Ok, so i picked up the Nexus S early today, and well I'm in LOVE with the dam phone. BUT i've been through 2 Nexus S's already: 1 because of a dead pixel right dead center of the screen, and the other because of real bad touch screen issues. The touch screen works, but it would become unresponsive frequently and randomly. It works fine then randomly stops responding to input. Took it back and got another 1; same touchscreen issues however not half as bad as the second nexus but still there. I didn't bother replacing for another as the store was about to close and didn't wanna bother but I will go back on sunday if the issues don't go away. Pressing the hardware keys seems to always fix the stalling issue so maybe it's software? idk but it's VERY annoying -_- Has anyone on here experienced these unfortunate issues?? Sound off below!
How did you even get a replacement one? I stood in line, was the fourth person at my best buy and almost didn't get one. I was the last person. They had a total of 4 phones. Every BB in my area for that matter (orange county, ca). I have a ring shaped "watermark" in my screen and I need to get it replaced. Other than that I love this thing. The plastic is not as scratch prone as the vibrant by the way. Also, crazy that this phone was literally manufactured one week ago and got shipped to best buy. That's a crazy turn over time. No wonder they only had 4 at launch.
My screen seems to sometimes not respond very well either, but it doesnt bother me enoigh to exchange.

You can still get replacements. Just go back. Best Buy does 30 day returns/exchanges. It's free if it's defective.

Or if you got the Black Tie protection you can go in after 30 days, plus it covers accidental handling damage. SOLD.
Is the unresponsiveness caused by lag, like, if you press an icon, does it launch moments later? Because this is a problem that plagues the Vibrant. Gingerbread not living up to what it says it is?
Not sure which would be worse... an issue with Gingerbread lag or with the touch screen not registering.

BB's that don't normally carry and sell Tmobile are limited to 4 phones (my understanding) BB's like the one I went to in my area which sell tmobile had about 80 in stock which they didn't even sell thru half my guess. I was real cool with the staff they just exchanged no problem

NO this isn't lag in gingerbread lol.. This phone FLIESSSS out of the box. its the touchscreen. It becomes unresponsive when i tap anything or swipe. I barely have that issue in this phone than on the last one, but when it happens it's extremely annoying.
same issue here. i can't even unlock the screen now.
My NS is easily the most responsive Android phone I've ever used. Sucks you guys got duds. Luckily if something happens, apparently no one bought them here...
This is also sometimes happen on my HTC Desire. If it does not happen so often, then I think it is OK.
I also found that our finger might contribute with this problem. Too dry or too cold, for example. When that happen, I rub my finger and it works.

well, being as this never happened to me on either of the 2 vibrants and nexus one I owned prior to this phone, it tends to really bug the hell out of me.
Extremely responsive here. As responsive as my Vibrant & G2, if not better.
My fingers are perpetually cold, and I'm fine. Lemme walk outside, its below zero here. Update in a minute.

Screen actually feels more responsive, but that might be attributable to the fact that I cant actually feel my fingers.

I will do that. Early Incredibles and Evos had screen issues where they didnt respond without being "grounded." Quotes because a software update fixed it.
I'm on a couch right now if it matters.

Yeah I'm huddling in a corner against the brutal MN cold...o wait....no Im watchin King of the Hill in my hot as hell (damn GF) house. My NS works just fine grounded or not. Responsive as hell.
the issue seems to happen very very little now. I might just keep it. If by sunday it doesn't continue i won't bother takin it back. But man, the last phone I had was unbearable. Literally happened every minute
I got my Galaxy S II this morning, and it's awesome, but I'm starting to get this problem which completely destroys the experience...
After using it for a while, the screen starts getting horizontal streaks (but no vertical streaks) that match the brightest colour in that row. For example, I have a facebook con on my homescreen and the entire vertical row gets more and more blue. This is the same for everything, and it's particularly bad with black text on a white background, where the whole line has a grey background...
Any one else with this problem or anyone with some advice? I'm starting to think I'll have to take it back.

Exchange/ send it back right away.
If you bought it instore then check the new one there. If you bought it online.. =/ it might take some time to get a perfect one.
Damn, gonna take it back tommorow I think.
Are you in the US? What retailers in the US will take these back for exchanges?
No, I live in the UK and bought it in Phones4U
great so how the heck are we supposed to order from UK over here in the USA if we may potentially have to return multiple times just to get a good screen? sadness

Looks like I wont be returning it today... left it charging overnight with the phone off and started using it again this morning, been using it for about an hour now and no screen issues at all, before it would start appearing after about 10 minutes. :/ I've got 30 days to return it so i'll wait... just hope I dont get any long term screen problems, although this will hopefully come under the two year warranty...

Get a white screen up and wait till it dims down and check again. You should be able to still see those lines.

