[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] OFWGKTADGAF:
Ive cracked my screen and ive found i can buy a new screen and lcd for 169.99. or i can buy just the over glass for $20. I heard you can use a heat gun to seperate the glass and the lcd. Has anyone done this and can tell me if it works?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cschmitt:
Mostly likely the digitizer will get destroyed in the process. Buy the complete unit.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kishke:
Someone said a few days ago he only replaced the glass but he had to break it in order to separate it, use the search I bet you'll find it quickly. If you can afford it take the whole thing, less chances of screwing up your phone, and you could always keep the old lcd for a test run with a glass only or in case you somehow manage to crack it again.

Still I'd suggest buying a screen protector once you fix your screen, costs less, barely noticeable and saves a whole lot of money and hassle.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hd2k10:
This. I cracked my screen and bought an entire new one for $160 via ebay. It took 10 minutes to take apart and install the new one and be back up and running. I also bought the Otterbox Defender, honestly...works like a charm. It's durable, nice, feels good and it doesn't feel as bulky as it looks. The only down fall about a case with a screen protector is that the Galaxy series has a screen that goes all the way to the edge of the phone (like most modern phones now) so hitting stuff on the VERY edge of the screen is more difficult because of the raised case.

Buy the screen and a protector and if you are still curious, buy the replacement glass for your broken screen and try it. Worst case, you're out 20 bucks and have a completely broken screen (would be out the other $160 for the new screen you'd have to buy if you mess up any way) or best case, you're out $20 bucks but have a new screen incase you ever break it again.

Unscrew the 7 screws on the back (one is above the sim slot, keep it separate as it's a different size) and once you take the back piece off, there's one small black screw holding the board to the screen. The phone is 3 pieces, screen, board and back piece, it's extremely simple. Just pop all the circuit things with your nail or whatever (there's like 6 total). You have to pry your headphone jack off as it's glued unless your new screen comes with one...doubt it.

someone posted they got sammy to replace it for 189, call sammy up and see what they say, i think thats a good price
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hooutoo:
Forget Glass

I repair phones and have replaced Lcd/digi assembly on both I727 and T989. No way you get that apart without busting the exiting assembly up. The cheapest part can be order via Ebay from China and you'll have to wait about two weeks for part. Or there's the company I used in San Fancisco at gounlock dot com that has it listed at $154 I believe. They have a listing on ebay under SkyStarTrade and I offered em $148 including shipping and the took it. I had the part in 3 days. Would highly recommend!!!!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hechoen:
I just got off the phone with Sammi Friday. The Rep quoted me $158 to replace the glass. So if they mess up the digitizer is on them. Cheaper than I was able to find the combo anywhere on line. So tomorrow my phone heads back to Sammi. I'll let you know in about three weeks how the service was and whether they honored their quote.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hechoen:
And exactly 8 days from the date that I shipped it to Sammi I have a my phone back. They replaced the LCD, bezel and glass for $158 as quoted. Not only that but they paid all shipping and used UPS 2nd day air both ways. And I'm still under warranty by having them take care of it. All in all couldn't be happier with the service. So if anyone needs the glass fixed my vote would go to Sammi.

Hey guys, I've recently successfully flashed Jelly Bean onto my Kindle Fire, but when I try to flash the gapps that hashcode linked with his rom of JB, it fails. When I try to install, it says:

"-- Verify md5 for /sdcard/gapps-jb-20120711.zip

-- No md5 file found, ignoring

-- Install /sdcard/gapps-jb-20120711.zip ...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

E: signature verification failed

* Verifying filesystems...

* Verifying partition sizes...

Error flashing zip 'sdcard/gapps-jb-20120711.zip

I can boot into Jelly Bean, but without the gapps, there really isnt anything there besides the browser and a few programs I had on the device, like evernote and bacon reader.

I searched for threads having this same problem and I couldn't find anything to help, but trust me posting a new thread was a last resort, any help will be extremely appreciated. I really want JB to work correctly, but without the play store it's hard to really get much use out of it. Thanks!
[Kindle Fire General] Hashcode:
Make sure that if you are in TWRP to uncheck "md5 signature" or something like that on the flash .zip screen.
[Kindle Fire General] THX10538:
I think that did the trick! I had to uncheck the Verify .zip signatures. I probably should have tried that in the first place, but didn't think about it. Thank you so much Hashcode! You're a GENIUS!!!
[Kindle Fire General] jji7skyline:
For anyone else having this problem, I fixed mine by reinstalling the jelly bean ROM, so if has code's trick didn't work for you, try this.
[Nexus 7 General] jalyn02:
Cause I am. Man, this little piece of tech punches a big hardware punch! Yet, there is no build out there that express the Nexus 7 quality wise, but Peter Alfonso! So, have you seen any news regarding a Nexus 7 build???

Has anybody seen a good Rom to improve battery life for the Inspire 4g? I have had horrible battery life with this phone, and that is the main reason why it is now my backup-hacking phone..
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nick281051:
Try them for yourself
[HTC Inspire 4G] xxkid123:
..Because every phone is different.

