[General Questions and Answers] Eeyore58:
The switch on my Galaxy Tab P1000 has broken. It is depressed and no longer clicks. I am looking for a replacement but all of the sites I find are in China. Does anyone know of a good vendor in the US that sells parts for my Tab?

Thanks,

Eeyore58
[General Questions and Answers] deanwray:
I'm from the UK but I would think Asia is your best bet. I have a few p1000s and never taken one apart. But from an electronics stand its a button not a switch so it is quite simple to look at and see why it's not working... perhaps you don't need to replace?
[General Questions and Answers] Eeyore58:
P1000 switch

Deanwray,

The buttons for the on/off and volume control functions are tiny dome switches that are mounted on a flexible cable. The buttons/switches are not repairable. The cable and buttons/switches must be replaced as a whole item.

I was hoping to find a vendor close by so that I would not have to wait the 3-4 weeks that it takes to get to me in California. But I did a better search on eBay and found a seller in the UK that is cheap ($3.09) and indicates that it would take about a week to arrive here. So I will try them instead of China.

Thanks for the email,

Eeyore58
[HTC Sensation] ontzaboy:
Im planning to maybe pass on my sensation to my 67-year-old father. It would be his first smartphone as well as first touchscreen one.

The issue is, that my father is not an expert in electronics by far (barely knows how to read and write text messages). His old phones have been plain nokias (yeah the legendary ones) and such. Also his fingers are very thick (about the size of a billiard stick).

Alas what do you think would be the best ROM to suit him?

What im looking for is a simple interface, easy to use, and something that has good batterylife (he often forgets to charge his phone)

Trying out different ROMs isnt that simple to him because if he learns to use one function of a ROM then it will be difficult to adjust to a different ROM that functions differently.

So what do you suggest? :):)
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
How about virtuous inquisition,? It is senseless, stable, excellent battery life, no frills, Rom. I personally think that would be a excellent choice for seniors. He won't have any problems with it. Hope this helps. I know if I gave my mom a Rom , I likely would choose this for her. This way he won't be burdened with problems or battery drain .I think this is the best choice. Best wishes .
[HTC Sensation] ontzaboy:
That might be a good solution :)

Im currently running Bruces CM10 kang and I think its a little bit too complex
[HTC Sensation] mew24:
VI is my favorite stable ROM but I'd have to say that MIUI is the best ROM for an elderly person. The large icons, the simplicity, really everything is much easier on it except for the browser (download dolphin instead).

Good luck :)
[HTC Sensation] ontzaboy:
Thanks for the good answers :)

Do you guys think ics would easier than gb?
[HTC Sensation] tin2404:
I think it is opposite. Gb is easier than Ics..also as CM7...If you install CM7 you can install launcherpro or other launcher, and resize big icons on your preferances. i think that ics has much "rigid" interface than cm7.

ics has incorporated those bloatware "beasts" like tweeter,facebook chat,gtalk...etc. etc...so you should think to remove them from rom before installation.just to avoid sporadic popups and notifications that could confuse him...CM7 does not have it. (and it is noot needed to have).

I recommend Hypersensation CM7 .
[HTC Sensation] gustav30:
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that a stock looking Sense Rom like ARHD would be suitable for elders. Sense widgets are pretty user friendly, setup a coupe of home screens (not the default 7). I think that would work. That's whhat I would do if I had to give an android phone to my parents.
[HTC Sensation] mew24:
If you are going the MIUI route, gb/ics/jb are practically all similar. From my experience ICS had over 20hour battery where GB had like 12hour so you might want to look into that as well.
[HTC Sensation] blackcell1:
I'd go back to stock or install hypermiui (by far the most battery efficient)
[HTC Sensation] ontzaboy:
I ended up installing miui and he surprisingly manages with it quite well!:)

Battery lasts for at least two and a half days, and theres not much that he could do to screw up the phone. :)
[HTC Sensation] zipalign:
which MIUI did you install?

the miuiandroid release or some mod available here on XDA?

