Not sure what your pointing out with that image, but if your talking about the ghosting .. where the icons are still slightly visable after moving to a flat background colour then its pretty normal...
Image persistence like that after less that five minutes is not normal.
Power saving mode I'm guessing? And you need a better camera -.-"

Balanced; when it does it, I do a cold boot and it's still there. And the camera? For a phone it's way up there.

Its normal on the transformer prime and the transformer ...
You wont even see it when using it normally.
If its bugging you, take it back, but i can assure you its pretty normal as far as i'm concerned.

I dunno, my Transformer never did anything like this.
I think the TFP saw what phone you were using and decided it didn't like you anymore. On a serious note that amount of screen burn isn't normal as mine doesn't do it at all. I know that i had two bright spots on my tab as if an led back light was too close to the screen and I thought I could live with it. 2 months later I sent it in last week for RMA I just couldn't deal with it. Since you just got it I would suggest an exchange at place of purchase before going to the RMA department which is a big PITA as you will see from some other threads.
Oh this certainly exists. If you don't see it, you need your eyes checked. I just ignore it, doesn't effect my experience.
I've only had an issue like this sometimes, but the stuff from the previous screen would go away in a few seconds. I'm not sure why yours is there for 5 minutes
Thanks for your input guys, took it back this morning. Walked out with an Acer A200 which is... tolerable I guess... and cheap.
all IPS panels ghost..
You guys have any issues with this?
Mine does not seem to work no matter how I stare at the screen
Is there something I am missing?
Smart Stay only looks for your face and eyes when the screen is about to time out. If you set the screen timeout to be very low (15s), you'll see the eye icon in the status bar just before it dims your screen. If it detects your face and eyes the screen will stay on, if not, the screen will turn off.
I guess it doesn't know who its master is.
Well I guess it doesn't make sense to keep the front camera on all the time. If you want the phone to 'know you' you can try Face Unlock. It works extremely well.

just woke up and seriously i read your name as silverurinal. hehe
now on topic, on dim situations smart stay doesn't work as good as advertised.
i'm guessing it's not using the light sensors for detection but the front cam.
i have tested it, if i seem to notice smart stay doesn't work well then i open the front camera and see if my face can be seen or it's dimmed, if the face is dimmed then that's the time smart stay doesn't work like it should.
the way smart stay works, is every 5 seconds it activates
if it detects you're still looking at the phone then it won't dim.
if it detects you're not looking at the phone then it will just dim the display not turn it off. then it activates the next 5 seconds and if you are still not looking at the phone then it will turn off the display.
No, smart stay is only active just before the screen off timeout.
You will notice the 'eye' on to the status bar, and only when it is active.

i said it activates every 5 seconds that's very different from active all the time or every second.
i just thought everyone has already noticed it that's why i went straight through and did not bother to detail it out, but since those two who posted after me certainly didn't know then i'll have to explain.
i have set my screen timeout to 15 seconds, smart stay (the eye) activates every 5 seconds to check if you're still facing the phone.
for those who set the screen timeout to 30 seconds, smart stay activates every 25 seconds.
for the rest of the timeouts, you all get the drift.
the reason for that is smart stay isn't only to keep screen on when you are looking at the phone like for example reading webpages etc
BUT ALSO TO TURN OFF THE SCREEN EARLIER THAN THE SCREEN TIMEOUT BECAUSE THERE'S NO USE KEEPING THE SCREEN ON WHEN YOU'RE NOT USING IT ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE WHO LIKE TO SET THEIR SCREEN TIMEOUT TO 1,2 MINUTES OR MORE. SO IT SERVES TWO PURPOSES HENCE THE "SMART" TAGLINE.:victory:

smart stay activates at different intervals depending on what you chose for screen timeout.

do yourself a favor and set your screen timeout to 15 seconds to see if i'm just telling a story or i'm telling it like it is before you post nonsense here.
then go tell yourself a story for your bedtime.

