Wondering if you guys have this as well? When the phone is on the lowest brightness setting, my whites are a little warm. I don't notice it on medium or high--the whites are brilliant on those settings.
It's not really a big deal to me, but is this normal? Can anyone comment?
No one?

Well, to bounce back at you this means it's really rare (80 people haven't seen this). For sure on my AT&T and my wife's Rogers we haven't seen any like this nor on other amoleds. There were people saying their buttons were greenish but not what you're describing.

Thanks for the reply. Think I'm sending it back.
No problem here too. Low brightness with auto adjust switched off.
Hi everyone. After GS1, GS2 I've bought GS3.
Really disappointed for the viewing angles (on whites/grays), the worst I've aver found in amoled/ips lcd recently.
As I tilt the screen 15-20 degrees (normal use movement exspecially when you write/use it with one hand) during mail, web, whatsapp all the whites begin to show a sort of polarized/light blue reflection that seems to be caused by Gorilla Glass/amoled interaction. Very very annoying and tiring for my eyes, and of course not beautiful to see on a 600€ 4,8" display.
On Italian forums I have to say 90% of users experienced this, but maybe in my GS3 this effect is more prominent, difficult to say, I cannot compare by now.
I'd like to have feedbacks from you, don't know if return it and buy a new one.
Cheers.
Im swapping mine in store for the same reason.

Hi.
Is the new one replaced better?
I never understood why viewing angles were a problem. You're using your phone wrong if you need to view it at a 20 degree plus angle.

Never had viewing angle issues with past phones. Never.
With this GS3 simply cannot move it, or I have a blu reflection.
Just want to know if it's just mine.
It's the same with all amoleds ...but I don't think it affects the usage that much and it's only noticeable on plain white backgrounds ...
Haven't been to swap it yet. Im going tomorrow i'll let you know. Been having call issues were it sounds like I've gone under water about 1 min into some calls.
My mate works in a phone shop and said he swapped 3 sgs 3 for call issues today alone

I have exactly the same thing on the lower part of the screen. The grey's temperature is "colder" than the rest of the screen. If you test the screen with "*#0*#" with the three diff colours is fine, the "issue" is only with white and grey background.

I see but the thing is i had sgs1, two sgs 2 ( white and black), two galaxy nexus (white and black), all of them had a blue tint when viewed at an angle .... Though I also know many have said that they don't have tint but I never got any galaxy without tint just my luck I suppose... Htc one x slcd2 doesnt have that issue but battery life is too poor on it that's why got sgs3...sgs3 is superb in every way..

This sound quality issue sounds very much like a problem described in other threads.
Perhaps you have already seen this, but if not, be aware that the problem has been solved by the majority of people simply by switching OFF the "noise reduction" feature under "Call Settings" (it's set ON be default)
Thanks for the reply but I had seen the other threads and switched off noise cancellation but still suffered from the "underwater" problem
Thanks

Sorry for the delay
Sorry for the delay in replying to this thread. I have just got back from the Carphone Warehouse where I checked four different Pebble Blue S3's...guess what.....They all had a Purple tint to them.
When They where first booted up they looked "OK" but when I turned the brightness all the way up and open a white webpage like google you could see a purple hue/tint to the screen but it looked fine when you look at it straight on,
I only have another 4 day before I can exchange mine for a new phone, seriously considering getting a HOX instead at this point. Or failing that sitting in a Samsung Service centre until I find one that doesn't have this awful tint.
I'll keep posting on this thread if I manage to find ones without the tint but I've got a feeling that the CPW UK has got a bad batch in at the moment.
My screen seems okay in regards to tint overall but the top 20% of the screen or so is bluer othan the rest and it gets gradually worse as you get to the top edge. At first it didn't bother me so much but now it's starting to get annoying =(
Hi!
Just got my replacement Nexus 7 but noticed that it has some backlight bleed. Should I return it or is this Normal? See picture
Skickat från min ST18i via Tapatalk 2
I have it on my display, for me isn't a big problem, but If it is for you just change it.
Thx for the reply loscamos! Do you have same amount of bleeding?
To all:
Do you consider bleeding on picture to be minor? The picture shows the tablet in a dark room with 100% brightness just to show the bleeding. I can see it on dark picture on normal brightness aswell but its not as noticeable as on picture.
I have the tiniest bit of bleed which is hardly noticeable but I have to admit that's more than I would call acceptable. Especially if you can see it sometimes whilst using apps.

