[Q] AT&T Store Question

Will AT&T allow you to turn on and inspect the One X before purchasing it? I want to make sure it has no dead pixels before I pull the trigger. I have the worst luck with that stuff. From what I've seen in some reviews it has a big sticker covering the screen that says something like "I'm the one you've been waiting for". I wonder if I can take that off and look at the screen before definitely saying "i'll take it".
Also, does the *#0*# screen test work on HTC phones?
Thanks in advance!

I would definitely inspect the unit before I signed the contract or finished my purchase. Would be a bummer to find a stuck pixel right after leaving the store. I'm sure they would exchange, but I would rather find any issues before they had my money.

I already turned on and played around with the one they set aside for me for tomorrow.
Can't wait!

If you ask - yes.
But if there was a defect with it you can just exchange it on the spot anyway.
We can't do that with iphones because they're wrapped in plastic.

Can you exchange a defective phone at any AT&T store, or does it have to be the one you bought it from?
I'm on my 2nd AT&T One X. Both have dead pixels. I was going to live with this one (2 dead pixels) but then I started noticing random dust particles underneath the screen. This is ridiculous.
I'd prefer not to return to the same store because it's only a matter of time before they start getting angry with me for turning all of their One X's into refurbs.
And how many will they allow me to exchange before they say enough is enough? I've gone through 6 monitors before due to dead/stuck pixels, and the new one still has some stuck pixels. I gave up since the new one is nearly perfect. It is my theory that *most* high resolution LCD monitors have at least one pixel defect, because I always seem to find them.
But back to the question... Can I exchange at another AT&T store to prevent angering the managers at the original store?

yeah i dont have a dead pixle but my screen formed a small bubble then chiped off. really annoying.

And what happens if they don't have the phone in stock due to the customs delay? I have limited time to make this exchange so how does that work?

Dunno but those are all very good questions. My screen isn't perfect but I'm not going to risk getting a worse one.

You can exchange at any corporate owned store. If they are out of stock, have them notate your account that you were back within 30 days and have them call you once they are in stock.
EDIT: I worked at AT&T until a couple days ago... this is SOP for when a phone is out of stock and someone needs to do a DOA exchange.

I got mine at best buy mobile..for good insurance and buyback program...but I haven't had any pixel issues...maybe I was just lucky...vivid was flawless too..
So how was att to work for? I'm about to go to work for them...money sounds good but want to know from somebody who has worked there..
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Probably like any other retail job. You have goals to meet and you do anything you need to to meet them. If you don't meet your goals you fix it or you're gone.

I'm on my third. First one had dust. Second one wouldn't charge or sync and now my third has the bottom of the screen light leak. Its like my phones smiles at me.
Got third one yesterday. Gonna call att tomorrow. I wonder if its a 25% chance for a good unit with this phone?

AT&T was a great company to work for. I just wanted to get out of the retail hours. I worked at a mall location, so I'd leave as late as 10:30 some nights. I have a 9 month old and a wife, so that was getting old.
But the benefits are really good... It's a union job, so health insurance is great once you've worked there for over 6 months. I'm talking $120/mo for two people (health, life, vision and dental) and a $500 out-of-pocket max for the year. Last year I made mid-40s, which for the work you do is good money. You just have to deal with quotas and customer surveys and a lame scheduling system. I never had to worry about hitting my targets. Just take care of the customer and focus on what would be best for them and your numbers will follow.

Worry about early batch

Hello
I am seriously considering getting the S4 for delivery on launch.
When i got my HTC One X, it was about a week after launch. The phone had 2 screen bugs (yellow spots and flickering). Even my replacement phone had this problem. Are Samsung known for early batches of new handsets to have these errors?
This is the only thing stopping me from early terminating my contract and going to Three (UK)

I got my SII on the day it was released nearly 2 yrs ago and it worked fine then and it still does to this day. However every phone released uses different hardware so past releases aren't good to go on.
I would get one and if it is genuinely faulty you can get it replaced. If you are worried then hold off and see if any concerns come up on the forums before buying. Also when getting a replacement phone, many people take it back to the same place they bought it and probably get given another phone from the same batch. If possible try a different store, you never know it might be a different batch.

Thanks for your reply, i am unsure as to whether it was just HTC being rubbish, their support team were very secretive about the problem. As it was only a small amount of handsets they didnt seem bothered about fixing it.

HTC being rubbish is definitely a factor . I've bought three Samsung's at release and never had a single issue with handset .

I'd wait a few months and see how many issues people are having.
Maybe wait until it drops down $50 since thats the point where a good number of units have already been in peoples hands.
I never liked being the first person to have something from a cost and reliability perspective.
Some of the higher end car audio gear is known for having issues in the first few production runs and i've learned from that it's wise to be cautious with brand new electronics.

