[Nexus 7 General] spooke:
It probably happens because your device has the screen lift too? or the screws are loose.

As before I did the washer trick my screen also did this on the left side only, it was spongy too, once I did the washer trick it didn't do it again. :good:
[Nexus 7 General] jaaystott:
Yeah I don't really see it as an issue, as long as my device works that's all I'm bothered about and I mainly use my iPad anyway.

Hmm, well the screen doesn't appear to be raised ANYWHERE and I only just got it yesterday (14th August).
[Nexus 7 General] regalpimpin:
My second/current one does this. But only on the left side. If you press on the black bezel around the screen on the bottom third. You'll get the ripple. Nowhere else though. And you have to press it pretty hard. It's not an issue.

No screen lift on this one. Screen lift was replaced by this ripple. That's actually how I noticed it, checking my new one for seperation, and spongy feel. Which it doesn't have.
[Nexus 7 General] rohan32:
Isn't this just a trait of LCD screens?

My One X has the same thing and has a Super LCD screen.
[Nexus 7 General] jaaystott:
LCD is the screen itself, it is a trait however the bezel and glass should stop this from happening, because obviously if this happens a lot, then device is going to be damaged :rolleyes:
[Nexus 7 General] Entropy512:
Yeah. If you see ripples, you are applying excessive pressure to the screen. This is standard for any LCD, not an issue.
[Nexus 7 General] aptmx:
Well said. Not an issue.
[Nexus 7 General] rohan32:
Yeah, I'm saying that because my old laptops did the same thing when you touched the screen. Not a issue...
[Nexus 7 General] player911:
Phones have Glass over the screen. You don't actually touch the LCD. You have the LCD, then the digitizer, then the glass. So I think this is because the LCD is too close to the digitizer because of the screw issue. I had screen separation issues on the left side and this ripple. I made some "washers" using some medication foil packaging (3x) and not only did it fix the screen issue, but the screws are nice and tight (fixes squeaks) and pulls the screen down away from the digitizer so you don't get this effect.

Mine USED to do this (mostly on the left side) but now it doesn't after I put in those "washers". The bottom left is more sensitive still but requires lots of pressure still. If you press hard enough on the screen the LCD will still ripple.
[Nexus 7 General] Warren_Orange:
RMA and chill.

I'm sorry but these threads are getting tiring now.
[Nexus 7 General] jaaystott:
Mine is mainly on the left side as well, its actually quire hard to recreate it on the right, though its possible. I'd just like to assure readers that I am not using excessive force on the screen at all, not even close. As I said, I can recreate this just by holding the tablet with one hand!
[Nexus 7 General] dilldoe:
wow, this has to be the biggest non issue for the nexus. it's a LCD if you press that hard of course the screen will ripple. yes the top is glass, but the nexus 7 screen uses a new process with less layers of glass to minimize thickness.
[Nexus 7 General] fatfingered:
Do you have a laptop or lcd monitor? Press on the screen and see what happens.
[Nexus 7 General] Warren_Orange:
OP you are pushing way too hard to simulate normal usage. The screen is covered in thin glass not bullet proof glass and if you push to hard it will flex and distort the black light and cause ripples.

Seriously this is a non issue.
[Nexus 7 General] shadowmonkey1974:
Yeh I got ripples if pushing to hard but had the common sense to understand this is not a fault its LDC my old omnia phone does it.
[Nexus 7 General] rollerpig:
there's also an issue if you throw your nexus 7 down some stairs it won't work

HAVE ANYONE FOUND A FIX!?!?!?!
[Nexus 7 General] player911:
Obviously under normal situations you'd have to press hard... but the OP is saying he is not pressing hard.

Take the back off and add some washers to the screws. Its a quick and dirty way to see if that fixes it. If not then either deal with it or RMA.

[HTC Amaze 4G] rad1224:
I am getting confused on the parts of the Android OS and what files are associated with each part in implementing a new ROM. I am also lost on what the procedure is for flashing a ROM onto my Amaze 4G. Can anyone please explain these problems in Noob terms? Also, what is the best way to store a ROM and its add-ins/tweaks? How should the directory be organized?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Spastic909:
Wrong section dude
[HTC Amaze 4G] Deleted member 3820412:
Though this is the wrong section, I'll help you out a little bit. I'm sure everyone has their own way of archiving things on their sd card for future use but you don't have to worry about organization when you flash a rom/tweaks/add-ons. They are put in their proper place automatically, they need to be put in these places for them to work most of the time.

You will need to make sure your phone is:

-rooted

-has a recovery

-has s-off w/ eng hboot

-has the correct kernel for the rom you want to use

Looking at the stickied posts in this section, you can find out how to do most, if not all of these things. Then when flashing a rom, you place it on your sd card, go into recovery, do a wipe which will delete everything on your phone, and flash the rom. If you are not confident in doing this, don't do it. I would be sure to do your research before doing any of this if you are just starting out. Also, as with anything on this forum, you do this at your own risk, if anything breaks, its your fault.
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
Perhaps he doesn't like reading, so we should tell him that is the amaze bible, and it has every answer he will need. :):) It is STILL up to date too.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jsyi84:
*S-Off is not a requirement to simply flash a rom.

