Need experts opinion - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

All out of the blue the screen got a green pixel on the screen that does not go away when is on, only when as sleep it goes off. I rebooted the phone and no luck anyone knows a possible solution or why this happened. Thank you

Dead pixels are something of a lottery... Just plain bad luck. I suggest you get your warranty worked to get it fixed/replaced.

Yes this has happened to me twice actually...when I was explained to by customer service snd warranty department that to have this happen is veryy rare...I was awarded an exchange so that what I also recommend. Sry bro

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.

God that sounds like a world of pain .
I first got made aware of this when I watched the xda TV there was a feature on different screen technology so I know there's an issue with amoled but I'm less than half way through my contract so what's it going to be like in 12 months

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.

Do you have this problem on your Note II?

Hey Guys,
I just found a problem on my note ii. I wanted to know if it's just me or if it happens with you guys as well. It happened with my old my Note II, so I exchanged it. The problem is still there with the new note.
So here is how you find the problem.
- Take out your S Pen.
- Go to the S Pen Section
- Create a Note.
- Then go to the right side of your phone, next to the center.
- Keep scribbling up and down, till you find a dead spot.
Let me know if it happens to you guys too.
Thanks.
I did this and noticed nothing unusual.

This happens to my Note II. There's dead spots in the empty spot. I just wanted to know if it was me or some other people as well. This is my replacement phone, it happened to the old one as well.
Nope, my phone is working flawlessly!!!

Thank you so much guys! I appreciate it.
I'll be heading back to T-Mobile with this.
I am able to write on the entire side of my phone (both sides that is).
My problem with the note 2 is that stock alarm clock doesn't work, I set it up and nothing! Anyone else?

seems to be working fine here, are you sure you set up everything correctly? tone? melody? vibration? that's weird
No problem here. Have the device replaced.
Are you using a case with a magnet latch? That could be whats causing the dead spot

mine is perfect doesnt have any dead spot

Locked out of new Note 2

Okay, So I bought a used Note 2 off of Craigslist. Before I bought it I used it, checked the settings, it was 4.2.1 had multiwindow and so I thought, let me check my SIM card. I put my SIM card in and let the phone boot up. I saw the 4G LTE and I thought I was good. When it came to price I haggled a little but I told the seller how much I was willing to pay before he agreed to meet. Anyways, he seemed sore but took the deal. I get in my truck and leave. I go to unlock the phone and it has a passcode. I call the guy, no answer. I got a text back stating sorry. So because he felt ripped off I can't get in to the phone. Any suggestions?
Factory reset

Shut phone down. Then hold volume up + home button + power button until you get to the recovery screen. Then select factory reset using the volume rocker and power button. Reboot and you should be good to go.

You should report that person to the cops. If you have the original post and any contact with the guy should do. What a prick.

It might not be stolen now, just hope the guy isn't a real jerk and reports the phone stolen afterwards.

Um...wrong, try again
Well the phone is registered to me now, according to AT&T. Hopefully he can't report it stolen now. I also meant 4.1.2, my mistake. Only thing is, before I spoke to AT&T I rooted it via odin. Now I can't get the latest update the phone keeps telling me about from AT&T. Is it important?

Actually you are wrong seeing as a note 2 on 4.2.1 would not be running touchwiz and not have multiwindow available.

T- Mobile shows only S3 LTE Variant

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.

I noticed Samsung.com has also changed theirs. Still no show that is LTE but they show this SGH-T999MBATMB Again I dont know if that is the first firmware that was released with the phone or not

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

Weird though. I had no idea. I see now that TMB means tmobile, they also have it with the other carriers

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.

For the Galaxy S3, I believe it is 130$ with the insurance deductible off the top of my head.

Not sure what you think anyone here can do for you. It sounds buggered to me... How old is it? You're likely going to have to RMA it for a repair under warranty.
have you turned negative mode on, hold power for option to turn off
