(Q) is it normal for these screens.

Never owned a IPS screen or so.
Is it normal to have yellow tint on the edges when having a black background ? When I have a white background its pure white ( saw someone with yellow tint on white background) .

Nope. That is one of the problems that some users are facing. You should RMA your 7.
It would be pretty bogus if that was how ALL IPS screens were, lol.

True. After hours or researched. I came up with not much to go off by lol.
PC screens with IPS screens were saying that yellow tint were cause by a glue not being dry out evaporated yet and the more you use it they tend to just go away and get Better. I guess iPad 2 had similar problems. Most of them advice to use it more and they will go away so I might try that . I'd hate to be without this for a week to 2 weeks. But then again I got mine at Sams but their put and no way of knowing when they we will one.
Didn't happen doh until I got some heavy duty gaming last night. So might have gotten hot and was evaporating the left over glue? Lol correct me if I am wrong but that's what I gather so far..

I don't have it in mine and don't know much about it but my roommates IPS monitor NEVER had a yellow tint.
And Google will do an advanced RMA where they send you one and put a hold on your credit card until you send the other one back.

Black SIII

I just wanted to say how happy I am I waited for the black color to become available. And by waited, I mean bought a blue then a white and now my lovely black. I definitely like the black the best

I saw it a few days ago in the shop and I have to admit it looked gorgeous and much better than the blue one. I also noticed the plastic on the edges is a fraction of a millimeter higher against the glass, I guess they did some minor revisions on the manufacturing.

Bought one but reverted back to the white. Couldn't stand all those fingerprints. Even the slightest specks of dust were visible too.

sent.

It IS gorgeous...got mine via expansys a few days ago. Not that this should be a reason to love a phone but have had several people ask if this is the galaxy s4 lol.
Because of the amoled tech, if you disable the wallpaper using apex or something, the blacks of the screen are so deep that it looks completely seamless the frame/bezel. Currently rocking a minimalist white icon dock and it all looks very slick.
Highly recommended.

I waited very very long too only to grt it in black.i generally have always black phones i love the dsrk style but on the s3 it looks georgeus.
It makes the s3 look like a alien weapon

LoL that's a blue with a black cover.

My Pebble Blue looks very similar to that. I've got a black cover on the back of it and it's hard to distinguish both! Quite interesting!

No, it's black. The flash is messing with the picture. It does look a tad blue in the pic. I assure you in person the black is black, the burple and black look very different.

Yellow tint on screen

Yellow tint on my new GT-P6800. Anyone experience this? I still have my GT-P6810 and it had a much clearer blue or white image quality. Wondering if I got a lemon or what. I ordered from Negri Electronics and received the 6800 on Monday this week. It was $399 with coupon so great deal but I may return and keep my wifi model if I can't figure out what's going on. Thanks

Here's an update with some sample images. First pictures at 100% brightness then at around 50%. Am I being crazy or does anyone see what I'm talking about? I did buy the P6810 wifi version about 8 or 9 months ago. Wondering if the slight variation could be from different manufacturing or display panel being used by Samsung.

Yes - some models have that yellowish tin, some have the bluish tint.

Part of my screen was yellowish and I sent it back for warranty claim. They replaced the screen and it is fine now. In your case, it is the whole screen and it could be difficult to justify for a replacement.

It can be masked with an app like Screen Filter but it's not ideal to fix a display issue with an after market app out of the box. The only other thing I noticed when I received the tablet was that the retail box was wrapped in plastic but the Samsung seal was broken like it was sliced with a knife. I took multiple pictures before I opened the retail box or outside plastic wrap. What do you guys think? Would you let it go or try a return for a screen with equal quality?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using XDA Premium HD app

I can see what you mean with the yellowish tint... It's not a major distraction but I would ask for a replacement if it was me. Better to do it sooner rather than later if u are going to do it. If they refuse then maybe ask for a discount? Not sure what the laws are in your country... Here in the uk we have pretty strong consumer laws for this kinda thing.

Oh yeah, I tried all the modes. I normally run dynamic but it was yellow tint in either of the modes versus the P6810. I'll talk with Sergio at Negro customer service. I've dealt with him before on another issue and he was awesome.

Gap between top bezel and glass

Is this the way the phone is supposed to be? There's a small gap between the top part of the bezel where it meets the glass. I try to keep my phone clean all the time but there are quite a few lint pieces and grime stuck in that gap. The bottom of the phone is tight. Never dropped it. It is an RMA

I think you can snap it back. Press it gently and it'll close.

As you can see the bottom is tight with no gap. The top has a big enough gap for dirt and debris and no way to get it out.

Definitely not normal, you should probably RMA again if you can't fix it by simple means like the one posted above

Thanks for your reply. All this time I thought it was normal
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

I have no gap on the top or bottom, and neither do any of the 5 others I know with N4s so yeah, RMA.

send that gaping gap back, son!
...before you get tiny creature eggs in them

Called google play customer service and started the RMA process. Thanks guys
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

Not going well with my RMA. This was customer service response :
"Thanks for contacting Google. The*specialists*has informed me that the*gaps are to allow for expansion of the glass due to varying temperature and is an intended part of the design.
If you have any*further*questions please feel free to*respond*to this email."
Can some of you guys take some photos of your phones so I can send this robot? Any other suggestions?

Dude, I think even with photos, you would be hard pressed to change their mind. Cosmetic faults are always put down as subjective and not worthy of replacement. You should have told them that you were experiencing some technical fault i.e. frequent dropped calls.
If you aren't successful this time round, RMA it again with such an excuse...

I have the same issue but my gaps are much bigger and go throughout the whole screen. Dust and stuff goes in it. The front camera has a dark overlay whenever i use it due to all the dust that has gotten in there. I would RMA it but i bought it off a friend and im not sure if they want to accept it.
Here is a picture of a white door that i took outside using the front camera.

Its very dark and it has a weird dark overlay at the top.

White or black ?

I know that the version is a fingerprint magnet so plz advise which color is more appealing and better looking overall
I am planning on getting the feather thin case btw

Yeah i'd definitely recommend black. But be warned, once you go black, you never go back

many people here would say black but i personally am using white and i can say it looks absolutely gorgeous and best part no fingerprints!!, been using for a month now no signs of getting dirty either.
was in the same boat as you are, saw a couple of videos and always at the at end of the review the black unit would get covered with fingerprints couldnt stand it got the white and loving it

It's a personal choice.
Ask yourself whether you would dress in white from top to bottom (white hat, white suite, white vest, white pants, white socks, white shoes) or black one.

Get the white one. Seriously. The black one looks like its a s3 clone. The white one actually manages to look pretty and isn't a fingerprint magnet.

I chose Black because my previously phone was white. (Well silver and white HTC One but my Note before that was white). Sometimes it's good to switch it up. White if you like to stand out, black if you like the sleek look. Either way, you're gonna slap a colored case on it. Enjoy.

I think the "finger print magnet" thing is over-rated...got blown up by the reviews sites like gsm arena...so silly...every gadget in our lives is finger print magnet..that is the truth..but it is always up to the user....

Black always

The color of a phone depends on the owner's likes and dislikes I guess, right? So there is nothing to discuss about, you need to live with it, now we xda members So it's your call, and only yours
