[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kautkto:
Hi there, I have a Galaxy S i9000 which the home button stopped working last night.

I suspect it's water damage so I don't want to return it, it's around 6 months old.

Would the users here suggest that I return it, or buy a home button flex and attempt to repair it myself?

If I'm advised on the second option where can I buy the replacement parts?

I have often been using the phone with wet hands, as well as in a hot steamy environment for the past 4 months with no issue until now.

I have some very minor, near irrelevant skills to do with electronics and it's limited to putting a pc together, and some soldering when I was a kid.

Any help would be appreciated thankyou,

Mark.

I'm running darky's rom 10.1 and darkcore 2.6 kernel
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stormito:
Me too, and i've read some people with this issue...seems to be a major hardware problem, disassembly and try to fix but no luck, physical home button seems to be dead :(. I don't know if buy the complete button or send to samsung, watch this: http://www.aliexpress.com/fm-store/...For-Samsung-Galaxy-S-i9000-Free-Shipping.html

:(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Larteas:
Happened to me yesterday, but the extrange thing is that I can enter the recovery using 3 button combo, so it is not a HW problem...

I tried to reflash original JVS, JVT, CM7 and MIUI but as soon as I pass boot animation the button doens't work...

Any ideas??
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtluis:
Your phones are probably still under warrany, there's no need to fix it youserlf, take it to your mobile service provider if you bought it with them, or call a samsung agency near you if you bought your phone anywhere else.

I've had my SGS for about 14 months and never had any trouble with home button I guess not everyone has that luck
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qemi:
Hi, guys.

My home button stopped working one day as well. I ordered this in AliExpress

It was ok for me. The item you can see it seems different or not original. But it is totally the same. Now I show you my old piece and you can compare. It is a little complicated to install, you have to be very carefully and operating with the right tools. If I were you, I would order two items, just 9$ plus and you can fail the first time :)

Mine:

[Nook Color General] Pauler1:
Hey,

I just downloaded the new version of Back Track linux and its really great:D

On their site they said that there is a version that supports ARM. Could this work on the nook? (Its been seen on other android devices such as the captivate)
[Nook Color General] tonygoes:
I suspect it would. I haven't had much trouble getting nook software to run on my epic - basically the same phone as the captivate.
[HTC Incredible S] tandfeen:
Hey guys

So i cracked my touch digitizer and decided to chance it myself.

I have taken some pictures of the phone disassembled.

So if anyone is curoius to see the inside of their phone, here it is...

If there is something you want a closer look of, just tell me and i will take a picture.

I haven't put it back together yet, cause i didn't know you needed some special tape to mount the digitizer...
[HTC Incredible S] NardVa:
Pretty neat. I rember taking my Nexus One apart. I got the digitizer and screen together. Didn't want to deal with the tape/glue aspect.
[HTC Incredible S] seamonkeySG:
Great job!

I was in the same shoe as you. Mine was a badly cracked LCD while the touch screen didn't even have a single scratch. Don't ask how I did it :)

Dismantling the LCD and the touch screen assembly was the toughest part. Seems like all newer and slimmer phones are using glue to fix their parts together. A nightmare for DIY.

I used normal double sided tape to put mine back together. Seems to be holding well so far. However, I am still looking around for better alternatives. Let me know if you find one!

I love my INCS!
[HTC Incredible S] Hawkysoft:
could you make close-up pics from the bottom leds that are being used?

im actually thinking of replacing them for blue or orange
[HTC Incredible S] Neolight78:
Was it hard to do because I have some dust under my screen and maybe give it a try.
[HTC Incredible S] RicarduZonta:
How did you manage to crack the gorilla glass??
[HTC Incredible S] VaalNL:
Yeah, i'm gonna try to replace my digitizer as well, i'm kinda scared to pull the screen & digitizer apart... I've read that you can heat it up using a hairdryer and that the glue will get loose, but i'm not sure if i have the guts to heat my screen up :p

So how did you manage to get the screen off?
[HTC Incredible S] seamonkeySG:
Don't think it is worth the effort and risk to just get rid of a few dust particles.
[HTC Incredible S] RicarduZonta:
Guys, using a hairdryer f***s the phone up. You don' need lot of time to overheat any metal parts and circuits and stuff break...

You think it isnt that hot, but works the same way like when u are in the sauna and your necklace burns your neck when it hangs apart from your body for a couple of seconds.
[HTC Incredible S] tandfeen:
I'm afraid i cant to that. I'm afraid of braking it when removing the tape wich is on it. The button "display" is 0,5 mm thick or so. Im not even sure it is possible to replace them.

