[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
You're obviously not talking about the white water damage indicator sticker. What damage indicator are you talking about? I opened up my phone and I didn't see any damage indicator other than blue material on the screws.

Can you explain what damage indicator you are refering to, and where it is located? Maybe post pics?
[Vibrant General] lotherius:
I dunno, really... $130 deductible for a phone that sells for $200 on ebay.... doesn't seem too bad for me. Costs less to replace through insurance, nobody said free. And, one could *in theory* turn a profit if one "lost" a phone... not suggesting that kind of fraud, though, you could get denied insurance if you end up having too many claims.
[Vibrant General] joseph050607:
When u need a replacement u just need to call them and tell them that u bricked your phone. Then tmobile will actually replace it?
[Vibrant General] adamcooks:
Blue materiel on the screws is simply loctite. Idk about any"damage indicators"inside the phone other then the water one. My phone would not charge without applying pressure to the usb cord. I brought it into my tmo store, where they all knew about my ffc, and the fact that I had cm7 on it. They put he on the phone with some tech guy, who only cared that the water indicator was white. Sent me a refurb, I repainted and sent them mine back. That was 3 months ago or so. I have heard nothing, and paid nothing

You, sir, are beyond awesome.
[Vibrant General] doraemon6688:
the price of this phone is going down the hill, you can buy a new one for $200 on eBay?
[Vibrant General] bnielsen40:
So can you validate your claim of an opened phone "damage indicator?" I don't mean post pics since it sounds like you've never opened your phone, but can you link to your source?

I did a ton of research before making the ffc mod, and coming from you is the first time I've ever heard of it. I'm pretty skeptical - even the idea that they could tell based on the clips. Dropping a phone can cause all kinds of damage... I don't think they have detectives examining every device that's sent in.
[Vibrant General] 30000:
The opened phone "damage indicator" I was talking about was an umbrella term for the white/red damage indicator (which probably doesn't matter anyway in this case), the blue material on the screws and the clips inside the phone. I guess I should have said damage indicators. My bad, sorry for the confusion.

EDIT: And no, I have never opened my phone. This wasn't meant to be a post about anything regarding that sort of stuff (thanks for the passive-aggressive comment though, it really made me realize what a douche I am). All I said was basically this: If you have TMO insurance for the Vibrant, stick with it. If you don't, you don't need to get it. I just wanted people to be aware of that so they wouldn't get overcharged by TMO. That's it. There's no fine print. Just trying to help people out.
[Vibrant General] seedofchaos:
I went from g1>mytouch>cliq>mytouch slide> vibrant all from warrenty exchange all new because I b*tched non stop. Tmo hatres me prolly but they are excellent at making people happy. I havent switched. My vibrant since other than my bad USB port which took me hours to Odin it back to stock. Originally all the phones they sent me had major problems but still in the end was awesome because of the fact i never had to buy a new phone
[Vibrant General] bnielsen40:
Woah - chill out dude. I wasn't calling you a douche, nor do I think you are one. And I'm still trying to figure out which comment you thought was passive-aggressive. If you're referring to me saying that it sounded like you haven't opened your phone, that's because you mentioned you haven't done the FFC mod...thus sounding like you haven't opened your phone. I didn't intend any more to be read into that statement.

I was genuinely interested in where you'd heard about a damage indicator, since that would be very relevant to me and anyone else that's opened their phone. Your statements about it left little room for confusion:

Your certainty that the mod is "irreversible" had me concerned that I'd tripped something, which is why I asked where you'd heard it. That's all.

Again, I wasn't trying to be rude. I appreciate xda for all the help you can find here, and trollers are the fastest way to make something good like this disappear...we've already seen it with devs walking away, which sucks. That's the last thing I was trying to do.
[Vibrant General] 30000:
Dude I'm sorry man, I was way out of line there when I said that. I can be a douchebag to people at times and it's something I'm trying to work on. I respect and genuinely appreciate you for forgiving me on that snide remark.

