Faulty screen pebble blue s3

I have purchased the samsung s3 in pebble blue and it has gaps around the screen in random places. Is this normal as chitter chatter are saying samsung phones come like this. Although my partners white s3 has no gap issues at all!!!!!

i have a white one with no issue. but i got something people can try. turn the lights out, and view a black screen/page of something and sorta manipulate the light from the buttons in the palm of your hand so as to use it as a flashlight (because a flashlight and blacklight wont work), i found some weird looking defect or hieroglyph in the middle left side. but it doesnt affect anything only i will ever know its there. kinda weird.. looks like a crudely drawn number 4 wrote with a stylus permanently embedded in the polarizing film

Is it that whitish color because dirt go in there? Or did it actually look like that when you got it?
I feel like I have a slight on the bottom of mine now...

I got gaps everywhere :/ Might see if VZW will exchange it then.

Mine, Pebble Blue, no gap :good:

Blue, small gap at the bottom. Doesn't bother me that much.

Proud owner of a Galaxy Note 2:)

This is my first post on XDA and what a way to start, just bought a Galaxy Note 2 N7100 White today(although I would've loved the grey one but got a good price on this so yeh). Got to say, so far I love the phone and apart from the size, I have no gripes with it. I'm thinking that if I am struggling a little bit right now and it is without a cover, how would it be with a cover on? I guess I'll use it for a few days and see. Galaxy S3 feels tiny in the hand now lol(never thought I'd say that). I have a couple of questions and would be glad if someone could answer them.
Does anyone know how to make one app full screen when using the multiwindow feature? Also, how to swap apps? I saw a video online which had two buttons next to the divider line but there aren't any buttons showing up on mine. I have an o2 variant if that is any help.
Am i able to flash a stock rom(without o2 splash screen and bloatware) without rooting? Would this unlock the device also?
Thanks

Try asking this question in the Q&A section

Thanks, and sorry I just realised now, was trying to find how to delete the post and repost it in the Q&A section.

To make the app full screen:
With the arrow in the divider pointing to the app you want full screen, touch the divider. Two options should pop up. Choose the big window.
To change apps:
Drag another app from the multi window to the location of the app you want to replace.

i agree with you, after using my Note II for two weeks. Using my GS3 and One X feels so tiny in the hands

Try using a smaller phone like a non-android 2+ inch screen. When I did it, I was like.. :sly: to to :sly:.

True enough... Note 2 make me love the big phone.... the rest of the small phone :sly:

Black gaps in mobile network bar in battery stats?

Can someone post a battery stats screenshot? I get black gaps in my mobile network bar even though I never have airplane mode enabled. On all other android phones I've owned the mobile indicator bar only had black gaps if airplane mode was enabled...

thanks. I've never used a touchwiz ROM before (installed AOSP on my GS3 from day 1).

The odd one in your screen shot is how you have screen on time but no awake time showing

Yep it's ridiculous that it hasn't been fixed. Just use an app like better battery stats.

Yeah I know but don't like having to install an app that shouldn't be needed, or in less you want to see what is doing the wake locks
I'm safe for now will be on my skyrocket for an other week hopefully getting my S4 on Thursday if att store here still has them

Wave over Lock screen

Any way to set the Touchwiz Wave over info screen as a Lock screen widget?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2

So that you can always view the Quick Glance information? From what I know, the Samsung framework has no way to do that. It would be rather cool to entirely replace the background to the Quick Glance screen.
The Play Store may have some widgets that can give you something comparable that can also be added to the lock screen.

Will see if I can crack it open to be able to replace the background.

It looks like the background for the quick glance screen is one of the stock live wallpapers...I wonder what effect freezing them in TiBu would have?

Black bars om the top of the screen

Hey, I bought a s4 and have some problems..
Sometimes when I'm in apps they get like pushed 0,5cm down on the screen. That bar is black and stays that way till I reopen the app.
