Maybe a silly question... When you change the complete screen. Is the home button a part of the new screen? My screen isn´t very good but my homebutton doesnt work at all so I need to change booth of this.. Anyone like to inform me on this?? Thanks in advance! :)

screen replacement

Nice Tutorial there :D

I hope I dont have to do this to mine but as I have replaced screens on loads of devices it is always nice to be able to see inside the device BEFORE you actually just dive in and rip it appart and damage something.

Thanks

Wait so if I only want toreplace the chrome bezel, does that mean I need to buy a whole new screen? It looks like the chrome bezel is attached to it. My screen is perfect but the chrome around it has paint chipping off. Has anyone done this? Remove only the screen apart from the front frame

Avoiding question?

Hi guys

In this 17 pgs thread one question is asked many times but newer properly answered... Atleast I can´t find any solid answer.

How do I change the glass only, not the whole display?

I can´t find any pictures or good answers on this. Heatgun is no answer, only a clue :)...

I want to know if the phone has to be in molekules first or if I can just heat the glass and rip it of? Maybe remove the battery only

Is there any connections between the glass and the display (or how you say)?

Do I have to heat up the new glass before attaching for the 3M tape to stick?

Do I tape around the whole glass or just in a few places? Is the tape precut?

Is it stupid to solve it like this even though the touch- stuff is ok?

The one who answers this answers the single most asked question in this whole thread :)

Great thread!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] NoOneCanHelpMe:
I couldnt find anything specific as well except may be this video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6Y6an6D2PE&feature=youtube_gdata_player

The glass is pretty shattered, from what I could see is that if u use heatgun and start lifting gently from one side and heat constanly u should be able to lift the glass to which the screen is stuck with adhesive as well, I think. Then u could probably separate the glass from the screen and stick the new glass back, but not sure. Someone should contact ifixyouri and ask them about specifics :)

Alright guys, need some help here. I went here:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1155623 and followed the step 1 exacly as told. Using Galaxy s 4g..the odin stated a pass..but the phone turned off and it won't power up no more..could somone have any idea on this?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Only flash roms for the SGH-T959V and not any other model

First look up in the bible (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1117554) the guide on how to get into download mode. Your phone will hopefully get recognized.

Second, look up raver's KC1 cleanup. Search for raver, you should find it. That should get you back on a clean SGS4G rom.

Third, don't install ROMs that wasn't made for your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] QUIETLYloud:
Perhaps because it's not made for this phone... From my understanding, you should never use anything that's NOT made specifically for this phone.

Despite the similarities this phone is very different.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Kirthaal:
So preatty mutch it's dead now right? since it won't power up
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mike-y:
yeah, flashing roms made for other phones is a good way to kill the Galaxy S 4G. never flash a rom that is made for another phone. it might still be recoverable though.. look up the posts on unbricking your phone using heimdall, maybe you can find something that works.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Exodian:
Not necessarily. There is always a chance on getting Odin to recognize it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
Ouch, should've read around the forum more. :T

Does Odin recognize your phone at all when you plug it in? Try the methods to get into download mode and see if Odin recognizes it. If it does, you might be able to restore your phone.

If that doesn't work, try this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1220181&highlight=debrick

I haven't really read that thread in detail myself, so maybe others could help you out on that.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Open odin on your computer.

Do a battery pull. Put the battery back in. Hold vol + and -, then plug the usb cable in. If Odin recognizes it, you're in luck.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lordxavier:
You should at least be able to get to download mode. When you say it wont power up does it at least show the battery image with the USB plugged in while off? If it does you should be able to hold vol down and power to get to download mode and use ODIN to flash a new ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nazcalito:
If it's a blank screen and Odin won't recognize the phone look up raverx3x 's tutorial on how to re-install the correct bootloaders using Heimdall. It worked for me. I can't give you the link because I'm not at the computer now. Once you get the phone to boot you will probably have to flash back to stock using the KC1 cleanup rom and go from there.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bbobarino:
Wow I live by a very simple rule when it comes to flashing READ this phone is sooooo hard to hard brick. I feel for u I thought Raver had a post on debricking a hard brick without using jig? U can't even get any back lights or splash screen?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
assumeing he didnt try
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] farwek:
I had problems b4 similar to this. Pull the battery, plug in USB, hold down volume up and down at the same time, then put battery back in without letting go and see if that works. If not go to the forum that you flashed the wrong Rom and see if they have a different button combo for dl mode than we do.

