No. Mine was one of the first batch from the UK in May and has a cool/blue cast to the display. A couple of friends got theirs from the UK and they look like mine.

I'm not sure you are referring to the issue that made the screen gradually faded to a lighter color on one side, that was a software issue fixed on recent ROM releases.
99% have that tint? Ive never seen it in real life... Mine is normal, no yellow/blue tint, I got it at release day.

And you've seen 5,999,999 phones to be able to draw this conclusion? Some people have problems and in certain regions exchanges seem to be coming from the same batches so I can see why it may seem widespread. It's not or more people on the forum would be *****ing.
Mine had this issue and after replacing screen it has it again but little less. Mine frend has it too. so conclusion is only blind people think they dont have it

I don't think I am that blind compared my screen to a new sg2 I don't see the yellow or blue ting I purchased mine Aug 3rd. Is anyone who purchased their SGII in North America having this issue or is it just the first release batch outside of North America that is having this problem? Some on asked for a screen shot so we can all see what your looking at how about it.

None of tge SGS II has a yellow lcd display issue.... the SGS II doesn't have lcd but oled
Anyway it's a non-issue, if you really don't like the color balance of your display you just change it using chainfire3d pro

you know what they say thou beauty is in the eye of the beholder , so im guessing most people either a don’t notice it , or b simply live with it.
I showed my first phone which was quite bad to numerous people some people spotted it straight away and was shocked like me, others didn’t but did notice it when pointed out, but said they could live with it on another note they all noticed the pink spot instantly anyhow .....
I’ve had 2 now both from different batches and awaiting third tomorrow ive checked the device out in numerous shops and they all had it to various degrees along with smear / ghosting text (which not many people seem to complain about). Reminds me of when Sony released there flagship tv the x3500 followed by the led version the x4500 both of these flagship tvs had smear / ghosting. This was acknowledged as a draw back of that technology as the panel needed to warm up.
However Samsung haven’t said anything in relation to this i.e. if its a fault or a drawback with the technology which leaves most people who are unhappy with there device swapping it endlessly looking for a perfect / working model free from yellow tint or pink spot when in reality there is no such device.
thanks bcoz of ur replays.
but today i c one of my friends that have sgs2 and they sgs2 have not this issue )
i root and install cm7,criscelo,Villain,litening but i never c yellow issue in left side
NOW I AM LOOKING FOR A NEW SGS2 WITH OK LED :d
THANKS

You can replace the screen a million times, the software is the culprit... the issue has been fixed by Samsung. They adjusted the screen sensors to distribute evenly the light intensity.
Fun test for yawl... If you find the "tint" noticeable... Go to display settings, turn OFF the option that says "Auto adjust screen power"
viola.
No more tint.
however, only a true black pixel is "off" now, and battery might suffer, I haven't played too much with it, but I noticed it.
It is a software issue, but the reason some people see it more often than others, is simply the color of the images and text that they display on their screen more often. OLED will always have "warmer" tones than a standard LCD, you can tweak the software to cool them, but they are noted for VIVID color, not accurate color

Weli i have the latest software there is xxxkh4 but the issue remains
Picked up my Japanese S3 today and looking to root it. I'm reading that using the I9300 is no go since it is a completely different model number. Specs for anyone interested:
Baseband:
SC06DOMLF5
Kernel:
[email protected]
Build:
IMM76D.SC06DOMALF5
If I can provide anything else let me know.
i would like to know the same...wtfusernameistaken is your nfc working...or is the app ic tag reader/writer the same thing?...or is it something i have to turn on through docomo?

The Japanese version doesn't have NFC, only Japan's long-established equivalent.
Anyway, I love the phone, but I can't wait until some of the geniuses on here come up with an easy way to root it.

Negative. Just tried to scan my edy but no joy. My nexus S grabs it fine however. Cannot wait to dump this stupid docomo rom and get a vanilla one on. That or just go back to my Nexus S.
またSC-06DはNFCを搭載していないので、「Android Beam」を拡張したデータ転送機能「S Beam」も利用できない. Yep, no NFC.
SamMobile has a rom out for SC-06D. As soon as the DL finishes gonna give it a go since I tried the I9300 and it just black screens.
i seen that but i was pretty sure that was just the stock rom...which is really helpful if a bad rom is loaded and need to go back to stock...ive downloaded it too and keeping it to the side for emergencies....
The ability to root and throw CyanogenMod 9 on docomo's Galaxy S3 are the two most important factors in whether or not I will buy it in the next couple of months. Can you please keep us updated on your progress, wtfusernameistaken?
Hi all
Just registered to join in on this thread.
This is my first smartphone and was all excited for the s3,
only to be unpleasantly surprised by the docomo palette ui...
I knowledge my noob status, so please be gentle with me.

My honest opinion is that the phone sucks. No NFC, annoying uninstallable apps, battery gets quite warm, camera is meh, Kies is basically iTunes with a different layout. I went back to my nexus S and passed the S3 off to the wife. Tried to get a galaxy nexus but it would seem that it did so bad in Japan that they liquidated their entire stock 3 months ago. Guess I'll just have to wait for the next dev phone.
The rom on sammobile is in fact the stock rom, but good to have in case.
Your first sentence had me dying. Lol I guess that sums it up, though. I guess I'll start preparing to buy a One X, though I think I'm going to attempt to get the AT&T version and have it unlocked, as it seems that model is more liked than the international version. I don't even play Words with Friends, so Tegra 3, Schmegra 3 for all I care.
In my opinion this is a beast of a phone...nfc not there..it maybe just no unlocked..the screen is great..the 2gb is a major factor...the fact it'll be one if few phones to receive the jelly bean update..even the little tv tuner which I'm sure the statewide doesn't have..the massive support for it...the camera is great, even though some might choose a third party app...people are judging the phone after a few days of use...the real beauty and love affair comes after extended use...having all this potential and being a root and or custom Rom away from unleashing it is mouth watering...already my s3 out performs my s2 in every way...and it can only get better...every day I find or notice something about this phone that makes it more and more awesome...give it a chance and don't be so basis guys...

