Anyone know how to avoid the 35$ restocking fee?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 00mred00:
The restocking fee does not apply to a defective phone and if the manager is charging that you simply need to remind them that warranty works differently
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tokoam:
i can defintely see small micro lines running across the screen with lower brightness or even on auto brightness turned on but im not sure if i wanna return the phone for this as its not that big of a deal to me on a side note i notice when the screen is on and on a black background when the backlight is not fully on i can see small black blob looking pockets around the screen but the screen is rarely in that kinda mode normally its when somthing is in the process of loading like a game or app that is rather large.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 00mred00:
yeah I still have splotches and blobs even though the lines are gone. I am never in a situation that I see those and all of our TVs do that too.

It takes the right background and an absolutely dark room and no back light for me to duplicate it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] upyouratrix:
I would take that too! I just couldnt handle looking at a notification bar (when pulled down) that looked like brushed aluminum. Even the stock background you could see tons of verticle lines (worst at the top). Funny how the background they used to show off the screen also shows the flaws in the screen!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] orlandoxpolice:
Mine isn't that extreme. I only see the lines on the grey background of the market loading screen. Or any grey color for that matter
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] orlandoxpolice:
Also, this banding issue with with all AMOLED screens with pentile displays, or so I have been told. People with the Galaxy Nexus are currently complaining about it...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 00mred00:
We are not referring to banding. Banding is horizontal from what I have seen posted. This is more of vertical etched lines, quite possibly on the back side of the glass
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] orlandoxpolice:
I am trying to read up on this since I plan to exchange it tomorrow.

The fine print on the back of the receipt states:

"Returns (excluding tablets) are subject to a 35$ restocking fee except where prohibited"

"You may exchange/return equipment one time within the 30 day return period"

Under the warranty information on a new device owned less than 31 days, it says refer to the AT&T return policy.

Sorry if I am being long winded, I just don't want to get screwed.

Since they use the verbiage 'return' and 'exchange' separately, I am assuming the restock fee only applies to the 'return' and not the 'exchange'.

I also want to make sure I get a phone with no screen issues in the store before I walk out. Is that possible? I know when they turn on the brand new phone it is usually after the transaction is complete.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] demonwind:
I read somewhere on At&T that the restock fee is only if you're device is damaged or missing some parts. So they should charge you for it. I'm wondering how some of you managed to get them to open the box at the store and test it. The return policy says you can only exchange or return one time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Chr0nicDreamz:
I also noticed a gradiant problem with some images. Making it look like a 256 color LCD. Lol.

I know a few ppl with the sgs2, and the infuse that are not having this issue. So we know its not the super amoled screen. Its gotta be a defect. Also I pointed samsung to some of the images here and they suggested having the phone replaced. Mine will be replaced this week

HTC = Hate The Consumer
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] andgo23:
I was disappointed with my Skyrockets screen. It doesn't have any defects, but the resolution sucks compared to my Captivate. I had to use an iPhone 4 for about a month before getting my Skyrocket and the iPhone looks better too. I think it's due to the larger screen. Since I got my Skyrocket for a penny I'm going to keep it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] the2rrell:
Nooooo way. I have a captivate right next to my phone its not better in comparison. In fact I have 3 cappys and I'm not saying the rocket blows them away but BETTER nahhhhh
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] orlandoxpolice:
Spoke with a att rep and they said unless samsung acknowledges the issue they won't do much about it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Nickel Dime Bay:
Got mine yesterday and i see a lot of lines (brushed metal) on my screen, i wonder if they would replace it if i took it to ATT.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] demonwind:
Theoretically they should, since the return policy states if you are unhappy with your phone you can get it exchanged or refunded. I'm just wondering how people managed to keep doing it after their new phone also had the same problem.

And there's no way Samsung will acknowledge this problem. Just go to AT&T and force them to follow their return policy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Geostrophic:
Yeah...I'm on #3 :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] legionz:
lol

