Dropped Optimus S; touchscreen quirkiness?

[Axe]

A few days ago, my Optimus S slid out of my hand and took a right-side-up, vertical drop of about 4 feet in a TPU case onto carpet. Is there a surefire way to determine if the touch sensitivity has changed? I feel like different screen areas may be responding differently, but nothing concrete. Maybe I'm imagining things? It's running Reborn, and for the first time today, the screen actually froze up and required a battery pull.

If something did get loose, is there anyway to adjust it?

i would go back to stock everything and take it to sprint lol (make sure to remove/copy to your computer info on your sd card that came from using apps that require root, such as any nandroid backups (clockworkmod folder) and titanium backup as examples

easiest way to go back to stock recovery/rom is by flashing the zip from sprint to go back to VD *do this twice*, dont forget to toggle signature verification to off the first time you flash it-update.zip from xionia recovery (2nd time, update.zip from stock recovery) stock recovery gets reinstalled during the first flash but you wont have data, which is why you need to flash it a second time using the stock recovery


see this thread http://forums.androidcentral.com/lg...sprint-zvd-froyo-downgrade-now-available.html to get the update.zip

Any idea what Sprint will do to assess the hardware? I'm not interested in a refurb phone, when I know this device was otherwise working fine.

The only thing that stood out to me now was if I start scrolling numerous times up and down the settings list, or the apps draw or back and forth with the home screens, after so many smooth swipes, it'll catch for a split second. Does this behavior happen to anyone else's phone?

I know locally we have a corporate sprint store. If you take it there (versus a standard store which are privately owned), they can give you a new phone on the spot. Call the nearest sprint store is find out where the closest corporate store is, it really makes a difference dealing with people with the power to actually help you directly instead of having to send it off.

I will only deal with a corporate store. So much less hassle when things go wrong.

Always happy to help, hit that thanks button if I did

While I do have insurance (sometimes I wonder why), how much will this cost me to get a new phone instead of a refurb, and the hassle of getting them to apply an extra monthly $10+ credit when a new activation causes the plan price to go from 69.99 to 79.99?

Also, I presume from the into in other replies that not all Sprint stores are corporate stores. If the Sprint website lists a store location as one that deals with repairs, does that fact indicate a corporate store?

No it does not. In fact my local corporate store sends me down the street for repairs. And tells me if I they cannot fix it have the repair store sign off on that, bring the phone back to them and they will replace it on the spot. I had issues when I first got this phone and went thru this, and did end up getting a new phone vs a refurb.

So, they should be able to tell me which store I can go to for a repair? What chance will a new phone be given on the spot? I've had this one since December (after a few Radio Shack replacements - decent service, btw). The new phone will likely have the new screen without support for the V9 recovery. Was anything better or worse between the or new phones?
