Will it get worse? Screen Flex Issue

I got my One X over a month ago and all was good. My nephew dropped the phone last week and the phone screen got scratched quite a bit and the phone started playing up. WiFi kept dropping, software freezing. So since I still had insurance with my network I ordered a replacement. I received the replacement yesterday and when I pressed down the the sides of the phone I could see ripples all the way to the top of the screen. I called up and got a replacement for the replacement and it arrived today. Phone was completely drained in battery :S but I let it charge and then tested out the screen. Flex is still there but slightly less. This one is much more usable the the other but I was wondering, will it get worse? Do not remember this problem on my old one. Is it worth getting another replacement or should I stick with it?
Thank you
(1st was HT24, 2nd was SH24, 3rd is HT24)
And now I found a bright white pixel on the screen :crying: I'm seriously considering asking for another, but I'm dreading how bad that one will be.

I do also have a flex on my HOX. I own it already for 3 month. But it doesn't get worse. I think you should not worry about it.

I have no screen flex unroll I push really hard on ny screen and even then its only where I've pressed doesn't spread across the screen.
I would ask for a replacement but that's just me I take things back for the smallest of issues

See the thing is that the new one I received today shows the flex when I push on the side of the screen but but doesn't spread as much as the 2nd one. Seems to be fine with normal use. I'm just hoping it doesn't get worse as the screen is used more. I have 14 days to get this replacement replaced again so I will let you know how I get on.
Any more views would help!
Thank you

You have 14 days so wait for like 10 then get one anyway might get a perfect one

It doesn't affect it. You won't notice it with day to day use either as you won't be pushing that hard.

Impressions & Questions

I've had this phone for a little over three days now. Overall, I absolutely love it. The only smartphones I've ever owned were the Evo lines, so this was a big leap for me, and I'm not sorry. However, there are a few issues with it.
First is a strange antenna issue. I have the Sprint version of the Optimus G, updated and rooted. When the network mode is set to LTE/CDMA, the 3G antenna will only turn on very rarely, leaving me entirely without internet access. I was about to return in when I realized that the issue is solved when I change it to CDMA only. We don't have LTE in my area, so I don't mind leaving my LTE antenna off. I'm not sure if it's an issue with my phone alone, or if it's a software issue that others have.
Then there's the screen. The screen itself is BEAUTIFUL, and I have no issues with it. But the screen scratches like crazy! I am extremely careful with my phones, and this one in particular. I kinda bought it on impulse, so I didn't have time to order a screen protector for it (one should be in tomorrow though). So I have been treating it with extra, almost paranoid caution. It's only ever been in my pocket while at work (nice khakis, so nothing harsh), and otherwise it's been undisturbed on a table. I check my pocket for any abrasive lint often since there's no screen protector on it. But the screen has developed about a dozen or so scratches, and one of them deep enough to distort the screen when it's on. I don't know how this is happening (the deep one happened in the space of five minutes, inbetween two texts, and was merely put into and removed from my pocket.)
Also, the battery life is kinda crappy. I live near a tower, so always have full signal. At work I'm on wifi, so that's not an issue. The battery scarcely lasts through work, with VERY light usage, and is nearly dead by the time I get home. Today, from the time I woke up with it at 100% to the time I got to work (about 2 hours, with constant near-full signal), the phone dropped from 100% to 76%.
Are these normal issues, or am I the only one experiencing them? I want to love this phone so much, but these seem like serious flaws to me.

I too had to change to CDMA so dont know what is wrong with that. And the scratches is weird ive dropped mine a few times and dropped my keys on the screen and nothing. And my battery is phenomenal. Seems like you have a dud.

In regards to the screen....this may sound like a stupid question and I don't mean to offend, but did you remove the temp screen protector that it comes with? I've not had one issue with my screen being scratched and I can't say I've been all that good to it for the last week.

I've had the phone for a full week now and I have not experienced 3G drops with LTE/CDMA mode enabled. Also haven't scratched it either (thankfully). I constantly put it in and out of my jean pocket throughout the day, so I don't really understand how yours got to be that way.
As far as battery life, I too don't see the issues you're having. Typically I pull it off the charger at around 7AM and can easily get 12 hrs+ with normal usage. Even with Android OS taking up the bulk of my battery (seems to be awake a lot). Lot's of people saying its a battery drain bug, etc. etc. etc...but if I'm getting 12 hrs easily, and 24 hrs with light usage, I don't have a problem with that.
-Screen brightness at 60%
-Wifi on all the time (connected at home and at work - probably helps, lol)
-2 Gmail accounts pushed constantly, Facebook messenger, and a few other apps that auto-update on schedule (news readers n stuff)
-My commutes to and from work - I listen/watch podcasts and/or read. Which means the screen is on the entire time (approx a 1hr commute). All said, my screen-on time sits at around 3 hrs for me.
I'll post some screenshots in a minute...

