I really like the build quality and the look of the RAZR, but I live in Egypt and I don't know when it will be released here..
I will be in Germany next month for couple of days and wanted to buy the RAZR from there, but from reading the reviews, I'm afraid that I may buy one that has the screen spots issue and I'll not have enough time to get a replacement...
So my question for the people in Germany, do you also complain about the same screen issues?
Also if you have any suggestions for trusted places selling this phone in Berlin, that will be appreciated
Thanks
I bought mine in Sweden and don't have any issues.
I would guess Germany and Sweden get the same builds.

Countless meaning 5-6 on both AndroidForums and here?
"The RAZR display uses a new high efficiency OLED material. These screens may in some cases exhibit slightly darker regions, like you've noticed. Because the darker regions are only visible when viewing the black screen in a very dark environment, they will not interfere with general use. Most importantly, they don't change over time and are typical for this generation of OLED material. They in no way indicate a problem or defective screen."

Forums sure can be annoying at times. Especially when people read a few threads and assume all the phones are the same. Don't forget, we, the forum people make up a tiny percentage of users. Out of us forum people many of us don't have those issues. You do the math, if you wanna base your phone purchases off of words rather than real life good luck.

How many users who do not have this problem have created threads about NOT HAVING this problem?
How many people have had this phone for at least a week now? 1000? 5000? 10,000? Or maybe more? How does that compare proportionally?
Quite happy with mine, screen quality is the terrific. There, one happy person to give the rest hope. Just stare at it in all environments with all sorts of back ground colors?? What the heck, you should be able to use it for a day in and out (or before you leave the store) and determine through real world use if it suits you eyes. I came from a atrix 4G so maybe I am used to crap?? And this thing looks awesome in comparison??
edit: I do see them now, have to be looking though. If you memorize where they are, you can problem obsessively watch them and grind you teeth. If no one had ever shown me what they look like I would have never found them... still dont care, and it still is a great screen and if you have a OCD go nuts.
I read too many mixed reviews about this issue which made me not sure if this issue will be annoying to me or something that I can live with it..
Anyways thank you everyone ...and I still need suggestions for places to buy the RAZR from Berlin with good price?

I thought it'd be a nice diversion to have a thread for those who are actually happy with their device to let others know that it's not all doom and gloom!

Agree, and it seems even worse when people keep making daily new threads about those same issues.
Happy with mine, only slight - is the battery but with my spare one I really can't complain, when it takes 30 secs to switch and restart the phone.
Who's moaning? Generaly what I see is that people are very pleased with their handsets. It's just, like always, there are some minor points which need improving. Some of which can be done through software updates and for others we need to wait for the S3.
For everyone who talks about these problems, and just read this.
So what? Some might have a tiny yellow line when the brightness is low, and others may have a minor problem with the battery.
But now, think about how great and fast the phone really is, and stop thinking about these minor problems above you barely notice.
So yeah, I love my GS2. It awesome.

Have a browse through any forum on XDA and you'd struggle to believe anyone is actually happy with their handset. Unfortunately the internet is where everyone comes to moan and complain, be it about phones, tablets or socks!
99% of people turn to forums in search of problem resolution, so it is a disproportionate representation you see when looking through. Have you ever been compelled to come online and create a thread to simply say, "Phone is Awesome!"
You know what, I'll say my part......

This is my first Android experience. I upgraded from iPhone 3G which was, with the most current OS, not running properly.
If I use my Galaxy S2 like I did my iPhone, with all communications services running, then my phone lasts less than one day. Recharging the battery takes so much time as well, typically 3-5 hours time. I was at a street festival yesterday and wanted to take a few photos. I launched the camera app and it warned me I didn't have enough disk space (I also have an almost empty 32GB microSD card installed). There are no settings to save photos to the SD card by default. All of a sudden, today, the camera app is now saving photos to the SD card... couldn't it have chosen that option yesterday, when I wanted to take photos? For me the GPS isn't working that well.
Very happy camper here!
I just want to share my misery and frustration...
Well here's my story: I received my nexus 10 in good order (i live in singapore btw), after 5 days of use, i came home one day and found this ant stuck under the glass screen of my N10.
Can someone explain how the heck an ant can even get there?
I guess i have no choice but to ship it back to US to get a replacement.
Wow.....now that's something you don't see everyday. Talk to Google, they should send you a replacement before you send yours back. However your cc will be charged till they get your one with the ant.
Also I thought the LCD was glued to the gorilla glass 2?
lmaoo looks like that ant sure does love that sexy resolution