Dont do it just to remove some dust. Not worth the risk. Its not that easy to take it off.

6 feet drop on concrete floor with the corner first. Even Gorilla glas cant survive that :)

After removing everything on the back i was able to push at the back of the screen in the top of the phone, and then get a little plastick tool in and pulled it of.

Its quite hard to pull off but the glass was already cracked so i just pulled a bit hard.

I was a little bit more carefull with the LCD. Its also quite hard to remove. Just took my chances and hoped the glue would give in before the LCD craced :)
[HTC Incredible S] Alasdairyee:
Cool story bro, I always wanted to know what's inside!
[HTC Incredible S] jul644:
Can you post a high res picture of just the mother board particularly the NAND flash of possible
[HTC Incredible S] shiftyllama:
I'm also looking for what I need to re attach the digitizer. Any ideas
[HTC Incredible S] hosecastro:
What did you use to glue the digitizer back on? I broke mine and waiting for new digitizer and housing to come in. But i have no idea what is used to glue it back on. Also wondering if the digitizer gets glued back onto the lcd or onto the housing or both? Thanks guys!
[HTC Incredible S] tandfeen:
Hey

I answered in the other thread :)

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jcase:
No donations go here, please send to a charity.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Lagos3sgte:
x2

but thank you for posting the rom. it will be very useful once we all have root.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ACD168:
I also agree. Cancer, preferably.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Stam2000:
So sense did get upgraded to 2.1? Does it actually have htchub?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] xgunther:
Let the Sense 3.0 porting begin!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
Nice to see you back in the forum! Lol
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bik2101:
any noticeable differences here using this GB rom? really just wondering about performance improvements - battery and speed.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ACD168:
opposed to what? the stock ROM?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] xgunther:
ACD168, make sure you update this after jcase updates his PlainJane GB ROM. The updater-script was a tad borked, and he's going to fix it today. Just a heads up.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bik2101:
yes. sorry about that. should have been more clear.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] khanam:
Did jcase post the update? I followed the trail but I did not see an update posted.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zozor:
Any update ? still waiting , is just what i can :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ACD168:
sorry guys, he's sick. will be posted when he's feeling better and has the time. please be patient.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mattwood2000:
I'm not able to boot this ROM for some reason. Gets stuck at the HTC screen. Logcat says:

??-?? ??:??:??.???: INFO/<unknown>(<unknown>): - exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -

Any ideas? I installed via clockworkmod and did a complete wipe of data/cache/Dalvik.

Thanks, Matt.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TB13:
It doesnt work for me either. It boots half way then takes me into recovery.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] xgunther:
Wait until the OP updates this before flashing. The problems are known, and are being fixed.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ACD168:
I had no problems with this booting.. strange.. I have .4 but can't give it out yet. sorry folks.ill keep ya posted.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ACD168:
can someone give me an MD5 of their download so I can compare it to mine. thanks
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cambunch:
MD% in the original post.

Does the OP have the updated ZIP?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] khanam:
md5 for zip in OP is not same as on android police but i think the OP zip is newer. however, i get kicked back into recovery too.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PapaDocta:
boots up file but then gets like a million FCs and won't even launch the account setup wizard!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Meltdown03:
Did you wipe data/cache and format /system? I assume you have to.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PapaDocta:
yep many many times
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zozor:
Not yet , i still believe ,is in processing
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ACD168:
I've had zero issues with this. but it's still not the official as its 2.18.605.3 and the OTA is 2.18.605.4 it's close but eventually this ROM wont matter. I added an MD5 to the OP, see if it matches before installing, if it doesnt match let me know so I can re-upload this. thanks guys.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ACD168:
relax guys, this was something I did for you guys, I don't even use it, I checked it out to make sure it worked and all was good for me, I don't suggest you flash anything without checking the MD5 first, so if something gets messed up that's your fault for not telling me they don't match up. If they match up, then don't use the ROM. sorry I have nothing else I can say. I'm not a dev.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] KratosAurion:
I'm having the same FC issue a couple of people are having when trying to load the ROM. I checked the MD5 while the SDCard was USB mounted and it matches. I then tried 4.0.0.5 recovery (the one xgunther posted), and before that the 4.0.0.4 Recovery for AlphaRevX. And yes, I did format data/cache, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik before flashing the ROM, but no success.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ACD168:
Sorry to hear about all the problems guys, I guess im gunna pull the link for now.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Meltdown03:
I downloaded the one from androidpolice and flashed with NO WIPE, only problem is no mms led notification.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ACD168:
That has nothing to do with me. that is jcase's ROM. too many people have been having issues with this so I pulled it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] renehd2:
could someone with Google+ invite me please?

