hi there, I unfortunately bricked my phone ( as in thise thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756242 ), the thing is that i can still use my warranty, but I changed the whole screen my self a few weeks ago, and the screws are a bit dommaged (see the picture below), I replace the official sticker that was under the battery so it looks like genuine, but i wonder if they will say something ?
do you think i should order new screw and replace the one dommaged?
Thanks you
PS: tell me if you want to see the screw in a better quality , i did the picture pretty fast ^^

Yes-why take a £200 risk.

Yes i should replace the screw, or yes they will notice it has been open?
IF they noticed that i will have to pay? if Yes how much?
Thanks friend
Yes they will notice it and yes you should buy new screws.Whether they will refuse warranty is up to them.You better hope they dont notice the different screen and the imei sticker has been off and on also.
A new board can cost up to £200

IF they notice, i will just have to pay; won't I ?
Are there a lot of chances that they notice it?
If you take a rooted phone in any SC in india even sometimes they dont notice, happened woth me once...
But in your country Samsung’s Employees are Intelligent not bunch of crioks like here.. So the chances are they will identify it... But give a try and say the lie
Peace
Hit Thanks & It will Disappear

What do you want me to say.Only someone thats blind wouldnt notice some prick has been mucking about with the phone.And judging by the pricks "treatment" of the screws,then what else has the aforementioned prick wrecked inside the phone.
Seems like buying 7 screws maybe too much to pay for you.So dont bother,send the phone to Samsung as maybe someone like Stevie Wonder is working there.
I have the 7 [unbutchered] screws here,I would love to send them to you but I cant be arsed going to the post office.
Good luck

Hello there, a few update, I just drop my phone to a samsung center next to me.
The guy was not very nice but in a way he was funny lol.
He "said hum there is some humidity etc did you put it in the water?" I said "no" ( it never went in the water )
Then he said that he wont do the repair himself because if it's off warranty then sammy dont pay him ( " i dont want to work for free grrr " lol )
So he said "do you really want me to send it to sammy?"( he said samsung lol ) "because if they said it 's off warranty then to get it back you pay 29€" i said "ok no problem" i asked him what he thinks about the damage he said that it's probably the motherboard he said it's more than 200€ i said "ok"
And if it's in warranty it's free ^^
I said that i used kies on the device and that was the cause.
There was some dirt under the battery cover, you know the usual one in the cell phone but nothing like big deal, do you think it's might pose a problem?
Since the phone never touched water, there is nt a chance that sammy will said that, is there?
Any way in two weeks he will call me back
And also i told him that the earphones wasnt working( it wasnt ) and that the camera is ****ty ( probably bad lens, i compared to my sister's one and it's like day and night ) do you think they will take a look?
Thanks you for you reading , i appreciate !
up, if anyone has somes answers , thanks
Hi there few update, they just send it back and I got it, for free! They didnt even notice that I changed the screen my self
maybe just maybe they noticed the screen change and swapped it for a older one which will go when your warrenty does run out. did the store man ask if you want ext. warrenty lol just a thought without causing a stirr ive heard of cases like this happening.
No he didnt propose me anything, I kind of recognize the screen i put , ( new etc ) and the place I gave my phone is just a center that send it directly to sammy so they dont do anything themself on the phone!
a bit off topic, but my sensitive input ( menu and back ) dont work very well, first they have less light than my sister one, and it seems you have to touch them "more" to do go back etc , is it a known problem? thanks

I think it is the screen mate, I changed my digitizer on a Galaxy Gio with a new lcd and the touch was so crap and wonky it drove me to get the S2 (which I am forever thankful for)
One thing I have learnt when it comes to these devices, never and I repeat never replace the screen yourself because guaranteed it is a cheaper knock off that is actually not the "original" as they all claim to be on ebay. Mine was "original" and it looked 99.9% like the old one but there were slight differences if you looked at it closely, here and there. And boy oh boy did it not work like the original and the screen was terrible, so I've decided that personally I will rather pay Sammy to have it fixed properly.
Of course if they want to charge me more than the phone was actually worth brand new than I would say stuff it and just get a new one.
Yes may be but apart this problem the screen is perfect so... it was 130€ delivery included so im OK with et.