That's what I've been thinking! It did it one more time today, but only after the screen being on playing a 720p video for a couple of hours, and it hasn't done it since.

Done that, but there isn't any. It definetely isn't burn-in, the colour of the lines change depending on the brightest colour that is in that line, pretty hard to explain so I wish I could take pictures, but the only camera I have is the one on the phone, lol.
These issue topics are making me nervous since I just ordered mine and it won't have a warranty ;\

for every 100 owners of SGS2 there is only one who is an active poster here. And out of every 100 active posters , only like 1 would have issues. So do not worry and hope for luck!
I just took delivery of my SGS2 yesterday, and I gotta say I absolutely love this phone. Coming from an LG eXpo with WinMo 6.5 and never having used Android, it doesn't even feel like a phone. Plus with all the easy integration with my Google accounts, I've never had a smoother transition to a new device before. All this makes it all the more difficult for me to have to send it back...
I'm not sure if anyone else has encountered this problem, but it looks like my phone came pre-packaged with burn in or something in the form of a dark circle near the upper right side of my screen. I've attached some photos of what it looks like.
I noticed this abnormality in the first 10 minutes or so of using the phone while looking at some photos on my Picasa account. I almost feel like this phone could have been a refurb unit, or the screen was reused or something. In fact, there appears to be more substantial burn in than I can photograph, as there are several other places where I can see strange distortions. Most, if not all, only show up when the brightness is less than 100%. I'd thought maybe it was some widget that caused the burn in, but I haven't been able to figure out which one it could be.
Anywho, I've already arranged an RMA thru Expansys-USA, and they did so without even asking any questions after my email with photos of the problem. So far I've received amazing support from Expansys-USA and definitely recommend them. Also going to see if I can request a replacement sent before I send back this one so I won't be without a phone during the shipping time, something they mention is possible in the RMA email (though they do charge you for it, to be refunded once they get the defective unit back and inspect it).
Would be interesting to see if anyone else has this problem. If there's already another post on this subject, sorry about this new one... didn't see any when I searched tho.
I can see the same thing on mine if I put it on the lowest brightness setting and display a grey image. Nowhere near as pronounced as on yours though, have to really really look for it, so can't be arsed to do anything about it.
Interesting that it's a perfect circle though, could it be just above the CPU or something?
Nope, haven't got that circle on mine at all.
Maybe an assembly worker lost their wedding ring, lol...
You'll be fine, it's an RMA for sure!
Defo a faulty phone
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I believe that mark is from the vacuum suction cup on the assembly line from the automated machine that handles positioning the display component. It technically should disappear over time, but I don't know how long.
I don't think it's the CPU, though to be honest I'm not sure where it is under the screen. There is that odd gold-colored sensor or whatever under that area, I think.
If it's a wedding ring, maybe this phone's worth more than the sticker price! haha
Vacuum cup huh... that's pretty bad if it's damaging the screen while doing that. I don't want to wait and see if it will disappear. If I do wait and it doesn't go away I'll be out $725 on a phone with a screen that'll constantly bug me.
Kinda funny, as I was looking at the photos I attached, I saw two rings... one in the photo, and the real one. Startled me when I first saw it.
I didnt have the same problem as you but i had line banding or something on my one.. i had to replace it 4 times then noticed it overheated+smell coming from it.. so i just returned it and got my money back.
Just be aware that you might get another faulty phone.. If i was you i would wait till it comes out in the US.
That sucks, and it's not good that other people are having some issues as well. Good to hear that Expansys is honoring their agreements though
This is why I don't import anymore

Could well be spot on. I don't know if I'm imagining this, but I'm having more and more trouble seeing this ring on my display heh (had the phone for 9 days now).

Man, that's really unlucky! Knock on wood, I hope I don't get another bad one. However I'm not sure waiting will do me much good. History has shown me that branded devices tend to have a lot of crap on them and lack certain features at times, and I don't have as much time as I used to to keep up with the scene to make the phone operate better all the time. Also, I'm contract-free with unlimited data on AT&T, and I don't like being locked into contracts. This isn't my first non-US phone, though. I'm happy to pay the extra money so long as it means I don't have to sign a contract.

From the Expansys-USA thread, sounds like they'll ship the phone back to the UK to have it serviced for you if it ever goes bad. This doesn't sound uncommon, either, as I've had a friend here ship his JP Xbox 360 back to Japan to have it serviced (with a another friend's JP address), and another friend in Japan had his laptop sent back here to have it serviced. Also, there's always the chance a non-import one will be bad, too. Luck of the draw, I guess, and perhaps early-adopter woes. lol
Got my replacement on Saturday, been playing with it ever since to see if I could find any further problems. Definitely no circle this time around, and some of the vertical banding I saw on my old phone in the notification screen is gone, but now has some very slight horizontal banding. Not a deal-breaker tho, so this one's staying with me. Also, hard to tell but I think the yellow/dark left screen problem is present, but so slight I can barely detect it if it's there and not a trick of the eye.
Gotta thank Expansys-USA for their great customer service. I'll definitely order from them again.