[HTC Rezound] lukester01:
I am using Newts OneXXX ROM. Love it, but the camera does not work completely. The known issues I've read about are that during video the image capture button doesnt work, and face detect must be turned off. I'm having a problem with these of course, but more importantly the Panorama Mode closes the camera app, and the HDR (sun mode) also closes the camera. These both work on the Sense 3.6 camera, and I very much would like to use them. I've installed the ROM twice (first one was unstable due to I think incomplete wipes), so I don't think it is my install. Does anyone know if there is a fix for these issues? Am I the only one with these problems?

Just a note, the Autofocus does work great.
[HTC Rezound] kirbfucius:
I use Nil's Business Sense 4.0 v2.6 and my camera is fully functional.
[HTC Rezound] csong95:
just use the custom hq camera app you can find here
[HTC Rezound] lukester01:
SOLVED all working

The fix was to use Titanium backup, and under backup section find the camera app and "wipe data". This fixed the panorama mode, and the hdr mode. Interesting that this was on a fully wiped phone with the ROM installed. This was the second install for the ROM. There must be a problem with the install routine. I used the blue themed One XxX v3.2.1
[HTC Rezound] 66racer:
Thanks for that I was having camera issues on a different rom and may try that next time it starts up again.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gabeloooooo:
Hi,

Love the phone, but the wifi is so bad it is ridiculous. First of all, I always have to do *#0011# to disable wifi saver otherwise is it completely unusable.

But even then, it randomly disconnects. Seems this device is simply unable to deal with many APs or many networks. It is completely useless for VOIP because of this.

Is this going to plague this phone always? Meaning: is this something that can be fixed by custom roms and or kernels (I know samsung will prolly never fix)? Or is it simply the hardware that is badly designed and will always suffer from this?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henrybravo:
FWIW this is not a universal problem. I usually flash a new custom ROM version about once a week to keep up with the latest ICS firmwares, and have never had any wi-fi connection issues. I'm often on 2 wi-fi networks throughout the day (one at home and one at work). I've never done the *#0011# trick or anything like that.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gabeloooooo:
I do wonder if it is hardware related then...

My understanding was that this is very related to the routers. All my APs are running dd-wrt. Very annoying to see my iphone and ipad never having these issues whereas my daily driver (the s3) is pretty flaky. Maybe someday there will be a true fix!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daelyn:
No issues here either. Have a multi AP setup at home and work with upwards ten SSIDs at work. Mostly g/n networks. 2.4 and 5GHz works equally well. No problems anywhere, not even in town at cafes or my parents crappy Thomson all in one ADSL modem/router.

Using AOSP but Sammy original worked fine also during the first and only hour of use.

Did you update your phone? The update fixed my issues with WiFi and haven't had to enter the screen since, and yes WiFi is really good now
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ciscostud:
Dude, my s3 wifi adapter is very good. you should analyze your wifi AP and see who is sharing your channel frequency . Most people use same channel 6 by default. Channel 1 is the least used IMO and it's clean. If 1 and 6 are often used then use 11.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gabeloooooo:
My apologies, I'm on stock LG8, rooted. Tried a bunch of kernels.

Waiting for an official JB since I've read all the posts concerning the wifi issues indeed!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gabeloooooo:
My main APs are on ch1 and ch11. Other networks are far away (no interference, and signal is pretty clear.)

To clarify: when I do the 0011 trick, my wifi is pretty stable, but disconnects from time to time making it too risky for me to get on a VOIP call for fear of disconnection. Speed is great though. And every once in a while, it will simply not switch correctly between my two networks (one in house, one in garage), it gets stuck on 'getting ip'. I then disable wifi and reenable, which fixes it. (thank god for WiFi Manager Premium's widget)

It is not unlivable, mind you, but it is pretty crazy annoying. Especially when ALL other wifi devices I have never have any issues.

Will try a full stock reset when JB comes out officially, that always seems to help in the many wifi threads I've read in the forums thus far.

I recently had all kinds of strange problems with my phone. Charging slowly.. wifi was terrible. The rom i was running made no difference.

In the end i was going to send it back as i thought i had faulty hardware. The day i was to get it sent off.. i thought what the heck.. ill try a .pit file to force a full repartition. And its only gone n worked!

