i guess i am not sure if what i am seeing is the same thing. i see very even faint lines that looks like its on top of the screen layer. that run vertically if in the landscape position. or horizontal if you are holding the phone upright. but i see them only when i have the backlight turned all the way down to like 2 percent. but these lines are even throughout the screen and are very faint.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quarlow:
I guess yours is worse than mine ... even knowing where the "issue" is I cannot see it while watching movies, or any other tasks. My main point was that most people agreed this was not bad enough to notice on everyday use. I have seen the issue once, and in the next 12 months I would be surprised if I see it ever again.

If this is a big enough defect for you to actually see every day on your device then return it. If the replacement had the same issue, don't keep getting SGS IIs. There are plenty of other phones. The Atrix 2 just dropped, the Thrill is fairly solid. This is why we have a 30 day return window.

You need to make that decision yourself. I didn't read all the pages of replies, but of the ones I read you seem to be the only one that can see this under normal use.

And ill say IT again.

This statement has NOTHING to do with THIS thread.

I'm glad I just said that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quarlow:
I heard a great joke the other day. There is a pot and a kettle on the stove ...

And I'll say IT again ... can ANY other SGS II user confirm they actually notice this "issue" when not staring at dark grey photos in a pitch black room?

I get that the screen is important to you. Reading the other topics you have started help put the problem into scope for me. You seemed to also be the only one that could see a yellow tint on your Atrix. You also seem to see a blue tint on your SGS II when you hold it at an angle (something I cannot reproduce).

No one is forcing you to buy these phones. If every screen you find has some sort of flaw, that no one else cares about (because its so minor that no one ever noticed it), maybe you should stop flooding the forums with posts. No piece of hardware will be flawless, you have to weigh the pros and cons and make a decision. Keep the SGS II, replace it, buy something new, do whatever you want. You let everyone know that you perceive an issue, an earth-shattering, mind-altering, catsclismic issue with the phone. The resounding response was that no one noticed or cares.

Can we close this thread now? I'm done, no more fueling the fire or feeding the troll for me.

There's a piece of plastic in the battery compartment that wasnt molded perfectly. Should i return the phone? I notice it on a daily basis with my nano vision .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
Maybe you should stop posting completely because you have the IQ of a cat.

The things that I have posted about the Atrix not being able to reproduce yellows has been widely documented. As is the blue tint to ALL amoled screens.

Also as you can see there are others able to reproduce this 'issue' on their phones as well. And if you would have read what I posted earlier you would know that this issue can be observed with the notifications window in a dark room as well.

Go away. You're annoying.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
I would and I am not joking.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] akira02rex:
Look dude we get your upset. Do what you need to do but you aren't going to convince the world to do exactly the same or think just like you. You may be part OCD if you're this anal about it because I gaurentee the next phone you get won't be perfect... in fact NONE of them will. Everything has flaws down to the molecular structure.

What's next, the microscope?

The money I earned last week wasn't perfect, but I don't *****...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dmnall:
I totally agree akira02rex. I tried it to see if I could see something, not that I would complain about it and my phone is fine. I would only complain if there were any imperfections that can be seen all the time, or if something like what happened with my first launch captivate where the home key went off all the time, and charging would only get to 80% and get hot. Nothing is ever perfect, all cell phones are going to have issues, but I can honestly say my sgs2 is close to being perfect, I have not ran into any issues at all and for the first time, I can say with a phone that I have zero issues with this phone.

HTH,

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
Whew, man, you guys got it all figured out. Thanks for the awesome contributions to this thread.

I just hit the thanks button on the last three posters. Thanks again guys.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BarryH_GEG:
Here's a helpful little hint for all of you guys; give it up. The below thread on the ISGS2 forum was started the week the phone was released (May). It's up to 232 pages of "yes it is" and "no it isn't" all leading absolutely nowhere.

