[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] stockwell:
Is it the digitizer or the LCD? I was able to get a new digitizer with the metal frame for about US$50 from ebay.

I've been meaning to post a guide on how to disassemble the u8800 as well but haven't gotten around to it. I should get that finished and post it up soon.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jastonas:
What's the difference from the digitizer and the lcd?!

I only see one big crack on the screen, leading to 3 other branch-like cracks!

Screen works, but sometimes registers touches on it's own, and one part on the very side (where the big crack is) is completely unresponsive!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] smiley_nz:
Thats exactly what im looking for stockwell. Do you have a certain buyer on ebay to get them from?

I would be eternally grateful if you could post the guide on how to change the screen. What tools are required etc.:)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] smiley_nz:
The digitizer is the glass front. The LCD is behind it.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jastonas:
So, where can we get a replacement?

And will the photos/guide be posted?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] repvik:
My wife dropped hers so the glass cracked. So I'm going to buy this:

(unless someone finds a better deal).

A disassembly guide would be great :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] stockwell:
Sorry guys I've been busy with other things. I'll get the guide up asap!

Edit: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=1291974

It's not very thorough but it should help a bit.

Cheers Stockwell. Now to buy some tools off Dealextreme and Screen off ebay.

I finally got around my friends X5. I attach a screenshot of the broken screen. It is on the outside apparently as I can feel the scratches with my hand.

Are there any suggestions on what to get from ebay or elsewhere?

Thank you very much :)

Hello. I broke my lcd screen ( i hope it was only lcd ) and sent to the center, they wanted around 100 dollars, so on ebay i found 30 dollars and today ordered and now i am waiting for it, i hope , the true item comes and i can change it by myself..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motolio:
My mom called my phone yesterday, and I went to answer it but it stopped ringing. Then she called again and asked me who the hell just answered my phone, and why they only spoke Spanish.... I thought probably just a crossed line, but then I got a text the next day saying that international calling must be added by the account holder..... As if someone tried to make an international call? ? ? I'm on page plus, so there is no way to investigate... Has my Android been hacked through an app, and my esn stolen?

UPDATE: So, I changed esn's for 2 weeks and things went back to normal. But a few days ago I switched back to the android to test... Sure enough, just now, my cousin called but it stopped ringing. A few minutes later he called back to tell me that I butt-answered the phone. He could BBC world news in the background, talking specifically about mexico. It wasn't me, but someone accidentally answered my call again.

Hi guys,

No able to turn the device on,

to switch to a download mode, (tried all methods),

when connect to computer via ODIN comp doesn’t recognize device.

(battery charged, used other device for charging)

Help please!!!

thank you!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
You either have a severe hardware failure or a corrupt bootloader.

Since it's nearly impossible to corrupt bootloaders on our device I'm guessing hardware failure. Take it in for warranty service.

What were you doing with it before it died? Provide details.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] strychninetwitch:
I'll see your corrupt bootloaders and raise you a 10 kiloton explosion.

If you are using a Windows PC to run Odin, make sure that you have installed the correct drivers to connect with your phone. I believe these are proper:

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
I once had something crazy happen after a bad crash with an experimental overclock kernel for the vibrant on my captivate. the screen went black even in download mode. but the phone was infact in download mode just no screen image. it flashed in odin and restored me back to stock.

I know its an off chance but if you happen to have had a similar error and your drivers in windows aren't installed right then it may look like a hardware failure.

if you have insurance get another one. if you haven't voided the warenty send it to Samsung. if you want to help out development donate it to Adam outler. he wants something not restorable by normal means.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Blackberrynomore:
My Infuse recently did the very same thing. DEAD ON ARRIVAL! I tried all forms of CPR but she died an untimely death while attempting to flash back to stock. I had done that many times before so it wasn't anything I did wrong. I took it back to the ATT Store and they sent me to the device support center to get a new one. The new one is far more stable ans performs better than my original out of the box model. So just take it back and get another one or call warranty and they will ship you one overnight.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DevilDogAK:
Nice one. Lmao
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Longcat14:
Yeah, you just got a bad model, it happens.

At OP, if you have warranty with AT&T, take it back to the store, and ask for another one. If not, call Samsung, you can ship them your phone and then they'll either fix it, or send you another one.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] jo_hammer:
Depending on what you were doing, you may have hard bricked your phone. A usb jig may work for a soft brick but since your phone has no response whatsoever, chances are its hard bricked. Go to "mobiletechvideos.com" they provide a JTAG service that unbricks hard bricked phones. give it a shot
[Samsung Infuse 4G] millerja01a:
Why pay for JTAG service when his device is still under warranty? Contact AT&T or Samsung. One of the two will hook you up.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayjr1105:
Ok guys, I have a captivate and I am super familiar with rooting/flashing/kernels/modems, etc... I just got my wife a fascinate and I was wondering if I could use the same method to flash ROM's as I do on the captivate. I already noticed that my jig also works for the fascinate. Here is my method...

1. Put desired ROM on SD card

2. Get into DL mode (Jig)

2. Flash a CWM compatible kernel with odin

3. Boot directly into recovery (wipe date/cache)

4. Install ROM

I hunted for some good videos but it seems the fascinate gets no love on youtube unlike the cappy.

