Hehe I misread this part at first as you saying there are water damage spots on the phone. In your final advertisement you might want to reword that a bit. Maybe say something like, "The test strips that are used to indicate water damage show that there is no water damage."

Or just don't mention it at all lol. When you're selling a car you don't put "Never been flooded!" in the ad. Just raises suspicion.

Odd, I cant seem too PM you. I would be interested. Let me know
Keep the pics of the litmus strips. I bought five phones off craigslist and ebay. If someone went to trouble to prove to me that there were no problems with the phone, I paid more for those than ones with a few pics and little description.
When selling on the internet, the more pics you have the better. A person buys something in the store after holding it and thoroughly looking into it. Tutu have to recreate that. Be honest and show it all.
From a phone
Well feel free to pass this on to anyone you know that may be interested. Like I said, I can get more pics if needed. As soon as I have enough posts, I'll put a thread in the marketplace as well.
Case is no longer with the phone. Still not enough posts to get into the marketplace.
Hmmmm, I could use a developing phone?

I got my tab back from RMA (doa) they replaced the screen and there is now a speck between the screen and glass... I can live with the light bleed but this speck is frikin annoying Its not a dead pixel with the device off it is clearly seen under the glass... HELP i am sooo annoyed and I dont want to rma again! How do you take this thing apart?
Thanks!
You don't want to risk taking the thing apart. If you **** it up it's your fault and Asus will NOT give you free warranty service after the fact.
If you can't live with it you have to call Asus and tell them you want them to fix this. They'll probably tell you to prove that they did this by taking a picture of something that's impossible to take a picture of.
Good luck. Another casualty of ****ty Asus QC and an even ****tier RMA service.

I don't hate the TF, I do hate the way service is handled. Your whole post and your line of reasoning is so ****ing flawed it makes me embarassed just to see how embarassing you are. A case of serious contact embarassment. I should sell the TF and I must hate it because I hate how Asus runs things and I hate their QC? Are you stupid or just deficient?
By the way, ****ting on threads would be like what you're doing, making a moronic post that doesn't even begin to answer the OP on a thread, instead you sidetrack the whole discussion. Great job you selfish asshole. I don't "**** on" threads, I tell it like it is. I don't lie about the RMA process or QC, it's the truth (in less than flattering terms) and it's relevant to the OP. Next time you want to send me a love letter go do it by PM instead of hijacking another persons thread.

You can unroot it and "preserve" that warranty. This isn't really a good reason to go ahead and rip through it.

Sounds good until you miss a clip and break it. It doesn't really matter how good you or your fam is at doing this. There's a chance for anything to break especially when you're dealing with a particular device you haven't had any experience disassembling before.

There was a disassembly thread somewhere here that shows a minor teardown. Do a google search for it. Although I'm not sure it goes as far as the screen and glass. In addition you have no way to guarantee that you won't introduce more dust since I doubt you own a clean room. I highly advise you contact Asus first, you don't want to do this. There are too many risks that outweigh removing a stupid fleck from between the screen and glass. You'll end up breaking clips that hold the back to the bezel and then you finish up the job, fire the unit up and FUUUUUUUUUUU there are eight huge pieces of dust under the screen. Oops.
My I noticed a spec of dust last night on my TF and concur that its driving me crazy! Would asus' warranty cover something like this?

Looks staged to me. I have been doing SMT and hand soldering for years and it looks like someone took a iron and some soldier to it. I doubt that it got hot enough to melt soldier on its own even if it did catch fire that kinda heat would have done way more damage to the phone.
We were just talking about this in another thread, and I hate to be repetitive, but if you Google "<insert name of phone/manufacturer for just about any device> bursts into flames", you will get a ton of hits. Happens to iPhones all the time, and it's even happened to a few Skyrocket owners.

It's completely staged.
There are no internals anywhere near that spot that could have burned the plastic.
And the day right before the US launch?
I'd say it's Apple approved.

My thoughts exactly there is nothing that is going to get as hot as 728 degrees Fahrenheit in that area. The battery may be able to put out that kinda temps, maybe but that is further up in the phone, and other parts of the phone would have been damaged first not just the very bottom of it.

agreed...and a casing like it has would be cracked and melted in more than one place...especially if its like our phones with the cpu in the top
Lol, they'll do everything to ruin the launch of this phone. Sad.
I wonder if they were playing Draw Something. It will cause the phone to stay on and it to run hot. My phone got extremely hot one time doing this. I didn't notice it for a while because I was walking around. I sat down and the phone got pushed up against my leg.. That's when I noticed. Combine that with an over clocked/volted cpu and you have a fire waiting to happen.
I would like to know if his phone has been overclocked first off..

No need to apologize, my post came off wrong. I wasn't calling you out for a duplicate thread, I don't think there was one -- it was an off-topic discussion we were having in another thread. I just didn't want to go straight from that post to this one posting the same thing.
And yeah, that would suck. I'd rather have it happen to my face than have it go off in my pocket and burn my junk though...
Seriously though.. a bad lithium battery could cause that.
We all walk around with bombs in our pockets. That's why the laptop comes out of the bag at airports.

The battery is nowhere near that section of the phone.
Totally staged.
If you look at the iFixit tear down, there is nothing in that area of the phone to get hot and catch on fire.
I have highlighted the area in question from the tear down pics.
It's just PCB board with no components in that area.

i've owned more touch screen phones than I can count. None of them ended up with broken screens. My first sk4g screen cracked in my empty pocket and my second ones screen went complete fuzzy while browsing never to work again. The screen clearly isn't mean to last.

Wow, I lol'd
I was rather dissappointed when I learned this phone would not include Gorilla Glass or even any type of fancy glass so as to protect it from breaking.
That being said, however, it's not difficult to purchase a case/protector on Amazon. Hell, I just bought 4 for less than $30.
I think this posted thread is completely useless, and could have easily just been a unwanted, uncared for and opinionative comment on a post that definitly already exists.
I also think the post should be moderated and removed.
As for your phone, either you have bad luck or need to care for your belongings better.

Where do people get the idea that gorilla glass is indestructible? If you apply focused pressure on a small area, it will indeed break. It is not magical.

Nope, never seen this before -- I do have some "fluid-like" sheen when ushing on the screen with some force (especially on lighter backgrounds), but that can only be seen with the unit turned on.
Off-topic: I would like to request you to not double-post. It is generally frowned upon -- not only because it clutters the forum but since it splits up the answers to your question in two different places. That makes it harder to see what has been taken up and what is let to b answered and/or amended. Just ask once, and if we know the answer or can help out in some other fashion, we'll get in here.

ok, as odd as it may sound, I'm pretty ocd.
so I got a black 32gb s4 from AT&T, for some reason it shipped with a box for the white version (white band around the middle)
as everyone knows, 32gb for ATT only comes in black.
Anywho it bothers me enough that I'll buy someone's empty box, if you are gonna throw it away.
Has to be from a Black AT&T S4 and in Mint condition.
I'll throw $15 your way + 1st class mail shipping costs from you to me.
Let me know guys lol.
btw I'm totally serious and not trolling lol.

I live with moderate OCD so i know the feel, but this is a bit tooooo extreme. I don't see the problem though, just take off your imei sticker and get $15 free dolla, provided you don't need it anymore.
