In the lower left hand corner of my screen I've noticed a thumb sized yellow discoloration on my screen. Anyone else have this issue? Its not bad now but I would hate for it to get worse...

Yep. Me too. Mine's been around for quite a while. I posted about it in some other thread someone started, maybe a month or 2 ago. So far I haven't noticed it really growing, and it hasn't affected operation/touch sensitivity that I can see. It's just WICKED ugly on stuff with white backgrounds.
I run lots of black backgrounds / themes (because I like them) so that hides it to a fairly good extent.
I have Best Buy insurance so I'm sure I could return it, and I will if it gets worse - but I'm kind of holding out just cause it would be a pain to re-stockify the thing, then get into best buy, then have to get a refurb and get it re-rooted and set up. Not that that is a huge deal, but the yellow spot doesn't bother me quite enough yet to push me to do that...
Mine appeared about a month after I got the phone. Same spot

Yeah.. I really don't feel like going back to stock, then having to re-rom. Especially since I don't know how the newer version that the lgog comes with will handle freegee and stuff.

I've been told it is glue holding things together melting. Not a huge issue but it causes dead spots.

I have the same issue on the exact same spot, would this be covered under att warranty?

Hi guys
On my SGS2 when the touch buttons are lite part of the light seeps through the gap of the hard button. Does anyone else have this?
I can only see it when it's pretty dark but its very annoying.
I don't have this :s
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Yeah, I have it too, but it's not too bad and only visible from certain angles and in a dark room.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Yeah I sometimes have itbut almost rarely, and like the other guy said only from certain angles when I'm looking for it. I put pressure on the button in that direction and it disappears usually

Ive got this very slightly on the right hand side. I also notice when im reading a web page with a black background the very bottom left has a white spot/pixel, it goes away when you start scrolling. Anyone else got the same problem?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Glad im not the only one who has this. Worth returning over?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Personally It doesn't bother me, its hard to notice and even when I can see it, its really tiny. So to me not a problem

Im guessing you have Optus stock as well?
When you look at the touch button straight on can you see the light?
Mine has the same issue but i dont care.
I can only see it when I'm using the phone when it's completely dark
My wife has a mole but shes still beautiful, can we not get a little obsessed with perfection with our phones? It is after all the slimmest, lightest, dual core power house smart phone out there....forgive its quirks?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
My phone did this at first but it went away after a couple weeks as the home button got better seated through use. Definitely not worth returning over.
same here, right hand side!
this was the reason for me to switch off the button lights in settings. looks better anyway
It has to be pretty dark...
didnt realise you could turn the light off
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
send it back, complain to samsung, demand they redesign the handset!
erm...
This will make it heavier and bulkier!!!
Happens to mine and there is NO PROBLEM with it. Be happy!

And more expensive. All these perfectly good handsets getting returned for new ones have to be paid for somehow.
I switched mine off looks so much better, per sonly I wish it was all black like the nexus s, i think that looks so sexy
Have it too, but dont matter !! I am a perfectionist too ( 620 euros it is for a phone !! ) but i think... i mean ... returning it for this????
If it is same as anyone elses in here its BARELY visible and you should try to find it again.. enjoy your phone. ( there are great chances of getting a same unit back, cause its a design thing i think )
Hey,
have it as well. But I don't really mind.

I was youtubing and this is what my blacks look like. Is this normal?

Is that a screen shot? It looks good to me. You would have to take a picture of the problem with a camera to show us how it looks to you.

NO, IT IS NOT NORMAL. There is an issue with the gnote and its black's. I would like to say 8 of 10 ppl are dealing with it. You can see the black blotch is very clear on the right side of your picture. No phone should do this. A fix should be coming with ICS, I hope

There is no guarentee that there will be a fix for ICS. Most likely, we will have to deal with it.

Yes it is this bad. Mine is the same or worse on ics.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Yes its pretty bad. The lower the brightness the more visible it is on my note. Its kind of a buzkill when looking at my wifes HOXL and seeing perfect blending and no blotchy blacks.
Its gotta be a software issue, cuz I think I read somewhere the one x and note use the same panel tech right?
Sent from my SGH-I717R using xda premium
Sadly, the black crush problem, or "black clipping," is a very well known issue on both the i717 and n7000 Notes. It doesn't look like the official ICS update is going to fix the problem, but at least one n7000 developer, Supercurio, says he may be able to fix it once we have the official ICS source code.
Even though the problem affects nearly every Note, Samsung has never even acknowledged that the problem exists.
Keep your fingers crossed...
Wow, big surprise to me. I was sort of annoyed at the small size of the notification light on the side of the screen, but I just realized that they put one on the back of the phone, and its much larger. Cool!
Yep

It was one of the new main features of the phone besides the screen and internals
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
Yep. Most of the time I'm using the phone for voice chat (phone call or VOIP usually), the phone is face down. It automatically switches to speaker when the phone is face down so all you need to do is either hit call or hit answer and place the phone on your coffee table while you work. Very convenient feature and you don't have to worry about missing notifications while it's face down because of the rear notification light. This also applies when you leave the room for a bit and return. I personally love the feature but from what I've heard, other people consider it a nuisance. To each his own I suppose.
I haven't really noticed it, seems kinda useless.
Too bad most of the cases cover it

That's probably why I didn't notice it. Mine has been wrapped in Otter Box since day one... Gonna have to pull the case just to check it out lol

After using my phone for a while today, a yellow spot appeared in the lower left corner. It isn't part of the normal screen, and appears over any whitish colors. It looks like a cigarette smoke stain almost. It won't go away, and is very noticeable over white, though it's invisible over dark colors. Does that sound like a damaged screen?
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
How long ago did you get the phone? I recall someone talking about something similar with the nexus 4, where it was the glue holding the screen on was not fully cured, causing it to have yellow spots.
Edit: Here is the thread I saw it on: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1990276 Does it look like that?

Somewhat, but lighter in a different location. Probably the same thing. I've had it since November 20 or so. Crap. First my casing split and now this... for such a well built phone it sure has a lot of issues with build....

I also have the blue tint at the top of the screen one of the links posted talked about. Well fantastic. The best phone ever has paper skin and glass bones.

Is there a mod allowing (with a button combination) to disable completely the touchscreen while leaving the screen on?
When I show a picture around, if anybody grabs my phone, 99% of the times they end up touching the screen (especially if they are not familiar with the SGS3 thin borders) messing up the display.
***** slap anyone who grabs the phone.. Problem sorted

Depending on the nature of the picture, sometimes they grab it anyway...