Well its all about luck, there isnt any much difference between ist and 2nd batch. When s3 came, some said the blue one has back cover problem but it wasnt like this.

I got the s3 on launch and it was perfect. I maaaay or may not have bricked it/it died on me but they straight replaced it on warranty no questions asked even with cm10 installed.

Bought two S3s the week they were released and both have been perfect ever since.
But past events don't mean for sure the GS4 will be without problems. Also, comparing any launch with the HTC One X...that was probably the worst phone launch in terms of hardware problems that I've ever seen, so ANYTHING is going to be better than that :laugh:

I know what he was referring to as this is my forth and last HTC one so the irony isn't lost on me . I instructed somebody in HTC one forum a couple of weeks ago on how to change his set up and it was quite a detailed message , did I get a thanks ? Nope . Yet there are a lot of thanks going around these days for not a lot .
To be honest I'm not even sure why I'm moaning , I must be just that bored I guess .

Mostly everyone has a credit card now a days. just make sure you use a premium credit card that will double your manufacturer's warranty. As simple as that.
But if you don't have a premium credit card (not hard to get) then you're out of luck I guess.

Given the issues HTC is having with the One, its no surprise their QC is not holding up. Apple has issues with initial launches and their phones. So far I have not had any issues with the Samsung first batches of phones, they are building 10 million a month of these puppies for global launch unlike Apple who delays launches into different markets.

I bought my SGS2 a month after release and it never had any issues. But my SGS3 bought 1 month after release also had a faulty display (black spots), SDS and some small errors in the hyperglaze on the backcover. Many SGS3 early buyers also had problem with the cracking "metal" bezel.
I think Samsungs QA is taking a hit because of the popularity of the Galaxy phones. I normally never had any issues with their phones unlike HTC which I always had issues with.

I took the plunge and have pre ordered the S4 on Three

Because my visa cash rewards bank of america card doubles the warranty on anything I by? Look into it next time. Don't just blindly respond to something you don't know. A lot of credit cards come with perks and benefits. Roadside assistance, buyers protection, double a warranty to up to a year, etc.

Samsung's phones may generationally look the same which doesn't make everyone happy but there's an advantage. Building the SGS4 isn't much different than building the SGS3 and the N2 that preceded it. There was the occasional bezel not aligned or the home buttons being different heights on those phones but nothing really major. Variances in color temperature of the display is an "AMOLED thing" so I'd expect that to continue to some degree. But when you consider how many devices Samsung sells versus the number of QC complaints it’s pretty amazing they come out of the shoot as well built as they do.
Here's how Samsung started down the QC road and their general outlook...
In 1995, Chairman Lee was dismayed to learn that cell phones he gave as New Year’s gifts were found to be inoperable. He directed underlings to assemble a pile of 150,000 devices in a field outside the Gumi factory. More than 2,000 staff members gathered around the pile. Then it was set on fire. When the flames died down, bulldozers razed whatever was remaining. “If you continue to make poor-quality products like these,” Lee Keon Hyok recalls the chairman saying, “I’ll come back and do the same thing.”
The lesson stuck. In May 2012, three weeks before the new Galaxy S III was to be shipped, a Samsung customer told the company that the back covers for the smartphone looked cheaper than the demo models shown to clients earlier. “He was right,” says DJ Lee, the marketing chief of Samsung Mobile. “The grain wasn’t as fine on the later models.” There were 100,000 covers in the warehouse with the inferior design, as well as shipments of the assembled devices waiting at airports. This time, there would be no bonfire—all 100,000 covers, as well as those on the units at the airports, were scrapped and replaced.​
Great story on the "Samsung way"...

S4 on sale at att(preowned)

The s4 is currently on sale at att online only for 29.99. The lady on the phone gave me an early upgrade+free overnight for it. http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/devices/samsung/galaxy-s-4-16gb-black-mist-refurb.html

If you cancel early, might be a good way to get a S4 somewhat cheap. Nothing will beat the 50% glitch that happened last month though.

I just ordered one as well. I was really trying to see what kind of deposit I thought I'd have to pay. They've always asked me for one. I was surprised & they approved me this time. I even got an iPhone 4 w/ 8 Gig for .99 cents.

