Warning! check your new pixels, damaged new straight from google! - Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion

So I got my 2 new Pandas XL today after waiting a month and I first opened the 64Gb version set it up and then I notice at the top of the edge of the frame a little hole kind of like a mic hole or like a light hole. I thought maybe it was part of the phone but the more I looked at it the more I notice I looked like a chip. I opened the 128gb and that one was perfect. Called Google and I set up a return, they said they would send me a new one but I would have to wait again 2 to 3 weeks. So I said I was just going to return it for a refund and they would not do anything else to make up for it! Long story short check your pixels and inspect it good I don't know how they can send products out like this.

T-Mobile wing - Broken LCD screen

I some how managed to break my phone's LCD screen. Not sure how it happened... I swear. I called T-Mobile hoping for a replacement and as expected they courteously asked me go F#%K myself. It's almost a new phone so I'm not willing to give up on it.
So now, I'm looking for a way to fix it. First, I want to know where I can find a compatible LCD screen for a descent price. The once I've come across so far are more than $100. And second, instructions on how to replace the screen.
Any help with this will be truly appreciated.
Thanks!
Anyone ever figure out the replacement process? My daughter broke hers yesterday.
Thanks
when you order a screen..it should come with tools.
you use those to remove the housing..
then you basically unplug the old LCD touch display and plug in the new one..
i think.
I saw the higher priced lcd's on ebay that included tools & instructions. I basically have the tools I need. I would just like to have the instructions and an lcd. Wny are things like this so hard to find nowadays.

I have the instruction on how to do replacement for LCD (t-mobile wing) only to take out screws and if your not aware of every detailed of what your doing your probably end up killing your WING
Go on ebay and look for a ebay seller by the name of lcd4pda. I talked to him in email about the lcd screen, he has the tmobile wing lcd in stock with tools and instructions. 65.00 to 85 bux to get one and it comes with the digitaltizer on it which my wing has a hole in the digitalizer and i have to order a new lcd, hes my best bet.
New LCD, still not working
I dropped my Wing a week ago and it seemed fine. Put it in my pocket and then took it out a couple hours later and the screen had about 4 cracks in it. I assumed it was because I had dropped it earlier. The screen was white except for some blue areas where the cracking was most severe.
I ordered a brand new replacement LCD screen on ebay and just finished installing it. To my utter dismay the screen is still completely white!! It seems to respond to my touch (it goes brighter when I touch it), and it turns on and off w/ the power switch, but there is nothing but white on the screen.
Is it possible I got the connection loose when I installed it? Or is it likely there's something else wrong with my phone? Thanks in advance for any help.
It's probably a bad connection. Did you ever think you'd have to go through so much disassembly to replace the screen? Just so everyone knows, lcd4pda is legit.
Edit: Shipping was extremely high ($16.99). The location on eBay is shown as Canada but, it comes from Virginia. via First Class. I checked shipping to my location on the USPS site. It only cost $1.98. The package weight is 6oz.
Tell me about it! I had to practically start taking photographs to remember where all of the pieces and screws went. I dropped one of the screws on the ground and it took me 10 minutes to find . I'll disassemble again later tonight and refit all of the connections to see if that makes a difference. I sure hope so.
For those replacing their screens, the service manual:
http://www.modaco.com/content/Pocke...58716/HTC-Service-Manuals-Dismantling-Guides/
has a good set of instructions on how to disassemble the Wing. The hardest part is when you have to use a credit card or something similar to unseat the keyboard. You actually have to insert the card or other plastic tool between the edge of the keyboard and the edge of the phone. The pictures confused me because it seemed like I was supposed to insert the card flat into the side of the phone but really, if your phone is sitting on top of the table, you actually insert the card DOWN into this small space.
Also, for those that are new to removing the connections that are in the phone (like I was), there is usually some tape that you have to first remove before you can unhook the connection.
It worked! The connection from the screen to the phone, the one underneath the RF board, wasn't pushed in quite far enough. I reseated it and voila! I now have a working phone again that can not only receive calls but can make them now!
Now that I know it works, I can also recommend seller superpc168 on ebay. $49.75 for the screen and I spent $15 for 2-day UPS shipping.
Thanks cracula. Just ordered a screen on ebay. Hopefully I should be able to fix my phone.
still have white screen.
does anyone know what i can do to fix that. i tried reseating everything but it seems to still have the white screen. any help will be appreciated.
Replacement Wing Lcd
I got a Replacement LCD for my WING for $55 at WWW.HTCLCD.COM
..........
The weirdest thing!
I found the manual through various places including here on the site. With the manual every thing went fine. EXCEPT THAT NOW THE MAJORITY OF THE KEYBOARD BUTTONS AREN'T WORKING. It must be a faulty connection on my part of course. I'm gonna give it another shot tonight and see if it works a gain. I found the screen on the fonlogix site(blackberry8100parts.com).
Broken lcd tmobile wing
i just had my wing lcd screen fixed but by someone who doesn't work for tmobile he fixes phones and installs iphone programs on them also.. He charged me $100 to fix my lcd screen, tmobile wanted between $150 to $250 to fix it i told tmobile screw it i'll find somwhere and i did.. If you can find an outside source to fix your phone do so..
i broke my screen on my tmobile wing a while back.....was taking a 7 hour drive and the phone was sitting on the passenger seat in the sun for a few hours, later on that evening i picked it up and noticed i had a nice big crack on the screen from top to bottom somehow
called tmobile, they told me i had been paying the insurance they gave me the phone # to the insurance people, called them....paid a $100 deductible and got a brand new replacement wing
never thought i'd use the insurance, glad it came handy!
if its under warrenty dont tell them its broken say its a bloack screen theyll send you a new one and they will charge you once you send it back 100 dlrs for out of warrenty thats not bad for another phone wing
https://blackberry8100parts.3dcarts...ment-LCD-W-Touch-Screen-Digitizer_p_6-69.html
only $55. they sent me the screen but i had to remind them... a bit slow (nearly 5 days to process the order) but it is good and they provide instructions