Not as much as on the picture but yes I notice it a little bit under normal use. I noticed it when I started the tablet under Google logo thats why I decided to download a backlight bleed test app and see how much It was. It is hard not to notice it because I know that it is there. If it is normal I can accept it but if there are tablets without it Im thinking: why should I accept it?
Here is the same picture taken with the normal brightness I use. Maybe Im just to picky??? Looks alot better.

That's not too bad, I'd say that mine was just about the same. The only reason my bleed doesn't bother me is because I never see it unless I'm booting up.
I returned the one in the picture. It was my second return (the first one had 5 defective pixels), so the retail chain I bought it from refused to exchange it for another and gave my money back (if you're from Romania, I'm talking about Altex, a bunch of unprofessionals, they think that the retail buisiness is all profit, no responsibilities/losses/putting costumer satisfaction in front of apparent financial gain). It looks worse than yours, but my first one, the one that had the defective pixels looked better than both yours and my second one from that point of view (the first one had some light bleed, but distributed over a larger area).

Yeah that one on the picture is much worse. Im swedish and the company I bought mine from has been extremly understanding and helpful. Have had a fair share of "bad luck" with the Nexus 7. But Im leaning towards keeping this one, as I recall it all my Nexus tablets have had some degree of backlight bleeding. Maybe the ones without it are rare????
Those pics are bad, return it. I had one with less lightbleed than that, but it still bothered me so I returned it, and am so glad I did

So I have been reading around a lot about amoled burn-in now in the past in had crazy problems with amoled screen i.e pink hue. Now I'm in absolute love with my new gs4 and want it to last a long time but I'm afraid I might get that dreadful burn-in. Anyone else worried??

Not at all. I purchased the S1 on launch. It went to my wife and now my daughter has it. Still going with no problems. I bought the S2 at launch. Passed it down to my other daughter. Still going with no problems. I still have my work S3 which has no problems. And I preordered the S4 and love it. So you could call me a fanboy of Samsung but you would be wrong. I have owned all types and manufacturers. Including iPhone LOL. For me personally, Samsung has been the best phone around and I have not had any issues with them.
Ummmm I mean yes I am scared to death and I think you should dump the S4 right away. I would sacrifice and take it off your hands for $100
Lol:what: only a 100. Nah I love this phone just wanted to get others opinions

Just like crawrj, I've had the s1, s2, and Gnex. All had amoled screens, all were just great when it came to the screen. Never had any burn in issues here as well.

I have burn in on my GNexus and my epic touch. It's not too visible but I notice it every now an then. On the epic touch it is on the notification bar area when I go into gallery to view a full size image on white images I can notice the top area is darkend. I think this is due to how I use my device. I have the screen on for a good 6-7 hours a day at work listening to YouTube.
I had burn in with my s2 with the amoled+ screen. Something else failed on the phone and the refurb didn't have burn in already. I had burn in of the notification area and keyboard letters.
I have my s2 and there is a very slight burn with a line for the bottom row of icons on the home screen. But you can only see it on a very cold day and when the screen is 100% white. On a regular temperature day it is not noticeable at all.
I've had several of Samsung's phones all with amoled screens and I've never had any problems with them. I haven't even heard of that happening, which doesn't mean it's impossible, but it's probably fairly unlikely that you will have that issue on the S4.
I had the OG Epic, E4GT, S2, S3, and got the S4 on the launch date early morning (first phone I ever got at launch haha) and I have never had any problems!

My gnex had burn in issues but you could only really tell when the brightness was less than 50%.
This week I'm sending my Nexus S out to pasture. I am the 2nd over and I bought it with the burn-in. It's hard to tell from the picture but it looks like ginger bread and beautiful widgets are to blame. That's what brought me here. Can I expect more of the same? I realize my device is very old in Android years and hopefully the screens are better.
It probably will eventually get burn in. Long screen on times while using the phone without the screen changing much is culprit. A repair center I was at said they would get you a replacement if you had tep.
I have to think this can/will happen depending on the usage. If you have your screen to never time out and it is left on for most the day on 100% brightness or maybe if you are using the device as your alarm clock every night and the screen is kept bright. Have never done any of these things but would like to hear from someone that has used a similar device every night as an alarm clock.

