thanks alot,

You should send it back to Amazon, or take it back to whoever sold it to you. It is obviously defective and I do not think there is a way to fix that.

oh well.. i guess i have to sent it back to amazon..
thanks

yeah, I would send it back also. Sounds like you got a dud.

Make sure you tell them that it is defective and they will pay shipping. Otherwise you'll be stuck with the bill!

You should contact online support. They will send you a sticker, i mean pre-paid return shipping label.
I used to have a defective kindle fire (refurbished) with unusable touchscreen.
You don't hesitate, just contact them, they will send you a new one before you even post back the defective one.
I remember i had 30 days to complete the sending back process to Amazon...

Messed up screen

Was using my Tilt last night. Set it down, and half an hour later the screen is like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I didn't move it, touch it, drop it, drop anything on it, etc.
Soft reset - no fix. Hard reset - no fix, but can't complete the setup, since I can't see anything. Any thoughts?
fraid thats a crack right there. rong atnt and get a replacement
How I can flash back to the orginial ROM, though? I can't see anything on the screen. I'd have to do the ROM and the SPL, correct?
Oh, and thanks for helping, jayjay!
go to the wiki page and it will tell you how to do it.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Kaiser
DONT send it back to at&t! they will see that it is physical damage and charge you the $400 out of warranty fee! best thing is find the thread about how to open the kaiser, order a new screen for around $60 and replace it urself. good luck
omar
what if he claims accidental damage. when my universal broke i told them i dropped by accident and they said its okay wells end you out a new one next day and all they charged was 15 quid
($30)
it doesnt matter if its accidental or not. im talking about the warranty, which only covers manufacturers defects. if u have insurance then u just pay the deductible
it seems like atnt have a little customer service to review. i have read theyre a bit iffy with customers wanting help

Easy V8 All in One POST!!!!!

“Sorry he says”, I bricked my phone and had to play dumb to the local sales guy to get a warranty replacement. LMAO, not mad at you, as I know the risk….I am fully stock again): V8…..Keep working on it, I need to be set free.
PS, played dumb and told the salesman that verizon pushed out this update thingy, wasn’t sure, but did the update anyway, and my phone never booted up again…luckily it was bricked so bad, that he couldn’t get in to see what I was doing.
Keep up this good work, I love this Forum.......so I bricked one phone, needed the 2 day break from family & friends calling/texting me anyway....
What?!
Did this thread get moved from another forum to OffTopic? And you shouldn't get a new phone cause you f'd up in a flash. You only help to contribute to the high price of phones and legit warranty claims getting rejected.
Kinda confused by the first part...

Carpenters are shaping up to be vindictive. Did anyone else eat the apple bum? The sales rep told me Bricks are for kids, but I showed him. Freaking tyrannosaurus ate the dingo that ate my baby. Keep it up guys! I love this forum.
Pointless thread is pointless.

[Q] QHUSB HTC Repair Price?

Hello,
I have to send my phone to HTC. It's hard bricked. I will probably be charged. Do you have any idea how much do they usually charge to repair this?
Thanks

They will probably replace to motherboard, don't know exactly but somewhere between 250-300 US, if your phone is still under warranty they will fix it for free.

also you should note that since the M8 was released you can find Good used M7 on eBay and other sites for under $300 in the US. I got one from Newegg for $249 and it looks like new ->> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2702812

Actually my phone has warranty, but it has a design fault, it's bent haha. It never fell, don't know how it was caused.

Do you think that would leave my phone out of warranty?

Problem with purple tint and shadow/mixed background on Note 8 Exynos.

Hello all,
As the title says, I bought this for my brother couple of years ago and now it's showing a purple tint (very obvious when running on white background) and also its like I'm seeing a double image in the background-specifically the image, in this case a guitar, as seen in the back; like it's burned in. Is this a serious issue and can it be fixed? Took it to a store and the guy, immediately told me change screen and it will cost almost as much as a new phone. Just wondering if there is another solution.
Thanks, Gary

If you purchased this unit 2nd hand, chances are the display has burn-in damage. You could try this app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mert.screenburnfixer&hl=en&gl=US) to see if it will help with the burn in issue. Please note that you should run it for about an hour.

Thanks for the answer. It's from a shop, not 2nd hand. And it happened after 2-3 years of use but not extensive. Talked with Samsung customer service they told me the guarantee is over so nothing can be done. Told them it wasn't my fault if you have faulty hardware that triggers after x amount of time that YOUR machine broke down. It never fell from his hands or anything. Anyways I'll try that app though from what I started reading online, the problem seems to be consistent with many same model phones.
