grainy screen resolution - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

Im sorry i have to admit that i did not search the forum first. Im posting from my phone and for some reason it wont let me search. Is there a problem with some of the phones screens looking grainy? Nothing looks sharp at all you can pretty much see every single pixle. Is this the expected quality of the phone or should i take it back to tmobile? Thanks for your advice in advance.

I have owned the sgs4g since before cwm was out for it and this is the first I have heard of this issue.

Wow, ok i guess that answers my question i wish i could take a screen shot of it to show you guys but im not rooted. Ill maybe try with my dslr.

ok, these are what I got.. how you see it is how we see it when using the phone.
I've included the one with a flash because it shows it kinda better. Ignore the greasy screen

Maybe its because the pictures were taken with a camera but I don't see anything wrong

Is it new? Stock? Take it back.

Flip, i agree it is hard to see but if you look at the first picture... At the top of the dock you can clearly see its not very smooth... When looking at peoples screen shots on here... Theirs dont look anything like mine. It is new and stock.. I guess im just going to take it into the store and see what they say.
Also.. In the first pic... You can see how you can see some red and blue... And lines... Thats not the camera... Thats exactly how it looks on the phone

Definitely take it back and let them know it's not supposed to be like that. My lines are very smooth, nothing close to what I see in your pictures. The misaligned lines in picture 1 is already good enough proof.

Unpleasant 'sensation' when swiping 'notifications'...?

I may be alone, but my thumb gets a quite unpleasant 'sensation' when I swipe 'notifications' at the top of the device, it catches on the glass below the speaker grill. It's so annoying I may have to take it back...anyone else notice this?
Hoping I posted in the right spot...
I haven't had a similar issue.

Someone call me? BTW...nope...Gorilla glass is smooth as it should be
Nope. My ROM works great though and if this isn't AlphaRev I don't care.
Please move.

It's where the glass meets the speaker grill, even my son noticed it, maybe it's not placed correctly, I'll have to try another to verify..
its yours', believe me. i've had 5 sensations so far and not one had that issue. exchange it.
I think you're putting your thumb up too high on the screen...
I feel a coarse area there, no reason to swipe that high though.. Not even registered on the screen.

You might be right, I'm so used to HD2 and iPhones, G2x, all swipe from the extreme edge...hmn maybe my habit..I'm reluctant to exchange it as it runs so well... I may have to compare at a local store...Hoping it's just one poorly placed screen...sigh, I love this phone...but can't live with the current swipe...
Maybe you should buy a bigger cell phone......

exactly, it's the way the phone was built, so I don't think a replacement is gonna help.
Kinda noticed it, but it's when you try to tap the "htc" logo on top. Just tap on the notification bar instead. problem solved

Yeah, I'm going to have to change my hd2/iphone/g2x habit....I did go to the store to check out another sense and the T mobile girl agreed, it is a smidge elevated and coming from totally flat fluid screens would make a difference..will re educate my thumb...loving the phone...maybe I ask too much?

Mind heading over to the infuse development forums and providing a system dump to us AT&T users. It will greatly help the Custom ROM development on your shiny new Infuse and make it a better experience for everyone
That was my plan but my boss ran out with the only working demo.. gotta wait to get my own lol

I would love to get my hands on the infuse, from what I've read its an amazingly well built phone with the power to back up the looks and I've been a huge samsung fan since the first galaxy phones came out. I definitely will have to get one for dev/personal use when my finances allow, and also the wife....lol

Lol yeah it is huge the icons on it are bigger than some of my widgets on my cappy and I've seen portable dvd players with less screen. It truly is a monster of a phone, but in a good way, not like the motorola bricks of the 80's that you had no hope of fitting in even a large coat pocket, they were some sturdy pieces of tech though I have one that I held onto that's been thrown, sat on, coffee spilled on, the list goes on and it still powers on and holds a charge and had 0 cracks anywhere on it, well the last time I had it out anyways, its been a lil while and after moving its hard to say.

[Q] Custom paint job on Evo 4g

I'm going to be custom painting my Evo 4g,, has anybody done something similar to this with any other phone?? Advice on paint or method anything is helpful..
Thanks
I install vynal graphics i will probably use some leftover, can always rip it off.
Yeah that would work but I wanted to do like a full on red Evo,, vynls are kinda like stickers
Try a vinyl dye from an auto parts store. Very light coats. Wipe w alcohol first to clean any oils off. 3 decent coats and it should be good. There is also a liquid dip process that is used on guns that is amazing. Holds up to everything. Does not rub off
Yeah sounds like something to look into,, i currently have to projects my evo, lg thrull cracked screen, and nexus s cracked screen.

I have the pebble blue one and from certain angles it looks black, especially at night.

Still awaiting pictures.....
I only say this cuz there doesn't seem to be black GS3's FOR VERIZON anywhere. Like they're non-existant right now. Just a myth as far as I'm concerned. That's why I'm curious to see it. I really really want a black one but can't find it anywhere.

Spigen cases, sketchy?

So I had purchased this case, http://www.spigen.com/galaxy-s4-case-ultra-flip-metallic.html, and I got it in the mail today. It is an alright case but my case seems to appear different than what is shown in the stock photos. If you see on the stock photos the card holder is a slanted horizontal slit, well on my case it is just vertical. Well I had went on the their website to leave them a review about it and my review won't show up. So I had thought "Hey I will just let them know on facebook" checked Facebook link on their site and it says it doesn't exist. So then I figured I would go on their Twitter and leave a comment. Well when I pulled up the twitter it says it too does not exist. I had checked the original.spigen.com with the little activation thingy I had gotten with the case and it said it was authentic. There is no other way to get ahold of this company and I am kinda getting concerned about it.

Anyone else experiencing issues with the company? Or anyone else get the same case with the same issues?
I have not had any issues with them, been a customer for over 3 years now.
if you're not happy about something open a ticket for them to respond.

lol yeah that's true, but still better than nothing at least they will respond.
I had to replace a case due to a defect, they asked me to send pictures which I did and they sent me a new one a few days later.
thanks.
Okay I shall do that then. I just thought it was a little weird both their Facebook and twitter weren't active