No scratches or weird battery issues here. My first two days the battery life was horrid. Afterwards I did some update and poof like magic.
Anyone have any info on the boot loader unlock initiative? I miss aosp

got this phone for sprint yesterday after having a BB for 5 years .. and i'm loving the beautiful screen,.
Only hiccups is maybe the battery... Yesteday i had it full on 100% then after 2 hours went down to 80%..
I'm currently in the office charging the phone to 100% will remove it and do normal routine on it and see how long it last.

Haha, I actually checked for this before posting. It is absolutely something I'd do.
After reading these and other comments about the phone, I realized I probably had a dud. I went to the Sprint store a couple days ago and swapped it out for a new one, and it's running beautifully, with none of these issues. So I guess I just got a faulty one. Thanks all for responding!

Good to hear! Sorry, I had to ask...my girlfriend had the same problem with her phone she got a couple months ago and it was because the temporary screen protector was still on the phone!

Anyone finding it gets kinda hot? I've read some owners complaining about this and it was mentioned in some review somewhere. Wondering how widespread it might be. Might be that people keep all 4 cores running 24/7. I don't see the point if you're web surfing, talking, texting. I keep it on Eco Mode most the time.

I've only notice it get warm once or twice, but even then it was barely noticeable. But I've had eco mode on since I got the phone, and it's not hesitated or stuttered once.

We are thinking of switching to Sprint, so we went to Best Buy and picked up one of these phones and I'm very impressed with it so far.
Actually this is the second one because the first one had a factory defect in the chrome around the screen. It get home with the 2nd one and notice there is a speck of dust under the glass.
I'm going to return this one in a day or two and see if the third one is a charm. If not, I'm not getting a forth one!
Any suggestions on a different phone for Sprint if this one doesn't work out? To me the only other phone to get would be the Note 2 and then the GS3.

A little help here guys. I was planning to return mine because of battery problem. Like i tried playing Dead Trigger, current battery is 54%, 30 brightness, sync and data is off. I played for good 5 minutes and it dropped to 48%. One more test is after it got 100% full charged, i unplugged it, Wifi is on still 30% and not using it for a couple of minutes it dropped to 97% and im not even using it!
So i want to return it.
The question is:
Do i have to pay for replacement? I got mine at BestBuy for 99$ almost a month ago.
2nd is will still they accept it now it got scratch on four sides. Any suggestion?

As long as it hasn't been over 30 days and the phone doesn't look "abused" then you should be fine, also if it's been under 30 days i would add geeksquad protection especially if you plan on rooting, i thought it was a bad investment at first, then when talking to a tech after my evo4g bricked he just said to "make sure the device doesn't power on" and they will replace it needless to say i took a ballpeen hammer too it and got a shiny new one 2 days later.

I took the LG back and got the GS3. I've already had to clear the cache on the galaxy because of excessive battery drain.
If the GS3 fails me, I'm gonna try the Note 2.

Yep, on eco mode the battery is outstanding. The phones is faster than my wifes S3 on eco mode, and I get nearly 2 days without charging. I had the note II for a week and that is just as good but was too big for me. This phone impresses me everyday.

Defective Mophies...Anyone else?

What's up folks...I've got an issue with three different Mophie's and wanted some opinions.
Upon getting the cases, all works well. Lights are working/displaying, power button is active, switch works great, etc.
On all 3 cases (2 black cases from Best Buy and 1 silver from mophie directly) they randomly become unresponsive and dead to world at random times.
The only way I have found to "revive" them is to plug them in and the lights will show fully charged and ready to roll...only to do the exact same thing less than a minute later.
I've reached out to Mophie, and they had no idea what I was talking about...and I've returned the 2 black cases to Best Buy. I'm due to send the silver one back tomorrow, but was really hoping to avoid doing this, as it's the only case I've come across that I actually like...aside from this lovely little issue, that is.
So yeah...any best practices or anything would be ultra helpful.
Only thing I can really think of at this point would be either my phone or there is just something wrong in general with the packs...but I just find that so hard to believe, as there are countless out there that aren't having these issues. And if they are, I haven't been able to fid anything on line just yet.
Thanks again for any help, I really appreciate it.

I actually had the exact same issue on my first Mophie for the One. I had to kind of "jump start" it even though it was charged. Wouldn't light up or charge. Then I exchanged it after a couple days, and the micro-usb port on the replacement was bent (badly enough that the case wouldn't seal.) The third unit I got works perfectly, I love it. Thankfully I work at Best Buy and exchanging it only took a couple minutes.
I would recommend you swap it out until you get a good one.

