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...

Heres a link... Actually it looks like the OG Epic, but the description says E4GT

I'd check with your local sprint repair center. Sometimes they will sell parts or know who will sell them.

i just replaced my scree/digitizer last weekend. they're typically pretty expensive like previous posts have linked to, unless you get them on ebay. its really just about getting lucky on the timing - i got one for $65 shipped, but the cheap ones i found last week ended already.
you could try your luck waiting for an other surge of deals in a week or two, but here are a couple i found ending soon
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...ultDomain_0&hash=item4ab4b209b1#ht_500wt_1085
http://www.ebay.com/itm/White-Galax...ultDomain_0&hash=item231a7c0ab2#ht_500wt_1085
i suggest you ask as many questions until your comfortable so if anything goes wrong with the product you have the sellers words that it should be functioning and in good condition and you could get ur money back even if the seller asks for no returns
and just to be safe, i'll refer you to this so you have an idea of what ur doing:
http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung-Epic-4G-Touch-Teardown/6481/1
and, of course be gentle ESPECIALLY with the screen/digitizer. i was too rough on my original screen so glass shards got into the screen and murdered it, but now its good as gold. i would have made a video of taking it apart and putting it back together but i dont have a camera other than my E4GT

ahhhh that makes sense, when you read it like that. Sorry OP disregard the link...
Or the black. Let's do a poll. I just had to get a replacement and the rep hooked me up with a white, he says it us very popular and is sold fast. So i'm wondering how rare it is. It is a beauty ill tell ya.
Please complete the poll i'm just curious thanks.
Black...I had a choice, but I guess I'm weird. Everyone seems to like the white one better.

I purchased the white one when it was $99 on amazon... and now they're selling it for 1 penny! LOL Either way, I'm still selling my soul to sprint for these monthly bills and piss poor data speeds in socal... Sometimes I regret not waiting for the galaxy note on ATT, but then I look at how sexy my phone is and the EPIC development brought by T.C.P., calkulin, mijjah, and darchstar and everyone else!
I'm still looking for a nice case that compliments the color of the white epic touch. I currently have the CIMO S-line transparent TPU case bought off of amazon, thinking it would show off the white. I love the grip on this and how it adds much needed bulk, but I'm not feeling the "clear" of the case.
I had both,now i got white and it looks better because it makes screen look larger and i like the way android buttons are lit-its extra vibrant unlike black one.
If you wanna impress the hoes then get white one.

I got the black one. The white looks pretty nice, but I personally prefer black.
I prefer black phones myself. As far as the ladies go, my phones only get me in trouble with them because they assume I am talking to someone else....especially when I am on XDA

they're calling that 'Stormtrooper' look...
Started with black, gave it to the wife the day they released the white one. I love it because people only really know of white iPhones and when they see this they are like "wtf, where did you get something cooler than the iPhone?!" And I am like "there are lots of cooler phones than the iPhone, idiot." Then I proceed to blow their MINDS with Android awesomeness!

How easy does the silver paint chip/wear off? I was thinking about going white over black, but didn't know if the white will start looking worn faster.
I just got my white e4gt 2 weeks ago so I can't really comment on how the paint will hold up but it seems like it will be just fine. I do know I like the look a whole lot better then my black one and the smooth back feels nicer too so I would definitely recommend it
Had mine for about 5 months now and doesn't show any wear yet. Still happy with it, have the Best Buy Black Tie program and haven't used it once!
The paint does not chip off...I have a case though... using for over 5 months
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I just picked up a used one. It has chips in the silver paint. Not a big deal for the price I paid. I guess if you scratch or bump it hard enough it could be an issue.
had white housing on for about 2 months now, no paint missing or chipped or anything.
I've thrown my phone of course with the ballistic case on it and not one chip
From the 2nd galaxy
I usually use the Seidio spring holster. The bottom corners of the phone sit in the holster points and I am thinking these may cause some wear.
Ive had mine for months love the look of it so i got the clear case for it and the mirror screen protector and it looks really good like that no chipping or issues yet.
Mine still looks great!
Can black, asian, latino, etc Epic Touch owners answer too? Sheesh, this seems over the top.
Picked mine up right after launch of the white version. No scratches at all.

Without more punctuation, your question is directed at white owners of the E4GT.
It doesnt chip. I got mine almost a month ago and no chipping. It even still smells brand new. Lol I love this phone. :thumbup:

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

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!