The ISGS2 has a discoloration along the left 1/4 of the display that you can only see on a grey background, in a dark room, at zero brightness, and when you take a pic of the phone. It affects every phone produced. Other display issues included wide variations in screen color temperature with those biased to yellow exaggerating the left side discoloration. Some people are indignant that an expensive phone has any flaws while most don't care because it has to be reproduced under special and unusual circumstances and doesn’t really impact everyday use. It bothered the indignant enough that quite a few of them got different phones.

Regardless, it was pointed out to the online media who wrote about it and was reported to Samsung regional offices all over the world. The result? No response.

So the bottom line is if you think the issue with the AT&T SGS2’s display is something you can't live with and a deal breaker, return the phone. If after selling nine million units of the ISGS2 Samsung didn't respond they're certainly not going to react any differently with a model that will sell far fewer units. So you can work yourselves up in to a frenzy like some did in the ISGS2 forum but, months later, you'll end up in exactly the same place - nowhere.

P.S. – And for those of you that are looking at the Prime as salvation, good luck with that. Part of the issue with the ISGS2 and the AT&T SGS2 is the AMOLED+ display. Obviously increasing the number of pixels exaggerates what appear to be challenges with the technology. An HD SAMOLED+ display ought to be tons of fun when it comes to screen imperfections.

Ok now listen very carefully. In order to see this picture you need to have your brightness all the way UP.

You have to do the exact opposite that you have to do when trying to find the defect on your own screen.

This is a picture of my screen taken in total darkness with a damn playskool camera:

I definitely see a darker horizontal line on the gray screen that appears when the Market is loading 'my apps'...it's annoying especially since my Captivate screen is perfect (albeit slightly less crisp.) Do any of the reviews on the GSII handsets call this out? I haven't read anything about it besides a couple threads on here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] poofyhairguy:
After I got my SGS2 I noticed a large discolored tri-angle on the bottom. It really bugged me reading at night on white screens. I took it to AT&T and the nice girl there took it into complete darkness and was convinced it was flawed. She pulled out another and after inspection it was even worse. So she went and got one from a different source (a shipment after the first) and the screen seemed flawless. Further inspection shows two small discolored places on the top, but I can live with that given the options.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:

In northern California they dont have these phones in the store for sale for some reason. I wonder if they even have replacement ones they can offer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
Just an update.

I went into the store, showed the employee the screen, he agreed it was flawed and ordered me a new one. It will be in hopefully in 3 days.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] _icemanu:
I just got my phone replaced today. I only tested the test screen and it looked on.

After I came home, I tried Microbes wallpaper and oh wow! It looked horrible ... (something like it was running on 16 bit instead of 32bit)

I was told my ATT store that I would have to pay the $35 restocking, if I ever have to replace the defective phone for the 2nd time. Is that the common consensus with ATT ???

This is how it exactly looks like on my screen of GS2 on Full brightness. Is it normal ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] elhippo:
Did you have the same wallpaper on your last sgs2? My phone has the same 16bit-like issue on certain images / gradients. I just assumed it was due to the screen technology, which doesn't seem too far fetched.

Most images look great, it's just a few that look bad (most of them have some soft of gray involved).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Dxtra:
Guys the flaw is there, returning them won't do a then thing but probably get one that's worst. It's annoying, I know but what are the options? I love my GSII to much let this ruin it. I'll happily will wait for the SGS3 with ice cream sandwich in it. or who know I might get the Galaxy nexus for Verizon LTE it's looking sweet , ATT it's taking too god damn long to deploy LTE.

Not true. Not all of them have the defect.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] trusktr:
Just a guess, but the SGS2 comes with special technology that dims the backlight on a per-pixel basis. Perhaps the back light is what you see causing the effect.

Anyways, this is a rare use-case scenario! haha
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EvoTengoku:
My first sgs2 had a dead pixel so I returned it.

My current sgs2 has a slight green tint to it. Nothing appears pure white but more off white with a greenish grey hue. Compared to my brother who has the same phone and his produces pure white.

Going to attempt an exchange in a few days.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:

Go to 17 different stores if you have to. They will eventually take care of you.

