How is the Groupon Refurbished Tablet?

Since the Groupon deal tablet is beginning to ship, I am wondering how the tablet is going for everyone.
I bought one, but it hasn't shipped yet.
Also, does anyone know if we are able to get warranty from Squaretrade?

Mine is in great shape, physically. Looks brand new.
I do have some issues/questions about screen quality, but I don't know if that has anything to do with it being a refurb. There's a very noticeable dot effect with text and at the edges of images. Like you can see the pixels or something. Almost as though I'm looking at the tablet through a screen door. I don't know if this is expected and people just don't notice or don't care, or if this is a defect.

I just received one in the mail. Looks brand new only thing I know is that it had been on for 32 days

Just got mine a couple of hours ago. Looks brand new. I was nervous because it was the first thing I have ever purchased from Groupon. So far it is great. Came in a sealed Samsung Galaxy box. As far my screen goes I think it looks great and I went to best buy to compare and they look exactly the same and run the same. Make sure you register it you get all kinds of stuff free like 50 bucks to the Samsung hub store ands 25 bucks for Google plays store among other things.

In bright light with the screen off and turned at an angle I can see the pattern that your describing but that is the Wacom digitizer but I don't see it any other time.

On any Android device go to settings\about device\status and you'll see up time.

The tablet so far has been great. No issues or defects that I've been able to detect. I was also able to get all of the Samsung Promo Freebies. I haven't really looked into a Squaretrade warranty. Odds are that its going to fail in the first 3 months if its going to fail.

One of you will probably receive one of my 4 tablets I had to return to amazon! Going on topic though, I don't think you should be seeing any pixels at the edges of letters.

Thanks! Don't worry about that actually. I never really turn my tablet off, it just goes into sleep mode.
On mine it says it has been up for 30 days.

That looks like a dead pixel and you should not have that. I would return it and ask for replacement if I were you.
You can download some screen test apps from market to test different colors to see if your screen got some problems.

To Do a Full test on your Note whether Refurbished or new you can do the following simple test to check all aspects of your device
Just DIAL on your dial pad *#0*# , and do all required tests.

Not sure if this is a joke, but pretty sure the Note 2014 doesn't have a dial pad...

No, they're not dead pixels. It's the entire screen. Just something weird with the pixel arrangement. I checked out a Best Buy display model and it had the same thing.
It's most noticeable around text and edges of images, but even on plain white screen (like a white background in the browser or an app), you can kind of see it.

That`s not a joke , 2 of the 3 Note 2014 variants have dial pads, the P605 & P601, which is the one i own.
Only the P600 being the wifi version which seems to be yours doesn`t have.

Is it going to be visible when you capture screen and zoom? I didnt notice anything on my P605. I tested it with this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yota.screentest
And didn't see any discoloration, washouts, light bleeds and weird pixel arrangements on every test.
Did you try it?

I have the same issue and have captured it in this picture:
(Ensure you are zoomed to 100%.)
You can see that the aliasing around the black text looks great, but the green install button just looks weird and pixellated. It's not terrible, and it only happens for certain graphics/text, but it's still kind of annoying. The RGBW stripe may be the culprit here; despite having a lower pixel density the true RGB stripe of my girlfriend's iPad Air really does look superior.
To answer OP, my tablet is physically like new. I had pretty bad lag even after installing the software update and restoring to factory settings, mostly evident in pulling down the notification shade and scrolling in apps. I rooted and put CleanRom 2.0 R2 on and it's seriously night and day. So freaking fast now. Overall I'm extremely happy for the price I paid.

Mine looks like new and performs great. Took forever though my shipment was delayed 3 days by a 3" snow. I watched the tracking say out for delivery 3 days in a row, only to see a weather exception later in the afternoon. Finally on the fourth day they delivered it. Great deal but I'm shocked at the price of movies at the Hub store that $50 is gonna go quick. Sent using my new Note.

What have you captured? Looked at in person mine's fine and no different than my N3 (second pic). The moiré created by the camera and light reflecting off the N10.1-14's active digitizer's matrix makes the pic look like crap but I see nothing funky at all on the display directly.

