[INFO] Whew! Just got my TF and everything SEEMS ok....

I just unboxed my TF...gave it the "once over" looking for all the things mentioned in the various threads....sharp edges, dust in the camera lens, dust under the screen, dead pixels, lack of charging indication, won't charge...etc....
So far....none of those problems seem to have made it to my TF....what a relief!
The quality LOOKS (appears) to be very good...and the finishing seems just fine...
I did the initial set up and everything seemed to go ok there too...no weird lock ups....no dead screen areas....
I set up gmail to be accessed from the screen widget...it just seemed to be a better way than just leaving that "0 emails" thing there....
I'm psyched! and I DON'T want to wait 8 hours to be finished with the charge!! waaaa...
It came charged at 61%...

Congratulations!
I got my TF yesterday, it's very nice although I have a slighly quieter left speaker and I think I've experienced my first SOD.

Hey I just unboxed mine as well a few minutes ago, and really have no issues either. But does yours have an led charging indicator? I mean when its off. Not in the actual hc os. When i first plugged in the adapter it turned on by itself, ran through the setup, and said it was charging. Im real anal with my gizmos and want it to fully charge before using it, so I shut it down. No indicator though? Im sure this is for everyone but can't find consistent results? Is your indicator on? By the way, congrats on getting one!

I don't see one....just on the screen it has the percentage and in the lower right corner a little icon with a lightening bolt....

There is NO indicator FYI

Have fun with it.

Did you look for light bleeding? Turn the brightness all the way up and hop into the gallery app, should see some if you have any.

Where did you buy from?

I got lucky ordered it 3 days ago and got 2nd day air.....

Most of the issues are Honeycomb-related and can be fixed easily via updates. The hardware on this thing is quite solid. Enjoy your new toy.

Lol. My TF is ok too. Nice to know that not everyone has issues. I do have a little light bleed, but not a big deal.

I'm a new user of Tapatalk and couldn't purchase it from the market on the TF, so I went to the Market on my Evo 4G and purchased there. Then I went to the Market on my TF and it showed up as an available app for install. It works great on my TF with no FCs.

Oh sorry mr Paul, but if you read the op's post carefully they said no issues with....lack of charge indicator. So, I thought he/she may have had a light or something? I know there isn't an led indicator now. THANK YOU. The device should still be charging after a shut down. Simple feature, and its not on the tf? Not a big deal.

Damaged super amoled?

I had sixaxis app running and apparently when its running in the backround the screen wont turn off. I plugged my phone into the charger last night and when the phone was done charging the notification for done charging popped up and turned the screen on. because I had sixaxis open it didnt let the screen turn off and my screen was on all night. My question is have I damaged my screen by doing this? I fear of the infamous burn in now.

If you don't see an image burned in you're probably just fine

There is quite a bit of proof out there confirming that AMOLED will suffer burn-in. The most common cause seems to be a docking station where the user displayed an alarm clock all night or played music with the screen on for an 8+ hours a day.
So screen burn-in is a problem, but one night isn't going to significantly harm the phone,and typical users won't see any issue during the lifetime of the display.

Galaxy S7 Edge - Touchscreen overly sensitive ~ reacts without touching screen!

Hello folks,
February 29, 2016 I received my T-Mobile S7 Edge, and it was bliss, but I always though the touch was very odd. I couldn't put my finger on it. Then today while scrolling through the web, I noticed I kept touching things I didn't mean to. I though, it's just the edge screen and I need a case to help mitigate this. Put the phone down on my wooden table and continued to scroll and it kept happening.
After downloading a touchscreen tester app, I noticed that I can make the phone react without actually touching the screen. Like 0.5 mm to 1 mm away from the screen. It's especially noticeable when I'm scrolling and slowly lift my finger, it continues to scroll.
Do I have a defective unit? Or is this something I need to adjust?
I've already tried the TSP Update and it succeeded, but nothing changed. It's still reacts the same.
Appreciate any assistance on this.

Yea that's a weird issue. Ik on past phones there was like a glove mode to increase the sensitivity. I'm not sure if s7 has it but if it does maybe it's worth looking into if it got toggled somehow

Unfortunately I don't think that's the case here.
I am wondering if it's the same issues that happened with the S6!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/touchscreen-s6-sensitive-t3073953
Perhaps it affects certain people's biology. I'm just pulling anything out of my hat of logic lol. I'll play with some in stores tomorrow and see if it's something that follows me around or if it's just the phone's technology.
I appreciate your insight.

