How's your screen?

I think this is a question many of us have after the SGSII overseas problem.
Well for those of you that have it, and those getting it soon, how's your screen? Notice any bluish/yellowish tint?
I plan on getting one tomorrow, but this is the one possible problem that im worried about.

I've had 2 AMOLED screens so far, Moment and NS4G... I think we need to be honest here. This is not a reference screen. The colors and saturation levels and black point are all tweaked to death...and that will look sugary sweet and awesome for nearly everything. It's a phone not a production studio monitor. But, white's not being perfectly white is something that shouldn't be unexpected...and I would be shocked if you'd ever notice it ever again (without some boring TFT to compared it directly next to....and the TFT would look washed out and purple/blueish/yellowish)......
I mean, failures happen...if your screen looks like complete **** do something about it, but, compared to your typical ****ty LCD or your above-average professional grade reference monitor it will no match up at all... it's sweetened up to look good...color bias will happen and should be expected in comparison to just about anything.
Don't except a turd but don't drive yourself crazy looking for perfection--it doesn't exist and it isn't the point either.

I'm no perfectionist. Just check out the screen issue thread over in the SGS2 forum. Hey had multiple issues like yellowish tint on one side but not the other, bluish tint, lines, etc. Just curious if this will be as bad here as it was there

JUST DID FULL BRIGHTNESS ON BROWSER. on main google page, the page is as white as it gets, no tint what so ever. I am very happy with the screen.
I kinda love this setting, open up browser, click setting and you can set browser brightness.

No tint issues, don't feel any difference between epic vs epic touch...

Epic 4g Touch compared to a G2x

I decided to make a video comparing my epic touch to a now sold g2x. I always thought the g2x was pretty quick and didn't have problems with the speed, just reboots and lcd backlight. I'm glad to say I haven't had those issues with my samsung phone.
Overall I think the Epic is faster, not by a huge margin though. The battery life is absolutely amazing and don't have any complains.

I loved my g2x.... But the back lightbleeding and overheating killed it for me...
Btw love talons as well I got a boosted 93 tsi

Super Amoled Plus is definitely more enjoyable for watching movies instead of that white backlight.

I've seen this in another video, and they said it's the camera trying to focus, so I guess that's what the noise is. I didn't hear it while recording.

You guys talking about backlight issues, is that anything like the "light seepage," I experienced on 3 brand new EVOs out of the box? It wasn't huge and didn't effect function, but it did look "cheap."

Yeah its the same
Poor manufacturing and quality checks in my opinion... Not all phonds do it but the og evo had the worst ive seen... all by the capacitive buttons...
On the g2x it was really bad in the corners
I made a youtube video comparing 2 g2x's sids by side (search nate93dsm)

(Q) HELP Weird screen color blue-ish/yellow tint

Yesterday a teacher of mine took my phone and when I got home the screen started to fizzle. It has a blue-ish tint now and washed out colors.
What can be the problem & how can it be fixed w/o going to sprint?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App

Definitely a hardware issue. If you have TEP then it should be free to fix and 35 if not (bill the teacher lol). Take it to a sprint repair center.

The areas where I touch is regular, but the colors are all washed out or have a blue or yellow tint by default. My screen isn't cracked if you were thinking that.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App

You actually give the phone to the teacher? Wow, much has changed since I've gone to school.
This is why I don't trust people with $500 phones...
Your best bet is to go though Sprint, like others have said.

Are there any bubbles on the screen? I'm trying to figure out if ur teacher dropped the phone and didn't tell u, or if they got any liquid in the phone. Because that sounds like a screen bleeding problem.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

Since I'm in a nearly all girls semi-strict high school we could get suspensed or kicked out for not obeying the teachers(men are treated in my school like a black man in the 40s no rights at all) . And I'm thinking the teacher put pressure on the screen when he took it away from my friend, I seen him put it in his pocket with other people phones. When I approached him about it he denied it, which I knew he would do.

There's no bubbles it's just the color is so off
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App

ok...yes, the screen has a bleeding problem. it's from the inner part of the screen. he put to much pressure on it. it's like when you press your finger on a computer screen and you get that funny discolorization... thats what happened. can you see the normal stuff on the screen though? or is there to much color on it?
this is a slight hardware problem that is sometimes fixable.

Red Dot On My Screen!

I dropped my phone yesterday and since then I see a small visible red dot on my screen! do u think i'll get this phone replaced from sprint?

no!........

Is there physical damage to the phone other than the dot? Assuming there is not, and no water damage, they would probably repair/replace if you don't mention it was from a fall.

It's bleeding, apply direct pressure!
Sent from some phone.

When I had the OG Epic I had a pixel go bad so there was one green dot continuously on my phone. It drove me nuts. It was only a week old. I took it to get exchanged and they told me that there had to be 5 dead pixels for it to be eligible for exchange. I had to do some light negotiations saying I bought 3 lines, insurance on all, accessories, etc all from the Sprint store and they finally swapped it for a new one.

well no other physical damage, man oh man this sucks.. well i do have the equipment protection plan i'll go to sprint store and check it out..

Why people post this things in here.. You know there are lots of sprint tech/employees lurking in the shadows
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

It was a question. It is allowed to ask a question. Op isn't trying to fraud sprint. Besides why have protection that covers a fall if you can't drop it. Op take it in or get an app that helps stuck pixels.

Blue screen?

I am curious if anyone here has ever had their screen suddenly have BLUE everywhere?I just picked it up and there is this crazy light blue tint that is almost on the entire screen.
It is def a hardware issue because it happens in recovery and on boot as well. I can literally watch the blue kind of "dance around" and flicker while I am typing this...
Is this something that TEP will cover? Is there any special things I should take in to consideration? This is awful!

Is the display off? It seems samsungs samoled screens have a blue tint to them.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda app-developers app

I guess I did not clarify adequately.
This is when the screen is on. It is just blue artifacting that covers the screen and moves around. It has a slight "ripple" effect as if a liquid is flowing... Blotches and some slight flashing as well. All of it is a very faint yet pronounced blue color that has me convinced that my display is ruined. This makes no sense as the phone was just charging undisturbed for awhile and it Def was not like this previously.
This is definitely not the slight blue tint that these are known for but rather, I think, a completely random/sudden busted display
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

In turning the brightness up I can now see that all my colors are ruined, not just light blue.
The closest thing I can describe this as is "16 bit " color mode on old school crt monitors.

I've only had it randomly happen one time a while ago. It sounds like something hardware wise is messed up. I'd say flash back to stock and try and get a replacement from sprint.

Does not work that way. The devices that you can switch to have to be on the exchange list.for the epic touch. The only close option is the EVO 3D

So it was a hardware issue. The tech told me that he "replaced the screen" without any further details. Overall I was in and out within thirty minutes, no questions asked, no money exchanged. It looks great now! Pristine without the scratches I had previously (burning man dust / sand murders the glass, never bringing a phone there again) and no more 16-bit color mode!