Screen Replacement Services
Another option, especially for those not comfortable with tearing apart small electronics, is to have the phone repaired by a professional. I actually own a small company called Jet City Devices that can replace the screen on your T-Mobile Wing. The cost is a lot lower than a new phone and you'll have your phone back - with all of the data in tact - in under a week.
Just an option for those that don't want to spend their time trying to figure out how to fix their Wing themselves.

Missing pixel!!

So I opened my phone and as soon as I opened up a white screen, I noticed a nagging MISSING PIXEL! I know it's a bit paranoid but one would expect their product not to have any effects after dropping close $600 on it...
I called HTC and their warranty department says there are 2 options: 1) they can send a new phone, or 2) repair this one. Taking the first option, they would charge my credit card full price of the phone for the time being, then send out a new phone and I send mine back. Once they realize the defect, they will refund the money. If you send it in for repair, not only are you out of the Nexus One for 2 weeks, but they also charge a $28 service fee (nonrefundable), and in the end probably replace the phone anyway. I'll probably take option 1.
Anyone have missing pixels? (Try looking at some blank white screen to analyze)
nope not me
I am afraid to check. If I do and I find one, it will drive me crazy. I sent back 2 dell flat screens in a row because of a dead pixel on each of them.
I suppose I better find out now, and not when its too late to do something about it.
I wouldnt worry about getting dead pixels too much. the AMOLED displays in the N1 are Samsung -- high quality stuff
Which is fine, but checking is a good idea. You can get a pixel fixing app on the Market that helps you test for dead or weak pixels. If you find one, then tell them to send you a replacement.

