I thought I have a broken screen! [lock screen bug] - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

anyone noticed the light color patch on the right side of lock screen when you apply a dark wallpaper and ripple effect is ON?
It looked something like below:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
removing the ripple effect fixes the light color patch. :good:

That thing is actually a ripple, you want to get rid of that nice effect, weird!

Maybe my kindergarten had failed me, but don't you mean the left side?

It's actually the right one, facing the phone
The thing in the left is a ripple when i took a screen shot.

Turn off the ripple effect and problem will be solved its usually cause of black wallpaper... No one at Samsung tested lockscreen with black wallpaper

is that a serious question?
I use it to change brightness and enable/disable bluetooth when getting into my car.
oops double post.
You do know all of that is available in the drop down tray. Including brightness. Just slide your finger across the tray left and right

not if it's on auto
plus, why not use it.
Maybe the OP doesn't feel like sliding down the notification bar.
To turn on BT I can
1) Hit the button on the power widget on my home screen
or
2) slide down notificiation, hit the BT icon, which opens up the BT settings, click enable BT... then hit back to return to my homescreen.
^ apologies, it just doesn't seem "simple clean" to me.....
"simple clean" is referring to the wallpaper... not the widgets/apps setup
eww, toooo many "samsung" on this phone already. =P
I kind of like it.
+1 to frankencat.
I love the samsung aspect to this phone.

white horizontal bars when on lock screen ?

hi
i searched for this issue and the closest thing i found was this
here which happens at the lock screen only
1. its software
since it shows in screen capture it has to be software
i got a bad pc display but if i zoom in i can see the lines fairly well
it only happens at the lock screen
http://i54.tinypic.com/2dl3rlw.jpg

Isn't it just your lockscreen background which is faulty?
I see no line on your added picture. Then this would be a hardware defect. Which I actually doubt though

You need to view the screen cap on a different device/computer. If you view it on the affected screen, of course it will appear in screen capture.
Viewed your attached file on my desktop and I see no lines. It might be your phone's screen!

Capacitive buttons turning... pink?

I've had my phone almost a week now and I've noticed that my capacitive buttons went from a light red to now almost a hot pink... anyone else have this problem? Seems like maybe the heat or light from the LED's are causing the red to fade quickly.

try and get a pic of it
Mine are hot pink also. I thought that's how it always was?
To quote Paris Hilton though... "that's hot!"
First post updated with pic. Notice how red the wall paper is compared to the buttons.
wow that is pretty pink lol

Haha
Ive found a temporary solution however... download the app Screen Filter, set it to 100% and uncheck Enable soft-key backlight. This will allow the screen to be at normal brightness but have the capacitive key lighting turned off.
Thats not good. Hope that's not gonna be a wide spread issue. I've had my phone since Saturday and no issues yet.

This reminds me of the "brushed nickel" on the TB kickstand. Started peeling off after 2 weeks.
Hmm I've had mine since release day and mine still seem to be a normal shade.

What 'trail light effect'?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
My guess would be as you drag your finger around the screen a light trail follows your finger around... It would have to fade out though as you move around the screen like a comet so the effect would look really nice...
But not heard or seen one in any themes or rom as yet (if thats what you mean)...
First :UpUpUp:
Then...

Yellow tint...is this normal?

I have a TF201 and it has a warmer yellow tone to it.
Watching Simpsons on it looks great but other than that, watching regular stuff the skin tones are overly yellowing.
Here's a picture of what I mean:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The paper is supposed to be white...the lack of lighting in the room makes it look bluish...but you can compare the difference.
Thoughts?
Am I being overly picky here?
Others have reported a yellow tint.
My screen also is too yellow, but I didn't want to return my Prime because of the chance of getting one that was defective in a more serious way! There is a relatively simple solution if the yellow tone is bothering you -- use an app like Screen Adjuster than can change the tint of the display. There are plenty of other apps that may be better, but I haven't tried them.
Note that Screen Adjuster does not have a "decrease yellow" option -- using colour theory, I instead added blue.
Also, if you want something to show up as white in photos, learn to use your camera's White Balance feature!
Do you have it in power saving mode?

Power saving mode supposedly just reduces contrast, it isn't supposed to alter colour balance. I find I have the yellow tint regardless of which mode I choose.
