So I got a refurb today and I'm in a bad spot. It came with Froyo and absolutely horrible screen bleeding which my original G2X doesn't have at all. Been loading it up and using it a lot and I immediately noticed that the phone hasn't heated up at all or definitely not as much as my original G2X. Not sure if that means this one might be stable but now I'd have to give up a perfect screen for possible stability.
What would you do?

I am in the same boat. Just got mine yesterday and it's a refurb. My last one heated up and had NO screen bleed either. This refurb has terrible screen bleed. I am going to be calling them demanding a new one. It's completely unacceptable that they try and give a refurbished phone to replace a 2 month old brand new one. Otherwise I want my $500 back.
Screen bleed us least of your worries.. Keep this one.

Yeah I can look past it as long as the phone is otherwise stable.

Got my wife a free one in the way. I'm taking it if the bleed is less then nothing. As long as there are no other issues that is....
What would be amazing is if only the devices that had bleed had no other problems. My original one had zero bleed but lots of issues. Who knows.

Mine has slight light bleed. Not big deal, For the most part the phone was pretty stable.

I just requested another replacement - the bleed on the refurb is atrocious and it also just froze up. Thinking it might be app related but trying to push T-Mobile for a new replacement. They are sending one for Monday but can't guarantee it will be new but they requested it.
So I'll have 3 G2X in my possession on Monday before 2 go back.
Any chance you'd show us a pic of the screen bleed? I just want to compare really.

I looked in the xda glossary for screen bleed, but nada. So (here comes the noob question) what is screen bleed? I am probably in the same boat as some others - I'll gladly take a stable G2X with screen bleed. My wife and I don't game or watch video.

did you drop your phone? cuz many of us around the xt720 xda sub forums got these dead pixels a while after we dropped our phone onto the floor. the only way is to send the phone back to the service centre if you still have your warranty. they will replace the lcd for you.
look at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1144956
the bottom part of my screen is a little bit lifted..anyone else have this problem...any fixes? thanks

Mine's been doing this since the first week I had it (2 weeks after release). I can say it hasn't gotten any worse - in some light I can see the dust that's built up under that part of the screen though.
Here is a thread already on this topic.

My local at&t store has these in stock. Best buy has no eta; since i got mine at best buy i have a week left to return it. Just wondering if anyone else has gotten their hands on one and what's your thought?

I just picked mine up. After the android update, my camera went wonky and I had to exchange for a second time. Unfortunately, I ended up with another sh*tty screen after finding a decent one. Decided to wait until today and try the white or return altogether (getting a decent screen is a crapshoot). Guys, there are zero blobs on this screen, it seems crisper and lines are a non-issue...it is nearly perfect! I have to wonder if Samsung addressed the obvious issues with the white version. If you are still within your 30 days and having screen issues, I HIGHLY suggest trying the white version. I finally feel like I got my money's worth and have zero regrets about this phone.

I wish I had screenshots of the screen prior to the exchange but I do not, sorry, but just review the pics that other members have posted and you will get the idea. I have attached 3 screenshots from the new white version. On the phone I had prior to the exchange, the black background showed hideous blobs and blotches all over the screen but as you can see, the same exact black background shows zero blotches (on the lowest or highest brightness). Everythings looks so much richer and crisper on this one, imho...FYI, my screen is on a fairly low brightness setting.
to bad i dont know when i bought my phone.....or i would take it back to get the white one if they fixed the screen
just confirmed with BB that they will not carry the white version. Guess I have to keep my black one then

I actually went to ATT to get the HTC Vivid, but I was really disappointed with it. After talking to a very nice and intelligent sales rep, I decided to get the Skyrocket instead. When he went to get one from storage he realized that there were no black ones left. He told me that if we came back tomorrow (today) I could get a white one. His manager overhead the discussion and said "hold on". She walked back got a white one and told my sales rep he could sell it to me. I was very impressed with the level of service I received and I'm really happy with this phone. The white model is stunning IMO.

The White SR is great. The chrome trim and the chrome speaker grill adds some class.

Damn I have 2 days to swap it. Hurry up BB.
Can someone confirm that there isn't any lines/blobs in this version please?
Ive been waiting for my skyrocket for 3 weeks now. Now I'm getting the white one hopefully today. Since they just came out yesterday. I finally get to have a new phone after using the captivate for a full year .
Was also able to return my black GS2 Skyrocket for a white one yesterday!! It feels smoother, the chrome lining does make it look nice, and under close inspection I could still see some vertical lining, but its less apparent than it was on the older gs2.
Maybe they did fix it, or I'm not seeing it. Then again it never really bothered me in the first place so I'm not entirely sure...
