Battery kind of loose. - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

I trade my HTC one for a note 2 on craigslist. The note 2 was used for an few months. The battery fits firmly, but kind of loose. It doesn't snap on super tight. Is that normal, or did the person I bought it from take the battery in and out way too much?

Dramatic Difference In Screen Quality (PIC Added)

I just received my replacement t989 from TMobile, and realized my original phone's screen quality was horrible! I powered them on side by side, and my new phone looks clear as day with bold colors, and my original phone looks distorted and VERY yellow! I will post pictures after work. Has anyone else noticed this?

Yes. Also got a replacement recently and I can attest the screens have gotten better on the newer-made phones.
Updated OP with a picture I took of them side by side. You can clearly tell which one is which.
Same here, my previous t989 screen was crappy and the moment I turned on my replacement phone I noticed a huge difference with the screen quality, felt like I am using a whole new phone.

I think the replacement just has a better screen. I don't see them degrading to that extent, especially in this short of time.
If you have insurance T-Mobile discounts the exchange to only $5 and you get free overnight shipping.

i had 3 s3s that got hot 1 note with the black crush screen issue now they sent out another s3 you have 14 to 20 days to return each phone no matter what(no physical damage). tmobile calls it buyers remorse if you bring to a tmobile store and confirm the issue with them it will be on the computer for cust service to see so they dont have you go through the hard reset ect... if your past your 20 days they will send a refurbished phone if you have php.php is awsome, say next year your battery loses capacity or your phone starts acting up call they will send a replacement.

Cracked screen options?

What do you guys think I can do I want another nexus only got 15$ I'm pocket how do my options look?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
If you only have 15 dollars then get a screen protector. That's really your only option if that's your budget. Now if you've had the phone for less than 30 days you can add square trade to it for 99.99

Found that out with my ns4g when truck ran over it 2 months after having it and I took it apart. Craziest thing tho...a large portion of glass is straight gone and it still lights up just can't see anything but lines and a slight green tint and computer sees it if plug into usb. Before my current phone (gnex) came out cheapest could find screen for it was $175. Not i think saw for a hundred. It's been sitting in drawer. Hope my gnex doesn't break and don't want to know how much for screen.

Oh man, no way. You got a sticker?? I'm so jealous.
Removed it as soon as I got the phone, though I'll admit that I probably would've kept it on for a lot longer if it was an Exynos sticker since it sounds so much cooler

Help trying to find out the issue with my phone?

Ive keep being told that everyone hears an echo while I on my side don't hear an echo. Idk if its my phone or what. I tried different roms, and can confirm its not the rom. I also have an otterbox case on my phone. Any ideas before I go back to stock and warranty exchange it?

Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
two things cause this...
First wifi calling to another voip number..
you can limit this by Turning volume down. and while in call tap menu button and turn off the noise reduction. Had this issue two days ago.. I was going Insane..
I also have otter box defender case. Case has nothing to do with it.. Your Mic is picking up your speaker and transmitting it back to the speaker..

Open the dialer, hit menu, call settings then select additional settings then uncheck nose reduction.

Actually its not a echo on my end. More of the caller constantly hear themselves echo. I think its the phone itself, and I have to return to stock to exchange the phone. Its a shame, because I had my phone set up nicely sigh. Just thinking about selling my note 2 smh. Freaking lemon I got.

It's a kind if common problem in Samsung phones. The mic picks up them and send it back over. It's usually fixed my turning off noise reduction, did you try that?

That's happened to me before but it's completely random for me. Most times, they have me on speakerphone so they hear an echo. Most likely not your phone. There are a lot of factors that play in, including different wave interferences and stuff.
But since you mention that everyone hears an echo.. I am probably wrong.