Take it back. Why would you keep something with an obvious defect when they will exchange it with hardly an explanation? Walk in an tell them what's wrong and you'd like an exchange. They will do it.
It may very well be a dead pixel. Dead pixels are not all that rare. I'd say go to/call sprint and say you want a replacement. Who knows how long it will take for you tovget one though.
I would definitely bring it back....it does look like a dead pixel. I had the same problem with my old 2g iPhone and after a few months of use the dead pixel went straight across the screen overnight. Dont wait just tell them you are not satisfied and want a new one. At least you know too that you wont be getting a refurb this early in the game.
i just called 2 stores and they dont have any in stock =(

That's the only problem with 'take it back', you might have to wait a while. Its not that easy. Sprint stores still have preorders they need to fill as well (which they haven't done yet).
Agreed, swap that sucker out. Good luck on finding one though.. Hopefully the stock issues will get taken care of swiftly.
I had to return my OG evo within the first 30 days because it had the crack by the power button on the casing. Turns out, most of them eventually did this, but they replaced it and before they were giving out refurbs.

If you call them they will drop ship you one just as easily too...I'd call around and see if the stores have any in stock(not likely though)....If not just call and you'll get one shipped to ya for less hassle for going into the store and likely just as fast if they dont have any in stock right now at the store...

SERO plan or something equivalent to that like the EPRP ones?....If so you'll have to get a very very nice customer service rep to do it for you b/c evidently your only supposed to order phones through sprint on those plans...ran into this last year with my 3D and the rep said 3rd party just doesn't have the ability to do it...b/c they are basically employee plans...

Ooh look at me, I've got my new phone. And it works great....... lucky.
I called telesales who transferred me to tech support, and tech support told me that for screen defects I would need to take the phone into a store to swap it. Of course, none of the local stores have any stock.

I got told this as well for my proximity sensor problem. They told me they are not allowed to just ship another phone out... such bull****.
I have a similar spec of dust under the screen in mine. It's so small I barely notice it. Unless there are more serious issues with the device, i'm not going to lose sleep over it or bother returning it.
This spec is only noticeable on a white background. I'm not OCD enough to be bothered by this When viewing the phone in a bright environment (outside), you don't see it at all. Having a spec of dust under the screen protector is much more noticeable than this.
i highly suggest being very carefull because many defects with this evo, my camera doesnt even zoom in and take pictures correctly.....this is insane. i will never give in again, samsung all the way baby
user error? mine works just dandy! recorded the whole Devils celebration over the rangers and too kstills at the same time. zoomed in and out perfectly.
That's tragic, you made the determination that there are lots of defects based on your experience with the phone you got. Seems kind of silly. I would say based on the number of phones shipped, and the few comments on defects I have read in ALL the forums I visit.
In all honesty, both Samsung smartphones I had were buggy. Not just defective, but permanently borked in one way or another. GPS that doesn't lock? Yep, I had one.
Don't swear off one company just because you got a lemon. Samsung has its lemons too. When life hands you lemons.. send it back for a good one
what do i do guys, return with htc... they said 2 week wait
sprint doesnt even have in stock yet, any suggestions????
Mine works just fine too I am only saying this cause I don't want people seeing this and writing it off cause of your one issue.

if it is only a camera issue.. can you live with it for a week or 2.. till they can get you another one?
NO product has zero defects?
you said lots of defects and yet you only listed one???
i have no problems with my camera zooming in or out.. so what else you got?
only problem with my camera is that sometimes it over saturates the picture, but it also works out to my advantate, i take pictures when its getting dark and the grass looks nice and green as if it was a sunny day. Lovin it.

since when has SS become the benchmark for good quality phones? They had a plethora of issues when the S and S2 first released as far as I'm concerned. My cousin got his S2 in Jan/ Feb this yr and it is buggy as hell and by that time the phone had been out way too long.
But anyway my suggestion: return your phone and wait for the S3. I think you will never be able to be satisfied w the quality of HTC phones because you have already formed a conception about them. Even the buggiest Samsung phone will be better than an HTC good phone according you. Return it and get another phone. At the end of the day it's your money your experience you should get what makes you happy. And by doing that you are doing goods as well since there are less negativity going on around.
Cheers.