Right on. That's kind of what I was afraid of. Good to know it's nothing on my end, just sucks that it might be one of those revolving door issues until I get lucky enough to find one that jives.
Thanks.

Bought my 4th juice pack today. Seemed fine for a few hours...then it hit again. I'm going to just their in the towel, as all these returns are a pain.
Hope others aren't having these same issues

I don't know about dead in minutes, but I've definitely felt the batteries are draining out much, much faster than they should. I'm considering doing a return or exchange to Best Buy (across the street from work, great stuff) soon. At least they price-matched against Amazon post purchase.

Mine does it on occasion, I just deal with it. Over all the case is a lifesaver.

Yeah, I've loved them in the past. But sadly a case that gives me 5% and then is useless until I can give it a jump start from a wall charger for another 5%.
I mean, if I was around a wall charger all the time, I wouldn't need the case.
Really a bummer.

Going through the exact same issue. 4th case from best buy. I'm sending this 4th one to Mophie in hopes that it actually might work.

I had a definite scare where mine wouldn't do jack for the first few days, but now things have evened out, and some error messages on my work computer yesterday tipped me off that the USB port I'd been using to charge was just flat out faulty. I think I'll run caseless for now (or buy a slimmer case), but definitely going to hold onto this for a trip.

Mine is doing the same thing. I bought it and the phone last Friday and used it Saturday but it did not seem to work. This is my fist Mophie and I could not remember what exactly to expect from reading the instructions. I took it home and charged it and all was good, or so I thought. I tried using it Monday and it showed to start charging my phone only for me to start hearing the phone warning of low battery every few seconds. I messed with it and it started working but only charged the phone for an hour than was dead. had to plug in to get a responce from it. I will take it back to BB and try another,.

I've got a replacement phone coming in tomorrow for other reasons...so I'm curious to see if anything changes. I REALLY want to keep this silver mophie, but it isn't looking likely.
Really hope someone from Mophie can voice on the matter, as I'm curious to see how widespread these issues are

One last reply. Replacement phone didn't make any difference. Same issues as before.
Really tempted to keep trying the best buy method, but returning x amount of phones in hope of getting a good one...man.

I'm having the same issue. I already exchanged one case and number two does the same thing. I bought this specifically for a trip I'm going on tomorrow. Not sure I even want a third one now

I-Blason mini review

Ok I went back and forth with what charger case I was going too go with. The to two was this one and the mophie. I went with this one due to the price and they both had the same battery size. Every other mophie I had has went bad in a short time except the very first one I had for my iPhone 3 , that thing lasted for ever.
Ok what I like about this is the feel of it, it has like a soft velvet feel too it. What I don't like is the slow charge warning that comes up when I turn it on. Can some one tell me if the mophie does the same thing, I am on the fence on sending it back and staying with my battery bank that chargers at 2a all day long and charges it fast. The fit and finish I would give a 7.75. Where the two pieces meet there is a very small gap and the mini usb don't line up perfect when you slide the case in. I will test it from completely dead and give every one an update. It will bee soon. If it dose not give me the %80 they say then I will send it back and try another one, or just go with my battery bank. BTW I have the spigen gtr glass one my one and it fits fine.

I have the blason and it works fine. I have dropped the phone onto a tile floor twice and not a scratch so it protects the phone as well.

Dose is gone you the slow charge message

Battery Backup Case (Incipio OffGrid)

Although my Fire Phone gets GREAT battery life, I do find situations that I wish I had a little bit more juice. For instance, if you are out camping for the weekend, or arriving at the airport for an early flight and will be working from your phone most of the day, a little extra battery will keep you from being tethered to a wall.
The Incipio OffGrid Case did the job for me! It adds an extra full day of use to the device. Here is a video review. Let me know if you have any questions!

[advertisement] ... [/advertisement]

Just fyi that incipio case is trash. I bought one off Amazon even after reading the horrid reviews. The case would charge the phone for 4 seconds then the case would shut off. You had to charge the case for a second just to get life to come back to the case. Tried again same problem. Called incipio support and they sent me out a new one. Same problem. They seem to have a major flaw in the case. Maybe some kind of short. I returned the one I got from Amazon and reordered. This was my third case and surprise same problem. 3 cases with the same problem means faulty cases. One did last a couple days before the problem occurred but end results all 3 cases had the exact same problem. You have been warned.

JDubbed, sorry you had an issue. I am still using mine every day. When my phone gets down to about 30% I turn it on and get a full charge back out of it. Maybe I got lucky and snagged a good one, but it works like a charm. Have it on my phone right now.
