Lucky Break Exchanging Broken EVO Shift - EVO Shift 4G General

LCD went black on my Shift. The folks at Sprint (Nashua, New Hampshire) checked everywhere but couldn't find the replacement parts. So they searched through the store and found the last new Shift in the place. New phone and still Gingerbread.
BTW, the LCD croaking happened about 5 seconds after my wife's Shift had all her data wiped. Can you say "Solar Storm"?

You sir are one very lucky person. Glad you got lucky, nice to hear about things going the right way once in a while. Sucks about the Solar Storm .

Faded Spot On Screen?

So I've noticed recently that my screen on my CPO X has gotten a faded spot about an inch from the bottom of the screen. It hasn't reduced functionality or anything, it just... urks me, lol. Anyone else have this, and do you think Verizon might help me out? It makes the device significantly less attractive.
D: Also, only visible when the screen is on on a white page, but still.
Haven't over heated the phone once nor dropped it, running SetCPU at 1000 max 600 min.
Running on rooted stock, also.

had this on my original and refurbished droid x, quite strange
Think I could get a new one if I ***** about problems with responsive problems? XD
I have this same problem in the same spot. Its really annoying lol

Sorry, typo. Anywho, yeah, very annoying. It's only my second Android device, too- I came from the HTC Eris. Probably no way I can fix it, either.

You might as well talk to Verizon about it. There's nothing you could lose from that

The screen works as it should, theres just a bright spot on white or light colored backgrounds.
I just traded my Incredible for the X. I really like this phone but this spot is driving me crazy! I wish I could fix it somehow.

I may have just found your post on DroidForums about the same issue.
Did you ever contact Motorola, by chance?

Same exact problem here. I talked to my guy at verizon and he saidd it for sure falls under a warranty replacement for a refurb phone. But it doesn't bug me enough yet to make me do that. I'll wait until my one year is almost up then replace it.

Yes I did but I don't have the receipt, the guy I traded with said he will take care of it. Hopefully they'll replace it for me. Its not a huge deal but it gets on my nerves.

I have what appears to be a dead pixel at the top right of my screen. It's a CPO and I received it this way. It has bugged the **** outta me since I got it. It was a replacement phone because the first one wouldn't stop rebooting. I think I'll call and complain as well, but I don't want my third X to have some other problem lol.

Try Jscreenfix, its free on the market, let it run for like 30 minutes... It fixed a dead pixel on my Droid 1.
Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk
Will try, but I don't think its a dead pixel. It just looks like a half inch wide faded spot.

I was playing with my friends new DX today and his screen looks so much better than mine for some reason, my screen looks really washed out and it has the ugly spot. Maybe by the time I get it back Gingerbread will be out
Are you gonna send yours in?

Phone for sale.

I have a epic 4g and don't need it or use it because I don't have sprint. Clean ESN and phone it in great condition. I am thinking about putting it on creigslist or ebay. Any tips?

Asurion replacememts

What phone(s) does Asurion give out as a replacement for the Incredible? I thought I read that they ran out of Dincs.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Anybody?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
DInc2. A quick search would have provided the answer much faster.
Not a fact.....they the inctedibles in stock. Best way to tell is to file a claim and see what they offer. Mine was. Dinc 2 for 5 days now its an original. Bottom line if they have a incredible that's what you'll get. Changes day to day. Good luck.

What the guy above said. Most are getting The Dinc2 but sometimes you'll get lucky and get the Dinc1 since they seem to be in and out of stock.
Yeah my gf got a Dinc1 not too long ago from them... It could also be a regional thing too. I'm sure she'll be more than happy to trade someone for a Dinc2 though

Anyone want a epic w/o a working screen?

Alright well I had these opening on the side of my epic form dropping it so much and one day I had it in the bathroom while the shower was running and I think the steam killed the screen. it slowly "Faded to black" literally it took like two days lol. It's been two weeks and Im finally calling it quits and getting a new one. Im considering sending it out if anyone wants to play with it, if you fix it I may be able to buy it from you at a reasonable price. But my main question is, does anyone want it?
stop!
Just wannna make sure you know how assurion works:
1. report a phone as broken
-required to send in device
-100 dollar deductible
2. report devices as lost
-phone blacklisted from all further sprint services, bad esn
-100 dollar deductible
3. report device as stolen
-require police report
-100 dollar deductible
-black listed esn.
I have a screen laying around. I'll totally grab it from you and fix it. PM me if your serious buddy.

I have one of these too. But I don't have insurance since the phone isn't worth the deductible. Just bought another. And it was cool watching it fade.

Eh I think I toasted it now, don't dip your phone in 91% rubbing alcohol? Lol I figured I'd try it since I was getting a new phone anyways. Now theres a blotch of rainbow in the middle lmao. Thanks for the offer though.
I replaced basically my whole phone for 48 bux.

And, new screens can be had for $37.50.

On another note, I would love to take the phone, i'll even pay shipping!

I love this little beauty! Really though, everything it different about it IMO. From the way it feels in your hand, to all the differences with ICS. It actually took a couple days of modifying things before I was actually happy with it. After the first day, I was pretty certain I would return it and wait for the S III. But the community here is quick to fix most problems, so I rooted and unlocked it and haven't looked back since! If you're up for an upgrade, I would definitely took into getting one.