Also I was wondering if someone could recommend a good stable froyo ROM for my wife's phone. She doesn't care about GB or anything like that, just want stability and to be snappy. From a fellow galaxy lover, Thanks in advance.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
Actually there is a video on how to root the fascinate on youtube. Thats how I first learned. For froyo rom's I would look into geewiz or powerwashed ed05 1.2, you can flash the no kernal version then flash the stock ed05 kernal if you dont want voodoo. Both very stable daily driver roms per say. Although I am really starting to like this powerwashed eh09 rom by ccompos aswell. The tks kernal really woke the rom up. Only issue I have found is the flashlight app don't work and I thought data was crappy but today its been very good.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efan450:
You've got it for the most part, you have to Odin cwr, and immediately boot into recovery by holding up, down, power

until you see the 2nd Samsung screen then release the power but continue to hole both volume buttons until you get into recovery, you have to flash a non stock kernel the first time or the factory kernel will over write recovery and you'll have to start over, but most roms lately will contain a kernel so no needed to install the kernel first...unless the OP specifies that it doesn't contain one

You can enter download mode by connecting the USB cable to PC, or wall charger and removing the battery and holding the volume down button until you see the DL screen...the jig for the fascinate is normally for worse case scenarios...so keep it around but hopefully you'll never use it for the fassy!

As long as you follow the directions from the OP for what ROM you decide to run ie: some roms may require a specific recovery to flash properly, or Odin flashing to revert back, or other instructions specific for that ROM...that said I haven't been on a tw based ROM in a while so I don't have a suggestion other than experimentation and reading through posts of a potential ROM choice.

Whichever you run i'm sure your wife will love it, and if not, there are plenty of choices.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayjr1105:
Everything went good, but when I go to choose SD from zip it says "can't mount SD card" I cant seem to mount the internal SD either. Does it matter where exactly you put the ROM?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efan450:
Yes ROM should go on the root of your sd not in a folder But that is mainly for easy finding... Which sd card are you using...capacity/brand?...which ROM are you going to? and which recovery are you using and how did you install recovery
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayjr1105:
I ended up flashing geewiz because you could fully flash it with odin. Maybe its because my phone isn't activated yet but I'm having some difficulty mounting the phones internal memory. I cant get past the screen where you first program the phone. I have a kingston 4gb card. I tried powerwashed and followed his instructions perfectly but I think I need to get the phone activated so I can actually tinker with the OS.

I HAVE RDS LITE I FLASH MY PHONE TO THE ORIGINAL VERIZON AGAIN BUT IT DID NOT WORK. HELP PLEASE
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
1) Drop the caps. It's against the rules and is downright annoying.

2) Maybe can you call Verizon and see if they can manually program it, even if it is a dead number? Or have you even tried calling tech support?
[Motorola Droid 3] 088x880:
Maybe U have wrong code. I have Droid 3 from Verizon. I live in Poland and I don't have a problem to unlock and using in 3G with my polish simcard. And I didn't have to activate phone in verizon...
[Motorola Droid 3] leobg:
Verizon tends to alter unlock codes on their global phones lately - not all but some I guess as some people unlock fine, others have issues. Same was with Droid 2 Global last year. All phones from 'first wave' weren't issue to unlock, but afterwards it got hit or miss..

There is no 'hardware unlock' available so far AFAIK. And might not show unless boot loader gets unlocked (since then we can thinker with baseband).
[Motorola Droid 3] rynosaur:
WHAT YOU MEAN, WHY U NO TELL ME WHAT I WANT RIGHT NOW PLEAZE!

:rolleyes:
[Motorola Droid 3] verkerria:
What he is saying is the unlock code will only work while connected to an account in the US.

[Motorola Droid 3] Rotkaeqpchen:
I live in Germany and had no problem unlocking the Droid 3 with the Code bought from swiftunlock.
[Motorola Droid 3] ich511:
I think it is a question of "how new" the phone was. From what I learned by reading all those threads on many forums (and I think it is correct, since mine was unlocked easily as well):

- if you buy a phone that was never ever connected to verizon, the unlock works and you don't need to activate it with VZW (the activation request just disappears and you can use it like any non VZW model, except for the USSD restrictions and so on).

- if you get a phone that somebody already activated for you, you will most likely be busted. VZW does change the unlock keys OTA.

The best idea seems to be: make sure to get your phone from somebody who assures you that it's never been activated or connected to VZW via 2G/3G.
[Motorola Droid 3] luiferrestrepo:
Mine was never activated and i am in Colombia even called Verizon and a rep gave me an unlock code but it did not work. it has been almost one month.

All went very very well and no hiccups. Typing this now on my A500 on HC 3.2.

For those interested, I'm in northern Virginia.

Build is:

ACER_A500_7.006.01_COM_GEN2

Been playing with it for a couple of hours now and so far it is all good.

Couple of things you notice right away is the touch screen operation seems to be much smoother. Mine also wakes up super fast from hibernation mode. You now get a little "SD Card Installed" icon in the notification bar when you boot up.

I also received the OTA today as well. I'm just outside of Nashville, TN. I picked up my tab brand new about 3 months ago. Updated to the same build number as the op. No problems with 3.2 at all.

You can install Taboonay 2.1 or the near stock ROM from ezterry if you want a rooted ROM based on the 3.2 OTA update. They use a different boot loader. Not sure how long it will be before the developers figure out how to crack the new boot loader, so don't perform the update yet if you think you might want to root it or install a custom ROM.

Look in the deveopers thread if you want more information on the ROMS.

I would be Glad to answer any questions on either one. I have tried them both and they are great. I prefer Taboonay 2.1 because I get to chooce the Acer stock apps I want and skip the ones I don't

Just FYI... mine i rooted and I am running RichardTrip's Kernel_V2.5 (Kernel 2.6.36.4) OCed-->>1.4Ghz Kernel and it still notified me of the update so I guess that being root did not stop it from realizing I needed to update!
