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.

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.

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..

Getting a "certified like new" gnex what should I look for

Just like the title says. What are some things that are commonly wrong with the replacements?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Power button can become worn down rather quick, make sure if "clicks" and feels like the volume rocker.

Go into settings so you have a gray background then pull down the notification pane. Check for excessive purple on the gray colors.

I got a CLN replacement and minus a little purple tint which I can live with the device is flawless. The 4G radios have not locked up once in the one week I have had it! Good luck on yours.....

Get one of those dead pixel checking apps or use a all white screen and check for dead or stuck pixels.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

I wouldn't check for dead pixels unless you're guaranteed 0 dead pixel.
Normally you wouldn't notice a few dead spots on the screen, but once you know where they are, they will become very noticeable.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

I had a stuck blue pixel on my first replacement right in the upper center of the display. It was instantly visible on a white background.

I got one with a big scratch and crap radio and one that had animal hair stuck all over the sticky plastic wrap that wouldn't charge. So, op, be prepared for ANYTHING.

[Q] Yellow tint on new Note 2

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?

A lot of s3 have yellow on whites, i guess that some note 2s will have some yellow tints to some extent, seems Samsung hasn't completely solved the tint issue on amoleds...if you have a tint on your phone there is not much you can do, if u can try and get it replaced

Gnex burn in

I was just wondering if anyone else is having this problem... The white area where my music controls are has burned in.. I am running a fixer now but it is kind of annoying seeing music controls on everything.

I have lot of burn in on my GNex Screen.
It is 11 months old. Have this on all my AMOLED Phones. Blue OLEDS dies faster.
Need new one!

ahhhh bummer.... all well i am out of contract waiting for either the note 2 or the nexus 2....
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using Tapatalk 2

how are you guys burning these?! do you set it to never turn off display while charging? i had a nexus s for like a year, then my g-nex in april. never seen this happen. just curious if you guys just got bad screens or abusing them.

Pro tip: This is covered under warranty.

I got screen burn too! I read other people have had warranty replacements because of this issue. I'm going to get a warranty replacement also then sell it LOL use the money for a new phone.

Hey, Super AMOLEDs are nice!

According to this thread over here, there is conflicting information on this being covered under warranty. Which is why id prefer to see official documentation on this

i could attach a photo with the papers, or you can take my word for it: it's covered by warranty. i've bought my phone and the next day it was in service 'cause the screen was burned like hell. new screen, no payment, me happy.

I called and they said my burn in was covered..... they just needed to see my phone and make sure the water triggers weren't tripped. which they are
ARGH WTF..... they totally get out of warranty because of it... BS totally different issue that doesn't even effect the phone.

You could always use some white out so they won't be able to tell.

What???? The water indicators have little red X's on them, which smear when they contact water or high moisture. What would white out do?
Edit: and for future reference, is there a place to purchase these stickers? I've read a few other products that had their water indicators tripped for no apparent reason (MacBooks... but I don't own one!)
Edit 2: there are a bunch of housings on eBay that come with the water indicators. Perhaps you could try those if you don't mind dis/re-assembling. BTW, are there any other warranty indicators on this phone besides the water stickers?

No, but they replaced mine free of charge because of ghosting.

almost all AMOLED panels have burn-in issue. its a big issue here in Korea.

There definetively are som issues with the screen. After making my GN 'fullscreen' I noticed the black area where the softkeys used to be is having a more bluish hue. I believe this is to the rest of the screen aging differently because of the screentype AMOLED (super). Taking this into account it wouldnt surprise me if the screen is getting burnins etc

All this hassle is probably not worth it for me... I am out of contract and trying to figure out which new phone to buy. The note 2 or the nexus 4. I am planning on using my old nexus as a dedicated music player and GPS for my car though.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

The only burn in I have is from my nav bar, and statues bar, can't do much about those!

I have status bar burn in as well. Hard to see unless the screen is fully black.

Dead pixel or crushing?

I see this whenever I have a dark grey background. Can only see it in a dark room.

Didn't want to start another thread so im adding to this one. Today I just noticed a dead pixel. Just showed up since I placed it in my pocket, took it out 10 min later and there it was. I stuck red pixel on my beautiful screen. (Waves fist in the air) "Nooooooooooooo!" . I did try a few tools that claim to unstuck pixels. Didn't work so I will be returning it in the morning for a replacement.
Anyone else have this issue chime in. I think its just a random issue but if plenty of people have this problem then we probably need to be concerned. Performing a search indicates its a very rare issue though so I doubt there will be many out there that will even find this looking for an answer.
