if you have one dead pixel, i say keep it. HTC has ALWAYS had problems with dead pixels. i went through 8 G2s (Desire Z) and only had one or two without dead pixels. one even had a display that looked like it suffered from burn in.
[One (M7) General] m00moo:
Why the hell would you keep it? Stupidest advice ever. :rolleyes:

My first HTC One had ONE dead pixel. I exchanged it and got a brand new shiny one WITHOUT any dead pixels. So you're telling me I should've kept the faulty one and lived with it? lmfao..
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
HTC One is already available on hongkong? Cool...

If it is I could just cancel my pre-order with handtec, travel there and buy the HTC One. In the end I could save alot with customs & stuff.
[One (M7) General] patato2:
Yeah, why not exchange it? I can accept one or two dead dark pixel but not bright one.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] andronald:
Hello, here is my problem:

I bought the phone used (refurbished) from a second hand store. The phone's exterior is is great condition. There is only one problem: The OLED display is terribly burned! Black screen are washed out with heat marks (inverse burns), and coloured screens are burnt.

The phone probably used to be a display phone for an store somewhere. The blue leds are the worst (yes I know what I am talking about), and the green and red ones are okay. I try not to display any images or colors that have more that 30% blue.

I've been ripped off too. The store has a BS no refund policy that they told me after I bought the phone. I can't do an exchange (partially my fault too, because I was afraid they would give me a worse phone!). I had no idea it was burned until I went home and turned it on. I was planning on returning it, but then did some research about the business.. I will never shop there again :(

I don't want to the phone replaced unless it is a newer model, or better condition than this one (that I have). And I don't want to go to a third party service, unless they actually know what they are doing. The process of removing the screen is time consuming, and very risky. I don't trust anyone but Samsung at the moment.

So.. I have two options:

a) Don't get the phone repaired, and maybe flash a better Rom on it. This will probably ruin my chances of ever getting my phone fixed by Samsung if I am not careful. Short term satisfaction, until the screen dies out (I hate OLED displays for that reason).

Or

b) Pay Samsung to fix or replace my phone. I have contacted them a month ago, and they said that I could get a repair as long as my phone was not rooted. I have no idea how much it should cost (if you know, please tell me!), or, if it is really worth it. Long term satisfaction, a working screen.

And Im not talking little ghosting burns either. My screen is always a greenish yellow tinge. And I cant look at anything without seeing a burned in screen.

And if they flash at&t ics Rom because I am still on GB, then I will root and flash ShoStock 3 instead.

What should I do? What is your experience? And where (and for how much) will Samsung charge for a screen repair? Thanks.

BTW, I live in Canada. It is unlocked.

Any other input? Advice? Similar problems?

This will help everyone who has the "burn in issue". This is a awesome phone (not the best, but still great). I think it is worth keeping.

I tried that link you posted. They say that they are selling a OEM LED screen. I find that funny, since that probably isn't real. Probably just a mistake on their part, great price though (considering the type of screen).

If you are going to replace the screen yourself...and I just did it..not hard at all. Etradesupply.com has the lcd digitizer with front housing for under 120 dollars. It includes capacitive button ribbon as well. Yes this company is in China...but it was recommended by a friend of mine and I am very happy with the product. I replaced my screen very easily. If you go that route it is worth it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] andronald:
I am happy that you found a replacement screen for your device.

But, how long is it going to last? I am surprised that companies are spending money to make OLED (not LCD) displays for phones that are outdated. This phone is maybe two years old now, and if the screen is this burnt out: Is it really worth it? Do I have to keep replacing my screen every 2 years, or, is Samsung going to admit that their samoled, and other OLED technologies are "not ready for long term use because they die too quickly"?

Of course not, they just want your money!

A OLED works almost the opposite way as a LCD does. A LCD must send MORE power to a pixel that is displaying a dark pixel, while a LED display uses less energy to power a dark pixel. Almost like those old CUT monitors, it uses the additive theory of light, versus the LCD subtracting theory of light.

But they still use three color pigments: Red, Green, and Blue.

Someone who claims they are selling a i777 LCD digitizer with bottom button row is a nut ball, or, are false advertising what they are selling. I seem to be finding this problem with every third-party part company that sells parts for the OLED display.

I wish it had a LCD: It would last so much longer. Less heat, less problems, less stress, cheaper parts, and more confidence.

My verdict:

I don't trust myself enough to replace the parts myself. I ruined my iphone 3gs that way, and don't want to ruin this phone. If the phone was cheaper (I was also ripped off for the phone), then I would be slightly less reluctant to do it myself.

I will look into it some more, thanks fro your help.

Just in this statement you're comparing apples to oranges. There is no comparison,They are not manufactured they same. This device is much much easier to disassemble and reassemble then any I-device. And anyone that has this device, knows that the screen longevity is about two years and that the blues are what burns out the quickest, unfortunately its part of the business world, mass production and cutting overhead.

In my opinion, from just reading your posts you're trying to get a quality device at a minimal cost and now you're going to nickle and dime yourself to death. On top of that, getting aggravated every time you look at your device. Save yourself time, money and aggravation and get a new device...besides.... this one, even though its still a great device and still being supported by great devs is a dinosaur and will in the near future be shelved.

Veni, vidi, vici.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
Just my own opinion, but I think they're well aware that their oled displays don't last long. Odds are their thinking is that if your average display lasts between 2-3 years it'll help push you towards another new device. Just something to consider.

I have been looking at the Nexus 4. This phone (I777), is the perfect size phone for me. Not huge, but not small either. I just really hate the OLED. If it were ten years into the future (assuming that the led technology has a longer life span), then I would not be having this problem.

The nexus 4 is slightly bigger than the S2.. I like to buy older phones, because they come at reduced cost. Maybe I will wait for the next nexus to come out, then buy the old or new one.

Please also post/test:

I'm using AOKP PUB build, .33 radio and using the LTE toggle, when the toggle is OFF I get 4G, but when I toggle it ON H+ actives; so it seems settings are backwards and when I toggle LTE OFF again, my APN profile gets deleted. I have to reboot in order to restore default APN profile, but loose fast.t-mobile APN profile.

Could you post the build.prop string so I can test?

Use ES file explorer to open build.prop which is in /system via es note editor. Then do the following :

Replace telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=0 with telephony.lteOnGsmDevice=1

Note that this will have to be redone when switching it updating ROMs (ie flashing new Cyanogenmod nightlies)
[Nexus 4 General] muyoso:
Awesome. Didn't realize it was that easy. Thanks a lot for the info.
[Nexus 4 General] pwc realtor:
It also allows you to enable or disable LTE through the mobile networks settings menu and with CM10.1 you can add an LTE quick toggle to the quick settings panel.

I also forgot to mention that you need to enable the root items in ES file explorer's settings menu otherwise you can't access the phone's system files.

Hi, BerryRide...

You don't need USB Debugging enabled (as far I'm aware, it's not possible anyway, in FASTBOOT/BOOTLOADER mode)...

Download the factory stock image for your device, from here...

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

.

Shutdown your tablet... and reboot into FASTBOOT/BOOTLOADER mode (Vol Down BUTTON + PowerOn BUTTON)...

Hook your tablet up to your computer, via a USB cable (preferably the USB cable that originally shipped with your tablet)...

And run...

fastboot devices

This should return a SERIAL NUMBER, indicating you have a FASTBOOT connection, and you can then run whatever FASTBOOT commands you like... including what is in the FLASH-ALL script in the FACTORY STOCK image for your specific device.

Rgrds,
