I've searched threads here and most of them talk about pink spots on the camera. I just bought a new T-Mo GS3, i rooted it, and then installed a stock rooted rom from here.
I don't know if it was like this out of the box, but i went on dropbox and the app is mostly white, so on the top of the screen there is like a pink spot. It's mostly visible when the phones on an app or something thats white but even when its not, its still there, just less visible. Is this a defective unit or something? :/
it's a defective unit. If you're in the exchange period take it back. This is my second white one. The first had a pink blob in the lower right hand corner you could only see on a white web page

The first thing I did with my S3 was checking the screen. My first blue one has a pink tilted screen so I exchanged it. the screen is the most important so yeah. you should exchange it asap
Damn. I bought it on ebay, no refunds. Can i just replace the screen?
I'd contact Samsung. Physical (hardware) defects are still under warranty. Should be for at least a year

So a couple of months a go I came here for help replacing my screen and that all went swimmingly, thanks for that by the way
Before the screen broke though, i when the screen popped up I had red/blue tints everywhere and stuff, somebody told me it was a damaged cable in the middle. This carried on after my screen replacement and was manageable because it went after fiddling for a bit. But now it always does it and it isn't just red and blue tints, now I'm getting orange, purples and greens everywhere when the screens flipped up and red and blue when it isn't. So I was wondering if there was anywhere I could get a replacement cable or main insides or something in the uk?

this place is awesome and should have what u need as long as u dont mind s+h
Thanks dude but I wasn't looking for a replacement screen, I meant the insides of the actual phone or the cable that connects the two halves of the phone together

i was under the impression the site has them...maybe im wrong but if u click the link and scroll left...browse the listings and i thought i saw it under flex cables (if thats what ur talking about)
Okay, so I dropped my phone the other day, first time ever and the screen started to turn pink in the spot that I dropped it on, and the pink is growing. What the hell is going on?
Attached picture shows pink area
That's phonjunctivitis, or more commonly known as pink screen.
seriously, I don't think you can do anything for that. I think the green pixels are dying.
You have two choices:
1. EDIT: This problem can't be "repaired". Your going to need a new phone.
2. Asurion Insurance claim for a dinc2...

This happened way back when on my Kyocera on virgin mobile. Orange spot grew til the entire screen was obscured. Just get a new phone.

It kind of looks to me like your LCD under the digitizer has a crack in it from what I see in the picture.
Does anyone else have this issue with their GS3 screen? My screen is slightly dimmer on the bottom part of the phone, or maybe tinted blue. Because of this unevenness, it leads to an annoying gradient effect on nearly every website with a white/grey background. I talked to a AT&T rep in store, and he said that this was perfectly normal even though their display units didn't have this issue. Is this normal, or am I just being super picky?
Attached are some hastily taken pictures.
It's not normal. Insist on exchanging it, or go to another store.
Definitely not, have you dropped it? Or you bought it like that? Deff get it replaced

Thanks for the input guys, I'll hit another AT&T store and see what they have to say. And it hasn't been dropped or anything, it's been like that since day 1.
Did you manage to change your phone? I have the same problem with my international version.

I've had 4 phones in a row with this problem. I'm getting one more replacement (blue this time, not white), and then I'm jumping ship on the S3.
I bought my s3 yesterday. and Last night going to bed I have to play with again. I noticed when I have all the brightest low I could see a lot of black dots on the screen and a lot of black lines on the bottom of the screen. Is it just mine or your is too? Again I had my lights off and put the brightest all the way down on the screen. Then try on your phone to get a black picture and you will see. I took a screenshot of it but I can only see these black stuff with low bright. If this is just me I may have to return this baby
Common issue with this phone. Also on the s2
Sent from Flip's S3
I also have the s2 and never noticed it
It's a common flaw with super amoled screens I believe
Here's a another thread on it

Its normal with most of the AMOLED screens. Doesn't really affect general useage unless you have OCD or something

No dots here

Yeah I noticed about the other thread. I got my phone yesterday and noticed it when I was in bed playing with it. I have the s2 t989 as well and that doesnt have the defect. I understand some of the old s2 have some defect on the screen color but this one is different. It looks like the digitizer was cracked. At the bottom it looks like a signature a bunch of black line and a lot of dots on the screen. Though when I put the brightest a little bit brighter its gone. It doesnt bother me. But This phone is new and it should not have any defect.
Common defect nbd. Not even close to how awful the backlight bleed was on my iPad 2 before I got it replaced.
I do Have the same issue but i'm not sure if goingto change my phone is under warranty!
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
known issue. However, my S3 doesn't have any or at least it is much much better than 2 my previous ones. (yes, I know how to check it and Im very picky; Im that kind of guy that goes to the closet to check the screen right after unboxing it). I didn't exchange my phone for this issue. i just happen to get a non-black dot one. Exchange it if you feel so. doesn't affect much tho.
This is on all OLEDs even mine, it is not defect and will not disrupt colors or brightness since they are visible only in pitch black, I don't even think they would replace your phone because of that

I don't have any either... altho my keyboard did get burnt into my screen from all the usage. I will warranty exchange when it gets closer to a year of owning it... my biggest defect is the sticking of volume down rocker

I dont know if my eyes are just completely bugging out or if what im seeing is true. I got my replacement note 7 yesterday and everything went well but then i saw a red/pink tint towards the bottom of the screen i started to freak out but decided that i would let it fly til Monday or so hoping that its just glue or something drying up. Its more noticeable when the screen is on a full white screen or if the bottom/edge part of the screen is white but other than that you can't see it at all.

Sounds like a display issue. My Note 4 had half the screen streaked/covered with a similar color. It was really similar to what the blue-light filter looks like when turned about half way up actually. But it was only on about half the display, and in streaks so was more of a bother because it wasn't the entire screen. I honestly only really noticed it when I was reading my kindle app on my phone with the lights turned off, otherwise it really wasn't very noticeable in normal lighting conditions. Upon reading about this on google this can happen to these kinds of displays that Samsung uses. Might be something to send the phone back for a replacement. I'd really have to see a pic to know enough to know for sure though.
Sounds like a defect. Bound to be a few. Try massaging that area of the screen fairly hard and see if there is any change.

I had that issue on my silver Note 7 and opt to exchange it (after many rounds of persuasion and complaints with at least 3 Samsung technicians). Some see it, some don't. This happened right before the recall.
Thought it was only a random unit of mine, but since you also raised this issue, could be more widespread. FYI, my unit was international version. Also same pinkish hue at the bottom. My replacement unit (before the recall) did not have this issue.
My note 7 recall replacement is not here yet (Samsung announced our replacement only available officially on 29 Sept in my country). I too hope my recalled-replacement will not have the pink hue at the bottom of the screen.
