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..

Dead pixel

Hello guys. Today appeared a dead pixel near to my menu button. I downloaded a bunch of programs from the market to try to fix it. The problem is that the navigation bar won't disappear in order to try to fix it. Do you guys know any problem that fits the full screen? Best regards

Doubt you'll be able to fix hardware problems with software.

It's possible. Sometimes the pixel isn't completely dead, only stuck

Find a mod to remove nav bar, backup, flash, test pixel fix, restore. Shouldn't be hard to find one or a ROM with it included.

Unfortunately when a screen goes bad, it's bad.
Stuck pixels can be fixed; however, they're usually red, green, or blue. Dead pixels are black and cannot be fixed.

So I've found something strange. When I have a black or blue background I can see the dirty dead/stuck pixel cyan coloured.
However, when I have a white, red or green background, the pixel disappears!
What's happening?

I hear you man...
Just discovered my stuck pixel on my 3-day old GN... that moment felt like swallowing a cactus.
Mine is cyan too but only visible under red, white, and yellow... quite the opposite of your case.
Google search says gentle rubbing (with a stylus or pencil eraser), color flashes (Dead Pixel Detect and Fix, but could make it worst), and/or time will fix it. Good luck.
I ran DPDF for about 5 min and didnt fix it.
At this point I actually feel pretty serene about it.
Meh.

Update: I'll send my phone to warranty. I hope they replace the display and I hope it's quick. Thanks for all your suggestions

Dead pixel or crushing?

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.

[Q] What color is your Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7100?

Titanium grey wanted a really bizarre colour but this was all they had lol not really bothered about the colour....its still a powerphone on steroids

Other: Infrared.
I can see slightly into the infrared spectrum, which is useful because only I can see my Note II; to everyone else, it's just shimmering heat waves and a screen!

Mine is hooloovoo.

This is the 21st century...why should colour matter?
Judge not by the colour of its case but by the content of its specs sheet.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

Well, i was thinking of white.. then when i got them both hands on, i preferred gray.. Then again, when i went into shop, they had only white (and i couldnt wait of course, i was already sick of waiting for Nexus 4 bullcrap), then i bought white...
And then, my friend bought gray 2 weeks ago.. And i was much more satisfied with the white one... Dont know why... Its a personal matter anyway

Does it really matter at all? 2 colors from which to choose. Not a lot of variance on answers.
Please kill these pointless poll threads. Starting to read like Facebook in here and killing the signal to noise ratio.

Was your old one rooted or flash counter tripped when you sent it back? I am getting ready to ship mine back and I think my counter is tripped.... But it does show up "original" on the download screen....

What about screen smearing when you dim the screen all the way? If you go to setting and scroll you will see the white text turn purple and becomes blurry.
And wifi issue? If you have Net gear router that is.
