My friends s3 seems to be more vivid and a little more clear than mine. His colors seem to pop out vs mine who seem faded. How can i fix mine?

Return it and get it a new one
Legit reason to have them send you a new one. If the person you talk to doesn't like it, ask for their supervisor. If that fails, call back and start again, sometimes some call centers seem to be lame about stuff like exchanges and others are perfectly fine.

How do i flash my phone back to stock without having the counter go up?

Dont know if it can make a big difference here but did you turn off auto-adjust screen tone in display settings?

Look in the stickies for the stock Rom. Use triangle away to reset the flash counter.
It's an app in the play store.

Or just download the full fw package from somewhere like sammobile.com and install wiith odin. Or use kies.
Counter will not go up when flashing stock fw.

You'd be surprised, id remove the screen protector and do the color diagnostic test *#0*#. If the RGB are off to you then id return it.

Throw the phone away, it's not worth flashing back to stock or anything.

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?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
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 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.

So basically I restored my imei but nothing is still working I told T-Mobile it was overheating then it happened, they went through the whole trial and error process then sent me to tech support. They set me up to do a warranty exchange so I have to send it in, I bought this phone flat out, wondering If they could find anything even after resetting the Tripper and going back to stock? Thanks.

I'm bone stock and have noticed the same thing the last few days. I don't make a ton of calls and I really only call my wife, so I don't know when it started, but I was blaming her iPhone.
Maybe its just Sprint.
Let's do something.
1. Download Stock ROM
2. Download Triangle Away
3. Run Triangle Away and reset counter.
4. Flash stock ROM.
5. Go to the store and yell as hard as you can "I WANT A NEW PHONE, THIS POS IS NOT WORKING".
6. Check for warranty.(Optional)

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.

In developer options click show screen touches. See if your digitizer is going bad, happened to one of my note1's.
Id return it in a heartbeat but before that if you want to have fun go to phone and enter

And play around with the sensors.
