[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scribe:
Having played with my S III for a day now, I've been mighty impressed by the vibrancy and contrast of the screen, however, during the evening, when the lights were off, I couldn't help but notice something peculiar.

To be clear, I have no clear dead or stuck pixels and the issue occurs when the device is on, displaying a black screen (though I first noticed it in video playback that had black borders). I'm unable to capture a shot so I'll explain this as best I can.

When on a black screen, there is a faint glow, when looking closely, there are patches of very dark segments throughout the screen that are true black, as opposed to the general glow of the device.

Does anyone else experience this? Is it normal?

Many thanks

Do they look like black splotches that can only be seen when viewing a black screen.in the dark? That sounds like the same problem all vitas have, something that is unfortunately a side effect of oled screens. My current phone, a samsung wave, doesn't have this issue though I've read that some other phones like previous galaxy s models produce the same problems. Bummer if that's it since I hated it in the vita

Yup its on all amoled devices starting from sgs 2 but its less on some and more on others but still I don't think it hinders usage of the mobile
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guancho:
I have this too and find it quite annoying (even though you barely see it, only when displaying a black picture and in dark environment).

Would be interesting to know whether really all S3s have that.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scribe:
Arg, curses! Yeah I didn't notice it on my SII which is why it was such a shock on the SIII. It's only noticeable in a pitch black room but sadly now I know it's there I fear I'm going to be picky :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Po0yAn:
I hope it's not the same problem existed on all galaxy tab 7.7 models which you could see circles and spots on a dark background in a very dark room. My nexus s and sgs2 didn't have it but it was so annoying (for me) on tab 7.7 which I returned it and never got another one. Take a look at this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1463622

I hope it's not on all models of sgs3,I'm planning to get the 64gb model...

I'm wondering if this is due d

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueseeker:
What is so annoying about it ? I bet that no one is looking at a black screen for more than a few seconds in a completely dark environment.

Try this: light up a few pixels on the screen and tell me if you still see the patterns. I bet you don't! S2 has the same "problem" and the thing is that if you switch to landscape the patterns dissapear and re-align. I guess it's how the amoleds work.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Po0yAn:
If you check the pics in the thread I posted you can see many pics of the problem on tab 7.7. It needs a DSLR with good exposure abilities to make the problem viewable on a pic ( though it is noticeable with the eye in the aforementioned situation ). If the problem is as widespread as it was on tab 7.7 this thread will be explode with pictures and complaints. *fingers crossed* that's not gonna happen hopefully.

If the issue is as bad as it was on tab 7.7 it is noticeable on any "dark" background, not only completely black backgrounds, like when you're viewing a dark pic or during dark scenes in a video or movie, I could even notice it in TW Settings.

It's impossible to see in the light/day time.

You need a pitch black room, with screen test app turn to black screen,,,slowly the wriggly lines and patches will show up. It is annoying yes - 2 phones were exactly the same defects. Each phone had it's own wriggly lines etc.

Tried to take a picture but it's nearly impossible.

I thought I had taken a back-up of my photos before a factory reset but hadn't:eek:. Does factory reset scramble/wipe the SD card or is it possible to recover any of them?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Moonbloom:
Doing a factory reset on your phone does not touch your SD card (Which is where photos are saved).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Andyjenk:
Thanks, but I meant the internal memory in my Transformer Prime (I imagine that is an SD card??)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lil-devil:
as the android data base is concern, it treats that as a SDcard

but after the factory reset, it will also wipe the internal memory also~

Hello,

Just wanted to share the case I bought for my xoom 2. I couldn't find a topic regarding xoom 2 cases so I opened this one.

I didn't wanted to go with the original motorola case as I saw there are some problems with it.

The one I bought fits perfect on the tablet.

I have the case for over 2 months now and it performs ok, no wear & tear signs.

It also has the ipad case thingy that turns into a stand, and it is reliable doesn't unfold like the original motorola case.

I can't seem to work ADB or anything like that, I've read most of the threads on here and tried to follow numerous tutorials and this is my first android phone.

I've enabled USB Debugging, however when I run install.bat with superuser.apk in the same folder it just tells me that there is no device found, not sure what to do

-thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex Charles:
I had a similar issue. Easiest thing to do is install omega .

Make a back up of your stock Rom first then flash omega without wiping your data.

It has full root built in
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mayuki:
Your problem is you need to run adb start-server in a terminal in the sdk/platform folder.

It needs to start so the install bat can talk to the phone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deltanet1983:
Had the same issue yesterday in my case there was a strange problem with the drivers. All was installed fine i could see ADB device in device manager however adb did not se the device.

Finally installed kies on a computer that never had anything installed like mobile phones etc than run install.bat and all was ok.it took around 15 sec to find the phone and drivers and finish all the rooting operations.

Still dont know what kind of a driver conflict is it...Some report that reinstalling kies helps but not in my case.

If u can try on another computer.

Does anyone know where I can purchase the first generation arglye tpu's? I recently bought a smoked one on ebay since my first clear one got ugly yellow and I'm disappointed with it. The first cases that came out were easier to press the buttons and it did not wrap around the screen, instead it was flush with the screen.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cptmorgans:
Hi all,

I use a GPS Receiver (qStarz 818XT) and Trackmaster App with my Galaxy S2 whilst doing trackdays.

Previously running 2.3.3, 2.3.4 & 2.3.5 the system worked perfectly.

Having upgraded to 4.0.3 (XWLP7 stock) I found that as soon as the phone locked itself (screen off) the software stopped logging/receiving. If I keep the screen on all is fine. Now unfortunately on a motorcycle trackday my phone gets locked and put in my pocket.

