I played with one of the demo units in Stratford City and I was disappointed to see Samsung still applying quite a bit of artificial sharpening to the screen.

It's nothing we won't be able to solve with custom roms/kernels, but it's a disappointment nevertheless...
[Galaxy S III General] Toss3:
I'd love to learn how to adjust the mdnie values on the SGS3, but I doubt much can be done, just like it was with the SGS2. Hopefully someone will get rid of the horrible over-sharpening.
[Galaxy S III General] samven582:
so does this phone have any blobs/lines like the S2?

Mine almost does not have! As my experience, difficult to find it on S3 screen!

Clipping during video

Please, please ask her if blacks during video display correctly. Ask her to check out Iron Man, Pepper kiss on YouTube and tell us what happens with blacks. Do they display correctly, or become, blocky, green, grey, purple, etc!

This is crucial to know!:eek:
[Galaxy S III General] SAlmighty:
Good, looks like I am skipping the GS3 for now. Its Samsung's Quality Control CRAP All Over again. Avoid Avoid Avoid! When will Samsung Grow Up! Samsung, you suck, for now!

I am so happy that I painstakingly got my refund for the S2 and Note. I'm not doing this sh!t again!

---------- Post added at 03:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:38 AM ----------

Provide evidence or else that comment doesn't count. :mad:

I've gone through countless threads like these in the past for the S2 and Note, and no proof what-so-ever. If you are only seeking for performance, go ahead, waste your money, and buy the S3. If you are serious about QC, like Apple fan-boys, or consumers that are really cautious with every dime and nickel they spend, they will (with effort) wait 'till these display issues are ever resolve, normally they are not. :(
[Galaxy S III General] nativestranger:
Yes its horrible looking. Like the output from a cheap outdated digital camera. Even my previous sensation xl with its low res 800x480 rgb display looks better using whatsapp and viewing certain forums.

I received my SGS3 yesterday! Was disappointed to see this thread so I just checked and I don't the issues raised here.

Since the official release date was yesterday, tests done on pre-release units you'll always have to take with a pinch of salt!
[Galaxy S III General] Guancho:
I notice that too with dark text on white background. Is there any setting to reduce this?
[Galaxy S III General] Peaceful Observer:
How did you test for black clipping? Try searching for "iron man pepper kiss" or " glee full performance somebody that I used to know" in the youtube app. You can test using other videos with dark scenes as well, but make sure you view them in a dark or very dim room. Thanks:)
[Galaxy S III General] xath23:
Is really no one having dead pixels? I checked two display units and will get mine replaced later. ALL of them had one dead pixel, tested with the LCD colour test *#0*#. I hope i will get lucky this time as dead pixels are absolutely unaccaptable for me, especially in this pricerange..
[Galaxy S III General] Zanr Zij:
Hi all of you,

As I said, just receive my Olympus OM-D E-M5 and I'm very happy with it because it help me show the truth when I came to my friend' store and compared 3 Galaxy S3: My white S3, 2 brandnew Pebble Blue.

Here SOME EVIDENCE for you. How do you think? Do I joke? Hmm

​
[Galaxy S III General] LeviathanPT:
A picture is always worth more than a thousand words :-)

Thanks for posting, this panel lottery reminds me of my 226bw.
[Galaxy S III General] cba1986:
So?

This is not new. Every SAmoled Screen has some tint in it. Why the SGS3 would be different?

Another question, those SGS3 are Rev1 or Rev2?

I ask because the Samsung reseller from who i reserved my SGS3 told that he will get the Rev 2 of the device that corrected many flaws.

I'm at home now and can see the pictures clearly. Yes, there is some tint, but nothing to worry about. :)
[Galaxy S III General] Peaceful Observer:
Hi Zanr Zij,

Thanks for your effort; do you mind testing out the gammatest.png image, and take photos with your Olympus OM-D E-M5? This is the link to the gammatest.png, imageshack.us/photo/my-images/690/gammatest.png/. Sorry I can't give you a hyperlink yet. Thanks.:)
[Galaxy S III General] Zanr Zij:
I will test as your request later.

