Hello, i bought from ebay a galaxy s2 screen glass, do you know how to change it?

disarmed almost everything but when you take apart the phone glass could not do it. :(
[Galaxy S II General] repairsuniverse:
Did you buy just the glass on its own? Or the glass with the LCD screen?

It is not possible to replace just the glass on this model as the screens are fused together. However some eBay sellers will still sell it even though it is not usable.

hello, i bought just the glass w/o the screen, i just wanted to change the color of my galaxy from black to white :(

model T989

Hi,

Have you done screen replacement for the T989 model? Seems like the home button flex cable is attached to the screen with tape/glue, which I've removed, but not sure how to reaffix to the new screen, please help....

Tks,

Erin
[Galaxy S II General] amith12:
I would like to replace only the LCD Screen of my s2. It is possible?
[Galaxy S II General] repairsuniverse:
We don't carry the LCD's by themselves and it is not recommended to do so as the screens are bonded together and using a full screen assembly is much wiser.

[Android Apps and Games] Dirt_Bag:
Hey folks, I thought I'd share a nice free fix...

I recently switched to CM7 on my Sammy Fascinate, and restored my apps (and some data) using Titanium Backup Free Edition. Well, as most of you may know, this is will not create links between apps and Google Market when apps are installed using this method. I know there is a "Market Doctor" feature in the Pro version of Ti Backup, but I am cheap and stubborn! Well, it turns out that if you log into Google "Play" on a computer and do a remote app installation (pick an app that isn't already installed on your device), the link will be restored for all apps on your device! Super easy...and best of all? FREE! Enjoy ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MiKenning:
Usually, on weekends, or holidays, I use my phone for Angry Birds, many other games, music, etc for a long period of time. Today I managed to get about 5 hours use until the battery got to 30%.

I'm not sure whether or not this is good or bad and so I'm wondering; how many hours do you get out of it, in relation to being a heavy user, medium user or light user?

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonybhoy:
about 5/6 hours max
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sohebq:

10 days and still going

With all data disabled most of the time, almost unused, but still connected to the GSM network, mine is now at more than 10 days (and I think it wasn't even fully charged at the start of this period). This is with stock ROM, Apex launcher, almost no other custom apps.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jashy67:
It's hard to have an effeicient answer since it depends on many factors : the way you use your phone, your ROM , Kernel and all setting stuffs etc ... . And even with same settings , two SGS II can have a totaly different battery drain. So, you can compare but it wont realy be so efficient :).

Anyway , for me with a usual use : almost 2d and with heavy use about 16-24 h. I m on Wanamlite 10.6 with last Siyah V3.0 Kernel.

I have tried 3 different ROMs and with the last ICS ROM i had 8-9 hours with heavy use of 3G/Bluetooth/sync ... and of course it's depends of what apps (games :D ) i use among the day ...

awesome how some users get 24 hours with a single battery charge. :eek:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Donnie Sins:
When I use my S2 as a normal phone, about 20 hours.

But with heaving usage and gaming (which I do pretty much:D) probably between 6 or 8 hours also.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] b_Rich:
I recently installed HFS v1.6 and the latest gapps (3/17). The ROM seems to run smoothly, but my Gmail will not sync....despite saying that it is synced (I have rebooted, wiped cache/dalvik, cleared the gmail cache, turned the sync manually off and back on, but now out of idea). I did not have this problem at all in previous versions of gapps or other roms/versions, but every time I try and flash 3/17, I get this sync error. I use Gmail for work purposes also, so I need this fixed asap. Does anyone have any suggestions? :confused:

Any help is appreciated....

thanks!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Klathmon:
next step is to do a FULL wipe, it takes some time to set everything back up but itll probably fix your problem.

if that doesnt fix it, then try the next older gapps with the new HFS or just deal with 1.5 until a newer version comes out that it does work for.

Good Luck :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elterible:
Hi everyone,

I am having an issue getting my notifications for gmail and i was wondering if anyone else is having the same problem. I am referring to the actual notification icon in the notification bar and not just the sound/vibrate options.

I am running MIJJz Blendz ICS rom, version 4.0 with FD05 modem. I know ICS has always had notification issues but my wife is having the exact same problem on her MyTouch 4G (T-Mobile, Gingerbread, unrooted) so my thinking was that it was more Google related.

We both tried uninstalling and reinstalling with limited success.

Anyone else having the same issues? Any ideas on a fix?

Thanks in advance for the help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elterible:
anyone?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
Try clearing data. Give it five minutes and go back into gmail. It should fix it.

I have to do this at least once a week myself. :(

It is a known issue and Google is supposedly working on it.

Good luck!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elterible:
Thank you!

Still find this odd though, I have never had this issue with all my years using Android on multiple phones
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
Yeah it's a fairly recent issue (maybe two months our so). You think it'd be more of a priority to fix.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsgraphicart:
Has there been any way of sending and receiving texts with the TouchPad through bluetooth? I know webOS can do it with the Pre 3 and the Veer but not with any other phone. How about Android? Any apps or anything?
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chicle_11:
I don't know about Bluetooth, but you can send and receive text msgs using google voice.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsgraphicart:
Yeah, I'm gonna try that method and see how it works
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NapalmDawn:
There is also TextPlus. Basically this app uses a fake phone number out in the world. People can text to that number and you will get it in your TP. You can also send texts out using it and take care of attachments.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ve6ay:
There are lots of apps that imitate it, but nothing (other than GVoice that I've seen) that can allow you to use your own phone number to do it. Unless your carrier allows a web-access type thing, like Rogers did with their OneNumber that they just started. But again, that's web, not an actual app.

