today i received my 4th lumia device. the first 2 got a white dot on the background purchased new and sealed from ebay)
the third one seems to have a none functional compass, very bad sim tray and a shadow spot (darker area on the screen).. i got this one from negri
the 4th is from newegg. have serious screen sensitivity issues and felt the whole hardware unstable. the screen inverted colors for 1 second then back to normal. i was able to see a very thin white line on the bottom edge of the screen, not visible during normal use but i can see it when u tilt the device.
all these defects came on arrival and i was able to discover more hardware defects with every day. as if switching to windows 8 wasn't hard enough for me. not to mention the horror stories from everyone else here and how fragile the device is.
what do u think guys? should i try a 5th time!?????
edit:
i got my 5th device from bhphotovideo.com it is the 1520.3 version! crossing fingers!
with 5 minutes of using the 5th device it seems flawless! no white dots and screen sensitivity is set to high and no issues so far!
edit 2:
it is us lte bands 1520.3. i tried to use manual network and choose 4g, but it didnt give any signal...will check again and might return the device as well. all other devices in the room have lte/4g.
edit 3:
it is just at&t. i tried another sim and it worked out great. so far so good. and the screen sensitivity seems fine (even on high)
edit 4:
i noticed that the device speaker is making some kind of pop sound when ever any music or sound starts, then followed with pa sound. if you put ur ear very close to the speaker u will hear a static sound for 2 seconds followed by pa sound.

lumia 1520.3 is out of stock from newegg, negri, and b&h.. so i got the 1520.1 from amazon.. yes again. i will return my previous device once i receive the new one. if anyone wants any pictures or details or any kind of test while i have the 1520.3, let me know..my feeling tells me that this device wont have any defect (except the flimsy sdcard/nanosim slot and sensitivity error which was common in all devices) BUT i feel i will get all kinds of issues soon after a while. all devices so far are DOA! the pictures attached are for the first device i bought with defective white dot, i sent those pictures to the ebay seller when he requested to see the issue via picture; i thought i share it with you guys as well since people are starting to doubt.

the 6th device is 1520.1 and it have a very strong and apparent yellow/gray tint to the screen. I would never guessed if I didn't have 1520.3 to compare directly. This is really a turn off to see the quality varies drastically from region variant to another. Also the buttons on the side are easily clicked when you hold the device. Yes guys you guessed it, I'm returning it as well. i uploaded a picture comparison between the two devices. I don't even need to point it out.
Conclusion: I had enough of bad quality control to defective products. Also there is a clear discrimination between different variants. I will return both devices very soon (i have them both now) so if anyone wants to see the difference between screen quality let me know.