If you lack Japanese skills I would be hesitant to root. Some of the warnings that come up will not be in english. Not to mention that all the development on the root was done by Japanese and the "documentation" will be as well.
This is my first Android device (and my first post )
I found the amount of Samsung and Docomo apps really ridiculous.
I want to get CM9 onto the device, so I can have a completely clean slate with no remnants of all the shovelware. As I'm new, I don't know how yet, but I've found several guides and videos and such for doing it for other devices, even the other versions of the Galaxy S3. Unfortunately I haven't found too much specifically for the Docomo Japan version, so I'm a little hesitant to try anything just yet. Is there anything that makes the Docomo device different from other Galaxy S3's, anything I should look out for?
One thing to note for anyone else who bought it here in Japan at Docomo, by default they automatically sign you up for a ton of their crap, iChannel, BodyMo, etc., and each one costs monthly. They're very easy to forget about. If you go digging through the "my docomo" site, through the customer support stuff, eventually you'll find the options to cancel each of the stuff they signed you up for. They really do make it hard to get to.
Hello
I have seen a few posts asking about this and people always kept insecure about any minimal difference between these models.
Today when I was changing the digitizer of a s5830M I realized that on the motherboard it says "s5830i", so I share this evidence which proves that they are absolutely the same in terms of hardware. Hope this clear most doubts. I attach the pic (sorry for the quality, it was taken with the Galaxy i9003).
S5830i, S5830C and S5830M are the same, only regions are different.
Yup same hardware, means firmware also can be same...
I am not electronic at all, but have a doubt, if the motherboard is the same, what about the chips installed on it? are they the same?

Repairing the lcd on a S5830mgsmh
I recently aquired this phone and i have been trying to replace the lcd. The orignal one lights up but its all cracked it shows and image and all but its all cracked. The new replacements, I have ordered two so far on ebay for bout 10 dollars each says they are for a s5830 but all i see is an lcd backlight turn on but no image. I put back the original and it displays an image.
Hello, why if these M and i versions are the same, I'm facing the issue that I'm trying to install a custom rom for the i version in the M version, and the cwm says it is a "different" version and it aborts the installation process.... What should I do?? Thanks in advance.
I'm looking into buying a new phone, and one I'm looking at is the SIII. What is currently putting me off is this sudden death syndrome.
So my question is, would anyone here still recommend buying the SIII despite the sudden death syndrome problem that at least some are having?
I'll mention other phone if asked, but I'm trying to avoid the recommend the best phone type topic, least here in the SIII forums, I may ask that question elsewhere.
SDS affects incredibly small amount of phones, and Samsung repairs it for free. SGS3 definitely still costs its money, it's a great phone

No BS, I was one of the unlucky bastards that saw his SIII die of unnatural causes. SDS struck during the night. Last time I picked up my phone was at around 4 in the AM, it was fully charged and I was heading for bed. At 7:15 I awoke to the sound of my second alarm clock (yes, I am one of those guys that really needs a backup alarm clock). I hadn't heard my beloved SIII go off at 7. The green "charged" led was on. But the phone wouldn't switch the screen on no matter what button I pressed. So I unplugged it. The led immediately went off and that was the last time that particular SIII ever did anything again. From that point on it was totally dead. Nothing. Abso-freakin'-lutly nothing. Sent it in for repairs although it had a custom ROM (aka warranty probably void). Nevertheless, they sent me a new replacement unit. First 5 minutes inside my house, was rooted again and on it's way to OMEGA ROM bliss.
I am happy with the phone. Sure by now there are better devices. Sure you can get something that does more. But to me, this phone is still fantastic and I love it to bits. Would really still consider it. If I were rich, maybe I'd splurge on something else. But if money matters and I had to make a sensible choice, sure, I'd still consider the SIII a top contender.
I recently buyed a second Galaxy S III for my girlfriend to make it easier to help her with technical support. What i can recomment if you buy it is to buy a Tempered Glass Screen Protector. Mine Galaxy S III has already has a crack in the screen.

I would get that one but I'm outside the US, and rather buy from the UK as that's where I live.
Edit: Had a bit of a look into I9305, and whilst it's available, it's at least £50 more for one, and no real well known that many sellers in the UK for an unlocked one. So less it becomes more widely available and at the same/similar price as a regular one, it's not an option. Anyway thanks for the information.

Thanks for clearing that up. Now I feel bad that I only have 1GB ram and 3g
But the 9305 hardly has any development
Mostly yes!
1. The latest XELLA kernel fixes a major cause for Sudden Death Syndrome.
2. i9300 is still seeing the largest amount of development.
3. The only somehow similar alternatives IMHO are i9305 (but not so much development goes there) or Note2 (if the size is OK for you).

I did think about the Note 2, size wise probably not a problem, but it costs a bit more than I'm willing to pay, the SIII is at the top end, also the note 2 is a bit more of a tablet, and I've already have the note 10.1, and I'm looking for something a little more phone sized, and SIII looks to me the closest one to what I want for the price I'm willing to pay.

I used google, nothing concrete, plausible. Maybe someone did, or has the opportunity and resources to have made such a "transplant" and succeded. And he hadn't a chance to talk about this...
you can if you also replace the antenna
Most important of all, figure out if 9300 and 9305 use same screen, if so, there is chance this might work.
