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.
Yeah happened on my OG Evo years back.

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

Ah man that is a return for sure!!!
My lens cover came off too. Just got it repaired, apparently I'm not the only one, sprint store was aware. They fixed it very quickly. I would have griped for a exchange, but they were out of stock.

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.

Good to have people on this inside however, that new Keurig might be good to have at the same time as your are opening your new Note so you can make coffee, stay up all night and play with your new phone!
Personally, I would rather have the Note being delivered than the Keurig.

So to make a long story short my note fell out of my pocket today while I was helping out at a fundraiser car wash. No major damage done but just a small nick and scratch on the top right corner on the screen and outside. The actual functionality of the phone is fine and I can probably live with it but this small damage is going to eat away at me. So I want to know if I call att and complain about something wrong with my phone will they replace it? I have ensquared insurance and I don't want to use my $75 deductible yet.
And I've had the phone for over 30 days too

First of all I was heading up the car wash to raise money for kids to go to a summer camp. I actually brought my atrix with me to swap sim cards but I left it in my car parked across the street. While running across the street it feel out of my pocket. Big picture I am grateful that no major damage was done but also that we all should be mindful how big this phone is and how easy it is to forget. Either way I've decided to just ride it out because any case that wraps around the phone will cover it up.

I cracked my screen I believe by sittiing on on it while in my back pocket. I called Samsung and they would replace the screen fro $197.00. Since I have a Square Trade warranty, I caledl and they could not fix the display so they gave me the full cost to replace it minus $49 decuctible.

Nothing a little duct tape couldn't fix! haha
But I dropped my first EVO LTE from the roof of my parents motorhome (about 10 ft. up) when it feel out of my pocket. I have the black tie protection plan from best buy and they ended up just giving me a new phone. I guess it was just too expensive or easier to just replace it. It fell flat on the screen and shattered the glass. Nothing else was damaged from what i could tell. I was surprised they didn't fix it though as it still responded to touch. I was even able to connect it to my tv using an MHL adapter and make a more recent backup before sending it in.
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?

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.

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.

This is gonna be a very profitable accessory I can tell already. People stuck with low internal storage capacities need a need a compact product like this to meet their storage needs. The design is quite suave as well which is a plus. I'll look out for it, hopefully the price point is acceptable.
I backed this as well, looking forward to receiving it. Should be perfect for heavy media use.

Should have been one whole piece of rubber or whatever they used for the hinge.
The issue (for me at least) was the rubber peeled off the plastic cover. I used a drop of super glue to reattach it. It's been 7 months and I've had zero problems with it. I think the phone looks butt ugly without the cover, so I'm doing everything I can to keep it.
