I'm obviously being polite when I made the title but this is unacceptable. I've had several Maxx replacements and all of them have had their own issues either from the start or shortly after. My first replacement arrived due to my phone rebooting itself all of the time and overheating. Okay, no big deal and there were no rogue applications running. But here is where the fun comes in.
1.) Arrived in excellent condition but the ear piece speaker was blown and created static.
2.) The top left corner was pulling away from the device.
3.) The SIM Card door didn't close fully and wasn't flush. One side wasn't securing.
4.) The SIM Card door was loose, but that's not that bad as it closed. But the speaker was again blown.
5.) This device worked for a while, but began to vibrate by itself when in my pocket, on a table, or in a belt pouch. You name it. No damage to device, attempted factory restore, all failed.
6.) Received this week, seemed fine. A small chip in the chrome which I find unacceptable but I would be willing to deal with it if the phone was good. Big black splotch, dim, but splotch. And yes, I'm aware of the AMOLED screens flaws, but this happens at 100% brightness on a white screen.
7.) Phone comes in, scratch on the chrome again. Fine, but what the heck!? About to leave to go get dinner so I throw it on my dock. But wait, it won't dock! The ports are misaligned! I can plug it in without the dock, but when both require being lined up, it won't work. Well, unless you wiggle it upon inserting it into the dock. This will allow it to dock a few times than fail.
8.) On it's way...
Verizon offered me another Certified Like New Replacement such as the Nexus, but I declined. I need this battery and signal strength and not the weak battery of the Nexus. I've been told that Verizon does not offer new devices as replacements, but I'm about to make that demand shortly. Come on already! I've never had this much bad luck with a phone since the Storm. But the Storm was a terrible device from the box... Who refurbishes this crap!?