I would have it exchanged for another if you can. I had mine exchanged, but since I went with the cheap option the whole ordeal took almost a month (slow shipping). My replacement doesn't have a defect, but it's possible I have the yellow tint problem others have been reporting. I don't see it tho, and if it's there it doesn't bother me.

Got my SGSII yesterday only to realize that there is a circle on the downleft of screen. It's very annoying. Went to Telenor today but they had no phones left. Only thing to do now is wait 4 weeks for a new one.
Any idé on what this is? Have you checked your own ones?

More people have this. I don't know if it went away with anyone? Some say it should go away and the production process causing it.
I see you also have the 1/3 yellowish/darker screen. I am wondering if there is someone who doesn't have this.
Sorry didn't want you to focuss on it, guess you didn't saw yet. but a lot have this(if not everybody).

Didn't do anything. Opened it, charged it and booted it. Tested it out and rolled down statusbar, noticed directly and all my happyness for my new phone dissappeared.
I guess its the kind of person who owns the phone..
I myself am almost a perfectionist.. well.. atleast when i buy new things.. why would i want a new product with some minor/ major problems on it?
hardware problems.. not software.. since software can be fixed.
I had the circle on mine, top right of the screen. Made a thread about it last week: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1078058
Noticed it shortly after taking delivery of the box when I was viewing some photos. It's not visible on pixels where full brightness is used (no matter if it's R, G, or B), but on anything between black and full white it's visible. Sent mine back yesterday for replacement, but I was told by an Expansys-USA rep that they won't have any in stock till the 30th.
Supposedly it's from the suction cup used on the assembly line and that it's technically supposed to go away over time. Expansys only gives a small window of time for returns, and my circle wasn't showing signs of disappearing. Might wanna have yours swapped out, too.
Thanks, was looking for someone else having this problem.
I live in Sweden and ordered from operator Telenor.
They only have a 7 day DOA, so I called them and because all phones were out both in physical store and on the web, they was going to send me a servicebox that I will pack everything and then send it. Hopefully I will get a new one in a few weeks. They say that it can take up to a month though.
Hey there,
I got the exact same thing, but on the right side of the display. I got this thing just yesterday, I live in Germany.
I really do not want to send it back, especially since it seems display problems are pretty common with this phone and there is no guarantee I'll get another one without it.
Anyone knows if this might go away? I have 4 weeks until I have to send it back.
No idea if it will go away, but if you've got 4 weeks, maybe you can see if it does fade over time? I had a really short period of time to report any problems with the phone to Expansys (48 hours), so I couldn't wait.
Man... 4 weeks..! That seems like such a luxurious amount of time to check for problems with the phone.
I can't see anything like this on my phone...
How can I see/make it:-??
Hey Guys,
I noticed something strange with my phone this morning and it has gotten progressively worse throughout the day. Has anyone encountered something like this? Originally this started off with a large set of vertical green pixels (as seen in the first picture). Then a further degrading of this with purple blotches as seen in the 2nd pic, and I'm pretty sure my display is dead now as I can swipe up and feel the haptic feedback but can't see anything on the screen.

The phone isn't bent in any way so I'm guessing that the connection inside the phone went bad. I know a repair guy who is pretty handy but I want to see if anyone knows what I am up against.

Hello definitely a hardware issue. At least I already seen this before and the screen was dead. My wife used to have an LG G2 and it displayed those weird purple smudges all over the screen after one of our daughter crushed it walking on the device.
Do you eventually sit on chairs with your phone in your back pocket?
Good luck...

I wouldn't buy a phone 2nd hand off Ebay. I hear to many bad things. Use Swappa in the future brotha!
That is most certainly a defective digitizer. I'm guessing a stress was placed to the digitizer at some point or heat/cold maybe?

Bought it for $400 in Jan 2016 when it was 3-4 months old since someone didn't know how to bypass the Google Factory reset lock. Most other 128GB were going for $650+ at the time. Ebay/ Swappa would have ended up in the same place regardless. I don't blame Ebay for this experience but I have not bought many phones from them regardless. At least 6+ purchases on Swappa and all have been great. Taking to my local repair guy who I trust very much who quoted me for $195 to do the work and replace the board which is worth it to me.

This ironically has been in a Supcase Unicorn Beetle case since day 1. I am guessing that the phone being on the larger side of my front right pocket definitely has pressure put on it which likely caused this.
