Just the Buttons, I was thinking that if it would have been the Digitizer then it would of affected more of the screen, what I think I needed was the little strip that holds the four buttons and trackbutton thing.

It's all right anyway, since I wasn't really sure what I was looking for I handed into a repair shop about an hour ago. I usually prefer to repair things myself, but I wasn't really sure where I could buy a whatjamacallit or a thingamibob. :p.

Thanks anyway.. ....John...

The capacitive home button on my Streak 7 died due to static shock. I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often since the phones are always in a pocket.

Why do they want to keep a record of how many times we flash? I wonder if it's to prove that they don't have to pay for warranty.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
most likely something along the line

or perhaps to count how many times the internal storage has been written to, which causes wear

Normally, I'd scoff at the idea that a company was being all big-brother and trying to embed ways to track what your doing to your device but I see no reason for this type of software besides A) giving my wife more proof that I spend way too much time, effort, and money on my phone and B) giving Samsung another reason to not honor your warranty. That said, I'm not the type to try and make someone else pay out for my mistakes but I'm not a fan of being spied on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lookitzjohnny:
i got the jig that is "suppose" to reset the counter also. maybe its with our variant of the GSII that it doesnt reset?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
possibly, since our CPU is different, it might be related to that?

or perhaps related to the SIM unlock, which in our phone is also different than the regular SGS2

This was one of the reasons I started the thread on getting insurance. I don't want any problems when it comes to getting my phone replaced. Manufacturers suck when it comes to that. I could see them easily denying a replacement for that reason alone. I'll just deal with tmobile instead.

I know someone that was having problems with their vibrant and called in a warranty replacement. They told the rep that the phone was rooted and had a different ROM. The rep checked with their supervisor and said that the warranty was still in place. He got a new vibrant and was not charged an out of warranty fee.

has anyone found a way to reset it yet?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ThC23:
Where is this counter? Didn't know there was one. I've done a lot of exchanges ( Vibrant, G2, G2X and SGS2) from different phones and never bothered to reset any counter.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chib1panda:
The thing is, from having,worked at Tmobile is that most phones will get inspected for common warranty breaking.g things, like water damage, taking apart your phone. Other than that, I believe they just factory wipe the data with their computers and either refurb. Or recycle. I've sent back phones that have been bricked from bad ROM flashes and have never incurred a fee.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skadude66:
What does the counter do anyways? In terms of flashing ROMs, does it limit the number of times we can flash custom ROMs?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ThC23:
Why would we need to reset the counter? I've returned lots of phones without resetting and I've had no problems.

Just curious as to why? Thanks.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Belenus666:
Hey guys,

I've been a proud Ideos X5 owner since about two and a half weeks...

But after the first week I was already noticing dust gathering on the LCD, under the digitizer.

It started in the right upper corner and one large particle all the way at the bottom. It seems to be spreading...

Has anyone else noticed dust collecting underneath the digitizer or am I the only one?

Anyone got any idea if this is an issue worth sending the phone for repair (under warranty if that's even possible)?

It's not a major issue but it is kind of a nuisance...

Any answer is appreciated! :)

Thanks in advance!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Vk_:
I've owned this phone for almost nine months now and haven't got a speck of dust(have to knock trice) under the digitizer.. So I think you should take it back under the warranty..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Clevo89:
No dust yet under the screen and I've had the phone for about 6 weeks now...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] InstigatorX:
I have dust in the upper right corner.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Micco85:

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Belenus666:
Thanks for your replies guys, I'm going to contact the costumer service of my supplier to see if they'll ask to return it or something...

I'm loving this phone but I would like it to behave like it should ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] satanuke:
After reading this topic I took good look at my screen and I found I have 4 or 5 grains of dust inside. Never noticed them, I cant see them when the screen is on, only with a complete black screen.

Its not such a big deal, I work at a very dusty place and sooner or later it would happen.

