I've just recently noticed that they're 3 dark spots behind the glass myself. I only noticed it while I was flashing a ROM and it got stuck on just a black screen but was still illuminated. Wonder what that can be. I haven't dropped this phone that i can recall.

As far as cases go, I normally don't buy them but i do have a TPU case for this phone that i put on every now and then
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shahkam:
I have several of these dark spots at night while viewing stuff like an youtube video it can also be caused by pressure like lets say you've left it in your pocket and it may have gotten some pressure applied to it it can cause it also..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sbell7105:
This was a common issue with the t989(s2) right out of the box it's a defect call T-Mobile and get a free warranty replacement. Probably shouldn't mention the drop although pretty sure that has nothing to do with it as I'm on my second s3 and they have both had dark spots. It took me three tries to get a perfect s2
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shahkam:
Meh it doesn't bother me that much because i don't want to go through warranty exchange and re root cwm etc etc.. but thanks for letting me know !
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sbell7105:
Yeah I plan on keeping mine for a while at least when my manufactures warranty is coming to an end I'll have a legit reason to get a brand new/refurb phone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sarni84:
Yea those dark spots were bad on the t989 actually very bad. The gs3 is a long way from that but this is definitely the result of their amoled screen
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Orical:
I'm using a D30 case from T-Mobile but I have never dropped my phone, I rarely leave it out unless it's on the charger when I'm in bed. I don't get how people don't protect their devices in some way.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] SGSIIIUser:
The glass of this phone seems to cracked too easily, so I bought a case for this phone. This is the first phone I ever feel that need a case. I had the galaxy s and the iphone 4 and both were never in a case.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Orical:
I bought the GS3 at full price no contract or upgrade, I'm not trying to tell anyone how to take care of their things but if anyone is willing to just throw away 650$ because not having a case on their device is restricting then my hands are willing to catch it lol.

I also see these dark spots at night when viewing videos and surfing. I've had this phone for about a month now. Anything I can do?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mattedwards2686:
I have the bulkiest, ugliest case I could find, because I'm clumsy. It doesnt take much to crack the screen on these, especially with the rounded edges. You dont have to get a bulky case, but you should protect your investment.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] IXChicharitoXI:
I have a cruzerlite cover for my phone. I had to get a cover because the phone is so glossy and is very slippery imo. The case isn't big but it has nice grip and was very cheap.

How is that? I was thinking about getting one but I get mixed reviews.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] circuit.007:
Have been using my s3 naked pretty much since I got it. The only protection I have on it is a sgp glast protector. In total I've dropped it like maybe 3 times. Minor drops. No scratches or anything still looks good as new. I enjoy looking and using the phone without a case. So slim and thin. I understand if I drop it n break It it'll be my fault but I'm not that clumsy. Plus I have insurance just in case.

From FoxKat of Droid Forums: "Known issue with SAMOLED displays, said to be due to the adhesive used on the back to adhere it to the motherboard. There's nothing to worry about. It varies from almost non-existent for some, to large blotches for others. It's purely hit or miss if you get one that it's very visible."

I also have these spots too, I figured it was a hardware problem that's inevitable.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bighulk666:
For sure I got it in a case. Without one it'll slip out of my hands.

Guys. The dark spots have been determined to be a manufacturing issue. There's a whole thread in the t989 section. Had the sgs2 and had four replacements before I realized I didn't care that much about it. seriously its a gamble to keep goi g through replacements if you're going to be that nickpicky. Read that thread.you'll see what I'm talking about.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ingenious247:
Can't bring myself to keep a case on this phone. It really is a beautifully designed device, and you can't really appreciate it when it's in a case

Only thing I hate though is that the back cover gets micro-scratches on it no matter how careful you are.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Programs might expect su to be in /system/xbin rather than /system/bin, which is probably your case.

Also, use SuperSU instead of Superuser.

Also, make sure the su you're using is matching the relevant control program - which means, downloading Superuser from the Play Store won't help, if it can't work with the binary you have. So download a complete ZIP from XDA with SuperSU.apk and su binary, and use those. The last version I used was 0.89 and it was on XDA just like I described above.

[Windows 8 General] sohamssd:
Hey guys, i looked around and couldnt find a thread so here's one.

I want to know, how did you all install windows8 pro? Did you do a clean install or installed without wiping anything?