That green box is an excellent representation of the issue. It's almost like it's got a dotted border all the way around it.
But honestly, I think on that whole screen, the pixels (if that's what the issue is... I get the whole ppi, not being able to see individual pixels at a certain distance bit) kind of pop out at you. Not sure if it's because it's a still image and is relatively close to the screen or what. But definitely mostly noticeable around that button and the line green line below it.

Display warping when scrolling fast?

Anyone else notice if you scroll up and down on any screen, it causes the top and bottom of the screen to warp and get bigger and smaller?
I really notice it when scrolling through cells, try scrolling up and down without lifting your finger really fast on any screen with cells and you'll notice the warping.
Idk if this is a feature or a bug or I'm having a vivid LSD flashback...but I didn't see this happening on the new moto x or the HTC one m8 so I was jw!

I've showed this to a couple different people now and they can see it too. It's kind of disorienting, anyone know a way to turn this off?

I haven't bought my own Droid Turbo but I also noticed this while playing with the phone at Verizon today.
Have you performed the software update?

I'm thinking it might be how the screen refreshes. I'm noticing this as well

can someone post a video ??

Can't reproduce this, please record it

I notice this issue too. Looks like the screen stretches and collaoses at different areas as you scroll vertically. If there is no fix for it i might return my phone makes me almost motion sick

Try setting animation to "off" in all 3 places in Developer tab, I think it helps with image warp.

Turned off all animations and the effect is less obvious but still visible. Bummer.

Turn the phone in landscape
In landscape the phone is unusable because of this issue. I can't believe that they let these out in the wild like this.

Yeah, it's really starting to bother me too. I'm a little OCD though.
So I'm guessing the Nexus 6 will also have this issue as well being they are using the same screen technology (supposedly). Kinda sucks.

So have we figured out if this is an issue with all models or just some models?
I wonder if it's a hardware or software issue. Does it happen in all apps or just some?

Seems like a hardware issue. Possibly the way the screen refreshes.
I really hope I'm wrong though. It's the only thing making me want to return it.
*Edit* I'm wondering if it may happen because the dpi is so high. Maybe with root we could play around with some display settings to see.

So I guess a lot of people just aren't noticing it? Because when I Google around this thread is the only discussion I find.
(I don't own the phone...I was planning on buying it but observed this issue with the display model and decided to wait).
EDIT: You can see the issue briefly here, as he scrolls around in Chrome:
http://youtu.be/DI3TpYFvbg0?t=5m41s
I was hoping it was just a Chrome rendering issue but it seems that's not the case.

That's what I'm thinking as well. It only happens if you scroll at the right speed, not too fast not too slow. I think a lot of people just don't notice it or don't really think about it or care when it happens

I still can't see it, on mine or in the youtube vid.

I noticed this on mine but I figured it was an animation built in to Android when scrolling (like the word bunch/bounce when hitting the end of a page) but that I just hadn't really noticed it before on other phones because the animation wasn't as smooth, screen wasn't as sharp and screen wasn't as big. I don't notice any weird trailing or stretching when watching videos or playing games so not sure that it would be an issue with the display.

That's the main reason I started this thread haha. I googled around and couldn't find any evidence of this being a new animation. They could definitely play it off as a bouncy animation if that wasn't what they were going for. Looks like it might be a bug though...

Yeah, I don't see the warping in the video or on either of the 2 Turbos in my house. The only thing I can see in the video is the weird lines going diagonally across the screen which is pretty much unavoidable when trying to record video of a screen. The only thing I see on my own phones is that it gets a bit blurry if you scroll too fast.

I'm really hoping it's a software fix. After using the phone a couple of days I'm getting killer battery life. I called Motorola and they told me to call back and speak to tear 2 tech support. Maybe they will confirm a software fix can set things straight. I'll let you guys know if I find out anything helpful.

