Similar to the good old 'post your homescreen' thread, this is the place to show off your pretty Newton Rings.
A small description how you achieved the rings for the other users would be great (left it upside down, used original case, exposed to room temperature etc.).
Here's the first one...

They will have to replace it until it doesn't have the rings or refund your money, so what's the problem? ? Mine doesn't have the rings,
So there must be plenty that don't, to use to replace the bad ones.
Sent from my Galaxy Tab 10.1
Of course they will have to and they are just replacing mine.
The problem is that I wanted to see other affected screens but you have something against it.
Do you work for Samsung?
out of curiosity have people been able to take them back months after purchase? I got mine in July it had the ring a day or so later, took it back, got another, and just yesterday i noticed i had the rings when slightly pressing on it, and now i'm guessing it's only a matter of time before it shows up....naturally i do not have a receipt any longer and not sure i'll be able to return it to best buy without it or because it's been so long???

Funny thread, lol. Can see some people have it worse than mine. I'm in the uk with a us model too. I know there's a few threads about the problem but I am amazed and somewhat comforted by how many people have the issue. I am using the Samsung book cover which could be making this worse.
Took mine back to Curry's, the manager said all models had it, even their display model. (I had the 16GB black model, and got a refund.)
Then ordered the 32GB white model, and so far no newton rings, I will keep getting replacements if it manifests again though, for something this expensive, it's only logical to expect something perfect and free of fault. Cosmetic or not.
there seems to be an inherent manufacturing defect in the screen of the Samsung galaxy tab 10.1, in that it develops an oily slick / newton rings( just google newton rings oil slick galaxy tabs and you will see the extent of the defect ) ,when the tablet has been used for approximately a week , this does not affect all the tablets but around 45-60 pct. are affected , I have written to Samsung uk asking for a change under warranty , they have refused saying that because I bought the tablet overseas they cannot repair it .
I may understand some of that , if it was a warranty claim , however as a manufacturing defect this becomes too much ! , I am NOW trying to assemble as many people as possible to mount a legal case against Samsung uk , as they are refusing to repair any tablet that was bought outside their territory and they have known about that defect for a while now
if anyone is interested please let me know and I will send you my pm

I need to go back and read your thread I guess... how is a cracked screen preventing you from getting your babies pics man? I am ubber confused by that.
Its not the cracked screen. Ive got 2 vibes. My wifes just crapped out alll of a sudden running stock. Mine had the cracked screen but it dont affect performance. Its been like that since I dropped "gorrilla glass" in the grass a week after I got mine a year ago. Idk wtf happend to hers she made a call on stock and it goes to the vibe bootload screen then dies. I got it into recovery once but ir died before I can save drives. (less then 20 secs).
Samsung says its because its been dropped and wants roughly 200 each to fix my issues even though ones bone stock that turned into a paperweight....
Sent from my Precision Vibrant
wait... hers should EASILY be covered under warranty with Samsung. Assuming a july 15 purch, you should still have until Oct.
Are you saying T-Mo was saying "no," or samsung. If the latter, that is complete BS and I need to get more clarification for how they justify it?
Can you pull the files in the 20 seconds with ADB in bursts?

Phone itself still runs fabulously, minus the main screen haha. Soft LED buttons also work.
Above picture is the aftermath of being ran over by forsure atleast 1 car, but possibly 3.
About a month ago, I attempted to disassemble it & screen swap with a bricked donor to some success. Runs & displays with the donor screen, but I think i ****ed up a couple fuse contact points because random seizure lines strobe once in awhile.
Anywho, it's dissambled into 3 different parts atm: Motherboard, Digitizer/AMOLED pane, and the main shell.
@thehandi,
Have you tried android screencast. Before the gingerbread bootloaders we were using it to see recovery through the rainbows. It will show what should be in your screen. And you can use your mouse to navigate your phone

I wonder if there's a way to find out who makes the LCD panel for the Prime? That looks like LG's handiwork. They had huge issues with screen bleed on the O2X/G2X and got dropped as a supplier to Apple because of it. Sorry you drew the short straw. At least you'll have it to use until you can exchange it or send it in for repair. GameStop has a 30 day return policy for defects so make sure you get on the list for a second wave unit in January if you're going to exchange it.
It's worse in person. The picture dims it more. I don't want a freebie. If later down the road I sell this I have to knock the price down even more and most probably wont even buy it.

