Hi guys....

So i searched all foruns and including here.... There is no one who replaced the bezel?

I will sell my S3 and i want to replace the bezel for a new one, i saw on ebay a lot of bezel very cheap but im little scared to replace them.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liamR:
My bezel also cracked under the volume rocker.

Never dropped it and it's always in its case since I took it out from the sealed box :(

I have a crack just above the charging port but maybe that's my fault when charging the phone but still...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eyecon82:
No, it's not your fault. It's samsungs fault due to cheap plastic
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Littlejohno:
Well I eventually got the phone back re the sound fault after calling Samsung as it had been over a month I lodged a complaint and its come back with the sound fault fixed and a new screen and bezel.

Happy days at last :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaynpayn:
Samsung just uses cheap plastics. Doesn't really matter what people say, this is flimsy and just plain cheap. I've seen chinese stuff stronger than this. I don't really mind plastics, they offer lots of advantages but these are just crap. One good example of a really good plastic is the one on the back of the iphone 3g or what UAG uses in their cases. That is sturdy stuff, not thin crap that'll break easily. I've a crack on mine as well, really tiny on the top left edge but it's there. I assume it was made from the slight strenght applied by taking it out of the case once since i never dropped it. Plastic need to be really weak If it gets a crack from as little as this.

I'll live with it. If it starts annoying me, i'll just follow some disassemble repair guide and replace it with another cheapo one off ebay, but chances are i'll trade this phone for anything else sooner.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Erachter:
no chance.If you change this plastic you will also need to change the screen...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaynpayn:
Oh. Didn't know, thanks. Guess ill just need to replace the whole phone then :D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eyecon82:
HTC also uses good plastics like polycarbonate. Samsung is just cheaping out on us to maximize profit margins to satisfy their shareholders, not us consumers.

As a result, I'll be buying htc this time
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antz123:
Like most here, without any accidents or bumps my bezel too is cracked. My friend has also S3 , his is cracked on two areas.

I went to Samsung Service Centre and their answer was Bezel is attached to LCD so changing Bezel would mean changing screen as well. And Bezel is "cosmetic" damage which is not covered in warranty. All my fighting that this is manufacturing defect, becoz its inferior material was not heard.

As much I loved Samsung for bringing out fabulous devices, I think I dont want another cheap plastic.

Strange is Nokia is not an option, Samsung is out. Sony I believe is a company which asks for premium and then forgets the buyers, as in they never give updates on time and you are like lost with a over priced device. HTC there is always something a miss.

So am left in my mind as option only LG or any other new chaps who might become big soon, like Huawei etc etc.

Sad to no, brand which wants to beat Apple has no customer service at heart.

I seriously hope we can find Samsung's director's email id and send a petition together.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Littlejohno:
I had numerous issues and the phone had to go back twice the first time was a sound fault and bezel.

They repaired the sound fault but refused to repair the bezel.

The sound went again and the phone was away for 4 weeks I rang samsung and complained they stated they could not find the fault.

I raised an official complaint covering the same sound fault and cracked bezel alomg with the fact its a build issue.

They took this and didn't seem bothered.

They stated the phone would be sent back as they could not find the fault no mention re the damage.

I got the phone back four days later sound working new screen and bezel !!!!!.

I don't know if its due to the official complaint or not but worth a try.

Im very tempted to sell my s3 and save for it I just want quality and features it cant be that hard can it !!!!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naddie:
My S3 is exhibiting these cracks, too. One on each side of the phone, dead in the middle. One is cracked cleanly through so it looks like a manufactured seam. The other crack is under the volume buttons and is cracked half way (dark line then fades since it hasn't cracked all the way cleanly).

Before you say plastics on the iPhone was better, everyone I knew who had the iPhone 3G and 3GS (including myself - yes, I owned a couple iPhones) had cracks by the volume buttons - usually between the mute switch and the volume. Others had cracks happening near the dock connector.

Since it happened to everyone's iPhone 3G/S, we figured it was "normal wear and tear", though not all of us accept that of course...

AW: Cracked trim/bezel.

I noticed I have a crack a little below the power button, when I changed my case a few days ago.

So far RMA seems not necessary. I don't think it will fall apart because of it.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beatsleigher:
I doubt it's a crack. You'll find Samsung doesn't mount this in one piece, but in two so they'll have to join somewhere.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naddie:
No sir, that's a crack. Mine doesn't have a "seam" there, and neither do the other S3s I've seen (other friends' and display models). Besides the fact that no one else has it, if it WAS intentional, it would probably be dead in the middle (symmetrical).

If you want to see molding seams, check the four corners of your phone. Those are normal...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marbedMB:
The same crack at left side as posted below volume rocker. It is no about phone drop or something like that. It seems to be manufacturer issue. It is not possible to have exact the same crack it exact the same place of bezel
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Littlejohno:
Its a crack that Samsung won't admit I've had mine replaced with that and another fault but I made an official complaint.