For the price of this device I wont even bother to send it to the repair service.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] parthabhatta:
same problem for me i n 8800 pro. dust got under digitiser within two/three weeks and from the same upper right corner. it seems that all factors being common its due to some manufacturing defects. Any more details by anyone like opinion of Huawei service centres.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] n0_xQuZe:
Mine has gathered dust under the upper left corner, i wonder if the guys over at the shop i bought it can fix it.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] rastek:
This has to be manufacturing defect. I'm using the phone for about 15 months now and i have little bits of dust all over the right bottom side. Though it is not visible when the screen is on. I have this for about 3 months now and it's not such a big deal. The phone has the screen protector and TPU shield on it since begining.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] goutham_krishna:
Its been one year but i dint notice any dust behind the screen untill i had it given to the customer care for some issue and i got it back after a month with dust all over behind the screen when they changed the mother board.. so i purchased a new screw driver set and cleaned it myself!!!!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] nagato.fm:
1 year in use, somewhat huge amount of dust behind the screen in the left bottom corner.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] parthabhatta:
How is it hampering your daily use? Is the screen visibility reduced appreciably? I am asking this because I am to decide whether to take it to service centre or not based on your experiences? Lastly why didn't you take it to service centre? Don't mind by my questions. I am just trying to understand the gravity of the problem. Thank you.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] nagato.fm:
I just stopped to care about it. But sometime I'll definitely go to service 'cos of it,
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Hosse76:
I have had the X5 for well over a year now and the dust under the digitiser was bad enough for me to remove and clean it. 4 plectrums and a soft cloth worked ok, but if you are under warranty get it done. It doesn't improve!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] net.beans:
x5 is a dust collector

Indeed, x5 is a dust collector
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Duke_X:
Same problem here.

I found a post that instructed on how to open the phone and remove the digitizer, however it also said that doing it is risky cos any mistake during the reassembly would render it useless.

And I can't even figure out the place from where the dust is going in. So plugging the hole is impossible too.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] parthabhatta:
Can you give the link to that post.

Secondly I figured out the defect. Actually in my phone the top left and right part of the digitizer is not properly sitting on it's counterpart say bezel or whatever it's called. There is quite an appreciable gap from where the dust is going in. This is a purely a manufacturing defect. I may upload a photo if I can take a good shot of the same.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] abdullah9252:
I am using this X5 from a 14 months I haven't seen dust particle behind digitizer ....... its seems good for me:D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] plugged_in_now:
I have an Incredible 2.3.4 with this taken from HBOOT

Incrediblec XC Ship S-On

HBOOT-0.92.0000

Microp-0417

Touch Panel-ATMEL224_16ab

Radio-2.15.10.07.07

Ok, so here is my problem, I want to be rooted and I want S-off, but I cannot get anything done. The phone wouldn't recognize the SD Card, I got that taken care of. The phone does the 5 Vibrates when turning it on unless I have the USB plugged in and I do a battery pull. (This really screws up updates/RUU fixes where updates are necessary). And along those lines I tried an RUU back to 2.1 which didn't work because of the restart issue, but then I was able to run the update after booting into HBOOT USB but the RUU failed ultimately.

I've tried to gain root access through unrevoked 3.22, it simply says failed to push recovery, terminated. I've tried rooting using zergRush, it tells me that it has found a path and that its sending zergs, then it just stops without telling me what happened and kicks me back out of adb shell. This is a recurring problem, I will be in adb shell and then randomly and for no reason it was kick me out to the root of my computer.

I'm working on a Windows 7 64 bit machine, I have been using an ADB mini download, but have also tried working through the installed ADB with equal results.

If anyone has any idea of what I could be doing wrong or different please let me know. I really need some kind of help because I am at a major loss.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] CBankord:
2.3.4 on the Incredible has not yet been rooted, therefore the rooting software (Unrevoked) has not been updated with a root method. That would be why it's not working for you. I've never tried to downgrade to an old version using an RUU, so I can't really speak to that.

Also, this was posted in the incorrect forum. You should have posted in the Q&A section, as this has nothing to do with development.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] keyslapper:
What about the radio?

I was wondering this same thing because my wife's Incredible isn't rooted, but she's on 2.3.4. If she ever asks me to root her phone to put something on it or give her some feature not otherwise available, I'd rather be prepared if possible.

While looking over the UnRevoked site, I noticed it didn't really mention the Android versions it worked with, just the radios. I wonder if it's possible to just flash the radio to 2.15.00.07.28, which is rootable, according to the UnRevoked site, and try the UnRevoked Forever tool?

The radios are pretty easy to get here after all.

I'm not recommending this without some confirmation from someone with a lot more experience rooting than I have though, so Caveat Emptor!

