I've had the white Note II for about 3-4 months and I notice that the home button is starting to turn yellow. Is anyone else experiencing this? The rest of the phone has stayed white. I'm thinking about getting one of those home button covers that people use to cover their Verizon logos.
Thats the problem with white phones. They change their colour after a while.

I'm not sure but I read some people saying that the home button has a plastic protection on it. Maybe yours is still there?

Hi. I bought a galaxy nexus today.
When i have the phone on and the screen is black then i can see some black parts(the screen is black, but there's some parts that are extra black). Is this normal? Or is the screen broken? Going to post a picture soon.
Btw my dad dropped the phone today. Maybe it's because of that?
Thanks in advance

This happens on my screen too. It is only really visible in a dark room when the screen is black like when FaceBook is loading a picture. I also get the black dots and a black line horizontally across the whole screen. I never really thought much of it because those pixels seem to work fine under normal conditions.

Normal.

Ive noticed it on mine too. Hasn't really bothered me since its hardly noticeable. I think it is worth mentioning that my dots aren't like single pixels. It is more like a blotch or a cluster.
I have a Galaxy SII (TMO) and sounds like this is similar to the issue we are all suffering from. Here's a link discussing it - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300133

Transformer Prime has tons of black dots.. i'm guessing it is the touch sensing stuff on the glass/under the glass
I noticed when I went in Best Buy and took a look at the AT&T white 16GB and saw the home button was elevated slightly, although it was only a display model, where as my T-mobile pebble blue 16gb has it sitting pretty much flush with the phone. Has anyone else noticed this? Thanks in advance.

My wife has a 32gb white one and I have a 32gb blue one... I can tell no difference at all in the buttons on either one. I did notice any LED or light under the while plastic lights up the white plastic making the LED look 'fuzzy' where as my blue one leaves crisp, defined LED light.
But the buttons are both physically the same.
So I understand this is a recurring issue with some AMOLED displays, but is anyone else noticing black splotches on your screen if you put a fully black image on the screen, turn the brightness all the way down, and look at your phone in a very dark room? I'm curious how common it is before I complain. I'll post a picture tomorrow if I can capture it. It looks kind of like an ink trail near the middle of my screen. Thanks!

I just checked my over 2 year old SGSIs screen and do not see any blotches. You are also the first person that i have read about that has any problems. That does not mean youeare alone however. I have heard many running 4.2 complaining about black artifacts being seen on the screen.

I have them on mine; there are two splotches about 3/4" long roughly in the middle, just left of center. Doesn't bother me though, since I can't see them during normal use.
Had the issue on mu-tiple Samsung skyrockets...the original note and on the s3.
I have seen them on some note 2 but mine I have not found one yet.

I have a small one at the top left of the screen. My first one was right down the middle. My OCD took hold and I swapped it out. It's the same thing on my new one.
Sure, I wish it wasn't there but you really have to have perfect conditions to actually see it.
It actually has something to do with inconsistent electrical charge or something. There's actually a team for this but I can't remember it.
LCDs have dead pixels and amoleds have these splotches.
The DROID Razor is really bad as is the PS Vita. It's just that tech.

Anyone see blackspots on their TMobile Samsung Note 2's in a dark setting?
EDIT:
Forgot to mention, to check for the black spots, set your phone to lowest brightness, then dial
*#0*#
LCD TEST
Select the Vibration Option, and wait for a minute for your display to adjust
You need to do this in a completely dark settings,
Observe Carefully, and then post your observation here,
Any Black Spots?
Posting Pictures using a DSLR camera would be great. I'm surprised Samsung has not resolved this AMOLED issue yet.
yeah i have like a little circle near the bottom right of the screen
I'm not seeing anything on mine... Here's a pic I took with my tablet.

Questions go in Q&A broheim.
I get that, but only on the Launcher. Especially the TW launcher.
its only on black and low brightness
Its pretty common almost every s3 or noteII will have some. But I was pretty picky when I first gone mine and since I work at t-mobile I replaced 3 phones until I got one that didnt have any.

Well I don't have black spots but I do have a cracked screen now :/
Insurance is giving me a new one on Tuesday. I'll check that once for the defect.

I noticed a black line on the left side of my screen when using the camera in low light. Was going to send the phone back for a new one but didn't want to have to put a new screen protector on. It doesn't effect any thing, only can see it with low light with the camera.
Any pictures showing the lines or black spots?
am I blind or am I the only one not seeing an option for black under that menu? I see red green and blue... don't see black.
Select Vibration, and the black screen will appear, let your eyes adjust for a few seconds in a completely dark setting then report your findings on this thread.

I bought my s3 yesterday. and Last night going to bed I have to play with again. I noticed when I have all the brightest low I could see a lot of black dots on the screen and a lot of black lines on the bottom of the screen. Is it just mine or your is too? Again I had my lights off and put the brightest all the way down on the screen. Then try on your phone to get a black picture and you will see. I took a screenshot of it but I can only see these black stuff with low bright. If this is just me I may have to return this baby
Common issue with this phone. Also on the s2

I also have the s2 and never noticed it
It's a common flaw with super amoled screens I believe

Yeah I noticed about the other thread. I got my phone yesterday and noticed it when I was in bed playing with it. I have the s2 t989 as well and that doesnt have the defect. I understand some of the old s2 have some defect on the screen color but this one is different. It looks like the digitizer was cracked. At the bottom it looks like a signature a bunch of black line and a lot of dots on the screen. Though when I put the brightest a little bit brighter its gone. It doesnt bother me. But This phone is new and it should not have any defect.
Common defect nbd. Not even close to how awful the backlight bleed was on my iPad 2 before I got it replaced.
I do Have the same issue but i'm not sure if goingto change my phone is under warranty!
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
known issue. However, my S3 doesn't have any or at least it is much much better than 2 my previous ones. (yes, I know how to check it and Im very picky; Im that kind of guy that goes to the closet to check the screen right after unboxing it). I didn't exchange my phone for this issue. i just happen to get a non-black dot one. Exchange it if you feel so. doesn't affect much tho.
This is on all OLEDs even mine, it is not defect and will not disrupt colors or brightness since they are visible only in pitch black, I don't even think they would replace your phone because of that
