I noticed my screen has black blotches in the screen that are only visible when you are in are dark room looking at a black (or dark gray) background. Both of these conditions must be met to see it. This is actually my second gs3, I returned my first one cause it did it really bad and I later noticed that the new one also did it. Can any of you guys confirm that yours also does this? Go to Google images and l search black and look at that image.

Just wanted to hear that it's normal, I figured it was the case after my second phone. It's hard to feel like your phone may possibly be defective when it's less than a week old. Looks great 99 percent of the time.

Has anyone who tried out this phone tested it for the screen lines/blobs issue that the S2 had?
I would also like to know this too the yellow tint issue, and black blobs. I had the issue in both my SGS 2 black and White...though in galaxy nexus it was vey negligible but still there . I hope its not in SGS 3
There seems to be a pink tint rather than yellow tint.

Should probably wait a bit before buying this phone, who knows what the probability is.
Bump. People should know about this before buying the phone.
Most of the screen won't have tint problems . But still people can check the screen using lcd test code before taking it to home

What about black crush issues? Is it all pixellated when viewing dark videos or images?

I hate this on my S2. Hopefully in a few days when people start getting their phones we will have these questions answered.

Has any S3 owner checked the issue about the pixelization when viewing dark videos or images?

Yup! I received my SGS3 yesterday, and after seeing this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1658601 I checked the Iron man Pepper Kiss video on Youtube and I did not notice any problems!
The pixelization is sometimes caused by poor encoding.
I received the phone yesterday.
Did the LCD tests.
All tests are crystal clear. RGB backgrounds look like glass and the black videos are deep blacks without pixalation of any form.
I also checked another thread talking about some kind of pixels that were appearing as different colour and this didn't occur either.
The screen works perfectly and it does look gorgeous despite that pentile screen debate.
If a phone doesn't perform as described by me (and many many others) then the phone is simply defective and will be covered by DOA.

I have a black spots on the screen I only see on a dark Rom and full Black wallpaper it's normal amoled screens ???

I have them too.
Black spots that are visible on black backgrounds are called ink spots. They are very common in AMOLED screens, since almost every AMOLED screen have them.
I have them too. Now I can't stare at a pure black screen in a dark room. Very upset

I am so happy I don't have any black spots on my sgs3 yet galaxy nexus and sgs2 had them
Believe me, you haven't noticed them yet. But they are there =)
Yeah I have them too. They are normal.
how bad is it?
I am about to buy the s3 tomorrow. Every night i watch series in bed on my galaxy s. I cannot have a screen with weird black spots. Are they easy to notice (mostly i use screen filter to dim my screen an extra 75%). I'm really afraid these will be very very visible.
I didn't notice them until I dropped my phone on its face and got a couple of mini-scratches on the screen... now they're very visible, but they appear only where the scratches are.
Black spots
I use S3 for 8 months and black spots on the screen increases ....
Do you have this on your screen guys? A

Yep there is a topic on it in general section I think. "ink marks" or something. Personally I think it is not a major problem. I have 2 or 3 tiny spots but most of the time we don't use the phone in a pitch black environment, nor are we looking at a pure black screen (how often do you spend in the homescreen?). It would however be an issue if it was noticable during movies, games etc, where the viewing experience is paramount

Yes true, it would be an issue if it was visible while watching movies and such.. but question is how long should this ink spot last compare to the other parts of the screen?
What does this ink indicate?
Yes I have them and it annoys me. And I don't understand why people defend it and say it's okay, we've all paid a lot of money for these phones how is it okay or acceptable to have black dots all over the screen? Yes it's only under very specific conditions but that's not the point, it is extremely annoying watching movies when they fade to black, when in the app launcher under dark conditions. And it's not just 1 or 2 small dots it's like someone broke a black pen and flicked it all over the screen.
It's just the way how the amoled is made. Every amoled has it. Don't worry. U won't notice that after while

I've only had the phone a few days now so I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt since everything I've read is saying you get used to it but...... It's there..... There are dots on the screen every time there's black, how do you get used to that? I understand every AMOLED screen has it but don't you think that if it's that big a problem then the screens aren't ready for prime time and need to improved? I've found myself using white everywhere when black is what saves battery on an AMOLED screen and black looks good on an AMOLED screen but I can't stand the dots.

I have it too, annoying to know they're there but not that big of a deal in every day use. Still buggers me every once in awhile tho.
So recently I noticed my screen has a blue spot when displaying white. It's slightly notice to be annoying. It's not visible with blacks and less so with other colors. What to do with warranty as a last resort? Will warranty claim actually fix the phone instead of replacing it?