I went and got it because of this deal. I really didn't want to upgrade yet, but my Nexus S is really starting to show its age (bless its heart). Custom ROMs can only take you so far with a device that old. I really don't want an S4 (hardware buttons including the ugly physical home button, front Samsung branding, little dev community support compared to my Nexus S), but the deal was too good to pass up. I guess I could sell this for $400-450 (maybe more?) by the time the next Nexus phone is out. Anyway, I can't wait for it to arrive so I can experience some of that 1080p Gotdamoled goodness. I may even keep it if the bootloader situation and community support gets better.

I see, you seem to think I was talking about the community. I wasn't. I was badmouthing Samsung. In regards to the community, I was simply stating the current situation of things. The community support for this phone, in which there's not much going on, is a result of Samsung's and the carriers' doing.
I'm not sure how what I said could be misinterpreted to mean I'm bad-mouthing any entity other than Samsung. Calm down, read, and stop looking for something negative.

Its better than the six month wait it used to be for galaxy one and two

I was completely fine waiting until the 2nd. Then T-Mobile listed the estimated shipping date as the 24th. I got my hopes up despite my best effort not to, and now I'm checking my email/bank account/t-mobile site every five minutes for an update like a mad man.

Checked my preorder status twice today!!! ugh this sucks!! i just want it now! my bionic is killing me!

I'm right with the OP, I was ok waiting (kind of) until all the over-seas post of people receiving their Note III's.
I had the Sprint Note II up until 3 months ago when I switched to T-Mobile. I knew the Note III would be out within a few months so I could not see buying another Note II for a few months so I bought a Nexus 4 to hold me over. I miss the Note!!!
I think I'm going to try to stay off xda for the next few days...Yea right!!!
Ship the phone already!!!!

Super anxious here too! Got rid of the HTC One after being quite disappointed by the battery life. It went from fully charged to dead over the period of a football game the other weekend. Reverted back to the Galaxy Nexus that I've had for a while. Even after being rooted the Nexus has just degraded in performance and the power button only works when sternly pressed in the upper portion.
Ready for an upgrade out of necessity!

I can wait a few more weeks. I could get one "now" but I am holding off, like I did when the Note1 came out.
Bless the early adopters, but I'm lazy...I don't want to wait a month or more for a sure fire root/rom/hack to come
out to use some of my programs that require root. You early adopters make it SO MUCH EASIER :good: for someone
like me that has reached the point in their life, they just want to unbox it, set it up, root it and be done with it.
I plan on ordering something around Halloween. By then, a solid root/hack/fix for any issues that develop should
be in place. :victory:

AT&T should be shipping mine early next week (10/1 or 10/2). Should have in time for my birthday on the 5th! Cant wait!

Yea thinking of going with Midnight Black also. Gotta wait for my G6 return to be proccessed before I can preorder the S8. Sales reps said pre-orders might sell out soon.

More a "tour" than a review. There are two kinds of testing, objective and subjective. The latter is more opinion which that video is. I want to see how S-835 and Exynos 8955 compare to each other and their predecessors, how the new Mali and Adreno GPU's stack up, how the new camera's compare to their predecessors and others on the market, battery life and charging time, and brightness and energy use of the new displays. GSMArena, Anandtech, and Notebookcheck are the best at those types of objective tests and they use the same battery of tests consistently across all the devices they test.
Here's Notebookcheck's early hands-on...

Same one for me too (exynos version here though so hopefully can be rooted)

Going to go with the silver version. Felt like a change from the always dark colors, and it might not show fingerprints as badly.

I got stuck behind a fraud alert and now T-Mobile hasn't charged again it's been 2 days should I cancel and order thru Samsung site? I did pay the phone in full well I was going to if it went through hahaha. Whatcha guys think ?

Or you wait three days from when you would have received your pre-order and go in to a T-Mobile store and pick it up there. The pre-order frenzy in the T-Mobile thread is farcical. In two weeks anyone (in the U.S.) who wants a S8 can have one. The amount of energy and time being consumed by some people to get the phone a couple of days ahead of launch seems kind of odd. The irony is, at least with the Note7, AT&T'rs got their phones via FedEx before 95% of T-Mobile'rs got theirs via UPS. And the latter had tracking numbers days earlier. To each their own.

Did they say how long it would take for them to re charge your card? I see people placing orders today and have already been charged and also have shipping labels.

Sorry but it's not a great review. The amateurishness of this guy is evident when he says that the samsung chip is even better than Apple's A10 fusion chip. Also adds a sardonic "sorry apple fans"
Obviously this guy is a novice. Because any reputable You tuber knows and as seen in many videos,the iphone 7 plus wipes the floor with Samsung Galaxy S8. He sounds like a very obvious paid reviewer for Samsung.
Don't get me wrong. I have preordered the S8+. But let's be real here. In terms of sheer performance and optimization, no one can touch the iphones.
