Started with a stuck pixel last night. It's gotten progressively worse over the day. Thankfully Verizon said they'd replace it.
I wonder if this is a SAmoled Screen issue or a loose wire issue...

I dont think they give refurbished if its within 14 days.
whatever it is it doesn't appear to be only the screen, even the LED light at the top is purple
Ugh, that sucks! Glad to hear they are replacing it.

This phone is to new for refurbished devices. It'll take a month or two before we start getting refurbished.

Yeah this would be the first phone that I've ever had that happen to. It's kinda shocking. I don't think I'll get a referb with it being so new, but I'll find out tomorrow morning. I sweet talked the rep and got her to ship it overnight. Score haha.
I guess right now it doesn't bother me as much as when it was a stuck pixel. I know the lines there so it doesn't bother me as much. The pixel just annoys the crap outta you because you look for it every time you turn the phone on haha.
I know how that is. Everytime my rezounds screen dark colored I would try to count how many dead pixels I could see in the nickel sized cluster of dead pixels it had. Most i could see were 12 lol. But didnt bother me enough to get a new one.

Just call verizon, sit through their speil. Tell them you have a defective screen. They'll tell you to power cycle the phone, and do a factory restore. It will inevitably end with them sending you a new phone. Everything's gonna be fine

They make some sweet cases with batteries built in. I emailed them a couple weeks ago and finally got a response. First email they sent back was kinda funny. They didn't believe I had the At&t version. Said they didn't think it had been released. Made it funny because I was using my phone to email them.
The model for our phone should be up for sale November 10.
Here's some screenshots of the email.

I'll be getting this case as soon as it's out! I see that they already have the Tmobile version available on their site.
Crap I just bought a extended battery, looks like I'm buying another one.
That looks pretty much ideal.
How much though?
I am ALL over this! Hopefully the case will look nice. By reading the description for the Tmo version, it sounds like the case will be silicone?
probably, the one i had for my inspire was silicone, but the price is nice
Still not out yet. What's up with that!
Maybe they got wind of the Skyrocket and decided to put their R&D effort that way
Just sent them an email asking why it wasn't available yet.
If you are planning on getting one you can sign up on their website to get emailed a discount code when a case is first made available. I imagine once it comes out officially you won't be able to get the discount.

Thanks for the update...
I emailed David a long time ago to confirm the date and never got a response...
I emailed him today and got a response which stated the case would be available on the 25th but in the email he referred to it as the Skyrocket so its probably not for our phones.
Well you see his response to me. Here was my email to him
And yeah, no discount code :-(
They already got the phones mixed up once. Who knows if they got it right this time? Guess we'll have to wait and see. Again.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
How well does their cases protect the phones?
These cases got horrible video reviews on YouTube. Did anyone actually try these?
Based on their responses (or lack thereof) and not being able to distinguish the Skyrocket from our phone, I am not putting any faith anymore in this vendor to be honest.
Too bad -- seemed like a decent alternative.
I know. Makes you wonder about a company that doesn't know their own products.

Why even buy it if you're not going to keep it. Most carriers give you 30 days or something to return, you should have done that.

I would have offered you the same if you can't tell me what an item your selling is worth to you.
To me, its worth $75 then. Tell an asking price if you don't want to be low balled; at let its a base price for some sort of negotiation.

I agree
I have to agree Craigslist has gotten worse over time. I use to be able to sale something and get most of what I spent on it, but now I only get about a fraction. But, I don't entirely blame Craigslist for this, I have come to realize android phones really do not retain there value well because the sheer number of them in the market. I know bringing up Apple may get me flamed but Igadgets do fare a lot better on Craigslist even after the next iteration is released. And yes I own a Note and an IPad 3/hd/New.. Are what ever their calling it now....hahaha
People low ball on iphones too. Ive sold a total of 6 iphones on craigslist...i would know.

Nice almost 4 hours of screen on time in almost 17 hours and you still have 24% battery. Doesn't eat the battery like I thought it was.
How is it compared to the SG2? I mean, the UI in HTC eats a lot more memory than the Samsung's TouchWiz, but the HTC has a bigger battery. Have you had this much battery life/or more on your SG2 with the same activity?
I also own an SG2... But I don't think mine can last this long with 28% screen on time
Not bad. Can I ask what kind of phone signal you're getting in general? From the pic, it looks like maybe not the greatest, in which case getting that duration is especially impressive.
What ROM were you running?

Your digitizer is most likely culprit. Did you recently drop your phone? I had the same issue on my old OG EVO after dropping it. It is hardware related not software I'm pretty sure.

Hey, man did you ever solve this problem? It seems like I have the same issue... Haven't dropped my phone either though..
This happened on my OG EVO, had to get it replaced. Fortunately, just had to pay the $37 for a replacement.

Same crap happened to me. Have TEP so I walked into a Sprint store/repair center and walked out an hour later with a repaired phone (replaced entire screen unit for me). :good:
Same exact zone for me too. Manufacturer defect anyway.
What are my options if I bought it second hand? Do I have a manufacturer warranty or would I have to replace the whole screen + digitizer?
Weirdest thing just happened. I'm using my phone like normal, and all of a sudden I realize that the dead strip is working again... I'd already called in for warranty repair but haven't sent it in yet,, wondering if this problem will come back
Sent from my EVO 4G LTE
I had this same problem with a referb phone that I got. Shortly after I got it it had a dead spot which looks like about the same place as yours. I took it in once and of course it started working as I was walking into the Sprint repair center. However it was back to acting up later that day so a couple days later when I was back in the area I stopped in and they said they had to order parts. So a copule days later i went in and they replaced what ever it was (assuming screen being my screen protector was missing) and it's been great ever since! I had the warranty plan so it didnt' cost me anything. Not sure what the parts would normally cost but if you don't have a plan you'll probably just have to pay for a new screen or what ever it is. Just take it in and I'm sure they'll tell you.

Very nice. Looks like I may have inadvertently helped make this possible for you. Mine had just got a cracked screen so I ordered my replacement Rezound last week from Asurion so it now looks like I got one of the last Rezounds available. At least they included a new battery, battery cover, and new 16gb sd card so I feel like I made out but a DNA would have been nicer. I missed out on this by just a week .:crying: Enjoy...

Well, it isn't all good. The development there isn't as advanced as it is here. Their Android 4.2's seem buggy. And the best Sense 5 rom is a port off the HTC One, not the Butterfly (same phone but japanese version) which had 4.2.2 and Sense 5 rolled out to it. I wish there was a plain old 4.3 out now.... Oh well. You know what they say. If you don't like it, change it. Time for me to start learning how to develop!

Do it! They probably will give you a replacement Rezound. Try the flash on the camera. All the Asurion rebuilt Rezounds has like a reddish hue. Complain and they should try again. If it's the same problem then their policy says you get a new one, not a refurbished one. Hopefully they are still out of new ones and you get merry pickings on a new phone. Try and see if they will give you an iPhone 5. Sell on Ebay for full price and get a brand new/new phone *cough* HTC One
