I was in Tmo today for my s6 screen issues... never mind that tho lol...let's just say I still have the same s6 with the screen issue ?. I also have the G4 and I compared my screen with a display model and the screen on the display model was twice as nice and a lot brighter the whites was uniformed unlike mine which shows a green tint at the top. I'm very picky about my phones screens, too much money being spent to have such a obvious issue.
Just venting ?

That is a great idea. Take the G4 in to a Tmobile store and compare it to the display mode. That way you can make sure that what you got is at least the same quality as what they are advertising...
I will do this once mine comes in tomorrow.

That's so old. You should try the Rev 2.00 version. Available here
It's a bit pricier but much smoother....
Hey what can I say.... after 3 returned DOAs, and even worse screen than the first one I got, this might be the ultimate solution. Just got a question, will this void the warranty?
If you're worried about the warranty, you just need the automatic warranty replacement system
I think I could be a lawyer....
oh its a joke...
i am just so happy i could start this thread to help everyone.

I got my phone back from the repair center and they gave me a whole new screen and phone. its flawless!!
....Are you sure?
Positive. I am going to see if i can take a picture with my laptop. Its literally stunning!!
Yeah there have been a ton of false positives on the issue going away on a replacement. Some pics would be awesome. Either way, if you are happy with it, that's stellar, placebo or not.

The phone was sent to Texas for a broken LCD repair. Took exactly one week. Still in warrenty LOL. Got it back and it was brand new with a flawless screen. Everything looks more vibrant. I don't know where to look for a mfg date.

Those aren't really the sort of screens that cause the flaws to be visible.
Try displaying blobs.jpg in a pitch black room on minimum brightness and take a picture of it in there.
okay back at it again lol. Going to try with low light and the blobs.jpg if i can find it. I called samsung and they sent it right to texas for a repair.
Because of the camera its still ****ty. but you can see no blobs at all and no lines. its all clear.
The best part is the whites are actually white, and the screens blacks are pretty much as black as it gets.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
Can't see much from those pictures but if they gave you a new screen then I have no reason to doubt that you may have gotten a good one.
That's awesome you got a good screen. Wish they did the same for mine. I've traded my phone in 4 times with all the same results still having the vertical lines and blobs. I gave up a while back ago and have learned to live with it. It doesn't even bother me anymore.
While having a flaw is annoying, It's so minor in my opinion. It's way to small of a criteria for the problem to exist.
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.

Guys everyone test ur phones do its a dim light or a room... now open a fully black photo or a video.. a lot of smiled screens have these strong spots or lights when ur looking at ur screen in the dark.
Or download an LCD test and perform it in a dim/dark room...
I want to know how many of ur screens are effected because a lot of people are reporting this issue and when they exchange their phones they still get the same problem.
For me its an issue since I payed $600 for it and would expect a flawless screen.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I've noticed two very tiny spots that are darker than others when brightness is down and the only thing on my screen is backlight (such as when a game/youtube is loading) but no bars or anything that has really caused me undue annoyance.
Good luck that is a Samsung trademark. Dealt with it with the S2 now the S3. For everything else the phone does I don't even worry about it. But I also go my phone from Tmobile free so I am not too worried as long as it works
So should I get it replaced I bought it for 600 from a tmobile store just a few says ago.. or is it likely I will get the same thing again.. (those black spots/lines)

Just keep it and enjoy it. Most if not all have this problem.
Most super amloed screens have this problem. I knoticed it too when I first got my phone but I learned to accept it because it really isn't visible unless you do what you mentioned above.

Ok I understand but mine doesn't have a little. It has 2 big lines down the screen and a bunch of stains all around... is this considered too much of a flaw with amoled?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Do you see it during normal use or just when you put it in those conditions? Because, I'm sure 90% of the phones will have it with those conditions. If you only have it under those conditions, then ignore it, because, as I said, 90% of S3 owners (AMOLED owners) will have it. If you see it during normal use, then replace the phone.
Hello, I have been having the same issue with my screen on my Galaxy SIII since I bought my first one last february, what is causing it and what is it?
Pictures below, it has just started to develop on this my 4th SIII that of which was a BNIB not one of those replacement ones which my last two replacements were.
Photos below..
The circles start out hardly visible and progress getting darker eventually I have a row of up to 5.

I don't see anything I wouldn't expect to see.
Edit: I see them now. It's like one of those pictures you have to stare at to see the image.
I see them, and yeah that would be pretty annoying. Are you using a particular background, or playing a certain game for an extended amount of time that could be causing those to "burn" into the display? Anything along that line of thought?
Is that only noticeable on light background colors or does it get darker with a darker background color?
------------------------------------
If it was easy you'd of hired the guy at Home Depot to to it.
It's definitely a game or something causing this. Or background as the above user mentioned. Only issue that's common throughout all of the s3 devices are the ink blots. That circling is really strange. I'm putting my money on it being caused by some sort of burn in from the same image being displayed for too long.

I once heard a story about a boy after returning five phones for the same issue that was so minor, his mother took him to a psychologist about his perfectionism disorder. (Nothing to do with you, just a funny story)

It only starts getting darker and darker and more noticeable. It starts only being noticeable on white to gray screens then on all screens.
I do not use or have any backgrounds or games which have that design.
Would you pay the same amount for an SIII if you saw defects on the screen?
I pay for the warranty so I will make sure my phone is in prestine condition if ever I decide to sell it.