phone is great screen when dim looks like crap but full brightness put every otherp hone to shame
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tokoam:
replaced my phone today at local bestbuy the issue still remains ! lines appear on low brightnest matter of fact they are even there on full but is less apparent.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] demonwind:
Yes but who uses their phone at full brightness? You'll kill your eyes. And you can still notice it on whatever brightness setting, what matters more is the source picture.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
My phone stays on full brightness 99 percent of the time. I cant stand it any other way. The other 1 percent is if ita dieing and i need it to last.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cdshepherd:
No matter how bright or dim, my phone DOES NOT have any of these screen problems you guys talk about. Must be lucky I guess
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kwaalude:
I replaced mine last week and this one is much better...not perfect like my infuse...but better. ATT said they hadn't heard of any issues and was trying to be d-bags because apparently, "I should just turn the brightness up". Anyway they finally agreed but I'd like to see something official from them or Samsung.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] babalonius508:
Well I would have to agree with the OP. The screen lines look horrible. I came from the Atrix which had a clear flawless display imo. If you say "just turn up the brightness" its denial. You shouldn't have to turn up the brightness to resolve an issue that shouldn't be there in the first place. The screen sucks but this is a great phone and the screen isn't going to change that fact.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] upyouratrix:
I should be getting mine back from samsung some time this week (I hope... because it sure does suck using my N1). All i have to say is that they better have replaced my screen or I'm going to be very angry!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 00mred00:
Can't wait!!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] demonwind:
Yeah well of course they would deny the issue. If not, then they would be helping you in your argument for a refund.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] upyouratrix:
Me too! I just got my return tracking # today and it should be here Wednesday.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scoobysnacks:
brand new phone, no issues here! looks great at all brightness levels :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] orb2k:
So we should send all our skyrocket back to Samsung??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] upyouratrix:
Phone wont be back until tomorrow :-( I will update tomorrow after I get off work
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] demonwind:
Might be hard considering the deny the issue. Besides, they will just replace your screen (or give you a whole new phone? I dunno), but that does not guarantee the new one does not have this problem as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] orb2k:
some people say it's a software problem
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] demonwind:
Most likely not, as some phones have the issue and some don't but they all have the same software. At least the blobs are 100% hardware issue, they are like residue on the underside of the screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] orb2k:
Shall we send back all our phones then?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] demonwind:
If they let you (which they won't), then sure.

If everyone sent back their phones for a replacement Samsung would go broke.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] n19htmare:
Bought mine off of craigslist new.

I dont see any of the issues with "lines"

The issue I do have the blue tint when looking at the screen at an angle. Looking straight on is perfect, as soon as you start to turn it, it turns blue.

oh well. I still like the phone and screen seems fine to me otherwise.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] upyouratrix:
Well, I got mine back. According to the paperwork all they did was a software update. The screen doesn't look much better if any at all. Not sure what to do now? Do I send it back and use my N1 for another week?

I'm a bit disappointed in Samsung :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Numpangx:
That sucks either get a replacement or trying sending it back. Goodluck man
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] demonwind:
Samsung does not fix the problem. Shouldn't have sent it back to them, it's just a waste of time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] upyouratrix:
After spending some more time with the phone last night, the lines in gray colors seem much improved. I'm still noticing the lines on low brightness in dark environments, but it seems as if they might have calibrated it better.

I will call Samsung tomorrow to see what they say, but I really don't want to send it back again. Its so hard to go back to using my N1 that has only a 3.7" screen and is so slow!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Chr0nicDreamz:
*Update*

After receiving the replacement phone and also comparing the 2 side by side with all the same settings, rom, images, etc and also having 3 others look at the 2 the replacement is by far a much cleaner and more eye pleasing experience. I cannot see the lines unless I really really look for them. you gotta go Indiana Jones on the phone just to find them
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bic_pen:
Wow. It's amazing after emailing, calling, AND live chatting with Samsung I did not find a single associate who is "aware" of the vertical line screen complaints. I just want them to admit... Either they manufactured some sub par screens and it is what it is, or they made some defective screens (hello quality control?) I watch lots of netflix on my phone at night in bed... In the dark. It looks crummy. Im not expecting an HD screen but I am expecting a little better than this. Please send some emails to Samsung. I just sent one and they replied stating that they are forwarding my email to a higher department... Hopefully. Maybe if they are pummeled with dissastisfaction we can at least get an answer. If it is a "boo boo" then they have an obligation to tell the consumer and fix the phones. It's just frustrating that they flat out deny that the complaint exists when clearly I'm not the only one noticing this flaw. Makes me think they blew it and don't want to pay for the mistake. Aside from the screen I still love the phone it's a beast. Fast, responsive, and efficient.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Chr0nicDreamz:
You do have a point, and twitter seems to work for their support as well. just keep bugging the **** out of them... its all I do daily...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] demonwind:
We need more official reviewers to acknowledge the issue (like CNET, or this site itself). Just some people online won't really make a difference. I'm sure they know of the issue but the employees are trained to not acknowledge it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Gibbs:
Well, I guess ignorance is bliss, cuz I don't see any lines on my phone. Either that, or I got a good phone. Even in dim light I don't see the lines. Just a beautiful screen. I wish you the best of luck in getting this issue resolved; must be very frustrating. :-(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] gravi2:
Actually Samsung is aware of the problem:

http://www.samsung.com/us/support/allQuestion.do?prd_mdl_name=SGH-I727

Search for "screen".

