[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tacc:
A while ago I read a comment somewhere saying that the glass could get loose/detaches itself slowly.

Now I got my Galaxy Nexus (Amazon Warehouse Deals "like new") and I noticed that the screen budges a little at the upper part.

I searched but I couldn't find any mention of something like this anywhere. Maybe I used the wrong keywords.

Is this a known problem?

Oh, and just a secondary issue:

Is there any way to actually buy something from the amazon appstore from outside the US? The "normal" amazon happily sells me downloads when I enter a fake US adress but it doesn't seem to work with apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nonione:
well obviously the phone you have had the screen replaced, if they dont wanna fix that for free, id seach for a video on youtube on how to do it myself
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] toasterr:
Not sure if this is what you're referring to, but there was a fairly active thread in the Q&A section about the adhesive failing in the corners of the screen, causing one side of the glass to "lift" from the frame. I'd try to get it replaced.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bongd:
That's not normal and shouldn't be happening.

That's like saying you heard that there are car manufacturers which have certain models where the wheels fall off. That is a critical hardware failure that I would try getting replaced. It's not acceptable for you to need to worry about your screen coming off, especially if there's been no neglect.

Mine is sturdy as hell and it looks like a fantastic and beautiful piece of hardware. If mine had any defects I'd call in to get it swapped right away. Hope it works out well!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tacc:
Guess that could be it.

Seems like I don't have luck with this phone. The first "like new" Nexus I bought had a deep scratch on the glass. And the Bootloader was unlocked.

Guess amazon doesn't inspect their returns too closely.

Oh, and what's the deal with this fortified glass? There are countless people reporting that they don't use any protection at all but still have a scratch free screen after weeks. While I already have 2 light scratches after barely 24 hours. I don't even know how this could have possibly happened.

It was either in it's pouch or in my hands.

Other people stab that thing with a knife and nothing happens while I get 2 scratches just by looking at it...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mortem Tuam:
SPB Shell 3D is the one that is available on the market now. I own this.....it's a good launcher, but IMHO not worth the $15 unless you have some extra $$ to blow. Someone got me mine for Christmas.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] orangekid:
Yeah that's it, didn't know it was $15.

I'm not dropping that much digital green paper on a launcher, lol. I'll just find a different one I guess.

Thx for the info guys.

Any other ideas?

Usually I just roll with Launcher Pro cuz I like the transition effects.

I'm not sure paying almost $17 for a launcher is really worth it!

here ya go

This shows 100%-2% with screen a hair under 50% brightness. Keep in mind, my (stock) firmware has known battery issues. I'll be much better off after root and a couple of tweaks. If you don't have yours yet, get it now! Or, at least, take your phone and hold it in one hand and hold a sgs2 in the other. The screen blows you away and the performance will amaze, even on a carrier-crippled unit. You'll buy the sgs2, guaranteed. And then, you can mod the thing however you want.

If you wait for sgs3, you might as well wait for jelly bean, or Klondike bar or lemon merange pie, IMHO. HTC? Huh?

No physical buttons means more screen real estate space. That dosnet mean that the phone itself may be any larger, just the screen size. It will probably be about the same size as the Skyrocket with more screen.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iB4STiD:
I always meant to get the phone, But fell into that "lets wait to see whats coming next" problem, your info plus other from this thread pushed me to stop waiting!

My biggest concern was my past experience with my vibrant, I really wanted to avoid that whole problem happening again ( ie. gps issues/internal memory being formatted in some oddball Samsung way which caused lag). And tho I have flashed countless roms for other phones i really just wanted to have a phone that i could root for adblock and just run as stock as i could and touchwiz seemed usable.