I read on the internet that you can't install windows with a full wipe. After you do that, Microsoft blocks the activation of product key even if it's legit. MS says that windows 8 pro is only meant as an upgrade. What the f*** does this mean? Why is Microsoft having any objections on how we use something that we have bought legally?:rolleyes:

Here's one article.

Let me know your thought on this. Did you face such an error while installing Windows?
[Windows 8 General] wtfhax:
I installed windows 8 without wiping. When im in windows 8 i backup everything i want then proceed to reset it to factory settings which it'll clean the c drive. Never had any problems with the activation. Oh i bought the online pro version which cost $39.99.

However the only problem i have is everytime it reboots my mouse will not work forcing me to restart again to get my mouse working. Otherwise its good.

// Edit:

Forgotten to mention it was an upgrade from windows 7.

I also did make the downloaded W8 installation into iso and make it into usb installation via windows 7 usb tool and install from the usb on top of windows 8 for a clean installation and everything works well too.

If problem still persist you may try to install windows 7 and upgrade from there then while you're in windows 8 do a factory reset which doesn't require you to insert the cd or usb for the reset (+1 for that feature though). That's just me~
[Windows 8 General] JihadSquad:
I got windows 8 Pro from dreamspark and it came as an iso. I burned it to a dvd and formatted my hard drive before installing.
[Windows 8 General] sohamssd:
Wtfhx, what does an upgrade even mean? Are we supposed to install win8 from the desktop of windows7? Or boot the PC from a CD and install from there? If it is the later, then how will it even know what is my operating system?
[Windows 8 General] wtfhax:
I installed windows 8 from windows 7 desktop as the installation was downloaded into my c drive. However i also tried installing from an usb from a direct boot into the usb (im sure it'll work the same as CD). Upgrading can only means you must have an existing OS such as windows 7 and install windows 8 from the CD inside windows 7.

Regarding to your problem about the activation caused by not an upgrade, i would suggest you to install windows 7 without activating it and run the windows 8 installation from the CD inside windows 7. I have not encountered your problem before but to troubleshoot it you may have to go extra length with what i have suggested. (Doesn't mean it'll 100% work)

Other ways to troubleshoot if the above fail is to try the usb installation with Windows 7 USB Tool. Before you use it you must turn your windows 8 installation cd into ISO with freewares like ImgBurn.

Not sure if any of these will help you but if both the solutions above fail, you may need to contact Microsoft or the dealer you purchased your copy of windows 8 about it.

// Edit

Wait are you having problem with the installation or you're just asking is there any problem with the installation?
[Windows 8 General] aegixnova:
You may do either. The installation handles everything. At some people, it may request your Windows 7 key and other times it detects the installation automatically.
[Windows 8 General] sohamssd:
I am not having any problem. I read that if you install windows8 using a clean install Microsoft won't let you activate the product key.

Just a question, did you click install Windows just like you'd any other game?
[Windows 8 General] wtfhax:
In that case, there is no problem whatsoever with my copy of installation downloaded from the Microsoft. Both installing from windows 7 desktop (Upgrading and yes it's like installing games) and usb booting installation (Considering it did not load my current OS first so this doesn't count as upgrading, i might be wrong), complete without the activation problem. Not sure about the physical copy but my guess is the result will still be the same. Others might have bought a bad copy of the installation disc, i don't know.

The best thing is, once you have windows 8 installed without any problem.. you do not need the installation files anymore. Reinstalling windows 8 can be done easily.
[Windows 8 General] sohamssd:
Have you read the article in the op ?
[Windows 8 General] Evil-Eye:
I bought the $40 "upgrade" and did a full wipe clean install. Nothing to it.
[Windows 8 General] jlangleyrn:
I did almost the same thing. I downloaded it from Microsoft and chose keep nothing , it loaded and I started with a clean laptop. I did not burn an iso or download it to an USB drive, I used the download.

Before I loaded win8 I used double driver and copied all my drivers to a backup, just in case I had an issue, I also did a full backup of everything else. I'm really enjoying it, but there are still a few places I use secure wifi that don't recognize windows 8 as being a valid os, they also dont recognize the windows defender as being a valid antivirus software, but otherwise I've been impressed. I was going to purchase a new laptop with a touch screen but I don't have any reason to now.
[Windows 8 General] sohamssd:
OK, to the above two guys, when you to activation settings in computer do you see windows8 is activated?
[Windows 8 General] DJxSpeedy:
i did an upgrade without getting anything over from win 7...
[Windows 8 General] WiseManWhite:
Just to preface, Windows had marked my system as not being genuine (I know this because Microsoft security essentials wouldn't allow me to install it). I updated on top of Windows 7 since didn't want to install all of my apps all over again. I download the update and installed it right from my hard drive as opposed to a usb or dvd, although I did make a backup copy of the windows 8 file just in case.

