[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badsubby:
Hi,

This is my first time posting so I will keep it brief. I recently sent in my T-Mobile Nexus S for a dead pixel LCD repair to Samsung. I got it back after 2 weeks and it wouldn't charge or turn on. I called and was told about "electrical mechanical abuse". From what I gathered from customer service representatives was that there was water damage to the micro USB port. I have never dropped it in water. After countless hours of arguing they were pretty adamant about not repairing. My phone was charging and working before I sent it in.

I went to a cellphone repair shop today and they seemed very incompetent. Before I sell it for parts I would greatly appreciate if a Nexus S techie could take a look at my phone near Hartford, CT all the way down to New Haven (I'll drive to you) so that I could get a second opinion. I will pay for any repairs if possible. I greatly appreciate any help. Thank you.

Hi anyone? I just want to make sure that its dead before I sell it. I would really appreciate any help. Thanks.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LancerEVA06:
Get a can of Deoxit from RadioShack and spray it into the MicroUSB port. If it's water damage it's probably just got some corrosion on the contacts.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mahanddeem:
That sucks man ... I bet Samsung idiots didn't have a clue on what the problem is and screwed hahaha.....
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badsubby:
Thanks I'll try deoxit and repo back.

=_= why doesn't XDA allow Arrows?

Anyways...

I always records that its working + packaging + sending = no screw over...

But I'd say the posy office fudged this one up... rainy day... no insurance...

Always and I mean always package an electronic item securely and water proof seal tight...

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badsubby:
Next time my friend. You learn from your mistakes. I took pictures of it in case they scratched it (but they fudged up the entire phone lol) but with the screen off. That wont help much. It was UPS so I'll be filing a claim which I'm sure wont do any good but whatever.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htcdude486:
Gahh, I hate getting screwed over, sorry to hear this.

I had a similar-ish situation with my old HTC Legend, took it (to a thrid party) to get the touch-screen replaced, purely cosmetic, there was a long scratch that was bugging me but the phone still worked. They tell me to come back in an hour, so I do.

I come back, the guy says "I'm afraid we're having some problems, the motherboard is fried"

As you can imagine, I'm furious. They say it was probably just waiting to happen and they can't do anything about it. Oh, and apparently I should have read the disclaimer on the website.

I left after an hour of arguing with a broken phone and a little less pride.

The only positive is that I had an excuse to get another phone (my Nexus S), maybe you can get yourself a nice Galaxy Nexus? ;)

Oh, I forgot to add, you could always get damage protection for your next phone, I used these guys but I'm sure there are more options. Pretty decent price for the coverage!

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badsubby:
Thanks for the info buddy. I do plan on getting a Galaxy Nexus but I'm not paying more than 400+. So it'll be a couple of months. Before I sold Nexus One and bought Nexus S by putting in $20 more bucks. Now it'll be the full amount again. Till then, I'll try to survive on Motorola Razr (like its 2006) and HP Touchpad with CM9 for emails, texts, etc.

I was just at Radioshack for DeOxit and saw Galaxy Nexus. That phone is slick (not big in your hands at all) and I will end up buying it even though Samsuck fudged me over.

As for DeOxit it didnt work :(

Off to the ebay "for parts or not working". Thank you for the help guys. :)

EDIT: Next time I will live with the Dead pixel. Under no circumstances should anyone send phones under "warranties". HTC is the best imo because with Nexus One they sent me a new phone by putting a charge on my card and then I simply sent them the old one.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Exnor:
Have the problem but is gone :P

I experience the same problem today at 1:30 AM (lisbon time).

I',m running Asus latest original firmware (not rooted, never been rooted) on my TF101.

I've tried everything, from empty cache, log off from Youtube, delete all stored date for the app, reboot the device (3 times) and nothing worked... The app just force closed every time i tried to watch a clip or access my channel (even tried not being logged in).

I found out that if i enter the app then put the device in airplane mode and tap a video on the initial screen and then put back the device on normal mode and it would load that video and let me watched to the end, BUT after that it would Force Closed.

So i've search the net for solution (found none) nad since i was late i shut down the TF and got to sleep.

I've just turn the TF on and the App is working fine now O-O... i dind't do anything! It just came back to life by its won...

Does anyone have a possible explanation?

thks
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:

It was most likely a change made on their servers that caused it. Which still should've been tested properly before being rolled out...
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cristianpark:
Hi all

I want to install CM7 ROM on my Stock Defy (Android 2.2) and have a doubt about when to flash a SBF file and what is the relation between Android and Kernel versions.

First, let's take a look of this table from wikipedia [1]:

Android Version-------------------Kernel

------2.1.x------------------------2.6.29

------2.2.x------------------------2.6.32

------2.3.x------------------------2.6.35

......