Yup I think it depends on your usage model.& many will never see burn-in on the screen. But a major use of my phone is for navigation in the car. The screen is on for maybe hours at a time and, in summer, gets hot and on full brightness. Google Navigation has display elements on the screen that are essentially static. So I decided AMOLED was a bit of a poor choice, and went for a LCD phone. YMMV.
Shame, I would have maybe considered an S4 if it had an LCD.

To all those saying "impossible", "using it for year and year with no burn-in" etc, here, my 2 cents. The attached pictures is a burn-in on my SGS3, i took a pic with the screen displaying an all gray test pattern, on low brightness. I did post-process the pic to make it more visible, so in reality it doesn't look that bad, but it is definitely there and is definitely bad enough to notice on most relatively evenly-colored, yet bright enough, apps. I've noticed it first while browsing the Google Play market
BTW, the burn-in source is very obvious, it's the Waze navigation app elements, the one in the middle is ETA. Not too surprising, considering the fact the screen runs at max brightness and is really hot during navigation, true most of the year here.
PS: The device is a bit under 1 year old
Bought 2x LG G2, one T-Mobile, one AT&T, different panel color temperature/brightness
I bought 2 LG G2's over the past 2 days. The first one was an AT&T certified refurb D800, the second one was a "new but without box" (factory film still attached) T-Mobile D801. They were purchased from two different cell phone shops.
I inspected each phone carefully in store at the time of purchase. Both phones were in flawless conditions. Not a single scratch anywhere.
However, upon returning home with the second phone, and placing them side to side for comparison, I noticed that the two phones' panel look significantly different. To eliminate the brightness slider differences, I put both at 100% brightness. Made sure all power saver related features were disabled. The AT&T (D800) version looks cooler (blue) and brighter, while the T-Mobile (D800) looks warmer and dimmer. I then tried adjusting the brightness sliders on each phone, trying to see if it can match the other at any given level, the result was negative. Those were two different-looking panels, period.
So I'm confused at this point. Could it be that one of these phones had its panel replaced by a non-OEM part? I assume the only way to tell would be to find yet a 3rd, real brand new phone from an official store for comparison?
Your advice would be greatly appreciated.
You could always go to an official at&t or t-mobile store check to see if they have it on display and compare or ask if you can view one, anyways I have the at&t one and I can agree that it is really bright, I have also already broken the screen and replaced it myself and did not notice any differences compared to original

Both phones are running the their stock JB rom. Haven't got to rooting/flashing yet. Can the AT&T and T-Mobile ROMs have different color temperature settings?
Well like I said I own the at&t variant so wouldn't really know I have not played with the T-Mobile one in person

Some time ago I bought 2 SGS+ from same shop/carrier. Both have similar s/n. Both have diffrent panel colors - same as you wrote, one is cooler (blueish) and other is warmer (dimmer). its normal, you dont have 100% that panels will be the same I had to decide which version is mine and which my wife and from then I didn't put them side-to-side and didnt saw difference
Thanks. That makes me feel better. But isn't the screen a major part of a phone that defines its characteristics/specs? I mean we see reviews about a phone's screen color etc all day, if it can vary this much phone to phone, makes me wonder what's the point of those reviews.
By the way, is there really such a thing as bad quality/fake/cheap replacement panels for a phone like the G2?
Sent from my One X using Tapatalk
it's called panel lottery and all devices with the main component being screen suffer from it, especially tablets. too many things factor in this from quality control to bad factory calibration but the point is, exchange until you're fully satisfied with how the screen looks to you. my t-mo d801 has absolutely perfect whites and brightness, with a perfectly even screen.
Sent from my LG-D801 using Tapatalk
I have the AT&T G2 and the screen is bright and does have a blue tint. I did not notice this until I bought a Nexus 5 and had them side by side. For me I prefer the bright but cool LG panel over the warmer but dimmer N5 panel. After playing for with the N5 for a week I returned it
