hi my friends were complaining that my voice was breaking and vv low during calls. took my mobile to samsung service centre. they opened it up and removed a white plastic part from near the mic. possibly this was blocking my voice. now voice is clear and no complaints. pls see attached images of part that was removed. pls tell me what is the use of this part and hope it does not effect any other functions of the phone, kindly refer to both images i have circled the white part removed in red. asked 2 ebay vendors selling this part for replacement they say that the stock of this replacement part also does not have this white covering and below that there is the mic. any thoughts

so many views, but no reply

Not many Samsung hardware engineers on this forum I guess.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varun.dhir:
come on guys you can do better. waiting for replies. i had the guts to get my galaxy S2 opened to solve this problem
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiFE1688:
Looks like just what you said, a piece of plastic that is used to insulate it, and/or block dust from entering thru the mic hole.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
Ah - that's the temporal distributor. When you speak into your phone it can take a few seconds to convert that to a digital signal, transmit it to the other person and then convert it back to an audible sound. The temporal distributor uses tachyon particles to convert the audio to digital AND send it back in time, so that there's less of a delay. It just means that people will hear you a few seconds after you speak, but no-one will know that unless they're in the same room as you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiFE1688:
Urm... Wow? My SGS2 can send out signals faster than light?

So it uses a Tachyon Digital to Analog convertor (DAC)?

Urm... where is the flux capacitor located, and if I travel at 60mph, does it take me into a tunnel with swirly lights then reappear somewhere else either in the future or past?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
No mate - that's at 88mph ;)

Incidentally, travelling faster than light wouldn't make you go back in time. Light is all about perception, not reality.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varun.dhir:
thanks but since this part has been removed from my phone by the authorized service centre, will it affect my phone in any way. i am really worried now and from where can i get the replacement for only this part. anyways i received the below reply from an ebay vendor selling replacement mics

Dear varn.dhir,

Dear friend,the plastic part is not have any specific use,please be assure.

Thank you for your attention.

Good day!

no.1-tech????

hi but my old phone plastic part also damaged thats why i ask is there any specific use of this part and is it there in all phones.

Dear varn.dhir,

My friend,our item has the micriphone there but don't have the white plastic part,you can change it from the old one in your phone,it is easy to replace.

Thanks.

Regards!

- no.1-tech
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dproldan:
That plastic piece is not supposed to be there.

There is another microphone on the top of the phone, you can see it in your picture, and it hasn't got the protection.

That protection is only used during production, the microphone is picked up by a machine using vacuum, so it must have a flat surface. The protection must be peeled off before assembly of the phone.

It is a mic grommet, it should be there.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrandLX:
So nobody else got this piece of plastic? Didn't check by myself...but also got this damn bad mic -.-
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rubenskim:
I had it. Just took it off and the mic is less worse now.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varun.dhir:
i think samsung service is taking off these parts on phones having the mic problem, anyone else planning a visit to Samsung ASS to get this sorted.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varun.dhir:
are you sure this plastic piece is not supposed to be there. have you checked your phone. seen a disassembled phone on ifixit it had this plastic on the mic. really confusing. samsung needs to answer how can they leave things inside the phone that interfere with normal performance of the phone
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varun.dhir:
why not give it a try but make sure the samsung technician opens the handset in front of you and returns the plastic piece back to you. unfortunately i was not returned the plastic piece. :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dproldan:
Oops! Sorry, I took a look at the service manual now. I only saw your pic before.

That part is called a grommet, usually made of rubber, it is supposed to absorb vibrations from the case and not transfer them to the microphone. Also helps to route the sound from the hole in the case to the microphone. Yes, it should be there, but it's not going to affect anything else but the sound quality.

Sorry for the misinformation.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varun.dhir:
thanks but it has been removed by samsung ASS and they have not returned it back to me, what do i do now. any dangers of product damage since this plastic is not there and from do i get a replacement for this plastic. thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varun.dhir:
thanks, i want to go through the manual. Please let me know where will it be available from online
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dproldan:
Here's the service manual.

http://es.scribd.com/doc/56542824/Samsung-GT-i9100-service-manual

Don't worry too much about not having the grommet in place. If your voice can be heard fine by the other party, there's nothing else to worry about.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiFE1688:
Except water and dust.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwk94:
Hey guys, i'm in the market for a new phone and I choose the xperia play, i will be purchasing it soon, but before then, i have a question about the touchscreen. How responsive is it compared to the ipod touch's touchscreen? The reason i say this is because i'm coming from an LG Voyager so besides my ipod touch, i dont have a lot of prior experiece with touchscreen devides and I want my experience to favorable and not something that's laggy and unresponsive and like the lg voyager's touchscreen can be. Thank you for the help you guys.