Phone is back to running how it should.

I would be VERY careful flashing .pit files tho... is always a last resort. :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brianius:
Hi,

I had exactly the same problems with wifi like the OP! My S3 was always either not connecting nor finding networks. Sometimes it worked and then the phone was loosing wifi all few seconds... reconnecting. Using skype was not possible!

Above that, pressing power-off to send S3 to sleep was not responding everytime... sometimes the screen stayed on but touchscreen was not responsive. Then power-on again it was not responsive, too.

So a lot of problems with a device at this high price...

After nearly 2 weeks I've sent it back and got a new one. Now everything works perfectly!

Both devices were updated to newest update LG8.

If it is a software problem, there is maybe something going wrong while updating, otherwise I would say it's an hardware issue.

Good luck!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ciscostud:
I don't know the topology of your home network or equipment. But routing with Nat, and two different network using the same private ip address range could cause issues. Again I have no idea what's up with your network. Are you running a essid or two different networks?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gabeloooooo:
Doubt it, simple enough setup. One main, one wired AP (both on same SSID) and a repeater bridge for garage, diff SSID. No problems with the laptops, apple devices, etc.

Will test out every kind of wipe/flash... I fear exchanging it will be hard seeing as this is an unlocked international version bought in Canada online.

To install it i have to go to program named Search Phone, search for HomeTab , press it, and install on device...

WHY DO I HAVE TO INSTALL IF AFTER FLASHING IT!?!!

i would be grateful if somebody can send pictures of the Desire HD and the locations of the Void Stickers.

I require to send my desire hd back to htc as it no longer reads any sim cards. i think the reader is broken. i restored to factory settings.

i remeber a while back they was 1 sticker which fell off when the phone was new but i do not remember if it was under the battery flip or the screws near the sim card reader itself.

so could someone please send me photos of the screws near the battery with the cover open and also the sim card reader cover open and where the void warranty stickers are?

Hello, which matte full body cover would you recommend for HOX? I'm using PhantomSkinz Matte Full Body Kit on Sensation but, I could not apply it properly I think and had some problems at the corners. You can find nearly 1 year old cover photos below. Your info and recommendations are much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[HTC One X] vegetaleb:
It looks really bad!

get a real cover or leather pouch
[HTC One X] DJouneyt:
You are right but, I prefer to use the phone with nearly original appearance. My main concern is to prevent the device from scratches. Due to material of the body, scratches should not be much visible I think. If I could not find good matte full body cover, maybe would prefer to use screen protector only.
[HTC One X] vegetaleb:
In reality the HOX back has a matt layer that wear off with time (table contact)

I never used a cover before (N1,DHD,Sensation) but the HOX yes
[HTC One X] DJouneyt:
I like the matte looking on phones but, as you say, even holding the HOX after time makes it's body to turn from matte to shiny. Actually, just relizaed that with matte body cover will keep the matte looking also :)
[HTC One X] emptyness:
I think that with time all plastic covers got that look. Edges peel off and loses the original transparency. I saw it with ArmoredShield.
[HTC One X] DJouneyt:
You are right unfortunately but it is the best way to protect the device without adding bulk IMO.

I have found following matte full body covers for HOX.

Phantom Skinz Matte Full Body Kit

Phantom Skinz Matte Full Body Kit for Sensation offered 1 matte body cover, 1 clear screen protector and 1 matte screen protector (received 2 for 1 due to their Internet Special). I applied clear screen protector and it covered the screen pretty good, there is about 0.5 mm space to some of the edges but it is due to my installation I think. Could not find any reviews for HOX though.

SPIGEN SGP Ultra Matte Shield Full Body Protection film

I read here that SGP screen protector does not cover whole screen. I am not sure if Steinheil Olephobic LCD film, included in above mentioned SGP kit, also does not cover whole screen. Also, do not know if Steinheil Olephobic LCD film is matte or clear.
[HTC One X] Nitin985:
The oleophobic scree protector dosent cover the whole screen. It is a clear screen protector not matte
[HTC One X] venustraphobic:
When you remove this cover it will mess up the color of the phone.
