Hello everyone!
I bought my gn3 about a week ago and now i noticed that the lighting isn't even????
Did i damage it or note 3's have this issue?
its visible when the brightness is set to about 30% and on a gray background. its most visible on the left side of the screen (like a slightly brighter tint or something)
can anyone check it on their devices as well for me?
Thanks!
Edit : it's not only on the left side it's all over the screen. when I open the phone app I can see the background isn't one color but scales of dark grey and I think it's supposed to be black.

It's like that and there's really nothing you can do.
Except trying to find another N3 that doesn't have that, or at least in a smaller scale, but good luck with that.
And next time, do some Google searching...The phone is now more than one year old, so any other problems you encounter, you definitely wont be the first one.

Ah, I see.
I'll check my friend's note 3 tomorrow and I'll tell you what I find.
Thanks a lot.

That's normal. Nearly all units have that.

I checked my friend's and it's smoother than mine. Also mine is a little visible all the time.
Well then, since it's in all units I'm okay with it.
Does anyone know what causes it?
Thanks for everyone who replied.

Here's a picture. Look at that left edge.

That definitely isn't normal. I would exchange it.
I see. Well I will try to replace it and see if they are going to accept. Because it's only visible in few lighting conditions. (it also annoys me a lot)

Hm, this looks more like Light Bleed. That does warranty attempting to replace it, it shouldn't have that. (Although it often does in a lot of devices)
Well. What's the cause of that? Is it some loose screw?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app
So I was thinking of replacing it. But before that I made a research about light bleeding. They say it's pretty common. So, I'm afraid if I replace it I get a worse one. What do you guys think?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app
It's a display problem. Samsung will replace it for free.
I see. But what if the new unit has the same issue? Do I keep replacing?

I don't think you will have the same problem. They have to replace the display, if also your new display will be broken, you are a very unlucky person
Well. I will go and see. I will tell you guys what will happen.
Thank you

So I finally have free time and might go replace it within the next week.
And I'll see if I can get a red replacement if they were going to replace it

I went to the Samsung service and I found out the place is no longer there anymore.... Dammit
I think I might just stick to it then? /:

I have no idea where you're from, but there's usually more than one Samsung Service Centre in a country.. You can find the addresses on the Samsung website under Contact.
I just called them and oh gee. It's a 30 minute drive. I'm too lazy to drive for 30 minutes. Also I have exams. So maybe next week? xD
Bare with me guys

i have just seen the new s6 has the push fingerprint scanner and after using the note 4 useless interpretation of it will there be any chance of modding the note 4 to do the same or is it totally different hardware involved?
Probably not.

I think its hardware related,I maybe wrong
Sent from my SM-N910G using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
No way. The note 4 fingerprint scanner is based on a limited line of scanning so need to have a moving finger to scan a whole fingerprint.
S6 and iPhone 6 has a full scale scanner which can read a complete fingerprint.
I wish for the same thing but it is a history. Samsung has change it's sensor manufacturer duo to many complain from user!

Alright so I recently got my OPT but I've had a few problems, 1. It gets hot (dunno temp of snapdragon but battery is 40 c at norm usage) 2. My hardware buttons are slower, I tested this, I enabled on screen navigation buttons and used the same app and went to home, super fast, but if I use the hardware buttons it has a 1 to 2 second delay.. Wtf. Any fixes

1. Last update should have helped with heating.
2. On Screen buttons way quicker. I wouldn't say seconds quicker but noticeably quicker.
Maybe you are having hardware issues.

Hey forum, I just got a s7 edge and am in the market for a tempered glass screen protector.
I've hit Amazon and ebay, scammed through pics and reviews from customers and it looks like there's little to none that cover the whole screen (edges included) that are durable, adhere well and stick to the screen and if there case friendly that would be nice.... If anyone has any they'd recommend Id appreciate it.

Its to hard make them out of glass because the screen is curved. Ive haven't seen any that have gotten good ratings. A few companies like zagg have them on the way. Zagg invisible shield is my go to protector. I'm sure there are a lot of great protectors I have not tried.

Right, I've searched up and down, far and wide... All have flaws right now. I'm waiting for the zagg one, I'm Pretty sure it's gonna be legit. The luvviitt one seems alright right now but there out of stock. In the meantime I'm using a zagg invisi shield.
Thanks for the reply bud appreciate it.

Don't hold your breath for a curved glass protector, it's not going to be good. I tried two of them already lol. This damn edge screen is a curse, but I love the phone.

What Samsung needs to do is address the size of the edge screen slide or allow the option to resize

Or they could just remove it altogether. It serves no purpose for most.

Why buy the Edge if you are not interested in that feature? Why not the S7? Just curious

Gotcha thought the S7 battery was the same. Guess if one doesn't like the feature just turn it off

Don't waste your money on "tempered glass" protector. I've had two different brands and both of them lifted off the phone and cracked. None of them seem to be case friendly.

Hey papa mag, by Amy chance have you received the taken temp glass yet? I'm eager to hear what you half to say about it, this normal screen protector stuff isn't too bad but I'm eager to get my hands on a temp glass that is half decent, the zagg one should drop next month from what I hear.
Sent from my SM-G935T using XDA-Developers mobile app
Yes I did and it was a piece of cake to apply. Unfortunately I was stupid and in too big of a rush to put my case back on. I noticed that one corner of my case was hung up and while trying to fix that issue I cracked the screen protector.
I will say that it lined and matched up perfectly no issues with touch sensitivity the edge feature is less responsive. Do to my own stupidity I have another glass on the way.

F that bro. You'll be just spending money on screen protectors. I still have my Zagg shield that I had to literally cut every single corner in, in order for any of my cases to fit properly. Sucks to not have tempered glass I love it but I rather have my edges. Im looking forward to the note 6. Rumored 4000 MAh battery, and two variants. Everyone including myself will take a note with spen and the beauty of the edge screen along with s7 edge features(water resistant/SDcard). Next year there bringing out the BIG GUNS. With foldable phones. Seeing people really liked the edge I believed Samsung is ready now, back when they revealed the concept(S3) it wouldn't be a good idea, now tho im sure they perfected the technology and were ready for what will bring out next.

I got the Taken Screen protector today. Let's just say I feel "Taken". Protector went on ok and that wasn't the issue. It was a fingerprint/palm print/smudge magnet. It was so bad that I thought there was a protective cover plastic on the glass. Sadly there wasn't. There is a thin piece of sticky adhesive around the inside of the glass that is used to adhere the protector to the phone. This made a crinkly sound anytime you pressed where the adhesive was. After 15 minutes, my screen was naked again.

The recent reviews on Amazon the last couple of days have been terrible and the complaints on the issues are consistent with each other (poor button response, floating SP ect...) Looks like otterbox needs to go back to the drawing board on this one.
Anyone here who actually had the defender in hand care to verify the issue or there experience.

I gave up on Otterbox many years ago. I've used UAG cases on all my phones since the iPhone 5 and can't imagine using anything else. Just got my UAG case for my Note 7 today and love it as much as I've loved it for every other device. I can't recommend it enough.