I was talking about the mod being irreversible because I thought that the paint on the hole is some sort of special adhesive, but apparently I was wrong. If there is anything on the inside of the phone, TMO probably doesn't check for it. Short version: there is no internal damage indicator.

like that title states notification for text wont sound tried changing the sound nothing all others work tho ringtone for voicemail everything. just cant figure it out.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gio22:
Just to cover the basics,

Did you do the following:

1) Go to Settings, Sound, Volume and make sure everything is up?

2) Under Settings, Sound and in the Feedback area, make sure that all the appropriate options are selected?

3) Reboot the phone?

4) Use the volume switch on the side to go to completely silent and then push it back up?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gio22:
Are you on a custom ROM? I guess it is possible this is a side effect of a bad flash. Might want to try reflashing whatever ROM you are on. Make sure you backup first, but when you restore don't restore system data. Part of that system data could be your problem and you would just be restoring it, thus putting you in an endless loop.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjballar41:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TigerEnigma:
If you have root explorer or another file system app, check in your system\media\audio folder. Under the notifications folder, see if you have anything in there. I have had a bad flash wipe my ringtones before and had to download some I wanted. Just a thought:)

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jb7038:
(Using the latest SDcard CWM. Tried using the latest CWM through RomManager)

So I finally got my replacement nook and straight out of the box, rooted it and tried to set it up to dualboot by using prep-dualboot-0.1 after using manual nooter 4.5.6.

When flashing the dualboot, I keep getting this error.

..

..

E:Error in /sdcard/prep-dualboot-0.1.zip

(Status 0)

Installation aborted.

So I thought I messed up somewhere with the partitions and had no space so I decided to look at the available space through the nook settings. For some odd reason, it says 1GB as opposed to 3.x GB or so which my defected nook had. I already tried reverting it back with remove-dualboot-0.1.zip.

Heck I even tried going into do ADB and doing rm -rf /* while in CWM but it really didn't fix anything.

How exactly can I fix my partitions?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jb7038:
So I actually found out that...when I plug the Nook via USB to my computer, two drives come up (There is no SD card in it). They're both unreadable with no indication the capacity. When I try to click on it, it ask me to insert a disk. I can't even format /data through CWR since it gives me the message "Error formatting /data".

So I'm guessing I messed up my partitions badly to the point where reinstalling stock FW or removing the dualboot with the removal zip won't help. Any suggestions? Is it possible to wipe the nook COMPLETELY and just remake the partitions via firmware?

_EDIT_

I was able to install the stock 1.2 update. Though the space available now says 1GB out of 1GB free now. How do I get the rest of the space back? =/

Did you ask yourself this question before posting it? Think about it. It's a sliding mechanism. Have you ever seen a TPU case for a slider phone? No.

I have found a rubber case for both my Epic and my Moment

It was at a generic booth that sold phone stuff in one of the local malls

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pewe:
I am having an occasional but ongoing problem with loss of data from the SD Card in my Diamond II.

The card is an 8GB HC (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MicroSD-Micro...MemoryCards&hash=item3cb6213376#ht_1880wt_905).

Examples of the problem -

- I copied a complete directory of data from the PC to the card with the card in the PC. Data copied OK and was readable. But when I put the card in the phone the directory was still there but empty. When I then tried to re-copy the data to the directory over the USB connection, an error stating that the device was disconnected appeared on the PC - but I could still read other directories - so the directory was obviously corrupt - and could not be deleted from the card using the PC. I could delete it on the phone though.

This problem has occurred at least a dozen times.

- I have various music albums on the card. They show up in their correct 'album' on the phone. However occasionally after a restart of the phone some tracks appear in an 'unknown' album. If I delete the files and re-copy to the phone off the PC, they once again appear in the correct album. So it appears the MP3 tag is somehow being corrupted or 'misread'.

My question is - are these symptoms of a bad card, or is it possible there is a problem with the phone causing corruption of the card, and if so - what?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] braunie:
I would format the card (but I apprehend that you've done this already). If this makes no difference, and if the card works well on your pc-system, I would advise you to make a hardreset and/or flash a stockrom ...

Furthermore, to locate the problem it would be nice if you could test your TD2 with another card.

Good luck! ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pewe:
Thanks Braunie.