When the phone was returned it was all new so I'd say complain but my next phone will probably be the HTC one

I got this crack develop a month ago right beside the charging port. I think this occurs when the USB port while connected is pulled suddenly or jerked upwards. It doesn't feel like the case is lose or anything but it is somewhat annoying.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Just seen this thread.

I've had the same crack for several months. I noticed it in November, just before I sent it off for SDS repair. It is most definitely a crack and not a "seam" because seams are not jagged.

It just appeared one day. It wasn't dropped or treated badly.

Hi guys,

I have the same trouble with a plasti crack near the volume down button. So crazy, it's the same place than others in this thread.

I will try to fix it from now. Some of you have information about warranty for that ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dihan91:
Few days back Sony announced ICS upgrade for my Sony Ericsson wt19i Live with Walkman but it seems that ICS is too much performance consuming and too heavy for wt19i's 512mb RAM and GHz processor.

I currently have a rooted Gingerbread 2.3.4 (and yes with a lot of personal customization) STOCK ROM which I like very much.

Now as you can see in this post by Sony Blog they did not officially released ICS for wt19i Live yet. But I want to try ICS right now. I have found a ICS ROM which can be flashed via FLASH TOOL and can be installed without unlocking bootloader.

Now my questions are:

Is it safe to upgrade this release?

Can I revert back to my old ROM after upgrading?

I have a Nandroid Backup of my whole system, can I simply use restore my Gingerbread 2.3.4 ROM after upgrading to ICS?

If your answer is no, can you help me how to downgrade back to 2.3.4 after upgrading to ICS?

Any help, link, rom, procedure will be of great help

I am a noob, so please try to be descriptive.

Thank You

JUST WANT TO SHARE MIUI LAUNCHER FOR ICS

i found in samsung galaxy sII forum

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1623026

first apk for the launcher, and 2nd apk for miui control panel

How to activate Appdrawer:

Install attached APK (MIUI settings)

you will get an application called MIUI Control Pannel open that app,

There are five option, only last option will work Which is "App drawer option"

check auto start and enable App drawer in that.

you can set pull down location also in that,

Now you can pull down the app drawer from top, just tap & hold and pull down from the location you set, from few millimetre down where we pull down the status bar.

(this you have to set after each boot)

I used to have this problem. I narrowed it down to some kind of timeout happening on the phone. I suspect it might have had something to do with the time it takes to download the actual update (I have a slow internet connection).

[Vibrant General] romitkin:
hi,

In the last few months, I have been having a poor call quality in not so quiet places. I know it's not the ideal conditions for a phone conversation, but a few months ago I could walk on a noisy street and have a conversation, now the other side can barely hear me. The same happens if there is a bit of wind, or another conversations. It seems the mic is too sensitive and picks up too much ambient noise.

The signal strength is excellent, I never get less than 4 bars or a worse signal than 71dBm.

Did anyone experience the same problems? maybe it is something related to the new ICS roms?

I always do the mute-unmute before talking.

Thanks.

It depends on ur ROM ......for the best call I will say use Ics passion with latest kiss kernel v8.2......but as far as I no in ics roms it is the best .

OK, no problem. If you're using Ice cream Sandwich, go to menu> settings> storage> factory data reset. That will delete everything from the phone, but not the SD card.

[Galaxy S II General] Oweida:
Hi All :-)

As a part from the team (though not a developer), moderators kindly and please do not remove this post !

As Qube2 said the rom is in its alpha stage or pre-alpha and this is not a team failure rather it's the beginning of what I hope an epic rom.

What exactly we need from you ( As Developers/Kernel Experts/Positive Contributors)

are the following:-

1- Joining the team if you have an expertise in cooking or developing.

2- Patches/fixes.

3- Thought's or Ideas.

4- Look at the logcat posted by the OP and try to figure out what we can do :-)

5- Please keep this thread as professional as you can !!!

Currently exynos is not doing good with the libs and this might be due to what's mentioned by Qube2 (the outdated libs). So if you have anything that may solve this you are most appreciated :-).

SD card is not mounted by the system on Nexus S port, so again if you can help with this you will save our team a lot of time.

Please remain positive :-)

Thanx and Peace.

Great guys and keep positive. If someone like in the Nexus S forums is posting negative comments all the time just ignore them.

And to the persons who dont know: The site doesn't conatin malware but the hosting has some sites who are hackers and spammers and that's why the warning comes up. Just ignore it it is 100% safe.

Ps to the OP: try contacting Chainfire. He is an expert with the Galaxy S, S2 and S3. He was the first to root all the devices I think or one of the first and is the responsable for the CM9 Galaxy S2 ports. He is Dutch too !

EDIT: also look on the dutch community/forum Tweakers.net they have great devs over there !

Or alternately look around in the zte blade ics threads... as a user of the blade I know they had to edit most of the libs for ics to work...

And be sure to contact shenye he is a great dev... once he started a sense 3.0 port for the glxy s2 and had an alpha released for some beta testers and just right after that he closed his own thread

I don't know if it was because of the rom but I think he had succes in booting it but there was really a big discussion in the thread between a handfull of persons and that is the main reason for shutting it down i think...
