Not a bad batch. the small reflective dots are part of the digitizer that registers touch input. On some devices it may be harder to see, but I assure you, they are there. I noticed them on both my Milestone and Nexus One.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] argentumomaha:
I think that there are two kinds of capacitive screens. I had to return the first GTab bought in November because the micro SD card slot was not working. That one did not have any lines or dots. When I received the replacement one in January, I noticed the dots immediately. But well.. this one can keep the micro sd card in it's place!!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scott21:
Has anyone noticed visible dots when the screen is on? I just got a replacement gtab and noticed the dots on a white background. They are shimmering dots - similar to when dust is on the screen...

Perhaps a screen protector would help? I saw the grid when the tablet was off on my old one too... but never when it was on like this...
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arczangel:
yes, i can still see them, when the screen is ON, so whats the update here?

If Microsoft was boasting how great Windows Phone 7 is gonna be compared to BB and Android...why are they offering a FREE Xbox 360 game with a purchase of ANY Windows Phone 7???

[Epic 4G General] 1greek4u:
Ok so I'm having issues with a black screen on wakeup. The phone's still on and it's sleeping but hitting the power button won't bring up the lockscreen, so I have to pull the battery and restart the phone.

I'm on DK28 and I was running Mammon's Bonzai ROM. I thought the issue was ROM related so I flashed the previous version of it, but same issues. Continuing to think it was ROM related I flashed Nebula ROM. Same thing.

Could this be caused by LauncherPro? It's the only constant between all the ROMs I've flashed because it's one of the first things I load up. Could it be any other apps that I have loaded on the phone?

Any help would be much appreciated.
[Epic 4G General] 1greek4u:
So I uninstalled LauncherPro but it seems I'm having the same issue.

I'm out of ideas.
[Epic 4G General] alfiej:
it's got to be a dk28 bug because I was having that problem as well from a fresh dk28 install. It also happens sometimes on the roms i mess around with. (dk28)
[Epic 4G General] 1greek4u:
I've done some playing around and come to see that I can turn the screen on and off as many times as I want when I first load up. The issue doesn't begin until gmail backs up all my apps and I set up my phone the way I like to have it. So I know it's definitely application related.

I'm starting to have an inkling that it's being caused by Taskkiller. I remember someone posting something about not using task killers with Froyo but I can't recall where or the reasons why. I'll try not running task killer for a while and see if this might be the cause.... if this doesn't fix it I have no idea what to do...
[Nexus S Accessories] Zorachus:
I bought the Platinum Case when getting my Nexus-S at Best Buy Mobile yesterday, hate to drop it on first week, and have a damaged nexy. After having it for a day, I was like man, this phone feels very crappy, quality wise, like loose and shaky.

So for the hell of it I took the case off. WOW !!! Very nice phone was hiding under all that plastics, the naked Nexus-S feels very solid and well put together. It was the case that made it feel ****ty.

I still have her in the case while working, will just take it off at night when at home. But would like an Otterbox "Impact" series, slim and tight rubber case. It's these 2 pc connected type cases that sound and feel loose and crappy.

+1 for gel or silicone case. i have a black silicone zenus case on my vibrant and absolutely love it (and i've dropped my vibrant twice since owning it). I made the mistake of buying different cases (leather, rubberized crystal, etc) and never end up taking the zenus one off. and anything outside of a gel skin adds unflattering weight and thickness to these very sleek, thin phones. i emailed a zenus seller today to see if they were aware of any nexus s cases on the horizon.
[Nexus S Accessories] Rayman0625:
I sent an email to Case-Mate to see if they'll be making a case for the NS. Hopefully I get a response soon.

This is a great case. I have one of the hybrids, a plain TPU, and the TMo rubber case. I switch between them, but the hybrid is the best all-arounder.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

I hate cases. To me, putting a case on a phone like this is like bringing home a beautiful, sexy woman and then putting a fat girl suit on her.

I just returned mine as well. That case was not worth anything near 35 dollars. I'm using my hacked up nexus one sleeve now and it works great.
[Nexus S Accessories] escea:
I prefer a naked phone and not being a dumb ass and dropping it.
[Nexus S Accessories] azn2050:
I prefer it too, but theres those times where you get bumped on the streets walking while checking your phone (email, text, web) and it causes you to drop your phone.

