Just got a refurbished HTC One. Everything is great but...

I just noticed I can see PM up on the top right side of the screen and some notifications in the top left corner during full screen apps, especially with a full grey screen. I didn't see those a couple hours ago when I got it.
Did I seriously just burn in my screen already? Is this normal for a "new" One? Or should I be freaking out?
I did nothing out of the ordinary since I got it. Just rooted it, restored apps, put it on the charger for a bit. That's all.

I see 127 views and no replies. No one wants to touch this one lol! I'm taking it back to Sprint in the morning. I shouldn't be getting burn in less than 24 hours into using any phone, refurbished or not.

Yea,i agree,take it back and make them replace it,it should last longer than 24 hours,wether you flash it or not,im upgrading to this from the EVO 4G,in 2 months,but it will be a new one,hahaha,i just cant wait,so i can start to dev for the One now and maybe port over my 4 kornerz rom.

I would take it back as well.
Also, pay attention to the screen. In my One, the speakers busted (same as my OG Evo, Evo 3D and Hero. Htc makes ****ty speakers) I also have a dead pixel so I filed an insurance claim. Today I received the new One and the display is garbage. The whites look dingy and yellow like a cheaper version. It doesn't compare at all to my current One.
I'm gonna send it back and try my luck again =\

I've owned 7 htc devices and never popped the speakers.
Are you using a volume enhancer or something?

Nope. You're lucky then because HTC speakers are cheap and it isn't just me who says so. Here is a quick google search but you can dig deeper and see for yourself. I never really cared because replacing the speaker was easy...but with the HTC One it is a repair nightmare.

Sprint will be sending me another refurbished one early next week. For the time being I'm rolling with my burned in screen but otherwise awesome one! The tech at sprint immediately saw it and was like yeah that's not right haha

Asurion is gonna be sending me another one as well. I just hope the screen matches the one I have now. It is so much better than the replacement. I wish I could take pix and show you guys, it's annoying the things could be this drastically different.
Glad your issue is getting resolved! :good:

So apparently this thing isn't near impossible to repair if they are sending out refurbs as replacements.

I'll halfway attempt to break it down, but I doubt you'll understand.
There are people who break down how difficult it would be for the average consumer to do things such as repairs for these phones (hint:ifixit). The average consumer isn't gonna own all the tools/equipment or possess the knowledge/skill as a professional. This is true in probably everything you'll ever get repaired, otherwise mechanics have been ripping people off for years.
This phone scores as low as possible when it comes to repairs. It doesn't mean that professionals can't repair it. Ifixit isn't gonna breakdown how easy it is for HTC or other phone repair people, why the *@*! would anyone care about that? They are breaking it down for the not so skilled.

I got my phone replaced once already as well, but Sprint said they DO NOT use refurbished phones as replacements until the phone has been released for 6 months.
But what was odd is that my replacement phone didn't come with a box, so I dialed ##786# and checked the "reconditioned status" which stated "none." I wonder if this replacement is not a refurb, then why did it come with no box?

Sprint doesn't handle it, Asurion does. They'll tell you it could be new or refurbished. It all depends on what they have. Both of mine came with a box, but that doesn't mean they're new.
I'm about to send ny second replacement back. The screen is just too yellow and dingy looking. It's a damn shame I have to file an insurance claim and pay a deductible on a month old phone.

To update, my 2nd refurb seemed nice enough. But after having it a couple days, I've noticed the screen colors are pretty blown out and definitely not like it should be. Colors are as funky as they can be, and the screen itself is way too bright. And for insult to injury, the phone is unable to connect to 4G LTE. So back to Sprint I go!

Well if you want to stay with samsung then you should look into the s7 edge. I am going to try and drag this out until I can preorder the lg v20. I will probably go a week with no phone but I will manage.

Hey thanks man.... so is Samsung discontinuing the note then

I'm in the V20 camp as well. The only thing that makes me nervous is if I hold out for the pre-order I'm worried they'll stop allowing the returns. Has anyone gotten a word on how long they're allowing the returns for? I love this phone but the stigma around it has me over the whole thing sadly.

