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

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.

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.

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..

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?

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.

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.

this is a slight hardware problem that is sometimes fixable.

It was in store. Flashed ROM and recovery right. USB on my phone wouldn't connect to PC, so had no choice but to hope they couldn't tell. Well the tech new it was custom and replaced it free anyways and just asked if I wanted a white.

some people don't seem to understand the concept of "opinion".
There is no "better" when it comes to aesthetics. Its 100% subjective.
In my opinion this phone looks much better in black, but I find black hardware to be more appealing in general. Hence all of my phones, computer hardware , peripherals, TVs, car and truck, etc etc are all black. That's just me.
Some people like white cars, but its less common than you would think. There does seem to be a small trend in electronics & fashion for contrasting colors and whites.
All this aside: black will always be black. Its always going to look good while trends will come and go.

My husband initially had a white one, but I replaced his LCD and back door with black so it's black and silver. Looks like a giant iPhone - it really throws me off sometimes.
Of course my original epic touch 4g was the black one, but I now have the white one.. and its pretty sick in white..

I had a TMo Galaxy S 4G, so a white E4GT was a nice change in pace!
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.

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!

So I got my new Note 2 today and after playing with it for a couple of hours I noticed a yellow tint when viewing white colors. Like if I visit a website I know use a pure white bsckground, I can see that there is a yellow tint.
The weird thing though is that if I slighty tilt my device, either way, I can see pure white again.
I remember having the same issue with my sgs2 too.
So my question is, do anyone else have this issue? Should I return it or what?

These are amoled displays and with amoled displays after say 3 years of use you get something called "burn in" which make the blue LED lights get dim and dimmer over time which causes the screen to have an off look. You cau can prevent this by keeping your phone on low brightness and changing the screen style to "movie" which reduces the saturation of the colors. Even high end devices like the Note 2 will be eventually affected by this
