Stylus feels funny on screen - Page 2

PolloLoco · #11 (**permalink**) 04-16-2009, 09:52 AM

Yeah, it was a big mistake not to put the screen protector on. I did with the screen protector that came wiith the phone - and the screen protector is definitely scratched. I'm about to swap it out.

I blame the stylus - there are times I definitely feel more friction than there should be. The stylus is the only thing I really miss about my old 6700.

HIGHMILLER: "the phone should still be under warrenty ive only had it since feb **********" 04/16/2009 09:48:43AM

Agent (Toni C): "What I encourage you to do is take the device to a sprint repair store and have the device checked out to see if the device can be fixed and that is covered under the insurance. However, if the device isn't fixed then they will contact the manufacturer an" d have another device shipped out to you. 04/16/2009 09:49:12AM

HIGHMILLER: "ok i guess i can do that ...." 04/16/2009 09:49:38AM

Agent (Toni C): "I would really appreciated it if you would." 04/16/2009 09:50:01AM Session Ended

eeww, bad rep.
1, it's a physical defect and they do not fix these phone in the store.
2, insurance should have nothing to do with it was caused by the stylus.

your may as well go into a store, hopefully they can give you a screen protector too.

hmmm... the sprint store was a freaking joke ! they told me that its my fault the screens is like that

and that i wasnt entitled to a replacement phone.
..

so after raising a MAJOR stink in the store ... low and behold who walks in a higher up ( from regional )

the expression on the guys ( the sales guy ) face took a nose dive like he was in deep pooh . lol

the guy ( james ) asked how i was doing when i told him how i was treated and i have been with sprint for 8 years and i feel i should get a new phone because of the hardware defect . james looks @ the guy helping ( or lack their off ) me tells him to get me a NEW phone not a refurbished phone

so i walk out with a new phone and was very happy that james walked in

so now im going to start looking for a new screen gaurd/case

wow, your lucky. it's sad it had to get to that level. I really think that qualifies as a defect. also I highly recommend recalibrating, and try to press as light as possible. (the calibration @ hard-reset always seems to take a firm press, but after customizations, it's better.)
I actually never use the stylus, just the reset stick.

btw,did the new phone come with a protector?
All i've been using so far is the stock protectors, but I hear good things about these http://shop.brando.com.hk/prod_detai...d=&cat_id=0018
and have been meaning to order, so I guess, there's no time like the present..

I don't know why you would call in to get it replaced anyway. If you get a replacement through assurion there is a dedutible but if you go through a sprint store it's free if you have insurance. The only thing they don't cover in the store is water damage and loss or stolen phones

yea ive all ways pressed EXTREMELY soft when using the stylus ive got the that came with the new phone .... im looking for a custom fix 1 so i dont have to cut or trim anything .

yea it's pretty sad it had to come to that just glad james walked in ( he gave me his card and cell number just incase i have any other issuses ) from what i can gather my local store has had lots of complaints
