Odd Phenomenon, faux 3D! - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Hey all, I was looking at the Final Countdown widget on my screen with my glasses (I usually wear contacts) and I noticed the numbers seem to come off the screen just a smidge! I looked at it without my glasses and lo and behold, it was as flat as the screen. Lol Why am I seeing this? I have pretty bad astigmatism, so idk if the difference in my lenses cause this little faux 3D effect? Lemme know what you think!

Yes, I can explain why but it's easier to say that it's an optical illusion because of the way the glasses are compared to the contacts.
Focal points, etc.
I too experience this, I had eye surgery on my left eye but my right eye is perfect vision. Hence I wear contacts as well, tho the right one is so minor I might as well not on that side. When I switch to my glasses, I'll get slightly odd effects, especially at some angles or surfaces.
On a side note, if you see this in your screens, keep in mind it can/will happen elsewhere, like when you're driving with your glasses....

Hahaha, better get out of the oncoming lane then!
Nah, but really, if you have astigmatism, only the actual very center of the glasses lens is truly in focus and some "views" through the lens, if you don't turn your head will be blurry or you may see things that aren't really quite there. You do get used to it over time and tune it out, but if you watch for it, you see it.

Haha It's a good thing I never drive with my glasses! I'm always worried that they'll fall off somehow when I'm driving and, with my vision as bad as it is, I'd be screwed.

Since this thread is sooo not on topic with everything else, mind telling me what brand contacts you wear?
My doc had me switch brands again, hoping these will be more comfortable in the long run.
I went from Purevision Toric monthly to Extreme H2O 54 toric bi weekly.
Purevision was nice, stayed clear and you could sleep in them, but irritated my eyes after 5 hours.
Extreme H2O very comfortable, pricy but collect "gunk" faster, so I end up removing and cleaning them in the afternoons.
Why can't there be a perfect model?

Haven't you ever had a contact fold up in your eye while driving? 100x worse. It happens to me once in a while, and it has almost sent me into the median a couple of times. I don't have glasses anymore, but I can't remember ever having an issue driving with glasses. But, ymmv, I suppose.

I wear glasses and ive noticed this effect.
For example, when looking at titanium backup, some of the entries are red text, and others are gray, white or yellow. The red text seems to stand out in front of the other colors. When i take off my glasses and refocus, the effect go away.
Maybe it has something to do with the coatings they put on the lenses? Ive also noticed when looking at flourescent lights that one edge has a blue halo, the other edge has a yellow halo.

No, not yet, but since I really only need the contact for the one eye, at least I'd still be able to see.

I think it is cool. I wear contacts all the time and never wear my glasses because I feel like I might wake up and my daughter is standing next to the bed and she gets hit because I don't know who she is. Yes my vision is that bad. But I do see the 3D effect that you mention when wearing my glasses. And I also wear acuvue oasis.

New to dinc2 couple of basic?

Hello my wife currently has a d2g and its her 3rd replacement so I called vz with my final straw. I was Not taking another replacement I'm on number 3 enough enough. So long story short there sending me a dinc2 as a replacement. The I was just wondering if there were any known issues I looked around the threads just saw here and there issues nothing specific to all dinc2. It looked like a really great deviceand I'm sure it will be. I how is the battery life btw? And the keyboard for that matter its going to be weird for her not having a slide out. any info is appreciated thanks.
Battery life is great...I had a OG Droid....took me a bit to get used to no slideout keyboard....I use flext9 since I didn't care for the stock style...love the smaller form factor that no physical keyboard allows

Speakers sound terrible at high volumes and the rotating buttons on the bottom show light through the poorly painted black circles around them. I've had 8 replacements in the first month and all were the same or worse. Still love the phone

I really enjoy this phone. I would recommend getting a case for it. I have a couple very small marks where the screen meets the plastic on the edge. I believe it was from laying the phone face down at work. A case with a small lip, so the phone doesn't touch table resolved this. It didn't resolve the marks I already had. :s Battery life is very good!! Once I get this thing rooted, it will be a beast!!!
Yeah my last charge lasted 1 day and a couple hours. Love the phone like I said but it seems poorly built. Probably the worst hardware of any htc phone I've owned before. Even the vibration is different from phone to phone. Some have barely noticeable vibrate some have too strong and makes terrible rattling noises.
What's funny is that my first Dinc2 had the power and volume buttons kinda hard to press, the rattling USB port, and very low vibrations. But this one is loads better than the last one, easy power button, fixed port and earthquake-like vibrations.

