Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this. I ordered my phone online and it has a dead pixel. Do you guys think my local store will exchange for another one? I did not buy with a contract. I would hate to go with out my phone...especially now that I am loving THIS phone.
what store did you order it from? i think most national chains will replace your stuff in store. not positive though.
Amazon is very good about exchanges within 30 days if that's where you got it. Otherwise you can call 611 I had one captivate replaced by amazon and one by AT&T

If you ordered from AT&T online a cor store will exchange for you. If you purchased from an agent like Wirefly they will not.

Hey gunny! I followed you on the captivate and now have an inspire. What I did fellows is speak with an account executive about my ****ty captivates performance and they offered me the inspire for the contract price. Great deal and awesome phone. I am kind of bummed that I found a dead pixel. So it appears a core store will exchange? I hate to exchange it....over one stuck pixel. Hope they don't think I'm being a **** or anything. I just know its gonna bother me down the road.
Ugh. I got like 3 dead pixels stuck on the top right corner, barely noticeable...but I notice it. did you get it replaced?

Yeah. I just got back from the retail store about an hour ago. It kind of sucked because the pixel was so small and they could hardly see it. It was stuck in green which didn't help. I have very good eye sight. I can even see the pixels on the iPhone 4 screen. Eventually they were able to see it and replaced the phone. They were amazed at how I got the phone without a contract though.
I dropped my phone yesterday and cracked the glass. It's still functioning but very annoying to use and I'm sure next drop will finish it.
What are my options?
I've called Rogers (our carrier in Canada) they want $345 to fix it and I've called independent shops. They want anywhere from $205 to $245 to fix it (I'm assuming these would be aftermarket components).
What if I buy the components from ebay and do it myself. Is it doable?

Moving to Q&A. Post in the correct forums
I did a search on youtube and got nothing on replacing the screen on our phones (i727)

I have just recently replaced my screen and was in the same boat as you. The part itself is around the $200 range where-ever you look. Yes, they are expensive screens.
Depending on your skill level, I found it fairly easy to replace myself but there are some repair shops all over that charge minimally for the actual repair; myself, here in my part of the Country (by Calgary), I charge $40 for the repair.
Don't know if that helped you or not but the site I got my screen from is cellphonepartscanada, just have to google it.
about $150 to do it yourself.
Everyone cracks their glass when they drop their phone...I crack tiles.

If you have insurance... reported it as lost, and pay the $150 deductible for a new phone... you'll get in the mail by 3 business days.

Carrier insurance is always a hassle. I've had great luck using Square. ATT might be different than T-Mobile, but when my blackberry got swiped, they didn't cover it.
I got e-mail from ATT and it's aready been shipped out and I should get my device this week I cannot wait to get my hands on the device.......
Old but gold. I wish I was this lucky in Brazil.
mine's en route for friday.
Returned my HTC One (for various reasons) today. Bit irresponsible perhaps as refund for the One won't have gone through yet but what the hell.
Hoping Clove will deliver on time. Only potential regret is went for the frost white and having very minor buyer's remorse re: the 'mist
Just got a FedEx tracking number. The new toy will be delivered Thursday 4/25! Osssss-summmm!

Lovely looking phone, but serious build issues involving where the horizontal speaker grills meet the screen. A lot of them (both the ones I had and also the three ive seen in my local shops) seem to have this raised screen/sharp cutting edge issue in the top left.
Also there were some superficial things I didn't like - the large bezel, the slightly awkward capacitive layout etc etc.
Anyway excited about giving the s4 a go. Anythings gotta be better than my old 4s.
Wow thats too bad for HTC haha

Just tried the HTC One and the build quality while it is amazing the phone has nothing particular making me hyped... The display is sharp but faded. Maybe I've been using amoleds too much? The phone isn't comfortable to hold for long periods of time because of its sharp edges and the demo was already scratched in the back...