I also see a lot of people referring to a "platinum case" from best buy... but im looking it over and unsure which one they are talking about bc both use the word platinum.

I like this one alot if only it wasnt purple.

Unfortunatly if it get stolen or lost, then you get no insurance. Make sure to read the small print of what is and isn't covered. (I heard other people mentioning full water immersion isn't covered)

[Desire HD General] MadeInRu:
Good time of the day every one.

Since 1 week i'm a proud owner of HDH phone, and since it's my first android phone i would like to give you all my impression of it.

Build quality:

Plus points:

Design - Is simple and refined, no unnecessary fancy stuff like on EVO 4G. (Personal opinion)

Materials - Nothing negative to say here either. Sim cover isn't that great, but that's more of workmanship issue then material quality.

Minus points:

Fitting - As with sim cover, yet to be desired. Definitely not a 550 euro finish.

Camera - My good old Nokia N96 makes a better pictures. You can do some stuff with configurations to improve it, but never the less it's another proof that pure image definition alone doesn't makes a good photos.

Speaker - Hmmmm.... is crap a proper word in this case?

Screen - I like it allot, sure it's not the highest definition on the market, neither does it has the brightest colours. But it's big and very nice to use. Of course bigger doesn't makes it better, but i'm not to picky about those things. I do have bigger then average hands so size it's not an issue for me.

Audio playback - I like sound and always use superb quality headphones. So i'll stick with my SONY in any case. Very average, but that goes for any phone, even iphone 4 as it uses the same audio chip as the latest ipod touch or classic. For causal user it will be just fine, but for people who like good quality it will be not quiet poor to be honest.

What's very strange, no matter the quality of individual components, the whole package just feels right. A magic is at work here ;)

Android:

Well, i never used it before, and to be honest i was amazed at what you can do with it. I'm not an advanced user yet, and there are still many things to learn, but it's truly is amazing system from what i saw so far. Of course there are minuses, but which Os doesn't have them?

Battery:

Well, it's not gonna blow your mind off, For me it's good enough for 2 days. Average use, bit more then 2 hrs screen time, some games and internet.

But that goes for all smartphones on the market i assume, at least with stock batteries.

I've made some some noob themes for my phone, nothing to fancy. I still can't make any screenshots from my phone so i just added them as png files.

Best regards,

Jev.

[Vibrant General] XPLANE9:
So my galaxy s has some earpiece issues with the voume as almost inaudible and I got a replacement. Problem is, Tmobile is having me send the phone in first before they send the replacement becuase I am prepaid. Anyone has ideas on how to get tmobile to send the replacement first? I d not want a faulty replacement that is even crappier and have to pay double shipping charges.
[Vibrant General] YatimaMeiji:
1) More then likely nope, you're stuck

2) Cry/beg/*****/moan to the CSR and see if they take pity

3) Try the Electronic Executive Carpet Bomb. Basically you email every email of everyone you can get a hold of in the executive customer service and write a very nice and sincere letter. You just might get a response to your liking. This worked for me and I was able to get a Vibrant to replace my Behold II. Go read The Consumerist to find out more about the EECB.
[Vibrant General] mmalott:
Probaly not. I dont think the ear piece problem is normal any ways so you shouldn't have to worry about it.
[Vibrant General] merwin:
Sign up for a regular account, switch your imei to that one, then do the replacement. With a prepaid, they have no guarantees, and it would be bad business for them to send you one first.

The whole appeal behind prepaid is that there is no credit check or deposit.
[Vibrant General] demo23019:

i dont knoe if this help i said my charging port doest work anymore so they fill out the replacement forum and they sent the replacement first
[Vibrant General] Telanis:
lol you think they're going to let you run off with a free phone? FAIL
[Vibrant General] boystuff:
Your pre pay. They won't give in. atleast on a contact they can issue credit reports if you run off with the phone. Your only bet is to borrow a friends old hand me down. Mail in your vibrant and wait. Be happy there atleast offering you a warranty exchange on flexpay. Usually you buy the phone full price and any warranty issues are through the manufacturer.
[Vibrant General] XPLANE9:
do you not understand?