I reco GV, but then again, I'm Canadian, and I like being able to text anywhere from it.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsgraphicart:
I went ahead and downloaded the app DeskSMS on my phone. I linked it to my google account and text messages are forwarded to google talk on CM9 and the default Messaging app in webOS. I can reply straight from my tablet. On top of that, google chrome has an extension on the desktop version that allows you to do the same thing and send/receive texts from the browser. Its pretty cool. The best part is is that it acts like a normal text message so it doesnt show the people I'm texting a different number or require them to be logged into google talk or anything.
[Nexus S General] repairsuniverse:
Does your outer touchscreen have been damaged or cracked? This take apart repair guide will help you to fix your damaged screen or other internal part on your Samsung Google Nexus S.

This guide will help you to install the following Samsung Google Nexus S replacement parts:

Samsung Google Nexus S Screen Assembly Replacement

Other Samsung Google Nexus S Parts

Tools Required:

Safe Open Pry Tool

Small Phillips Screwdriver

Adhesive Strips

Samsung Goggle Nexus S disassembly guide:

The first step will be to remove the back battery cover and the battery.

Using a small Phillips screwdriver, remove the six (6) screws holding the back housing in place, as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1​

Using a safe open pry tool, pry the back housing away from the rest of the device. It will be clipped into place, so carefully work your way around all edges with your pry tool.

Remove the three (3) small Phillips screws holding the motherboard in place. There will also be two (2) flex cables that will need to be released. These are simple pop connectors that only need to be lifted with a safe open pry tool to release.

Figure 2​

The motherboard can now be safely removed.

We are now left with the screen assembly and front case. Using a heat gun or hair dryer, heat the outside edges of the outer screen for 45-60 seconds. Use quick movements and do not stay in one area for too long.

Now, using a safe open pry tool, pry the screen assembly away from the front cover and bezel. Reheat if necessary.

Figure 3​

Your screen assembly can now be replaced.

Simply replace the damaged parts with the new ones and reverse the order to put your phone back together again.
[Nexus S General] doc_v15:
The screen is the super hardest part, tried with heat gun, but seams like it stick forever
[Nexus S General] repairsuniverse:
It shouldn't hard. Just use a pry tool and work your way round gently and slowly prying the screen up from the frame.

[Nexus S General] repairsuniverse:
If its not a connection issue then it could be a bad screen. Does the touch screen on your original still function ok? You may wish to contact your supplier.
[Nexus S General] repairsuniverse:
Thanks. Glad it helps!
[Nexus S General] jasonmaloney:
When attempting to disassemble my NS4G to do this repair, I encountered a lot of difficulty trying to remove the back housing without disturbing/breaking the front bezel. Fortunately, the replacement assembly I was installing came with a new bezel already installed; but had I needed to salvage the original (or if I ever need to disassemble the device again), do you have any more specific advice about properly removing the back housing?

Granted, I was using a guitar pick instead of a safe open pry tool, but I couldn't seem to do it without causing the bezel to come undone opposite my prying.
[Nexus S General] Räph96:
Yes, the old screen is working. Also i contacted the supplier. Somebody said that there are 2 versions for i9023. Is that true?
[Nexus S General] Prajnacara:
Excellent useful and informative thread.

You can't successfully replace just the glass. The glass and the LCD are fused together on these models.

You can't successfully replace just the glass. The glass and the LCD are fused together on these models as we said in an earlier post.

These eBay sellers really shouldn't sell these parts as they can not be used.

Thanks for the response. So even a heat gun won't work right?

Unfortunately not. This is not a screen that is just held together with the standard adhesive. These are fused in manufacturing and not designed to be separated.

[HTC One X] jackie_jerk:
I have set the Wifi policy to "Always on".

Many times (but not every time) when my One X goes into sleep mode, all data connections don't work. I notice it because I feel so strange there is no notification from Whatsapp and Line as usual. So, I press the power button and see no data connection at all. After a few second, 3G data connection appears but no wifi. Wifi then replaces 3G a few second later.

It usually happens and I feel so annoyed as I lost communication with my colleagues when One X is sleeping.

Is there somewhere in "Setting" that can override the "Always on" in Wifi policy? If I miss it, please let me know.

