I want them to do a recall so that the public will get to know Samsung as makers of defective products. Image is everything nowadays. Just ask Apple.

            [deleted post]"They will never be like Nokia" so true. Because Sammy never sell phones with stone age HW for high price like E7, X7.lolzzz

            btw this error is unnoticeable. brightness drops down to low when GS II reaches to 10% battery. So its time to recharge the battery and you dont want to deal with phone anymore.

            so tell me, what can you do when battery reaches 10%??
            browse web for long?
            shoot photos & videos?? (impossible with 10% battery)
            listen to music or play video?? (impossible with 10% battery)
            use gps, WiFi etc...??

            all you can do is make a call. how much do you worry about that unnoticeable yellow tint when you are making a call?

            ***BTW GSMARENA, you disappointed all Samsung fans..

                Samsung users dont care anyway! They even loved the blue display of the Galaxy S, braggin that it was the best, and very important for them is that it is SAMOLED! And now its SAMOLED-Plus! Yeyy! And both are defective. SGS had to use full brightness to avoid white turning into blue, and full brightness of a AMOLED display is too bright ofcors.

                Its not the first time objective cellfone enthusiasts have to smile at Samsungs owners and their ability to forgive any fault, which samsung units are pretty full of. Various models of corby comes to mind, they didnt work as they were ment to but the owners loved them. This is samsung, they are Samsung fans, they like it no matter how flawed it is.

                For the rest of us: Samsung is not ready to deliver acceptable quality, Galaxy Pad is a good example of a product that has what it takes but fails badly on the stuttering webbrowser and unresponsive touchscreen. Hey, its a pad, the webbrowser should ofcors be GOOD, but it fails on this single most important fucnctionality? They just dont have time to finish a product, being first to the market is all that matters, users get screwed without lubrication and thankfull they like it, coz they are samsung fans =)

                              AnonD-2486, 01 Jun 2011You're saying that sgs II's yellow tint effect isn't a big ... moreYes, in fact, I did make quite logical argument there. Assuming the tint doesn't become any more prominent, as it is hardly noticeable at settings almost all users will use. Common sense.

                              Resolve this issue for next batches of units and recall the defective ones, problem solved.
