Not the one on the battery. I mean like the actual one INSIDE the phone.
Here is an attached picture, are these it? The red dots?
Also, as a second question, if my phone is on stock 2.3.5 via RSD flash(sunfire sbf file), does this count as stock to the manufacture? My bootloader is locked still, can they tell I've modified my phone in the past(such as ROM's or rooting)?
Thanks!
Those would be your liquid damage indicators. Looks like it took a swim. As for the bootloader I'm not sure maybe someone can chime in.

as long as you're running a stock os and stock recovery you're probably good. some people don't even have problems turning it in while it's rooted.

But what is considered stock OS? I flashed it via RSD(the sunfire sbf file)....
And if i do a phone exchange do you think they'll send it back if they look at those indicators? There is no corrosion on the mobo or anything..:good:

sbf'ing is making it stock. aka the os made by moto for the phone.
i'm not entirely sure what they'll do. i don't think they'll send it back, but they might charge you more for a replacement. i hope you have insurance on it!
If the technician knows what they are doing, they will make you go through Asurion (the insurance company). As a former sprint service manager, I'd make ya go through the insurance. That's Sprint's policy.

what color are those dots supposed to be if there wasnt water damage?
Couldnt the op just "paint" it that color?

They are supposed to be white. Yes, theoretically you could paint them white, that's called fraud. Especially if you're dealing with the insurance company, also, I believe you can order new dots online.....Might look into that :hurr:

Well if you do that you're going to want to take it in ASAP. Because if that phone was on after it got wet, the board will start to oxidize and the water markings will turn white or whitish. And they usually know what to look for. As for putting down new ones ya got make sure there's no adhesive or water around where the stickers were.

It's been 3 months since I got water on it.
Also, as for those dots, I ordered some and i'll replace the two dots on my mobo asap. Anybody know of any other locations these things are hiding? Under the mobo maybe?
And where can I order the screw warranty stickers? (they go ontop of screws so you can't open the phone).

Ummm that's fraud and if you take it into a shop that knows what they are doing they will flag your account and mark the phone DBR. I know as I've done it a number of times to people trying to do the exact same thing you are doing.

HA HA, this is unlawful Mate.
The desicant filters, react to the amount of moisture resulting in the color. If they were a pinkish color, you could argue a point. Lavender color mea.ns ok. The fact they are a dark red, indicates severe water contamination. It's military technology. Been around for 50 yrs.
Bright red, well, you have been swimming with it. More or less.
Please don't ask us to do or say something illegal. There are other less scruptulous places that will tell you how to replace the 11 filters.
Just suck it up, and tell them you messed up. Pay the money, and be done with it.

Absolutely, but you beat me to the punch.
Baby Break...
So I just got a new Galaxy S3.
It hasn't been a day and i've noticed a kind of a shade that looks like the "super amoled" logo that's on the sticker that you peel off.
I really hadn't noticed it at first but now it's really annoying on white background.
I've found a picture on the web so that you guys can see my problem.
http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/3724/img2689su.jpg
Is there any way to get rid of this? I've tried running so called burn in fix apps but none of them worked.
I've also tried using wet wipes but it didn't remove it.. so It's not stains or anything and it appears like its burnt on the screen
Everything else is great about this phone but it's just this shade that looks like "c" that annoys me!
I have 6 months warranty but my dad bought it in Japan and he just returned from there and it's not like he's there every month so it's a bit of a problem.
If you have any solutions or if anyone here encountered the same thing please please share your experience.
Thanks in advance!

no alcohol is not dangerous (or any other liquid), as long as you do not let it seep through the sides of the phone.
I don't think that mark is inside, the plastic cover is outside and I don't imagine ever seeing a screen saver image of that type unless you have used one...
Hmmmm, its not only the c, you can see inside of the c the word amoled and on the top you can see the word galaxy s3

No not that I know of, my father took it off.
Anyway how silly it is to put sticker on the phone if there is a risk to get burn in because of sun light?? this is ridiculous from them!
at least warn the customers.
I don't know.. it's not like a stain or something because it seems imprinted inside the screen ;(
and that photo is not mine but I do have that same 'C' right in the same location obviously from the sticker
Wtf that's some weird issue you have there mate

Return it or get it exchanged. That screen got exposed to sunlight while having the sticker on.
Probably a display unit (which you would not want to have).
Best of luck mate.

SGS3 comes in a box so does not get exposed to sunlight .

What's a display unit exactly?
And this phone is from AKKY INTERNATIONAL in akihabra they have a website in English and everything so I'll try to contact them hopefully it will go well. I dont even know the procedure of this.. will they ask me to ship the phone to them?

A unit to display in a store . It has no network hardware ,

Ship or take to them .
Fact is standard warranty from a vendor is usually 12 months standard limited warranty from Samsung is 24 months .

According to their website there is also 6 months limited japan warranty.
I will contact them and I will also add pictures of the phone and all of the receipts..
And I see that when you ship the item to them you need to fill an RMA form so that no additional customs will be charged.
Hello dear XDA Devs,
Is there a fix for screen ghosting (random touch input) for a ZU? Mine often goes crazy if i have warm hands and come near to my device whith them. Same happens if i breath a little bit on the display.
Water marks are white and the device has Root + Locked bootloader
Thanks and Greedings

Firstly try to clean the screen without any stain or greases...
Try to tweak the sensitivity by changing the figure in /system/usr/idc/max1187x_touchscreen_0.idc (touch.filter.level = 5)...
Try to play around to get the best for ur device...
BTW white water marks due to water damage device??

