So its bothering the hell out of me right now. It doesnt look like a dead pixel, I see it when the screen is off. So its more like a piece of dirt stuck between the screen and the glass.
Its mainly bothering me since its a brand new device.. Should I just settle or do I bother to go back and exchange it?
I've never dealt with Sprint CS before. Any tips? Can I just walk in and ask for an exchange? I'm not the main account holder though, my sister is.

If you go to a corporate store they order a new one. Good thing for you since this phone is new that you probably get a new one and not a refurb. They will run test and probably ask you to do a hard/soft reset to see if that fixes it. But you SHOULDNT have a problem.

Hm sounds good.
What counts as a corporate store though? Any of the big yellow sprint-only stores?
Theres one near my campus but I dont know if I trust it, shady neighborhood haha.
I'll drop by and see what they say though.

PPMB Landing Page

Has anyone ever been redirected to this page even though you have 5gb of data on your line? I get this probably 3 times a day now for the pass 2wks and customer service or the reps at a retail store can't seem to figure out why I am getting this about 3 times a day now. And a reboot seems to help connect again but it shouldn't do that in the first place. Especially because I have 5gb of data and only used about 300 or so MB as of the 23rd. I have a brand new G2x phone, started since I got it on the 12th, but I'm on my 3rd replacement phone because that's all they tell me to do really.. replace the phone, replace, replace.. they have updated the imei everytime, had 2 new sim cards, factory reset so many times.. I swapped phones with my girl, she has the same phone.. but the problem continues to wherever the sim card goes so it has to be a network problem right? I've told them that too.. all they did was offer another replacement phone, and that one is coming Tuesday. It would lose data after 30min or so of usage. If anyone had this problem or knows how to fix please help.. thanks.

HTC 7 pro Back cover modifying

A few weeks ago i got a new back cover of the HTC 7 pro while mine was the paint going off. and i just leave the first one as it is, and used the new one for some weeks now and i must say its the same faulty hardware, the metal is good, but the paint is going so easy off. and i handle my unit with care, really care! now i have scrubed all the silver paint from the first one and it shines now like a new one. and the letters where fallen out to before i modified it. so if somebody has the same phone and problems, this is what you could make it to and for the future, HTC don't paint the back cover any more, please. with just a little sweat on it it goes easily off!
i uploaded some pictures, of one piece like it is before, one after. and then the two side by side...
The 'h' on mine has fallen off

Lines and spots

Just curious if anyone here is having problems with lines and spots in the screen on low brightness in a dim room? It looks kind of like brushed metal. I found another site with alot of people talking about it and it sounds like alot of people have it. Its not too bad on my screen but if its a known problem I didn't want to take the chance of exchanging it if I might get one its worse on! You can see it really well with a black background

Here's a thread devoted to the issue. No cure though. I've never noticed them but I get the impression they affect all our devices the same, just have to 'look' for them

I had some spots on mine when I bought it. Exchanged it right away. It was suuuuper mild but I was like "F that!!" and exchanged it. No issues now
Yeah I exchanged mine but still have the same issue.

Hey, I was wondering if anyone would be willing to give me their Captivate box as I'm selling mine to someone and they would like the box. Let me know and we could work something out.
Haha just threw mine out last week.

AT&T Box on Ebay
I'd sell my broke-power-button captivate and box for that ... almost ... I still rom swap on it for testing
Didn't know you could sell the garbage on eBay. I actually pay so people will come pickup my garbage. Funny!
Watch out for people putting bricks in them, tapping them up real good, then selling it for a Steal. Scams. Seen it with ps2s.

Can you link me the post, just to see, I have send it back, so no problem there, just wanted to see if others had the same issue.
I don't have it but it was on the Pixel 7 pro /r . Either yesterday or the day before, you'll find it easily.
Yes, well... so much for clean room manufacturing.
These may have been worked on by a fulfillment service to repair a mass manufacturer defect. I send it back for a full cash refund. This model has trouble written all over it... hell you can even take a picture of it.
