Epic touch white launching jan 8th

Was curious to see if any sites picked up the housing so we can start modding are. Black ones

Why mod the black one? Just get the white one.

That'll still cost me $200....the phone is, what, $550 at BB? (it was $699 at launch). That gives me $350 of buy-back credit. Then I also have to cough up another $40 (or $60) to get another round of buyback...so now we're up to $250 ish.....
I'll take the replacement chassis.

So does the white version have hardware changes? There were some threads earlier saying it might have a different audio processor.

Why not just get a white TPU case or something? Or a white battery cover when those become available? The medly of colours would be cool.

Taking mine to my friend that is a tech at a sprint store. She will change my housing lol

I posted a thread a while back asking if the white version might come with the superior wolfson dac found on the original epic. Anyone with any info?

Does this mean original Epic 4G Touch sales were successful enough to warrant manufacture of a white version?

My wife has the AT&T white Skyrocket. It's nice but I dislike the glossiness & the faux chrome bezel.
If Sprint can keep it matte & omit that fake chrome it will be one sexy beast (so to speak)
After looking at some pics of one obtained by the peeps at Pocket Now, it appears (though hard to tell) that it might be matte & instead of the chrome bezel has a silver one instead.

I hope if some one does find a place to buy the shell of white they post it. Has any one actually taken all the plastic shell off? Hope it doesnt require specialised tools or have a hang up like part of it being connected to the screen or mic/speaker being glued onto the shell

Due to the construction of our screen we probably would be stuck with a black front.

[Q]Shattered Screen!

Today was a sad day. I dropped my GNex when taking it out my pocket to get in my vehicle. It dropped faced down from waist height and landed on some rocks/concrete. It took a chip out the glass and shattered in a few places.
Everything still works which is pretty good I guess no problem with the touch screen
I was crushed when I picket it up and fist saw it. I have a silicon case on it and no screen protector.
I hate cases and screen protectors but if I can get this fixed I will probably use both.
My questions is what's my best options here. My brother got me the phone from UK I use it on TMobileUSA. Basically I have no warranty here and wondered if there is someone in the USA that replaces screens or can send me one to do if not majorly complicated.
My brother said Carphone Warehouse will fix it ~£100 but they send it out. Seeing I use my phone alot for work was hoping to be without for minimal amount of time.
Any ideas? thanks

Send it to Samsung. I've read they will replace screens for $160 or so with a two week turn around.

Yup, you will need phone tools too.. Also found online: Amazon, ebay, etc..
Then just search for a "tear down" and follow the instructions.

I had my Galaxy S2 display broken. Took it to a repair center and saw how easily they put in a completely new front! I don't know if it is just as easy with a Nexus, (and offcourse here only replacing the screen applies as the back is made of one piece of plastic) but it might be worth to look?
You can find a display on ebay by searching for: galaxy nexus front display
I know it is expensive, but shopping a bit around the internet might help?
Advantage of doing it yourself is obviously that you don't have to send your phone away and being phoneless

I ended up sending the phone to my brother back in England. Carphone Warehouse fixed it for ~£79.
But I was too impatient and just ordered a new phone before I sent it off. I now have a screen protector and case
Sucks to break the screen as it can break so easily and there is no easy way to get it fixed in the US with the GSM version bought overseas.

Red and blue dots on screen

Just noticed red and blue dots on the screen of my Nexus 7.. Wondering how they got there and if I can remove them or if it will take a rma
(picture didn't show it all)

That actually looks like LCD burn. My HTC desire is suffering from that. The blue dot is confusing me a bit though. If I were you, definitely RMA it. It will not go away.

This made its way to my Nexus 7 too a week ago , only red and much smaller.. wasn't there before , really have no idea why this happened.

Same here,
Even bigger blue and red blotches. Visible only on highest brightness and black background. I found them with the "Dead Pixel Test".
Should I send it for repair?

same here.
A big Blue splotch visible on the highest brightness in black towards the top right , and a faint red splotch in the middle of the screen. May RMA it but, it will probably have to go back to ASUS for a long time as I bought it from Currys in the UK.

