The order was placed on the 25th. It made the pick-up and has a delivery date 6/29. UPS usually doesn't hit my area till 3pm (Pacific), so I'll update you guys when I get it.
Received EVO today from sprint.com. The hardware version is still 0003, screen is flush. Do not know if it had the grounding issue because it downloaded the update upon turning it on. I did notice in the menu there is an HDMI setting to set video output to Automatic, 720p, or 480p. I did not notice this before but it may have already been there.

Epson or Novatek?
I just got my replacement EVO today. I can confirm they have done some good work on the screen. My old EVO had light leaks at the bottom and the screen sat maybe a mm higher than the bezel. The screen on this new EVO sits about a mm below the bezel and there are no light leaks to be seen. The volume button isn't perfect on this one though. It's "wobbly" for lack of a better word. I'll deal with it though.

Did you have the option to cancel the update? I don't want my Evo to download the OTA when I turn it on for the first time.
Just got my EVO this afternoon as well... back-ordered with Radio Shack since 06/08/10
W00T!
Phone is slick as they come - no light leaking anywhere. Hardware version 0003
Now I'm off to see what I can do to it...
What screens are these new phones?
To find the screen hit the brightness button on the power widget. If the screen fades between transition you have a novatec. If the screen transitions instantaneous, you have an epson.

Acually yes, but I was thinking it was the update for the sd card, because I new they other was pulled, but it turned out not to be so.

Second Xoom I've physically seen experiencing this problem- the touchscreen is responding to touch events that aren't happening.
As you can see, this Xoom is still in the plastic wrap it came in, just exchanged my last one for it (the last one had a dead/lazy pixel)
Has anyone else experienced this? Is it maybe a software bug or a hardware problem?
Seems to happen at random, but this happened shortly after unlocking the thing from a night spent unplugged on my nightstand.
I might also need to add that this is rooted and overclocked to 1.5 GHz, but the last one wasn't and it experienced the same thing.
Does this happen with the plastic wrap off?

It did with the other one, but I'm waiting to take the plastic wrap off on this one until I get a protector. It cuts down on the glare and fingerprints noticeably.

Whats the weather like where youre at? Any chance that the device got wet (taking it out of the box, parking lot, etc)?
Has it been seen outside of your house?
Has the been seen both indoors and outside?
Do you have humidifiers running?
i did have this problem with my xoom the first day i got it.
Mine wasn't a big issue, it was in the gallery app. Looking at pictures off my camera, i was trying to swipe to the next picture, and it kept zooming like i had pinched it. It probably did this for about 3 minutes, somewhat amusing me/ somewhat scaring me.
But i just turned my device off and then back on and since then i've had no issue. its been about 2 days since then, and i've used my Xoom probably 40 hrs of the 48.

I've only used this one indoors, and there's no chance its gotten wet. It is actually about 70 degrees here (really unusual for this time of year), not sure about humidity.. though it is about to rain.

Im wondering if there's an evironmental factor here. The fact that you've personnaly seen this twice, on 2 different xooms really fights against the probability matrix of defective devices.
Does it only happen when you hold it, or shortly after?
Did you get them at the same store? (i.e. potentially part of the same shipment, potentially same production batch... long shot, but still)

I laughed!
I had this problem until I removed the plastic from the screen.
Never had this problem.. works real good for me so far.
it just mine but motion isn't working. i'm ready to exchange if thats the case. my guinea pig phone*
Just double checking that you actually have it turned on??
I have the International version, but they should be the same. Green check mark in box to turn on. Green sliders on options means on. Gray off. Pretty self explanatory. Again, just double checking.

ofc they are all turned on- that's why i'm posting this thread. anyways i'm waiting on someone who has the att version to try it out
Nice first defective ATT S3 worst part is theres no where u can take it in to get it exchanged for at least a few days =/
I have the AT&T version as of about 5 hours ago and although I have not tested all the motion controls, the ones I have all work. Tap top, moving icons on homescreens, tilt to unlock, tilt to zoom are all ones I know are working for sure. I will let you know if I find any that are not.
edit: I just tested pan images and it works too.
Try restarting? See if that might work.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
i did restart several. pan does work strangely (holding icon to place on a home screen), but screen capture, tapping top, and prolly a bunch of others i didn't try dont work. no problem i'll just play with this till they get new ones. 30 days is fine
Did you try recalibrating it? That's a really important and potentially easy fix. Sorry if you said you did; I'm tired and didn't read carefully.
yes turning on motion, calibrating, etc were all the things i first did before posting this thread. i just want to mainly see if mine is defective or if its a universal thing
How about a factory reset? I think it's always a good idea to factory reset out of the box before getting the phone setup for daily use.

My S3 seems to be doing ok, I calibrated it on a perfectly level surface, and has been fine since.

You actually have to touch the screen with the side of you hand and sweep it across. You can't just sweep it without touching.

Hi all,
Recently purchased an International S3 on a Vodafone UK contract.
I was surfing the internet last night and noticed a rather odd mark had appeared on the screen.
Think I might have to send it back as the mark will not disappear and is very noticable on a white background.
It also shows up on all the Red, Green and Blue screen tests in the service menu.
What do you think? The mark is on the bottom left edge!

