Dramatic Difference In Screen Quality (PIC Added)

I just received my replacement t989 from TMobile, and realized my original phone's screen quality was horrible! I powered them on side by side, and my new phone looks clear as day with bold colors, and my original phone looks distorted and VERY yellow! I will post pictures after work. Has anyone else noticed this?

Yes. Also got a replacement recently and I can attest the screens have gotten better on the newer-made phones.

Updated OP with a picture I took of them side by side. You can clearly tell which one is which.

Same here, my previous t989 screen was crappy and the moment I turned on my replacement phone I noticed a huge difference with the screen quality, felt like I am using a whole new phone.

I haven't got a replacement for my s2 but I've received for other phones from TMobile...i was just answering you...and yes they are refurbished...
But I'd like to know how long they had their s2's before they got the refurbs...maybe the screen degrades really fast...

So do you think this super amoled screen goes bad quickly or do you think the refurb really has a better screen? Because I'll warrantee right now...

You should be able to warranty exchange tour phone up to a year from the purchase date

I think the replacement just has a better screen. I don't see them degrading to that extent, especially in this short of time.
If you have insurance T-Mobile discounts the exchange to only $5 and you get free overnight shipping.

It was free, but they changed it to $5. It's worth it though since they added overnight shipping.

How is the S III development on AT&T ?

I placed a order for the S III since Verizon can't get my area straight for the nexus. So I was hoping to see how the development was going for the att brand ?

Not only did they give us JB, they got it to us first of the 4 major US carriers!!!
way to go Sprint!!!

Yeah I will admit, props to Sprint.

I'm sure there are about a hundred other threads saying the exact same thing.

JB is amazing so far.. way faster, home button works much quicker even with s voice linked to it, love the next notification menu, and all of that.. even made our benchmark much much higher

JB is nice. It would also be nice if people started removing the sigs from Tapatalk :/

I agree im so happy all around. 1st of all this phone was flat out amazing out the box. I love the way this phone was marketed...all of the support and it seems like every accessory company is making things for this phone. This update was like getting a late christmas gift from your aunt in the mail lol.

Who could tell.... No matter how long it's on the charger for, it still won't work longer then 5 minutes...
HTC = Have To Charge

It looks like the S4 will be using an exynos CPU so that means no support on xda. Qualcomm would have been a better choice for S4.

Sorry can you fill me in why? Does the international S3 get no support b/c of this?

I would switch on and off with my nexus 4

Gs4 camera in gs3

Is it possible to actually install the gs4 camera in the gs3? I know people are working with putting the apps in here but I'm talking about the actual camera.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Is it possible? Probably. Has it been done? Don't think so.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

NO.
The camera is not an huge improvement over the s3 and even if it would be possible it wouldn't be worth the hassle

That's a nice opinion you have there.
I think the GS4 camera looks ace and I've wanted on my GS3 since it's been shown.

It is good and looks good design wise I agree however I think the s3 can do enough as a camera on a smartphone.
if I'd needed to take pictures each 2 seconds and needed detailed/good pics I would have definitely bought the Samsung galaxy camera.