I was close to getting a Samsung note, but i will never pay 300 and sign a contract! (att is getting on my nerves with this whole throttle bs as it is). I also wanted to have what "to me" seemed like the best android device to go along with my ageing ip4, sorta the best of both worlds :)

[Kindle Fire General] nofear0705:
Hopefully no one has already asked this question. I've looked through the search and found nothing. But anyway, I have windows 7 64. When I try and connect the Kindle to windows it doesn't see it. Yes I've made sure it's not sleeping and yes I've Reset the Kindle. Now in the task bar it shows it to safely remove device. If I look at devices it's there. When I click on my computer it's not. At work they still use windows xp it works just fine there, Comes up as it should. I've tried all my usb ports . I've tried 4 different usb cables. Is there some usb drivers that I could delete in the windows system that could get it to work. Hell I can't even root this thing till it see it. Any help would be awesome.
[Kindle Fire General] jmcoffey:
Does the kindle say file sharing is on?
[Kindle Fire General] meturne2:
I don't know if this will help but I had to uncheck USB debugging to get mine to show up. (Also on Windows 7)
[Kindle Fire General] nofear0705:
Where do you find usb debugging. I Know where it's at on my phone. Also jm it does say on the Kindle itself that files are ready to be transferred.
[Kindle Fire General] jmcoffey:
Hm.... Have you tried different USB ports?
[Kindle Fire General] nofear0705:
Yes I have. This is so frustrating
[Kindle Fire General] jmcoffey:
As a last resort you could use device manager to check and make sure that windows is seeing it. Also, certain versions of windows will hide certain drives. Just right click my computer and click manage. Then click device manager.
[Kindle Fire General] nofear0705:
Thanks, As soon as I get home that's my next step.
[Kindle Fire General] meturne2:
Look under Applications and then Development. Default is ADB android debugging so I guess you have to turn that off to use USB.

[Kindle Fire General] nofear0705:
Yes, I'm on stock. Ok deleted the android drivers. Now It will see my kindle and i can move stuff to it. Although I can't get adb to work with it. About to give up.
[Kindle Fire General] jmcoffey:
Use kfu in the development thread to install the drivers again.
[Kindle Fire General] nofear0705:
That's the weird thing. When I uninstall the drivers the computer will see the kindle. When I install the kfu drivers it doesn't see the kindle anymore

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdzo72:
OK guys the title explains my predicament. I live in Costa Rica and am currently with the I.C.E for any of you that may be from here. I purchased a used S2 from a guy that bought it from Claro. So the first thing I did was get rid of the stock and I flashed everything like I wanted which is:

CheckROM v6

Using DarkKnight's Kernel

I'm using the KI3 radio but I have about 20 others and none of them changes my situation (coming up)

Original info was:

PDA-KG7

Phone- KG4

CSC - KH2

NOW here's the deal, my network icon has full bars but with an R for roaming. The phone works fine, I somewhat have data connectivity although SLOW, BUT when I go to APN settings there is nothing there NOR will it let me save a new APN, BUT I do get the 3G and H icons depending on where I am, I just can't program in a new APN or get rid of the Roaming icon no matter what ROM I flash, kernel or radio combination...

I have tried automatically and manually selecting my networks also, no dice...

I have of course already gone to *#*#4696#*#* and changed settings and tried all the variants but currently have it on WCDMA preferred.

I have also gone to *#2263# and tried all those variants but left it on WCDMA All Channels.

So I am more than open for any suggestions.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Go to Sammobile.com & search for stock firmware for your country/carrier (or just your country if they don't have any carrier specific firmware for your region), flash this firmware via Odin following whatever instructions Sammobile have for firmware downloaded from their site.

Once you've done that, check your APN setting & see if you have full connectivity. If for whatever reason your APN settings are blank (if you only end up downloading/flashing a country specific firmware only, for example), call your carrier for the APN settings and then enter these manually.

First thing you do when you have these problems is go back to stock & see if you can reproduce the problem or whether going back to stock fixes same ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdzo72:
Thanks alot for your response MistahBungle.