*Kernels are not required to be flashed separately and most likely will not if you're happy with your battery life and blah blah

Hello friends

First i have to say that this is one of the most used forums for me when i have problems with some phones:good:

For good that I never had to post some questions and I found everything.

But now I have a problem with mi Galaxy s3

Some days ago I installed a new Firmware directly from the phone.

Before i had this one:

Ap: I9300BUALF1

Cp: I9300BULF1

CSC: I9300SWCALF1

After the Update the two Apps "Phone" and "Contacts" were gone:eek:

So I tought that i can download manually download my provider firmware and flash it with odin...

After the reboot of the flashing, first message was: "unfortunately massaging has stopped":(

Then I checked the firmware:

Ap: I9300BUBLG3

Cp: I9300BULG2

CSC: UNKNOWN

so i tried to choose the CSC manually with *#272*MY IMEI#

There i see nothing to choose only the sales code "SWC" and a clear button. When I choose the clear button and try to install it he says "must be three chars"

In Samsung Kies i have a backup of my contacts an so one. But the kies does not recognize now my phone...

How do i have to reset or flash the phone to have my factory settings with all running local apps to restore the data from kies

Hope that you can help me:rolleyes:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] guisar:
I have my 32gb card partitioned with 27G FAT32 (primary and first partition), 2G EXT4 (primary and second) and 32MB of swap (third). This used to work fine with my old EVO but the 2G is unrecognized in my e4gt and I've not seen a way to get it working. Moreover I don't understand how the 27GB and emmc are being used or referenced.

The /emmc shows up as only 1.23G (?) as does /sdcard. There is also an /sdcard1 with 4.47GB, where the hell these values are coming from I have no idea since they don't correspond to any of the partition values. Under settings/storage the1.97 internal storage, the 11.5GB og internal storage and 27GB FAT32 shows up. I can't figure out how they correspond to what's in /emmc, /sdcard and /sdcard1 and I have no idea where the 27GB FAT32 partition is supposed to be in the actual file system you can explore with root explorer, the 2GB partition doesn't show up under storage or under the file system at all.

Really sorry for posting new thread, but this forum is so messy and this phone too.

First of all I have an Xperia Arc S with unlocked bootloader and a custom ROM and Kernel so I'm no noob.

My friend has an Xperia Mini with framework .431 and he would like an AOSP looking ROM that doesn't require unlocked bootloader and custom kernel.

We've been looking around and found Real ICS and AOSP ROM. Do you know any other nice AOSP looking ROMs for locked bootloader?

I also found DragonClawsAreSharp's guide on how to root stock .431 firmware but I still don't really understand. :)

So I was just wondering if anyone could just give an easy to understand, step to step guide on how to root, install CWM and flash a custom ROM without unlocking bootloader.

It would be really appreciated :D

I've heard it can sometimes skip roads in g maps, but that's due to g maps not being 100 % accurate? Didn't notice at all this trip. Plus on power saving mode it lasted 2 days being used almost constantly. Was impressed since reviews didn't seem to laud the battery life.

It was working fine yesterday, as I am on the no sympathy rom. Today, it is having problems. I downloaded several different tethering programs and none worked. Any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shimp208:
Well there are several things you could try.

1. Make sure you have data coverage where you currently are (And that their isn't any temporary data outages/local network issues).

2. Try a simple reboot and if that doesn't work do a battery pull.

3. Clear any defaults and cache for any tethering apps you downloaded.

4. Make sure you havent accidentally changed any of your settings from when things where working for you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brian Gove:
My tethering goes in and out as well. For no reason, no settings will change and then it just wont work. I haven't completely 100% trouble shot it, but so far it seems force closing the tethering app and then starting again will make it work. Then some days it just doesn't want to work for me.

I'm on Synergy(though it's done it on every rom and even when I had my Droid X it did it then) and my phone's data connection is fine - I can browse the internet fine with it but it just won't be recognized by my computer at times.(won't even see it in the list of avail connections)

Is it hard-bricked (after flash attemp)?

With the recent ICS ROM release, I followed the posted instructions with my noob attempt at flashing ICS for the lt28i (not att). I got ICS on but after flashing GB 6.0.F.0.111 Firmware (the baseband only), the phone showed Sony logo a few times and went to a greyish screen (like it is still on?). The USB connection no longer works and I couldn't charge or force shutdown (power+volume up). So it is hard-bricked?

But the phone now couldn't power on and still not responding to USB connection or hard reset (the red led is still on whenever I plug in the charger or an USB port though)

EDIT: I got some respond, the phone now powered on by itself and keep on resetting at the Sony logo (stuck in bootloader?).

When I plugged it into the charger, didn't get the red led like usual, but when I plugged it into the USB port, the pc tried to detect the phone, but couldn't since the phone kept resetting.

Got some vibration for trying to hard reset (1) and force shutdown (3), but those didn't work as the phone powered on and reset by itself
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] KEB64:
I know it's not much help at this point but weren't you supposed to not flash the ics baseband and leave that gb file there? It sounds like your just stuck in a boot loop (soft brick) so something should get you back to working. Just be careful what instructions you follow next.