First u were jumping the HTC ship to Samsung because of one camera defect. Now jumping the smartphone ship altogether because u have to send it to a manufacturer who's willing to fix it for u even though u don't have the original receipt?

guesses why this question?
Perhaps to demonstrate to a carrier representative that the phone is borked in an attempt to obtain a replacement, but maintaining the ability to recover the device in case the plan backfires? Not to be disrespectful to the OP, just the cynic in me I guess.

My guess is that he is going to try for a free upgrade with the boot loop. Then, if it fails, then he can restore his phone.
If I am wrong, I am sorry. But, there is no other possible reason I can think of.

Boot looping or soft brick will only get you in trouble. At&t will still able to get into recovery and see your flash counter raised. Then say bye bye to warranty!
Hahahahahahahahahaha anyone actually knowing what recovery is let alone a flash counter at a local store.... oh man. That made my day.
Btw flash counter is shown in download mode not recovery.

The long awaited Story!
Well First off thanks everyone for not helping me out at all lol! Seems the story is the only reason why you guys even bothered to reply to the question lol. Luckily for me I decided to just download a jellybean Rom and dirty flash and it sure did put me in a boot loop...not entirely what i was looking for because instead of being at the Samsung screen it was a Slimbean screen kept flashing. All that aside, at the end of the day it wasnt even necessary.
But the good part for you all!!! THE STORY!!
I have a Galaxy Note right...Well my sister in law's boyfriend said he had "found" one. She let me know that whenever she tried turning it on it would but 2-4 seconds afterwards it would just shut off. I told her to bring me the phone to check it out, when she brough it to me I tried turning it on and no luck. i tried my battery in their phone and no luck... So then i tried putting it into Recovery...it wouldnt it would just vibrate over and over with black screen. I even tried putting it into download mode to use odin...still no luck. I let her know there really was nothing i could do, what i could do was sell it for parts on ebay. or maybe sell it as is if price was good. she said ok. She was trying to sell it to me and have me fix it and keep it but as i saw i couldnt i refused offer and offered here to do so on ebay.
weeks passed and I never put it up for aution.... she let me know to give the phone back as her dude had a friend who wanted to buy it and he was giving him $100. I ignored it and a week passed by.
I was bored at home and said shoot might as well do some research and see whats really wrong with it or check if someone else has had this experience...and sure enough there was a thread on here. It seems that stupid power button on the phone was stuck. Another member asked the question in this thread and my man Bubbajoe40356 along with some other guys gave us the answered we wanted. After messing with the phone finally got it into download mode and also recovery with pulling out the battery each time after automatic shut off. Opened up the phone, cleaned out the power button and voila!!!
As the phone turned on I saw it was some ones phone i knew (not friend but i knew her) it was actually my sister in laws friend... So i told her i dont think your dude found this phone he JACKED it from your friend...her response was "LMFAO he probably did"... So i figured i dont know the girl and this dude f***ed her over so im going to do the same to him.
I told him I had already sold it on ebay and only got $60 for it and i needed to ship it.
(now the part that this whole thread was created for)
If he was to ask for the phone back and say no F that than he would get a Bootlooping phone and make it seem like phone was still messed up. If he didnt and went along with my plan then he would say ok give me the money and i could revert easily...
Long story short, he took the money and im left with a perfectly fine working note. Im guessing it was already stolen prior as it was running on tmobile since it was already rooted and blaze 4g modem was flashed on it. But I will call Att and make sure and see whats the deal. My plan is to sell it and make money off his stealing ass!

hahahaha she actually hates when i mess with phones... I learned what little i know on mine and hers lol hers was a headache back then. rainbow screens and everything lol she wasnt too impressed and is less now.
First ... Glad we could help diagnose and help fix it ... Even if it was inadvertently..your sister in law and her boy friend sound like peopl I would distance myself from .. As she probably knew all along.
It was a good story well worth the wait. But I personally hate the ending. My rewrite would be to have contacted the rightful owner and return the phone. Also giving her the name of the person you got it from.
My house was broken into years ago and a few things stolen. One thing was a 45 automatic. After 5 years the police in the next town called me in and to my surprise ... returned it to me. I would have been happy to reward the person returning it ...but it was recovered in a drug bust. So they got their reward.
Not sure what will happen when you call att...but personally ... I would never keep it.
Drop a Cisco phone on the lg g2. Lol. I'm completely sad and depressed. Thank god I have insurance/jump. I hope that works.

