Απ: Replacing Screen/Digitizer on GS3

I ordered one from amazon.I bought this damn phone for 600 €.My previous phone (lg p500) didn't got scratced by a lighter! Also it had fallen off more than 20 times and once while I was riding my bike doing like 30km/h.Now also my father uses it and he doesn't have any problems at all! But I wont put hands on this phone I am really scared in the idea of opening it.Also the digitizer costs only 20-30 €? I have heard that the screen and the digitizer were like one!

[Galaxy S III Accessories] imilleson:
Yeah bro same thing happened to me. I ordered the glass and discovered the lcd was damaged. Anywho Samsung would have fixed it for about the same price lol. 178 USD ... good luck though .
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rikusuicide:
I will never ever drop my phone again!! What should i get ? Bumper or better a case? some links would be awesome :D

I'm using a shock proof bumper stroke case. Its a two part case with the tpu shock absorbing tendencies but with a hard plastic frame that snaps on the back. Ebay link...http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=180962366716

The hard plastic was like a matt effect so I covered it in Di-Noc 3M carbon fibre & it looks very good imho. Cose me under £5 & ive dropped my fone a further 6 times since I put it on & theres not a mark on my s3 :)

You dont need to spend 60 on an overpriced bumper or case

Well, I called Samsung to arrange for them to replace my glass and they quoted me $178. From what I read on here that is what they charge people for replacing everything glass, lcd and digitizer. i told the guy all I need is the glass and he said if they replace one thing it has to be everything. Anyone else had this issue? Thinkin about calling back and getting someone new.

EDIT: I called 1-800-SAMSUNG and got transferred a few times to a person that ordered the repairs. Is there another number I should call to get my screen fixed for $65??

Απ: Replacing Screen/Digitizer on GS3

Heard the same thing also in the Netherlands where I live.Maybe get it to somebody that cooperates with Samsung. They maybe give you a lower price.E.g. in the Netherlands we have Dynafix but I have never used them for repairing any electronical device that I have.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] galets:
I replaced glass a few times on S3, and here's what I wonder about:

Originally, the glass is glued on to LCD/digitizer. When you heat-gun it out, you need to remove the glue, and put the new glass, so that it just hovers over the digitizer. That's not a problem by itself, but it could sometimes cause the issues. Such as: when the phone is warm, the glass could bend inside and touch LCD, which produces an ugly dot in place where it touches. It's usually not a problem, except when you are OCD like me :).

Obviously, this is not a problem, if a glass is actually glued back onto an LCD. I never heard of anyone actually doing it.

So, what I wonder about is: at Samsung, where they replace the glass in factory settings, do they fill the space between glass and digitizer with glue, or do they leave a space, like every other glass replacement folks do?

Replacing Screen/Digitizer on GS3 in USA

Don't mean to dig at a slightly old thread, but I figured I'd share this info with you all. I'm the guy that all his friends come to when a phone's screen goes kaput, and I've gotten plenty of experience with replacing them as well as price hunting. As of this post (Dec. 20th, 2013), a digitizer/LCD assembly, brand new, runs $99 shipped from California anywhere in the USA on eBay. Keep in mind, that's for the USA GS3s, the i9300 assembly costs $105 shipped. I don't know if Samsung's service prices have gone down to reflect that, but someone with a steady hand, precision screwdriver set, and instructions via youtube or elsewhere can do it themselves for almost half the estimated price from Samsung (that is, if you're willing to void the warranty). Personally, I've replaced a dead LCD/Digitizer assembly on a few phones that have gone back to the vendor (for other reasons) and haven't been caught as voided. All it takes is about 30 minutes of time, careful hands (eat a banana a while beforehand) and confidence.

If you're unsure about your capabilities/absolutely refuse to void the warranty (I'd imagine most of us are rooted/running custom ROMs, so you're already "voided"), by all means, go the Sammy route.