Have you tried a factory reset? Always the last thing to try. You never know.

Sometimes i'm filling same thing. But most of the time it seems that I just touching egde screens without noticing it .
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

You think you've got issues

I wonder if it's because you are touching the sides. The edges seem a bit more sensitive on the S7 than the S6, and I notice that because of the curved back, you are touching/holding the edges more than you did on the old phone. I have to use it more to confirm if this is an issue, but I did notice it while playing with it for a few hours last night setting everything up.

I've noticed the same thing. I thought I was crazy when trying to type and getting weird letters that randomly appeared! If it's happening on multiple units then it's probably a bug not necessarily a defective phone.

He said he tried it flat in the table hence he wasn't holding it. I've noticed the same thing on mine even while using s rather bulky case.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA Labs

Right! I experience it even when not holding it. I can make it happen without holding the phone and it's consistently doing it. It's overly sensitive for sure. I'm thinking about making a quick video of it but it may be difficult to see and it may be challenging to do and record at the same time.

I mean I could but I don't think that's a thing since Galaxy S6.
But if you know of where they are I would like to turn them off lol. I have slowly became accustomed to it, but it still annoys.
I plan on visiting T-Mobile and Best Buy tomorrow to see if the demo units experience this.
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

Is anyone else experiencing touch screen oddities? or is it just few vs the many?

So I went to Best Buy and wasn't able to get the demo units to do the same thing my phone is doing. I showed the Samsung guy (which I'm pretty sure is on Best Buy's payroll) and he was surprised by it as well. He said his S7 wasn't doing it, but he thought maybe it was an Edge issue.
Long story short, I called T-Mobile and they're shipping me a new one.
Here's hoping the next one doesn't have this issue.

Don't have mine yet, but might be worth posting your specifications up. They post phone, color, where it was made, screen manufacturer, chip-set, etc.
In the past when there were issues like this, it helped to narrow down if it was a particular hardware combination. Also, a video would certainly help. Just my 2 cents.

Pixel XL issues and defects

Probably not the best type of thread but it's for anyone who has faced any issues or defects with Pixel XL. When I'm expected to fork out £819 for a top end of phone I don't really expect any types of defects.
Overall I'm quite pleased with the phone but I've noticed the pulse notification light is bit odd. Green colour is perfect but red or orange colours show as white and pink!!!
I'm sure that's not how it's supposed to be?
I've reported this to google who are looking into it and will get back to me.
Anyone else tested any features which aren't as expected or noticed any defects please let us know.

The power button feels weird, like it doesn't wanna press unless I push a certain way. Might be just me, though

There's a dead pixel on the left hand side of my screen. I've tried to ignore it, but it's really bothering me. I think I'm just going to return it and hope that the replacement doesn't take months to arrive.

I don't know how to test LED light, is it turned off with ambient display?
my only issue so far is the lack of double tap to wake. The phone is super fast and responsive. I'm at work, so I can't play too much, but damn is it going to get used all night.

Going into settings, notifications then tap on the settings icon and toggle on pulse notification light.
Took me a while to figure.
I couldn't find option to change colour so installed light manager to switch between different colours.

After some exhaustive testing against my Samsung Galaxy S 7 Edge I concluded that the upload speed using 4G with the pixel XL is about 10% of that of the Galaxy S 7 Edge I wonder why that is and I hope that it will be an update to the modem that will fix this problem I would love to hear from the rest of you what kind of upload speeds you are getting using the 4G network with your new pixel XL phone thank you very much for your help

LG V20 Screen retention

Hello, just thought I would post here about my V20. I bought my V20 on the night of November 10, and loved using it ever since. It replaced my Droid Turbo 2, which was a meh phone for me. Up until last week, I had no issues whatsoever with the V20, at all. Then, last week I could tell there looked to be some thick orange lines on the left and right sude of the phone, from top to bottom. I thought it was probably nothung, so I ignored it. The next day it was gone, until that night, and it was back again, and the line on each side were thicker than before. I now knew that this probably was an issue, but still ignored it. Over the next few days, it got worse, when the top status bar started showing the PM and time in the same place, when the clock wasn't showing, notifications were on the screen when they shouldn't be, and even the second screen started getting my signature burned into the display (though it wasn't burned, since it goes away after a while.) The button bar on the bottom of the screen will burn in as well, as it has started to a couple days ago. Anyone else experiencing this? Have any tips? Thanks