------4.0.x-------------------------3.0.1

I look in many forums on how to install cyanogenmod and they say that I have to flash Nordic SBF and so on. So far I understand that one onlye have to flash a sbf file when it's making an update from 2.1 to 2.2 (Android versions) but I don't understand why updating from 2.2.x to 2.3.x doesn't require that (look on cyanogenmod guide to install it --it says nothing about flashing sbf-- [2])

Cyanogenmod 7.1 says that it's Android 2.3.7 but the kernel stays at 2.26.32.x and in the table says that Android 2.3.x 'needs??' kernel version 2.26.35.x, so I want to know these things:

1. Is the Android version hard linked to a kernel version or is possible that you have Android 2.3.7 and Kernel 2.26.32.x installed

2. If 1 is false, is Cyanogenmod really Android 2.3.7??

3. When you are installing a custom ROM, when you HAVE to flash a SBF file into your device? Only when you are updating kernel? or in wich cases one have to flash it?

I hope I was clear with my question and you can help me with that.

Thanks in advance

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Infuser86:
I flashed this ROM last week and love it but have encountered a small problem. When I get a notification in the notification area, sometimes the text is black. The problem there is that the background is black. For instance, my CNN app sends news alerts and today I couldn't read it because black on black.

Is there anything I can do within this theme or ROM to rectify this issue?

Thanks!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
Check to see CNN app settings if you change notification text color in it. This is more of an app based issue, and not ROM based. Looks like the CNN app is for ROMs with white status bars.

The app is called "stick it" from the market and it cost $1.50. A very cool app to use on your tablet or phone.

Watch videos from your phone or youtube videos while browsing or using maps. Youtube is a bit buggy but saved movies are smooth. The video is adjustable and can be moved anywhere on the screen.

Click my sig to check a preview of it... here's a screen shot while browsing xda.

Let me know what you guys think.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borolo222:
Ok guys I'm I total noob in this android world and I think it's amazing. So I purchased the SGS2 and have been using for three months now. I wanted more so I started studying about root and custom roms.

I started the procedure but I need your advice/ thumbs up for what I'm gonna do.

Here it is:

When I purchased the phone I upgraded the firmware with Kies to

PDA: I9100UHKH1

PHONE: I9100UHKG4

CSC: I9100COBH1

It's from Movistar Colombia and so far it's the only update we've received from kies.

I wanted to download a copy of this firmware from Intratechs thread but the Fbeye spoiled it, but I got a prevoius version PDA:UHKE5| PHONE:UHKE3| CSC:COBKE2 (just in case)

* So I rooted using CF-ROOT with ODIN file CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KH1-v4.1-CWM4.tar from Chainfire's thread.

So far so good. I don't mind about the yellow triangle.

*Installed HC-ktool to make a backup of EFS.. done

I'm at this point right now and I plan to make the next steps....I want to upgrade to 2.3.6 maybe use XILA2 (Frankestein firmware).

*Make a backup using CWM

*purchase and download Mobile Odin PRO

*Download PDA: XILA2| Modem/phone: XXKL1| CSC: XEUKH2

*Use mobile Odin to flash XILA2 (it should keep root right)

Is this version compatible?

If something goes wrong can I go back to where I am now using cwm with the backup previously made?

Should I wipe the device? before flashing? after flashing?

I've read somewhere that the battery needed calibration after flashing.. do i have to do this?

Should I worry about the CSC file not being for my country?

When I flash the firmware, will the APN settings change?

If I ever want to return to stock, can I simply flash with odin the original firmware? or with a different method?

thanks in advance...

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shahmat1:
Hi, I am having problems upgrading my phone from Darky's v9.2 Extreme Edition to DarkyRom v10.2 Resurrection.

After alot of forum reading/trial and error/semi-bricking I successfully installed v9.2 on my phone using heimdall.

Phone specs:

Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant (Canadian Bell)

GT-I9000M

Firmware version: 2.2.1

Baseband version: I9000XXJPY

Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9

Build: Darky's v9.2 Extreme Edition

I followed this guide to get version 9.2 installed using heimdall(darky-resurrection-edition-guide.1578 -sorry couldn't post url), I couldn't get any version to work using odin.

And now I've been using this guide to upgrade to 10.2, attempting installs with odin and heimdall, with no luck (darkyrom-v10-4-2-xwjw1.6577-sorry couldn't post url), doing the "long guide" outlined in the post.

After I try this guide my phone shows the DarkyRom logo and then infinitely reboots.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should try????? I've currently reflashed it back to v9.2.

I don't completely understand firmware versions, kernel versions, rom versions. I think I am running Froyo version, if thats whats 2.2.1 means. I have mainly been fooling around with this because the kies update semi-bricked my phone. Anyways, thanks for the help/suggestions :)

I also read in another thread on here to use the app DarkyOTA, in the app store it says that my device is not compatible with this app, so not sure if that is the proper route.

If you have flashed the firmware and the ROM, then you already have the latest radio.

That app Requires Android: 3.0 and up!

Is your Nook Color running a Honeycomb (3.2) or ICS (4.0) ROM? Even if you do manage to get that app via side-loading, it may not install due to your NC current ROM not running one of those required ROMs.

By the way, I have a ASUS tablet running Android (3.2) and can run the Sony Reader app (for tablets) but try as I may, I couldn't install it on my NC running GB (CM7). So I copied the apk from the tablet to the NC and low and behold it wouldn't install. Reason? It requires Android 3.0 and up! Doh!!!!!! :rolleyes:
