Has anyone noticed that some pebble blue Galaxy S III's capacitive buttons are dim? I was looking at my friends Pebble Blue S3 to get S-Beam to work and I noticed his buttons were very bright and noticeable. I then looked at mine and it was ridiculous how dim mine were compared to his! Has anyone noticed that with theirs?

Mine are dim too. Doesn't really bother me though
I keep them off all the time.

Thanks for this idea. I didn't even know that it was in cm.

I've decided to do the same. That was one of my only gripes, realized the phone looks so much better now with them off. Cm and TW offer. JellyBean TW has them off at all times unless you use them, but they wont turn on when you touch the screen which is nice but overall off is better.

Me too. Can't find a reason to keep them on at all. And the phone looks better with them off.

Pm djintrigue he has it
I've noticed that the blue is slightly dimmer as well.
It's not a big grippe though, like everyone else in this thread, I keep mine off.
It's less-obtrusive at night, and it saves a little battery as well.

I noticed a horizontal line on the top of my screen (0.25in below top) while using it in the dark last night and the screen test app (by amberfog) confirmed it.
I was wondering if others had the same thing or if they could check, perhaps its normal. Seems to be more visible on the red and grey screens..
Thanks,
Pete
it looks like burn-in from the notification bar o_o
I got it on mine as well... but only with red and not as noticable as yours... Hmmm why red?
def notification bar. Happens on amoled. Experienced it with my nexus and its creeping up on my galaxy s2 as well.

I guess you guys are probably correct with it being burn-in, is this normal to happen so quickly ? I mean the phone isnt even that old...

i totally agree, its photoshop.
who is the idiot who could render such a beautiful device (ics keys as capacitive at bottom) yet the app drawer icon looks like poo? i JUST learned cs4 2 weeks ago and i coulda done better with the icon...
Ok let's just say it is fake... But what if Samsung decides to make the ics buttons into capacitive buttons and not built in to the screen like the nexus? From my understanding they always **** up Android to their liking so I wouldn't put it past them. I'm sure (to them) anything is better to differentiate them from the rest.

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.

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..

It's as if the colors and the screen pops more up while ours looks great but not as popped up and more in depth and concave sort of way. As if there is a grainy screen that's all like gauss covering the screen. Why did they opt for a cheaper crappier screen on the GNex?

Yes, the SGS3's screen is also pentile, note the lack of plus at the end of Super AMOLED HD.
Different colour profile, different Q/A requirements (Have you noticed that there is very little black in touchwizz UX, maybe to avoid the low brightness blacks become purple issue).
Tweaks made to the panels and manufacturing process after doing them in blunk for the gnexus?
All of the above?
Your guess is as good as mine

You do realize this link is irrelevant to the topic at hand, right?
Anyway, I have had my phone next to my friends S3 and with the color tweaks on the GNEX I did not notice any difference. Stock GNEX screen, sure it looks horrible. My GNEX looks 10x better then any stock GNEX screen as well.
I would say quality control. Samsung took the time to perfect the S3's colors. I love my screen and it's vibrant and all that. Granted I've never compared the two.

Trinity colors FTW!
Try it. Screen of GNex looks way better than SGS3!
SGS screens are poorly calibrated. Over saturated, over sharpened, etc.
Some people apparently like that.

Agreed.
Believe it or not there is a point where too much saturation is bad. It starts to look entirely unnatural. I'm happy where the saturation levels are at with my Nexus currently, still more vibrant than any LCD screen, but not to the point where everything looks like someone took the saturation dial and cranked it to max.

Thanks for the advice but that's not my problem. My problem is I think my screen may be going out. Every so often it will have a weird blue/off colored fragmentation on the screen. Its similar to the old upside down 10.1 issue but its not that. Its kinda hard to explain.

These are amoled displays and with amoled displays after say 3 years of use you get something called "burn in" which make the blue LED lights get dim and dimmer over time which causes the screen to have an off look. You cau can prevent this by keeping your phone on low brightness and changing the screen style to "movie" which reduces the saturation of the colors. Even high end devices like the Note 2 will be eventually affected by this
