Also coming from a S3 it isn't as bright which is fine with me.
I can't say about the S4 though.

Maybe they dimmed it then, lol duh?? It does waste battery so maybe that's why.

They definitely dimmed it down.

Screen burn?

Has anyone else been noticing a screen burn like on a plasma tv? It's all over my notification bar. Do you think VZW will send me a new phone?

You have defective screen penal!

Oh **** so then I'm gonna take it back

Seems some phones are that way. I assure you they are not all that way, I've had mine since release day and have no lines. I do see the 'spotty' patches that can be recreated if you stand on one foot and hold your mouth just right...
Actually i have read that the splotchy screen at lowest screen power is a super amoled + issue and not a skyrocket issue.

I just exchanged one tonight because of the lines just to get another one with the same problem

Turn up the brightness. If its to bad take it back. If you can't see it anymore above 30%-40% keep it.

Help with screen please?

I just got my new gs3 in and ran a screen test to check for dead pixels. On the black screen test I noticed a line about an inch long in the middle of the screen and it was really black. It stood out on the black screen. You can't notice anything other than when it's a black background. Is this normal for these phones or should I get another one. I just got it yesterday. Thanks for the help. I just don't want my screen to be going out already.

These are manufacturing issues present on almost all gs3s. It is normal. Forget what they are called but they seem really black compared to the screen. Honestly not a big deal in day to day use but very noticeable in the dark.

Yeah that's what I mean, I honestly can't even see it unless the background on the screen is black then ill have a little line that Is alot darker.

It's a nature of the OLED screen tech. Very common on phones with this screen tech. Google black spots Oled if you want more information.

Thanks for all your help. I was pissed off when I first saw it. I got my phone though amazon wireless so that would have sucked having to return it

I wonder exactly how many S3 owners have this issue compared to those that don't as I have 3 dark spots as well. I wonder if Verizon will exchange my S3 for another one because of this.

Post pictures you have taken with this device

So far I'm reading alot of you guys are not happy with dim light or challenging situation results. Can you post good and bad shots? Will help other get an idea in deciding. I'm really concerned about indoor shots, dim lights, etc. Thanks.
I took both of these in low light. First is night mode, second is auto mode.
*I have removed the plastic film from the lens. It doesn't actually cover the opening, but the camera does seem to focus a bit better since removing it. Maybe placebo...

Both are without flash.
All of these were taken in artificially lit rooms... average to mediocre lighting.

The camera doesnt seem too bad, but I dont think the camera would do well in a pub or club type of light. But so far I like how the pics look. At least night mode helps.
The camera is fantastic.

In apartment shots (not super low light but not bright our outside lit) are def better than my iphone 5. I recommend turning on auto night mode (switched to night automatically).
Camera is amazing.

Display issue after 4.4.4 upgrade

Hey, so I Just upgraded my moto to 4.4.4 in the UK, and now there's a sort of smudge on my screen near the center left of the display, its very obvious when i use my phone in bed, and it annoys me non stop. The smudge looks like a white fingerprint but its on the display, like a dead pixel or something which it obviously isnt. I will take a photo on my tablet so you can see it, as unsurprisingly it doesnt show up in screenshots. I would greatly prefer software alternatives over hardware ones due to the fact im in quite a rural area. Thanks, Neo

Here's the picture. Sorry for horrible quality, but at least you can distinctly the smudge.

In my opinion, it looks like the display had some water
nothing can be seen well from the photo, it's like an halo under the screen.

Try to dry the humidity with an hair dryer, carefully, really. This was the suggestion I can second, in my opinion. The better photo?

I've been really busy today working, so I'll take one in the morning. Also, if its water under the screen should I put the dryer on minimum heat?

Correct, I suggest medium heat and try short, multiple time heating. Difficult to sort out without a much clearer photo as stated from smbody else.

Here's a "better" photo, as my moto has the best camera of my devices, and my tab 2 has a 3mp shooter so the quality ain't great.
EDIT: been blow drying to seemingly no gain, will try later. In the meantime, any other ideas?

Are ( or is, the spot appears to be the same of the other photo) the places of the screen responsive to touch inputs with your littlest finger?
