Does the Infuse 4G also suffer from the same screen issues as the SGS2?

Im wondering if the Samsung Infuse 4G suffers the same issue with the Galaxy S2's screen issues..
1.) Yellow tinting
2.) Left side is darker than the right
3.) Huge color temperature swings from unit to unit
4.) Difference of white brightness
5.) Visible suction cup marks
6.) White blotches on the screen when a gray image is displayed
7.) Color banding
Any input is appreciated, pictures are also welcome especially if its the notification tray dropped down.

I personally have not had any of those issues that i can recall or that i can tell.

At the very very bottom of my screen on the Infuse there is a noticeable tearing or bending...whatever you want to call it. I have seen 4 with this small imperfection. Maybe it was a bad batch.

I think it is an intended effect. (bottom of screen) It's really noticeable when you scroll through text.
The issues the OP mentioned, I've seen none of.

It's clearly not an intended effect. It's only the bottom row of pixels anyway.
None of those other problems I have in the slightest.

No problems of any sort here.

Yes! Finally a reason to have zero doubts about not waiting for the SGSII . My screen looks great

tried that page. I do not get the yellow tint at any brightness from what I can tell.

Of my phone?

No. I have had none of the issues you stated on 2 of the infuse's I have owned.

here's a picture of the stuff it does to text at the very bottom. It's a small sliver and is hard to see in a photo. Look at the bottom of the lower case Es, Os, and B and V

to my knowledge, they all have this.

Hopefully it I just a software defect that can be resolved latter.

I had a light spot on my first Infuse. It was only noticeable on dark gray backgrounds. Exchanged because of it and my second and third Infuses didn't have it.
Haven't noticed the other issues mentioned by the OP and I'm pretty particular about screens. Color balance is much better than my old Captivate.

@hwaters
I may just be seeing things but there also looks like a yellowish tint captured by the camera, would be you able to zoom out a bit on the photos something that shows the entire phone but not further away. Thanks!
For those who are willing to contribute pictures please post a picture of the notification tray dropped down with the full phone in view.

My camera was having focusing issues from farther away but I did take a few other pictures earlier today.
If there is some yellow tinting oh well. It may just be an issue with how they may the super amoled plus screens.

White don in the middle of the screen

Hey i have this white dot on the middle of the screen . i mean its white on black backgrounds but not noticable on lighter colours . what could this be ?

I have this problem,I have sent my phone to HTC 5 times now and the problem is still here

Sounds like a stuck pixel. If it was dead it would be black.
There are various apps that are designed to attempt to fix the problem, by flashing the screen to create different levels of pixel activity. But I'm not sure if they will actually do anything.

I have a problem like this as well. It's not a stuck pixel, it looks more like a "smear" on the screen whose pixels won't get as dark as they are supposed to. The problem is most apparent on dark gray backgrounds. You know, the kind that's all over Holo. :/
Never tried to contact HTC about it since I figured it was my fault, but if other people here have exactly the same problem then it may be a more widespread problem.

It's still very hard too see it properly. Has it always been there?
It sort of reminds me of the first LCD TVs that were released that suffered from 'clouding' in the corners. Which could be 'massaged' out of the panel. Yet this is directly in the centre area if the panel. Or even reminds me the knuckle marks on my old Dell monitor (long MMORPG story) that look exactly like that. Damaged pixels that won't fill completely anymore.
I find it hard to imagine how this could happen without direct damaged (which is pretty much impossible in this scenario, without a damaged digitizer). Or without it being a manufacturing issue, prior or even during assembly.

Hmmm strange, I have the same problem since about 2 months. I thought it was my fault because I pressed the screen too hard or something. On my phone it's a dot, not a smudge.

Same here small light grey dot smack bang in the centre of the screen. Only noticeable on dark backgrounds.

Have you opened up the case of the phone at all? If you get something behind the screen it will push the center of it out and create exactly the issue you have.
Even if you haven't opened it up, something could be stuck back there. A big peice of dirt, a small plastic peice that broke up internally, or anything else.
If you have teken the device part, do it again and make sure it's clean behind the screen. If you haven't, send it back for a new one.

Which camera sensor did you get in your S8 or S8+?

In case you weren't aware, Samsung is using two new camera sensors for the S8 and S8+ -- Sony's IMX333 & ISOCELL S5K3H1 (made by Samsung). Apparently both sensors should work relatively the same and take more or less the same quality of pics. Is the Sony one still the preferred sensor this time around? I know that's been the case in past models.
You can find out which sensors you got in your device by downloading AIDA64 from the Play Store.
From there, do as follows:
Open the app and tap on "Devices"
You'll then see what sensors you have for both the front and rear facing cameras. (see pic below)
I have the S8+ (in US, on AT&T) and when I used that app, here's what I got below. Also, apparently when you go into this page, it requests camera permissions, which for this case, I didn't need to do it. When you allow them, some of the info below the focus modes changes.