White vertical line on screen Moto X style

Hello,
I have a Moto X Style.
Just a few hours ago started seeing a white very thin vertical line in the middle of the screen that goes from top to the bottom.
Didn't do anything special with the phone, scrolling facebook... just turned off the screen, and then turned it on and voila... it's there
The line is most noticeable in bright blue screen. Tried to take a picture of it, but doesn't have good camera so it isn't noticeable in pictures. Also it doesn't shows on screenshots and it appears even in recovery so it's definitely hardware...
The phone is only 3 months old... But I have unlocked the bootloader and rooted so I think the warranty is void...
Does anyone have/had some expirience with this and can help me?
Or the only way is to pay for a repair?
Thanks in advance...

If no physical damage moto will repair unlocked phones that have hardware failure. Best to get a ticket started and get some help over in their forums. Advanced swap is best even if it costs a couple bucks.

Anyway, yesterday happened another strange thing. I was taking pictures with the camera, then noticed that all the screen covered with white horizontal lines half transparent as if it is some sort of interference.. Restarted the phone and the lines disappeared, but also the vertical line got much thinner. You need to search for it really hard to find it. So maybe it was stuck pixels or something? I don't know
So it leads me to confusion. Either i leave it as it is as the problem is barely there, but then I'm afraid it will come back later, or i talk to Motorola, but then how am i gonna prove them if they won't find the line?
Thanks

I would discuss it with them regardless. If you still see the problem then they should be able to as well. Be persistent and very detailed about the problem. If you can get photos magnified showing the issue more clearly, even better as it clarifies the exact problem.

OP already stated it doesn't come up in screenshots. It's clearly a hardware issue...

I have this issue I believe. Except that it's when I dim the screen the previous images on the screen will not refresh.
See video I shot of it, at 1min 30sec I can start to see the ghosting. The white lines come and go too, usually when the screen is off and I wave at it to get the circles to appear so I can pause/play music. The more black on a screen the more likely it is to get lines down it.

Any luck in fixing this? My phone has the same issue and I keep reading things that say its a driver problem. Really seems to be hardware to me though, given that the same issue shows up in recovery mode...

Hi, same issue here. Had it for ages now, tried to return mine but Moto refused repair as my bootloader is unlocked. Have this issue in each and every ROM I try, stock or custom. Definitely seems like hardware.
If I keep the screen brightness up above 50% it's fine but anything below about 50% and it's unusable.

Same issue since some days

uneven screen backlight...anyone?

Hi guys,
Anyone else notice any uneven screen backlighting? I read forums on the v20, and when reading back text on white background - while scrolling down to read more text I notice dark shades on the screen. I downloaded screen test and lo and behold...dark patch on my screen! I then sent it back to LG and assured me that they replaced the screen module and tested it and all 'voltage' was normal - BUT, dark shades were still present albeit in a different spot!
Can someone here please confirm if this is a normal thing for LG screen as I realise it is LCD backlit and not OLED hence a few bleeding / inconsistency of backlight would be present. Even though I have never experienced this on ANY of my HTC's which were all LCD screens.
cheers guys! sorry for the long post!

Yes, i have it too! H910 variant. Two dark/dim spots that run horizontal from edge to edge. Can be more noticeable/annoying in landscape view than portrait actually.
Exchanged one brand new H910 for another. Same problem. Both manufactured 12/16. Havent had this on any other LG Ive owned (RS988 G5, D850 G3, P930 Nitro HD) or Moto for that matter. Pretty bummed to have this in an $830 USD device.
Edit...seems like the issue can be excaberated by different viewing angles. Also, totally anecdotal, but i looked at my display at a stoplight (wearing polarized shades) and i noticed the screen looked unaffected by the shades compared to other LCDs (cars TFT nav screen, an eIPS tablet, etc) that i have in the car. Wonder if what we are seeing is some type of side effect from a polarizing filter, or maybe lack of, used with this display/panel?
Or, maybe these things are edge-lit and LG used an uneven arrangement of emitters. Not really sure.

Good call...I do think it may be the backlight being edge lit! which could only mean (maybe) the backlight has failed at some spots or LG engineers mis-formulated where to put the lighting. it is very sad to hear that this may not be an isolated problem.
I did however sent it back for repair and the technician advice of a NEW LCD module/screen fitted. was sent back to me the same day!! WOW! BUT...same problem but it a different spot.
If this keeps going I may have to consider a new device altogether!
Then im starting to hear crackling on both earpiece and speakers....but thats a different thread!
arrgg...

