Just noticed that if i put my finger on my camera lens and move it the whole camera and bezel move a little bit and even makes a clicking noise. Is this normal and does you're guy's do this?

Anyone? Pretty sure it didn't I've I've this when I get it. I'm hoping there's some way u can tighten it up?

My only option is to have Verizon send me a refurbished phone. Do you think I should? The lady at the Verizon store said that since the s4 just came out that the refurbished phone would probably be brand new. Should I take the risk? I mean, if they sent me a refurbished one and it was scratched etc I'd send it back and tell them send me a different one. Wouldn't send them my original s4 until I made sure I was happy with the refurbished one.

I'd send it back. There would be no scratches on a refurbished phone. They have new screens on them. They are rebuilt and go through inspection. Honestly it would be no different than the one you have now.

Hope you're right.. Does the refurbished one have a warranty? I think my new one has 1 year.

Yes you will still have a warranty on it. You'll be alright, just make sure if your rooted you return it to stock before you send it.

Nope, I'm not rooted. Just idk why my camera started to wobble. Maybe I cleaned it too hard with my microfiber cloth. So lame.

What would happen if the sent me the refurbished and didn't mail the original s4 to them and just kept both? I'm wondering just out of total curiosity.

Hey, at least with a refurbished phone I could test it for a couple days and make sure everything seems fine before I send my original back to them..

I posted in your other thread. I share the same issue. But I live with it because it's not worth the hassle.

Both of my Sprint S4's were like that. Thought it was just the way it goes until I just saw this thread and checked my Verizon S4 and it's superb. Interesting. We'll see if my replacement S4 on Sprint has the same thing my others did. Nothing good seems to come from or to Sprint. Lol.

Not sure if this will put your mind at ease but I just received a replacement phone as my earpiece sounded like a blown speaker...very annoying. The replacement had a screen cover indicating that it was certified like new so I assume it was a refurb but it looks and performs perfectly for me. No issues in five days so far with the replacement *knock wood*.

Like new cert is a refurbished. You can compare the back inside sticker to stock and tell it's a refurbished.

Ok well I guess I'm happy. I called Verizon and they are shipping me a phone and it will be here tomorrow. They let me change colors too. I have a black one but I think the white looks cleaner. He also put it in the notes that I would prefer a brand new device instead of refurbished. I'm definitely going to check everything on the phone tomorrow. Speed, build quality, battery temp, call quality and benchmarks. If all of that checks out then I'll keep the new phone and ship mine back.

How do you think this sold on Verizon?

Any indications? I have only seen a few people out and about with the N2, much more s3s. Verizon is so picky about picking up phones, I don't want any problems with them getting the Note 3. Now only if they weren't the last one to get it like the Note 2.....

I think they sold great. I saw many many people in my daily commute trains with Note 2. Surprisingly, many are girls with verizon white version.
I see people with N2s all the time. Might be areas had less advertising? I do see people with more S3s than n2s though. I would say I actually see more samsung phones than iphones now a days.

Mostly based on area for that it's the other way around for me only seeing iPhones everywhere I go but see maybe 2 Android phones.

Exactly, I see more Sammy phones in my area than iPhones now. Before the release of the S3 and Note 2 it was the other way around. I predominantly see people with AT&T and VZW Note 2's, a few S3's, and maybe 1 iPhone on my trips to town. In fact my local VZW store only keeps 2 iPhones of each size/color in store because they sell so slowly.
Honestly I think the N2 on VZW sold like hotcakes. Possibly as good or, hopefully, better than the S3.

Check Craigslist. Used GN2's STILL sell for $500+. I like to bounce around phones and try them all. What's the point when the N2 does everything? I'll probably switch to the S4 soon but that's not to say I wont get the N3 when it comes out. Samsung is doing it right.
Apple is losing market share, HTC is barely hanging on (sealed battery doors and no expandable memory - WTF??), and Motorola is doing it's thing. They build great phones but the locked bootloader is a NO for me...although Google is in bed with them now and recently someone "cracked" the HD/M military grade bootloader so we need to watch out for new stuff from Moto. But my money is still on Sammy. Same for my Allshare Cast, GN10.1, laptop, and TV.

I don't think that well. Two months after the release VZW knocked down the price $100. doesn't seem like they would do that if it was selling really well.
Every verizon store I went to in greater Orlando area never had some left. The flipcases for white were always also sold out but they had plenty of the itanium or whatever flips and 1-3 of those in stock.
Also on swappa theyre selling fast...and on ebay too so! Its doing well. Maybe some like me ordered oem parts and did a part switch to remove branding or its just hidden behind the flip/case.
Everytime I pull out the phone people comment about it, so I decided to stop bieng vzws free advertising.

Not sure where you're getting your info, but it's still selling at the release price of $299.99 and it's 5 months out. They might have run a sale or special on it at some point, but the website still lists it at $299.99 right now. It's more expensive than the S4.

I think that price is the only thing keeping it from retail bliss. Everyone who doesn't want the note to begin with thinks its an oversized S3. So....they would go for the s3 at 50 bucks versus 4x as much for what they think is nearly identical....when its not.