Having reverted back to 2.3.5 (XWKJ1) the App / GPS Receiver works perfectly, as intended with the screen locked, continuing to log data.

Is this a known Bluetooth problem with 4.0.3 dropping out? Any solutions?

Many thanks all.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
It is not a known bug ... for me.

Maybe you should try some of the newer ICS ROMs, such as XWLPD or XWLPF.

Official Firmware thread is here => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

Try to wipe cache partition (and Dalvik cache) after flashing ICS.

If that does not help, you may have to do a factory reset.

So, please make a backup before !

Good luck !

I live in Europe and the Xperia S has been out for a while but quite a while I've been doubting about the fact if I should get the Xperia S or wait for a new device by Sony. Lots of phones get announced. But a lot of these are not coming to Europe or take way to long to get released.

I currently got a HTC Desire and its becoming really slow and annoying so its really time to upgrades.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MrBelter:
If you spend all your life waiting for the next phone you will never buy one, the Xperia S is brilliant.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Go with the XPS. We're not getting the GX (confirmed-ish), and you can maybe hope for the Ion. But not much else from Sony really.

If you want a smartphone that in 10 hours with a medium use drain the battery completely, buy Xperia S.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kekkle:
I understand that. But for example, I wouldn't want to get a Galaxy S II a month ago just to have the S III be released this month. Trying to avoid that happening.

Is this supposed to be positive or negative?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] k_myk:
BS!

SXS battery won't be worse than Desire's!

I bought SXS less than a month ago, switched from Galaxy Nexus and I don't regret it. You shouldn't focus only on hardware. User Experience is the most important thing. It's UX what makes you pleased when you use your phone and Sony (SE) knows how to make good UX. Aaaand it will get 4.0.4 soon, so you will have latest and greatest with better copy,cut,paste and way better google apps.

Hardware-wise this phone is gorgeous. It's got that "it", that cool-factor which makes everybody look twice on it and it's transparent bar on he bottom is just wow! :D

One more thing. It's got one of the best auto brightness I've ever seen on Android device. You don't hear something like this very often, but I think it is a detail which makes using YOUR phone pleasant. You don't have to fight with it. Finally it just works and you can forget about it:)

Just my 2 cents ^^
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Kh0rdan:
The XS is Sony's most powerful phone for this year (at least concerning Europe...)!

If you like it, I can absolutely recommend it.

Coming from a SGSII, there are TONS of reasons why I like Sony a lot more then Samsung... (Including the auto brightness, which IS brilliant!)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ambroos:
The Xperia S is great, and it recently dropped in price too (at least in Belgium). From €499 to €449 RRP. You can find it for around €400 easily. Which is a steal for this phone!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Scratchling:
Get the store attendant to open the box and show you the build code before you buy, make sure you dont get an early one that will likely have the tint.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mehran_o0o:
buy it....

well, xperia S is international version of xperia ion ( well not exactly the same but you can say so). so as long as I know there is no ion for europe. and believe me if there is a place that xperia S is worth buying in, is europe. I wish I lived in europe so I could use any phone I liked. right now Im using xperia play r800i and its not working well here since its international version and not U.S version. so yea bro buy it. if u listen to me, dont buy it the same day it comes, let it b for a month then buy it, because at first they boost the price to jump the selling. i did this mistake with tablet s and bought it for 400 and now they sell it for 300 to students.. i bought it the very first day it came out.:confused:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kekkle:
Well, I've just been to the store again to check everything there is and still the Xperia S is my most wanted phone. My only thing against it now is the fact that the battery can't be replaced.

Is it really unreplaceable even when voiding warranty?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Scratchling:
You can change it, but there arent any available YET. Its not simple either, so its not like you'd carry a spare, but if say in 18 months you wanted to replace the pack it'd be straight forward enough as long as you have the write screw bits for getting into a phone.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] k_myk:
I understand that it may be a issue for you, but seriously why would you want to replace it? It's a integral part of the phone so it's covered by the same 2 year warranty. If it will brake you will have it replaced:)

I have decided. I will be ordering my black Xperia S tomorrow morning.

I did a test on both on the desktop version of bbc iplayer , i played the hd versions of programs, the s3 just skips struggles, and the htc one x is butter smooth quality of picture is amazing, both was using same wifi connection, ???

also when both set on auto brightness the S3 is way darker , actually too dim, is this ploy to get better battery, the htc one x auto brightness was nice ,

Thanks

I just tried a quick hd test as well and yeh the gs3 does seem to struggle with hd on iplayer. Pretty disappointing. Reviews showed that the gs3 could handle 1080p flash video perfectly so here's hoping it's an easy software fix.

ya its annoying as the HTC one x can do it right off, quality on the hd is amazing , think the res the hd on bbc iplayer is around same res of screen as well,

Its likely to be a problem with iPlayer itself, not the S3, this isnt the first time such a thing has happened.

Ah, how disappointing.

So, clearly the app is not optimized for S3.

Did you do a WiFI speed/drop-out test just to make sure it wasn't a wifi issue (unlikely, but theoretically possible I guess).
[Galaxy S III General] uscool:
i did a speedtest, its a 30mb broadband connection so no issue there

well i blame both really, just aint optimized for the s3 hardware, annoying that the HTC one X can do it right off :(

T-mobile USA's Galaxy SII is model SGH-T989, which is a completely different phone from the I9100, and has a different forum altogether.

This is the I9100 forum, which is the international model of Galaxy SII.