I am not going to run off with a free phone since they can still charge my account for the new phone. And again, why would I run off with a broken phone that can barely make phone calls anyways? Think before post next time @ Telanis. The person who fails is you who thinks tmobile cannot just charge my account again. FAIL.
[Vibrant General] rsfaze:
the ONLY way companies will cross ship things is if they have your credit card on file. Sure they can charge your account for a device but what happens when you don't pay?

I've had many electronics cross shipped, it normally requires talking to a manager and ALWAYS requires a credit card on file. If you are not willing to do this, then you have to deal with their ship first policy.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
Say that from the perspective of a multi million dollar company.

They don't want some random kid running off with their phone.

What does a drunk guy say when he gets pulled over in the highway? "I wasn't drinking I swear!"

thieves make promises they can't keep and that's why companies don't just give a new phone before getting old one.

Think before YOU post next time.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theinternot:
My rooted MT4G started constantly locking up for no apparent reason a few days ago (although I have noticed it occurs a lot when downloading). Everything is fine, then the screen locks up, no buttons are responsive, and it never goes to sleep. Battery pull everytime.

It has happened with the Desire HD ROM, CyanogenMod 6.1, ICE Glacier... I have done wipes, re-installs, permission fixes and it keeps happening.

Not sure what to do... I am out of remorse period and didn't get the insurance. I hope my phone isn't totally borked.

Gonna do a complete restore and see what happens, but if that doesn't work is there something that I am missing? If this phone takes a dump on me, I am pretty much screwed... should have got the damn insurance.:mad:

Is anyone else experiencing this? Have you found the cause? Is there a fix?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shlongwoodian:
I can say that rooting your phone via the steps outlined in this post, won't on their own, 'cause the phone to freeze up.

I'm running the stock ROM and the ONLY non-standard issue thing I've done to any of the 6 MT4G's in my possession, is root them via the post above. So I feel pretty confident that rooting your phone isn't the cause of the issue.

The different ROMs though, the processes in installing them etc. I cannot vouch for. Maybe someone else will be able to verify your steps, but I wanted to post my two cents and clarify root vs. everything else.

Hey guys I'm new to rooting and ran into an issue today and can't figure out how to fix it. I rooted my evo last week with unvevoked without any problems. Today I installed Cyanogen 6.1.1 and followed the directions exactly as posted on the Cyanogen wiki page (HTC Evo 4G: Full Update Guide - CyanogenMod Wiki). I did a Nandroid backup before starting the installation and on directly after it was finished. After playing around with it for a while I decided I wanted to restore my phone back to how it was before. When I tried to restore back to the point before the Cyanogen install it gives me an error saying "error while flashing boot image". It gives me this error for any restore point I try except for the newest one. Can somebody please help.
[EVO 4G General] jrotert:
Are you using Amon Ra or Clockwork?

I know one of the above recoveries (maybe both?) will not restore if you changed the name of the b/u file. The name change makes file fail Md5 check sum.
[EVO 4G General] jrotert:
Follow up

If you didn't change file name, and it still fails, it probably means the backup was corrupt for whatever reason. It is always a good idea to verify the backup B4 flashing different ROM.

Maybe some of the more learned members here have some input as to how to deal with a corrupt b/u file.
[EVO 4G General] aph:
It can error out for any number of reasons like low battery. Does it give you a command line to use? If so run adb shell and use that command line so you can see what the actual reason for the error is

I haven't run cm in a while, and I'm on the phone so I can't check, but if the installation steps to installing cm still requires the installation of a specific version of hboot, that's your problem. You can only restore a backup using the same version of hboot that you had when you made the backup. You need to reinstall the hboot version you had when you made the backup.

It has to do with hboot version. I don't remember how it works . But I had the exact same problem and was able to solve it and I am now able to go hack and forth between Cm6 and stock via nandroid. I discussed this in several of my threads, one of them has all of the specifics and solution.

Let me know if that helped.
[EVO 4G General] bjb_nyj101:
I had this problem too; When I would certain roms (Fresh, for example), I would put a space in the name (i.e. "Fresh 3.3.x.x). For cyanogen, I always combined them ("cm6.1.x").

When you rename, make sure that you don't put any spaces.
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
Open up your nandroid folders and check to see if the file sizes are the same between your older backups and the new one. I ran into a similar problem with the boot.img where one was larger than the other.
