New screen problems

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?

He's right. Take it back. It will only get worse.

Oh. Great. Right after I get a rom I like. Is this atleast known to happen to some people or am I just that unlucky...?

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.

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.

I don't use the default web browser.
I have noticed it the most on the game hanging with friends.

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 ...?

Low LED light afte JB update?

In ICS it lit up pretty good and now its kinda dim, what gives? Is this normal ? How can I make it brighter again?

Looks the same to me, try a factory reset.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

If not that, try an app called Light Flow Lite - that has some LED settings you can change.
T999/CM10

I'm bone stock and this is my second s3 in two days that the led looked dim after the update already tried a factory reset.

Mine is also dimmer than it was on ICS. After the OTA update I noticed it. Did factory reset with same results. Formatted everything and applied the rooted version through odin and still have them dimmed LED. Updated my brothers S3 and his is the exact same. I got a text message last night and the LED was fully illuminated, but after I opened it and received another message after it was dim again.

This needs to be fixed I'm very ocd about stuff and this is fine of em

Same thing happened to me, my wife and I have the same phone but I didn't update hers yet and I have seen a big difference on the led. Mine is dimmer than hers. I did factory reset and same thing.

Maybe it save battery? Don't quote me on that, it's a wild guess.

Well it probably does, but it can't save much. LEDs barely use any power.

I always thought they needed more power? but they are more efficient as using this power?? I dont remember its been forever since ive studied electronics
Anywasy, on topic, i run CM10 and dont think its all that dim. Maybe they added an option inside the settings for brightness? I wish it had the "breathing" option instead of just flashiing. But check for a setting maybe?

Not really positive about details. I think they are more efficient. Whether they use more power I have no idea. I know our utilities company is offering to take old Christmas lights and they give you LED strands instead for free.

Single color LEDs are quite efficient. These multi-color, variable brightness LEDs are somewhat less so. That doesn't really matter the question at hand though because most of the power drain of LEDs is just having them on. The difference in power drain from a low intensity to a high intensity is marginal.

SAMOLED burn-in - anyone else had warranty issues?

I've sent my Galaxy Nexus off for screen replacement twice now - both times, the Samsung UK repair centre in Norwich has said there is no fault found.
It's really not that hard to miss - I have a large area of different colours where the navigation bar lives compared to the rest of the screen. It makes landscape video watching quote annoying.
Has anyone else had problems getting out replaced? Mine was just 11 months old when I first sent it off, back in March. This time around, it was marked as repaired and awaiting delivery on the 10th April - I called today to find out what's happening with it, only to be told it was still on the premises.
Not really the service standards I'd hoped for - the handset was over £500 when I got it.

burn in is normal. this has been beaten into the ground already.
use the search.

I know it happens, though I'd hoped using the pentile display would've eliminated the problems they had with the Galaxy S and S2. My question was has anyone else had issues getting the display swapped when under a year old?
I think at this age, it's a premature failure. Am I mistaken?
Thanks,
Rich

He's not asking if it can be fixed. He's asking if he can get his phone repaired/replaced under warranty because of it.

The 2x you were rejected by Samsung UK.

Ah, I understand now! I thought I'd misunderstood something in an earlier post.

How the hell is it getting that bad!?? I've had my phone since Feb 2012 and I have ZERO burnin.
Are you using the damn thing as a nightlight/desk clock while you sleep at night???! Do NOT leave the screen on for more than 10min MAX with a static output. Be smart about this man.

Lol with how many CLNR's I've gotten they havent had time enough to burn in

No, far from it. Screen is always set to automatic brightness, with 30 second time-out. It's never been left on overnight, used as a sat-nav, or streamed vast amounts of TV or anything like that.
This is why I'm so annoyed - I don't mistreat it. And a phone of this calibre should remain defect-free for longer than 11 months, surely...

This. It happens. I never leave my screen on for more than 2 minutes, unless I'm watching a video, which then the status bar and navbar are hidden.
So it just happens, unfortunately.

Mine doesn't burn-in.but there are two brighter lines than other areas ,at the top and bottom of the screen.

orange blotch (bleeding?) when hot

so when my phone gets hot and i go into an app that has a white background, i.e. play store, i get a couple of light orange blotches that appear to be pixel bleeding of some sort. when i cool it down, i.e. put it in the fridge or freezer, it goes away. Does anyone else have this issue? any ideas whats causing it? im pretty sure it didn't happen until i switched from lifeless to aosp. but i think the only reason it didn't happen on lifeless was because my phone didn't get this hot

Could be the color saturation issues with AOSP. I know my screen had an orangeish tint when it got hot on AOSP but not on stock.

im not actually sure if it does it on stock i just noticed it first on aosp and im too lazy to flash stock

I've underclocked to 1.1ghz just to keep it from getting to hot and also to conserve a little more battery.

Is that the only fix for it? My wife's phone has experienced this too... Running stock

same thing happened to me
The same thing happens to me on the lower left corner. Its because this phone still uses lcd instead of led.

High pitch rattling during vibration. Normal?

Hey guys, I'm having an issue where when the phone vibrates, there is a high frequency rattle that comes with it. I am wondering if this is just the nature of the phone or theres something wrong with it. Care to share anybody?
Other than that, this phone is amazing!

That's fortunate for you. I plan on keeping mine for awhile though.
I feel it might be on all devices. When I shake the device, I can hear, I think, the auto focus shaking. The rattling might be a product of the auto focus shaking with the phone which is okay with me. I just dont want it to be loose pieces bouncing around in my phone.

Any word on the visit to T-Mobile? My phone vibration has seemed to majorly decrease in strength.

No issues with anything here. Loving this phone! Best phone ever!
