[Q] Opened phone and this is what I saw... - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I have a white galaxy s iii. around the bottom of the phone is pinkish. Both of the water sensors are intact and don't see any discoloration. What could be causing the pink around the case of the phone. I do have a Red otterbox but I never dropped it in water. Any ideas what could cause this?

How is the back cover? Cuz that looks like the dye came off of the Otterbox but that wouldn't make sense if the cover is always on. I have a blue GSIII and the insides are black so I can't really suggest much as far as cleaning it.

my girl friend has a blue one also and we looked at hers. and obviously hers was black also. i dont think there is any dye things inside the phone. but it kinda freaked me out. the back looks fine actually. its bothering me. Im sending it back because of issues. if they see something wrong are they going to charge me full price or insurance. i havent done anything to the phone but i know how shiesty vzw can be.

Idk about that man, I haven't actually returned a phone to Verizon before so that's open to interpretation. I would imagine you would be fine but the dye on the insides could be attributed as the cause of whatever issues you have in the eyes of Verizon.

Then again, they'd probably seen tons of them like that and will brush it off...

[POLL] Did you remove the paint on your ear-piece?

It appears to be a very common problem that the black paint on the Captivate's ear-piece has a tendency to scratch off VERY easily.
I am curious as to know how many people actually got fed up with trying to repair this awful blemish; and decided to just scratch all the paint off to make it look better.
Personally I removed the black paint completely and kind of like the silver that remains.
What are your thoughts?
What? I've never heard anyone mention this. My paint is fine.
first I've heard of this, and mine is just fine as well.
The paint literally flaked off of mine just by rubbing my thumb on it.
No issues here, maybe you got a defective model?

This is bizarre I've never heard of this happening lol
If my model is defective, I don't think they would ever replace it because it's physical damage.
no problem here either,,if they sound good your good to go
No issues for me, trim your ear hairs.............

I actually don't talk on the device very often, I'm more so a texter
Anyway, it was more from putting the phone in and out of my pocket:
Here is a picture I just took:

Mine is fine and i carry it in my pocket with no case. I would think that the piece would be annodized and not painted. Probably got one with a bad grille. If you complain enough they may replace it - hard to say.
In all honesty, it literally started as a small chip in the "paint"; I touched that up with a sharpie.
Next day I had another chip, I rubbed it with my thumb and more came off - at that moment I decided to just rub the rest off and it just flaked away into dust.
Never thought of it....My phone is a tool not a piece of jewelery. Scratches and blemishes don;t bother me. I don;t use a s case and carry it in my pocket with keys and crap. I do use a screen protector though. As far as paint goes...Meh..not worth worrying about of "fixing"

WTH happend to my screen???

What's up with my lCD screen? I noticed tis weird deformation on the screen with the protector REMOVED! I don't remember dropping it onto the screen or pushing it in really hard or anything. It looks like water but when I apply pressure, it doesn't spread out. Anyone?
BTW, there's no scratches, dents cracks on the screen. I always used a screen protector and I never leave it in the sun for too long.

Same thing has happened to me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=796568
Newton ring effect apparently, search the forums for it.
My screen still works etc. just this has appeared on it, same as u, i haven't dropped it or anything.
O2 said they will repair it.
I'm wondering if its happened with the change in temperature here, as thats one cause apparently, but who knows...

Weird! How can I describe it to T-Mobile? I don't want them thinking I damaged the screen because they'll charge me 90 bucks for the replacement. I also have to flash the software back to stock. It's running modified software....
What I said to O2 was that there is a mark underneath the glass of the screen, which is causing a rainbow effect, and online it has been refered to as a Newton Ring.
I also did say that it wasn't dropped or anything as there is no damaged on the external of the phone.
I'm taking mine to O2 next week as I need it for my satnav this weekend!

Any help? This hasn't happened to my nexus s or anything else I own?
Looks like the lcd's bad. Still have warranty left?
Looks like a smurf had fun with your screen.
Send it in for warranty, you got a bad lcd.

Contact them. They'll most likely need an IMEI number or serial..
You'll be fine. Do a titanium backup or nandroid backup and send it in.

Almost but the pattern looks too much like leaking fluid for me to think that. Also, I don't think LCD screens are effected by magnets like that. Correct me if I'm wrong because I'm not about to start dropping magnets on this one..

Moisture....you dip it in the stool?
Did you happen to install screen protector with an included fluid? Same happen to my Inspire me when I got little too generous with the fluid on the screen. But then I left it in a spot next to my radiated heater inside a paperback for overnight and it dried off and completely went away.
Has there been any excess pressure on the screen? That's really weird. I'm curious now LOL

I think it might have been the screen cleaning apart I used.

Pebble Blue is so much more classy imo. Also the white one has a known discoloration issue turning yellow due to overheating.
Imo Blue + Flip Cover = classy sex.

But a quick perusing of this forum will get you everything you need to have control.
This is my second andriod coming from BB and I don't know why I waited so long to switch. I liked my droid charge when I got it, liked it even more when I grew some sack and rooted.
The S3 blows the charge out of the water. I preordered becasue I had a upgrade to burn and wanted a decent phone that would last a while. I was a little upset when I heard of the locked bootloader but was amazed of the work done before I even had the phone in my hands. Now with the unlock the phone is truly ours.

Black specks on back of silk white

I received my OP6 silk white yesterday and there are a number of small black specks across the back that won't come off- it looks like a bit of dirt or something that's got trapped in the process of making the back or something. Has anyone else faced this issue? Trying to decide whether to get a replacement as even though they're small it drives me mad knowing they're there!
Get it replaced

Everyone I've shown it to says I'm being ridiculous as they're probably less than a mm each. I suppose I don't exactly sit around staring at the back of my phone.

Be ridiculous. Its your phone. Own it. My first op6 had a small crack on the top near the notch and everyone said the same thing. But I still got it replaced.

It's basically the same as this. The black speck in that photo to the left of the camera is what I have on mine, but mine is to the right of the camera and another further down.

I would say get jt replaced while you can. But be ready to face the same issue with the replacement if it has that.