i really want to try it and see whats different to other social networks :D:p
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rafarataneneces:
I'm using Touch Key Lights right now

But EVERY TIME I turn my screen off the LED brightness turns back on

I'm using CM7 RC1
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rafarataneneces:
Do you know if the LED lights go back to full brightness after I turn on my screen?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] blackerwater:
No they don't. They stay at the setting in the app. Paul put it out its quality

Edit: this should be in the Q&A section
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rafarataneneces:
Ok I installed that program

I tried it before but didn't played too much with it

Do I know if I NEED the service running 24/7 on order to work?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] zimphishmonger:
If your using the app, yes the service MUST run. If its built into the kernel\ROM like CM7, then you dont even need the app
[T-Mobile LG G2x] blackerwater:
You shouldn't be running a task killer anyway. Android manages its services by itself killing system apps on a regular basis can make apps that need to be running in the back ground start again wasting battery. Plus your phone will act strange after awhile. You shouldn't use them.

Again this belongs in Q&A
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kdunn1994:
Too bad I didn't read this thread earlier, I figured this out on my own today, doing the same thing, I changed my brightness to 1 (the lowest it would stay lit) , I do think this would definitely help out on battery life.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rafarataneneces:
The Touch Key Lights app DOES NOT works properly with

1) Cyan 7 mod

I am using stock Android now, it works like a charm :)

One touch, and the program changes the value FOREVER (even after reboots, after I re-insert the battery...)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Kermode:
Anybody know what to do here?

Every time i start it, it crashes?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dumeister:
Mine did that at one time. Seemed like it was related to being plugged in to the PC. If you aren't plugged to your PC I don't have good advice, otherwise try disconnecting.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Kermode:
No, I wasn't. *sigh*

I tried going into apps and clearing cache and stuff - didn't help.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cramjammer:
Mine too. It worked first day i had it...now it FC every time. Very frustrating too. I've even factory reset, force stop, clear cache, etc. Nothing!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kuobob:
it happened to me twice, and I fixed it both by turning on airplane mode.

Hope that helps :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dsnuts002:
I have had it happen to me also... the first time it was a bad ebook... ball i did was remove all my books and cleared the cache, then re-added the books one at a time... this time i have no clue what is doing it...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] snorkelguru:
Awesome tip...was almost going bald pulling my hair out.

MyLibrary workaround

I found some information in another forum, where a member says he called ASUS - which told him it was a problem with the MyLibrary servers. Apparently, if there's an internet connection and the servers are down it crashes the app.

The workaround is to put it airplane mode. I did that and BAM - it will open fine.

Once MyLibrary is running in Airplane Mode, you can turn Airplane Mode off and the app will continue running. So you CAN read and get your emails. The servers are supposed to be fixed soon (within 24 hours of this post).

FYI, I had gone through - fix permissions ... and when that didn't work, cleared the data and cache for the app -- and when that didn't work, reflashed Prime!1.5 and THEN fixed permissions -- and was at my last step before doing a full reflash with a factory data reset before I found the workaround. Boy, I'm glad I didn't go that far :-)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JoshuaRead:
Same problem here. Just tried putting it in Airplane mode, and it didn't seem to help. It's really frustrating. I've scoured the File Manager and I simply don't know what's causing it to do this.

Edit: Wow, I actually found it from checking one more time. It was in a temporary folder in my Nook folder and it was a magazine. Crazy.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] DingieM:
MyLibrary crashes on files it can not "understand"

After having several MyLibrary crashing problems I think its due to text files being discovered by the MyLibrary. During some kind of app installation a log.txt was created on the file system. Unfortunately MyLibrary scans the whole file system for books and text files. It chokes on a simple log.txt for example.

Sometimes it crashed not so fast and I was able to quickly open the standard epub Alice in Wonderland (actually MyLibrary re-creates it after you delete it from the file system), and it actually opened the e-book correctly. However it crashed when it encountered the log.txt.

Still Asus should really quickly fix this, because when people have gathered a large library of ebooks and book text files, then it will be hard to notice a "violating" file...

Anyhow, the deletion of the suspected text file really took away my problem. The first time I tried with factory reset, but it didn't work back then. So don't try to do the cumbersome factory reset!

