Hey everyone this is my first thread on xda and i was hoping if you guys could help me out. So i bought a Nexus S about 2 weeks ago.. the phones great. However, i have noticed 2 red dots on the screen- one close to the top of it, and one around the middle. They are very very small, you have to literally be a couple centimetres away from the phone to see it. I tried a pixel fixing app but that didnt work... Also i went to my carrier (wind mobile) and told them about the issue... they said the best they could do is give me a refurbished phone. I also called up samsung and they said they would give a refurbished as well. Now my question is... is there any way to fix this? If not, should i just get the refurbished phone? And shouldn't they offer me a brand new phone instead of a refurbished one? Please help! Thanks in advance.
i would just stay at least 2.75 inches away from your screen when your looking at it. just messing that would drive me crazy too. But too me it sounds like a hardware issue that probably cant be resolved with software. If its something you cant live with probably going to have to go with the refurb
That blows that when we buy brand new phones they offer us refurbished ones. It's bull**** actually.

If your only two weeks in I don't see on what grounds they refused to give u a new one. Nuke it and turn it in.

Should be able to exchange for a new phone if you are only 2 weeks in. Check the return policy.

Typically, the refurbs are like brand new. They have all the plastic stickers on and everything. While it sucks, it's better than being stuck with bad pixels.
.
So i went back to the wind store today... and since the stuck pixel was very small, they couldnt really do anything... However, they told me that if the phone's lcd gets worse they will replace it. Sounds like a good deal right? The pixel doesnt really bother me much... But what do u guys think?
That would be fine by me too. No need to start war for small, mostly cosmetic issues. Good for you! I think in matter of few weeks, you don't even notice it..

Hi!
I'm from Italy and...I've exactly the same problem!!!
2 red dots on screen, very very small on my new Nexus S (bought 2 weeks ago).
So, I decided to keep it at home! I don't want refurbished phone!
So, every day I watch if other red dots appear, I hope NO!

It's rare that more stuck pixels would appear out of nowhere. I'm sure you'll be fine.
With in the first 14 days you get a brand new phone, 15 days and up you get a refurbished. Now what most people don't know is a refurbished phone is not how they used to be back in the days (a used phone just cleaned up) now a days refurbished is a phone someone had but sent back due to them not liking it or it being the wrong phone. 9 out of 10 times the refurbished phone that you get has never been used or used for a less then a full day. When I worked for tier 2 tech for sprint the refurbished phones we sent out were phone someone ordered but got the wrong one. Say you ordered a Nexus S and we shipped you an Evo 3D, even though you never even powered on that 3D, it is now a refurbished phone. Sorry for the long post and my spelling grammar, but I been up for the past 32 hours at the hospital with my son and could really care less to spell and grammar check right now =/

Holey moley what a day. I took my HTC inspire in to the att corp store nearby becaause it was having some call disconnect issues and some random problems with the digitizer. Long story short I walked out with the Atrix 2 and my upgrade in January still intact. Never owned a Moto phone before so here I am in Noob land again.
Congrats on the new phone and you got one heck of a deal! Who knows what the next best phone is gonna be as fast as they have been rolling out lately and with LTE just getting up and running you got a nice deal being able to keep your upgrade
I had the store manager and the sales guy both arguing with warranty support on the phone. I still had to BUY the atrix 2 for 99 bucks but I keep my upgrade and can send the inspire off to htc for repair. I'll sell it when I get it back.
You should have made them price match Best Buy at 49.99! But im sure you can make it back and then some selling the inspire on ebay. Enjoy your new phone!
When I went in I hadn't intended to buy a phone. I did not do any pricing research
:-(
Even at $100, you got a nice device.

The dev types seem to be making good progress. You'll have it back soon enough.
I managed to get a similar deal but I traded in both of my inspire 4g's for atrix 2's.
No charge, nothing added to my contract and my upgrade is still there in FEB.
I was legitimately having issues with dropped calls on my inspire and the atrix seems to have fixed the issue.
The hell I had to raise was EPIC. I'm going out of town and needed a working phone ASAP. The idiots at the 800 number wouldn't swap my phone for me for another 2 weeks, totally unacceptable. Me, the sales rep I was working with in the store, and teh nanager spent about an HOUR all together on the phone.
I ended up getting very frustrated, saying I was in the ATT corp store and would just cancel my acct. I hung up. 5 minutes later they called back and made me the offer.
My experience was the complete opposite. I had a very nice conversation with manager about dropped calls and my problems with the inspire. He offered to switch me into the ATRIX2