I began to notice this on my v20 that I bought at the end of December, at first I thought it was just viewing angle or I messed up the screen. However my mom just got a v20 and hers' has the exact same problem in nearly the same spot. I should add that my phone is an LS997 that is completely stock. Also @D0NZ which screen test application did you use to see the problem better?

I used an app called full screen test...its free and simple. I then took a photo of it with my old htc m8 then sent it to lg for review.

The V10s have this as well. Something to do with the backlight and 2nd screen. Kind of got used to it on my V10. Was hoping that would have been addressed with the build of the V20.

I think so. On the V10 it was really noticeable when the main screen went into immersive mode and the 2nd screen went off.

this to me is a deal breaker! I read a lot on my phone, tis why I got a large screen! If this is the 'norm' for a flagship...
I pretty much think its unacceptable. They produce their own screens and cant get a flagship right? hmm...which phone to replace it with now that is available locally (for me that is down under)

So here are some pics I sent LG originally!

Looking at your grey screen, those bands/dim areas are in the exact same locations on my device (and my prior V20)! It must be inherent to this panel. You said the bands/dim locations changed after LG swapped screens/devices for you though?
Either way, it is a bummer. I'm still undecided if I should return mine as well, or just live with it. Almost every recent device has some quirk to live with it seems. I recently traded a Samsung Galaxy S7 that had a beautiful AMOLED display, but the device picked up scratches (on the display *and* body) like I've never seen before. I even took a look over at the dark side (Apple), and they seem to be catching flak for overheating and camera problems in some iPhone 7 devices. Sigh.

I have it on one corner pretty bad, is this because of the IPS screen and how the frame of the phone is pressing on it?

I think its to do with backlight distribution tbh. Ive had a number of HTC's and NONE of them had backlight distribution issues. Im now wondering IF a 3rd party screen module would be better than the original LG produced? OR...if this is an isolated issue only on some devices. My device was manufactured Nov 2016. Maybe a later produced model has better screens? Anyone with a newer produced V20 care to share?

I think its the placement of the 2nd screen backlight. Ill try to find the thread. Someone with a V10 explained it last year.
Sent from my LG-H918 using Tapatalk

Here is the post I remember from the V10 forums that seem to make the most sense regarding backlight being uneven.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64236798&postcount=45

Both my replacement V20 and original V20 have uneven screen backlighting (at least the replacement has a better back cover mechanism). There is a dark spot in the middle of the status bar on white (or lighter) screens. What is weirder is that it is the exact same pattern and location as the first one. It is present in both stock and LOS. I suppose I'll just wait around a year and warranty it out then because I just want to start using the phone. I included an image for people that were curious how it looked.

^
I think I can live with that...as in...the dim sections are on the edge of the screen. Mine was in the middle of the screen which i cannot stand!
I have sent the replaced screen NOT to LG but to the place where I bought it.
They said that the repairer that LG told me to send it to was the last on their system as 'reliable'. The store said that they will deal with the repairer and LG. I kind of hope the worst happens and they just offer me a refund or a total replacement - but I doubt that would happen!

UPDATE: so i sent it back to jb hifi, on the report, they can replicate the issue. On the repairers report - they couldnt
SO i get it back with all the 'test' that they have done on it being to manufacturer's specs.
Which i think now...was never good to begin with
Too bad i cant unsee what i can see...sux...I wonder if AMOLEDs have these issues? Anyone care to elaborate?

I have this issue with my LG V20 -- only when viewing photos
I have this issue with my LG V20 -- only when viewing photos - see photos -- screen has two long bright lines.
See attached photos - lines are not on the photos themselves --it is just in the backlighting -- and the lines are not there when viewing websites or if testing the screen with an test app. Please cut ans paste links to see photos - remove blank area after http -- I can't post links till I have 10 posts on this site - if any kind poster could repost so others can see them that would be great!

...and these lines stay the same even when you enlarge the photo...

I have the same issue below secondary screen. Only noticeable on white background. Doesn't ruin reading books, it's there, but minor. I have dual sim variant. I'd be very upset if I paid launching price. All those things you only find out when you get the device.