Hi are there any roms out that offer free hotspot because with the new unlimited data plan coming out I will lose my hotspot feature and hope there is a Rom that will allow me to keep it
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Davidion:
I use this app to pretty good effect. I don't know about roms with it baked in; the CM iterations usually have them, but I don't know about others.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=android.tether&feature=search_result
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gaww:
I just got an S III and hotspot will be a return and/or sell the phone issues. I installed this app, and it works so far. I read in a different thread that one user got messages from TMo and that it was subsequently blocked.

Have you used it enough to run into this? i don;t need it a lot, but would like to find a solution that has proven out to users.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ncarr:
as far as I know they are not allowed to cut you off due to wireless tethering anymore. I use the same app, though not very often, and I have had no problems

(Noob: so not allowed to post in Development topic...)

I just flashed the ICS tft (this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1838457 )

Everything worked like a charm (I relocked the boatloader first). One problem: the gallery is gone (I didn't swipe user data, so all my music and pictures are still there) When you tap the media icon on the home page it just shows 'walkman' 'FM radio' and 'Camera'. There is still room for the fourth icon but it doesn't show. Anyone else having this problem? (btw. I can still acces the pictures through the camera app, but this is not ideal)

Tried:

-restart

-hard reset

-searching for various changes in the settings menu

I googled and also searched xda, but haven't found anyone with the same problem. Is there anyone who knows what might have gone wrong?

Note: since my laptop runs on windows 7, I have problems with the mtp device (like many others out there) and can only acces my phone through flashtool. I would try and flash it again with the 'swipe data' checked, to see if that makes a difference, but then I will loose my pictures (since I cannot normally connect to pc companion or my laptop, I haven't been able to make a back up yet.....)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] YousifNael:
Did u flash stock ics via flashtool ?

If so did u install the xperia S drivers ?

Are u sure u dont have the album app?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Razdagar:
no, the problem is that the album app isn't visible on the homescreen when you press the media icon (along with the other three; walkman, radio and camera). It is still visible in the main applications menu.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] YousifNael:
So where is the problem ? u want it in the folder at ur home screen ? drag and drop

Hey guys do you know if there is an app coming out that displays the number of unread notifications on the app icon, for jelly bean?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] buzzcomp:
Try GO Launcher EX with the GO Launcher EX Notification plugin.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3rdstring:
Both Nova & Apex have the feature, might only be with the paid version though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
This is what I was going to suggest, I know with Nova you have to download a "plug-in" app for the function.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GhostDZ9:
Well I tried go launcher and I didn't like it, I will look into nova, I am considering developing it my self as I am a programmer so we will see how this works out first
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] buzzcomp:
Personally I'm using Nova Launcher (free).

I hope you can develop it as good if not better as Nova Prime (paid) and make it available for FREE :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GhostDZ9:
I will see, next week I'm ordering my laptop so gotta wait for that to arrive :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GhostDZ9:
So I'm going to build my own indicator, because just for notifications you shouldn't have to pay and the two options (nova and apex) are a little laggy on my phone :/

Hi

Today i got a message that there is a new firmware ready for my ONE S.

It says it includes 4.0.4 and sense 4.1 plus wifi enhancements and ea games.

The wifi enhancements and ea games was also offered on a different update not too long ago.

Problem is that whenever i download and try to install it reboots and goes into CWM which stops with an error that it cannot find the file.

When i try to install the file manually from the download directory with the signature verification off (if on it fails at once) i get :

assert failed: check_cid(getprop("ro.cid"), "00000000", "11111111", "22222222", 3 4 5 6 7 etc ........

Error in sdcard/download/OTA_Ville_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.31.401.5-2.21.401.10_release_275774cltf0sxl730g7fp1.zip

Status 7...

My phone is S-off via htcdev and rooted to be able to install adblocker and a few other things.

I have seen some sites and explanations for "status 7" but they are mostly linked to people flashing homemade roms, i am trying to flash a rom that supposedly is directly coming from HTC...