EDIT: I need to talk to a manager tomorrow to see what they can do. No one really has them in stock. Also they said they cant do refund since its what they consider a "system". But i'll what the manager can do tomorrow. Maybe I they add my name to the next batch like you said.
I'm not really surprised the way they had to rush these things out. Just sucks I ended up with a bad one.
damn i feel for u bro. i have light bleed but its only really only noticable on the asus boot screen...

I do admit other than the light leakage its built pretty solid. As far my issue, if its anything like any LCD tv there's probably something in there that got stuck between the screen and bezel. Probably easy fix if only I knew how to open it. The build quality is so tight I can't see how the heck they put it together.
You should be able to get a refund.
At least in the UK you would be able to.
If goods are not sold as advertised then auto refund.
If they have display model that does not have screen bleed then it is not sold as advertised.
Good luck.

Me too, although I run out of superglue, so I ended up using two part epoxy glue, painted it with a black permanent marker. Now there is a slight bulge where the glue sits, but such things don't bother me.. And it feels strong and stiff now, unlike the other side speaker cover where it flexes, will wait for it to crack and use the same procedure too

I would return it if HP didn't reset my touchpad.
Or even turn it on, for that matter.
I used superglue and it burnt the plastic, and 2 weeks later the crack started moving again.
Will they replace the whole back cover or just glue it back?

I would imagine if I send this in, they'd just replace it with some refurbished unit (so about the question of CM9 being installed, I'm sure you'll get something back with stock webOS). And I'm a bit worried I might get something with a screen defect or something else considering they don't make the units anymore and probably don't have much left, I'd think all the good stuff has probably been sold by now.
Hmmm... I only paid $150. I might just live with it and hope it doesn't spread.
Oh dang. I just found a second crack from my speaker to bezel. Ugh, this damn this is come part suddenly. Haha, geez. Guess I got what I paid for.

I spoke to webOS support yesterday, the live chat is US only apparently they gave me this number to ring 020 7660 0950. Not open again until Monday though so not been able to speak to these (Same issue :/ Glad I didn't pay the original retail price! You need your serial number handy )
I've had 2 32gbs that both developed speaker cracks. It's a defect that will likely appear again in any refurbished units that get sent back from a repair. I have a nice carbon skin on my touchpad which seems to keep the cracks at bay. If they get worse ill use some good epoxy.

you will need to use ACMUinstaller to take Android completely off (this takes a few minutes). Then run in WebOs, run a complete clean and uninstall (this takes a bit over an hour).
Time from repair to back in your hands
Well, today I found out the 7 - 10 business days begins they day they RECEIVE your TP in the repair center.
This really sucks. All three reps, including a supervisor, expressed it was a turn around time of 7 - 10 days from the date you send your TP in...I am quite upset. I told them I use my device for work. Had I known this to be the truth, I would have waited to send mine in.
Can anyone verify that after sending in your TP, you get the SAME TP back? Like an above posted stated, I really don't want to risk getting a refurb with broken screen etc.
Btw I've got cracks EVERYWHERE; USB port/headphone jack/both speakers. Ugh.
I'd even replace the backing myself if I knew where to get one.
Well, mine is supposedly on its way back to me. I rec'd an email Friday late morning that it is being shipped back to me. I chatted with tech support and was told that mine was repaired. You just have to let them know you want yours returned to you. I even included a note!
I should be getting it Monday morning and I will confirm if it is mine and that the repair was actually done.
oh and UPS does not have much information on their website, but if you call, they have the shipping info.
I have the same problem. Is it OK to send it back with Android installed or do we have to remove it?

Yes, you need to remove Android with ACMEUinstaller.
When you call, specify you want your original unit repaired and sent back to you. I also left a note inside the box.