Brand new SGS2, screen defect

I just took delivery of my SGS2 yesterday, and I gotta say I absolutely love this phone. Coming from an LG eXpo with WinMo 6.5 and never having used Android, it doesn't even feel like a phone. Plus with all the easy integration with my Google accounts, I've never had a smoother transition to a new device before. All this makes it all the more difficult for me to have to send it back...
I'm not sure if anyone else has encountered this problem, but it looks like my phone came pre-packaged with burn in or something in the form of a dark circle near the upper right side of my screen. I've attached some photos of what it looks like.
I noticed this abnormality in the first 10 minutes or so of using the phone while looking at some photos on my Picasa account. I almost feel like this phone could have been a refurb unit, or the screen was reused or something. In fact, there appears to be more substantial burn in than I can photograph, as there are several other places where I can see strange distortions. Most, if not all, only show up when the brightness is less than 100%. I'd thought maybe it was some widget that caused the burn in, but I haven't been able to figure out which one it could be.
Anywho, I've already arranged an RMA thru Expansys-USA, and they did so without even asking any questions after my email with photos of the problem. So far I've received amazing support from Expansys-USA and definitely recommend them. Also going to see if I can request a replacement sent before I send back this one so I won't be without a phone during the shipping time, something they mention is possible in the RMA email (though they do charge you for it, to be refunded once they get the defective unit back and inspect it).
Would be interesting to see if anyone else has this problem. If there's already another post on this subject, sorry about this new one... didn't see any when I searched tho.
I can see the same thing on mine if I put it on the lowest brightness setting and display a grey image. Nowhere near as pronounced as on yours though, have to really really look for it, so can't be arsed to do anything about it.
Interesting that it's a perfect circle though, could it be just above the CPU or something?
Nope, haven't got that circle on mine at all.
Maybe an assembly worker lost their wedding ring, lol...
You'll be fine, it's an RMA for sure!
Defo a faulty phone
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I believe that mark is from the vacuum suction cup on the assembly line from the automated machine that handles positioning the display component. It technically should disappear over time, but I don't know how long.
I don't think it's the CPU, though to be honest I'm not sure where it is under the screen. There is that odd gold-colored sensor or whatever under that area, I think.
If it's a wedding ring, maybe this phone's worth more than the sticker price! haha
Vacuum cup huh... that's pretty bad if it's damaging the screen while doing that. I don't want to wait and see if it will disappear. If I do wait and it doesn't go away I'll be out $725 on a phone with a screen that'll constantly bug me.
Kinda funny, as I was looking at the photos I attached, I saw two rings... one in the photo, and the real one. Startled me when I first saw it.
I didnt have the same problem as you but i had line banding or something on my one.. i had to replace it 4 times then noticed it overheated+smell coming from it.. so i just returned it and got my money back.
Just be aware that you might get another faulty phone.. If i was you i would wait till it comes out in the US.
That sucks, and it's not good that other people are having some issues as well. Good to hear that Expansys is honoring their agreements though
This is why I don't import anymore

Could well be spot on. I don't know if I'm imagining this, but I'm having more and more trouble seeing this ring on my display heh (had the phone for 9 days now).

Man, that's really unlucky! Knock on wood, I hope I don't get another bad one. However I'm not sure waiting will do me much good. History has shown me that branded devices tend to have a lot of crap on them and lack certain features at times, and I don't have as much time as I used to to keep up with the scene to make the phone operate better all the time. Also, I'm contract-free with unlimited data on AT&T, and I don't like being locked into contracts. This isn't my first non-US phone, though. I'm happy to pay the extra money so long as it means I don't have to sign a contract.

From the Expansys-USA thread, sounds like they'll ship the phone back to the UK to have it serviced for you if it ever goes bad. This doesn't sound uncommon, either, as I've had a friend here ship his JP Xbox 360 back to Japan to have it serviced (with a another friend's JP address), and another friend in Japan had his laptop sent back here to have it serviced. Also, there's always the chance a non-import one will be bad, too. Luck of the draw, I guess, and perhaps early-adopter woes. lol
Got my replacement on Saturday, been playing with it ever since to see if I could find any further problems. Definitely no circle this time around, and some of the vertical banding I saw on my old phone in the notification screen is gone, but now has some very slight horizontal banding. Not a deal-breaker tho, so this one's staying with me. Also, hard to tell but I think the yellow/dark left screen problem is present, but so slight I can barely detect it if it's there and not a trick of the eye.
Gotta thank Expansys-USA for their great customer service. I'll definitely order from them again.

I would have it exchanged for another if you can. I had mine exchanged, but since I went with the cheap option the whole ordeal took almost a month (slow shipping). My replacement doesn't have a defect, but it's possible I have the yellow tint problem others have been reporting. I don't see it tho, and if it's there it doesn't bother me.