Exactly! that's what i thought to.. perhaps the ant was there since manufacture?! then today it decided to move right to the centre of the screen and die there. great.

Had to be in there during manufacture. Would be cool if you could identify the species and see where its native to.

Alright, I know if I search, I can find hundreds of articles about how this happens on amoled screens. I am not trying to beat a dead horse, but this will be my first amoled screen. How bad are the black spots? At what point is it bad enough to get a replacement? Being a "power user"(5 hours screen on a day), will the screen degrade before a 2 year contract is up? I jumped on a Rezound when it first came out, and it has burned me, I just don't want to feel let down because my screen went to pot 6 months in. Thanks

Sorry you don't like the answers but here we try again. Every single one of them will have it. Never seen an AMOLED screen that doesn't. Second you could get one worse or get one better. Pure gambling. Also, it doesn't get worse over time.
Apparently all this looking around and searching you didn't bother to read what you found.

Thanks for the responses, except for the douche response from no sympathy. If you dont like stupid questions, dont respond with stupid answers, just skip it. Glad you were able to rage anonymously at a stranger. I asked because i have read that after 1000 hours, the screen degrades. If you do the math, that means the screen starts going out in 7 months. Since this is my first screen that is a amoled, i wanted someone with experience with them. I was asking for personal experience, and it was helpful. Thanks guys.

That's weird. My xda app is showing the same avatar for you and the other guy but it is different on the computer. I went off of that. Sorry! Lol. Fooled by the xda app. Thought you were just posting twice because you didn't like my answer before since these threads are so close and your post in this one mimics what I told the other guy too do.
I generally do have a bad attitude on here. Mostly because when I first joined this site people actually read first and read second and read third before doing things. Now people just either post questions without reading or post issues because they didn't read first. I generally give the person crap but still answer their questions. Could be worse and I could just be a jerk.
Also I don't think I ever made ROMs for the incredible?! If I did go me for doing something I didn't know I did! Haha. I've only released two ROMs and they were for the GSIII back when it first came out and no one could figure out how to deodexe them correctly and I decided I was going to learn how to dev and do it myself. That also led me to get a shorter fuse as if I could teach myself as much as I did, then why should everyone else always get a free ride and just be handed answers.
I also am man enough to admit that I got you mixed up with someone else here. Still doesn't mean you should have resulted in calling me names as to be fair we really didn't need a second thread with this as you could have asked your question in the other thread first.

Just thought I'd put this out there. You WILL get AMOLED burn out just by using the phone. The second the display goes on for the first time the organic substrate is already starting to decay, it's just the way it is.
The catch is how long before you start seeing burned in app drawer rings and notification bars all over grey/white images. I'd expect if you use the phone for hours a day with the brightness up pretty high you could start seeing the burn outs in less than 6 months. They claim something like 15,000 hours of lifetime for the blue pixels, which have it the worst of the 3 colors, but people report seeing them in less than 500 hours. Brightness definitely has a huge impact as running with max brightness will result in much faster burn out.
Does it really matter though is another question. Before anyone flames my post and the information I provided as saying "well you're gonna get a new phone in less than a year anyway" just know that not everyone does that. Some people like to ride out their phones until they really feel it's time to get a new one. With this device I'd anticipate people riding it for at least 3 years and being very satisfied even at the end of the third year, with the performance. That means for those people holding onto this device they should be aware of ways to minimize burn out so they don't end up with eyesores 12 months into ownership.
As for the black spots, yep. Every single AMOLED device I've ever owned (around 4) they've all had it. Very disappointed that my Note 2 has them. Not all of them do but I wouldn't be able to tell you the odds of finding one without the splotches. Just know that I can certifiably say I know what to look for when searching for these spots and my brother's Note 2 100% does not have them. At all. Yeah, I am jelly.
So if you want to play the return/exchange game trying to get a display without the splotches good luck to you. Me personally? My display has 0 dead/stuck pixels. This to me is worth far more than a display with no spots but dead/stuck pixels. And that is my 2 pennies.

