Horizontal Line Top Of Screen ?

I noticed a horizontal line on the top of my screen (0.25in below top) while using it in the dark last night and the screen test app (by amberfog) confirmed it.
I was wondering if others had the same thing or if they could check, perhaps its normal. Seems to be more visible on the red and grey screens..
Thanks,
Pete

it looks like burn-in from the notification bar o_o

I got it on mine as well... but only with red and not as noticable as yours... Hmmm why red?

def notification bar. Happens on amoled. Experienced it with my nexus and its creeping up on my galaxy s2 as well.

I guess you guys are probably correct with it being burn-in, is this normal to happen so quickly ? I mean the phone isnt even that old...

Rainbow color LED incoming call

Someone should make an app that cycles through a bunch of colors when there is an incoming call I wish I could do it! Just thought it would be cool

That would be pretty cool

App called light flow

It doesn't cycle colors does it?

no it doesn't. and there is no option for when there is an incoming call

i used an app called led disco for my sms notifications and it worked, sadly it didnt work well enough, you can still test the function though and it is pretty cool.

Maybe you should begin a bounty...
Sent via a butterfly wing flap generated program. As its delicate wings flap once, disturbances ripple outward, changing the flow of the eddy currents in the upper atmosphere. This causes momentary pockets of high pressure which act as lenses, deflecting cosmic rays, focusing them to strike the drive platter and flip the desired bit. That's how real programmers do it.

It's a pretty cool idea!

Whites

What color are your whites? Mines is a dull yellow.. is that normal? Maybe defect?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk

My white is white... If you are suffering from discoloration I would get it replaced. This is not supposed to happen.

Defect. Return in
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2

Well not every phone is gong to be the same exact color...example galaxy nexus. I had same problem but wasnr going to return my phone as everything else was perfect. Before returning it tho try morfics trinity kernel and see what u think. Colors are awesome on that definitely changed my mind from returning this thing. And i know u shouldnt have to flash a kernel to get good colors but hey after all u are on a website that modifys android phones

..

The galaxy s3 white isn't really white, it's more of a pearl white.

in the browser click -- menu..brightness and colors and make sure automatic brightness is checked off

Its not the browser its just the screen it's the Same in every app, I may have to get a replacement. I'll wait because Samsung is rushing phones to meet demands & those may be faulty.

yeah it seems like phone is faulty.. give it sometime and then get a replacement

When I got my Galaxy S3 I was suprised how much more white whites were on it than my GS2, you should definitely send it back and get it replaced. Whites should be white on this phone.

Go to settings, display, uncheck auto adjust screen tone.. It makes the screen/whites look much brighter..

Question about Menu and Back Button

I tried to search through the forums but could not find the answer. I have two sprint Galaxy S3 32 GB Pebble Blue.
They almost look same except on one menu and back button are clearly marked with some kind of ink. So they are visible without any lighting (i.e. even when battery is out).
On the second one, Back and Menu button are totally invisible until it lights up when touched.
Does anyone know about this difference or if there is any quality difference between the two?

Mine aren't lit up. I have no clue about that. They aren't supposed to be like that

Maybe it's a defective piece. The one with painted menu and back button gets hot sometimes while the other one stays cool all the time. Also I have noted that when I make a call sometimes I cannot hear anything on the one with painted buttons. I have to disconnect and call again to fix that.

Thanks for the information. It's going back to sprint.

It's shows like the buttons never turn off completely. So yes go back to Sprint.

Pebble blue capacitive buttons dim?

Has anyone noticed that some pebble blue Galaxy S III's capacitive buttons are dim? I was looking at my friends Pebble Blue S3 to get S-Beam to work and I noticed his buttons were very bright and noticeable. I then looked at mine and it was ridiculous how dim mine were compared to his! Has anyone noticed that with theirs?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using XDA Premium HD app

Mine are dim too. Doesn't really bother me though

I keep them off all the time.

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

I've decided to do the same. That was one of my only gripes, realized the phone looks so much better now with them off. Cm and TW offer. JellyBean TW has them off at all times unless you use them, but they wont turn on when you touch the screen which is nice but overall off is better.

Pm djintrigue he has it

I've noticed that the blue is slightly dimmer as well.
It's not a big grippe though, like everyone else in this thread, I keep mine off.
It's less-obtrusive at night, and it saves a little battery as well.
