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

A second post? Really?
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.

Get insurance and don't worry about it.
The only reason I got insurance on this phone was purely because of the screen.

Huh? I've called with my old DROID and got a replacement because the colors were messed up on the screen slightly.
Also I got a replacement before because the headphone jack had some static.
Never had an issue. They also cover water, physical and and if it gets stolen so yeah... Not encouraging anything but it is really easy to get a replacement.

What he's saying is for a screen defect the warranty would cover it. So there's no need to pay for insurance.

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.

You created two threads for the same purpose. Also if that is what you were worried about why didn't you say that in the first place about the 1000 hours etc.
Sorry that I tried to help you the first time only for you too make a second thread asking pretty much the same thing.
Also I can be far worse than this and have been. I am sorry I tried to help you since you don't seem to want help.

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 took yout post the wrong way this morning, and didnt read it until later. Could have sworn I ran a no sympathy rom on either the incredible, or nook color. Anywho, was just trying to get a feel for how bad it is, and if it will bother me beyond belief. Like i said, no hard feelings, and thanks.

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.

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?
El Diablo just officially turned on LTE for my part of Ohio. (I've had it on my 900 since day one, with fantastic speeds.) SGS3 feels like a disappointment, it feels like a beefier Nexus. I have one of those bolted to my HDTV.
This guy just really intrigues me. I'm afraid of a refresh though. I hate GB and those damn buttons on the bottom. But. I'm bored. Thoughts?
Get a note?
Should you get a Note? I don't have LTE where I live and more than likely won't until 2090. But there are sooooo many other things I love about my phone.

If you're afraid of a refresh, you'll never buy anything, because the next best thing is always just around the corner. Forget what might be coming (especially if they haven't announced anything about it) and get what you think is going to work for you.
I personally like the buttons, but I can see how some wouldn't. Anyway, they are easy to live with.
Finally ... GB. Haven't run GB in weeks. There's a couple very stable ICS roms out there for the flashing. I wouldn't even bother going back to GB at this point.
Go to the store and try the demo. If you like it, walk out with one. If not, get the one x.

yeah, I thought that was pretty silly too..
I honestly wouldn't, I feel like this phone is way too big and not very practical. There are great ROMs out there and the phone does have some bright points but I would much rather have a Nexus or something similar.
I should say I work out a lot and the Note has not been good for me in those regards, it's just too big to be comfortable. Also I have a lot of signal issues with this phone that have made me less than happy with it.
Just my experience though...
Stock modem is best for signal. If not, yours your service provider.

I "need" food and water to survive, not for you tell me what to do. The point of this thread is to happily listen to the various opinions posted, post my thanks for those posters for sharing valuable time, and decide, in time, what my next purchase is.
And the more I think on your post the more it infuriates the crap out of me. I'm extraordinarily curious as to what makes one "worthy" of a Note? Who appointed you the bestower of "worthiness" to the members of these forums. We were having such a nice discussion before you...
You know? I think it's time for a couple days off from the old XDA. Thanks much to everyone else who took the time to post, I appreciate it. We can close this one off.

Wow, I want some of whatever you are having.
Sure the "need" thing is arguably off-putting. But "worthy"? Did I miss an edit on the post that sent you off?
Eh, bottom line is what are your priorities? Don't think I saw what you were looking for in the original post. For me, I'd still have something with a real qwerty keyboard. I can't type with an iPhone to this date as it is just too small. When the Streak showed up, it was the first device with no physical keyboard I ever could deal with. The Note is the next step. As a bonus, it is the first Android device I ever saw or used that rivaled the ease of use of an iPhone (keyboard notwithstanding). Also the first device I had that weaned many of my iSheep friends away from the dark side. So far, all the converts are happy too. From lauding screen size, to app store choices, to not being annoyed about the speed of the device, they have all been happy.
So, what are you looking for?
As others have alluded to, posting something like this on the Note forum will yield predictably positive responses. Honestly, in this forum its approached i-Fan-like levels of blind following and I was surprised to see someone suggesting you not get it.
Am I happy with mine? Oh, hell yeah. Would I go to anything else? Um, nope. Unless the Note 2 ever shows up, and does something so much better than this thing. I'm currently looking to get a backup one, just in case. Even with as hard as Samsung is pushing this thing, the size isn't for most... I won't hold my breath (despite 5 million sold) that this becomes as popular as the iSheeplephone. I've got 2 Streaks on the shelf for the same reason.... Love the form factor.
I've been thinking about the Note for a while now. I tried to make a Pros/Cons list on whether to buy one or not, and ended up being a draw. Currently I've got a Galaxy Nexus.
I love the HUGE Screen, but it's still very "Samsung-y".
I like the big battery, but just bought an extended battery on my Nexus.
The Camera is really good, but not as quick as the one on my Nexus.
If I buy it, I'll have to extend my contract for 3 years, If I don't, I don't extend my contract.
There seems to be a counterpoint to every point in its favour.
All smart ass comments aside this is the best phone I've ever owned.

