like it's not playing in HD or something. I've tried connecting to 4G and Wi-Fi and it still doesn't always look so great.
Wondering if there anyone knows of a solution or a hack or something?
I watch a lot of Netflix on my phone and would love to solve this.
I am rooted and I'm using JellyBeans 21 ROM.
Thanks.
Try going back to stock ROM and check if the issue persists.
I noticed that beans rom has reduced brightness overall (cannot say for sure but that was what I felt comparing against stock)

Have you adjusted your quality levels on netflix.com yet? If your not worried about data or use wifi alot crank up quality settings on the site. Then reboot and fire flix back up. As the video buffers during play quality will slowly increase. Depending on your connection it should play pretty decent quality a minute or so into the video. And if you use mx player for your video files make sure you have mx brightness turned up. Im pretty sure mx settings are independent of system. Im also running 21 but I always use beans stock kernel. And even on the puter or xbox netflix Never truly hits HD.

kernels don't do it either... sorry i'm not trying to troll you or anything it's just not true. maybe you hit "auto-adjust screen tone" in settings? it's a samsung setting that basically reduces brightness.l
Do a search on XDA and download the app called "A Brighter Note" (if you are rooted). It enables you to brighten your screen about 10% more.

If you do just remember one thing.
The AMOLED screen in our phones gets burn in if your not careful. the brighter the screen the quicker the burn in, at least thats what ive been told.
I have not seen any burn in on my phone, but I know people who are always at max brightness and you can see their status bar even in full screen apps because its burnt in...