Although I've had good luck with CM7 roms. I guess you should start flashing those, then work to others.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nick281051:
Exactly
[HTC Inspire 4G] th3lawmak3r76:
The redemption rom is pretty good on battery but since the I4G has a small battery to begin with I would suggest using a vanilla rom/aokp and turning off mobile data, wifi, etc when it's not needed

Sent from my magic piece of metal using even more magic
[HTC Inspire 4G] man666:
This.

Anyways, here my best battery life with Leedroid 3.3:
[HTC Inspire 4G] tribestros:
Battery life suckz. Stupid phone has screwed me over in NYC too many times to count.
[HTC Inspire 4G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
I feel sorry for you guys. I don't know how you people use smartphones and can't figure out how to max your battery life. Turn off data, wifi, bluetooth, and gps when you are not actively using them. Always on mobile data is a killer. Disable all push notifications. And the biggest one is set custom automatic brightness adjustment. I set mine manually most of the time because stock, particularly with sense, is way too high. Even in a pitch black room it won't dial the back light down to minimum.
[HTC Inspire 4G] flyriver:
Virtuous

From my experience, you could try the Virtuous rom with sense 3.5, it has pretty good battery life.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Madridista7:
I've had my Inspire for a year and two months aprox., still with the stock battery. On GB the best battery life I had was on Virtuous Affinity 2.05, MIUI 2.4.20, and CM7.2 with LC's kernel. Also, IceColdSandwich 8.6.1 has given me a pretty good battery life. Yesterday I flashed JellyTime R12 and can't talk too much about this one. Always remember the basics, turn off stuff you are not using. And remember, every phone is different so the best way to know is to flash yourself and test for a few days.
[HTC Inspire 4G] shermanshen:
This is the best I've gotten on aospx br7

I recently switched to Sabsa Prime 6.0 from ARHD 6.3.2 and battery life has a noticible improvement, as well as performance. Plus it's working ICS.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sandy0594:
I don't know if it's my usage or what..None of the ROM gave me battery life of more than a day.Right now due to lot of chatting,i hardly get a day backup.

Used Existz's AOSPX,IceColdSandwich and now finally on Sabsa Prime v6.0

----------------

Device:Inspire 4G

ROM:Sabsa Prime v6.0

Kernel:virtuous_infinity-v1.35.0
[HTC Inspire 4G] Alan Pickle:
I am a moderate to heavy user and I work in a poor coverage area. All roms I have used, FroYo, GB, ICS, AOSP or Sense, get me to lunch. I plug in while on my break and that will get me home. I never go anywhere without car and wall chargers. Use it how you want. With the size of the battery and the size of the display, you won't get a lot of use between charging.

Not just a pretty Pickle.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rfmalta:
First, my phone works fine.... this is not a big deal but it bothers me a lot.

A couple of weeks ago I noticed when I was holding my S3, lightly squeezing the edges or the back cover, the phone was making a sound like it's not well assembled.. like it is loosen... (like a low "crick" or "crack" noise inside or something)... I don't know how to explain it better..

Anyway I found out that if the battery is removed, squeezing the phone sounds just perfect, very well assembled with nothin loosen inside (no "crack" noises)... So its obviously the battery that seems to be causing this...

Is this just happening with me or its a ordinary problem?? Is there something that I can do to stop this?

thanks!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michael_P:
Check none of the back cover clips are broken or any hairline cracks in it.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sgs2(ab)user:
My SGS3 is international unbranded from phones 4u UK. Never Dropped. My SGS3 also has this problem.... If I press the back cover at the top in between the camera and groove for removing cover I hear a crack or creaking noise. it may be the part of the problem with the back covers when the phone was originally released, Although they said that was a problem with the finish. Doesn't bother me but it is why people are always slagging Samsung's design/build quality.

This has the same fixes that chevyowner made in the thinktank thread, just compiled by yours truly. I figured I'd post it here to make it easier to find. This is overclocked and have more governors than FXP's kernel base does. Oh, and even though I said my modules wouldn't change, they have. So go ahead and redownload them, or stick with the modules that paxChristos uploaded.

Thanks chevyowner for fixing wifi, and then fixing it again. Fixed to save wifi passwords.

Did you flash all the files? Here's a list (complete, I think). I don't think the game launcher works on ICS, this is just to get the Market and stuff to recognize the device as "Xperia Play Certified".

Psxperia games are not the same as the games in the Game Launcher, or Xperia Play Launcher. Psxperia games will not work in ICS or later until a miracle happens lol, but the Xperia Play Launcher can be made to work. That's what they meant above.

No I didn't flash all of those. There was a flashable zip of game launcher in the themes and apps section, it said it was GB only but I tried it. I didn't realize I needed all of those too, I'll try it when I get home.
[Xperia Play Android Development] CosmicDan:
Seems everyones' phone and/or laptop has blown up recently.... all before current JB sources were committed to github :( so now we wait.

Game Launcher isn't needed for Xperia Play stuff. Copy those files, clear data for "Google Play Store" and "Google Services Framework" and all the Xperia Play exclusive games should start appearing in Market (as well as in the "Get Games" menu icon) and might/should fix gamepad in the games that previously worked on CM9.