I have the same concern. I am going to attempt to get a loaner phone from t-mobile so I can return my note 7 asap in case they stop the returns.

I don't understand what's the rush? If there's a recall you can return your phone any time, there isn't a return window.

Right now this is a voluntary return and not a mandatory recall. If things comes out to be the worst then there will be another mandatory recall. So why not wait to see what happens before doing anything?

We don't know yet. Samsung's wordings seems to show that they will be resuming manufacturing of the Note after setting up better QC. But they can change plans very quickly at this point in time. So we don't really know what is going to happen at this point in time. If they are discontinuing the Note at this early point in time then there will be a mandatory return type recall.

I don't know if you are joking or not. But if you are not joking then your Note will be the first confirmed China made T-Mobile Note 7 to have this problem. Would like to know if this is true.
If you want to return then either Samsung 7 edge or LG V20. Samsung 7 Edge can use the Gear Fit2 and Gear VR.

I was using my gear vr with my dji phantom 3 pro. Flew for maybe an hour and 20 mins removed the note7 from the head set and noticed the two bubbles instantly I thought dead pixels but turned the device off and they were still there and the fact that color still shows through the spots tells me it's bubbling

Tinythejuggalo said:

I can't tell if that is a pixel issue or glass separating from screen issue. Either case has nothing to do with battery over heating. This is not from over heating battery problems.
Regardless which one is the issue these are warranty issues and can return (under T-Mobile's new return policy for Note 7) or exchange. If want to exchange under warranty then you can return device and get a loaner phone from T-Mobile to use until new Notes start manufacturing again or wait for recall. That is unless you want another device then take advantage T-Mobile's return new policy for the Note 7 and get another device.
Again: This is a manufacturing defect and not an over heating battery issue.

I just contacted T-Mobile on their twitter help page. Apparently they don't have a return window for the replacement units either. So if for any reason you're not confident in the phone, you can take it in for a refund and exchange. It is a voluntary return at this point and not a recall, but they will allow a full refund outside the 14 day window for the foreseeable future. So we should be able to hang out to our phones until the v20 comes out from what I understand.

Excuse me.... I don't want to just return out of the 14 day window... personally love the note series I've had the 3,4,5,and now two 7s my 4 was rooted running overdrive n5 port till I could buy the note 5........ And this has to do with battery overheating because if it wouldn't have gotten hot the adhesive wouldn't not have bubbled..... as there was no issue before........... I really wish I would have just kept the v1 note 7 since mine was a China model with no issue

Its more of a confidence thing at this point. The phone has this black cloud over it (metaphorically). I'm tired of the jokes and the Note 7 memes popping up everywhere and co-workers asking if the phone has blown up yet. I know the chances of the phone burning up are slim to none, but now I'm paranoid and constantly checking to make sure the phone isn't heating up. I love the phone, but it's rapidly becoming a love/hate relationship to the point I'm starting to resent the damn thing, as dumb as that sounds. If people want to keep their phones, more power to them. I'm just frustrated and over the whole thing.
/end rant

I don't want to give my phone up!!

As I said this will be my second time returning this phone. And right now there's no phone in the market that comes near this phone. I don't know if to return it or what. I'm at a lost here. Sdcard, spen slick and so many more feature.

I feel your pain. Always on display, water resistance, spen. I dont know what else to get.

I feel the same way! but we have not been given allot of choices

V20 is the only option but good thing I'll hold on to my baby till it releases.

This whole fiasco almost looks to me like a sabotage or complete incompetence among engineers. Do they actually know what the problem is? Because apparently it is not what they said it was. So what happens if the phone gets stolen or lost?

Ya this phone is just premium in every way. I dont even think a v20 will be as badass as this phone. I'm holding on to mine until some more info is released

Anyone heard about Asus zenfone3 deluxe? Can it be close to V20

There isn't a phone out the van hold an Spen to the Note 7. Anything LG makes is crap. The other iphoney is not anything special. I'm holding on to mine. Samsung hasn't released a statement about halting the note 7. I'll hold on to this phone until I wanna give it up. If it blows up, so be it. That's my choice.

