Does me no good, Voodoo works only at 100% brightness...

Mine is like that too. Slight blueish tint compared to my wife's Evo.

I saw a thread about this about a month ago or so... from the sounds of it not all epics were like this. I never noticed it on mine but again, a lot of others have.

Before the Epic came out, I looked at the Tmobile Galaxy S phone and was mortified at the bluish tint of its screen. A portion of a web page which was supposed to appear white would appear very very pale baby blue. It was definitely noticeable. If you are experiencing that on your Epic. . . . sorry. My Epic does not have that problem.

Aria with yellow screen...

My wife and myself got two arias about a week ago, and her screen is noticeably yellow in tint. Or mine is very white. Bit the point is that they do not have the screen.
Have any of you seen or heard of this? Were taking hers back tomorrow. I know there is a thread about this in the diamond forums. This was an issue for those phones a while back.

I did notice a difference when I have the brightness set at medium and when it is set to high. Kind of an eggwhite color?

If there is noticeable yellowing on the screen, take it back to AT&T for a new one .... this is typically a sign of a loose connection or bad screen.

Screen just washed out on epic-help?

Hey guys. I don't know what just happened to my phone, but the screen color just washed out. Everything is in a strange yellow hue and there is a permanent black line on the bottom of the screen above where the launcher sits, even if I'm not on my home screen. Is my epic busted?

most likely you are having a hardware problem. Warranty claim might be in order unless you have TEP.
Yeah bro just take it into sprint. It shouldnt cost u anything as it sounds like a hardware defect. Good luck man.

Screen not as "Vibrant" as it used to be...

When I compare my GF's Epic's screen to my year plus old Vibrant, her screen definitely looks brighter and the colors just pop a little more. Both have the same settings. It's the same screen. The only difference is the amount of hours that the screen has been on. Do these screens just wear out over time?
It all depends on voodoo color can make it look better an if your on CM Gama really affects it a lot and yea I could just be your screen is dying do to it being oled

Green kinda hue on the screen

Has anyone noticed a green hue on the screen, its only just noticable.
I've got my note set on maximum brightness and i only notice it on some apps that i'm using.
Take using the XDA app. When scrolling thought the threads and forums i notice that the screen takes on a slight green hue when i stop scrolling and the when i start scrolling again the screen turns white again.
Is this a known issue or could it be just my note? Can anyone else test this and get back to me with your results and opinion please.

I do have exactly the same feeling on XDA forum pages when scrolling, and more generally a green tint... Slight but there... (And I had two Notes so far. The first one exchanged because of grey shades on the screen and the second one slightly greener than the first one). An I'm sure there isn't two screens alike...
I also noticed a big red splodge when using my camera. It was in low light n i pointed it a white wall. Check it out n get back.
Does anyone think there will be a fix for all these niggles?

I have had my note for a week. Try this: lower your brightness setting to a little less than halfway. Then open up a browser page that's all white. Now tilt the screen to the side in either direction, you will see the whites become green. Let me know your observation.

It does a little but that doesnt bother me too much. Its more the scrolling i was on about in some apps, mainly noticed it in the xda app. Doesnt matter which brightness setting i have it on, i still notice it in the xda app

Duno myn just went the more I used it
it's a software problem.
i've noticed the same thing happening to me, whites becoming green in hue while browsing. this issue is especially pronounced when browsing xda using the xda app, and so to determine if it was a hardware or a software issue, i screen capped instances of the screen being normal and being greenish.
result is the greenish hue was still present even in the screen capture. pics below are the actual screenshots and a comparison with raised saturation to better show the difference.

ok, i just tried it on mines, and yes its apparent. its like when you scroll, it becomes beige but as soon as you stop, the background becomes green. i would personally keep it because i think everyone has this. also, the next device might be worse. like on mines, at first i was annoyed about the white becoming greenish when tilting the device, but based on other folks reposes, it seems that everyone's does it, so i have decided to keep mines.

I got a big GREEN splodge when pointing to a white background. This is not a screen problem, it's a camera problem. You not notice only in the screen but also in the actual picture if you take it.
Found somewhere an explanation of this problem that is general to all kind of cameras that have the sensor to near the optics.
I think Samsumg has tried to solve the PINK problem by software, just trying to apply an opposite filter to the PINK, and that's why I getting GREEN

Ive got the exact same observation... But its not that bothersome. Im thinking its in the software as its obviously not a "capability" thing. I get great whites, etc.
Im just happy with no dead pixels and damn this device is nice!

I have noticed tyr exact same Thing. When i tilt the note (not by much) the screen gets a green color. Guess that should disapear.
Also when i scool there is a slight color change.

Yellow Tint

So on low brightness the whites seem a bit yellow. Can anyone confirm this?

Its a common problem, at 0% brightness white is a tad yellow but still its much better than having blue/green or pink tint.I've tested lots of S3's in various stores all shows same phenomenon so getting your set swapped wont solve any purpose.

Well even at high brightness settings it looks a bit yellow. When I tilt the phone it looks more white and when I tilt it back you can clearly see the white is a bit yellow.

Yes its a "Bit" yellow on low brightness but on high brightness mine is pure white, its common with AMOLED they are unable to attain LCD whites.However this doesn't bother me much because I'm used to it now, keep in mind its not an tint screen is tuned bit warmer.
Ahh so it isn't just me

You bet!
Well.. It even seems to be a pretty pink compared to the GS Plus. Both at full brightness.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
I think it's configured this way because blue pixels expire the quickest in amoled screens </not expert opinion>.
In either case, past phones have been able to use color controls like supercurio's app to change the tint. (And, by then you might've gotten used to it anyway.)

Sorry couldn't resist lol. My Spell Wrecker does that too.
Does it matter which screen setting you have enabled in the Settings app or is it on all of them?

I just checked it against my Note and mine is pinkish. It isn't distinguishable when not doing the comparison though.
Sent from my GT-I9300
Stop comparing displays and enjoy your S3.
I didn't notice it before the comparison and I don't notice it now. Only during. It is a non issue for me
This phone is great. No complaints here.