That's weird. My xda app is showing the same avatar for you and the other guy but it is different on the computer. I went off of that. Sorry! Lol. Fooled by the xda app. Thought you were just posting twice because you didn't like my answer before since these threads are so close and your post in this one mimics what I told the other guy too do.
I generally do have a bad attitude on here. Mostly because when I first joined this site people actually read first and read second and read third before doing things. Now people just either post questions without reading or post issues because they didn't read first. I generally give the person crap but still answer their questions. Could be worse and I could just be a jerk.
Also I don't think I ever made ROMs for the incredible?! If I did go me for doing something I didn't know I did! Haha. I've only released two ROMs and they were for the GSIII back when it first came out and no one could figure out how to deodexe them correctly and I decided I was going to learn how to dev and do it myself. That also led me to get a shorter fuse as if I could teach myself as much as I did, then why should everyone else always get a free ride and just be handed answers.
I also am man enough to admit that I got you mixed up with someone else here. Still doesn't mean you should have resulted in calling me names as to be fair we really didn't need a second thread with this as you could have asked your question in the other thread first.

I have a minor black streak that is only visible when the screen is displaying a black image. Even a small amount of color on the back background makes it difficult to spot.
Overall I am very happy with the Note 2 screen.
my n7100 after a year now its a horror in the dark..first was some dots and now its in all the screen
Dealing with AT&T has been a pain. The first three devices had a flaw or the other.
1. 1st device had scuffs and scratches and a fully sunken in volume rocker. I'd had to force my fingernail into the volume rocker housing to trigger a response.
2. 2nd one kept rebooting on itself and would show me an exclamation point.
3. 3rd one wouldnt charge past 95% and the speaker grill was raised and wasn't flush with the device.
If anyone has to exchange more than once AT&T will give you a hard time about it, but you reiterate to them and tell them clearly that the device was DOA out of box and/or defective.
This 4th one has been good so far. Crossing my fingers that this one is perfect. Once again I'm disappointed that HTC's device is a beauty, but the quality control has been atrocious. Wonder if it is a batch issue.

Pretty much +1
So that explains why my M8 is on back order lol just kidding!!! Hope you get one that doesn't have problems!
Benefit of the doubt: You're on the losing end of a statistical improbability
Caveat: If you are specifically looking for imperfections you will find them
Hope the next one fits your expectations, spending $650 definitely calls for that
ha just noticed the corners of the screen on mine aren't completely flush with the body. ordered my dev edition from htc.
no biggie in my mind. glad you got it sorted, op.
mine is flawless.
Picked up mine at local att store and it looks great
Mine is very good condition. No issues

My question is, how are people getting unflush speaker grills when there not a separate peice, unless there talking about the whole thing with the speaker holes not being flush.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
My first m8 also had an unflush top speaker grill on the right side. It was literally too long to fit on the space provided, but my 2nd is flawless and I am enamored with it.

All three of them had pretty much unacceptable issues. Especially if its a serious hardware issue, the battery doesnt work, etc. If you're paying premium buck for something then you expect it to come out of the box looking and working like a premium device. Im talking strictly out of the box without user error or damage coming into play. I'm not the only one, look at the links i posted.

Yeah I felt bad for you. 8 hours and not a single reply..
Besides I just said what everyone else was thinking when they read this terrible thread.
In can't wait to get my s5 so I can trade in for the m8. I messed up and jumped on s5 pre-order train not realizing biggest mistake off my life. Lol. Hope its clean. Good luck on your last replacement.

