About a week ago I started having the same issue as the person who started this thread:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/25020-screen-pixelated/
Now my question is, I have a ding in the casing of my phone that happened long before the screen issues. Would Verizon warranty my phone even with the ding in it? Seeing how the screen problems aren't related to the ding? And if they were to, would they charge me full retail for the replacement phone once they get my old one and see the ding?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Here's a picture of the ding in case anyone asks.
It looks worse in the picture than it really is.

Bad thread URL, bro. But for them to deny warranty work, they have to prove that the ding is related, so I would say you are good, as long as you arent taking it to them for the ding.

Thanks for the catch.
That's a little bigger than a "ding"...
As adrynalyne said, unless they think the screen issues are related to the case damage, you should be good. Kinda depends on the CS rep you get.

I wonder if anyone can help. I did search the site but couldn't find anyone with similar problems.
The problem is the screen colours are 'messed up' and it rarely displays the screen correctly. I know its a problem like a lose or damaged connection inside the phone but I want to know if it will get fixed out of warranty? If so where do I start?
If the warranty is useless then I will crack the phone open and have a look myself, but I didn't want to open it if HTC will fix it.
Its an O2 XDA IIs by the way with the latest O2 software.
Here is a pic:

It doesn't look too bad in that pic, but it gets worse and sometimes fades to white.
Thanks
F355,
Akthough I'm no specialist, it remonds me a problem I had with a graphic card a while ago. It could well be that the graphic chip on the main board is giving way.
If such is the case and the device is still under warranty, u know what to do!

Thats the problem I think its out of warranty. I remember I had a Nokia 8210 about 4 years ago and they fixed that even out of warranty, just wondering if HTC are as good customer service wise. Its probably wear and tear but surely it should be designed to last. My XDA I is much better quality, shame its so big, slow and has no features.
Well I contacted O2 data support and they said that O2 XDAs come with 2 years warranty (the phone is 1yr 1m old) so they are sending a pre-paid envelope and hopefully fixing it.
The only problem is because its 'screen damage' they might not fix it even in warranty and I will have to pay £17 handling fee. :roll:
hi guys I wanna shared this problem with all because maybe someone has an idea to solve.
I have problem when I press on the green areas of the image, I have a little Creaking, but it feels when I press a little hard, but still bothers me because it's a $700 phone, I bought my phone on ebay to a Chinese seller, so I think I'll have to find a solution for myself and I would like to know if anyone can give me an idea to solve this.
Thanks.

Nothing in either sopt for me. I have a minuscule amount creaking up at the very top of the battery door. Just have to push the battery over up a little bit and it goes away.
No creaking for me in those spots or anywhere else.
Ah, I have that creaking...but I have to push very hard. Bought mine via Expansys. Doesn't bother me too much. OP, how much pressure do you have to apply to make it creak?
Yea I definitely have the creaking when I press down around and below the camera. It's annoying b/c that's usually where I rest my finger when I'm on the phone. Is it worth trying to get the device replaced?
It always is and always will be user preference. Some people have lower thresholds for the little annoying things. Getting it replaced is solely up to you. For me, it's not a big enough issue.
No issue here. Sorry.

Hi,
I bought a Galaxy Nexus phone yesterday, and last night I noticed this:

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
As you see, the screen looks a bit more reddish on a side and a little more greenish on the other. It's more noticeable with low brightness levels, especially when displaying white backgrounds.
Is this normal on these phones? Should I get a refund and / or replacement?
Thanks!
These screens have some issues at lower brightness levels.. that's just the screen though. In your case I guess it would come down to how much it bothers you really
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Well, it does. I know these screen have some other issues, such as some noise and granularity, but as far as I've read this is not a common issue. Hence the question, do you guys have it too?

Hallo my friend, seems like we are in the same boat. We have a screen issue thread over 60+ pages in galaxy note Q & A.
check this thread out
The issue u see are definitely associated with these Amoled screens, but the biggest problem of all is the ignorance from everybody thinking it is NORMAL.
Where i say its NOT NORMAL
And still everybody thinks is NORMAL & continue to think they hv the best Super Amoled screen in the world.
I m getting frustrated...
I'd assume that's not normal and it would bother the crap out of me. Try getting a replacement?
try Franco Kernel as it fixes the color... if you buy his app you will be able to control the color to your liking.
but this is definitely not normal

Er, well. If you agree that it's not the way the screen should look, I think I'll get a replacement rather than mess with the kernel. I'll let you know how it went, thanks guys.
Hello guys,
I'm curious about a part that I almost find on every phone but I have no idea what it exactly is...

Looks like an external antenna connection port.
Thanks for the replies,
Is there a possibility to replace this part?
I think i kinda broke it...
I thought it was a reset button (Fail to me ...)
Now I have bad connection/no connection at all..

Yea, heat gun it and solder a new one on.
DON'T stick anything in, I repeat, DON'T stick anything in that hole, i know it's tempting to fulfill your sexual urges, but please DON'T, you won't like it.

I've been searching over the web for a galaxy nexus antenna connecting port(not sure how you should call it) and I can't find a site where I can buy a replacement part...
Do you know where I can find one?

There is a small gap between the face and the body on my watch. Does anyone else have this as well?

Wow that's weird. Return that one! Definitely not ip67
Mine doesn't do this, but the two I have show stuck pixels. The quality control (if there is any) on these things is really disheartening. Dead pixels and now things like this start showing up?!? They hyped the watch for months, you'd think they could figure out how to make it correctly?

I talked with Moto support and they escalated it saying they hadn't seen that issue before. Since I bought it from Best Buy just 2 days prior they recommended I take it back and get another.
Well of course they are out so I just got a refund. Back to the waiting game again. :crying:

just checked mine, doesnt have it.
Went back to BB today and they had a silver. No gap, no stuck pixels, and it's charging as we speak. Since I used it for a few days before having to return it, I really missed some of the functionality. Will be nice to have one again. :victory:
Nope. Mine just had a gap like this on the left but not the right