Couldnt find a GS3 without stuck pixels

Hey guys, about 3 weeks ago I bought a Galaxy S3 (after waiting for MONTHS to get one, by the way) at first I was delighted with the performance and looks, but after 3 days I noticed I had a stuck pixel (it was black, on a blue screen) using the *#0*# test
Okay, I got a bit sad and went to the store to get it replaced, and so I did, second one......noticed the same problem some time later
Tried AGAIN, went to the store, this time they let me open as many units as I wanted to , to find a perfect one, I went through SEVEN , ALL OF THEM with stuck pixels in some color (green, red, blue) after more than an hour looking I TOUGHT I found a flawless one.....went home with it to apply a screen protector, while I was doing that I found another stuck pixel, couldnt believe what I was seeing
Went to the store ONE MORE TIME to get ANOTHER replacement, the LAST one.....took it out of the box, and there it was, a black pixel on the green screen, just gave up and got my money back
What the hell is going on with samsung? I just wanted a flawless screen, afte all, its a state of the art device, should be flawless!!!
By the way Im from Brazil and the phones were all unbranded
Might be the imported batch .
Mine is flawless .
jje
Must be the batch, mine is flawless on the LCD test.
No stuck pixels here.
Perfect here too haha. Wait two weeks then go back and try again.
Sent from my GT-I9300
Tested a few and no stuck pixels on any colour background. Bad batch for sure.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Perfect screen here too. Honestly, I have yet to buy a device with dead pixels or similiar flaws, lol. Guess I'm lucky.
Mine is flawless as well - no dead pixels at all. So you waited months? It was released at 29th of May, so in the worst case you waited about 1,5 months.
To be perfectly honest, I don't believe your story...
When I said "waited for months" I meant: I was going to buy the S2, after finding out the S3 was gonna come out I decided to wait, and in my country it was only released at the day I bought it (about 3 weeks ago) so yes, I waited for about 6 months just dreaming about it
If you dont believe me I have one good solution for you:
The big X on the upper right of your screen, click it and witness the magic
For everyone else I hope it was just a bad batch really, for christ sake I loved the device but I cant stand anything but perfection on a US$1000 handheld (its how much it costs here on Brazil)
So you waited months? It was released at 29th of May, so in the worst case you waited about 1,5 months.

He probably waited since it's announcement and possibly even before. But that's pointless to calculate, since one might say I've waited for years to get it... Which btw is true since I knew that more or less the 3.generation would be around roughly at the time my S1's 2year contract was over.
but after 3 days I noticed I had a stuck pixel

I'm very sure you've not found a single Samsung Galaxy i9X00 phone with a stuck pixel and you probably never will. AMOLED screens have no moving parts so the pixels cannot get stuck as with LCD but either die (dead pixel) or react too slow (lazy pixel). Factory-defects such as pixels lighting at the wrong time or shorting with others are of course also possible.
I went through SEVEN , ALL OF THEM with stuck pixels in some color

Have you actually tried apps designed for stuck pixel / dead pixel repair? Often enough the pixel can be revived regardless of whether it's an (O)LED or LCD screen.
My dear friend im sorry for using the wrong expression.....im used to LCD screens and I would call it a stuck pixel because it cant reproduce one especific color (for example the pixel which presents itself black on a blue screen)
Yes, I tried the "unstucking" apps, left them running for hours and hours, like 12 hours at least, it didnt make any difference
Guess I'll just have to wait 2 months and try again, lets hope Im luckier this time, since its not looking to be a general problem...
That was (very faint) humor, so don't take it too personal :silly:
I think everyone understood what you meant, you just used the wrong term for the technology in question
Hmm, that definitively sounds like a bad batch. However I'm surprised, since Samsung's quality control might let one or 2 units slip but ALL of them having defects? I dunno, but that kinda sounds strange...
Maybe your seller got duped into buying units which Samsung's quality control filtered out. Only a hypothesis but well...
On an interested side note: How hard or easy are the dead pixels to spot? Maybe some of us got them but are unable to notice.
The brain is very good at interpolating missing parts of an image or color. Also how bright was it in the room?
I've recently seen a darker splotch on the screen on the red color but can't find it anymore. (Maybe it was just dirt after all...)
Probably a bad batch, I also bought in Brazil and it is perfect.

