Hey guys, I'm having an issue where when the phone vibrates, there is a high frequency rattle that comes with it. I am wondering if this is just the nature of the phone or theres something wrong with it. Care to share anybody?
Other than that, this phone is amazing!

That's fortunate for you. I plan on keeping mine for awhile though.
I feel it might be on all devices. When I shake the device, I can hear, I think, the auto focus shaking. The rattling might be a product of the auto focus shaking with the phone which is okay with me. I just dont want it to be loose pieces bouncing around in my phone.

Any word on the visit to T-Mobile? My phone vibration has seemed to majorly decrease in strength.
No issues with anything here. Loving this phone! Best phone ever!

So I just got my phone a few days ago and while browsing the web I noticed my screen sometimes loses color? Like it goes black and while lines like a static from a tv. Not that bad but it is getting worse. Should I return the phone or what? Is this the same problem with lines and blobs everybody else is having?

Your the first person I have heard have this issue. Best thing to due is return it back to stock if you have modded it and get it replaced. Something is wrong with your phone and should definitely be replaced.

are you sure maybe it's not the AutoBrightness acting up?
try with auto brightness disabled
Would that cause it? I usually have my brightness on high though, which it was at the time.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
this is definitely a new and unique, almist certainly, hardware fault. Reset factory settings and return.
Sounds like he's mistakenly referring to the known "checkerboarding" issue in the stock browser as black & whites lines from a TV...
Just my two cents..

No, that would not cause it. The symptom of that issue is fluctuating brightness not color dropping out. The problem could be a bad video connector or cable in the phone, or a bad display panel. Take it back while you can.

I don't use the default web browser.

Make sure that it is your phone and not the app or game you're playing that is faulty.
There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?
Hello,
Today when I restarted my phone, it got stuck on the "Goodbye" screen for longer than normal, then flashed the camera 3 times before shutting off. What is going on? Anyone have a similar issue? I am on stock, rooted.
Thanks
Happens to everyone, it is normal.

It may be an android thing. I remember my HD2 used to do this from time to time. I never found out why it does that though...
This happens to me quite often. Sometimes it just stay lit until the phone is completely off. It's just weird

Is it really worth it to replace my phone for this? It has only happened once over 5 months. How much did it happen to you? Does it signal something wrong with the phone if it has just happened once?
If it doesn't mean that something is wrong with my phone, I wouldn't really want to go through the hassle of a return :\
It happens to me and my brother randomly. Not a big deal

Do they replace with a brand new unopened box or a refurbished unit?
Lol really? ..jeez some of you complain about everything and anything.
LOVE the uninformed comments about how you should get your phone replaced if it does this or this is a sign of your t989 waving goodbye.
And then people wonder why the whole process of getting a replacement phone keeps getting worse.

so what? does it bother you?
Anyone can replicate this. While your phone is on, hold power/Vol up/Vol down all at the same time for about 10 seconds. That forces a reboot and your camera will flash until you let go.

Well. .
My phone flashes once (quickly) when it shuts off with no battery. It doesn't happen to me anytime I shut it off or restart it.
So my wife's epic is on EL30 (no FC09 yet, I've checked) and almost every time someone calls her and she answers, the screen goes black and will not turn on to be able to press anything. Also she cannot hear anything the person is saying on the phone but they can hear her. The screen comes back on when the person hangs up on the other end. Any suggestions?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
It may be a stupid question but is the phone to her ear when it won't turn on? Cuz its not supposed to... also if she is using the 100 mhz frequency try disabling that frequency and using 200 as the min.

She is actually 100% stock I haven't messed with her phone as of yet. So it is a stock issue. And yes when she pulls the phone away from her ear the screen is still black. And she can't hear anything. Also, the only way she can talk to anyone on the phone at all is on speaker phone.

If you have insurance bring it into sprint... sounds like maybe a malfunctioning proximity sensor... that doesn't really explain the sound issue though... again that also sounds hardware related (seens how your on stock rom). No insurance? Great videos on how to take this phone apart... take it apart and look for any loose ribbons or anything...

Put a rom that's not for your phone install have way then turn the power off.....

Ok, that sounds promising.
Let me run that back. I get a rom from any other phone, begin to flash through recovery and before the install finishes I turn the phone off and voila, no lights, nothing. Right?

I know it sounds terrible right? She got some water damage and the guy at Costco told me he would replace a hard brick if I screwed up while flashing.
I'm somewhat torn, but don't want to pay a deductible, we just paid one because she let my 1 year old play with her phone and he broke the screen. Anyway, just something I'm debating, not convinced yet.

Yeah, I won't be doing it. I was just venting mostly. I'm basically just pissed at the circumstance, and was looking for a way to save a few bucks. I'm more concerned about potentially getting a good guy busted for taking a phone in that he shouldn't than I am for duping some mega chain or phone manufacturer. Saving myself a bit of money isn't worth that.

Good think you arent risking losing his job, but costco should return if you brick it no matter what. I did it on accident and best buy gave me a new one. I will post a PSA on it. but on the off chance you do still want to do it, just restore from a nandroid, and leave recovery on overnight, and that should do it. It is a new bug me and a few other developers have found the hard way.
For a moment I thought the OP was gonna give us his number, even though we just met, and ask us to call him, maybe?