Here the white balance small test before taking pics of S3(s) screen. The colors almost same as real life.

​
[Galaxy S III General] Peaceful Observer:
Thank you Zanr Zij:) Oh and I forgot to mention. Do the gamma test using the phone's gallery app in a dark room, not the internet browser app. Thanks!
[Galaxy S III General] fylim:
Anyway to tell by serial numbers/codes for S3 panel revisions ? Blue does seem to have a tint and I wonder if this was the real reason for the delay rather than covers.
[Galaxy S III General] 380AU:
I can't imagine the white would have any different electronics to the blue tbh.

The home screen on the white is different, so perhaps the owner has changed a setting in his phone?

Like maybe the colour/display setting to or from dynamic, or vivid or standard?

Maybe auto brightness even.
[Galaxy S III General] Zanr Zij:
- Home screen no effect when you enter LCD TEST by *#0*#

- All standard mode.

- I test them at same condition, brightness level. Only min or max. No auto!

My white S3 for Europe market , the 2 Blue for Asian market.
[Galaxy S III General] cooldoc007:
apart from screen, which looks better.. blue or white??
[Galaxy S III General] Zanr Zij:
Of course white :). But there is no big diffirence between them, don't like S2.
[Galaxy S III General] Locky Loki:
How to tell if it is Rev 2 or Rev 1?
[Galaxy S III General] Zanr Zij:
In Production Batch: rev 2 better rev 1.

In real life usage: almost no diffirence, same as S2.

the battery on blue seems to be below 10% ofcourse its not showing in % but when u look at the battery notification of white and blue u can see the difference...and from my experience on s,s2,note the screen goes into save battery mode as soon as it goes below 10% or 5% cant be sure enough as its been 3months i sold my note...once it goes into battery saving mode the screen brightness just gets to lowest & the screen gets just so dimmed down that the pink hue shows out...may be thats the reason here in these pics its showing so even while doing the *#0*# tests???? please correct me if im wrong...im not saying it doesnt or does have pink tint im just saying you should have seen the battery level to be same or atleast above the standard 15% for the results to come out similar...may be even white one will have the same tint when u test it at that particular battery level & settings if any.

[Galaxy S III General] Zanr Zij:
I know your meaning.

Battery below 15%, above 10%. On my S3, only below 5%, brightness will be reduce.

And of course, no battery saving mode. I'm sure I controlled all things to make any diffirence!
[Galaxy S III General] vinaymonu25:
ok im from india so i think it will get tough for me to find a good one without that tint...especially when the retailers are not ready to open the seal of the product before i pay them...any way to make it out before opening the box like someone said rev1 or rev2 something...please someone ready to explain me about it?
[Galaxy S III General] Zanr Zij:
Finding product for Europe market. You will be much more luckier than other market.

You see on the box, the language will help your know the market.

But the best way: open the box and test carefully :)

My white S3 in pics above, for export to Europe market :)
[Galaxy S III General] dehem333:

If we accepted that yours S3 shows a pink tint. You will have to accept that others works fine.
[Galaxy S III General] LeviathanPT:
In my Acer it looks like brown and on the Samsung its some sort of grey mixed with yellow .
[Galaxy S III General] Zanr Zij:
MY S3 shown almost no pink tint. Many other S3(s) on the market show that :).

Of course, I accept almost problem I said before. I said about it for someone who interest to be void the bad or atleast select a better device :)
[Galaxy S III General] Zanr Zij:
You will see this when S3 display something pure black in the dark inviroment :)
[Galaxy S III General] LeviathanPT:
My LG O2X had leaks on the 4 corners of the screen, that for me is more annoying than just that :)
[Galaxy S III General] cba1986:
Agreed.