Hey gunnyman
Looks like we are both on the same phone again. I just came over from the Galaxy S2.... had too many HW problems with it and so I decided to try something different. So for I really do like the feel of the Atrix 2 and the speed is pretty much on par with the Galaxy S2. One thing I am missing is the ROMs...... lol.... but I'm sure the will come in time.
Maybe I need to start developing.... who know...
Alright so before you get to caught up in the title, let me explain myself. I have been doing some research on which phones that at&t and sammy would upgrade to ICS, the infuse was not one of them. The Galaxy S II Skyrocket however was one. I promptly looked up the cities that have at&t LTE, I was pleasantly surprised when I saw my city there. I remembered back to when I owned the awful Motorola Backflip. I hated it so much I used the warranty department at at&t to switch the Backflip out three times before being sent an HTC Aria the fourth time. I decided to try this with the infuse and this time the phone they were willing to supply me with was the Galaxy S II Skyrocket. I thought that sharing this may help some of you who want a phone that will definitely receive ICS. If your Infuse is still under warranty, call up at&t give them crap till they send you an infuse (repeat 3 times) and enjoy your skyrocket the 4th time!

I only had to do this one time. I bought a captivate for $1 back in aug 2011. I got bored with it. In Oct I decided to call att and tell them i had all kinds of problems with the captivate and that i did not want another one and asked them what they could do for me besides me cancel my service. She offered me an Atrix or a infuse. I got the infuse and didn't pay anything for it. I just sent my captivate back in once i received my infuse. You don't have to do multiple warranty exchanges, you have to be a good talker.

The warranty department figures it's easier to deal with lying by just giving in sometimes.
Pretty slick lol
So I called them and told them I was having touchscreen issues which is True I have been. They sent me over to At&t warranty to verify my issue, told them I've done a master reset, I've done recovery and everything, They then stated I was in warranty for a replacement so here comes another infuse. lol
Edit: You DO NOT need the account holders last SSC numbers to get a replacement. Tell them you have a question and they'll say sure I can help you with that, tell them your problem and they'll have to deal with helping you. I advice before you do this, you put stock firmware back on your phone, factory reset it before sending it back as well, Don't bother if your phone has physical damage or water damage as there Warranty exchange seems to be very serious and they will charge you $399 which is the total cost of the phone.

They must have changed the whole SSC number deal then, because the last time I filed a warranty claim, mind you this was 4 years ago, they were very persistent about getting that number before they would help me with anything.

OK, sounds good.
I'm seriously considering trying to get a different phone. I love the infuse, but the support base for roms seems to be dropping off quickly.

Once we get an official expect to see better roms, Only a couple weeks till we see it.
Edit: I've been thru this process many times with T-Mobile and getting another phone, Refurbished phones are nothing compared to what you got now thats been used for months, Refurbished phones are phones used 30 days or less from purchase and when there brought back they cannot be sold as "New" anymore. Every refurbished phone I've ever gotten was in the upmost perfect condition.
So what would you do in this situation. Last Friday my touch screen stopped working. I was getting emails, texts, phone calls (could answer on car BT only), etc. Stopped in Verizon(not a repair center), they pulled battery but no go. They ordered my a rplacement. On Saturday, in prep for new phone, I pulled SIM and SD out. Powered up, and the thing works perfect. Strange huh?
With that being said, what would you do? Keep current phone, which I bought brand new, or keep and use replacement? For some reason, I don't want the refurb. The verizon guy did say that they do send out brand new ones that have the same "Like New Certified Replacement" sticker on them. Anyway to tell if its brand new or refurb? It has an 8/8/12 date on it.
I'm not trying to be rude but, can you see any defects with the phone that make you think it's a refurb? Like scuffs or anything?
If not, that as far as you can tell it's new, why does it matter? If it looks exactly like a new phone than it may be new, or a very good condition refurb. Either way it's still an S3 in "new" condition

Someone once said that any 'void warranty' type stickers on a refurb, like they put over the screw heads, are a different color then they ones on a new unit. Not sure if that is true.
It looks like its new. For some reason I feel if its a refurb, it was defective and then fixed and that is worse than my brand new I bought. Although mine seems to be defective as well.

Dude most cln new replacements this early in the game are brand new devices. Verizon has these phones in stock use common sense the phone has been out for around 2 months now millions are out there there are not enough refurbs to replace everyones defective devices. That being said even if it is a true cln device they are usually perfectly acceptable. If you have problems with it swap it for another.

"Bra" here seems to be the authority on this topic...j/k
I guess at the end of the day, if there was a way of knowing what they sent me brand new its a no brainer. It looks like there is no way of really knowing for sure, which is no real big deal. My current phone seems to be working fine since that strange incident, but having it flake out last Friday was a nightmare. Having this for work email when out of the office is critical, so I should really just swap it to avoid the incident again.