Hi guys,
Sent this back to Samsung today. Got to be without the phone for a good 15 days sigh!
The company I got the phone with only offer 7 day return policy Great!!
Will be interesting to see if I get the same device back or if they replace it.
Paul
Its not as bad as it looks likes on the Pic.
The photo was taken with an iPhone 4 and the camera of the iPhone 4 has a lens which makes the center of the pic blueish.
Your screen looks a bit purple but every SAMSUNG GALAXY SIII has this.
I see no reason to return your phone.
But does anyone have an idea what that is? It doesn't look like screen burn...what could cause that?

Aerys, Are you not seeing the same mark as I am?
I have no issue with the overall colour of the screen. However, I do have a problem with the horrible piss stained mark that has appeared on the bottom left of the screen!!
Excellent!! Got my phone back today after 8 days without it.
Samsung have apparently repaired it, however I cannot check because they did not send my battery back with the phone!
Nice one Samsung, very proffesional!
To top it off they said a new battery will be sent and should be there on mon/tue next week.
Great! Another week without my phone.
Knew I should of got the iPhone...
I've had my phone a little over a month now and I've never experienced that. I also heard that the led fatigue issue wasn't so dangerous on the S3 as it was on the Galaxy Nexus and previous sAMOLED screen devices.
i had some similiar screen problems so i changed my s3 three times and all of them had the same problem with the screen so i got my money back and now i am wating on the Note 2
Woaa.. u should go to the store and claim warranty

I had similar lines on boot up once happened once though.
Screen banding. Possibly could be fixed in certain ROMs, but definitely an issue you should get it replaced for.
Had this first time today ....if it won't happen again not an issue ... My galaxy nexus when battery was dying screen was going off like an EMP just hit it ... Not worried yet ...

Well yeah, if you're going to be a **** about it no one is going to go to your thread.
And I wouldn't exactly link dead pixels and this banding together.
I have this same issue on my N4....not as bad as yours but under certain conditions vertical banding is observable (generally when at 100% brightness). Having it replaced this week.
I don't think that is banding. Banding is whole a other thing. Very common on Panasonic plasmas and some LCD TV's. Those seem to be GPU going whack lines. Or possibly some bad interference and it showing up as that. But if I had to put money on it I would guess broker or going bad adreno 320's.

Just noticed something like this on my screen. It's very (very) faint and only shows up against gray backgrounds but the pattern is pretty similar. If it gets worse I'm going to contact Google.

I'll be contacting google soon, only have my phone on me and I'm on Tmobile's web exclusive plan so only have 100 minutes to talk and I'm not spending them on a 30 min hold. I'll update everyone on the situation.
I had something similar. I turned on the phone and it was just a black screen, and those lines started showing up. Turned the phone off/on and it hasn't done it since. But now I got red pixels that show up by the notification and navigation bars. They disappear once I touch the screen. It doesn't happen allot so I'm not sure if I want to return it
Replacement is being shipped, should take 3-5 days from what I was told.
I had this same issue last week. Except my left top corner was really bright. It persisted after reboot. Hasn't happened since.
same problem here but with blurred display
I too had the same problem with my nexus 4 but i dropped it from a foot height.The display suddenly got blurred and these vertical lines started to appear.can anyone tell me Whether LG accepts this under warranty or I have to pay for it?
I went to go look at nook hd+ this last weekend and i notice that on all the demo units, the lcd light was dimmer running down the right side of the screen @ max brightness.
Heres an example:

Do they all do this?
XDA was having trouble yesterday, do ended up double posting. Ignore this one.
No, Those must be old units. Early on users were complaining about that, but got them replaced under warranty. If you buy one, be sure to have them turn it on to check it.
Is the dark strip on the right side that pronounced? I thought I noticed a slight dimming on the right side of my unit but attributed it to the ips technology. Any way to identify for certain?
My newly-purchased Nook has the dark area at the right edge. It's probably not bad enough for me to ship it back for an exchange, but it's noticeable.

I too see something similar with my recently purchased Nook HD+, but noway near as wide as the image in the first post, probably just a cm - are the rest of the recent post seeing something as wide as the first post?
I 'm having the same problem but it's much less pronounced - it's barely noticeable in most cases. Not worth messing with replacements.
I checked mine and it doesn't have any. Mine is shipped directly from B&N though. It might have been made more recently than those in retail stores.
I have a Nook HD+/HDplus which shipped with BN 2.0.3 Stock ROM, and that does not have any of these issues. It is an earlier build though.
Perhaps this fault occurs with early devices, and those which are being manufactured now? I'd simply go for a warranty. I know it's a hassle, but it's better to do it now, whilst you still have the warranty option available. You never know, it could get worse and eventually affect the whole screen. To mix matters up more, this could occur when you're outside your warranty.
I'd do a backup of your current setup, whichever way you prefer, be it CWM backup/TitaniumBackup (as long as you get everything backed up); then get a warranty replacement. After that, you should have no worries; and can be comfortable that there will be no further hardware issues with the screen.
All the best guys/girls!
I went to a B&N store today and both display models showed darkening at the right edge, so I'm not going to replace mine--there's no reason to believe a replacement would be better.
For people who don't seem to have the issue, what is your screen brightness setting? The dimming at the right edge is more noticeable when it's under 50%.

every hd+ i've looked at has the uneven lighting. i'd suspect that all have it since it looks like the light source is only on one side, unless newer ones have lighting on multiple edges like most larger tablets.
i'm usually using mine from 0-15% and don't notice it as bad when i go brighter except when on light colored backgrounds.

I tried both high and low brightness settings but could not see any issue. I also launched a game (dungeon hunter 4) and the display brightness is very on par with what I saw on nexus 7.
I don't see this on mine (shipped last week from BN.com).