T-Mobile Galaxy SIII Review

The Build Quality
Color
Let's start with one of the most prominent complains about the Pebble Blue version... the color of the dedicated home button. To quickly dispel the rumors - it is *not* a different color than the rest of the phone. It is the same exact color, however the reason many people claim it is different or "purple" is because it does not have the glass covering it, so it appears to be a different shade to the untrained eye (the glass adds a slight darkness over the Blue surrounding the face of the device). There is nothing about the color of the phone that is inconsistent. It has a nice, even Blue/Gray metal tone to it, with highlights of purple depending on the light hitting it. Personally I prefer black phones, however I have become accustomed to the Pebble Blue and I can say I definitely prefer it over a white phone. All in all, very happy with the color.
Back plate
I had seen a complaint from someone in the forum that the bottom of the back plate was not completely "flush" on one side. Although it is very minor, I can report a similar finding on mine as well. It doesn't seem to be a defect really, it's just not "perfect" to those of us with phone OCD (which is probably 85% of us on XDA). Overall the back fits well - not something I am worried about. Don't care much for the design coming from the GSII and the GSM Gnex, as I was used to the awesome texture and "inset" style of those back plates, however I do find that the material the GSIII is made of seems to stick to my hands somewhat making it less likely to drop pulling it out of my pocket. I have seen some users calling it "slippery" but I would have to respectfully disagree here. I find it adheres to my hand more than any phone I have ever owned, possibly due to the coating they used on it (that may be why they coated it the way they did). Most of us will probably throw a case on this phone anyway, so it may not even be relevant for most.
"Bezel"
The "bezel" around the glass appears to be made of a different material than the rest of the phone. It looks like it potentially could have problems down the line - almost appears as if it's made with minute cracks, although I believe that is just the look of the material. However, with recent reports of some cracking happening for no apparent reason (though I cannot confirm that the user(s) did not sit on the phone or something similar to cause it) this could potentially be the Achilles Heel of the GSIII. If we see a ton of issues with this, there will be some very unhappy GSIII owners and a slew of returns/replacements. Mine has not exhibited any problems so far, but this is something I will be watching closely. Again, a case is probably going to add some protection here, which is how I intend to stave off any potential problems. One thing that really makes this phone shine is the elimination of the bezel "lip" - your finger slides right over the glass from the side/bottom/top of the phone with no lip in the way, which is a nice change IMO.
Screen
Absolutely amazing. Gorgeous, vibrant HD screen that impressed me more than my GSII did. I do see a small amount of the ink blotting that is all too common with Super AMOLED screens, however it is much more minor than it was on my first GSII and pretty much unnoticeable even watching movies in the dark. The colors literally pop on this bad boy, and the brightness is more than adequate for great viewing in direct sunlight. I've never seen a better screen on a phone, period. I know this is subjective, just my two cents.. couldn't be happier.
The User Experience
Processing Speed
Holy **** Batman. This is the fastest phone I've ever seen in my life, hands down. This thing came flying right out of the box as faster than any over clocked dual-core monstrosity I've ever seen. In addition to the awesome speed I experienced myself, the Quadrant scores were in the high 4800's to low 5100's without any modifications at all. No root, no freezing bloatware, nothing. Handles everything I throw at it without even a hiccup. All while running a Live Wallpaper at 60 fps. Scrollable widgets, scrolling live wallpaper, stuff running in the background, jumping from one app to the next using the home button, nothing slows it down. Nothing. Granted, I am using Apex Launcher instead of TouchWiz but that means TouchWiz is still in the background somewhere since I have not frozen or uninstalled it. Doesn't seem to matter, it runs beautifully. This is true on Wifi or 3G/4G, consistent performance regardless.
Radios
I'm getting the best reception and data speeds on T-Mobile I've ever experienced. In my area, where on a good day I might see 5-6Mbps down, I am routinely getting 11-12Mbs. In my condo where I typically have one to no bars, I have three. Wifi connects like nobody's business, by the time I entered my password it was connected within a second. Literally couldn't even finish reading "obtaining IP address" before it said "connected". And I read very fast. I did notice, however, that the wifi signal strength appears weaker - but did not have any disconnections or problems with it, it just "looked" like I had less signal than on my Gnex & GSII. Still stayed connected, and honestly I probably need a new router because mine is crap anyway.
So far, this is all I have to write about today, I've only had the phone for about 20 hours, I will edit this to conclude my review in the next day or two.
Initial impression - get this phone, you will NOT be sorry. Best phone on the market hands down IMO
back with more later, thanks!