Did the Sony people accept his claim under warranty? Or did they just insinuate that he dropped it and refused?

he used to shot lots of 4k video.. it could be the gap issue makes the glass unbalance with heat exchange, but haven't notice any gap at the time. it didn't take even three days of use!!
as there is no clarification from Sony.. the defective will count as user fault
another self crack.. and now in the front
So no one else has a crack and you have two....sure you aren't being too rough on the device?
i just sent my z2 to retail for warranty. The front screen maybe unglue near the speaker, i tried to clean them but nothing happen, i'm sure that the front green unglue and the back camera has some dust. i'm very sad, just use z2 for 2 weeks

This is sad really...
Why is it the people doing the complaining have just one post to their name. This started like 3 weeks back. Only one post. You'd think they'd be a bit more worked up right. You read the craziest things on the sony forum.
Have noticed a similar trend on product review sites, for 5 star as well as one star reviews. Just one post and post date is the same as join date and these people are never to be heard from again.
Why does glass break ? either stress or a temperature differential.
Don't cool an overheated phone under the tap. It might 'self crack'.
The most possible reason is overheat.
The water proof phones like z, z1 come with strong adhesive, which expands and then break the glass.
You have to send it for repair or DIY repair.
An original glass can keep the phone waterproof. So you should be careful when select the replacement part for repair.
You can get origianl Sony Xperia phones replacement parts at wirigs.com.
Photoshopped. I can tell by the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my time.
Don't think I've known a set of owners to be so protective over the opinion of their device.
Do you think that there is a conspiracy going on?
Is a fact that most people only turn to the Internet when they have an issue with their phone, so only having one post would be normal.

it's definitely an overheat problem so please guys stop covering up for Sony, if this doesn't happen to you now it could be affected by it later
my advice do not shoot lots of 4K video as it happen to be the most process that rise the temp. very high, till Sony resolve the issue stay away of any hot environment
http://www.xperiablog.net/2014/05/3...peria-z1-cracking-screen-issue-sony-responds/
However, Sony released the following statement to Watchdog, highlighting for the first time that there is an issue:
“In a small proportion of cases, screens have indeed cracked with no identifiable cause and in these instances the phone has been repaired for free.”
sight.. Finally, and there are still people who says that's a Photoshop or an impossible to happen without any force
anyone from UK guys.. can you confirm the statement from Sony?
The statement was made on watchdog, now that they have made the statement on such an open outlet, I imagine any returns on cracked screen with zero frame damage will get a repair under warranty. Whether cover is for a single crack or multiple fractures remains to be seen

Took my Z2 back to CPW today after it got a small crack near the camera after i have been using satnav for an hour. Service centre said sony know about the issue and if you cant feel the crack then it will be heat related. I noticed when i took my phone of the dash the gap between the glass and bezel had grown. I think when it strunk down something might of got stuck in the gap and caused the crack.

Just got my phone back today rear glass replaced free of charge.
So what i thought was initially my home button breaking or wearing out, was actually my screen lifting up. Has anyone seen it this bad?
i can fit my fingernail in there. Would something like this be covered by Samsung? I got the phone at the end of last year. I have even tried putting a dot of superglue in two places and that held for about a day then popped right back up.

So what i thought was initially my home button breaking or wearing out, was actually my screen lifting up. Has anyone seen it this bad?
i can fit my fingernail in there. Would something like this be covered by Samsung? I got the phone at the end of last year. I have even tried putting a dot of superglue in two places and that held for about a day then popped right back up.

if your phone is still under sammy's warranty... it can be a claim of defective workmanship or faulty product. you need to call samsung in texas and find out and send it to them for repairs. here's the number to the tech center: 1-888-987-4357

And if they don't cover it look up a video on how to replace the screen. You should be able to use the same procedure to remove and reinstall it correctly, without superglue. I think it's easier than sending your phone in and not having for a while. Or maybe your service provider will just replace it for you.

price doesnt seem too bad. Id rather not get the kit where you have to glue the screen to the digitizer.

The last time I removed the entire LCD from a Samsung device it was a Tab 2 and I had to completely disassemble the device from the back, it was a huge endeavor.

I don't know that was the first thing I found when I Googled. Look for OEM glass.

If you send it to Samsung, you'll get the same phone back fixed. If you still have you old Vzw phone, Verizon will turn it on so you can still have service while it's being fixed. but try the Vzw dealer and see what they offer. Likely a new phone if it's still under their warranty, and yes, maybe the model that is locked up. but, towel root works on these phones.