So I booted up the phone they sent me, and it says "safe mode" in the lower left corner of the screen. Did some app updates, rebooted and "safe mode" is gone. Any thoughts now on refurb or brand new? I did not boot mine original phone up myself to see if "safe mode" was there on that one. It was done by sales guy at verizon.
Now the new phone is acting really strange. While doing a google backup restore of all my apps, the phone became unresposive. Just did a battery pull, which was required, now working ok.
Could my problem be my sim card? Original problem was resolved when I booted without sim card.
i told you how to check
About 3 weeks ago I got fed up with my ridiculously poor radio and called CS. In the end they sent me a "certified replacement". My certified replacement was 100% certainly a refurb. All the micro antenna covers were missing. The Serial number sticker under battery was two times the size of original and looked like it had been printed on a 1980's dot matrix printer, and best of all, it had exactly ZERO wifi reception, probably the reason it went in in the first place. After fighting with these ignorant A$$hats at CS for another few hours, and being told a software update would repair it, I finally got them to send me another. The CS told me the same BS seen above, about how these aren’t really refurbs yet. I'm guessing the bulk of them aren't, but there sure as heck are some out there, and if mine is any example of their level of technical refurb prowess, then I would be very leery and fully test the device before accepting it as good. I ended up sending them the refurb back in it's same box. Third phone at least worked, seems new, and has marginally better radio so I guess I'm sticking with it.

Last week on Tuesday I decided to get a warranty replacement, now... I'm well aware that these are refurbished phones and that they can be damaged, etc. T-Mobile, however, assures you that they are to appear "Like-new". Well, the device came the next day as promised and what do I see? 10-12 dead pixels and... spotting behind the screen... like WATER DAMAGE! At this point I'm thinking... "Wtf T-Mobile?" So I give 'em a call, they tell me they'll send out another and that they are sorry for the inconvenience... Well, this time Friday rolls around and the delivery comes... I grab the box and get ready to open it with my Partner, jokingly I say to him... "Let's see how messed up this one is!" and I open the box... Well, the second one they sent has a LARGE chunk out of the MAO in the bottom left corner of the device... like it had been dropped. I'm pissed at this point... I call T-Mobile and because it's a defect in the "hardware" I had to take it down to the store to get a rep to verify that the device was damaged (also still in the warranty box they send out) and at this point they take $25 off my bill and offer me yet another warranty replacement!!! UGH!! So, the new one is coming today... If it's messed up I am demanding that they send me a new one. I'm so upset at this point... My device I sent to them to begin with was damn near flawless other than (from what I could tell) software issues.
What do y'all think? I'm starting to believe they don't even perform these so-called "Quality checks"

If I even get one more messed up one I'm gonna make them give me a new One S... I bought this phone, I'm sticking with this phone. They WILL give me a new one. Heh. Also, I came from the GSII... Don't do it... the DPI is weird and everything is HUGE on the screen. Lol. I didn't like it mainly because with the default TouchWiz roms you can't change DPI or the UI is all diff sizes and messed up... Now... On custom CM10 roms, etc you can change DPI and it looks amazing at like 200 DPI or so... but back then the bugs were too much to stay on custom roms.
Went through these with my wifes amaze. I demanded a brand

I don't understand why you are warning people about their warranty...they are doing what they are supposed to be doing. I understand the frustration of having to keep getting a replacement, but at least they are cooperative and doing it. ..sounds like a good warranty to me.

they sent me 4 defective replacement sensation 4g's until i demanded a comperable android replacement... after a couple of other rep's and explaining to them why a nokia lumina is not a comperable device then asking for a supervisor they sent me my One S free of charge, I offered to send my sensation back but they didnt send a box to return it in.... Thats a Win in my book. I did have to call back twice to get them to take the charge for the One S off my bill, which they did
Yea, I've never had an issue with T-Mobile warranty...that's how I got my One S...I had a Sensation, then complained enough, and they upgraded me to the One S at no charge. It might be a pain to go through numerous phones before getting a good one, but you can't beat the fact that they overnight you a phone with just a simple phone call, great service.

Agreed. Doesn't make any sense. You would figure that since he's on XDA, that he'd try to flash a new ROM, reflash the original, etc, to get it back to normal.
Then again, some people are hardcore about not wanting to touch their phone's ROM. I on the other hand, am absolutely disgusted by HTC Sense and all the fancy pants bull**** it has. Simplicity, minimalism, and speed are where it's at.

It stopped saving screenshots (not a big deal) however, it shortly after started saving all photos taken with the camera as 0byte files. NOTHING fixed it. I even put the phone back to S-On and unlocked, re-rooted, redid the S-Off... Nothing helped. Kinda useless if I can't take pictures. I also tried many different roms.
Also, the warning was to say that if you need a replacement... make sure you can deal with going through 4-5 before you get one that is fully intact. The last one they sent me (#3) had the screen popping up out of the device. You could see the button backlights fron the side if you looked at it, got yet another coming tomorrow.
