I wonder how such a screw up can happen? Weren't the batterys stress tested? Did the manufacturer change the manufacturing after the samples were approved? Is the CEO going to resign?
you're so weird. calm your ass down. **** happens, you ever heard of the Toyota recall?

Yup. Samsung isn't the first. They won't be the last.
Don't forget Boeing, no need for Note 7 to blow when their own batteries did. This is what happens when we want more energy density, when **** goes wrong, boom.

Apple phones have been blowing up since 2009 and even killing people read world news. At least Samsung is addressing it and taking no care how much it will cost them which is billions. Apple hasn't done a thing ever.

I went to McDonalds last night, and they had a recall notice posted on the drive-thru window. Recalling some kind of "activity watch", it can overheat and cause burns.
No offense to any south koreans here.. but South Korea as such is very morally bankrupt. Samsung is no different. They lie, cheat and do all kinds of things to make a buck. This is a glaring omission or cost cutting that they tried to do with inferior batteries which turned out to be not only defective, but dangerous.

My kids have that watch, lol. They were running around with it on when I first read about it. Just tell them they ran so fast it caught fire trying to keep up.

I realise the whole thing is kinda pointless... but what are the bets that Android/iPhone/every-other-OS users are voting WebOS?
but yeah would be pretty funky to see WP7 crowned King. My votes been counted anyway

Pretty high, they're jelly that their run-down boring OSes with only good apps to back them up didn't get anywhere.

Many people would argue that a mobile OS is only as good as the apps available to it. Accordingly, this "OS bowl" is rediculously flawed. The only way that WP7 winning would make any sense is if the primary criteria for voting was "most untapped potential"

Haha , the votes are only from the people who bought the phones. Sad.

That would totally explain the fact that android and iphone booth with definitively higher market shares got raped. I mean it wasnt even a close game for either. It's all about OS... WP7 is in my opinion the best OS apps aside, in a business user though I could see palm being the best. Android and iphone have all the app backing in the world but this isn't a "Who has the best developer support bowl." It's an OS bowl and the top two teams are there accordingly.
Not nearly as sad as your stalking and trolling - do you even have a WP7?
I think his initial excuse was "I'm considering getting one." Followed by a 3 page list going on about the few features that have yet to been included.
It'll probably be at least 5 years til we know the top three

Person, i don't understand you, you buy a phone which has the capability to bake cookies,make coffie,wash dishes but is limited by the manufacturer and/or network, its like buying a sports car that has been limited to 30 mph, the first thing you should do to is is remove the limiter.

I think I'll close this as it has the potential to go into meltdown
About a week ago I started having the same issue as the person who started this thread:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/25020-screen-pixelated/
Now my question is, I have a ding in the casing of my phone that happened long before the screen issues. Would Verizon warranty my phone even with the ding in it? Seeing how the screen problems aren't related to the ding? And if they were to, would they charge me full retail for the replacement phone once they get my old one and see the ding?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Here's a picture of the ding in case anyone asks.
It looks worse in the picture than it really is.

Bad thread URL, bro. But for them to deny warranty work, they have to prove that the ding is related, so I would say you are good, as long as you arent taking it to them for the ding.

Thanks for the catch.
That's a little bigger than a "ding"...
As adrynalyne said, unless they think the screen issues are related to the case damage, you should be good. Kinda depends on the CS rep you get.

Doesn't list the item as OEM... but claims it was via message.
Not OEM. Poor fitment. Cracked already and had imperfections.
Doesn't line up with the flash, pushes up against the speaker and camera. No bueno.
This is the follow up from a previous post that was floating around.

Cool story bro, I have been buying parts from ebay for almost 10 years & never had an issue.
Anyone that says one thing PM and another on the add is suspect and should not have been given business. Period.
Maybe the shopper should do more research 1st next time.
There is a company in China that goes by the name "OEM".
So the eBay sellers often use that MFG to sell products, pretending to be true "OEM" products.
Very confusing and eBay should put a halt to this practice.
Really needs to be a craigslist type of system where users can "flag" this or other types of auctions.

I hit my 10 year anniversary couple months back and it was never an issue for myself until recently. Way too many things from China. I've learned to just not buy anything from China anymore. The thing is... the Chinese manufacturers will have a warehouse in the US and ship it all from there. Then they claim to be state side. Bummer.

One California man is thanking his lucky stars that he decided to buy an HTC Evo 3D. Yesterday morning the phone stopped a bullet that would otherwise have hit him in the chest.
It’s a scene right out of an old Western flick, except that the pocket-sized Bible has been replaced by a 4.3-inch Android smartphone. A look at the back of the Evo reveals that its most volatile components (the battery) played an important role in stopping the slug.
Obviously the victim will be in the market for a new phone now. If HTC’s marketing department has an ounce of common sense, they’ll leap at the chance to work this into their Iron Man campaign and get a brand new phone into this guy’s hands as quickly as possible.
This isn’t the first time an HTC phone has stopped a bullet, either. You may recall an eerily similar incident that occurred back in 2011, where an Atlanta nightclub valet’s life was saved by an Evo 4G. Yes, that’s another Sprint variant.
Is it possible that the Sprint/HTC collaboration is yielding some breed of superphones? Clearly one other thing Droid does is stand up to small caliber rounds.
Unapologetically plastic? That’s a slogan that works for some. Others might prefer the sound of something a bit more dramatic, and if HTC can’t find a way to capitalize on a second live-saving, bullet-stopping phone then the company deserves to be absorbed by a competitor and fade into oblivion.

haha, yeah...It's true, HTC could replace the mobile and use it for marketing... It is definitely the best build in the android mobile market...
They should really use that for marketing, would catch the attention of people with cracked phones!
