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

WSOD.
It happened a couple of times yesterday...screen went white. Then today it just went. Won't come back. No matter what I do. So I'm callin Cingy.
It's a sad day people.
If you are getting the WSOD...take care of it before your HTC device goes to the ever after.

what finally did it? you know what you did to make it start WSODin?

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

Hopefully you had insurance.

Yeah it sucks. I have insurance, but i'm guessing because the phone is so new, I made a claim but I have to fax them information and do all this extra stuff. I never had to do this when I made a claim with the TP2.

Ouch, I'm known to do that sometimes leave me phone on my lap and get up out the car. Luckily I normally have some full body protection and a screen guard on my phone.

Looks like it still works though.

yeah I have a screen protector coming, will get here today (a bit too late lol). I am looking for a case, im picky when it comes to those. Not much out right now other than a limited ebay picking and the one from verizon. Which I just now found out they make in a clear color, looks like I will have one for my replacement...

I have the body glove and zagg screen, and as sad as this is to say I have actually drooped mine twice and you can't even tell. It still looks fresh outta the box. Good luck with the replacement to from what I've heard VZW is still sold out.

sorry to say, but i dont think ur the first casualty.
also insurance ftw.

I bought the silicone cover from Verizon, I have not dropped my phone yet hopefully it protects the phone if I drop it.
Hopefully Otterbox will make one for this phone like the one for the iphone.

dropped my x10 and nothing happened. wouldn't wanna try it with my incredible now

Well i completed the claims and it already gave me a tracking number and guaranteed my replacement will be here on the 7th.

Hah! iPhone vs Android debate settled - forever!

I'm posting this here because I currently have an HTC Hero. I'm on the way back from Maui and sitting at the airport with a 4 hour layover when I find:

What happened to your call and end keys?

He didnt want his phone to be recognized so he blurred them out, lol.

His call and end buttons look like mine. The paint was probably comming off the buttons so he probably scraped it the rest of the way off.

This. Some of the early Hero's seem to have a problem with the phone keys. Mine and my brothers paint came off (day 1 Hero users) and my wife's (few months down the line) appears to be fine. A few other people I know that bought them a few month's later haven't had any issues either.

I got my Hero a few months down the line and the paint came off. I went to Sprint and had them replaced and they replaced my track ball.

[Q] Screen Cracks

I've got my shiny HD2 and i've fallen in love!
But after 4 days of owning i tripped today and my worst fear the screen crack!!! and its huge the screen is covered in 70% cracks. tho it still works but its hard to make out the keyboard in some areas
before all the posts about how to repair i used the search and am aware how to replace and purchase a replacement im looking at £32 on ebay and a few hours of time one weekend...
But now my question in my search for answers i've seen lots and i mean lots of info on this, is the screen the phones achilles heel. is there away to prevent this from happening. eg a good screen protector to help with the stress of dropping all falling!! would gel cases make a difference?
Basicly can i prevent this from happening in the future?
Regards
Wappy

cause you can prevent it, dont drop it!!lol, silcone case helps, ive dropped mine a few times and from height, just has to catch it at the wrong angle and it will go!

wondered how many posts it would be till some one said dont drop it lol
what i feared!.. is there a neck chain or a chain attachment available to i could attach it to my jeans so if it did drop it would only end up by my knee? but there is no hole attachment for it again meaning i have to hold it meaning my little fingers might drop it
Ahh MY old TYTNII I could throw it at people and it still worked lol, but im guessing bigger glass screen = more fragile!

Yeah, it sucks...this happened to my wifes phone like 3 months ago. It had a protector, but apparently a little rock on the floor hit the bottom part of the screen. $125 for a new phone.

the screen, for the size it quite tough, but it is glass!I had a LG BL40, dropped it after a week, chucked it in the bin and got this...apart from a couple of scratches, no cracks!!

well this is the damage to mine!
and with it still working
i've orded a gel case and a Vikuiti screen protector and hopefully that might help for the next screen

Vertical Green Line

Well a vertical green line showed up on my dt2 today. Done everything to try and fix it. Did a factory reset and no help. Phone has been babied and not dropped. Took it to Verizon store today and they are sending me a new one and for me to send this one back. Other than this its been a good phone. Battery life has been awesome. But some have been reporting bad battery life. Hope my next one has a good battery.

My first one did this within 9 days. 15 day exchange resulted in a brand new phone. So far *fingers crossed* so good.

Did you get yours from Motorola or Verizon? I was thinking of swapping my Turbo 2 due to a screen uniformity called banding, but I got mine via motomaker so I will have to get a different one from Motorola.

Got mine from Verizon.
I've seen where several people have this happen. So I'm concerned this will happen again. Wondering since the screen is all plastic, is it too soft?

I doubt that's the problem. It's probably just a production issue since it's probably in the first batch of phones. Mine hasn't displayed this yet and I got mine through Verizon using MotoMaker. I've pressed my screen fairly hard with no issues yet. I'd say don't worry about it, just unfortunate luck that it happened.

Got my replacement in today from Verizon. Not a new phone but a like new phone. So far seems pretty good. Hoping this one won't do the same thing

Strange. Mine's had a vertical magenta line in the same area that comes and goes, usually right after I turn the screen back on. Sounds like I should probably get a replacement...