I think I'll end up rmaing mine I just hate how long it will take..
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4

Mine has a blue spot and it was there from day one. It's very small and I never see it unless on a black screen in a dark room. But I have an rma that I ordered on Saturday so hopefully it ships tomorrow. Didn't rma for the blue dot btw. Paid for 2 day shipping so I'm hoping to have it by the end of the week. I don't mind waiting as I get to use my current n7 till I get my new one. So I don't see not rmaing because of how long it will take. The only downfall with doing an RMA is that they will put a hold for the full amount of the tablet plus tax. They offer free 3-5 day free shipping and the hold will fall off usually within a 5 days to a week depending on your bank or card issuer.

Asus screwed up with the 7inch ips on the nexus
Asus obviously messed something up on this device's screen because mine has several red and blue dots as well and a dead pixel as too, I don't think I can RMA it as i have flashed cyanogenmod to it before noticing, can I?

Same here, blue only. And only visible on the Google startup screen, likely cause it's all black.

Just got it on my. Only can see it when I close the web. I wonder if I could replace it through Best Buy. Or through Asus

Just spoken with Asus who asked if I'd set it back to factory setting . told him its nothing to do with software. Going to rma it

Wonder what the manufacture date of those defective units are. I just RMAd my n7 LTE bought new in November 2013 for this very issue. My replacement was manufactured in November 2013. Haven't had any issues *yet* and also the touchscreen bug is gone.

Mine has one blue dot and some light protrusion on the sides. I'm not sure if it's as big as the one in the first picture but it's definitely visible on dark (especially black) backgrounds...

Element Case for Nexus 5

Element Case has some very sexy (and pricey) cases for iPhone and I'm hoping they decide to make one of their higher-end cases for our phones. Would you buy an equivalent style case (presuming similar cost) if one were available for your N5? I'd like to put together a friendly petition of sorts to encourage them to consider it--if we have some interest. I know these cases are pretty costly but they are very pretty.

I'm reading a lot on your forum since few year, but never subscribe :S
but seeing this ''petition'' about element case, I'm in ^^
I will definitly bough this case if it ever come out

I love the case. I would never buy one but I'd be happy to sign a petition.

I'd buy one in a heart beat!
I love my Android phones but have wanted a seriously nice phone/case for many years and NOBODY delivers that for android. There are so many super cool high end cases for iPhones and nothing for android. Even the makers of the cool high end iPhone cases seem to cheap out when they make a version for an Android phone!
In all honestly an iPhone will do what in *need* even without some of the blingy Android toys. I've considered switching just to an iPhone just to have some of the cooler accessories!

I would buy one for sure. Seeing how I already dropped and cracked one n5 screen from a very small drop( luckily I am a Sprint cellphone repair technician). I don't usually use a case because it takes away from the beauty of the phone. But a case like one of those above would indeed enhance the sleek style of the n5. !!--3 thumbs up--!!

I'd buy one even before charging my credit card

At first I was like wow, this is the case I've always wanted but couldn't find. Then I looked at the price. Ouch.

I'm in

$350 phone. $200 case. Does not compute.

Nope. Getting rid of this crappy device soon

mah. id like one but 200 for a case. thats a little steep. carbon fiber might make me change my mind

Well, this way the total price would be equivalent to a regular flagship.

Guys... The price would hardly be $200. They only charge that much for iGeeks. Look at the prices for the S3 and S4.

Crooked screen on brand new Huawei watch

So I got my brand new sealed Huawei watch this morning for Christmas and absolutely love it. However after tinkering and setting it up I noticed the watch face was slightly turned left.... Anyone else see this??
My options now I think are to, call Huawei directly and get a replacement. Or I go to local best buy, buy one, swap the actual watch and return. I can't return from purchaser since it was a gift etc etc rabble rabble..

Call me unethical but I would probably go the Best Buy route. Obviously just return it in the Best Buy box so the numbers match on the box. They may only have the leather band version, but obviously just swap the band too. If you go the Huawei direct route you are sure to get a return / refurb.
I just got myself one for Christmas. I went with BH Photo. $309, no tax, free overnight shipping. I threw on the same watch face that you have on yours in the photo and mine is dead on. Yours is definitely off.

Pictures didn't do it justice. I ended up getting a replacement. I even took it to a store and they said it was as well. Either way I have a perfect watch now.
