I got a Samsung S4 for my wife just came yesterday she wanted to switch from Iphone,it was her Christmas gift, got it in mail activated it and put it to charge the screen is black and when contacted Verizon, they said it bleeds never dropped it nor did any damage to it.
I did not take any insurance or any additional coverage. Been with Verizon for almost 4 plus years but i think i will have to say Good Bye in case they don't resolve it.