Lets just get one thing straight, a black pixel is considered as a dead pixel, other colours are considered as stuck or bright pixels, it's also normal for a screen to have upto 3-5 pixels problem according to the international standard, so you are luck the shop will allow you get a refund after all the unboxed you did, not that anyone will blame you if you get a dead or stuck pixels in the middle of the screen is quite annoying.
anyway here is my story with problems
1 st unit was a in store inspection, out of the box the power button was stuck.
2nd unit, instore inspection the phone had a few specks of dust in screen.
3rd unit seems fine, and thats the unit I took home until I made and received call, although calls made instore were fine, 99.8% of them, the calls will just cut off between 3 minutes and 7 minutes.
Next day
4th unit had more dust in the screen.
5th unit had a black dead pixel in blue screen.
6th unit with instore inspection seem ok, took this home and then I noticed there was a problem with the wifi.
Phone detects wifi but won't connect, just saves into the memory and sometimes it will connect.
Also my router has 3 ssid set, guest, 5ghz and 2.4ghz, most of the time it will just detect one of the 3 ssid while the other 2 will be detected about 5-7 minutes later.
I also have one of the air drive where i can stream music or video from a portable box, most of the time it won't even connect, but the phone detect the signal, if it connects, it won't stream.
If a wifi signal connects, just moving a meter or two away from the router will disconnect.
In all cases the wifi signal detected is very strong.
Next day
7th unit in store inspection found a dark grey stuck pixel in a dark grey background using pixel testers.
8th unit, the greyish silver side of the phone was made very bad.
Next day did not exchange phones
9th unit one tiny speck of dust right at the top of the right corner of the screen.
10th unit, there were two white spot on the bezel, one next to the ear piece and sensor and the other on the side near the volume, both on top next to the screen.
before I check the 9th and 10th phone I did say I will check 2 more unit and if unlucky I will return it to samsung and have the phone's wifi fixed instead, as I did have a good screen.
Well I took the 9th phone as the 1 speck of dust didn't stand out that much.
upto now the phone is working very well.
there you go, my short story.
It's interesting to see that there seem to be quality control issues with devices sold by Hong-Kong retailer and a brazilian retailer.
Both locations are known to have a lot of fake or "fell of the truck" electronic devices, so I stand by my earlier hypothesis that they might not be devices from a batch Samsung ever intended for sale.
(This does not mean the seller knew about it, any part of the delivery chain can be the cause)

The Only 128GB Matte Gold Nexus 6P?

I was recently looking into selling my 6P since I have my Pixel 2 XL on order. Happened to get an eBay email today about selling my phone so I thought why the hell not. As you can see form the link, you just simply select options from the list so you can either know what the average trending price of your phone is or get a cash offer from Quick Sale.
I was upset that I couldn't select 128GB option after selecting the gold color - thinking it was eBay's error. Well, I Google around and apparently it's a well known fact that Matte Gold was not offered in 128GB!
So how this happened, back in January, I was streaming music in my car when the music suddenly stopped. I grabbed my phone out of the center cubby and the phone was in the middle of rebooting. Well it freaking bootlooped until the battery died. When I got home I recharged it and got into Recovery and thought I'd wipe and reboot. No luck and reading the forms at the time, everyone said to RMA with either Google or Huawei.
Long story short, I RMA'd through Huawei and they said they replace or fix the phone. After about a week they said they repaired it and it was being shipped back. Back in my hand I started immediately caching my Google Play Music library to my phone and wondered where the hell all the extra space came from. I guess that to fix my phone they just replaced the main board that happened to have 128GB onboard instead of my original 64GB. I don't think it was a completely different handset since it came back same box I sent it in and just like my phone it was flawless except from some scuffs around the Type-C port.
TL;DR
Idk what the hell happened but I'm curious to know if I possibly have the only 128GB Matte Gold Nexus 6P in the world???
Cool Story Bro
Nice free upgrade!
I bought a used 128Gb silver 6P a few weeks ago, after my Pixel XL died.
It came with a gold tinted see-through case and I thought it looked pimp.
Come to find out, it's actually just a clear see-through case that yellowed with age.
I still think it's pimp. hahah
