The strangest thing is starting to happen a few times to me. When i have removed the battery from my phone while it has been on i get a unlock symbol with custom above it. I have not done anything to the phone it is all stock but i was wondering what this could be. I will attach a picture
It means you have a custom recovery installed

Lol only other possible explanation is that someone from the store messed around with it.

We'll I was hoping to get a dev to look at the system dump and see what they find.
It's probably some app you have installed. Don't panic. Restart the phone 5 or 6 times and see if it still appears..if it does it may just be an app messing with it. Definitely nothing to worry about unless it just annoys you.

Just bought my gs4 today.& i have a dead pixel.its a red dot visible on black and grey..somebody knows how to fix this??
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium
well you could replace the screen. or just take it back & get a replacement device. within 14 days verizon would give you a new one. not sure about other carriers.
I'm from belguim.there is no verizon here ^^

If it's red it would then be a stuck pixel? There are some ways to potentially fix those (flashing images of different colours very quickly), but being brand new I would replace the phone.

Try playing this video (don't directly stare at it):

Keep it going for a while.
There's an 8-hour version if you're willing to try that overnight before returning it.

If only one pixel out of 2073600 pixels is stuck or dead and it doesn't affect you much, then keep it.
But if it bothers you, you are fully entitled to exchange your new phone.
Same problem here, bought a S4 this morning with one dead or stuck pixel (green dot on black background).
Already exchanged at the store with no problem.

Sorry! Go ahead and return it if it bothers you. I know how it's necessary to want a perfect phone when you first buy it! :-o
Good luck.

These things never does. I have had a lot of devices with stuck/death pixels - always seems to be a 1st batch issue. And always we find these "fix" recommendations but they NEVER work Swap it.
I had a red stuck pixel on my Galaxy S2, I removed it by simply rubbing the screen on the dead pixel while applying pressure.
It disappeared and never came back
I'd be devastated rather take it back.
So yesterday evening I sent in my Nexus 4 to get a replacement due to my battery dying on me out of no where. The phone was rooted with aokp installed. I tried everything to try and boot it up and get it into fast boot to unroot but there was no luck there. So my question is have any nexus 4 owners that have had to get an RMA send there's in rooted? If so was Google able to get your phone up therefore causing you to pay for the replacement?

every device that ive ever sent back to google to get rma'd has been bootloader unlocked, root, custom rom/kernel. never a problem. last one was my nexus 7, stopped charging. generally, if its hardware related, theyll take care of it.

I highly doubt Google will notice or care.. :good:
I don't see you having an issue it's a hardware fault.

At least 1 person has already been denied RMA because they unlocked the bootloader, so they care.

I find that rather odd... I wonder if there was more to the story..
In the past I have sent Google unlocked, rooted, and custom ROM'd Nexus 7, a Galaxy Nexus, and a Nexus 10...
Never heard a peep from them..

I can't find the thread (guy probably deleted it) but basically the guy told the rep he unlocked the phone and he was then referred to some other department that then denied his RMA.

Say that I got approved for a RMA and when they receive my phone they don't spot any problem? Will I need to pay the full price of the new phone they send to me?

Has anyone had to return a phone to Asurion that was rooted and they not accept it? Glass was OK but inside cracked and would not light up so could not unroot before sending. Did they try to charge more than the deductible after receiving the phone?
Thanks
Did you try what I told you to do? Hook up the mhl cable to a monitor so you could see the phone screen to triangle away and unroot. I guess not.

Thanks but you had to have told that to someone else. I should have thought of that. I don't know if they will. I just have not heard anything from them so far. It should make no difference to them. It being rooted has no bearing on the problem.
I've sent a lot of phones in for various reasons (clumsy) that were rooted and I have not encountered a problem.

Thanks that make me feel better. First time I have ever had to send one. Also first time I have rooted one.
They could care less.
You are paying them so if they did question it I would argue with them. You are right about not telling you about the mhl thing. Someone about a week ago posted the exact same thing. Lol.

Possible, true. Unlikely though unless you are going though in excess of 5 gigs a month every month. I have been using 3-5 gigs a month for 6+ months, never even gotten a warning.

If they boot me, they release me from contract. Easy enough to put it in someone elses name and have new upgrade options. Would be doing me a favor lol.

But you wouldn't keep the same phone number. Well don't think they would. For someone like me with 6 years with the same cell # would be tough.

Hello everyone I am a tmobile customer and had a phone that was stock and got caught in a boot loop the tech said the motherboard went out on the phone. I ended up buying a note 4 that was factory unlocked for a good price. When I got the phone it turned out to be a verizon note 4 that was factory unlocked. I was expecting the SM-N910H not the 910v that I got. The phone has a sim slot so I put mine in it and can make calls but since I am not on verizon I dont want all the verizon stuff on it I am thinking I need to root it and was wondering if it is possilbe to flash a tmobile rom to the phone I am told the motherboards are the same in all of the note 4s not sure if that is true. I just want my phone to work as it is supposed to and since the retailer wont take the phone back or and refund me I am stuck with the phone and trying to make the best of it. I dont want a paperwieght so any advice would be appreciated. I am not sure how to proceed.
Thank you all in advance
The bootloader is locked on the SM-N910V and can Not be rooted.

You can return the phone. Otherwise there is no thing you can do.