Just a thought.

Cheers!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RMinor205:
You can flash radios in the bootloader, but, having S-ON, the zip file may need to be signed, so i'd say NO it's not possible to flash a radio w/o root.

Yeah, flashing radios with s-on is a brick magnet.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SAlmighty:
I've been noticing a few interesting things with my Galaxy S2 and wanted to know if these things would be something to be concerned off.

1). With faith, I finally updated the firmware to 2.3.5. Now, the yellow tint is gone. However, the areas circled in the pictures attached continue to show the same washed-out effect. Instead of the usual blue color in the Notification Area, the areas circled, show a much pale tone. This becomes very visible in grey backgrounds (i.e. accessing Marketplace and Notifications Area) and low brightness in Browser. I don't know if this is a defect in the display or software related like the Yellow-tint.

2). After updating the firmware, the kernel version has Intratech's username at the end? Is this suppose be like that? I thought the Kernel, would be the same as before as stock. The phone confirms this is a official Samsung Firmware, so i'm guessing I have not rooted yet.

3). At lowest brightness, in complete darkness, if you squint and look very carefully in Notifications Area, you can see a faint vertical line across the Notifications Area-only. Doesn't affect anything else though.

4). If you look carefully at the Notifications Area, 2/3 of the screen is darker, while the right is fairly 1/3 is brighter as indicated by the arrow in the picture attached. Is this a way to compensate for the yellow-tinge on the left?

5). The auto-rotation feature doesn't always work whenever display toggles between verticle and horizontal position. Is this something all users face?

6). Lastly, I'm not getting any close to 4,000 on Quadrant Standard even with virtually nothing running in the background. My scores are only ranging between 3000 and 3500 in Quadrant Standard, is my hardware defective? I never had a situation where temps crossed 40 degrees Celsius. My device is normally maintained at 29 degrees Celsius and on average, 31 degrees Celsius. I feel like the CPU is constantly clocking at various speeds.

Please leave your feedback. Thanks a lot.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
For me, nothing dramatic recognizable.

1).

Your pictures do not show me any problems or defects.

But this is subjective and maybe you can see more differences when looking directly on your phone's display.

2).

I can not see Intratech's name in your kernel, but this is nothing to bother as it is still recognized as original / stock kernel.

I also think that your phone is not rooted. But you should know, if you flashed a rooted kernel or used another rooting method (like flashing an insecure kernel, using SuperOneClick ans re-flashing a stock kernel).

3). + 4).

The notification area can be used for adjusting the brightness of the screen (click on the bar at the top ans hold your finger there for a second, then move it to the right to increase or to the left to decrease the brightness) - maybe that's why you can see different areas in the notification bar?!

5).

Auto-rotation is not available in every screen and/or app. It should work in your browser, in email app, in video player, etc..

6).

The benchmark scores depend on many different factors. I have flashed a lot of ROMs and kernels (most of the time official and/or stock ones), and I usually get 3000 - 4000 in Quadrant.

For example, the economy mode reduces the speed of the CPU to get a better battery life. Please be sure to disable such performance "stopper" before running a benchmark.

If you want to reach higher scores, you should look for a custom ROM which is "specialized" for high performance.

Original/stock ROMs usually try to enhance battery life and are not focused on a maximum performance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SAlmighty:
Thing is when you look at the area outlined in black, the the color is not equal as to the rest of the screen. Instead, the areas outlined in black appear more pale. This doesn't even affect the overall picture quality, but it is sure visible in lower brightness and in situations like accessing marketplace and notifications area and web browser.

Another thing I noticed is that with medium brightness, you begin to spot a faint horizontal line in a plain white background on the top (it doesn't flicker or go on and off, it's just there). if you put the brightness at full level, that line doesn't even exist, is it software?

and when you set the brightness to lowest, a strange faint blank vertical line appears when you see in pure darkness but only in a confined area of the notifications area. is this amoled-related?

when rotating the screen while in notifications area, I can see faint lines that appear on the sides of the screen; looks to be like ghosting. i've seen other S2's and those lines seem to be permanently fixed regardless of what way you orient the phone. instead of those lines that are permanently fixed, mine just magically disappears, but it takes seconds for it to blend with the current position. hope you know what I mean. ;)

please let me know
