Issues with T-Mobile galaxy s3 quality control.

So... I bought my galaxy s3 from tmobile customer service. With a full upgrade I've only paid $ 179 of 16gb.
I've wanted the white one but they were sold out in 16. So I've went ahead and placed a exchange of the 32gb.
The first (white 32gb) had many dust stuck under the sceen... and interfere with the camera as well... so I've called to get me a same but different one that isn't defective this time. (New in box course) now the new one has huge gap on the metal bezel area... I could fit like 5 business card.
So I called again and placed another one...
This time I've told them to put a notation on my account so that the manufacture date is most recent... (both of my defective white phones were made in 7/4/12)
Where as my blue one is perfect...besides the dark pixels.
I really think Samsung's quality control isn't as what they claim to advertise as... I understand that no phones are perfect... but at least do a better job at hiding... lol
So in my opinion I could be getting a bad batch or just unlucky... I will keep you guys updated with my next replacement in white.
Please tell us your experience with similar problems.

No he's not, he's paying for a new product so it shouldn't have any defects or problems. What's the point of a 720p screen if it has dust underneath. My 2 yr old g2 doesn't have any dust whatsoever so why should this.

No ****. How close do you have to have the phone to your face to notice "Dark pixels?"

I wasn't aware that these screen panels could have dust considering the digitizer and screen are fused together. Hmm... :sly:

Mine already has cracks in the bezel, only issue so far. Much better than the Galaxy Nexus screen issues or the first batch of One X ones.

My first one had really weird screen issues (looked like there were fingerprints underneath the screen) but I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary on my second. 32 GB white.

I got wobbly power button and volume buttons...

I bought a white 16gb 2 days before launch and everytime it vibrated it sounded like something loose was in the phone.. I returned it, got another white one. no problems with it.

So lets see here. Samsung has probably manufactured what 10 million Galaxy S3's? I would expect some to have issues. Mine has none of these flaws.

I got a perfect phone! Trolololololololo lo lo lo lo jk I got a bad screen same issue as the tom skyrocket. Blobs and stuff you know

The guy shouldn't ***** about it, just exchange the phone. You make millions of phones bound of them a few are going to have flaws... Mass production.. and if you ever worked in quality control you know not EVERY SINGLE product gets checked just a few random ones...

Oddly enough I had to exchange my gs3 because it couldn't get a 4g signal. Really weird. But now I have one that works perfectly.

Take it from me you'll get use to it fairly easy, and whoever said they couldn't fit a note in their pocket is lying, I normally wear skinny jeans and never had a issue with the original note. Only thing I will say is that it will look fairly ridiculous holding it up to your ear to talk, but I've never been one to worry about what people say or think, and I got plenty of compliments about the phone on a daily basis while commuting in the city.

Yea I'm jumping ship as soon as it launches
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

im very interested in this and conflicted on what to do...
i never even held the original note, but i dont mind the bigger size at all... the more the better to me, and with those specs, wooooo...
might have to hold onto one in the store before deciding what to do...

One thing I'm looking forward to is the stylus, I haven't had one since the touch pro 2, I liked it a lot. Less fingerprints, but I don't like how it's on the Bottom? why would they make it come out of the bottom, it's going to wear out and simply fall out eventually... kinda stupid but whatever...

Yup, I'll be selling my S2 and S3 to pick one up as soon as they come out!

Very strange reason to pick the white! I suspect it wasn't the only reason.
I couldn't care less about the colour of the charger myself.

Be aware Samsung staff warned me about different power from chargers for SGN I and II, so I suggest you to stay with your white one..... at least until your warranty expires.

I got white charger too with the Titanium gray phone

I guess we all got the white?

funny that, I got a white cable and black charger with my white Note II :laugh:
If there is someone with a Titanium version with white charger who can't bear it any longer, I am willing to swap

I wonder why they switched them up? An unboxing I saw for the white note 2 has a black charger and cable.

My girlfriend got a black charger, black sync cable but white headphones with her original blue Note, so it doesn't surprise me that Samsung are boxing the new Note with the wrong coloured accessories. One of the reasons she bought the blue one was because she didn't want Apple style white headphones that go grubby very quickly - she was so p****d when she found white earbuds in the box. On the plus side, at least Samsung put in-ear headphones in the box unlike many HTC devices that come with pretty awful old style headphones.

[Q]Moving from sgs3 to note 2

Hi I've recently got my s3 perhaps 4 months ago and I want to kill myself now that this beast is released. Just asking those Who have moved over from the s3, is the screen really that less clear compared to s3? I've heard that alot from many readings, and really hope to hear some feedback from you guys!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

I ditched my S3 three days ago. Note 2 has by far a better screen. Both great phones, but I prefer the Note 2. The battery life is ridiculous. I swear, it's powered by a fusion reactor.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2

I came from the s3 last week and the difference of performance is like night and day. It must be the ram and optimized software. I like the screen is this note better because the colors are nicer and there is no tinting. True, it might be a bit less sharp than the s3 but you'll only notice it if you have both devices side by side.

Go for the gray one! My s3 was white and I loved it, decided to try something different this time. I love titanium gray as it looks really classy but it's kinda hard to match cases with it. The white one is easier to pair in that aspect but the gray one looks more professional.

Yea, I mean for the size of the note 2 it's pretty light. But an even lighter phone would make one hand operation a little easier to use, allowing you to maneuver the phone around better with just one hand.

This is my first note phone. Previously had the S2, S3, and S4. Damn I wished I had jumped on the note series earlier. This phone is awesome. Really liking it. Screen is beautiful and I love the way it feels in my hands.