This device has no water damage, that's what i wanted to say . Because of touch.filter.level: Sorry that i didn't sayed that i already tryed this whith best results @ 7, which is too high for a pen input, but the device doesn't go crazy that often.
Yesterday i've seen that you can fix this on Nexus 4 by reisolating a cable. If this is the case on ZU i'm gonna send it in for Warranty.

Better just send back to Sony...
I'm facing similar problems with my ZU =/
After I've tried to replace a protective skin for my display, the phone started to present ghost touching. I mean, a LOT of ghost touching. As my warranty expired a few months ago, I sent the phone to a private maintenance and now they want to replace the whole screen.
Do you think I'll have to replace the screen or maybe there's a way out of this? Here in Brazil, replacing the screen can be as expansive as buying a new phone (and I must confess that I'm tempted to forget about my Z Ultra and buy a Z2), so if I could fix this in some another way... well, that would be terrific.
Thanks in advance!

maybe this will help. Its the Fix i found for the Nexus 7
I started to have a lot of that Phantom touches after taking off my aftermarket screen protector. **** was so annoying. I still have the anti shatter film but don't want to mess with that crap so I installed another screen protector and everything is normal again.
It has been 1 month since installing the new screen protector and no ghost touches.
Sent from my C6833 using XDA Free mobile app
Well... I must confess that the idea of installing a new screen protector never occurred to me
I guess this could worth the shot, actually. Anyway, I've ordered a new display (got a really good price... way way cheaper than the official maintenance was charging), so if the new screen protector won't work out, I'll proceed to replace the whole display.
I just bought an LG V10, in black because that was my only color option.
I prefer the look of the front of the phone on the white version that has the two white panels, one above and one below the screen.
Is there any possible way to get the white panels and swap them out?
From what I've seen, the V10 is pretty easy to take apart so in theory all you would need is the panels to swap out. Might not be available just yet but I'm sure in a few months they will be produced as shells to change the phone.
Here's a video of a teardown, so yeah it looks like you can just get a different case and swap the bits. I'm not 100% sure on this but it may be possible to get a dummy display V10 for cheaper and try to salvage the shell parts of it. The only iffy part would be whether or not the fingerprint sensor would work.

Thanks! Seems like you're optimistic on this which is good.
I actually prefer the black fingerprint sensor/volume/camera ring combined with a white back cover.
I just need those front panels to switch out so the front matches.
Has anyone seen a white vinyl skin where I could just cover the two front panels temporarily?
Try taking them off and use some light costs of plasti dip. If you can be without a phone for a few hours that is.

i had the screen replaced on my s9+ because of the black crushing, the problem is solved now, however, there is another issue
the back glass doesn't seem to be glued perfectly to the phone
can i simply heat the glue with a hairdryer and press it together? or will that damage my device?
thanks!

Whats not perfectly and can you post a pic? Wouldn`t mess with it myself, i assume you have warranty so let the repair centre fix it.
I'd leave it as is and try and get them to sort it out. They are ruthless when it comes to repairs. They refused to repair my wifes S7 because the battery had expanded and cracked and popped the back off. Apparently according to them there was "signs of unauthorised entry" and they refused to replace it based on that, as well as there being water ingress (they have little stickers inside the phone that change colour when water comes into contact. Which they tell me was the reason for the battery expanding.
It got dropped in the bath, once, for a matter of seconds. I might be mistaken, but they're meant to be water resistant up to 5 feet for up to 30 minutes?
they refused to replace the screen, which was damaged (we didnt damage it it just refused to come on despite the rest of the phone working) and they told us that user caused impact has caused it, they wanted £240. I told them to send it back and I'd repair it myself. They sent it back with a new battery "for safety reasons" and then a new back. Which popped off in a matter of seconds. So after all that they solved nothing and saved me money.
thank you for your replies, but i've managed to fix it
i didn't want to bring it again to the repair shop, because it's far away from my home
what i did was i put the phone on a piece of cloth, screen down
then i took a hairdryer and started to heat up the back glass
after it had become too hot to touch, i folded the cloth over the phone and pressed it with my hands
i did this two times and now it's perfectly sealed without any gaps between the glass and the frame

You know that hot glass breaks very easy, so you had luck.
But now your phone may have compromised water resistance.
So samsung does replace the screen under warranty for black crush issues? By fixed, you mean when you watch a dark video with low brightness, the blacks won't become pixelated anymore? Please reply because i might want to send it back to them too.

I had to replace my screen as well because i'd dropped my device and it shattered completely. When i got it back from the repair center i noticed that the battery cover wasn't pressed to the frame all the way. I gave it back to them saying that there was dust trapped underneath the cover (i thought they would refuse my request if i had told them the real reason ) so my camera wouldn't take clear photos. In the end they replaced both of the back cameras and the battery cover looool :laugh::laugh: now it's all glued together as it should be