lol i using my work phone for the time being.
back on my htc one as my personal.
so i filed a claim through assurant. ehh. not looking good. they dont have the lg g2 in the system. the rep was trying to give me the lg g2x. lol. i explained to him the lg g2 is a new phone that just was released. he said it wasnt showing up in the system. i was like its probably cuz the phone doesnt official, release until this wednesday.
i checked my claim today online to see whats up. (had to fax in a document also). they revived the document. so that was good. but the device being claimed was the lg g2x. i was like wtf. called them asap. talk to a rep. explained th phone situation. she made sure that they had to call me before processing the claim to make sure i get the phone that i am supposed to get. she said to call back in 3 days.
dont like this process. why offer insurance if they dont have anything. gonna talk to tmobile in a few days
2 weeks later with the insurance (huge headache i might add), i finally got a replacement yesterday. looked brand new in box. except the stickers were cut, so dunno.

Question is ;
There really was no reason to make this thread. If the stickers were cut get another replacement and cut them yourself or it it works leave it? Simple as right? Wow your phone smashed, like many other people... The G2 has so many useless threads its UNREAL

You're a charming ray of sunshine.
OP, damn, that sucks. I thought these had Gorilla Glass?
Thread closed OP made his point and luckily got a replacement.
So it's been a while since I've used a samsung device (note 3). Normally, the first thing I do when I get a new phone is root it, but I'm concerned that samsung pay will require knox to be intact. Any thoughts? Was a way to reset knox ever discovered for newer samsung phones? Just thinking out loud.

So it's been a while since I've used a samsung device (note 3). Normally, the first thing I do when I get a new phone is root it, but I'm concerned that samsung pay will require knox to be intact.

The only thought to be had about the matter right now is, it might require KNOX, it might not.
It's not even a thing at the moment, so there's just no real information about it out there.
i'm willing to give up root for samsung pay.
samsung pay is so awesome! it said loopPay works with 90% of retailers, so which 10% of retailers dont work?

Plus their talking the summer before it's live and that's just the U.S., and Korea, that means NOTHING in the real world. Who's summer, early or late summer, is it a update the carries must push or just an app? I wanted to give it a go if it was "working out the box" but again it was another Samsung marketing scheme! Note 5, S7, may have it working out the box.

I can't imagine that Knox will be required for samsung pay, but having an unrooted phone might..
Time will tell
Confirmed, samsung pay won't work with rooted phones

how is it confirmed ?
loopPay is not out yet, no one has used it.
I beginning to question... maybe Samsung say s6 support loopPay just so they can sell more phones !
why can't I use loopPay now ? what is with this summer BS ?

It might no be 100% confirmed but common sense would say that it wouldn't work with a modified OS. Payment security is a big deal and massive concern for many company's .

i dont get it either. apple devices support ApplePay at day one. Facepalm.
I'm I the only one whos wondering how this will improve my life? I mean am i missing an obvious feature of sampay? will all my cards suddenly stop working? LoL It'll be cool and all that but how will it change the way I do anything?
Just wondering why so many people won't root for something that a piece of plastic I already have in my wallet does?
I need to be educated more on this topic
Cheers

It wont improve your life..
Logic rarely comes into play when a cell phone feature is marketed as "must have";
The reality is, if you plan on using your cell phone as your financial conduit in your daily life, you have to be prepared to deal with the consequences of identity theft, hackers, and the nightmare of a lost or misplaced /hacked/phone /credit card machine..
I mean I have used Google wallet a couple times for proof of concept, but I am much too cautious, and concerned about using ANY electronic device in the manner that Samsung is hawking this process; don't forget, Samsung will make a commission on EVERY TRANSACTION you might do with your cell phone, so, as always, its only motivation is more profit for Samsung, nothing more, and nothing less
If you are all for that, enjoy this procedure, whenever it happens to come out.
But, the vast majority of us will continue to pay as we always have..
Its just as easy to take a credit card out of my pocket, as it is to take my cell phone out of my pocket..

It won't drastically improve your life, but it's a practical feature that can be useful for some people. Maybe for people who don't like carrying wallets. You can just stick your ID in between your phone and your phone case, and you're good to go.
Also, if you forget your wallet... Something that might happen these days considering how everyone has their phone with them no matter what.
If we can use Samsung pay with next Gear Watch like Apple did with their Watch... Man, that is huge.