Thanks for the info ;)
[Galaxy S III General] Aphova:
Very sad to say that my new S3 suffers horribly from an ugly yellow tint over the top 80% of the screen. The bottom 20% displays whites perfectly but the rest looks like stale old paper on a bathroom novel.

My friend bought his at the same time from the store next door which shares stock (imei only 1000 units apart) and it's perfect.

Very disappointed. Check your phones before leaving the store!
[Galaxy S III General] Quasar83:
Hey guys. I also have two dark dots when viewing the screen with a black background in a dark environment.

My phone also "hangs" from time to time and applications sometimes force closes.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Would you send your phone back if it was like this, or am I most likely to get another one just like it with the same type of problems?

I borrowed the picture from "nicholasyjk". I only got two dark dots and I circled (in red) what I feel is representative for my phones problem.
[Galaxy S III General] LeviathanPT:
Never seem such thing before 0_o seems like someone was using it as a hammer or something.. jeez. Did he say how it happened ?
[Galaxy S III General] Zanr Zij:
1. Two dark dot: almost S3 same.

2. FC App: you should try to reflash you stock rom. If still FC, send it back.
[Galaxy S III General] angelofmusic:
Black clipping???

No one is testing this very simple thing and I have gotten very annoyed waiting for something so simple so...

I asked my friend Bennett to check it for me and he was nice enough to make a video for us! It looks like the screen has made a 90% improvement with blacks in dark videos!

Check it out! It's most obvious at the end of the video. I compared it to my Note at the same time!

I have not dropped the phone or anything like that. Could the screen be playing up, or could it be the miui rom? and if it is how do i fix it?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caner092:

ok i did a multi touch test which kinda helped i guess... I have found out their is like a 0.5cm void on the screen which i cant press? any help...

try watching one of the replace digitizer atrix videos on you tube and determine if your confident enough to try it, but basically your digitizer stopped working, it happened to me 3 times over one year, ATT warranty replaced the phone but it was still pretty annoying.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bob1256:
reply

Is it truly the digitizer, it has no cracks or scratches, as ive had a screen protector on the screen since i have got it :-D, I dont really wanna replace something that isn't necessary. And by the videos it looks a bit beyond me (even though i do electronics in school), but even so i dont really mind the empty void in the screen, the only annoying thing is that the i can't press e,s,w in the keyboard and i use at lest one for my google account password

Hi people,i recently bought a nexus s and when i try to install any update via recovery, such as the official 2.3.5 uk rom(i am on 4.0.4) i get the verification failed error,i even tried to root using the Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip file in recovery but still same error,using 4.0.4 with unlocked bootloader, any ideas how to fix this,i only use linux so hopefully not a windows only fix,Cheers.
[Nexus S General] Harbb:
Couple of possibilities:

-You're using stock recovery/old custom recovery version; flash the latest CWM or TWRP recovery via fastboot

-Your recovery is corrupt/not for your phone; flash the latest CWM or TWRP recovery via fastboot

-You've toggled an option in recovery to check for signed .zips; turn this off via recovery
[Nexus S General] cc7046:
@Harbb for some reason check for signatures was ticked, all good now, Cheers

All that them apps do can be done manually. And if he turned everything off already no "defenders" will help him.

Stop all apps you won't use, brightness on minimum. All animation and sounds off. And drop your CPU frequency.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
That would make his battery life worse.

...of the people, by the people, for the people...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Underclocking helps but not a whole lot. Undervolting helps a little too. Screen off profile use 350/700 min/Max. Using 2g option all weekend would be your best saver. And using lowest brightness possible as much as you can. And turn off all synching.

Do a cwm backup, copy it to your pc, reflash stock...

...although it will take at least 2 days to let the rom/battery settle.

Another option would be to uc and uv (if you perfectly know how to, and how to recover), uninstall or freeze all apps that sync, besides already said things like switch to 2g, logout of latitude, disable data (which is very useful combined with no sync apps installed), manually set low brightness, use a black theme and wp, no lwp, turn off nfc..