Truth About Oneplus 8 Pro Display!

I am not Going to waste your time!
Read it Carefully: Truth is Oneplus 8 Pro Display issue is pretty solid. And there is literally nothing they can do to fix that issue via software as that is the Hardware problem.
For details see this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dfF6JehZ0s
I have also attached two screenshot of that video at the attachment section.
1. First Screenshot is from The Early Unit
2. Second Screenshot is from The Replacement Unit
NB: Oneplus is trying to hide the display issue via software update by reducing the capability of dimming the brightness at low level I mean you can't lower the brightness like other phones or like the previouds unit of OP8 Pro where you could previously see those issue clearly. See that video by SuperSaf for better understanding. That's why people who got the device recently are not complaining about that but yet you can see those issue with replacement unit. And after zooming the video and photo you can clearly see a horizontal wide line through punch hole Camera. It is hardware issue literally as they could not master the Laser cut tech like Samsung. So, spend your money wisely!

So, now what

Pretty sure it's a Samsung display. Mine is flawless. Have had it since launch day. Maybe I got lucky?

What display issue? This is the best screen on a smartphone I've had.

Yeh, so far my screen is brilliant looking!

I hope most people with an effected screen makes a fuss to OnePlus so it hurts them in their pockets. I hate when the consumer takes the hit when OnePlus should be addressing the problem and being honest. I am lucky I feel in my unit but if OnePlus doesn't act transparent, this will be my first and last product I purchased.

My first unit had this problem too. I really loved the phone but couldn't stand the tint so I got a replacement unit. My replacement unit at first had the same problem on greys, but I wasn't interested in shipping it back because I had to import my phone to Australia (no official Oneplus store). So I decided to get rid of the grey in the system ui by using a pitch black substratum theme, and I never saw the problem again, even on grey. I even went looking for it the other day and still couldn't see anything worse than what I see on my galaxy tab s6 also with an amoled display. Either recent updates fixed the issue, or I just got charmed by the otherwise gorgeous display. I am not too salty about it at all personally.

My screen is great, no issues.

No issues on mine.
In fact not had any of the issues ever mentioned about the 1+8pro

Apologies to the OP, but I have to join the chorus here. I got my 8 Pro on the second, "pre-launch", and one of the first things I did upon receiving it was inspect the screen for the noted problems. Couldn't find one flaw and the display itself is simply beautiful. Best Android on the market, at the moment, imo.

I have to agree with the ones with a seemingly perfect display.
Got mine on launch and it's the best android phone I've ever owned.

I had mine pre-ordered and been using since day one. Not a single problem with the screen. In fact it's the best one I have ever had on a phone. Looks amazing. No issues here.

Got mine at launch. Tried all the tests I read here and had no problems. Beautiful display. The people that have problems are always the loudest. That doesn't mean it's everyone or even particularly widespread

Anyone having the black crush issue? I can see it when watching movies. Dark areas tend to go all black losing the detail. I can see more detail on my 3yr old samsung s8. Plus front cam looks softer than my s8 too. Any thoughts?

Yes and the crush is worse on the latest update 10.5.9.

Do you think it's a software issue? I surely envy those guys who got a perfect panel.

I think it's HW. I don't think there is a perfect panel either, I think people just aren't looking for it or testing for it.

Exactly this. People saying that their panel is perfect is because they don't use dark themes with grey backgrounds

Why is it hard to believe people actually have a great screen?
I have had my 8pro since release day and haven't noticed any issues, I use dark mode on everything, I have wallpapers of all colours including greys, now, if you tell me I haven't look hard enough, then that's your problem. I absolutely love my phone and the screen. Best I've ever owned.
The phone is not without faults, but comments like yours assume that everyone has experienced the same things as you... Could it be the light receptors in your eyes are faulty? Cos my 20/20 vision has yet to see any green tint, and crushed blacks on my handset.

How can OP release FW updates that affect every phone to try and fix the display, but your phone is fine? They even admitted it to Android Police. There's literally commits in the source altering the gamma levels!
