Maybe but that is just dumb and asinine. All tracked issues should be looked into and verified no matter now small or how many people it affects.

500 out ofâŚhow many millions?
The Galaxy S3 (???) had an issue where the screen would suddenly crack. People reported it, but the number of people who had that happen was too small for Samsung to consider a recall or even fixing them.
I can understand not recalling the whole line of phones for that because it isnât feasible but surely they covered that under warranty?
cough bendgate cough
7 iphones were affected and it almost forced apple todo a recall

How do you proof that the screen cracked on its own? Unless itâs a warranty like HTCâs (1 free screen replacement per year under warranty) I think itâs unlikely that a company does that.
drops phone
screen cracks
âLook! It cracked on its own!â

wouldnât the type of crack be different? the pattern of a dropped phone wouldnât look the same as one that was cracked due to stress from manufacturing.

rossman asks the same thing. He used todo iphone repairs and his storys about them are amazing XD
Customers coming in all the time day after a screen replacement complaining about selfcracking screen but they have a very obvious impact spot
also like @Michael said. a defect fracture tends to be straight while impact fracture will spider web

I wouldnât expect them to do that much investigation.
No idea how itâs handled in other countries but here they donât send your phone to the manufacturer when you bought it from your cell provider. They have contracted repair shops and some of them are utter useless.

Yeah. If thereâs additional damage that wasnât there before, then youâre out of luck and talking bs.

Its mostly the same here but even if that is the case there is nothing stopping you from bypassing the cell provider and going straight to the manufacture. in my experience is usually works out much better as well.
Depends. Some tell you to deal with the seller first for a replacement (Razer did that when I contacted them, although they also told me to contact them again if Amazon didnât replace it).
My cousins both had the same issue with their Xperia Z1 Compact and they had to let the cell provider try to fix the issue 2x before they were given a replacement (the issue was the flash shining into the camera sensor due to a piece of plastic missing in an early production series. the repair shop was full of idiots cause my cousins always got it back with the report saying âfixed - software updateâ or just âfixedâ).
Iâm not surprised. I had an Xperia Z1 Compact or should I say 4 because the damn things kept fucking breaking. Sony really cheaped out on those.

Yep the xperia play did look very interesting, was kinda doomed to fail like the vita was though and donât see sony going that route anytime soon.
Maybe? I had an Ericsson phone in the past and it was fairly good but honestly my family keep getting xperia phones and all of them have been alright apart from my Z1 Compact.

The only 2 Sony phones I know had known flaws are the Compact Z1 and the E5 (overheating CPU).
But I had a Sony Ericsson that wasnât that good either (W980) which had some booting issues despite getting fixed a bunch of times. Expensive little fucker for what it was.
It went the same way as the Ngage. Sony didnât learn from it with their dedicated gaming handhelds.

lol the N-Gage. to give Sony credit the Xperia Play actually does work pretty well as either a phone or a gaming device whereas the N-Gage was just bad at both.
was going through GPUs and my GTX 260 ES is more rare than i thought and also has Eng Sample etched on the IHS which is cool

Still not that much of an improvement imo.
The Ngage had 2 big flaws: the games were expensive and you had to remove the battery to swap them, and the small screen.
(not even mentioning the weird position when youâre using it for calls)
The Xperia Play felt like a PSP Go with phone functionalityâŚbut also half-assed (but thatâs also how the state of Android was before 4.0).