---------- Post added at 06:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:37 AM ----------
here i'll make it simple for ya.
smart stay guide for the lazy dummy.haha :victory:
obviously smart stay has to be on.
1. set screen timeout to 15 seconds.
2. lock the screen.
3. unlock the screen.
4. look at the phone then count 1 to 5 and you'll see the smart stay eye icon.
5. count 1 to 5 again then again you'll see the smart stay eye icon.
6. this time turn away the phone to the side enough that the front cam doesn't see your face but just enough that you can see the eye icon, and count 1 to 5 then again you'll see the eye icon ONLY DIFFERENCE THIS TIME IS THE SCREEN DIMS.
7. with the phone still turned away from your face, count 1 to 5 the eye icon appears THEN THE SCREEN FINALLY TURNS OFF.
now if yours doesn't work like that then maybe you have a FAKE SGS3 and it has DUMB STAY.
:victory:
Settle down mate.
Sorry, don't mean to hurt your feelings, but, nobody cares about your screen timeout settings.....
You should be more specific in your first post, not give an answer applicable to ONLY 1/6 settings! The answer you gave was only useful to those with 15 sec, but you didn't mention that.
For those using ALL other timeouts, the (edit: your) first post is wrong.
The OP was a general question, so the answer is that smart stay activates just before screen timeout. This is applicable to ALL settings.
End of story.

@ radeonxt
The activation of smart stay is relative to all timeout settings.
My tests (approx +/- 1 sec):
15 sec timeout: activation @ 5 sec & dim > again @ 12 sec > off @ 14 sec
30 sec timeout: activation @ 20 sec & dim > again @ 27 sec > off @ 29 sec
1 min timeout: activation @ 50 sec & dim > again @ 57 sec > off @ 59 sec
2 min timeout: activation @ 1:50 min & dim > again @ 1:57 min > off @ 1:59 min
Without me going any further, I hope you can see the pattern staring you in the face.
It's nothing about counting up to 15 secs etc, but smart stay activating just before timeout, whatever that may be.....
In all cases: activation at approx 10 & 2/3 secs before screen off. Not "at different intervals", you're just looking at the "glass half empty" not the "glass half full".
Also, it does not "turn the screen off earlier", but (as the results prove) always the same time before timeout, that is if the device hasn't been touched or smart screen doesn't detect the eyes.
There is no win here or (trying to) being smug, unlike your ": victory:" in your posts.
Keep it cool and factual. Cheers

Well, interesting argument, but whether this feature is turned on or off, I'm not seeing the eye icon ever appear, and my screen is just switching off after the set time. And yes, I'm in good light, looking straight at the front camera.

If your front camera works and you have enabled it (edit: smart stay) in settings >> software issue.
Two things to try:
1. Backup and factory reset
2. Upgrade your firmware to the latest version with Odin

Smart Stay has not worked on mine since the day I got it. Today for another unrelated problem I turned my phone off and pulled the battery out (this is the first time I've pulled the battery out since owning the phone) and put it all back together and magically Smart Stay is working for me now.

I'm sooo close to caving in and replacing my GS2 for a 3, one of my very few pet peeves with the SG2 is how slow it wakes..
Seeing a lot of you guys came from GS2s I figured who best could answer my question of does the GS3 snap to life faster then your old GS2?
Also as long a you're answering what is the feature that most impressed you coming from the GS2? TIA.

Honestly, I find it does wake quicker than my i9100 did. Hopefully more will confirm as it may be subjective, but it tends to wake in under a second when hitting power button on mine anyway where my SGS2 was like 2 or 3 seconds when waking.
For me, you can really tell the higher resolution screen which was a plus for me. The LED light is incredible useful (no more waking phone to see if I have any messages). And the third was definitely LTE which is so much faster in my area than HSPA which seems to be really congested. Those three things made it worth the upgrade alone. All in all, maybe not a HUGE upgrade but a decent enough upgrade for myself

Yes, it actually not your eyes it's detecting, but face. Love this feature, very useful when reading something or playing puzzle games.
The way it's working, it turns front camera on a few seconds before it dims the screen, if it detect a face, nothing happens, if no face near, it dims the screen for 5 seconds, then it checks again for a face, if found it, it turns up the brightness and resets screen timeout, otherwise shuts it off.
Wakeup time has a slight lag, but it's not annoying. However if you are using something like SetCPU and set profile to turn down CPU clock to lowest possible when screen is off, then it might not response to touches after wakeup for a few seconds.

The back of my 920 was making some squeaky sounds so I exchanged for a new one. Everything's great except the screen seems to light up much slower when I pressed the power/unlock button. It takes about 2 seconds after pressing the key until the screen lights up. I don't have another 920 for comparison, but my 720 lights up almost immediately after unlocking.
Could someone with a 920 in hand check how long it takes for the screen to light up after unlocking? Should I have this one exchanged as well? Thanks!

Try switching from auto brightness to full brightness and see if it still does it. Sounds like there may be dust or something in front of the sensor so it takes longer for the phone to realize the light level.

