[Nexus S General] morpheus302:
I bought a used nexus S today. and surpringly i found that an area (vertical rectangle) on the left side of the screen is not sensitive at all.

The screen is totally unresponsive on this area. So can you please help and tell me if it's a hardware problem or not? (no warrantly as it is a used phone)
[Nexus S General] eunkipark92:
Most likely hardware problem try and flash different rom and see if it fixes problem.if not its probably the digitizer that is causing the problem

rumor:

i have seen a problem very much like yours in other forum , in which , someone gave an answer and worked , but , i am not for if it is real or they were just bullshitting

get a lighter , you should have one if you smoke , take out that part which make fire , i dont know how exactly call it .

one way to identify it is what i want to say. if you put your finger over it , you should feel small electrical shock when you push the button

find that part , and shock the screen where unresponsive with it ...

don't ask me how is it works , i dont know ... you can either ignore me or take a shot...

good luck to you

....

you may not have warranty , but i think you can find some mobile shop to fix it , of course , you need to pay for it...

one thing i can tell you

in China , replace SLCD screen needs about 600 CNY , which means about 100 USD

SA creen nees about 900 CNY , about 150 USD ...
[Nexus S General] tekkitan:
The flint???
[Nexus S General] frutelaken:
No he's talking about an electronic lighter.

No idea how safe it is to send a shock of current through the capacitive screen though, read up more before you attempt.
[Nexus S General] qtwrk:
see attached picture

i said this is rumor and i am not sure if it is real or just bull****

consider thing wouldn't get any worse , you may worth to try it
[Nexus S General] morpheus302:
Flashed different roms and results is the same.

Did someone try the lighter solution?

Is it easy to change the digitizer?
[Nexus S General] eunkipark92:
No you need to seperate digitizer from the screen. Risking breaking the screen. You can buy the digizteir and screen that is preassembled buy it's pricy.

.around 100 I think. Buy the digitizer and take it to the local shop its probably cheaper that way.
[Nexus S General] kdepro:
I have the same problem with the area by the backspace and "p" keys in portrait mode and along the status bar in landscape with the charging port to the right.

I went running with my phone in my waistband. Stupid I know. When I got home, my phone was soaked and the screen was 100% unresponsive and the colors would change intermittently.

I put it in a bowl of rice for a few days in a warm area of my apt, but it hasn't fully recovered two months later. You MAY consider removing the screen and checking for particulates or trapped water vapor. I've been meaning to, but haven't managed to get the tools yet.

I'd be interested to here about your solution if you find one.

Best of luck.
[Nexus S General] qtwrk:
yes , i saw a video someone solved this problem with lighter
[Nexus S General] morpheus302:
Can you please post a link to it? thanks

in the first few seconds , the author demonstrated right side of his screen "number 3 6 9 " were non-responsive , and then he use that thing from lighter , shock the screen thought his finger, sure , that's gonna be little hurt...

but , be careful , i also read , this method MAY REDUCE THE LIFE OF SCREEN.
[Nexus S General] morpheus302:
Thank you very much for your answer. As said above, things can't be worse. I'll try this method and tell you the results.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wario21:
Hey xda-dev,

I recently installed the officia Cyanogenmod 7.1 for my R800i, but now I don't have the games launcher anymore. And the market says that the games launcher "is not compatible with your device".

So my question is, how can I install it again? I couldn't find an .apk file for it, either.

Thanks in advance!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
You can't it requires the semc framework.

[Dell Streak 7] rlaserra:
I flashed the unit back to 2.2.2 from 3.2 dell streak thanks to illdill and the WiFi version of the directions. Now when I load most games after movie its just white, now I encluded 23 and 24 sections of the partition and I heard that could cause issues. Could anyone please give me directions on how to just be able to play games and develop normally without these white screens.
[Dell Streak 7] illdill:
Did you do a factory reset after flashing? If it is a t-mobile unit, did you install the latest update?
[Dell Streak 7] stevedebi:
The latest update would be HC?
[Dell Streak 7] rlaserra:
Yes, i factory rebooted it. The OS loads fine everything is functional, but trying to load games on there for instance Need for speed or sandstorm the inital game screen comes on then everything is just white. I am using 2.2.2 the WiFi build flashed, i wanted to go back from my HoneyComb to be able to load games and apps that ive downloaded and for development of course.
[Dell Streak 7] illdill:
No, not from t-mobile. There was an update to the originaly released OS that included advanced power management features.
[Dell Streak 7] stevedebi:
Yes, but my understanding is that Dell only posts one update - the most current. So you are saying that for T-Mobile, the original update (2.2.2) should still be available? That sounds right, but let us know how it goes.
[Dell Streak 7] rlaserra:
I had done the tmobile update, but the w streak 7 was kinda slugish so what I did was flash the wifi version. Now someone posted that partitions 23 and 24 can cause problems if so like what? Now my phone while im trying to play games like need for speed shift and mroe complex games are whited out when the game starts, they are actually still functioning behind. Seems like the video card is damaged. Any suggestions?

Our GS2 and the Amaze 4g are getting an update Nov 13 that will add WiFi Calling. I was wondering if we would lose the existing root and will have to re-root, or what precautions to take? Any tips?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mbernusg:
I believe if you're rooted and have deleted some bloat.. you will not receive the ota.. may have to wait for the release and pull the apk so we can get wifi calling goodness..

Sent from my SGH-T989
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] manolodf:
Ah Crud, The only thing I have uninstaleld with Titanium Backup (I do not have pro so had to uninstall instead of freeze, but I did back it up) was the Tethering Manager so my tethering would work since they pulled some shenaningans on tethering and went ninja on customers tryingto charge them now. Would I hve to restore that then do OTA then uninstall again?