Or call customer care.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Firepac:
I too have an area on the bottom right of the screen (when held in landscape with the volume buttons facing down) that's slightly duller than the rest of the screen. It's in the shape of a triangle. I've only had this phone for 3 days too.

That's exactly what I have on mine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EvoTengoku:
I went to another store and they couldnt do anything for me. They told me to get a refund from the original store.

I go to the original store and get a full refund and they reverse my upgrade. ok im fine with that.

30 minutes later i get a call from the store manager and he says he heard what happened and that he will exchange me a new phone (apparently 1 store exchange applies if youre going between different models but not if youre exchanging for same model due to defect).

When i get home i notice vertical black lines. You can easily see it in the notifications screen. Debating what to do now... so much headache.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] lanisan:
Screen

I tested mine out and didn't notice any of the lines issues. What I am having an issue with however is the screen responsiveness. I didn't see this issue in the forums and thought it could possibly be tied to this (or not). A perfect example would be this. I tap on the enadget app. I click on a story to read. I click on the upper right *message* icon and the screen is unresponsive. Sometimes I have to click it 4-5 times to get the messages to come up.

This is just one example. If you're having problems or know a thread on the ATT SGSII where others are having this problem pm me or point me in the right direction.

Thanks!!

I had a lot of problems with the AP NEWS app try that app in the market and see if that does the same thing
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
If you look closely you can see that the screen shakes when you try to click the link. The phone thinks you're trying to move the screen rather than click the link. Its a problem system wide on this phone.

The same thing happens if you try to click and hold a home screen to place a widget. I suspect that its the same reason that typing is a pain in the ass as well.

I believe the screen is actually overly sensitive.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] justabrake:
I must say I thought it was my BIG fat fingers typing never thought of it having a problem, I was wondering why I kept typing the wrong letters and all the wrong letters were beneath the letters I was typing LOL

I thought it was just a touch adjustment that you can make it work correctly like on a mouse.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Dungeon47:
I've noticed the extra sensitivity, but I've gotten used to it. My screen does have grey splotches when viewed in very low light. I wonder if that will get worse over time, or if they will all develop it eventually. or if it will go away after a few weeks of burn-in time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
Just got my replacement and I'm happy to say that it is defect free. Well the screen is anyway. I checked full screen brightness on black, grey, and white, as well as brightness all the way down. No blotches or anything. Maybe some almost impossible to tell stuff on the low light grey screen but its nothing you can see without a microscope. The last screen was an OBVIOUS defect.

Now lets see if the rest of the phone holds up. Luckily the way I did it, I sitll have a 30 return period :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ZephCr:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
The display on my sgsII is at least as good as my captivate was. I gave my captivate to my wife, so I can put them side by side to compare. Its very subjective, but the sgsII seems a little bit better to me.

You have the I9100 boot screen with the yellow warning triangle because you flashed a custom kernel using Odin or Heimdall from a computer. To clear the I9100 boot screen and the triangle, flash a stock kernel with odin or Heimdall. Or if you have a jig, putting the phone into download mode with the jig will clear the boot screen with triangle, and restore the original AT&T boot screen, and also reset the flash counter.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ZephCr:

Hey all,

My phone is lagging in games(which it shouldn't) and other applications while I open them you can see a delay actually. Recently I've tried the free version of Minecraft : PE Demo with my HTC Desire and my brother with his Huawei

IDEOS X5 and joined the same game session to test it out, I found out that he didn't had any lag compared to me, his ran smoothly while mine was lagging pretty much, then we botch switched to fancy graphics(higher graphics) and both of us were lagging, then his stopped to lag and worked just fine while I couldn't even rotate due to the lag and FPS drops. Our phones are almost equal so there's not a big difference, I checked I had over 150Mb RAM free while he only had 35MB~70MB RAM free in most cases which was really weird. Anyone knows what would fix the problem? I've tried many ROMs before but none gave me real good results. I'm currently using MUIU ROM which I just flashed about three hours ago.

I'd please for any kind of help.