I was really up in the air about getting my note, I spent weeks debating it. Eventually I said screw it, I play around on my tiny galaxy S all day long -- the big screen will be so much better, so I got one and the big screen was so much better.
and I lived happily ever after.
Well to make a long story short. I shifted my jeep an my phone in the ottervox was on my dash. I had the doors an tip off an bam my phone goes flying by me. I hurried up an pulled around unto a park an ran out on us12 ( a main highway in my town) . The screen was on an I could see my phone unharmed. I was so happy that my otterbox protected it. There ewere cars comin so I waited just as I see a truck switch lanes an run over my phone. I ran out to it pissed off an I see. The screen shattered an dead pixels on the bottom. My otterbox was smashed to pieces an I inspected my phone. The touch still works but the left half of the screen is black. An I can't read the bottom half of my phone. I'm makin a claim an they are sendin me a s2. So I won't be here much longer. I liked this phone too. I'll post pictures later. Just wanted to say my farewells to this forum. See yah later guys!

believe it or not i actually love this phone,
i don't know what you're talking about
Wow that really bites! I see the silver lining here though, at least you didn't get smashed by the truck while playing in the highway
I'm sure you'll be happy with the Samsung. I'll be getting a Samsung next.
I also love what the devs do for us, but don't feel bad about not thanking anyone when your phone just got smashed. If my phone were smashed, I'd be cussing rather than thanking.
Its a cryin shame that was the last Evo 3D on the planet.

Sorry to here about your loss. Pretty dramatic post to say the least and I feel for you. Personally I think the story wold have hit home for me a bit better if that donate button would had been removed. Kinda looks like you are still asking for donations with a sad story.
That is not to say this was your intent, simply to say what it looks like. I am not a troll and I simply wish you the best...laters.

I'll answer your question with a question.
Why do people start useless farewell threads?
Farewell threads are troll bait and really are not needed. I'm not a fan of them if you can't tell. I'll leave this open for the time being, but you can expect it to close at some point (because undoubtedly the trolls will come).
And side note, too bad they gave you a Crapsung device, If my only option was an iPhone or a Samsung, I'd take the iPhone and I hate Apple with such a passion that every time I even see an apple in the grocery store I want to blow the place up, but I hate Samsung even more, they make crap phones. I've owned a couple Samsung phones and they've all been total feces, wouldn't work half the time and the other half they locked up.

Could you try making a coherent post please? This one makes no sense whatsoever.
My One has a modest gap along most of the top, and you can feel the screen jutting out a bit when you swipe down the notification drawer. But I wouldn't have even noticed these issues if it wasn't for the nitpicky bastards on this forum pointing out every tiny imperfection.
I don't have any dead pixels or other problems, so I'm going to ignore the tiny physical defects and keep my phone instead of returning it 50 times only to get one with different or worse issues.
Who's with me? :thumbup:
I'm very satisfied with my phone, but I still might check back into ATT on day 10 or so to see if new stock is improved.
I have small gaps on top and bottom and screen overhang on my top left corner. It's still the most finely crafted phone I have ever owned.
I think the gap issue is way over blown by the OCD nerds on XDA. I'm sure my phone has flaws but I keep it in its case and I don't spend time just staring at it.

I have the common very slight gap on the top, but I'm keeping my One. There's no use exchanging the phone and maybe getting a worse unit in return. I don't even notice it if I'm not specifically looking for it. My One is in a case, anyway. I've been an iPhone owner for years and I get tired of this "OCD" crap and "I've exchanged my phone fourteen times" every time a phone is released.
Definitely will be returning due to gap gate and the top of the screen sticking out. Will probably wait until the end of the period to see if new stock arrives with fixes to these issues.

That's insulting to someone who really (painfully) suffers from OCD.. Hint.
I have two very small gaps, the screen is recessed at the bottom, and is raised at the top. All very minor. No dead pixels. But I do have a very small piece of some sort of fiber behind the screen. Can't see it during normal use because it is located where the battery indicator / time is located. However, it is clearly noticeable when I turn the screen sideways.
I wish there was some sort of way to move it out. Probably going to exchange it.

Of all the hundreds of posts and reviews I'd read and many HTC's viewed pre-release, this issue was rarely mentioned. It's a mature piece and very well done..actually top of the bunch IMO.

I put that guy on my block list a while back.. The only reason I see what he wrote was because you quoted him..
He has issues!
Report his offensive post, block him and enjoy the phone!
"Gap Gate" isn't a big enough issue to warrant taking my phone back, I think. Certainly not the metal, anyway. The screen overhang is annoying to me (when I notice it - which is almost never in typical usage), but I think I can handle it.
The only thing making me consider returning my phone during the 14-day window is the option to get the developer edition instead. Knowing damn well that AT&T will screw us with updates leaves a very bitter taste in my mouth. I haven't done it yet in the event that the latest software update for the International ROM is for stuff that's already included in the AT&T version, but I'm quite tempted. The fact that international ROMs will work on the AT&T model is the other thing that's holding me back. I just don't want to get into the business of flashing such and such an update all the time if I don't have to. I'm almost certainly going to be staying on a stock ROM of some sort, if only to keep camera functionality (my One XL is using a stock-based ROM right now for just this reason -- the camera is important to me).
Just received my phone today from att.com, it's perfect.

The purpose is to create a thread where people say they ARE staying and that all the talk of gap gate is limited to a few perfectionists who can't deal with even the slightest "defect."

Except that it's yet another thread with "gap gate" in the title. It's not a conspiracy! Do you really think HTC is doing it on purpose? Need to let that term die.
Hey, how come Andrew gets to get up? If he gets up, we'll all get up, it'll be anarchy!
I keep going back and forth on this. I have a small gap on the top and virtually no gap on the bottom. I also have a small nick in the aluminum between the bottom speaker and the screen, right on the corner. I have an overhang on the top and the bottom too. I'm worried if I go exchange it, I'm going to end up with something worse, or with dead pixels or something.
Part of me wants to exchange it and get a developer edition as I think the build quality is overall better on those. Part of me wants to just forget the very minor defects I have and keep it. I only have 2 more days to make my decision though as my 14 days will be up. It's such a great phone overall though.
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.

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.

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.