Back to the original question, would my root remain intact so I can go ahead and uninstall right after the OTA? Or would I have to re-Root?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] babymatteo:
If you made a Nandroid backup before you flashed SU...why don't you just restore that?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] manolodf:
I did make a nandroid, does restoring that restore apps and app data to that point? Basically would I lose any apps I have installed since nandroid and its data?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] babymatteo:
Yes and yes. You will lose any data/apps you have installed/made after the nandroid backup. My suggestion is to do this before the update.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ggfb20:
after removing "tethering manager" can one use simultaneous data on device and phone?

@manolodf after removing tethering manager can you use wifi tether and data on the actual phone simultaneously? While using a MyTouch 4g i was able to accomplish that feat but note i can't replicate on the galaxy s2, i already pay the 14.99/mo but will root and remove that tethering manager if it could enable me to use data on both the wifi tethered device and my phone simultaneously.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] manolodf:
@ggfb20 I also came from the MT4G and yes I remember that ability, I do think after removing tethering manager that it is possible, though I cannot tell you with 100% accuracy, but what I can tell you that I did notice since is that the prompt warning you about not being able to use it simultaneously is now gone.

-- I just enabled hotspot and then opened web browser and it worked, so I would be very likely to say that it does work, I just did not have any device actually connected to the hotspot at the same time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mikeyinid:
If your rooted you wont be able to take the ota anyway. You have to have the stock recovery to flash or it just errors. Someone will have a rooted rom posted the day of the ota so I wouldn't worry about it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] manolodf:
Ok, primarily my main concern is the WiFi Calling, so I just want to make sure i can either get APK or whatever other bug fixes etc in a rom. Hopefully I wont have to do a full wipe though, thats annoying!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] babymatteo:
If you're going to a different you're gunna have to do a full wipe no matter what...to avoid endless bootloops.

Very Useful.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ntellegence:
Tether manager has nothing to do with the ota. To state it clearly root = no ota. But do not worry. Do not run and unrooted your phone. Do not panic. What ever the update does some one will post it so rooted users can get it. It was the same for the Vibrant.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] galaxys2noobs:
can i still update if i rooted my phone and i froze the bloatwares? or do i need to un-freeze them?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mikeyinid:
If you do not have the stock recovery you can't update via ota. You will have to either flash the stock recovery or wait til someone roots it and posts it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Astitious:
Root does nothing to stop OTA updates. You will probably lose root if you run the update, but root does not stop it.

You might get the notification and download but without stock recovery it will not flash.

to answer ur question yes u will loose root best advice is to wait for sumone to make a stock rom with the new update but to remove carrier boat shouldnt affect the ota coming from samsung
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kix08:
Ok so here's my problem. I can't charge my phone past 93% even if I leave it over night I have tried wiping bat. Stats(via rommanager and romtoolbox) then discharging it completely and then plugging it in with out powering it on and letting it charge over night and it still only gets up to 93%. I tried the calibration app from the market but it wont let you calibrate untill your batter is at 100% so therefore in my situation its useless. One of my biggest concerns is that my phone thinks my battery isn't charged(100%) and it keeps sending juice to the battery if that would potentially damage it :( Any suggestions ?

Specs are in my Sig. Let me know if providing any other information would help.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thewarhawk:
1. let it discharge completely and charge it without booting up(like you have before)

2. Once its finished, pull out the battery, it'll let you know the battery is missing

3. Put the battery back in, it'll start charging again at a very low number

4. Let it charge for a couple more hours. it probably won't get back up to 100%.

5. Boot into recovery, wipe battery stats

6. Boot up, run battery calibration app

that should fix it:)

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshthewaster:
So I use my Nexus S for mostly data and have a WiFi network available to me 90% of the time so I just want data for the other 10% (so 2gigs per month should be plenty). I don't use a ton of min per month and want to port my number to google voice. I DON'T want to pay for minutes/texts through tmobile anymore.

I went to a tmobile store and looked at the hotspot devices they sell and found out they do have a sim card. Tmobile just sets it up to be data only which the won't do for phones. Anyway I'm tempted to buy a hotspot and just put the sim into my phone.

Anyway I was wondering if anyone has tried this on tmobile or any other national carrier? I'm not on contract and am willing to switch if I have to.

I went to tmobile and told them I had a galaxy tab I wanted a data sim for. They were skeptical but sold me a 1gb prepaid one for $30. I got home and stuck it in my NS and am not having any luck getting data connectivity.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2011/oct/25/google-android-copy-ios

[Off-topic] z33dev33l:
I see just as many blind and ignorant followers of android as I do iOS. Don't believe me? Look in any "google vs..." thread and you'll get a ton of posts that are just "android all da way" or "ifone sux, android rocks" or similar crap. All tech blogs have their biased journalists and all sites have their intelligent members. To pin all the stupid people on iOS though is just wrong.
[Off-topic] xaccers:
Yes.

Due to what has gone before, the media use apple products (in that many moons ago, apple computers were marginally better for media use than PCs, or at least that's the impression they tried to give).

Therefore you have a media who know more about the existance of apple's products compared with say HTC's products.

Therefore they believe the hype that apple makes things first, and apple products are top of the range.

After all, can you see a journalist slating apple only to then be told "so why do you use apple products then?"

No journalist likes to be made to look like a fool.

So, he was there at asus debut of the various products. Interesting that even that early in the game Charley was criticizing asus products even before he got his hands on them. He had to put negative connotations to everything Shih presented.