Is a case applying pressure to the back of the phone. That's usually where the blue dot comes from. Something is applying pressure to the screen.

Its an isolated spot at the top of the keyboard it is about 2-3 mm wide. I will try taking it out of the case and see if it goes away.
Sometimes cases can put pressure on the screen and cause blue dots to appear.

I took it out of the case for at least 14 hours and nothing changed. I am okay with it as long as it doesnt spread. Really don't want to warranty it and get a locked DNA after running CM
I would kee it too, having a locked bootloader will be more irritating.
I've got a faint blue dot also and no case.

It happens to a lot of DNAs.. Idk something about internals pressing against screen.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
yep, if you push on the back between the htc logo and the other logos, you can see the ripple effect. there's a soft spot on there.
my first DNA had the issue, and i only used a TPU case. i'm thinking it was from having it in my pocket, screen facing out and crouching and sitting down and stuff. it would probably put pressure against the back and cause that ripple and that eventually led to a constant blue haze. i returned it right after noticing it..was very sad. lol
So this is a common issue then? I just noticed it on mine today. Will they fix it under warranty? I've only had the phone for about 2 weeks.

Did you guys with the blue dot send the phone out to get Jtagged?
If so, the blue dot is an overtightened screw (Did it to mine when I JTagged it... Pop the back off and loosen the screw a little bit... It might not ever go away, but it lessens he effect... Also lessens the possibility of the screen cracking from it)
So I noticed on my droid sms if I turn my auto brightness off and keep my screen on the brighter side and tilt the phone a certain way I see a green dot. When I til it to the right I see green, then red. The other way I see red then green. Straight on and if I tilt the top of the phone towards me the dot is no longer visible. I doubt its a stuck pixel due to how it acts. It is NOT visible on black or any other color from normal viewing angles. I saw a similar effect on my Razr HD when I had an otterbox on it due to a weird texture on the screen protector. Thanks for any help!

Do you have a case that is putting pressure on the back of the phone. Dots appearing are usually from pressure being pushed on the back of the phone.

I have the seidio surface case, but its literally like the size of a pixel. Its there without the case on as well. I remember seeing someone post about the HTC One having a similar problem and came to the conclusion it was an abnormality under the glass in the glue or something. I have a TINY piece of dirt under the digitizer as well but every other DNA I have owned had multiple dead and stuck pixels, horrible capacitive button bleed, backlight bleed, or extreme uneven backlighting. Most of these were a combination of pixels and backlight. So I'm keeping this one, just wondering if anyone else noticed this.

Nvm? I just find it odd it disappears at normal viewing angles. On my 32" from a few years ago I have a stuck green sub pixel and its only visible if I look directly at the screen head on. It wouldn't only appear at an angle if it was a stuck pixel, right? It also seems when I use Auto Brightness it is almost impossible to find, even at an angle. Its still there just need to use shaper angles. Its also a LOT dimmer than say, at 50-100% in the dark. During the day its almost not there when the screen gets brighter. In the sun it looks like there might be something above the spot but I'm not sure. Anyone else having this issue? It took me almost a week to find it.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
I didn't read your entire post.
Anyway, the pixels are so close together I can't imagine it being too noticeable. If you can see the green pixel at a certain brightness keep it at that brightness and run a dead pixel fixer.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
Well its not thay I see a green pixel. When I look at the screen normally its not there at all, at any brightness. If I tilt it away from me and to the left or right the dot becomes visible. To the right its green and then red if I tilt it farther. If I tilt it to the left it goes from red to green. They aren't bright. I had a DNA with a stuck green pixel and a stuck red one and this definitely isn't a stuck pixel. If it is, its news to me. They were obvious on everything. This one can't be seen unless I view my phone from an angle.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
Edit 2: I don't recommend it but you can rub the screen with the cap of a sharpee wrapped in something soft. This can damage the screen, so its up to you to try. I wouldn't worry about it if you can't see it during normal usage though.
Edit: you'll obviously have to rub kind of hard but use your best judgement.

I don't think its a problem unless your usually looking at your phone at an odd angle. If it really bothers you, you can always try to get a warranty replacement, but I severely doubt they would replace your phone for one broken pixel.

Yeah, plus I'm 99.9% sure its not broken or stuck... Again because it works on all colors like it should. I was just wondering if anyone else experienced this odd occurrence.
