No, don't worry, I had trouble understanding, as well. It was a very nondescript title.
Thanksgiving: I bought mine retail price on launch day back around thanksgiving. Had the SIM card trouble, but it only came up using one ROM. Havent used that ROM since and havent seen the SIM error since (never ejected SIM nor reseated it)
St Patrick's Day: Had my phone in by back pocket and was kinda tipsy and well, jumped up actin a fool and it jumped out my pocket too! and fell onto the concrete.. luckily it only cracked the bottom corner, and that crack is nowhere in the way of my screen.
Still rocking strong. Wont send it back for a replacement bc i aint want the OTA
Still on my original DNA....bought it on launch day. Its in a diztronic case and hasn't been dropped. Only thing that happened is the usb flap broke, but I was contemplating ripping that out anyway!
Got mine in December, still mint other than the USB door coming off on its own.

Same here, bought mine second week it came out [hesitently because of first round lemons] but my phone has been nothing but gold for me. Equipped it with an OtterBox at purchase and dropped it over 10 ft while at work. Everything still fully functional including usb flap - which you just need to learn how to have a gentle touch with.
What I've done with my USB flap is just slide it to the left [at the point it's connected] and then is should seat back into position. No notion of it possibly breaking
Sure... I'll bite. To answer the first question, the point of this thread is to run his post count up. But, I am on my second DNA. The first one I hard bricked trying to turn s-off. It was actually just really bad luck. It was to the portion of the process in which it erases and re-writes the boot image, and I lost power. Insta-brick. Anyhow, my DNA is totally durable. My 18 month has thrown it down on the tile floor more times than I can count, and the phone doesn't have any damage. Overall I am more than satisfied with the durability of this device.

I have a brother who's a mechanic so I have that taken care of. T-Mobile sends it out with no charge so I can care less. Jacka$$.
I noticed that the lines stick out very hard when it is cold outside.
I called T-Mobile and they sent me a replacement yesterday.
With my luck, the replacement was water damaged.
I called them and told them and I received the new one today. So far it is looking good!
i notice them too. it is normal. however, i see scratches only when i fog up the screen. I believe it is the coating getting the scratches.
This is my third note. And just like my previous one, a area on the screen (bottom right corner) has formed were the touch is less responsive and it has a different texture. I don't think that this is a residue but rather a burn or maybe something has rubbed off. Again, this is the second time this has happened and in the same exact place. Any help on what I should do would be appreciated.

What case are you using, where do you keep your phone, if this is the second phone to do this then something is going on on your end, I'm just curious as to what do we can eliminate causes
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
I'm on my second Note and I've had the same problem on both. The middle-left part of the screen is covered in dead pixels & scratches. I'm honestly not sure how, I've got the iVisor AG screen protector (peice of crap, falls off after a day of distorting your screen) and the Flip Cover so scratching should NOT be happening. I love the phones performance, but damn if it doesn't have hardware issues.
Worst part is ATT has refused to replace it because it still works. If I run a "Premium Bike Shop" and I sell you some rusty POS unicycle that instead of a seat has a rhyno horn sticking straight up I'm going to replace it for what you paid for. I'm not going to say "Well that tires still spin, don't they?"
Magnet
Does your flip cover have a magnetic catch? If so, is the magnet located just about the bad area on the screen?
I baby my phone. Definitely not any fault on my end.

Small claims court is a beautiful thing.
Sue AT&T for the cost of a new phone, the ~$36 filing fee, any lost wages (for time spent both filing and the day you will spend in court) and a small amount extra for your time (the usual standard is to add the amount your income 'lost' for the time you spent in court & filing AGAIN to the total). You could also add a couple of extra hours of your normal working wage for the time you spent preparing the case as well.
In the long run, if you loose, all youve lost is ~$36 and one day worth of wages but if you win, AT&T will be forced to replace the cost of the phone and hopefully be penalized extra in the process.
Oh, and the 'cost of the phone' bit is if you were to buy it OFF contract because you wont be able to buy it ON contract since you already 'have' a contract.
Bring plenty of documentation proving your returns, the reason for the returns and evidence that this is happening to other people. Your AT&T contract probably isnt a bad idea to bring as well.
Ok I'm not going to sue anyone. I still have a one year warranty right? So that should take care of me for now. And if I am lucky maybe they will exchange one right then and there at the store. The thing that bothers me the most is that what if this happens again? Is it some sort of design flaw? Or did I really just get unlucky twice in a row.