I feel very disappionted with my One X as it contains a lot of bugs.
[HTC One X] Artius89:
It's happening to me too, it's very frustrating because when turned on it show as connected while it's false.. and i'm unable to browse/etc without re enabling wifi manually.
[HTC One X] ossy1337:
Same issue on the One S. This is most likely a driver related problem or something. I think the next firmware update should fix this, but if anyone of you can provide a hotfix or something I wouldn't be sad :D

[HTC One X] adazamim:
Same Here
[HTC One X] kylec:
Mine is opposite, I want it to sleep on screen off but it keeps reverting to always on. Quite frustrating as it is the major cause of my battery loss
[HTC One X] vallandil:

[HTC One X] kingdeacon:
yeah same here, i've tested both over night and less battery used on wi-fi than 3g
[HTC One X] vua777:
I cant connect to my home wifi, it show connected then disconnect immediate

it no usaable now in my house
[HTC One X] Entreri:
I just noticed this, too. Really annoying when you suddenly stop getting any notifications for E-Mails etc.

This is also not fixed in 1.28 :/.

I seem to only have this during the night hours, though. Like there is some sort of "Quiet Hours"-function but they forgot to put it in the settings >_<
[HTC One X] Dave Trouser:
I think this is the special Sleep Mode kicking in, and the WiFi Always-On is overridden by it.

When I turn the screen off, I can still ping my One X over the network. However, after some time (maybe 5-10 mins) it no longer responds and has dropped its WiFi connection.

The Always-On WiFi option has only ever applied to when the screen is off. The sleep mode thing is new and not related to android itself - an HTC hardware thing by the look of it.

Maybe it's fixable in the driver software, but I believe the "WiFi always on" function is behaving correctly - it's the new sleep state that is breaking it.

I could be wrong, but that's what it looks like.

If someone has the time, try setting up a PC to continuously ping the One X and see if it keeps it from going in to sleep mode.
[HTC One X] adazamim:
Hello Dave,

Your analysis is quite impressive,

I also started dealing with this from "Special Sleep Mode" perspective.

I have got the FOTA, find data in my signature, and still suffering from the same issue.

To summarize my findings let me brief it:

When I first got the update, the problem seemed to be solved

I kept connected to my home WiFi router for several hours and got notifications from Whatsapp and Twitter

I thought the problem was solved and the bug was fixed, as I kept seeing my OneX on the WiFi Client on my router's managing interface on my PC

I shut down my phone, WiFi was on, and turn it back on

WiFi kicked in and connected with no problems,

An hour after, I sensed something wasn't good, notifications were silenced

I unlocked my phone and checked the status bar to find there were no DATA connections at all, nothing, no WIFi no Mobile Data, the usual bug

Now I started to think,

I Have got this problem after a full shut down, and at a battery below 15%

One thing to add,

I turned my phone off with WiFi enabled and when turned it on WiFi kicked in.

Now I am monitoring on the following basis.

I clicked all WiFi hot spots previously saved on my OneX and chose to "FORGET"

Connected to my preferred hotspot

Monitoring the WIFI,

with battery over 15%

, seems to be very healthy, more than an hour on sleep mode, and WiFi is on, uninterrupted and VERY CONNECTED

I will keep monitoring the behaviour till battery fall under 15% and will report back

I'll make sure to turn off WiFi before shutting down my phone if I have to, this is to eleminate the other variable and keep concentarting on one variable "Battery percentage"

A point to add:

On my previous Gingerbread SensationXE, there was an option on

Settings> Batter

y to control phone's behavior and stop background sync and other activities when battery fall below a pre-defined percentage.

Default was 15%

I can't find this option on my One X, IceCream Sandwich

That's why I started to analyse the problem from the perspective of "Special Sleep Mode - Below 15%" bahaviour.

I will report back as soon as I have results.

Thank you

Update:

Started to experience same issue when battery falls below 50%.

All DATA gone down, no WiFI and no Mobile Data.

Charged my phone to 73%, "Forget" all WiFi network.

WiFi off

Monitoring Mobile Data only.

Mobile data gone down after 30 minutes sleep mode, 73% battery

Connecting to WiFi, and started monitoring WiFi

WiFi + Mobile Data gone down after 30 minutes.

Power down phone, and then on, 73% Battery, WiFi off

Monitoring Mobile Data only.

Failed, and disconnected

Failure

I've done a Factory Reset !!!

Update:

No problems on WiFi, nor Mobile data whatsoever for the whole day until battery falls below 10% !!!

WiFi disconnected after exactly 15 minutes, Mobile data kicks in, then disconnected as well !!!

I turn on the screen after 20 minutes to find NO DATA CONNECTION of any kind.

Mobile data kicks in, WiFi replaces mobile data, and start receiving all data dependent notifications!!!
[HTC One X] Pabson:
I have the same problem, wifi is turned off sometimes when screen is locked.
[HTC One X] adazamim:
Hello Pabson,

Thanks for sharing.

Would you provide more information about your phone's software number, your location (Region, not specific).

Thanks again.
[HTC One X] Monrad:
Same here, tried several roms and the same happens with every ROM out there. What is more, I cannot connect to WIFI at work (WPA PSK) but I can connect perfectly to my home WIFI network.

Hopefully this is not a hardware fault and will be fixed.
[HTC One X] adazamim:
If it happens on every single rom you you installed, then apparently this is a hardware fault.

What "Base" do the Roms, you installed, created on?!

I mean based on what version of RUU?
[HTC One X] fallenwout:
same problem here.

I mis the "power saving mode" options like in android 2.3

It might idd have something to do with power savings mode kicking in.