Well on stock firmware is where I originally have the problem, that's the reason I began flashing ROMs and radios. IF I use a SIM from the original carrier which is Claro then all is well. BUT if I use a SIM from one of the other two carriers then the phone signal says roaming and I can't save any APN settings, no matter if I'm on stock firmware or any of the other ROMs or radio combinations that I have tried.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
OK. Looks like we'll have to dig a bit deeper :)

So do you have baseband & IMEI in settings/about phone ? That issue of not being able to save APN settings with those other carriers sounds to me like a SIM or network issue. My first thought was it's a problem with the baseband, hence I suggested to flash a stock rom. But if that was the issue, you probably wouldn't be able to enter APN details for any sim/carrier.

Actually, now that I think about it. You know what it sounds like ? That the phone is network locked to your original carrier. That would explain everything.

If your phone *should* be locked (like you're on a contract where you only 'own' the phone at the end of the contract, etc), then I guess you can either pay the original carrier to unlock it. Or you can try one of the many unlock methods you can read about on here/apps you can get on the Market. Or if it shouldn't be locked yet it is, maybe ask the original carrier to unlock it.

You could also try flashing a specific rom for one of the other carriers, but I'm pretty sure that phone is network locked.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdzo72:
Ok just to clarify... all that makes sense, but what is ODD to me is that I don't think the phone is locked... I have full phone capabilities. I can make and answer calls, send texts, I even have full internet capability (even if I can't save any APN settings and there are none to be seen in the menu to choose from), I have the full speed of what I'm paying for from my carrier... the phone just won't let me SEE what APN settings it's using and in the signal it says R for roaming, but in networks it shows that it's connected to MY network...

Yes my IMEI does come up, BUT when I try one of those unlock apps I always get the message that it was unable to unlock it, but it's working with my carrier.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Ahhhh. OK. Yep that's a bit clearer now :)

OK. So we're pretty sure it isn't locked. That is really weird that it won't let you enter APN settings (regardless of which rom you're using), but you still have internet connectivity. Again, showing your network as the network connected to, yet showing up as roaming on the taskbar, is weird.

I've gotta say I"m pretty much stumped then. Haven't read a similar situation on here in the 4 mths I've been following the Q&A section of the board pretty much every day. Sorry I can't be of more help :(

Hopefully someone better qualified that me reads your post & can help. If you don't get a reply in a day or two, give it a bump.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdzo72:

THANKS AGAIN!!

Now to the rest of you devs, come on help a fella out and tell me what files I need to be looking for or modifying
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdzo72:
Ok MistahBungles I got an update for ya... I decided to download a different firmware package (the PDA and Phone match mine but not the CSC), it's for Claro Argentina, BUT the ROM isn't branded when I booted it (the ROM the phone came had a CLARO boot logo (another reason I started looking for a different ROM)) and THIS ROM automatically has my APN settings in the menu without me doing a thing and the R in the signal is gone....

So now my question is how do I go about flashing the ROM I wanna use which is CheckROM but not lose my new found freedom (I ask because I'm not sure if this is a simple radio issue)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlowerPotmen:
The Phone maybe Network Locked.(Not sim locked) As taken from gsmlocker.com:

Q. What sorts of locks are there?

A.

- lock phone to SIM

- lock phone to OPERATOR (network lock)

- lock phone to CODE (product lock = offer lock)

If your phone is locked to the sim you cannot use any other sim than the one you have: SIM broken makes phone useless.

If your phone is locked to an operator, you can use any SIM from this operator in your phone. You can switch between contract and prepaid as you wish, but not to a different operator.

If your phone is locked to a code, the phone checks a special "password" (GID) on the SIM that must match your phone. Providers often use different passwords for contract and prepaid.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdzo72:
OK I get your point BUT the phone if fully functional, I'm using a SIM from a different carrier, I have a data connection, make and receive calls, the whole nine yards, it just won't let me see what APN setting it's using and the R symbol is in the signal... once again, IT IS allowing the use of a different SIM from another carrier