I purchased one also, and at full damned price! My main reason for that was because VZW and Sammy refused to acknowledge the radio issues, which made the S3 unusable at my house while the Note 2 gets as good if not better service than the Motorola phones I have used, and when I asked if they would send a different S3 out for me to test and see if it was just an issue with my phone they refused and offered to send me an original Razr...... I decided that I wanted to keep my unlimited, I had an upgrade, and actually be able to use my phone to make calls so I gave in and bought the Note 2.
I must say that this is the first phone I have been 100% happy with after using it for 3 or 4 months, usually something better has come out and I get fed up with the bugs but with the N2 I can fix the bugs myself, what few there are, and it is the first phone that has actually fit my hands perfectly.
This phone sold like hotcakes when it first came out in my town, for the first 6 months they would sell out the day they got their shipment of them in the store. They sold so fast here that the store had a list of people wanting it and they would call when they got a shipment, it takes me ten minutes to get to the stores and by the time I would get there they were all gone. Walmart and Radioshack were also always sold out so I finally just had to give in and order it off Verizons website. They still sell extremely quick here but now they usually have at least 1 by the time their next shipment I comes in.

The typical font size on the Note is definitely easier on the eyes than the iPhone or even 4.3"screens for me. My vision isn't bad to the point where I need reading glasses, but when I switch between phones the size of the Note is really easy to like.

I was at the vet the other day and this old man was there talking about how he was turning 85. Then he pulls out his iphone and starts showing me pictures. I pull my n2 out and he's like "is that the Galaxy note 2 or the S4?!?" He said he was so tired of how simple his iphone was and wanted to switch. Was so surprised someone his age new so much about phones. This guy was a true techie. Lol

Welcome to service and data everywhere you might be able to find one at a local VZW authorized retailer.
And to the second poster, why not? VZW has best coverage.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
Yes Verizon has awesome coverage, no denying it. But they are horrible about doing their worst to lock down thier devices. If you want to root make sure your new device is on the mdk baseband and so not allow them to update you.
As for the uag case, I have it and LOVE IT!!
I also recently swapped from sprint to Verizon. Much better service, you won't be disappointed in that department.

Dust under screen on my brand new Note 3

I wish I would have noticed this in the store but I got home and I was all excited to setup my new Galaxy Note 3 but there is a spec of dust as circled in the pic included. So disappointing but I'm gonna go exchange it tomorrow morning. Has this happened to anyone else?

It sucks because I've never seen this issue on any of my recent Samsung phone purchases including two S3's and one Note 2. My old HTC Evo 3D and my wife's Evo 4G would get dust under the screen but yeah I've never had this happen on any Samsung device.
It can happen. I've had it happen to a OG evo years ago.

I used to have this problem with my HTC phones ALL the time. Never with a Samsung phone. Hopefully this was just a isolated incident that happened during the manufacturing process
From my understanding, This should never happen on an amoled screen

It's too bad there are so many issues with this phone. I opened a new line on my Sprint account just to buy it but I ended up returning it today instead of exchanging it. I didn't want to take another chance and I'm going to wait until they work out the kinks. Just gonna stick with my trusty S3 for now.
hot damn.... that'll definitely be an eye sore -- try asking for a replacement or open it up yourself and blow it out.
though from the picture, it looks like bad pixel though.
Return, definitely!
It's not even a week yet. Who would actually accept that they just laid out hundreds of dollars for a new device that has dust under the screen?
never happen to me, feel really bad for you.
happened to me on my Ol' school EVO too... never happened on my S3. I see little gaps on my Note 3 (black) and hope it doesn't happen to this one.... but yeah I would be taking that back in a heart beat.

I'd just try to replace the screen. I'm almost positive you're going to get a locked down phone back from them. Or go on swappa and scoop another mdk s4.

OP - You will get an updated phone.
If MDK is of value, you are now off the ranch and need to go have someone replace the screen for you.
For the amount of the deductible ($100) someone can replace the screen.

The way I read the asurion person is they will send you a s4. If you get it and its not what you want (mdk). Send it back and cancel. What have you got to lose.

Yeah i have an MDK S4 on Swppa.com and there are a few more with MDK. The problem with getting someone to replace the glass is a lot of times they are just tempered glass not gorilla glass. Also, the heat needed to get the glue to release from the digitizer isn't good for the other components, so to do it right you need to take all of the components out. If the digitizer is also bad then you're looking at roughly $180-$220 to replace it and the glass.

Samsung S5 question

I think I am in the correct forum for this question, if not I apologize.
I just purchased a Samsung Galaxy S5, but there are a couple of things about it that is making me wonder if I got screwed on the deal.
I traded the phone for another phone that I had that I really did not use much. This Galaxy I got is model SM-G900F. I was told that my AT&T sim card will operate just fine with it. Well it does to some extent. It only shows H+ no 4g or 4g lte or anything. Also on the front of the phone it kind of reads SAMSUNG but its in some sort of "funky" letters. Weird. And there is no gasket on the back cover for water proofing. There is a cover on the USB port. I am just wondering if its a "real" samsung phone or some kind of knock-off???

Inform the seller immediately that something wrong with the unit you've got, most likely it's fake. I bet you bought it from ebay

A picture of it would be nice. Maybe a picture of the software too.

Here are the pics info of my s5. Wow not even a ultra power save mode or anything. When I go into the data mobile networks there are a lot of carrier options to pick from. I never seen anything like this on this S5.
Edit: not s5
that most definitely is a fake
So it is a fake? I will contact the seller hopefully I wont get screwed but think I already did...
WTF is MOLY.WR8.. and all that carp? It's not even flashed to stock before selling ? Wow

Is that old software? Can I flash a updated software? If its not a s5 what is it?
100% fake. No, you can't update it or flash anything on it. Return it immediately and tell the seller that it was fake.

I wouldn't touch that garbage any more. Be firm with seller and return it immediately.
This really sucks. I feel bad for you. Return it asap!

I been trying to contact the seller. I keep getting the run around. I since have put the phone I traded for it on att blacklist. I don't know what else legal I can do.

If you bought it on ebay you can get you money back. I had the same problem with a G4.
Contact the resolution center. I used pictures from CPU-Z to make my case.