I'm talking about a physical issue with the screen. Not a software problem. It would be nice to know if att stores are acknowledging this screen problem. It seems like after a certain period of time something weres off in the lower right corner. BTW the area is about the size of a half dollar except its oval shaped.

But I dropped my first EVO LTE from the roof of my parents motorhome (about 10 ft. up) when it feel out of my pocket. I have the black tie protection plan from best buy and they ended up just giving me a new phone. I guess it was just too expensive or easier to just replace it. It fell flat on the screen and shattered the glass. Nothing else was damaged from what i could tell. I was surprised they didn't fix it though as it still responded to touch. I was even able to connect it to my tv using an MHL adapter and make a more recent backup before sending it in.
Dropped it from like 3 feet straight down on the screen.....

That is surprising to me. Mine has flown off my lap on onto the street when getting out of the car, fell out of my coat pocket onto the ground, dropped it from a ladder while painting, and dropped it numerous times at home on the floor. Never broke or cracked or nothing. I have a case but never use it. This phone is nice and slim, the case made it too damn bulky.
If you're going to toss it I'll take it. It would be a good experiment phone.

I'm just really surprised to see so many DNA breaks from dropping it. In fact I have never cracked a screen, knock on wood. My old Droid Razr was pretty durable too. Now my daughters ipod touch broke if you looked at too hard, haha JUNK
The DNA is supposed to have triple gorilla glass too. I wonder if some of these are refurbished with fake junk digitizers? The screens should not be shattering that easily.

I had to get a replacement for my DNA, which came with the OTA, due to battery issues. I was looking forward to getting a phone with the old software and when the replacement came it had the old OS; but that had to go back due to the power button being concaved, so it was flush with the top, blown speaker and a dead pixel; and this was how it came out of the box! (100+ point inspection my a$$). The next replacement came and it too had the old software but wouldn't connect to WiFi. I received the third replacement yesterday and it was perfect, but the OTA was pre-installed. Hope you get not only the old software version but also a workable phone.

You can keep it, but don't sell it. When you report your phone lost, the carrier gives it a bad ESN.

well i suppose so yes it could be outside of the boundaries of the insurance agreement but i pay a subsidy and an insurance fee for a reason. I could claim the phone was stolen swap the motherboards and sell the broken unit to cover the insurance premium but i wont be doing that. I see no harm no foul. They will be recieving a perfectly functional peice of hardware in the exact condition I reported during the claim... to each his own though
If you swap the motherboard you will be converting the new Dna to the old esn that you just reported lost... So you are just giving yourself a bad esn. Lol
Also its fraud but whatever you want to do

Didn't I post a link with a video? It seems really easy to fix, that's why I wanted it. I even put an ad on craigslist. If you report it lost or stolen you could always "find it again" and they can reverse the bad ESN. My cousin bought a bad ESN phone from ebay. Verizon ended up calling the original owner and he went ahead and released it, they made the ESN good again. I don't know all the details but that's what he told me, sometime last year.
Hmm options, how much will it cost? Since the phone has to be sent away and cracked open anyway, buy the digitizer and send it to be jtagged, 2 birds with one stone. It might cost you a little more but you will be golden in the end. Fixed phone and S-off.
So I backed this project ( http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/andyfei/mini-microsd-reader-for-android-smartphones-and-ta ) couple months ago and I just received it today posting here if anybody interested in picking one up it sounds like they'll start selling it soon to non backers. Way better than using this OTG like cable I've been using for a while now!

Should have been one whole piece of rubber or whatever they used for the hinge.
The issue (for me at least) was the rubber peeled off the plastic cover. I used a drop of super glue to reattach it. It's been 7 months and I've had zero problems with it. I think the phone looks butt ugly without the cover, so I'm doing everything I can to keep it.
