Hello. My wife's S7 edge has a blue dot on her screen at all times but it is most obvious on a black screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have attached a picture.

Okay, thanks but I just noticed it and she has had the phone since release and we got it from verizon... so we are screwed I just wanted to see if I could fix it some how.
@PhillyD77 Im sorry to hear that, did you get insurance on it. If so I would wait to use insurance until the phones not usable. you may be able to see if the play store has and app to try and fix bad pixels, some people say things like that sometimes work on pcs, but I have always doubted that they even work all. Let us know if you try anything and what the outcome is. Thanks
I did a quick search and found three apps I have not tried them or anything use them at your own risk

some store reviews say they works, but could be fake, or bots posting reviews.

Thank you, I will check it out and update if I get any results.
Cool, I hope something works for you guys.
I also hope I didn't break any xda rules about posting links. I am pretty sure we are only aloud to post app names.

Forgive me if this is a stupid question.....Can I install a theme on my G1 if my phone is not rooted/jail broken?
Themes are rom specific so if you are not rooted to flash a rom than you also can not flasha theme. If you want a theme I would suggest going with a home replacment app like dxtop or something of the like.
And there are no stupid ?s just some where we can point and laugh at

Yea, I've had the phone less than a week and will probably root it. Problem is, I've never done it before. I watched the video on youtube and read about it but am a bit weary.
If anybody lives in or around Detroit and wants to do it for me, hit me up with a PM. Obviously, there's compensation involved

PLEASE don't go by youtube videos. We've seen to many people come here from getting lost on some bs video. There are plenty of guides here and people to help. Rooting is so simple if you just take your time and read. And in the long run it will be worth it cause when you run into a problem you will understand it. And hey you can give us some of that COMPENSATION.
I want some compensation too
I had my g1 for 3 days when I rooted and never looked back, well okay maybe this one time in band camp...................................................

HOLY CRAP!!!!!
Someone who is researching and learning. These are the type of people that I love helping. My Gtalk address is in your PM inbox, you are free to ask questions with no compensation needed.
P.S. I like the idea of waiting a couple weeks because then when you root it, you can really appreciate what it offers over stock.
Ok ok, this one is your's than can you at least send a cig my way, I forgot add my phone bill before they shut me off to my todo list so now I am back to poor, I must say they had good timing when they sent me the bill is overdo text when I was right outside the t-mobile store next to the supermarket. Do you think t-mobile is tracking us, next thing you know they will be monitoring my b.a.c. and sending me text like "you know you want to buy a mytouch"
Scary, I think I got one last night, but it erased it self to not leave any proof
gridlock!!!!!! I need your advise!!!!!
I got a cigarette stuck in my sdcard slot while trying to.... well let's not worry about why..... How do I...... eh forget it.
Two words. Paper clip, wait that might make it worse finger lickin, just pour some beer in there. Get your g1 drunk and it might puke it back up, could always try giving it a laxative
Just thought I'd let you guys know. I just called HTC support to try to get my phone repaired. I read other post saying It'd be a good idea to let them know over the phone if it's unlocked so I did. Pretty much hung up the phone on me there, said they can't /won't do anything, even though it's a hardware issue. If i bricked the phone, I can take responsibility in that, but this is just BS.
Anyone else have a similar issue or way to circumvent this? I'm tempted to just brick it and get it replaced as they won't see the unlocked.
Any input would be great. There is a **** ton of dust too.
How long have you had the phone? I got mine three weeks ago but this dust issue is the reason I haven't rooted. So far I have had no issues. Does anyone have a high Res pic of the dust issue? Kind of curious to see it.

I wonder if there will be a way to relock soonish.

Mine are in the dead center - 4 or 5 big ones that are super noticeable. and a lot of itty bitty ones
I just called again hoping to get someone else. I did. I got the exchange process going and they are sending me one. I just am worried about once they review it. Last time when I sent it in I had a manager call me back personally and leave a message. Wish me luck guys. And if it comes down to it. Deny deny deny !

I want to replace power button (standby / screen off) .
It can't or don't have any app , isn't it???
I'm sorry, but could you clarify what you're asking?
He wants an application that can be used to turn the screen off/put the phone to sleep. To "replace" the power button.

Carlos Graves from phonedog was showing off cyanogen a month or so ago and he had some sorta program that could power down your phone and such. I might be wrong though. If your phone is rooted, I could look it up for you.

Sure, i'd be glad to help. It will take me a little bit to find it though. I might be mistaken though but i'll report back whatever I can find.
Thanks, man.
I hope you find what you thought you saw, but I really doubt it was such an app, though. We have this other thread going on ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653209 ), and nobody seems to have heard of such a function currently available.
Shame though, as it turns out that alot of people is having major problems with their power buttons.
Well I found what I was looking for but it wasn't what I thought it was. I'm extremely sorry.
The program I thought turned off the phone is called "quick boot" but that just helps your phone boot into recovery and such. It can also reboot your phone which is a plus. It can be seen here

at 40 seconds into the video. Sorry about that.
No problem, that's what I thought. (See my last post.)
And the search continues...
If you're willing to root its a done deal on cm or enomthers.

What function are you referring to in cm?
This phone is draining my time and killing my soul. Selling it before my wife chooses to sell me. There are more important things to focus on in my life. Already changed back to my faithful Env3. and busted out my 7MP point-and-shoot camera. Ah, the good 'ol days
PM me if you want to make an offer. Close to mint condition. A few minor scratches on the screen that happened before I applied the screen protector. Can't really even see them. Stock battery. Everything works great. Currently running MIUI, but of course you can flash what you like. I can throw in an 8GB card. Offers via PM only, please. I live near Houston, TX if that means anything to you.
I'll post to Ebay and transact it that way if it makes you feel better, but I'll have to take a slightly higher offer to cover their gouging commissions. As of now, it's not on Ebay.
You can see from my post count that I'm not new to XDA. This is legit.
Moderators, let me know if there's a more appropriate place to put this. I figured it was pretty 'general'.
dude thats bad you can't control yourself with that phone?lol instead of getting rid of it you should prob seek help.
lmao @jager. Its not unusual for someone to get obsessed with there phones, they are amazing and can do everything.
He doesnt need to seek help, he saw there was a problem and he fixed it, dont troll

LOL! Yea right.
Look...I am tempted nearly every minute of every day to check this website and get the latest thing. The surest way to get rid of the temptation is to get rid of the phone. I've already reclaimed a few hours of my life just in the past couple of days.
No takers yet. I guess I'll post to E-bay
I have a friend who might be interested. I'll check with him. What would be a general idea of what your looking out of it? (PM me if you don't want to post here please)

I wouldn't end that statement with "sorry". If he just bought it like that, he's not going to be the least bit disappointed with having to reset it in order to make it work. Just being able to make it work is all he's after. I'm sure he's ecstatic to know that he can

Well, I figured he was looking for the easy way but that's not what he's going to get short of knowing the person's email and password so the only way is to Odin the stock roms so your right sorry shouldn't have ended my statement however it did because it's not what he wanted to hear I'm sure.

I may be a bit biased because I've rootedand customized phones since the D1, when it was MUCH harder than it it currently. But I have always found ODIN very easy to use. In reality, I'm sure the OP could look up a video on youtube on how to use ODIN and get his phone working in like 20 min (minus download/setup times for ODIN, ROM, etc.). And I'm sure he saved a bundle buying it like that. He just needs to pray it's not IMEI locked on top of it, or all that effort will have been wasted
