Anyone knows what colour should be the water damage indicators on our Legends?
I'm gonna send mine in for warranty, cuz my digitizer is dead (Screen not reacting to touch) and just wanna check if those stickers are ok.
I poured a little bit of Cola on it in February so its crucial
I've check mine, and they're snow white, both the battery and phone.
Exactly the same, mine works fine though.
Once again it fixed itself...
Still considering sending it for warranty.
That's the second time the digitizer went dead for a couple of hours :S

Okay, so I woke up this morning and I noticed what appears to be a patch of dead pixels or a screen bleed on the upper left hand corner on my EVO LTE. To be perfectly honest I'm not sure which of the two it is as I have been fortunate enough to not have this issue before. I attached an image in hopes someone can tell what it is exactly, and if it's covered buy the manufacturer's warranty. Either way it kinda blows because if it is covered I know they would probably just send me back a device with the new Hboot. But I just can't take my eyes off of that damn patch :crying: .

Yeah its covered as manufacturers defect
I just noticed the same problem with mine. (see attched pic) I baby phones and it has never been dropped. So what did you end up doing about yours?

it might be cover under warranty if the repair facility does find any signs of CID (customer induced damage). but that will only matter if you are not unlocked and/or rooted. just a heads up
edit: and yes OP, you are correct. when you got your phone back, it would be updated.
It will be exchanged most likely with no questions as screen issues ate covered under manufacturing warranty. As far as the rooting, Sprint allows rooting so only thing that could hold you back is signs of damage resulting from you opening up the cell which doesn't appear to be the case. If you return to Best Buy it should be new exchange without any questions, they have been the best for me so far.

you may in fact be correct as far as sprint goes, but HTC will be a different story. and in my experience, all carriers refer customers back to the manufacturer in cases like that anyway.
Hi!
My Atrix began to develop what seemed to be standard dead (black, unmoving) pixels at first. The dead pixels started spreading as they do quite normally as well.
But then I saw that they are actually translucent grey as in I can kinda see text and other things behind the 'dead' pixels since the 'dead' pixels get darker if text is meant to be on it.
Also, the 'dead' pixels move. MOVE. Like from one place to another. They don't move very far, but they definitely move, leaving a working pixel behind where the 'dead' pixel originally was.
You might want to know that the glass in front of the digitizer and the lcd is cracked from dropping (so touch works totally fine) but the 'dead' pixels started appearing about 8 months after the drop. The dead pixels are nowhere near the main impact point.
Can anyone help me fix this? Since it seems they aren't actually 'dead' is there a way to repair the pixels somehow? I have tried rubbing the pixels with some pressure with my fingers/wet cloth etc. but they didn't work.
PS: Warranty is void since I dropped the phone and because the warranty time finished.
Cheers
Honestly, sounds to me like you got some dust in between the layers that make up the TFT display. Not sure what to do, since this is an extremely tricky operation... I've had something like that on a few screens (not on the Atrix though), what I do is usually just simply get used to it.
Definitely not dust. Its clearly pixels.

I was wondering if anyone else is having a similar problem. I have a vertical bar on the left side (not edge) that has no response to touch. I tried it even in recovery and it doesn't work. Do you guys have any solution other than changing the digitizer?

Nope. I had the same issue where the right 10% of my screen wasn't responsive. Took it to Sprint and it was a bad digitizer. They replaced the whole screen assembly since the digitizer is hard to fix on the 3d. Free for me with TEP, but it would have cost $35.
You can download apps that test the screen and find if you have dead spots or ghost touches. I myself had to lock/re-lock my phone twice to finish this post, cause mine is going bad. :-\

Guys, I dunno how did this happened, it was fine in the early morning, then I went to school, putting my phone into my pocket. At school I used my phone and noticed that blueish tint on the bottom right edge of the screen
Is that burn in or the AMOLED starting to degrade? Or it caused by a contact with magnets like CRT?
I dunno how to fix this now, tried so much Burn-In apps and video, ran them for a few hours, the problem isn't gone.
If only I had to fix the screen, what is the estimated cost?
Because I had just replaced the mainboard of this phone for 150$ :crying:
120 bucks aprox.
Your S2 turned out to be kinda expensive.

Same kinda thing happened to my friends GS2. He dropped it like from a 2 feet height. no damage to the glass or touch screen. but a small purple dot appeared on the top of the screen. And then he switched on the phone next day the whole screen turned into purple. But the phone and the touch worked perfectly. He had to replace the screen for about $160
This phone was in my pocket, no way it's because I dropped the phone (I'm really sure)
Then I'm going to sell this phone maybe.
What if I sell it for 260$? The usual price for a 2nd hand Galaxy S2 in Indonesia is 340$ (and considering I just replaced the mainboard)

So, I sent in my s4 for repair to the repair center in Texas and it seems to have been reviewed. I was told before to send it to them from the Verizon store because I noticed a bubble probably the size of a sesame seed (or smaller) at the top left of the screen. The representative at verizon said that it was most likely a defect in the pixels and to send it in to be looked at. So I did that and sent it in about a week ago and they have put on the repair status Screen / Display / LCD / Touch Panel / LED / LCD Discoloration HPZ31 and they have attached a price of $200 to repair it! I most definitely won't pay this price, if this issue won't cause any long term damage in the future, because it is such a small dot that you can barely see and would not be worth the cost.
I was told that this issue should be covered by the warranty, however because it shouldn't have been caused by physical damage. I have not damaged my phone at all (only accidentally dropped the phone once when it fell out of my pocket on my driveway and the screen wasn't damaged at all or the phone itself.) My phone has always been protected by a case and screen protector btw. So, would there be any way to get this issue repaired without being charged? I haven't called Samsung yet, but plan on calling them tomorrow. Any advice or help will be greatly appreciated and thank you for your time and patience!
If it's that small an issue I don't think I would worry about it imho. Of course now that you know it's there it probably bugs you a bit, lol. Is it worth 200 bucks to stop it from bugging you. Does it interfere with the color display at all, like when the phone is being used is it more visible or is that the only time it is visible. ??