Hi!
I had a chance to look at the pebble blue version of the Samsung Galaxy three phone in a T-Mobile store recently and noticed that when I used the google search engine to look up something, the white background surrounding the websites that loaded up on that page showed some blue tint. Has anyone seen this on their phone?
Also, I noticed that the pebble blue version that I saw in the store had alot of fingerprints. Does that bother anyone, who has this color? Thanks!

Well first, as mentioned before by others, the fluidity. The phone is so fast and smooth. I can't find anything to slow it down yet. Multitasking works flawlessly, which was a huge gripe with the One X. The design is much nicer in my opinion, but I did used to think the One X was nicer before I ever saw the S3. Call quality is much, much clearer on the S3 on both a speaker and regular call. The speaker is louder, which is nice when watching videos or listening to music. Also, I always found the One X to be slightly uncomfortable to hold, but the S3 I've had no complaints about, it's quite nice.
These are just my two cents, no fanboyism whatsoever.

Nice review. I'm enjoying mine after a week and a half. Weird question: do you notice that the screen protector seems to shift around slightly? Sometimes mine is perfectly centered, then when I look at it later it's very clearly too far to one side? And eventually it shifts to the other side or re-centers itself. Either my finger swipes are causing it to slide around or I'm hallucinating!
I just installed this today. Very easy install went on perfect first time. Just have to get used to my fingers not sliding across the screen as well. It's super clear tho can't even really tell it's there unless you are looking for it. Nice sp.

The initial friction you feel goes away and it feels and looks smooth as glass.. I've had mine on for a week and a half now, these things are great. Also, to the guy who said it is sliding around, either you did not install it correctly or you are REALLY putting some pressure into your swipes (even then I don't see these things moving). I have used Steinheill protectors for years, once they are down, they do not move! You are hallucinating.
I just put one on my GS3. Have to admit, its awesome once on. I've had to double check multiple times to make sure its actually there.
Getting it to separate from the back and front covers it ships with was a challenge. I ended up wasting one of the three in the package, but got a good install on my second attempt. Paired mind with a diztronic tpu case. So far no issues -- let's see how it fares long-term.

It doesn't cover from edge to edge but covers the usable portion of the screen. Tbh u can't even really tell it's there and if u have a case it covers the edge of the screen protector (at least with my case it does).

I think is really possible for samsung to build it, i mean if you want to break it...there's no technology that will prevent it. But i see accidentally brakes to become a thing of the past, samsung has come far with its flexible screens(see CES). I don't see flexible screen going to the 'flexible' part of it and more to the 'endurance' part of it. Just because you can bent the screen 180 degrees doesn't make it practical as of today, but i can see a good use to the plastic glass-looking-flexible-screen(just have to make them scratch resistance). I take one please!
I had heard this a few days back...as mentioned above, a truly "unbreakable" screen is a myth and they are misleading you by referring to it as such. An incredibly resistant screen that can avoid breaking under common everyday sorts of accidents though? This I believe. I've seen a few videos around the net featuring some of their experiments with these bendable screens...and they are rather neat. I can honestly see a "flip-phone" style model coming out in a few years (as odd as it sounds)....basically if they keep everything on the phone, except the screen itself, on hinges as two parts...you can fold the phone flip phone style. Pretty neat to think about. I don't see the GS4 featuring this, OR an "unbreakable screen" (I can see this being more realistic for the GS5)...but I have been surprised before
Actually I saw a video of a sample display that Samsung was working on and the user rolled the screen up and unrolled it and started typing on it, it had a dark rim around it and a few lose wires coming from the corner. I thought it was some graphic trick at the time but it was pretty convincing and it was a little bigger than a Note 2 display by the looks of it, more like a tablet display.
Sent from my GS3
Sony had this tech a while ago. As usual, looks like Samsung will take credit for it, though. I wonder why Sony keeps coming up with things, not protect it or market it, and have someone else take credit for it.
No. Sony had a phone with two screens that folded.

I saw this video too... I think this video was using "some" tricks and was more of a marketing video, but not an actual production item. It would be cool, but we are a long time from seeing that. I think he also stretched it out at some point too, correct?
Nokia has had prototype flexible screens for years.

Ironically, I want to get a dust Cap for the earphone port. It was the main source of dust between digitizer and lcd in my sensation.
As for the spen, in assuming you mean the chrome part. You could always buy a new pen, our just use a silver sharpie or other paint pen.
