I too found my I9505 having the same issue and it is also slower in capturing compare to my gf's note2 and friend's S3..
I am deeply disappointed...

Well, my task this weekend was to go to some dealer's store and test the S4's camera on the display units.. (I9500 as there's no I9505)...
I noticed the difference in between these 2
Faster focus and capture on the I9500
Less blurry shot on the I9500..
My I9505 really outperformed by the I9500 and I am kinda a disappointed I9505 user now after all I read good reviews.
I am sure something must have gone wrong with the I9505
P.S: The plastic is for sure being removed and outdoor daylight my I9505 has crystal clear picture but not when indoor even when you have good lighting..

Rear facing camera not working
My sister just got a i9505 from the UK.
The rear-facing camera doesn't work, meaning that it's just showing black, but you can still see the on-screen menu buttons.
The front-facing camera works fine.
I tried to ODIN back to stock, but it failed since the device came with a locked bootloader.
I restored it to the latest stock firmware using Samsung KIES, but that didn't make a difference. Any suggestions before I have her send it back for a refund?

Lines throughout the display

Hi all, as you can see in the photo my note 3 suffer from this strange lines especially noticeable on the grey and white colors. Can any anyone test his screen and tell if have this problem too? you can do it by downloading "Screen Test" app. Also i'd like to know if this is a software or hardware related problem.

a friend of mine have a similar problem! maybe is a difect of every phone... please test and let me know

Had this issue with 2 Galaxy S4 which I finally gave up on - they are defective. You can only see it in low light under grey background. Go back and throw the phone at them. Trouble is the technician will never see it in store under those lights.

No, but that app is so ridiculously low-res that I can see the individual pixels.
Do they also show up if you open up Sketchbook? (Gives you a white sheet.)

Yep, the infamous AMOLED verticle lines going down the screen. I am glad my note 3 doesnt have this, really irritated me on the S4.

I do have the pink hue..but no vertical line like that..

So should I take the phone to service centre or not?

Those little spots are normal as well.. My nexus 7 has that and most phones do
As for the first pic.. That is the IPS touch sensor

I believe that is what LG calls "Zero Gap Technology". Its not a defect.

Horizontal lines on display

Hi bros, my phone is just 3 days old and it has a little problem in display.. if I set screen brightness lower and background image white or grey then there appears two horizontal straight lines in the display which used to get vanished on higher brightness.. so can you guys tell me if this is a really big issue or not because I have 30 days replacememt policy..
Sent from my GT-I9500

If it bothers you, then you should get a replacement. I would get the replacement, could get worse with time

I'd be straight on the phone to get the replacement it'll only get worse not recify itself

Well I am also thinking to get it replaced and while searching over net I just came to know that it is normal in amoled display and there is no guarantee if the next one wont be worse than this one.. also I saw flipkart review (I bought from there) some people complained that after replacement also they got same error.. so just wanna be confirmed..

Get it replaced again and again till the problem is not solved.
My device has no such problem so it is not a problem that all devices have.

It is a hardware problem about horizontal lines on display. I don't thing that will happen again as you get a new replacement.

After getting it replaced now there are some vertical lines also as well as some horizontal lines.. so the previous one was better.. and after searching over net I found it as normal.. almost everyone has this in their device.. to get these lines visible u have to select a grey background and u have to check the display at dark room and with low brightness (25% or less).. I guess all have this issue more or less.. by the way I have asked for replacement once more.. lets see what I will get next.. but it is pretty sure that samsung should not invest on amoled technology if they cant produce error free display..

In a dark rum open ur mobile.. set the brightness below 25% and make the background grey and look carefully if there is any lines or band.. many users are facing this problem in amoled displays.. and i dont understand why samsung focused on such an expensive display which has this type of draw backs..

just tried it at many different brightness levels and background colours but I can see no such lines.
Remember such bands can be caused by scratch guards of poor quality.

There are no scratch guard on the display.. I dont use any cover or screen protector in my phone... and if u cant see any such lines then u r lucky.. I am waiting for my 3rd replacement.. next time I will ask for refund if I see more lines on display..

I got again same issues on my new replaced phone.. I m gonna use it for now and if it really makes any problem I will go to service centre as I got 1 year warranty too. What do u guys say? The seller is also ready to give me full refund but there is no guarantee if I wont get defective phn next time.. so for now I want to keep it with me.. what do u guys say??

Dude it's totally normal and unfortunately something you have to live with. You will NOT find an S4 with a perfect display.
I went through 7 of them, and every single one had horizontal banding in the grey, some had that and green or pink tints as well.

If it bothers u alot, get a refund.
I don't think u can get a s4 with a perfect screen, I have seen numerous S4s all of them suffer from this.

Well but will this issue make any problem in future? I am not worried about this issue for now but I am worried if in future it creates any problem.. I have prepared to trip the knox counter within next 2 or 3 months so I will lose warranty.. thats the reason why m I worried..

Thats normal, is the autofocus sensor, it does that when the camera is off, try it with the camera app open and it should not rattle, because is in use.
S3 and S4 are the same

How often are you shaking your phone for that to actually bother you, though? lol

Noticed mine rattles too. Also notice the rattle when I tap the top part of the touch screen. It's quite annoying tbh.

Lol sorry I have a really bad ear for things like this at least we can say its normal lol

I just posted about this in AT&T S5 forums. It is very annoying, but it doesn't do it at all when the camera is in use. So its normal. Guess its just part of the new ISO cell technology.

i get nose from the front cam

I never noticed this either till i read this forum.
my noise also goes away with the camera on...very interesting....

Very annoying isn't it lookingnon the forums seems common so normal but still annoying

so it's a software issue? I noticed this on Day 1 when I received my shipment on Thursday! This is very annoying! My S4 never did this! Only on the top part of the phone.. really odd. How can the camera cause a hardware rattle? really weird.

It is pretty common in smart phones, my Nokia 1020's Optical Image Stabiliser's ball bearings would also rattle when not in use.
