What'd you do. We're good on these forums but not that good. But in all amazingness just look up Odin and use that.

Not sure, received it that way from an inventory buyout. It was one of the few products that had been opened/returned? Didn't know if there was a common problem with somebody maybe trying to jailbreak and getting such a problem to occur?
If someone had root and a custom recovery and flashed a ROM but it wasn't a good ROM or a corrupt download or an improper ROM it can cause exactly that. Like I said look up ODIN, it'll set the phone to factory settings and you can be on your way to enjoy your s3

That is true, could definitely just be hardware malfunction. I'm so used to seeing software malfunctions I jump on that. You may have to take the device apart to see what he is talking about though. Good luck

had another one in the batch. Swapped out the screens and yep... dead display. Crazy, because there is no crack that's visible.

I was just looking through the Droid Razr forum just checking things out, and came across a few complaints about screen blotches and lines when displaying black/dark images, in low lit conditions... what is going on with these Super AMOLED Plus displays? And why just the t989 and Razr??

I wouldn't be surprised if the blotches and lines are on HTC phones. You'll probably won't see it. Samsung might have set auto brightness too ridiculously low. twenty percent is about the lowest HTC phones can go. I think someone said in a review galaxy nexus suffers from the same problem. Also we seem to get the best end of the stick. Because the Droid razor has the problem the worst.

no offense, but its probably the latter, cause i haven't seen any other devices that DONT have the issue, I've been through 3 myself, and have played with/inspected dozens..... If you dont have the issues, you've got the holy grail bro, hang onto it and be careful not to drop it on the screen, cause if they replace it, it will 99.9% be the blotchy one we all have. Although, i must say, my newest device also has the latest box date and the problem is the least noticeable ive had/seen yet.

Pics please! I'm not requesting this on hopes of proving those wrong who says they have the "perfect" display. Proof of this will help with narrowing down whether this is just "normal" within the way the manufacturer process these displays or it'll prove that there is an inconsistency with these display with certain sgs2 units, which basically will lead to be a defect.
I'm just sayin!
If there's actual proof showing that some Tmobile units do not suffer with these lines and blotches, this will be definite grounds on requesting samsung to fix this issue!
I'm just sayin!
So I dropped my S3 in water a few nights ago (doh!). I left it in rice for a day as advised, and it had since been operating as usual. Would this water episode disrupt or negatively affect flashing roms in the future?
Thanks in advance.
Btw I'm fairly new. Been rooted for under a month.

Not to be a ****, but we're supposed to use our magical powers to detect if the subtle circuitry inside of your phone is short circuited... how?
Yes, it's possible that when your phone took a dive something shorted which could cause an issue with flashing ROMs. It's also possible that nothing at all is wrong with your phone since it appears to work fine.
Or, I'm just a random person on the internet like everyone else who would potentially respond with no more or no less accurate of an answer for you because none of us are omnipotent.

I was tempting to put my phone into recovery mode, It froze and has done this before and last time i pulled the battery... so i did the same thing this time. Only now the phone will not turn on. Plugs in a Jig and nothing. Pluged in power cord and nothing..... Im assuming its permabricked.
I just want to know if it was because it was going to recovery and i pulled the battery? did something short maybe? any educated guesses?
Take out your battery, microSD, SIM, etc. Let your phone sit for around a half hour to an hour. Put everything back in. It might turn on. You could also try getting it JTAG repaired.

Yeah i gave all that a try. Imma just chalk this up in the win some lose some and get use upgrade for a new one (or use vibrant itll gs3mini comes out).
Its under warranty but im torn because this is not something (i think) i cause to happen like if i was flashing a new rom or did something wrong and messed up the phone...
so i might try to warranty an exchange. and even if they say your a moron and it was your fault. still got to get a new phone.

It's like having an adorable illiterate pet
Either you have a hardware issue, in which case claim warranty. Or just do a clean wipe and restart. Are you rooted?
Because that's a silly reason to switch phones. I totally get if you need to upgrade to some other phone - but if this is your sole reason, explore other options before you do.
This failure of screen to come back after a call has been reported by others. I doubt it's hardware.

If it's software, it's defo fixable. I haven't faced this issue on any ROM/Kernel combo I've tried thus far.
Okay scratch that, I did face it once on X Note IIRC. Did a full wipe and everything works well to date.
Well I dropped my phone a few days and now all I have is a black screen. I figure I need a new digitizer and lcd screen but all the parts for the t989 are really expensive. So I was wondering if I could use the digitizer/lcd screen from the Sprint Galaxy S2 D710 since both our phones have the same sized screen, that way I could save myself a lot of money.
Hopefully someone can help me out I'm already tired of using a blackberry!
anyone?