When I went in to pre-order my S4 I played with the HTC One display unit there, they had only had it out for a day or two...and the back was super scratched up it looked like someone used it without a case for a few years. The iPhone 5 demos there didn't look anywhere near that bad so I'm not sure what's up with their aluminum.
However I thought the screen looked great and I really loved the feel of the phone in my hands with that curved back. I'm hoping I get that premium feel with the S4 too.
(I actually switched from the HTC One X to the Galaxy S3 and maybe was one of the few, but I honestly liked the feel of the S3 more)
To stay on track: Got my email at 9:13 am. Phone has shipped and I'll be getting it on 4/25!
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't jealous
Supposedly 2 possible safe note 7's have went up in smoke and flames. I have also read that the major carriers in the US will be allowing exchanges of the now safe note 7's for something else.
Well if this is the case, what other options are on par with the note 7? Im thinking S7 edge or God forbid i go to an Iphone 7 plus. What are you guys looking at just in case or will you roll the dice and take your chances?

This is really a shame because I love my Note 7. If it is recalled again I'm thinking of the HTC 10, since my previous phone was the HTC M8 and I loved it. I would miss the s-pen ALOT, along with all the Note 7's other great features. For now I will take my chances on the replacement and hope all works out.

I just exchanged my Note 7 for the s7 edge at Sprint. I was having Bluetooth issues like others and didn't want to get stuck with the phone for another 2 years. Only crappy thing is since Best Buy wouldn't accept the phone since it's over the 14 day return policy I had to go through Sprint and they did an even swap out so technically I lost $100 since the s7 edge is less money but oh well. I'll grab another 256gb micro SD card and try to make my $100 back.

I was thinking if i had to drop down to an S7 edge and i do concider it a drop down, i will get the VR because ive already gotten the gear fit 2, i got a 256gb memory card on the way, might as well go for the trifecta....lol
I wish i could hold out on the S8 which im sure is going to be awesome or who knows the Note 8 might be the greatest of them all.

I have had every note since number 2 and skipped the 5 due to no memory card or removable battery options. I thought the 7 was a fair compromise so i upgraded my note edge which i still have and have a 9000 mah battery for it thaf last for days.... lol. Im using it to stream ufc 204 to my tv now.....shh dont tell Dana White.....lol
But i dont know if i can go back to a lrss than top tier phone or one that is lacking a feature ive become so accustomed to.

They would but only if it was purchased through Sprint. Mine was purchased through Best Buy and Best Buy wouldn't help me at all since I was outside the 14 day return window for my "safe version 2" Note 7. Really Sprint shouldn't have let me swap out the phone but I found a manager at one of my local Sprint stores who was cool and he didn't stress where I purchased it so I lucked out.

I've got 4 days until my 14 return window with best buy is over and I'm not sure what I want to do. I love this device and downgrading to a 7 edge would be something I do not want to do, and there's really no other device that sprint has that I want right now. I guess if forced I'd go to an htc 10 simply because it's got root already and decent developer support, but I'd still be upset with having to give my note up, I love it.
The note 7 is dead. If there is a recall, I highly doubt we'll be getting another Note 7...

I'm thinking of doing the same.
The S8 will be rushed to try to put this blunder behind them and the Note 8 will probably be the greatest phone ever created in an effort to erease the past.

The s7 edge is only a "downgrade" if your set on having the S-Pen. I loved having the pen to create goofy pictures now and then but it's not a big deal. All the specs are the same with better battery life on the edge. I liked the idea of the Iris scanner but never really used it. Really the only thing I miss is the newer version of Always on display but I'm sure the edge will get it shortly.

It's only got gorilla glass 4 and and half the storage capacity, it is a downgrade, and one I definitely don't want. If I wanted a 7 edge, I'd have had one months ago. Now I'm forced to make a choice I really don't want to make. I really hope they don't scrap the note 7 entirely

This is my first Note, coming from the S6 and I am totally disappointed with all the negative media. I had no problems with the first and none, so far, with the replaced Note 7. There is no other phone that I want right now, so if forced, I'll get a refund and go back to my S6 and wait on the S8... I still have my Nexus 6P on Google Fi.

If I hadn't given my g3 to my dad when I upgraded I would do the same and wait, but I can't now, I need a phone, so I just feel like I'm going to get stuck for two years with a device I don't really want. It sucks.

It may sound crazy, but I haven't used my "upgrade" from Sprint for years. I usually by the phone outright from someone else, which was the case the with first one. That way, I'm not stuck. I usually use PayPal Credit, so no large upfront money put out.

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.
