Burn in screen or stuck pixel - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Can anyone tell me if this is a defect or something that I may have done to the phone? Just popped up put of nowhere. ?

We can't tell from a screen shot.

Keep us posted how the process works if you don't mind sharing and have time. I'm curious about the hand delivered warranty replacements.

Will do. I signed up for Premium care, gonna grab lunch then to the best buy premium care center. I'll report back. ?

I reported back to the wrong thread out of frustration. Here's my report :
Reporting back after trying to redeem my replacement device through Samsung Premium care. Well they sent me to t-mobile and tmo processed an order immediately. Although I did have to give them a credit for the new device , charge will be reversed once they receive the defective phone. Samsung Premium care is not ready for a subscription based platform. I was informed its a 3rd party company handling things. Not sure they are in concert as of yet. Paid beta program.

Maybe, but the Samsung screen is gorgeous and that's coming from an iPhone 4 user. I know the sensation has a qhd screen, but the super amoled plus is impressive.
I just want to get my hands on a sensation. Am soooo impatient!
I thought the release date was the 18th.
Have just spoken to them on the phone and Vodafone aren't getting them until the 18th and may not dispatch until 19th was the message I just got????
Yes, the UK Vodafone website says:
Pre-order yours today and we will aim to deliver your order by the 19th May

Ahh fcuk it !!!!!
Thought we would get some action today.
Was under assumption that u could walk into VF store amd just buy it today
Another week of waiting.
This and the thought of a nexus 3 at xmas
My head really hurts.....
Think I'll just buy a Nexus 3 (providing it's good) at Christmas. I mean, we know the software will be good...but the hardware is a different matter altogether (especially if it's by LG )
Can't wait until we get some real good user reviews of the Sensation
The VF UK website always said "Expect to receive your device around 19th May"
Pre-ordered mine, so hoping to get one soon! Should get an email day of dispatch.
Chose to have mine delivered to my local Voda store

That's what I am hoping too. Also I believe that if anything goes wrong with the handset you can just take it back to the store rather than sending it back?
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Can you not do that either way.
I always upgraded over the phone and got the phone posted to me but went into store for problems

I think with orange you have to send the handset back if you get it online. O2 told me that after the first 30 days I can go instore. Not sure about the other networks.

phone question

Hopefully someone will know.
I lost my phone and made a claim for a new one through the insurance I pay for with my plan. I later found my old phone and the screen is cracked but it still works.
Since I claimed my old phone as lost, can I sell it or does the IMEI number cause any issues for the person who purchases it? If so I may just opt to sell for parts only.
Thanks

the old phone's IMEI has been blocked from Verizon's network. It would be a misrepresentation/fraud to sell it without disclosing that.

You can sell it for parts or you can just sell the whole phone with the bad ESN. Some people will find some way to flash it to work on cricket or something along those lines.

It is nearly impossible to take the screen off the frame of GS3 once it is applied.
You'll require a lot of heat, but with that kind of heat may damage the existing screen.

Samsung?????

I contacted Samsung about sending my phone in for warranty and I got something strange back. I wanted to know if this looks right to u.
I will post a Pic when I get to my computer

Well what happened to the phone that u had to send it in? Warranty only covers manufacturers defects and software issues granted you haven't flashed custom Roms
Edit: sorry just read it again.. that rep has no idea what they're talking about. It should be the other way around

Should I return my Moto G from FlipKart?

I bought it from FlipKart.
some days back by mistake I dropped it while talking.
It went on to survive the incidence but there are some minor scratches on phone.Screen is intact as of now.
I was thinking if I should get it replaced saying some other hardware issues as I can see that FlipKart does not really check if handset is defective or not.
Please let me know what are your thoughts on this. I have only about a week to return it.
Does it work properly? Careful with bad karma..lol

People like you are responsible for getting rid of better support / replacements. Asking for free replacement for your own fault. :facepalm:

They won't replace it for sure, you have to take it to the service center and get it in written that the phone can't be repaired, then only Flipkart will replace it #Experienced
Always cheating and arguing about others mistakes.
Ppl argue on politicians, they argue on companies, they argue on police.
But most ones forget to start changing things by changing themself.

That's my thought exactly!
Looks like they're trying to get rid of the remaining stock.
Probably means nothing but my hope is that they are going to release new products. I don't see why they would enroll into the Android P beta program just to drop the phone a few months later.
If you want to release a home device you need a customer base as big as you can get. This is one way to increase the numbers.
bought one...can't wait to use it

I was thinking this too, make a big sale wave in the phone market, grab attention, and build up more users...
I wonder how long it will take to ship? Hoping to get mine by the end of next week for a trip. Looking forward to playing around with it
@antmunny & @rambleon84, let us know when you get it, how you like it.
@DoR3M3: Thanks for posting that deal! I can't wait to see how well it works with Android P. They may well be clearing the shelves for new and improved items!

This is specifically about the 360 cam FB live function. But okay. Was just checking maybe someone else that got it from this deal has the same problem, or not.

To Skin or Unskin, that is the question? LOL
I managed to snag one of these literally minutes before the sale ended. Bought it, went back to the page 30 minutes later and it was back up to $49. Can't wait to get it, may need to get a different case though.
