I have had no issues with my phone so far, but just recently I noticed if I have vibrate on Max it will buzz. Used to not do this and I have re flashed my rom and it still buzzes. I have taken off the back cover as well as the case to see if the vibration is coming from either of those which it does not seem to matter if it is on or off. If I turn the vibration down 1 notch, it obviously vibrates less and it does not buzz. If anything I think that it would be covered under the Samsung warranty, as is hardware failure if I determine that it is not software. Has anybody else had a similar problem? It's kind of annoying that I have to turn down the vibration. The phone is ssolid otherwise. Has anybody had experience with Samsung customer service and how willing are they to fix something like this if at all?

Why go thru samsung? Call verizon and tell em its making a really bad vibration noise and they will next day air you a replacement. Or just tell em its randomly rebooting and you have done a factory reset already
Really? I don't have insurance. Does that matter? My phone is great as it is. How are vzw's referbs?
The first year you have a manufacturer warranty that verizon handles for you

I wouldn't say they're great. Got my gnex replaced with an s3 and this thing has a faulty backlight. Gotta try to wake it up like 50 times before it kicks on. I might just be unlucky with phones though lol.

If I send in for a refurb, can I still unlock the BL?
Yup, they should still come with 4.0.4 out of the box. If not, you can just odin back to 4.0.4 and unlock and all that. About to get my replacement any minute.

The refurbs are visually okay so it wouldnt be dinged/scratched. The internals who knows what they do to "refurbish" them. My last refurb only has 1 issue, the back cover wont click in all the way on the corner so its not flush. Kind of annoying but I knew I would get use to it. If your refurb phone has a scratch or ding just call em up and have em send another, which they will.
Also if you replace your phone I would odin back to the G7 build and then take a ota. That way you wont have that stupid custom icon on boot. Also make sure you havent tripped ur flash counter, you can see that in download mode. If it is then search triangle away on the fourms (its free for xda members) and run it to reset the counter THEN odin to a stock image.
What do you mean I'll see it at the bootloade r? I didn't see anything there that indicated it had been tampered with

So today i was using my Skyrocket which was running Cm9 Alpha 2a. Everything was fine and then i put it in my pocket. i take it out and the lock screen is frozen. I then reboot the phone like ive done before, but this time it got to the second Samsung logo and then shut off and kept vibrating. i've gotten into download mode but it shuts off. Anything that i can do to return to stock?
UPDATE:
So I decided to take a chance and visit the AT&T device support center near me. I "forgot" to mention that my phone was rooted and using a custom rom. She came back, laughed and then told me I shouldn't be rooting my phone. She told me she would return my phone to stock. About 10 minutes later I had my phone up and running. I lost root and all of mms but it saved me some money. So my advice; if you're still under warranty,go to a Device support center if you believe you're bricked. More then likely they will love to help you.
If one plugs into computer in dl mode will it stay on

Agreed. All she did was Odin back a stock tar however.
As a side note was this "she" hot? Attractive female tech geeks are a real turn on... just sayin
Honestly idk what she did to get it to turn on. i swear i tried everything, except the Jig because i didnt have one. But yeah she was hot, she had some junk in her trunk. people still say that right? right?
Yeah I'm going to go under the assumption that the odds are much greater that I WON'T find someone who also mods their phone and thus will need to ODIN before I head to the store. I'm still having some battery issues and I want to get a replacement but I know that if they take one look at my phone they'll be able to tell in about 2 seconds that I'm not on stock.

I think I may have bricked my phone. I was trying to download a game but it said I was out of room. I decided to delete some music to free some space. I opened Fx and deleted some of my music and my phone turned off. Now I can't get it to respond by holding down the power button. I've tried 'adb devices' and it won't list my phone and Device Manager says "QHUSB_DLOAD." I have a custom recovery and am running TrickDroid... anyone have any ideas or am I screwed?
You cannot brick a device with deleting music.
Did your battery run out of juice? Do you have CWM recovery?
Because CWM with dead battery is bad news for some.