That must be it! When I set the brightness level to manual, it lights up immediately, and the delay is back when I set the brightness to automatic.
Is it something I can clean myself or should I just exchange for a new one? (just got it yesterday).
Mine is on auto bright and it lights right up

It is probably the infamous dust in the front camera issue earlier models had. If you are comfortable at taking it apart you can clean it yourself. Otherwise I would get it exchanged.:good:
I dunno if it's caused by dust near the proximity/AL sensors. I used some compressed air and made no difference. Also I remember reading somewhere Nokia already fixed the issue on newer 920s.
Ended up getting a replacement. Thanks for everyone who helped!
I got mine about a week ago. It takes a little under a second to light up after pressing the button. This is on autobrightness.(will try manual later when I have time) Does that classify as "instant" ?
On manual its slightly faster, enough to notice the difference, but still not 100% instant. but my guess is I can classify it as instant anyway.
What I found out is that the timing of the two knocks is less important, what is more important is to keep the finger on the screen after the second knock. After the second knock just keep it on the screen until you see the LED lights up, and you'll see how more efficient it will become.

I noticed most of the time when Knock On fails for me is because the phone isn't on a solid flat surface for example while I'm holding it in my hand or while it's on my bed.
This makes me think the accelermeter is used for this feature. So if you have too much "suspension", it won't trigger.
Just my thoughts!
Edit: I just tested with incredibly light touches and it still worked so perhaps it isn't accelerometer enabled. =S

Great tip
Exactly what i was looking for although still a bit slow compared with what i had with my Nexus 4 and the touch control app. But at least I just do Knock knock once.
That really does work everytime.
Nice tip. I have been playing around with suggestions that I have seen elsewhere but yours seems to be the most consistent (I've done it 25+ times now in a row with your technique). I've even tried changing the rate at which I do the knocks (fast versus slow) and have also tapped on different parts of the screen. It seems like the key is leaving your finger on the screen on the second knock.
Previously some things that I read to increase the success rate were (each with mixed results):
- Always tap on the top of the phone (where the notification bar would be)
- Always tap three times instead of two
- Tap once and then pause slightly and then tap twice
On a side note, does anyone know how this feature works exactly? Is it simply the digitizer detecting the taps on the screen or is there something else going on?
I tried tapping on the back of the phone. This didn't work so the at least use the touchscreen for the knock knock feature.

Ya, after doing some more testing, it must be the touchscreen. The reason I thought it may have been something else is I have gotten it to work by tapping in the top right corner of the phone (presumably not on the screen) but that's probably b/c the bezel is so small. I haven't been able to get it to work along the bottom of the phone (over the LG logo).

Knock On feature to turn screen on doesn't work if proximity sensor is covered (try to cover it and tap the screen - it will stay off). Also phone needs a short while to detect the sensor is not covered anymore. So if you pull out your phone out of a pocket and immediately try to turn screen on it simply won't work at first try. Second usually does the job. I've never really had a problem with unlocking the phone while it's on the table or something, when the sensor isn't (or wasn't two seconds ago) covered by anything.
So the reason of our problem is slow response from proximity sensor, it's super fast to detect the sensor is covered, but a lot slower to detect it's uncovered. (You can test it during the phone call - you'll see what I mean).
The solution is just wait a second after you pull out your phone from pocket or after you holding it the way it covers or is near the proximity sensor. I don't think guys triple knocking or keeping your finger on the screen is really helpful. ?
Maybe it can be fixed somehow by our devs, make the proximity sensor reacts quicker.

Probably does that so it won't come on by "knocking" in your pocket. Not a big deal for me at all. And the OP's method is working 100% of the time fur me. No need for 3 knocks any more.
I'd like to confirm what don't others have said and say that the most common mistake is tapping too fast.
Correct that the knock on only uses the sensor to avoid turning the screen on in your pocket.
However, if the touch screen constantly listens for these knocks while it is turned off, shouldn't that consume at least a considerable amount of battery?

sorry for this really really dumbass question but when u say "After the second knock just keep it on the screen until you see the LED lights up"
i infer 1 knock (tap and lift finger) and then 2nd one is not actually a knock (tap and lift finger) but just tap and keep ur finger there itself
or
is it 2 knocks and then (after second lift of finger) jst touch the screen again
good i really feel like dumbest dumb on this planet asking this question but please do reply
i dont yet have g2 but planning on buying it so i cant confirm myself what u meant