Anyone know what is wrong ?
[HTC One S] Antubis:
1) You had to search how to proceed before asking...

2) You're not S-OFF...

3) You have to unroot, use stock recovery (and maybe relock bootloader, there are some discussions about it...) to apply an OTA.

4) You're not S-OFF, you'll be flamed for what you said...
[HTC One S] xsatquest:
Ok, will there be a "modified stock" that i can flash without having to remove CWM and install stock recovery.
[HTC One S] Stiflerlv:
could you give me link, where it describes, how to unroot and get stock recovery?
[HTC One S] GuestX0019:
OP, you may need to change your CID first, there are threads and posts on this. Esp now with 2.31 out

And for FYI--some people did get s-off phones--not saying OP does--
[HTC One S] theguitarman94:
I changed my CID, Re-Locked boot-loader and installed stock recovery. I'm on 2.21 my phone can't even find the ota so there must be other factors
[HTC One S] GuestX0019:
That's why I never do OTA's, just wait for it in next rom like TD or Axiom etc
[HTC One S] Charkatak:
Your phone needs to be on 1.78 so you could get this 2.23 OTA. I am on 2.21 and don't have OTA either. We will need to wait for RUU file of 2.23

So today my phone was on and everything was fine, then while I was charging it, went away from it a few minutes then came back it was on the boot menu. It now can not get past the boot menu ever.

I have ClockWork Mod recovery installed, and CM7.1 stable.

I did a "backup" via the ClockWork Mod Recovery of the system.

I am also quite tempted to get the CM9 RC2 installed. But screw it if it any kind of unstable. CM7.1 stable is unstable enough.

What should I do? I would prefer it if I did not lose all my stuff (like app notes etc).

Can I like just put my phone into Download Mode, place the CM9 RC2 on the root folder, then do the good old

cyanogenmodWiki Full Update Guide method via recovery

without losing anything?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trotos:
If you have done a "backup" from CWM before the failure just restore that.

From CWM menu try to do a dalvic and cache clean up. also clear init.d and nstool settings and try to reboot

If you want to be more adventurus and loose your contacts, sms, settings...and other stuff from CWM do full wipe and cache and dalvic and then install your favorite rom.

I haven't loaded the newest CM10 build myself, but I have never known an AOSP ROM to have build in PRL or profile update (please correct me if I'm wrong there.) There are ways of flashing these updates, but honestly what I used to when I was running AOSP on my Evo was just occasionally load the stock ROM and update, then go back to CM. It will take a few minutes, but you shouldn't have to do it often.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KBizzle:
Cm attempted to implement it at one point but I don't think it was successful.

Just nandroid your current cm rom, flash the stock rom, update prl and profile, then restore your nandroid.

I've recently gone ahead and purchased two extra batteries (extended higher capacity versions). One 3300 mAh and one 4300 mAh. They both come with their own special (larger) battery back cover. This in turn makes the phone much thicker and no normal case or protector will fit anymore. I've looked everywhere and just can't find any larger cases.

Has anyone found or know where to look for larger cases that will fit S3's that have extended batteries? I really do need to find something.

Does anyone use headphones with the audio lineout on the pogo pin desktop dock?

When I use my headphones with the dock, from what I can tell, the volume cannot be adjusted via the phone and I find it to be a little bit too high. I believe the audio out line is meant for external desktop speakers and what not and I thought I read somewhere that it isn't recommended to use headphones with the 3.5mm headphone jack.

Maybe there is a dock setting within the phone to be able to control the volume that I am missing but worse case scenario I may just pick up an inline 3.5mm volume control connector like this one:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smark72:
Sounds like you don't have a custom recovery in your phone yet. Look into flashing twrp's touch recovery. You tried to flash through the stock recovery.

Download ROM toolbox from market and to flash a recovery(twrp) go to tools>manage Rom and then on the top choose the manage tab. The top of the list is the option to flash a recovery. Flash recovery and then you could come back to the app to flash the ROM of your choice.