I just want to say that it is possible for a phone to just die. Entering QHUSB_DLOAD spontaneously is bad news and I would think it's some kind of hardware/software fault. Your best bet is try to exchange it at t-mobile, and if they won't take it warranty it to HTC.
I didn't tell tmobile I was rooted because I don't think it had anything to do with it. I just told them what I was doing( deleting files) and that it just turned off and wouldn't turn on. They walked me through their steps to try to fix it. After a while they warranty swap it

I bought it the day it was released. I took it to the same store I bought it from. The lady tried to turn it on and couldn't, then plugged it in and saw the LED wouldn't turn on. It was near closing and she didn't seem too interested in continuing to troubleshoot so she sent typed a few things in her computer and told me I would get a replacement on Friday. I just need to put the defective phone in the box the new one came in and send it back.
I do have insurance on the phone and was glad I didn't need to use it. Hopefully there are no issues going forward. I'm not sure if I'm going to hack it again... Jelly Bean is tempting though...
I've had this same problem also was using trickdroid rom
Is there any way around warranty exchanging it. I don't want to lose info on my phone or trust it to a random employee.
If your led light doesn't turn on I'm pretty sure there's no way to get your stuff back. They will send you a completely new phone. It's what T-Mobile did for me anyway

The display went dark as if rebooting but never came back on. Since that moment I can't get the phone to power up at all. I can't get into recovery or download mode. The screen doesn't seem to even try to come on. The phone acts as if it has no battery installed even though the battery is there.
Anyone have any suggestions or do I have a legit brick?

Could be a major detail that some might overlook. That'd for sure do it. I got rid of my OG few weeks ago n I'm still stock so I wouldn't know this, but doesn't the process only take like 10 seconds if that? The actual flashing that's taking place. So it'd have to be quite the odds to lose juice in the middle of flashing. But wouldn't it be charging if its plugged in usb? I hope that my man who posted this gets it powered back up. Would be a major bummer otherwise.

Yes I have tried it without the battery. Right now I'm letting it sit without any battery or power to it to allow all components to discharge. I'll try it again in a couple of minutes.

Just to make sure you read and followed all steps right? This one seemed crucial
**** IF YOU HAVE ANY PROGRAMS THAT SYNC WITH YOUR PHONE THEY NEED TO BE UNINSTALLED OR NOT RUNNING BECAUSE THEY CAN CAUSE BRICKS, Pdanet, easytether, droid explorer, kies, etc., etc., on down the line. I repeat if you have a program on your computer that syncs with your phone, it is NOT COOL TO HAVE THAT RUNNING! ****
Just trying to narrow down what the hell could cause the device not to power back up, also how long did you leave the device plugged before disconnecting or pulling the battery. Did oden stop responding or say anything other then rebooting ?

I had this happen on an HTC phone one-time. No joke, but to fix it, I think it ended up holding down power + volume down or up and then put the battery in. I tried a bunch of combinations like that until it booted. Same thing when taking the battery out. Does the red light show when the phone is plugged in?
my one x started going crazy yesterday, pressing its own buttons and what not. i rebooted and it stopped. now today its doing it again and it wont stop no matter what. i tried nandroid, factory resetting. can i use kennethpenns stock 1.85 update tool to go back stock in case i have to send it in? how does that work? does anyone have any advice?
is it the capacitive buttons? do you have a really tight case on the phone by any chance?
no gunny, phones naked and has never been dropped or seen water... havent really flashed anything in the last 5-6 days... its throughout the system... even happens in twrp, no matter what rom im using.... when i get home ill try to get an official update and see what happens... but i did notice its mainly in one spot, mainly middle right of the screen... example would be in the calculator app in portrait, it keeps pressing the number 6

I think the guy doesn't want to open his phone because he might mess up and not be able to put it back. I think.
If the guy wants to open the phone here it is.

So you mean there are people so uncoordinated they can't pull out 6 screws and use something thin to pop the case.
If they wanna pay cool but its really an easy fix. Just blows my mind people will take the risk to root but won't bother with anything else.

Yeah I'm sorry I got a little cold and I'm a little tired.
On a second thought, relating to the op, where is the guy? We're talking about a solution to a guy that isn't even here.
If the op does ever come back I posted some info on apps to get around a stuck power button

I know when I had power button issues it wasn't stuck or dirty cuz I pulled it apart and cleaned the hell out of it and nothing. Turned out parts in the button was bad. Then someone at samsung screwed it up and didn't do well at his/her saughtering class cuz the next day it went haywire and wouldn't turn on. Had to send it back and yell at some Indians that wouldn't listen to me on the phone on customer service.