By the way, with ES File Exporer I searched for the suspected file and deleted it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Kermode:
So ultimately what's causing this is bad programming. :mad:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Kermode:
This essentially turned out to be my problem as well. But that is really pathetic. Other programs should be free to create the files they need without MyBuggyLibrary crashing on them - nobody asked it to scan them in the first place. grrr

Helpful tip though.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] reisa:
And what's most frustrating for me - is that I really like the way MyLibrary works. The 2-page layout in landscape mode is the most natural e-book reader I've held.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] aibo:
Mylibrary cash because of corrupted epub or when the name is too long or with unusual character. Copy all your books on a sd card and then delete them from the internal storage. Eject the sd card and then clear the cache of mylibrary and open again, it should work, then you can put your file one by on to see which one is causing the problem. Hope it helps, it works for me.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Kermode:
Or as I said when it looks at a file, which is not an ebook but the config file of another app.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] francosiu:
Yes, I also try to eject SD card, clear the caches and reinsert SD card to solve the FC issues.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Bazzz66:
+1 This solved the problem for me.

Looked at the @vibe app under ASUS cloud, it kept giving an error that it could not connect to the server. After airplane mode if functioned again.

Regards.....

I am planning to powerup my SGS II with 32 GB micro SD card. Few of my friends say using the full 32 GB SD card will slow down the performance of my SGS 2.

Is tat true ? anyone experienced it here ?

Thanks in advance :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmblazquezh:
It depends on the class of the microSD card.

Don't listen to friends.

I'm using a 32gb sandisk class 4 card and have no issues with slowdowns. The media scanner that runs when you first start might take a little longer to run if you fill the card up. But it wont make your device sluggish if that's what your asking.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyo62:
Just depend type of sd card you use.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nraudigy2:

The trick would be to store most of the user app data in the internal sd.

Store stuff like music and videos in the sd card

Well, I just ordered a 32 Gb Class 10 card from Amazon.co.uk and it has slowed my SGS II down. It's a genuine Samsung card. When I press the screen on buttons, any of them, it takes about 1-2 seconds for the phone to wake up. It's seriously irritating. I'm running a Criskelo Rom V38 (Gingerbread). Sorry for answering an old topic but it's informative.

I just downloaded Skyraider 4.2 on my incredible. I love it BTW! I do have one question about something I noticed and cannot find an answer to. When I type a text sometimes the send button does not turn black allowing me to actually send the message. It stays grayed out and I have to back all the way out of messages and then go retype the message. Then it will will turn black allowing me to send the message.

[Droid 2 Android Development] MikeyNick:
Okay, so here's my situation. My Droid 2 had a physical keyboard failure, so I had to get a replacement (yes, I stock recovery'd mine before sending it back). So, now I have new stock Droid 2, but it's been awhile since I've rooted/ROMed it. I'm still capable of doing it, but not sure what is good these days. I was running Fission 2.5.7 Black Edition. I was looking through the forum and it looks like Gingerbread was leaked, but there are no custom ROMs for it. I assume this means Motoblur would still be there and it would still be full of bloatware? I'd like to run Gingerbread but if i can only have it with Motoblur, then I'll wait for a custom ROM. If this is the case and I have to wait, do you guys suggest just going back to Fission 2.5.7? Or how does Liberty compare? Any others I'm unaware of?

Leave your suggestion and a reason why. Greatly appreciated!
[Droid 2 Android Development] JDunc:
I've been running Fission since the beginning of times. It's been solid for me and it is a good choice. Sure GB leaked but never felt the urge to try it. CM7 is being perfected as we speak and I will for sure try it out. It's been acclaimed as the best ROM for a reason.
[Droid 2 Android Development] phoffer:
Go for Cyanogen, it now has official nightlies, and I have been running it for about a week. The only issues left with it are incredibly microscopic, i.e. to connect to a computer, you must plug-remove-plug.

It is also the only ROM with all the Moto stuff completely removed (the other ROMs deeply hide it, IIRC), which is a major plus. Don't be alarmed that you must flash it from Froyo, that is related to the bootloader, but the ROM itself is Gingerbread.
[Droid 2 Android Development] JDunc:
So you can flash a GB ROM on top of Froyo build? Or at least in this case?
[Droid 2 Android Development] phoffer:
For CM yes, and you have to be on Froyo. The kernel was updated with the Gingerbread leak, and the 2nd-init method used to take over the bootloader doesn't work with the updated one, only the Froyo one. Here is an article on how it works by one of the main guys responsible for bringing CM to the DX.
