Has anyone seen anything like this? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

It is really weird.
After a night with my friends at a bar, I remarked the second day that this had happened to my phone. I DO have a case, it did NOT fall and there's no screen protector on. Seems like it's an bubble under the screen! Also, there's no crack on the phone which is really weird.
PS: Being dark outside, I can'T even tell when this happened during the night.

that is strange, did you leave in the sun by any chance before hand? looks like a defected problem on the external surface of the phone are you still under warranty?

Device defect, take it back.

Yeah still under warranty and I didn't leave it under the sun except one time in July! It was in my car and it said phone cannot charge too hot or something like that! But this was a long time ago and I don't think it could be related!

Ah I know exactly what happened.. It's got a skin disease.

I just received this from them today. Don't know what it should mean. Covered by the waranty or not? They're not too clear about it. Anyone?

I would think it would be covered by the warranty, but what does it say about cosmetic stuff? I would make sure to tell them something else is wrong with it that's covered by warranty so you get a new one.

did you hear anything back about this?
I have the same problem and I took it to an AT&T store and the guy there said he had seen it multiple times. He also couldnt give me a new phone then and there.
What did you do to get it fixed/replaced?
I am still under warranty.

To be honest, I didn't try anything yet. Everything involved sending the phone and waiting which I didn't have time to do. Also, they didn't specify nothing about the cost. Everything was going to be determined there. So I'm just going to wait till my finals are over and I'll go directly to the service center and see there. My cell phone company couldn't exchange it for me neither.
PS can you post a pic of your screen? How did it happen in your case?

Cingular 8525 DEAD- 1/29/07 to 2/20/07

If you are getting the WSOD...take care of it before your HTC device goes to the ever after.

I don't know. It has happened about 3 times since I got it. Then yesterday it did it like twice. Then today it did it once earlier and the second time it just did'n't come back.
It hasn't been dropped or dunked. I even had someone take pictures and send it to my phone but I can't get to the photo. I had just done a hard reset and it was booting up and the screen was white with streaks of colour. Then when I used the stylus it went all white and stayed white.
I've taken the battery out, put it back in, taken it out put it back in....
Clearly there is an issue with the LCD. I'm not happy cuz I didn't want one of their refubared warranty exchanges.
sorry to hear it dude
my 8525s dead too, from early january til about 2 weeks ago
LCD problem too, but mines a little more serious and it wont b covered by warranty via Cingular =(

Nope, mine ain't broke. IT is for sure a major issue with the lcd. What's funny is when it does come up about 3mm of the graphics from the bottom show @ the top.
Watching the not so slow demise was pretty fun. Being without a phone for a day is not. I gotta dig up my 8125.
Hey I just noticed you have a camera hole on yours. How'd you swin that. PM me with the jdetails....Ms. X

[Q] can i get this part alone: area with rear camera

Hi XDA'ers
I recently bought a used mt4g, super cheap price.. but i got that i paid for ...
Saddly the previous owner really didn't take care of it, he didnt keep it in a case, so its pretty scratched and dinged up... but i can like with those, BUT the worst part is that the covering for the back camera is scratched up badly....
it seriously affects my camera quality.. very blurry and grainy
I partly blame htc for a design flaw/oversight .. why would they have that as the most protruding part of the back of the phone..it should have been recessed..anyway
this is the part i want

I guess that I will probably have to get a whole new housing, as I haven't seen this part alone online anywhere.
If any one has a bricked phone or old housing not in use and the camera area is good PLEASE let me know if i can get it...
thanks in advance
that is actually part of the center frame piece. you should be able to find it new on ebay or amazon.

i have already check both of the recommended sites... no luck so far...
when u say 'its a part of the center frame' does that mean it can not be separated from the housing or it can be ?
two weeks later and i am still unable to source this part..

As long as it doesn't affect the performance of the phone it nothing to worry about. Besides it doesn't seem like it's neither major nor a minor issue.
It's just from the mold

i deffinetly have that same line , i never noticed it intill looking closer , its not really visible intill you're in/under a really bright area/light.
btw purchased my nexus in February (arrived around the 22nd of Feb)
This has been discussed many many many times. Its a manufacturing mark some have it some don't. I have it and mine came in November.

Might be able to get away with a warranty claim as it's all damaged underneath, just say you didn't drop it or anything

Who gets warranties on smart phones these days? I paid the $8/mo to Sprint for their warranty plan for two years for basically nothing. Unless you're a clutz (which we all can be at times, sh*t does happen), most people I would like to think that hang around XDA take care of their phones like they are newborn babies (that is, we'll hold them ever so gently but will throw them in a fighter jet traveling 1000000mph).
In any event OP, I would guess the problem is with your digitizer, since that is what makes the magic happen and produce our images. You could try taking your phone apart to see if by some miracle the ribbon was knocked loose. Otherwise, might need a new digitizer.

Nexus10 Screen replacement

Hi Chaps
I'm from the U.K and my little 3 year old just dropped our nexus 10 and cracked its screen.
Google and Samsung are driving me mad, each claiming that its the other's responsibility to fix the screen.
I have decided to replace the screen myself.
Q1) Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement screen within the U.K at a sensible price?
Q2) Does anyone have a damaged nexus 10 (not screen damage) that they are willing to give away or sell?
Regards
Nas

Mine looks exactly the same as the one above. I've hunted high & low, online, to get this fixed. I've waited for the imaginary nexus 10 2 to come out, hoping that a digitizer would soon be available after that. Short of buying a new one, I have no idea how I'm going to get this sorted
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :good:

Hi, I'm from the Philippines, is it possible to have my Nexus' screen replaced by you? N10 is not commercially available in the Philippines so I couldn't get it serviced here by Samsung. Please do let me know if it's possible and how. Would really appreciate your response. Thank you so much.