As I have re-formatted the card a few times, I don't think this will cure it.

The 'Seller' has agreed to replace it, so I sent it back today.

If I get the same problem with the new one I'll get a new 'branded' one and try that.

If that fails I'll have to try the hard reset etc. - but that would be a pain as I'd have to re-install the added software and re-configure it - but if that's what it takes......

Thanks again
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingwp1:
I have a weird issue. I got my keyboard dock about a week ago, but just got my transformer today. There's nothing wrong with the tablet, but the Dock wobbles and the W and S keys don't work. Anyone else have a weird issue like that?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seshmaru:
Apparently it's sometimes difficult to nest properly, have you tried connecting it carefully making sure it's fully locked in place? It should not be wobbly.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geekbabe:
I had to reseat my tablet in the dock a couple times to make sure it was connected securely. My W & S keys are working.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seshmaru:
btw try sliding the locking slider fully to the unlocked side, hold it there while putting the tablet in the dock making sure it's all the way in, then release the slider and make sure it fully locks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingwp1:
It actually wobbles even without the tablet in it. .t only does it when the dock is folded back to a normal viewing position.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seshmaru:
well if it isn't supposed to wobble and your W and S key don't work (an issue I haven't heard so far on the forums) your dock is probably broken.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuboBriff:
Hi Guys - great phone which I've had a week or so now. Upgraded from the first Galaxy S.

Now I must admit to having very good eyesight (sometimes wish I couldn't see finer details!) and..

On white / grey images (download the various screen test apps to have a look for yourself)

The screen, when on a low brightness, is "muddy" and demonstrates a few vertical darker lines on the screen with mine showing quite a prominent one in the bottom right heading up about half way up the screen.

This is mostly visible when the brightness is at a minimum (regardless of auto or the powersaving options)

When the brightness is turned up it is barely visible, if at all... looks fantastic..

But.. at this point I preferred the screen on the Galaxy S which, when dimmed was more vibrant and didn't have this "problem"

Hands up who can see what I see? Any darker lines visible on your white / grey backgrounds? a side effect of this new subpixel arrangement? totally normal? some pixels not as bright in a row hence darker lines?

What do you guys think?

Cheers, B

Yeah, mine set to minimum brightness and has some line artifacts like when LCD supplied with low voltage. (low brightness setting)

Easily noticeable when displaying grey colors.

I'm also using Screen Filter app, setting brightness even lower, some black points around 0.3cm is exposed at night.

Not sure those points are affected by anti-scratch film though.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QAM:
Hola

I can confirm that I see the same "line banding" effect when using the device with low brightness. Like others have mentioned I also use the free Screen Filter app to get even lower brightness levels especially when reading stuff in bed in the near dark.

I would think this is a side issue with having the Super AMOLED Plus type screen but I guess only a Samsung tech can confirm.

65" long exposure exposing some black spots.(digitally enhanced)

Lowest brightness + Highest brightness.

Wondering those spots are caused by screen protector or defective screen or limitation of current AMOLED's.

You can see there is some current leak.(It should be bezel-like black if it is ideally off)

Not sure what those black spots are... is your camera messed up? There's spots on the right even off the phone...

Also yes, pure black for SAMOLED still produces SOME light, but it's almost indistinguishable to the human eye.

Take a picture of a dark grey image on low brightness and it should show the bands the best...

ive tested pretty much all the kernels that xda has to offer, and i'm still bouncing back an forth between CWkernel and Tigers Blood FPScapped.

I'm one of those unfortunate souls that have a Vibrant that doesn't like the FPS being uncapped...and it gives me the shaky screen thing upon boot. No Bueno.

I just want a kernel with good performance, BLN, Voodoo Sound and color, and reasonable battery life. CWkernel provides this, but doesn't seem as smooth as tigers blood...plus Jocelyn no longer supports it.

with tigers blood, i get more of a battery drain than CWK.

I would also like a less invasive Kernel Screen like the B&W "google" that Jocelyn has put in CWkernel.

I would do it myself, given the knowledge....

Could someone point me in the right direction as far as compiling my own kernel? or at least suggest one other than the two described above?