I should edit that to "my biggest tech mistake of my life" LOL. More meant to be of my modding xda ways. I love the phone, hate that they are locking them down. Dont want to wait for a work around. If the HTC was locked I would be stickign with this but now you can unlock the m8 easily I think I have to trade up. I will try both in the store also, if I hate the HTC I wont get it. But for some reason I think Im going to love that metal chassis.

Anyone else find it weird that Note 7's were catching fire dang near daily then all of the sudden after Samsung issues a recall, they stop. Not trickle off. Literally STOP. Can't find 1 single report of a fire after October 11th.
There have been a few, since reported here. One from the 15th. It makes sense. Most of the ones that are going to fail already have, and many are out of circulation and we sure wouldn't hear from Samsung about any of those. It doesn't change anything, I'm glad I eventually returned mine after being in denial for a while.

I can't find the one from October 15th anywhere. I've searched and searched and searched. And even at that, I disagree that the ones that will have caught fire have. It doesn't really make sense that the reports would just literally STOP on one day. Even in recall situations, they trickle off as people return devices/etc. These reports stopped.
There was one in Malaysia, one in Singapore, one in UK and another one which I can't remember where, but it was posted on reddit by the victim's wife. It is probably still happening but people keep it to themselves as Samsung cleared itself of responsibility.
These threads need to stop. There are multiple under this same topic already and when the examples were posted they were ignored. Most people aren't using them anymore. Those who are are using them differently.
There's no conspiracy here. Samsung is privy to way more reports than we will ever know as they saw the return data. They made the decision based on this info and not media info to recall them.
Here's one from the q and a section where the post titles that end with question marks go.

Give me the freedom to have a different opinion about how many users are still using them, about conspiracy or whatever it is and the rest. Samsung still doesn't have any idea whit what was happened. And if you are underestimating the impact created by the media then... take a look at what's happening in US election now. But you are right about the thread.

All I'm saying is consider the fact they see all of the returns. We see just the ones that hit the press. They made the choice based on what they were seeing. I think they had a better idea of the volume/scale of the problem and wouldn't have issued a final recall and stopped production otherwise.
If it was just the US media they could have opted to recall only the us versions and leave the rest of the world market intact. Instead, they recalled all note 7.

I think the 'bad' Note 7's were made in Vietnam and have been returned JMHO.

simple, the news media got bored of that story and moved on to have fun with the US Elections.
it's all about the viewer ratings.
explosions and fires still happens, you just don't hear about it, since no news media is reporting on it.

If they stopped happening and there's no more news coverage, why would Samsung and carriers be blocking the note 7 outright and/or pushing updates to hobble the phone. Oh that's right...they determined the phone to be faulty and dangerous.

The proof is in the fact that Samsung will work it's hardest to get that note out of your hands. First with os updates. Second with carrier blocks. They don't want you to have the phone they made. That's proof enough.

That i's a pretty childish argument... Samsung made an OFFICIAL recall. When it's official it's official and that's it. But even Samsung can't reproduce in lab the problem. And THAT is a big question mark for us. The phone is so faulty and dangerous that even after two months we keep using them without a single problem. ))

No name calling was made sir so I don't appreciate your tone. The facts are the facts. Recall was official and yes they are hobbling phones by limiting charge of all to 60% and also now we have carriers who disabled note 7's across the board. I understand you don't like those facts or agree with them but I would appreciate it if you refrain from name calling.
My point is that Samsung would not be going to all these steps if the problem were mere phantom in nature.

I was a little ironic thinking about the current situation... We still use them even if they say they are dangerous and nothing is happening now. Don't take it personally. Read again my lines and yours and you will see what I'm talking about. When a recall is made that it... they have to take back everything. Even if we like it or not. I agree with that. But the facts are on both sides. The arguments the same. The single problem is WE KNOW something wrong. And we want answers from Samsung. I don't want to talk about the media... they where overreacting about the whole situation. And all of us we know what's happening when they do that. I'm not relaying on media because i don't trust them. I'm relaying on my own knowledge because I'm working in this industry from more than 25 years. And that is my opinion. If you want a technical discussion about that you're very welcome. But again... please, don't take it personally.