Hope this helps

Hi all

Thanks in advance for any help please provide links if possible. So I've finally stopped waiting for Nokia and then Nokia/Microsoft to get their act together and jumped on the android wagon. It seems android has everything I'm looking for (sync to outlook, office document viewing editing, etc not Garmin yet though).

Anyway I've been doing research on the Samsung galaxy s2 and found some discussion on the 3G modem/antenna being penta band. Is this true? If so can I get links, also how do you enable all the bands? Or can you enable those bands that pertain to the firmware and have to keep the other bands on the phone so if you need them you can flash.

Side question I played with a korean S2 and saw that it has NFC on the apps (out of the box). I'm pretty sure this is true but I'm having some doubts as the FAQ and some other forum member claim that no current S2 has this feature.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Electroz:
It's quad band 3G. 850/900/1900/2100. It does not do 1700.

From Samsung.com:

As for NFC, the I9100 does not have it. I'm not sure if any of the other Asian models (different model numbers too) have it or not.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dc5dd:
I heard that the modem intel x626 gold is penta band (unconfirmed) that is in the galaxy s2. Also the tmobile version is coming out which has 1700mhz this might lead me to believe that it is penta band in hardware and only needs software.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
Only the korean version of the s2 has NFC.

No other version has it as cell phone providers are thinking of releasing it attached to the sim card as soon as the technology has stabilized and is widely available in a number of countries.

here is some information about in this blog.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dc5dd:
the sd card sounds like a good idea as a aftermarket part but I thought I saw the SGS2 with NFC on ebay as the I9101. what would happen if I had to add extra memory to the phone?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dc5dd:
I emailed Brian Klug that did the review of the SGS2 on Anandtech.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/4686/samsung-galaxy-s-2-international-review-the-best-redefined/

It is one of the most in depth that I have seen but here is what he says about the SGS2 being penta band.

"XG-626 is compatible with more bands, however the limiting factor always is whether the device manufacturer has provided the power amps for those other bands, and in this case there aren't more."

Your list has made it incredibly easy to list out all the apps (I usually have to go through them one by one and try and figure everything out, usually takes 1-2 hours per phone :()

Anyways, I can't test it as I don't have the phone yet but Bloater should be setup for it. At least for the apps and stuff. I'll have to add WiFi calling later.

Test it out and let me know what works and what doesn't. I tried not to include anything I wasn't sure about or anything that could be potentially harmful to remove.

If it doesn't recognize something as installed or uninstalled it just means my MD5s mismatch what it was expecting, easy fix.

Install it as a normal APK

[HTC EVO 3D] SpartanEvo:
As you may already be aware of: With TEP, you will have to pay the $100 deductible as the device is in Tier 1.

From personal experience: Unless the scratch is absolutely unbearable, just leave as is. The screen (digitizer) is a ***** to replace yourself and costs about $50.00. A new front housing w/ LCD & digitizer on Ebay are about $80 w/ shipping... if your comfortable opening your device up.

You'll likely be replacing it regardless in less than 8 months when the next EVO predecessor comes out. $100 for a scratch is steep...

By the way, I still have the scratch on mine :p
[HTC EVO 3D] aagbulos:
Alright. I guess I'm going to have to bear with it... The scratch just "happens" to be right smack dab in the middle of the screen. Son of a! My original EVO was immaculate too. I even ordered a screen protector from Amazon juuuust in case. Murphy's Law. Lol

Sigh...
[HTC EVO 3D] nas02302:
i would leave it the way it is

even if you have TEP with sprint you will need to pay $100 insurance deductible

and if you brought it to sprint repair center they will only replace your screen if its black or white, and the screen is a pain to replace.