Seems to me this issue started soon after pulling the battery process to their internal plants instead of outsourcing to reputable manufacturers. Looks like it was a corner cutting, cost saving routine. But look how much it's costing them now. Seems they took this process for granted instead of making a quality product they screwed themselves so hard, the note line could be cursed. The upcoming S8, I won't be an adopter, watch everyone else get burned just like we are now.

Yea I plan on holding on to mine too. I been thinking all day what phone could I replace it with and I literally came up with nothing. I got a few cases on the way, 256 gb sd card is on the way, gear vr on the way ????

yah and remember this phone is not compatible with tmobile 256QAM network yet. tmobile has to push that update. if they stop support, note 7 owners will not be getting updates. i returned both my rooted v2s today. didn't have a choice.

Already spot a yellow band

Was happy that I finally got my phone in, untill I powered it up and notice there is a yellow tint band right in the middle of the screen vertically.. I was hoping this wouldnt happen because with my luck I always get a phone with an issue like that.
I mean the yellow band isn't notice off that bat but when u have a grey or darkish background u can see it.
I'm debating to send it back and get fustrated waiting for it again...

OnePlus offers a 15 day no questions asked, hassle free, full refund on their phones (and accesories that have not been opened). You only pay for shipping after filing for an RMA ticket with their customer service.
It takes a couple of weeks to get the refund, but you'll get it as long as it passes inspection from any of their authorized service centers that your phone ends up in.
Hope this helps.

That was not my point,i know what the cause is, I had it on my one plus one, and oneplus 3. But you were talking about a screenshot, a screenshot will be 100% perfect, even when the screen is completely broken, you have to take a picture of the screen with another camera. A display tester app won't work either. It's all theoretical info.
OP, thanks for pointing out. I made my decision to not buy this phone if they still can't manage to do it right.

Note 9 Green Polka Dot "Burn in?"

My phone is less that 3 months old. I take care of it religiously. My display turns off after 30 sec, and I dont use auto brightness. It's never at max and I don't leave my screen still for extended periods of time.
Noticed this green discoloration on my screen a few days ago. Now it's all I see. Gives white pages a greenish tint and can be seen better on certain colors.
Very annoying to have on a $1000 brand new device.
Has anyone else noticed this on their devices?? Never had this happen on any of my previous 4 Samsung phones.
Edit - Found out it's called a "screen uniformity" problem.

That is odd. Have you tried a factory reset to see if that helps at all? Does seem like a burn in issue. If all else fails you have a 1 year warranty to get you a replacement.

I have tried a factory reset. Did a little bit of research and found it it's a "screen uniformity" problem.
Seen a few threads of people seeing this under uv light and it is the glue that holds the glass on.
I'm thinking the glue didnt properly cure on my device and is now showing through. I'm sending my device in to get repaired. I hope it gets fixed the first time. Seen people say it came back again and again.

Unfortunately it sounds like you'll need to get it repaired
In the market for a Note 9, but seeing these reports popping up makes me wonder if I should wait for the 10.

This screen is defective and for a replacement.

Gently apply some heat with a hairdryer while pressing down with a credit card wrapped in a soft cloth.

Lol I'm not going to microwave my $1000 device that is under warranty.
Also if I am not satisfied with the repair then I will send it back. If that keeps happening i will demand a new phone or a refund.
Either way I'm getting it fixed right lol

I had the same issue on mine. Did a chat with Samsung, they gave me a case number and told me to contact a repair center. I went to Best Buy, they ordered a screen and had it repaired today. Definitely much better. Hopefully it stays that way.

Mine only took 2 and a half months. Hopefully they have better quality screens now. I hope it doesnt start happening again 3 months down the road

Agreed because next time I'll have to send it off most likely. Best buy told me if the issue happened again I'd probably have to get Samsung to do the repair.