I knew there was another way to check which sensor you have, at least in the days of the S3, so you didn't have to download an app to find out this info... except I have no idea if it exists and if so, I have no idea how to do it (and I don't remember how to do it for the S3).

I have the exact same stats as yourself. I have a pre-order Orchid Gray T-Mobile model 64GB. I did notice something curious about these stats, though. Notice in the app that it says we do not have support for video stabilization and yet we do actually have an option for such within the camera app settings. I wonder what that is all about?

Same color, lawl. Anyway, yeah, I found that SUPER odd too. If anyone has a better idea about that, please let us know~

Looks like I got the Samsung versions (EU model here)
Rear: SLSI_S5K2L2_FIMC_IS
Front: SLSI_S5K3H1_FIMX_IS

In the Uk on EE we got this one.
I guess the motion stabilization for video uses some different hardware.

Reddish Hue Screen Color Normal ? Return this device ?

Hi Guys,
Need some advice. Just picked up a galaxy s8 plus for my personal device. I had one already for work. Noticed the work device has a much cooler screen and looks more white to me. Noticed the S8 plus i picked up for my personal has a redder hue to it. I tweaked the different modes in display but the personal device just cant get as cool or white as the work device I have. The work device (Left) is the US Snapdragon model and the personal ( right) is the international exynos model. Is this hue worth returning over or is this variation in screens normal. Looked at a Note 8 i have and it resembles the work device and is cooler and whiter as well. Any ways i can get the whites the same on my personal device ? Coincidentally the device on the right was manufactured 4/27/2017 while the device on the left was made 3/23/2017. I have also tried the display tweaks and the *#15987# trick.

Return it. That's how my first looked, and no matter how I adjust the tone, it couldn't get white. My replacement is normal. I almost kept the first thinking it's normal per the number of reports I've seen about it, but I'm so glad I exchanged it.

Thanks for the feedback

red tint is a common issue on Samsung amoled displays! I had to exchange my device 6 times (!!) to get a decent screen, just look at my posts regarding that!

I'd keep it. Looks better than your other one. Definitely more natural

I own a small repair shop and actually had a client with this issue last week. Unfortunately for her, the phone was bought from eBay and it didn't had any warranty, so she couldn't ask for a replacement, thus coming to my shop. I kept looking for a solution all day long, but she eventually sold it.

Thanks

Hopefully they remedy eventually. Was reading and some Note 8's even have the same issue. Guess you have to get used to it.

I would stick with basic. It is what everything but HDR content is supposed to be viewed in.
That yellowish tint is totally normal and how it should be. The phone you have pictured on the left has way too cool of an image.

had to go through about 4 exchanges when the iPhone SE came out due to yellowing on the display, so i feel your pain of going through the hassle of having to exchange 6! fortunately, i lucked out with the S8+ and the first replacement is perfect.

Pixel 3 Fingerprint Scanner misalignment

Hello guys,
I noticed a slight misalignment with my fingerprint scanner on the Pixel 3 White 128 GB. I'm not sure if this is a singular issue or if it affects all other Pixel 3 phones / only this charge. I'm not sure if I should return it / get a new one (bought it today).

Are you sure? I decided to take a magnifying lens. I also heard about this "issue" in a Youtube video about the Pixel 3. It's just a slight line, maybe less than a mm, but it's stil there - on a thousand dollar product.
Or maybe I am wrong. This is something difficult to notice. And only from a certain angle. Maybe you guys can try to reproduce it on your devices?
Maybe only the Clearly White 128 GB charge of the small Pixel 3 is affected. Who knows.

Looks a bit misaligned to me. Mine isn't off center like that, so they're not all that way. Question is if it works ok how OCD are you? Only other thought is if it's not sealed well enough it might allow moisture to get in, but that's the only possible risk I can see if it works well.

I have the same issue on my 128gb white one

same issue on my 64GB not pink @@

Its an optical illusion, as you are looking at shadows through glass. You can see in your second photo, if you remove the "depth" of the shadow layer, the fingerprint sensor sits right in the middle.
Look at the back of your pixel and hold it upside down. Look more normal? Now turn your pixel to the side..any difference?
You can also try looking at it in a semi-dark room. You wont see any shadows, it should look normal.

same issue on my white 64. at first i thought it was just the back glass etching. but it is slightly off center.

Just got my pixel 3 white 64gb and mine is off to the left. Can't un-see now... hopefully the iprating isn't compromised

Just got mine today and same thing, the google expert said nothing wrong. I sent pictures. Same thread on reddit, but i pushed the sensor and it does shift to cover the space, for everyone saying its an optical illusion.

Somewhat related to this, Got a Pixel 3 that had sealing adhesive coming out from top right of the phone. There was not a lot of goo coming out but definitely not acceptable for a $800 phone. It seems the tolerances on Pixel 3 to push them out to market are not great.
