I just notice a small black dot on my screen. I'm guessing it's a dead pixel but I could be wrong. I try to scratch it off but it isn't coming off. What do to guys think it is?

Very weird. It doesn't show up on the screen shot. So maybe it isn't a dead pixel.. Hmm

If it was a dead pixel, it would not show up in a screenshot. Dead pixels are from a defect in the hardware/componentry. Screenshots are just data pulled from a buffer before the image is sent to the display.
To confirm, it is not showing up in the screenshot when you view it on your phone? Is that why you're thinking it isn't a dead pixel?
Regardless, I'd try contacting Samsung's support/warranty line: 1-888-987-HELP

Yes that's why I'm thinking now it's not since it didn't show up in the screenshot. Thanks for clearing that out. But now it's definitely a dead pixel from what you told me. Thanks. I will call up Verizon since I still have warranty.

14 days DOA. Also If you are close to a store just got in and get it swapped instead of calling and having them mail you one.

Exactly, it's not suppose to show cause it's hardware. Download dead pixel from the market and you should be able to see it more clearly with the white and black backgrounds.

My screen has a tarnish yellow tint that is very visible when looking at Web pages but I can only really see the tint when I look straight on at the phone. Is there a way to fix that and to fix the ugly black blotches in the dark?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
If very easy to see yellow tint, go to Samsung service center. About blotch in the dark, that's normal

This is an international phone that is have in USA so if there is a way to fix it I would rather not send it in.

So, nothing wrong here, if you can use it normally.

Oh it's definitely usable I'm just picky about that kind of stuff but I assume it's fixable bc some things look whiter so I'm assuming it's software

You mean change color when browsing? When browsing, go to menu button, setting and brightness. Try change from there.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Just the white looks a yellowish in general on the device not just on the browser but I'd like an explanation why I only notice the tint when looking straight on not from the side
I also have very slight banding of darker pixels when the screen is gray...grr more and more I look at screen more problems I see

Mine feels very sold in the phone. I dont think thats normal, that it moves around..
Shouldn't move. Go RMA your phone under warranty.
Mine also moves and it keeps on showing camera failed when I start camera app.

it's smearing because whenever you see black on the phone the pixels are completely off, so when you swiped quickly in app drawers it's the phone not being able to turn on the pixels on quick enough so you see smearing.
Thanks for the reply. But is it software or hardware problem

I keep randomly having an issue with the camera flash not working, and I've seen other similar complaints with other phones but they force stop camera and it works, mine doesn't. The only thing that works is a reboot, but I shouldn't have to do that to fix the issue. Flashlight doesn't work either at the same time btw. Anyone else worth this problem? Any fixes?

Not with the Stock Camera but I also have the Paid CameraZoomFX and the Flash doesn't fire with that unless I set it to Torch Mode. I know that they (CameraZoomFX) just issued a bug fix for the S4 Flash, so I wonder if they're going to issue one for the N3.
My brother had this same issue had to take the phone back for replacement. They replaced it with little issue at Verizon.

Maybe I'll do that. When they replace it do you get a refurbished or new?

I believe he got a refurb. That's what they generally do unless they don't have any then they give new.

Soft reset? Like just rebooting? Or full wipe and restart?

OK I looked that up and it says it's to troubleshoot an app that may be causing the issue, did you remove an app after that?

I have similar problems. My phone camera flash currently doesn't work at all. None of the apps which have access to the camera and the flash work. I'm currently using InFocus M320e. Several days ago I recorded a video for 35 minutes and the flash was on because it was dark at that time. Is there any way to fix it? Thanks.