PS. For those of you saying that i should just go to the verizon store and try it for myself, i have indeed done this, but I didn't have enough time to form a good opinion about whether or not it was good.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panman9:
The touch screen on the play is great, in fact I actually prefer it to my Itouch , honestly I wouldent worry about it feels great to me
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwk94:
Awesome! Thank you very much! Just the answer I was looking for, i was going to ask more questions, but there's nothing I can think of at the moment lol.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] narflynn619:
I have tried my friends' iPhones but I can't form a solid comparison with the Xperia Play in terms of touchscreen. Yeah, indeed, the iPhone's touchscreen is sensitive, but it could be a safe statement too that the Xperia Play has a very sensitive and responsive touchscreen. It's capacitive so it registers even the slightest touch possible and the UI response is very smooth, thanks to Gingerbread.

I haven't had any trouble with its touchscreen yet (being unresponsive or so) but c'mon dude, comparing it with the LG Voyager you say!?!? OMG what a MISMATCH! The Voyager is damn old and has a resistive touchscreen. That could be the reason why you're saying it's not that responsive. Resisitive touchscreens prefer to be pressed down for the action to be registered unlike capacitive ones that detect finger movement over the screen.

PS: There is big difference between resistive and capacitive touchscreens. You should read them HERE to avoid mismatch.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cat_On_Droid:
Just don't put the phone to a couch or pillow and try to use plays touchscreen. It's strange, it becomes unresponsive and weak, but it's OK on the table (you have to put more pressure on your fingers).

Onhand its great.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yyz71:
I have the play and it's awesome.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwk94:
I understand the difference, i was just stating that i am coming from a voyager and resistive touchscreens suck.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solitarymonkey:
not only is the screen nice and sensitive (and looks tasty too), it has 4 point multi touch (which i had no idea about until i ran a multi touch test) which is very accurate and makes apps like google maps so awesomely easy to use, it's amazing!!

i get a bit excited about the screen on the play as i came from the x10 with glitchy dual touch :P
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deoxlar:
It's probably the same as the iphone.. I don't notice a difference between them. But when I turned on my old htc touch... Omg lol never realized how hard I had to press the screen to get it to response before
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leraeniesh:
Coming from 3 years of using the iPhone, the Play is a HUGE improvement.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ammarcool12:
Multitouch upto two fingers is ok

But the screen goes mumbo jumbo when more than 2 fingers are used :S

Some serious touch issues have also been noted when the phones charging
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwk94:
Thank you everyonee for the helpful responses, I can't wait to get my play!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedyink:
I never found it unresponsive while charging or while setting it down anywhere. It's quite nice to use. Only downside I've found is it gets less accurate if you fingers get all sweaty.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] otacon91:
I think Gingerbread really brings alot of smoothness and responsiveness to the overall touch screen experience on the play and I must say in comparison to other phones it's damn smooth. I've seen people with dual core phones be impressed with my Play considering the specs for it are now considered outdated.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FK1983:
I think you have a dodgy Play as mine isn't like that at all, :p

I think the problem is that the superuser app wants to install an SU update but it fails and tells me that the zip file has been placed on my SD and to flash it, of course, that's kind of counter productive, considering that I need superuser to work, in order to be able to flash the superuser update.

Keep now if you haven't. Removed battery earlier and it was on, on recovery mode or downloading node then you have to borrow a ss battery from someone else!

So Im using the camera mod with the bitrate options and i was wondering if there is a way of editing the .apk to change the value of the volume key to act as a shutter rather than zoom. Ive managed to extract the HTCCamera.apk file, and opened some files in text editor and found multiple volume entries such as

"EVENT_VOL_DECREASE_ZOOM EVENT_VOL_INCREASE_ZOOM "

have no idea where to go, what to look for or what to edit though.

All I know is id be really interested in having this camera application with a volume key shutter button. Nothing on the market works nearly as good as this camera.

You need to install the adb drivers for the u8800 if you want adb connectivity, the ones that come with the sdk are only for the google nexus development phones.

Your phone is probably one of the early swedish models with older software (and possibly older hardware).

Try putting an official huawei update zip to the root of the sd card and reboot the phone.