Everything is okay except it takes a while (roughly 15 minutes) for windows to recognize my Intel graphics chip right away. The screen will just be black after the Windows logo appears. Also, if you update directly from your hard drive, make sure you delete your temporary files because windows will keep the old OS and files. After clearing mine I freed up 32 GB!

*Update*

After installing windows 8 and enabling then installing the windows updates, my laptop boots up just fine now ( and mighty quick I add). As others have said, I don't believe windows cares if your version of windows 7 is genuine or not.
[Windows 8 General] altrstar:
Hi,

Thought I would share my experience:

I downloaded and installed the upgrade version. I was running Windows 7 Pro before.

After downloading the files, I wrote it to a disk and decided to do what I did for Win7, manual format and repartition my disks (I didnt trust the "Keep Nothing" option :P)

Unfortunately, I forgot I had a dynamic disk and my Win7 partition was booting off it - I formatted my C:\ and was met with a "Cannot create partition... / cannot install windows on dynamic disk"... it was a long painful process that took me most of the day to fix. Also, there is a bug with installing Win8 with multiple hard drives booting from disk or at least I had some trouble with it until I detached 2 of them for the install to progress.

After all that, the key wouldn't activate because it wasn't technically an upgrade... *face palm*

So, in went the Win7 disk, reinstalled and activated. After initial boot, I put in the Win8 CD and used the wizard and selected "Keep Nothing" ( At this point I couldn't care less)

All activated and now enjoying the system :)

Moral of the story:

- Stay away from dynamic disks on the boot partition, it'll warn you if you try - heed the warning!

- Multiple harddrives may cause issues with the install so you might need to disable them through bios or disconnect them from the mobo

- For me the Key only activated via an install, it wouldn't recognize it when I formatted C:\ through custom install.

- Did I mention? STAY AWAY FROM DYNAMIC DISKS!!!
[Windows 8 General] jlangleyrn:
Mine shows it being activated and has a link for me to click on which shows my product key and shows current edition : Windows 8 Pro with Media Center. The activation date isn't available but that's the only thing unavailable.

Hope this helps
[Windows 8 General] Evil-Eye:

[Windows 8 General] NeuroXT:
It's only the box copies that are sold in retail stores that are upgrade-only packages. A few will only sell full retail versions of Windows 8. These versions are more likely a hundred bucks more than the upgrade version. The copy downloaded from the Microsoft Store are full Windows 8 Pro copies.

I upgraded my notebook from within 7 no problem. My desktop i bought the upgrade, and installed from a USB that the upgrade advisor program created. However i formatted the HD before installing and did a clean install and

it never asked for any proof that i had windows 7 on my PC previously

. Its fully activated and fine.

I have heard that in some countries it will even let you upgrade a pirate copy of 7 if the upgrade advisor program doesn't flag it.
[Windows 8 General] n00b57:
Having an "Upgrade" Win8 can cause some install issues

I had recently bought a new PC with Win7. I found I could upgrade to Win8 from Microsoft for about $15, so I did. I have done many installs and re-installs since, because I then bought a 128 GB solid-state drive and wanted the OS to boot from that. I first installed Windows 8 to boot off a VHD file to see if I liked it enough to use daily. (I had done this with the Consumer Preview Win8 also). Windows 8 Fastboot, being able to automount ISO files and the xbox music app convinced me it would be worthwhile.

I did run into the issue with having an "Upgrade" version of Windows 8 at one point: I had disconnected my original hard disk to do a clean install of Windows 8 to the SSD, so it complained and would not proceed when it could not see the drive with Windows 7 on it. Not sure if I had the Windows 7 CD in a drive if it would have gone ahead or not. I was attempting to force the EFI partition to be installed on the SSD and used at boot. I managed to delete that partition from the original hard disk and then was able to clean-install Windows 8 Upgrade OK.

Change permissions to rw-r--r--.

AND also state whether its best for gaming, battery life, multitasking, etc.

AND state if its for R800i, R800x or R800at

AND state for which ROM it is for ( if it is ROM specific )

AND state which version:2.3.4, 2.3.3, 4.0.4, etc.
