If changing software doesn't fix an issue it's usually hardware which you can't change. If you're still under warranty then try to get it repaired/replaced.

So I just got my phone a few days ago and while browsing the web I noticed my screen sometimes loses color? Like it goes black and while lines like a static from a tv. Not that bad but it is getting worse. Should I return the phone or what? Is this the same problem with lines and blobs everybody else is having?

Your the first person I have heard have this issue. Best thing to due is return it back to stock if you have modded it and get it replaced. Something is wrong with your phone and should definitely be replaced.

are you sure maybe it's not the AutoBrightness acting up?
try with auto brightness disabled
Would that cause it? I usually have my brightness on high though, which it was at the time.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
this is definitely a new and unique, almist certainly, hardware fault. Reset factory settings and return.
Sounds like he's mistakenly referring to the known "checkerboarding" issue in the stock browser as black & whites lines from a TV...
Just my two cents..

No, that would not cause it. The symptom of that issue is fluctuating brightness not color dropping out. The problem could be a bad video connector or cable in the phone, or a bad display panel. Take it back while you can.

Make sure that it is your phone and not the app or game you're playing that is faulty.
There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?
OK so I traded in 3 nexus allready and cannot get a nexus that doesn't drop data ! I allready flashed different radios still nothing . I heard this is common with the nexus and that Verizon nexuses drops and there trying to fix it is that true ? And if not how can I fix this problem ! Its really starting to irritate me .

You need to request a new phone, not a replacement. Luckily mine was fixed after the first replacement, but I believe there is a policy that after 3 phones, they give you either an equivalent phone, or a brand new one, factory sealed. It's 100% hardware related, so unfortunately no software will fix it.

Force 4g to stay on, you can do so by entering this in your phone dialer *#*#4636#*#*
Go into phone information, scroll down, and select the network speed you want.

Have you tried a new sim card? My Nexus was perfect until last week, I was dropping data constantly. I called Verizon and after speaking to a couple of techs they offered to send me a new sim. I didn't expect it to work but since activating the new sim not a single drop.

That happened to me. I called asurion. And this is my fourth and I hope last replacement.

If wimax, a simple adjustment to NAPID extensions or a reset of the dsa value may do ths trick.

Be prepared to possibly get one with worse, or different problems.
I think I lucked out and got a pretty good one, first buy. But I have heard a lot of people saying it takes their 3rd or 4th phone before they get one that's just right.

It's really not a "defect", per se, it's just what these screens do. If you get a replacement, it's going to have the same problem eventually as well. Just kinda have to accept it for these types of displays.
I was checking out the T-Mobiles' web site and saw that there is NO other versions of the S3 only the LTE variant that just came out.
Found this interesting not sure if other knew about this or ?
I had spoken to them as I just purchased my S3 in Jan and was told I could do a trade in and $150.00 out of pocket... No thanks ....
Correct. The T999L is replacing the T999 across the board. No reason to sell the old one anymore.

No, thats not the firmware, its just how they named the Pebble Blue one on their website. Ive no idea why they did it this way, but its simply how they differentiate the different colors.
T999MBATMB = Pebble Blue
T999RWATMB = Marble White

I'm trying my luck at it now, I doubt it though - I'm sure they have tons of s3's coming back in (trade ins) or refurbs stocked and ready to go. $20 for a replacement while still in warranty, eek.

Same problem for me too. Completely stock.

No probs on mine . . .
Batch 2013-08 China, bought in Germany
Just wondering, particularly if photo sphere isn't working on your nexus 7 2013, if you install AccelermoterTest does the ball move to the bottom left corner - even when the device is on flat ground? Mine does... maybe hardware fault?
