Catastrophic failure 30 hours after purchase. - One (M8) General

Screen went all wonky and virtually unusable. Rebooted it a few times and it never got better. I was going to factory reset it but this is what the factory recovery looks like which makes me think it is hardware related. Its been in an otterbox defender since purchase and I haven't had time to do anything that would brick it. I had installed nova launcher, widget locker, and my regular loadout of apps but nothing too fancy yet.
Just pulled it out of pocket and saw static. I guess its going back to Verizon tomorrow.

Maybe you forgot to pay your cable TV bill

Looks like your rear cable got loose. Just tighten that bad boy up.

Your BNC connector to the cable box is loose. Recrimp that bad boy on, good as gold and right as rain my friend.

Or return it for one that should work as it should in the first place.

Perhaps that was after a bird was sitting on the Ariel?
On a serious note hope you get it sorted, take it back for a replacement. :laugh:

Probably a special "feature Verizon added in.
Sorry I despise them, anyway, definitely return that sucker for a new one.

What is this, an iPhone?

Poor the HTC I+D and design team.. put on our hands an extreme beautifully designed device for people like you put on them those awful cases.. besides being the strength of the brand and model.

Evolution Keyboard not registering

My girlfriends rooted (MIUI) evo is not registering all keys. I have tried cyanogen and miui.us 1.7.1 and 1.7.8. They keyboard functions but misses I, k and n.
I noticed actually that it effects the screen keyboard or not and doesn't register in that specific grid. Any tips? We've tried reflashing and wiping data etc. Nothing seems to be working.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
When the keyboard isn't up, do those areas of the screen register?
No they don't.

Sounds like a defective screen.
If you have TEP the Sprint store can assist you.
Just recently occurred though. The device hasn't been hit with any excessive shock and the screen shows no signs of damage. Well see what we cab do though

It may just be defective.
Electronics fail.
My Evo's back button light went out the other day and it's never been dropped.
Happens.
Bummer. Guess I'll have to unroot it so she can turn it in and get it replaced.

Yeah, as long as there's no obvious physical damage it should be a very quick repair process.

Wait, So Uh, Is The Sticker Supposed to Be Taken Off?

See http://www.google.com/nexus/#/7 this?
Notice how the sticker on the bottom back is on? Was that supposed to be on? Because I removed it, and it came off really easily.
Nothing major, just curious.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Mine is still there, just too lazy to remove
No one can force you to have it there for eternity.
I guess it's important to have the CE label etc on the device when shipping to inform the user...

I still have mine on both N7's.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Its probably there as a requirement for shipping. On your phone you will see those standards,most likely under the battery cover, but you can't access that on the nexus 7 so instead of ruining the aesthetic having them permanently printed, its nicer to just have a sticker.
Mine is gone gone gone too..
Just like the tags on the back of my tops.. and Top of my skirts that tend to stick out..
As well as the tags on my mattress we bought not so long ago.. Its a ffc requirement by manufacture to put them there. If it were to be non removable it would have been like the STUPID ASUS LOGO ..
NOW MY Question is can someone get that off and PUT A Real pc manufacturer name there . Asus used to be the best out there . I really thought google would have enough control over the nexus to make it better then standard asus devices. Now they are no doubt a last ranking provider .. what a shame...
Mine either never had one or came off accidentally when I was unwrapping it.

I took mine a way when I unboxed it, it is not important
Really?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Dont take it off, its supposed to leave residue, otherwise you cant claim warranty :-o
Take it off! Then go rip the tags off your mattresses.....live a little!

I removed it and placed it on the box just in case it will be needed in the future.

Gap between top bezel and glass

Is this the way the phone is supposed to be? There's a small gap between the top part of the bezel where it meets the glass. I try to keep my phone clean all the time but there are quite a few lint pieces and grime stuck in that gap. The bottom of the phone is tight. Never dropped it. It is an RMA

I think you can snap it back. Press it gently and it'll close.

As you can see the bottom is tight with no gap. The top has a big enough gap for dirt and debris and no way to get it out.

Definitely not normal, you should probably RMA again if you can't fix it by simple means like the one posted above

Thanks for your reply. All this time I thought it was normal
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I have no gap on the top or bottom, and neither do any of the 5 others I know with N4s so yeah, RMA.
send that gaping gap back, son!
...before you get tiny creature eggs in them
Called google play customer service and started the RMA process. Thanks guys
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Not going well with my RMA. This was customer service response :
"Thanks for contacting Google. The*specialists*has informed me that the*gaps are to allow for expansion of the glass due to varying temperature and is an intended part of the design.
If you have any*further*questions please feel free to*respond*to this email."
Can some of you guys take some photos of your phones so I can send this robot? Any other suggestions?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Dude, I think even with photos, you would be hard pressed to change their mind. Cosmetic faults are always put down as subjective and not worthy of replacement. You should have told them that you were experiencing some technical fault i.e. frequent dropped calls.
If you aren't successful this time round, RMA it again with such an excuse...

I have the same issue but my gaps are much bigger and go throughout the whole screen. Dust and stuff goes in it. The front camera has a dark overlay whenever i use it due to all the dust that has gotten in there. I would RMA it but i bought it off a friend and im not sure if they want to accept it.
Here is a picture of a white door that i took outside using the front camera.

Its very dark and it has a weird dark overlay at the top.

Never seen this before...

So there's a strip going across my screen right where you would press to unlock it or where the middle row of keys is on the keyboard where the touch recognition has just stopped working...
The rest of the screen and phone work absolutely perfect except for this thin strip on the screen.
Any one ever seen this before where a certain point of the screen stops working ?
I take great care of my phone and I had used it to txt literally a minute earlier put it on the table and when a reply text came through I picked the phone up and this problem was there.
Factory reset didn't solve the issue so it's gotta be hardware. It's on its way for repair now.

Factory reset only resets your settings, if part of your Kernel or ROM corrupted itself then a factory reset would do nothing to fix the issue, try re-flashing stock or whatever you use.
I am afraid you're going to rma. Seems like mulfuctioning digitizer.

So far I'm loving this phone but holy bloat ware!! I noticed you can't even disable a small amount of it like you can on the S4 like flipboard. Other than that holy crap this is an awesome phone. I thought it was suppose to have 3gb of RAM...mine is barely over 2. I haven't done any searching on it but I think it's normal.

Maybe this isnt what youre wanting to do, but if you open the app drawer and hit the menu button, you can go down to uninstall disable. From there you can disable what looks to be about 60% of the crap that comes installed.

Your not actually going to see 3 gigs of ram there is always going to be some used by the system.