But i guess that is not going to move forward.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] demonwind:
They are aware but they're still ignorant.

Yes they can fail that hard.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shaggyskunk:
Gravi2 what did you enter in the search field, to find the reference to the screen issues?

Thanks!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] demonwind:
Just search for "lines" and you'll find it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shaggyskunk:
Thanks demonwind! I guess that I am lucky with mine, the screen looks perfect. But I know that some people on the Rogers forum have been reporting problems..

I tried searching for "screen issues", but that returned way to much stuff, and still couldn't find what I was looking for.

Any word on how long it takes to receive the case after ordered? I ordered on the 30th and so far I haven't even received a shipping confirmation.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] Azmodeus:
They said to me that shipping takes place usually 3-5 days after the order.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] AFront85:
I just received mine in the mail.

It's worth the scratch I'd say. I love the moleskin look, so this is perfect. The tablet feels very secure with the rubber tabs. In fact, I held the case open and upside down and shook vigorously over my mattress and the tablet stayed in place.

Some negatives are that as a stand it is a bit slippery, but not awful at all. The wood is a bit rough to the touch as I run my finger along in some places on the outside edge, but otherwise the wood work is fine.

Long story short: if you like elegance and function at a bit higher cost, this is the case for you!
[Kindle Fire Accessories] ianh2o:
I agree with all of the praise on this case. This is definitely a case of you get what you pay for. Came in the mail today and The quality and feel of this case is amazing.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] umarsl:
Wow this is a Nice Case!

But sadly DoDoCases are not Available for Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 or anything other than iPads and Kindles :(

That's a really neat case, is it supposed to look like a book?
[Kindle Fire Accessories] juntistik:
Just got my DODOcase for my Fire. I have to say, i'm extremely impressed. It was expensive, but i think it was probably worth it. it fits so nicely into the wood section and I feel extremely comfortable that it wont get scratched.

Cutout for power button and USB connection is perfectly placed.

Also, I attach my amazon basics stylus to the case strap, which works out really well. I would definitely recommend this case

A+
[Kindle Fire Accessories] feistygoat10:
I have had mine for about a month and love it, my only complaint is that wood is a little thin around the cutout and cracked when I was taking my fire out of the case.
[myTouch 4G General] Spidey01:
Just read this over at AP. But I wouldn't suggest holding your breath.

Once we get CM9, I rather doubt many devs are going to work off the official if such ever happens. I just hope to see CM9 when it is ready :-).
[myTouch 4G General] saranhai:
did you read the update..?

yeah... frankly though, i'm not that surprised.
[myTouch 4G General] winvinay:
mytouch 4g deserves official ICS update.

I like the combination of android base and htc customizations. sense 3.5 is amazing.

In ICS google has done very nice UI changes, which feels very standard and long lasting UI similar to W7.

So I hope to get official ICS release from T-mobile/HTC for this device.
[myTouch 4G General] The Archangel:
We are still with in the 18 month life span for our phone. Technically HTC an Tmobile have to update our phone, but I wouldn't put money on it happening.

No, I was expecting to see one though if I checked back in a couple hours. I'm waiting on CM9 anyway :-).

Whether it does or not, I was expecting it to only count for next years phones lol.
[myTouch 4G General] partyboynx2:
My MyTouch 4g just notified me today that an update is available. I'm running 2.3.4 on it right now, and it says the update is for 2.3.5... Can anybody tell me the differences in the two? Should I update? I was considering rooting my phone and flashing a rom with sense 3.0 on it. I'm nervous about bricking my phone though, so I figured if this new update contains 3.0, then just not bother rooting. But I also don't want to upgrade, then not be able to downgrade and root anymore. What is in this new 2.3.5 update?
[myTouch 4G General] The Archangel:
Either way it's a possibility for us officially, unofficially we will get it.

If I helped, give thanks, if you please.

[myTouch 4G General] Skipjacks:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_version_history#2.3.5

It's nothing earth shattering.

You can get 2.3.7 by going to CM7. Still nothing earth shattering in the changes there either. But CM7 is like worlds better than stock in my not even remotely humble opinion.
[myTouch 4G General] luminatio:
No one has mentioned that in 4.1, settings, kill app after leaving option when enabled it blanks all but the app button on the home screen and when you press the app button it blacks out the entire screen. I am not able to post on the dev page so I thought I would bring this here.
